The ladies of the local w. c. T. U.
met in the library parlor Tuesday,
the Slst, in commemoration of the
life as we'll as the death of our be-
loved state president, Mrs. Edith Hill
Booker, who passed away at her home
in Portland Saturday, the 2Sth.
Hers was life of conservation to
the work taken up, and we mourn
that she should be thus early taken

We find that Mrs. Bert Greer was
once schoolmate of Mrs. Booker
and speaks Of her only IN highest
terms, as does also Mrs. Woodward
of Grant street. who at one time was
a member of her congregation. She
was present when Mrs. Booker was
ordained to the Baptist ministry, in
Pittsburg, Kan. Because of her
beautiful Christian life, divinely led
her congregation grew until it often
became necessary to move into larger
churches. About the year 1898 the
Baptists built fine edifice more
suited to accommodate the people
Her lecture, THE Burning Gas Well

who heard it, one of the best ever
given on the coast.
We, as co-workers, will ever cher
ish the memory of our beloved leader
and will endeavor to carry on the
work she planned with such prayerful
energy. MRS. ASHCRAFT, Pres.

MASS MEETING ON
 PHONE QUESTION AnnistOn May Compel Com pany to Place Its Wires
 Underground

Anniston, June 12.-(Special)- Ut was an- nounced Friday afternoon that unless the Southern Bell Telephone company with holds the proposed advance in it's rates here pending the investigation into the company's local operations and an ex- animation of the books as relating to the Anniston exchange, a mass meeting Of the citizens will be called for early next week and a demand formulated that the company be forced to place it's wires underground, as proposed in a petition to the city council by about 800 citizens Thursday evening.
 It has developed that the company has perpetual franchise in Anniston, and that the city council is bowerless to prevent the raise in rates. The people are determined to fighv the increase, how ever, until it Is determined that the pro- posed increase is just and equitable. They want to know how the company figures out a valuation of s171,0 900 on its prop erty here and to know exactly by what process of reasoning the company figures that it costs more to operate as the city grows, according to a statement of one of the opponents of the raise.

CORONER MARBLES
 THIS IS THE LIFE"

Coroner Charles l.. Spain sent up an s. o. S. signal late yesterday afternoon, after noticing that his docket was chok- ing with inquests and post mortems, and bidding a fond revoir to his secre- tary, he fled to the wilds of Woodlawn.
 Let them shoot and kill each other; Pm off to see my family before I drop over with the heat" said the county of ficial as he fled.
 The following items aggravated the cor oner yesterday: t
 Susie Gray, a negress, dropped dead from heart failure, superinduced by the extreme heat, about Il o'clock in the morning at HI Eighth avenue
 Investigated the killing of Mel Yancey Thursday afternoon in West End by Will Reed, a negro. Incidentally, Will Reed was captured yesterday morning on Red mountain. between Ishkooda and Mason City, by Desk Sergeant Kenneth War ren and Officer Martin.
 Investigated the killing of Irene Long by her husband, George Long, who is still at large.
 Investigated the killing of negro known as Dog Boy'' at Banner mines by guard named Young. The inquest for this killing was set on the docket for next Monday.
 And as the infirmaries have several men suffering from gunshot wounds and other | injuries the prospects for a rest for the coroner are considered slim. '"The coroner and his job are to be envied," says MT. Spain. He gets $1O0 a month and has to pay out more than half his salary for his expenses. He only has to labor like a Yaqui peon fol 1 23 hours and 60 minutes, seven days out of the week. He spends his spare time in studying economics and singing, This is the Life {"

PROSPEROUS YEAR ON FARMS PROMISED Confidence in General BuSi- ness Outlook Strength
 ened as Result
Collins Prices Keep Collins Crowded

New York. June 12.-Dun's review will say tomorrow: Official promise of another prosperous year on the farms tends to strengthen confidence in the general business outlook. The govern ment grain report this week made a splendid exhibit With increased wealth from the soil, the purchasing power oi the agricultural community will be enhanced; an enlarged railroad freight traffic is indicated by the bonnt1ful barvests and, since funds here are in abundant supply, no difficulty should be experienced in financing the mar keting Of the crops
 In regard to the monetary situation much significance has attached to re- cent developments; gold is still being drawn from this center in substantial volume without exerting any material effect upon rates for accommodation.
 Absence of uniformity continues to chararterize trade adyices but, consid- cred in broad sense. favorable reports predominate.
 Failures this week arc 2s4 against 25s last year. failures in Canada S3 against 39.

To Look and Feel
 Bright in Hot Weather

This is the season when she who would have a 1Ily-whfte complexion teiou1d turn her thoughts to mercolized wax, the firm friend of the summer girl Nothing so effectually oyercomes the soiling effects of sun, wind, dust and dirt. The wax literally absorbs the scorched. discolered. freckled. withered or coarsened cuticle, bringing forth d brand new skin, clear. soft and girlishly beautiful. It also unclogs the pores, re- moving blackheads and increasing the skins breathing capacity. An ounce of store. applied nightly like cold cream, and washed off mornings, will grad uaIly improve the worst complexion.
 When depressed by the heat and you want to freshen up for the afternoon or evening. bathe the face in lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered sax find this more refreshing than an hour s rest. It is fine for smoothing out wrinkles. even the deeper ones.
