Alexander City, April -(special.)-The friends of J. A.

 Dear Sr-Official returns from almost all counties convince me that you have won out and that you will make the race in the second primary.
 Your knowledge of farm work, which has come from actual experience and which has been demonstrated in the suc- cesses that have attended your efforts eminently qualify you for the position of commissioner of agriculture and compel the belief that your administration will be productive of great uplift and bene- fit to the agricultural interest of Ala bama.

If the Alabama City, Gadsden and Attalla Railroad company declines to reduce it's rate, it is declerad that the city will build a municipal plant. Tho council has been considering the question for two days, in connection with the report of expert engi- neers, and while no statement has been made. enough has leaked out to justify the statement that the plan to build 8 municipal plant Is considered feasible.

EUFAULA
 ON PAYING BASIS

Eufaula, April 17-(Special) )-The re- port of the water and light department of the city of Eufaua for the six months ended April l is a most gratifying one. not only to city officials, but the resi- dents of Eufaula as we'll. It is especially so because it was rumored recently that the gas plant would be closed down or tue minimum rate increased in order that operations could be continued It has been found, however, that the plant, in. stead of showing a deficit for the half year, shows a profit of $69.23. The profit on the operation of the waterworks was S,o8o9; that on the electric light plant s662.0; that on the sale of supplies, s99 ss. The report made by Superintendent Skin Ter is an index to the efficiency to which the three plants have been raised dur Ing their two years operation under the present plan.

The public welfare is promoted greatly by the ex- pansion of special transportation serv- Ice. The hope is, however that here after the express service and the parcel post service can be systematized through cooperation on the one hand With the government and on the other hand with the express companies that each system can fully meet the demands of the public without impairing the in- tegrity of express service efficiency, since that is regarded of the utmost im- portance in public and mercantile inter- est. Within the next two or three years, 1t is hoped that there may be es- tablished perfect adjustment between the two Services. It Is to be in the nature of an adjustment of some fea- lures about a business life to new con ditions and the hope is that this ad- justment can be made without friction or impairment to private capital

Shown to be Cheaper Than Parcel Post Rates in
 Many Instances
GREAT VALUE LIES
 IN THE LONG HALLS
The New York Merchants do Not Want to see the Express Com panies Put Entirely Out
 of Business
By HOLLAND

New York April 17.--(Special. l--Many questions are asked by those who are anx- ious to learn some details relating to the rates recently established by the express companies in comparison with rates es- tabrshed by the postoffice department at Washington for packages weighing live, 10 or 20 pounds. There seems to be an impression that a comparison of the rates will cause suspicion to prevail that the parcel post system may after awhile 80 seriously affect the revenues of the ex- press companies as greatly to impair their earning power.
 Yet a careful comparison which has re- gently been made under the direction of G. A. Shrague, an authority on express company statistics, indicates that this impression is not justified. For. notwith- standing the heavy loss in revenues occa- stoned by the parcel post service. the ex press companies are likely hereafter to have the advantage to be found in tower rates on packages shipped on both short and long hauls between the larger ship ping centers of the United States
 The decision of the stockholders of one of the largest of the express companies of the United States in favor of liquidat ing that company has been looked upon as acknowledgment of the severity or the competition between the express cor- panies and the parcel post.
 The statistics recently compiled show that the parcel post rates from New York to Bangor, Me, TOT example, are 2S cents for 70 pounds. Therefore the ex- charges fOr service a as Bangor, Me, are little in excess or the parcel post charges Tor fiye-pound packages, but they are less than pa.cei post rate for 10-pound and 25-pound pacl.- ages.
 New express rates from New York to Butte, Mont, are bS cents for five-pound packages, 96 cents tor lO-pound packages and sl.72 tor 2o-pound packages. These are considerably less than parcel pest rates to Butte, for the postoffice depart ment exacts to cents for 1ive-pound, sl.20 for 10-pound and $40 for @-pound packages. Throughout the west ern part of New York state the express rates are slightly in excess of parcel post rates, as, for instance: Express charges to Buffalo for fve-pound parcels are 26 cents, parcel post rates being Il cents Express rates for 20-pound pack ages to Buffalo are 46 cents, while par eel post rates are A cents. The same rel ative difference is to be found in the rates charged from Chicago for express service to larger cities as compared with the parcel post rates, and that is also true of the rates charged to St Louis to large cities within different zones, both for express and parcel post service. If we take, for instance. San Francisco, it is found that express charges to Ban gor, Me, for five-pound packages are "A cents, for 10-pound packages SIPS. .nd for 20-pound packages $2.26. whereas tho parcel post rates from San Francisco to Bangor are for five-pound packages, Co cents, for 10-pound packages sl.20. and for 20-pound packages $40.

Make Good Examination.

In searching for trouble of. any kind.
the motorist generally examines tho
face Of his valves. either inlet or e1-
haust. and II they are found to At
tight and to be apparently In good
order his, examination. seldom goes
further. But It Il very possible that
the cause Of the trouble may BIO the
valve spindles and guides! OF course,
every motorist realizes that tho mix
ture Is the all important matter as
regards the carburetor. The proper
lions Of vapor and air may eact'y be
upset, II from wear the valve, stems
are reduced or the space between the
guides become enlarged, as a small
amount Of air at this point is enough
to destroy the proper proportions OF
the mixture. When this occurs the
action OF the throttle IL rendered I'M
even. One minute the engine speeds
up and the next It drags heavily. It
is advisable. therefore to give more
than a cursory glance at the valves,
when n is having trouble with the
accelerator.
