Died April 8, 1914 at her home 10
Ordway after suffering three long
weeks OF Intense pain.
Dear little Ruth was a sweet, affec
tionate child and will be missed by
all who knew her. She was ever
ready and willing to help in the Sun
day school, the home or any place she
was asked.
Through the long dark nights Of
pain the little voice could be heard
praying, "Our Father who art in
heaven" and never falling to ask God
to help her and to bless the papa and
mamma. and all the dear brothers and
sisters. to keep them from all harm
aud danger.
After the first week the little mind
was clear and remained so until the
Heavenly Father called her home.
Our spirits rose; we thought twas
Gods will to restore her, but not so.
We humbly bow and say Gods will be
done. She made brave fight and
gained a victory. Our loss Is her gain.
IT'S spring time on earth,
The birds seem so glad.

Our hearts are 50 sad.

Why God in his wisdom
Took our dear Ruth away.

Pink Meats Stand
On Own Merits

AT meeting OF tine crowley COun.
ty Cantaloupe and Produce associa-
tion held last Saturday afternoon, the
second meeting OF the week, the Ques-
tion of a label was reconsidered and
uniform label, with some changes
over the one previously agreed on, was
adopted.
The label as will be used this season
is uniform for all the growers and
shippers. although some of the com.
mission houses object to uniform la
bel. The change made In the label
was the elimination OF the words. "1n
the Rocky Ford district" This was
agreed on at meeting held on Tues
day OF last week, those in favor Of IL
contendiug that 1t would very mate
rally aid 10 the sale of the Crowley
county melon.
However, after many Of them had
studied over the condition OF affairs
they began to be OF the opinion that
as Crowley county was the original
pink meat district, and had far bet
ter melon than the original Rocky
Ford white meat, 1t was not good
business to tack the name Rocky Ford
to the labels used here. There we're
many who also argued that 10 doing
SO IL would even be handicap, 10
that the Rocky Ford district proper
was endeavoring to raise pink meat
melon and was failing to get a canta-
loupe that was any where near as good
as the pink meats raised on the north
side OF the river. With their melons
going to the markets as pink meats IL
would jeopardize the originals from
this side OF the river. After the ar
guments were made, most OF Those In
attendance expressing their opinion,
IL was voted by large majority TO
put Crowley county before the entire
country as the pink meat melon dis
trict, the whole TO be entirely iDde-
pendent OF Rocky Ford.
The commission firms of s. A. Ger.
rard & Co. and Crutchtield s. Wool
folk favor uniform label In 50 far as
tne sssoct4tsapH Hsroscerned. bas tsis
their conteotiOn that each shipper
shunld have his Individual brand that
he may advertise and push his own
brand OF the pink meat cantaloupes.
Gerrards sent long message to their
representative, +. E. HOsler, OppOs-
ing the elimination Of the individual
brand idea. They say their Pink Queen
brand Is known from coast to coast
and that the growers would benefit as
we'll as they with the brand idea.
They say In their message: 1T will
mean at least one cent per crate, 81 to
Ss per car, and about Is 600 for the
season to the growers on what we will
ship II allowed the brand"
The japanese growers held meet
ing Sunday aud adopted the label as
agreed on by the association, provid
Ing their shipper would be allowed
the right TO put their brand label on
the other end OF the crate, although
they regret that IL Is not to be allowed
ou the local label proper.
The notice of the bond of Amicon
company which had been approved,
was ordered published.

MANY INCOME TAX
RETURNS INCORRECT
SAYS THE COLLECTOR
Will Have to Be Refiled Be-
fore March l to Avoid
acknowledgements
Are Slow

That about one-thrd of the Income
tax returns forwarded to the internal
revenue collector are defective is the
statement of JOHN d. McNeel They
will have to be refiled before March l
to avoid trouble with the department.
From zoo to 800 returns are being re-
eeived daily by the collector and many
mistakes have been made In making the
returns.
Under the rules of the department at
Washington 1t is against the law for
the internal tax collector to receive
personal checks, yet many of the per
sons liable have sent in personal checks.
in payment of the income tax. These
will have to be returned to the senders
and II is causing much delay in the tax
collectors office. The printed form
give instructions plainly about this
matter Mr.. McNeel states the amount
of the tax should be sent either BY
exchange or postal money order.
The payment of the income tax is
progressing slowly, although many ap-
plications for the blanks to be iiled
out have been made. 1t is expected
that between 100000 and 100000 will
be collected by Mr.. McNeel by March |.

PrOgress-Secures Number of

Eugene Fies, president of the South

returned yesterday from Florida. where
he secured some additional contracts
In that state for asphalt paving. The

secured by the local company.
Florida Is prospecting wonderfully"
he said yesterday "The people of that
state have undertaken number of
progressive steps and they have ac-
complished wonders during the past
few years. The outlook there is very
good, indeed. The consideration that
our company receives from the hands
of the city officials of various Florida
cities and the citizens generally shows
10 me very clearly that Florida is will
ing to cooperate with Birmingham In
every way. The announcement that
Pensacola had indorsed Birmingham for

RIGHT OF WAY
Alabama Power Company
Station at Spaulding
Completed

It is understood that the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company has
secured it's entire right of way from
spaulding into Birmingham for lines for
electric power which will be secured from
the Alabama Power company. The COM
pany will secure power after the next
few weeks at Spaulding. which is to be
generated at Lock II.
The power secured at Spaulding will be
brought to the city by the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company and
sold by the company to local consumers
In this manner the Alabama Power COM
pany will not be forced to pay local
taxes or secure a local franchise for pow
er sales as the point they deliver the
power to the local company is outside of
the limits of Birmingham.
While no announcement has been made
officially it is understood that the Bir-
mingham Railway, Light and Power COM
pany will offer very material reductions
in the electric rates here. The reductions,
II made will not be SO large as the
proposed by-product gas rates. but will
amount to considerable in the course of
a wear The officials believe the natural
electric power will be ready for connec-
tions here during the next few weeks.
The station of the Alabama Power COM
many at Spaulding is all ready and there
is little to be done by the Birmingham
Railway Light and Power company ex-
cent to bring the lines into this city which
will be done soon.

BUSINESS GOOD
Returns From New York.
L., J. & L. Directors to
Meet in Few Days

NJ Y. Joseph of Loveman, Joseph &
Loeb returned yesterday from New
York, where he presided at meeting of
port that directors had been elected
was true. but that no officers had been
named for the new term. He announced
informally that call for a meeting of
directors would be issued today, and
that the meeting of the election of Of
ficers for the firm would be held during
the next few days
Mr. Joseph said that no announce
ment as to the contemplated improve
ments of the firm would be made un-
til the directors had met, elected Off
GERS. and authorized a statement 1t
has been rumored that the firm will
not make the addition to the building
this year, but will announce rather ex-
tenisve improvements in the store.
Business here has been very good
from reports / have received" said Mr.
Joseph. People in New York are more
cheerful and the outlook is good. Busi-
ness depends upon sentiment. When
people get to feeling good they start
to buying goods. When they feel blue
they do not enter markets. So you
see sentiment has all to do with it, 1
have been impressed very much with
revival of sentiment in this direction
and believe that the outlook Is indeed
hopeful
Leo Loeb, also of Loeman. Joseph &
Loeb has returned from New York He
was reelected director of the firm
by the stockholders. He was also op-
timistic. Mr.. Loeb visited Louisville
for few days, where Mrs. Loeb is
spending a few days with Leo Loeb. Jr.
