THE VILLAGE THAT WENT TO SEED
 BECAUSE ITS ClTEZEHS COULDN'T GET NEXT

once upon a time there was thriv- ing village away out on the fringe which fell into a state of innocuous desuetude because the business inter- ests had, by unanimous consent set tied down to let the oats grow on theii cerebellum and so failed to see the golden opportunity when 1t tangoed by the door
 The burg owed it's existence to the fact that bunch of gazabo's who were wise enough to grasp the idea that the only way to get anything was to hustle out and look for it had hiked out into the wilderness in an effort to find something worth while.
 The motto of these hicks was: You must get somewhere if you only keep going so, having large stock of hope and loads of endura nee, they took some large bundles on their backs and started out to get what they wanted
 The country was still in the milk teeth stage with plenty of room to To- cate and, true to the wise old maxim, they landed on the soft spot with both feet but not until they had taken the thirty third degree in the college of hard knocks and been up against all sorts of difficulties and discourage ments
 Anyway they collected the collateral and things looked bright and rosy so they gave the glad news to the publicity bureaus and the hoi polloi came on the double quick to grasp a chunk of the good thing
 Most of the bunch touted themselves for wise guys and after lamping the landscape for awhile they figured that there couldn't be anything doing in a country where there was nobody but Eskimos and miners, so they hit the hasheries
 There were, however, a few nifty ginks who camped on the best looking sections and set their think mills to work and in a short time had built a modest village and were busy collect ing the dinero from the miners and other people who did things.
 For time the going was dead easy and everybody was so busy collecting the iron men that opportunity grew lonesome trying to find someone who was not too much occupied to stop and have a look at his miscellaneous wares. But, after a time the nifty ginks got wise to the fact that there was some thing wrong with the works so, after giving the situation the once over they quietly packed up the large wads of the rhino they had segregated and de- parted in search of orange groves and joy rides for they opined that the best time to pick cherries is not to wait until they have reached the passe stage. Anyway, they departed for the lobsted salad routes singing a gay little

You can't tell what a person will do when he starts out looking for pleasure Besides fl won't do any harm to tout your wares especially when you have a rare and curious display Those einls had the idea aIl right but the cruel blows of fate had knocked all the ambish out of the business interests and they had throat from houerine. that their only response To the oracular utteranoce of the optomistic nuts was low prum- ble of discontent
 The nuts then concluded to try the enthusiasm stunt on the Chamber of Commerce. which met every little while 10 decide Who was Who but the only mutual help they received was a statement that the present condition If the country was due to the unreason- ing perVersity of the laborine classes who had put the mufflers oh everything by constantly aeitatme for less labor and more pay and as prospective in Vestors did not approve of such con- duet if wa no use to try 10 do anything as long as they were here" Well they carried the optomistie nuts away on a shutter and it was so late in the fall before they came to. that he great army of tourists who had flooded every other section. greatly to the benefit of the populace thereof. had returned ro their accustomed hannts and so the
 neelfsh lahors of the optomistic nuts were swallowed mp in the mists toge- ther with many another likely project that slid off the sltids before it could hit the water The nuts never re- covered entirely and speedily made their getaway in search of place where there was mental nplift in good working order but the business in terests continued to subside until only an occasional snore showed that they wore still on the job Later on because of il scarcity of coal without which old Jack Frost would have started eviction proeeedines they took the water wagon for parts unknown, still murmurtne peeVishly Whats the use"

 muckers raised an awful holer of course but, as the business interests backed up the CTS they had to content themselves with making an awful fuss by striking and doing other foolish things.
 However. while this method of rais- ing the wind was satisfactory to every body at first. except the muckers, it did not help in the development of the latent resources and it was not long before there was yelp from the busi- ness interests that business was going down and the rough necks were not spending near as much dough as the, used to. It didn't occur to them that they had something to do with this state of affairs, so they continued to squeal and wonder why the miners did not get in and do something for the good of the country The consensus of opinion among them at this time was that it was time to move but, none seemed to be able to show them a nice green pasture, they consoled themselves by cussing the weather and looking for Someone to get Busy.

LADY INJURED WHEN AUTOMOBILE
 HITS HER BUGGY

Columbus, Mss. August s0.-tspeciai) Mrs. Sarah ]. Dohbs was painfully and probably fatally injured here last night when an automobile driven by Robert Hardy colllded with her buggy at the in- tersection of South Forth street and Sev- enth avenue.
 In the buggy with Mrs Dobbs at the time of the accident were her two sons. Newton and Lewis. both of whom es- caped without injury. The former jur,pcd from the vehicle while the other remained and miraculously escaped injury. Mrs Dobbs sustained severe injuries about the back and a badly sprained ankle. Physi- clans fear that internal injuries may rem der her condition more or less dangerous j.
 There is no light at the corner where the accident occurred. and shade trees clothed the scene in darkness. For this reason MT Hardy could not sec the buggy and the accident Is said to have been unavoidable This is tho first serious an- tomobile accident that has occurred in Co. lumhus.

MUD BALL" RULED
 LEGAL BY BAUGH
No Rule Ever Passed by the National Commission
 Ruling It Out

The protest of Johnny Dobbs over the use of the mud ball'' is not seriously re- garded by President Robert H. Baugh of the Southern league on the grounds that no rule has ever been passed by the na- tional baseball commission barring 1t from organized baseball.
 The protest came about when Clark, pitcher for the I-ookouts, used the mud balr against the Pelicans last week. He won his game to l. President Baugh stated that he will place the protest be- fore the league directors at their next meeting, but that nothing would likely be done as to ruling it out.
 The mud ball" in some respects is like the famous emery ball' that put Russell Ford into fame. Wet mud is placed on the ball. and 1t has the simi lar effect as the emery ball. The an nouncement will probably mean thai other pitchers in the circuit will taks up the newly acquired ball.
 Before making his decision. President Baugh wired Secretary Farrell of thu national commission and received his au thority on the subject. Farrell wiret back that no ruling had ever been passed but that it was allowed in the Fedora league.

 GET $5O,OO0 FROM
 THEFORDCOMPA ANY
Plum City Draws in Profit Sharing Plan-Distribu- tiOn Checks to Be COm- ;
 pleted September 6

Blaine Brownell of the Brownell Auto
 company, distributors for the Ford car.
 is happy.
 The company which Mir. Brownells s
 firm represents is now engaged in dis-
 tributing sOooo0 checks for $50 each as a part of it's profit sharing plan, this amount being a rebate on all Ford cars purchased between August l, 1914, and August 1. 1915. Something like 1000 resi- dents of Birmingham and Jefferson county will receive one of these checks. Therefore, Mir. Brownel is happy. An aggregate of sl5,0o0oo0 will be dis tributed by the Ford company. Of this amount approximately s5o,0O0 will be placed in the Birmingham district. ac- cording to MT. Brownell.
 Mir Brownel said yesterday that the work of mailing the checks probably | would be completed about September l5. l They are going out at the rate of 10000 ! day. Five checks are signed with one I operation of the pen and a corps of stenographers are kept busy all day long with the work of filling in the names. | Ford owners in Birmingham are specu- l lating as to what they will do with the money they will get as a dividend on | their investment in Ford. Many of | them will use it to improve theiI cars. Electric lighting and starting systems will be installed, or maybe the automo- 1 bile will be overhauled, or Q new tol l put on Many of the Ford owners will place tho $50 on their savings account al the bank, while to all-corporations and l individuals alike-the dividend will be ar extremely "comfortable' thing to have 1 around.
 As far as possible the cheeks are being l mailed to the owners in the same or | der as the cars were purchased, accord l ing to Mr Brownell. He says the frs check was mailed to Genevieve Morrison I of Fl Paso, Tex, who bought cal l August l, 1915. MT. Brownell says there is a very large number of women on thu list of beneficiaries
 Ford checks will be mailed to all sort of businesses and professions and trades all walks of life being represented in tn greatest profit sharing scheme evei de | vised, and the checks of Soa each hav' been likened unto the farmer sowing hi
 grain broadcast.
 Il The whole country will feel the effect
 of it, for $15.ooo.000 Is not small sum
