Inis strain and now ne had to pay
an average of $500 per fead for
cows for James j. Hill, president
OF the Great Northern railway.
He told of herds that averaged
from 5000 to 5000 pounds of
milk per COW per year and how
these milking Shorthorns produce
calves that, when fattened for
beef, have made as high as 1900
pounds in weight at four years
of age. He said he did not look
for any drop in the prices of
meat and dairy products for sew
eral years to come and rather ex-
pected a famine in these articles
if the European war continues
for any length Of time.
Prof. Wilson spoke on alfalfa
culture and its value as forage
plant. He went into details
about its planting, growth and
culture and told of the difficulties
they had met and overcome in
growing alfalfa in western North
Dakota and Montana. He held
that alfalfa can be grown very
successfully here after the farm
ers get their soil innoculated and
expects to see the prairie uevelop
into great alfalfa country with
in the next few years. He an
swered all questions put to him
and from tie nature Of these
questions we predict that several
of our farmers are going to de-
rive much benefit from the visit
of these experts here at this
time. Prof. Wilson is manag-
ing eleven experimental farms
for the Northern Pacific and
should be an authority worthy
of serious consideration.
The meeting closed after Mr..
Arney explained how the rail-
road companies were seeking to
develop future business for their
lines by helping the farmers bet
ter their condition and produce
greater crops and more livestock
on their farms.
The meeting was a very earn
est one and had the weather
been favorable and the roads in
good condition the hall would
have been crowded. AS it was
there were fully $50 persons
present, several ladies being
numbered among the interested
gu litors.
While there are always scoffers
in every meeting of this nature
we believe the majority received
the message in good faith and
that the seed has fallen on good
soil and will bring forth excellent
results in time to come.

Commencement Exercises
Were Fine

On Friday eve last, the high
school and eighth grade gradu-
ates made their bows to a good
sized audience at the I. O. O. F.
hall. The program, which was
mostly musical, consisted first,
of vocal solo by Miss Fannie
McGrew. This number was well
received and many compliments
were paid Miss McGrew for her
excellent rendition of 81 Love
You Truly" The "Waves Of
The Ocean," a piano duet by
Mrs. Minis and Miss Pauline
Betz, likewise brought forth
highly complimentary remarks
from all present.
Rev. Grunewald rendered his
transcription of Where Jesus Is
'Tis Heaven. Mr.. Grunewald
is an accomplished musician and
Cottonwood people always enjoy
his piano playing.
Following this the address by
County Superintendent J. J.
Staley was listened to with close
attention by everyone. Mr.. Sta
ley talked of things educational,
saying among other things that
h e considered an educated
person one who could do things.
1t is the business of the public
school to teach children to do
things and vocational education
is a means to this end. Mr.. Sta
ley is a forceful speaker and his
talk was warmly received.
The Violin duet by Miss Pau
line Betz and DR.. w. F. Orr
clearly demonstrated the talent
these people possess. "The
Flower Song" was surely ap-
preciated.
The closing number, aside from
the song America, was "The
Polish Dance" a piano solo by
Misses Ruby Harvey and E..
Marguerite Reilly. 1t was a
beautiful selection and well
rendered.
The closing remarks by M. M.
Belknap, secretary of the school
board, were directed to the grad
yates. The words were well
chosen and furnished good ad-
vice to the young people before
him.

Fully two and one-half weeks
of steady rain has given this
country more moisture than it
knows what to do with and,
while the fields have soaked up
water like a sponge, fully half
of the rain that fell has run off
through the various streams and
found its way down again to the
ocean. This has been the long
est spell of rainy weather at this
season of the year for the past
fifteen or twenty years and ev-
eryone is wishing for dry, warm
weather in order that grain
fields and gardens may have a
chance to show what they can
accomplish under favorable con-
ditions. The rain has not been
unwelcome but now that it has
accomplished all the good in it's
power no complaints will be reg
istered if the weather man shifts
the scene and allows old Sol to
show his pleasant countenance
for a few weeks.

LARGE ATTENDANCE
 AT WARDE LECTURE
Reads Shakespeare's Rich ard III' to Delight of
 His Hearers

A cultured audience that filled the auditorium of the Central High school to it's capacity greeted Frederick Warde, the distinguished actor author and lecturer, last night, and was given an intellectual treat in the recital with comments of the Shakespearean trag- edy, "Richard III.'' The large audience of last night was decided tribute to the drawing powers of the distin- guished lecturer for it is the fourth time he has appeared before a Birming- ham audience on the lyceum lecture platform, and the cordial reception given him attested his wide popularity.
 Mir. Warde is magnetic and possessed of charming personality which makes his masterly presentation of famous Shakespearean characters particularly pleasing. He ranks with the foremost students of the bard of Avon in the United States and has done much in his long career to remove the mists and shadows that literary scientists have sought to cast around the mem ory of the worlds greatest literary genius and to bring out the wonderful depths of that master mind.
 His interpretation of the ambitious and interruptions Gloucester was markable in that he explained the most striking passages so clearly as to al- most put new construction on one's cherished ideas of the part While in- tensely dramatic in the climaxes, he never overreached himself. At all times master of him mself. he held the closest attention of the audience from the commencement to the close of his re- cital
 Mir. Warde is the last of the great and distinguished group of Shakes pearean actors of several decades ago and was a contemporary of Booth, Bar rett Mccullough. Sullivan and other noted players and delineators, who have all passed away. Despite his long reer before the public his eye is still bright his step still firm, his heart still cheery and his voice still rings true. He occupies a place on the worlds stage that is unique, place of eminence in the study, the stage and the platform And the people of Bir- ming gham showed their appreciation of MT. Warde both by the attendance at the recital last night and the splendid reception that they accorded him.

NECESSITY FOR MORE ECONOMY DISCUSSED
 IN HOUSE OF LORDS
Government Will Exercise Every Means Possible to Secure Greater
 Economy

London. November u-Earl St Aldwin. former chancellor of the exchequer, dur ing the debate on the necessity for great CT economy, which was resumed this evening in the House of Lords, declared were they would be met. He believed the country would find the money, and that there was no reason for faintheartedness in these matters, giving the foes of the nation cause to rejoice but the govern ment was bound to exercise far more than it had yet exercised the means of economizing at it's disposal.
 Earl St Aldwin protested against delay in raising new taxation for the war Large as the increases were which had been made, he said, they were not large enough, especially in regard to indirect taxation.
 Earl St Aldwin added, however, that unless drastic economies were put into effect he did mot think the issue of the war would be as successful as all hoped and intended it should be.
 Baron Sydenham said he had reason to know that the bankers of the country felt strongly that while they had done all in their power to help the treasury. the government had not played it's part in enforcing economy.
 The Duke of Devonshire, civil lord of the admiralty, explained that the ad- miralty was making every effort to pre- serve strict and absolute control over the expenditure and said that a committee had been sent to the Mediterranean to inquire into matters there.
 The Earl of Selborne, president of the board of agriculture, in closing the de- bate, said it was impossible to control the finances of the war office at the pres ent time in the sense suggested with out interfering with the policy of the min ister for war. When they took man like Lord Kitchener at a crisis and placed him in charge of the war office, they must leave him to do his own work in his own way.
 Viscount Peel, having amended his mo- ton to read that Tt is the duty of the government to exercise sfrertive super vision and control of naval and military expenditures this was agreed to-

BANK PRESIDENT
 NOW OFFERS HIS
 OWN TESTIMONY
Says He Can Now Jump on His Horse and Ride Away
 as Good an Anyone

H w Hill. president of one of the leading banking institutions of South Pittsburg. Tenn. was among the visitors to Chattanooga last week MT. Hill is not only one of the most successful bank CTS and business men of Tennessee, but is one of the states most popular citi- zens. He numbers his friends by his acquaintances, and he is well liked for his honesty and integrity. He is especial ly popular in Hamilton county where he was reared and spent the greater part of his life
 While in Chattanooga MT Hill paid a visit to the Tanac representative at the Live and Let Live Drug company, to ex- press his gratitude for the wonderful good he had obtained by the use of the medt- cine. Among other things, MT. Hill said:
 T suffered from rheumatism and other ailments for many years, but this Tanlac went right after my trouble, and l tell You it did me a world of good. The pains which were with me so long have disappeared, and I tell you I can jump on my horse now and ride away as good as anybody. This Tanlac has done me more good than anything l ever tried
 T now wake up in the mornings feel ing fine, and to tell you the truth, since I began taking this medicine l feel well all the time.
 T am telling all my friends about Tan lac, and am recommending it to them re- gardless of their age or trouble, for tell you it has put me in old-time form again"
 Commenting on Mr. Hills statement, MT c. F. Willis, southern distributor of Tanlac, said:
 Rheumatism is not only one of the most prevalent, but one of the most pain ful and difficult to treat of all present day dsea ses. When the digestive organs and bowels are not working properly and the kidneys become clogged up, the whole system becomes deranged and satu- rated with uric acid poisons and other impurities which accumulate in the joints and other parts of the body to produce the condition known as rheumatism
 "Tanlac is powerful reconstructive tonic and it frequently overcomes this condition by acting directly on the vital organs, toning them up and enabling them to perform their proper functions so that the impurities are soon eliminated from the system in a natural way. Liniment and external applications, as a general rule, only afford temporary relief Tan lac is constitutional treatment and gets right at the root of the trouble by re- moving the cause
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope company. In Ensley by D. W. Morris Drug company; in Bessemer, Pegram- Patton Drug com pam in North Birmingham, Walker Drug company; in Pratt City, Gale Drug com- pany; in Fairfield, c. J.

On Speaking Too Low

From the CenturN
 We Americans are of two kinds we either talk too loud or too low, partic- lilarly in public places. A European family will sit down in public without feeling the necessity of putting mute on the voice and retiring as though be- hind wall They are not noisy or gay. they do not tcot on tin horns. but they say what they wish without lowering the tone to that painful depth which we mistake for a cultivated note. Let us Be brave, and be ourselves: for noth- ing can be better than that"

reached here Thursday, declares the submarine gave his vessel no signal to stop. The first sign of the presence of the submarine was shells from a dis tance of five miles, which grazed the steamer. The Ancona stopped dead
 subsequently shells hit the boats which were being made ready for launching and many passengers were killed or wounded on the deck and in the boats. Some of the passengers who had been thrown into the water ap- preached the submarine, but were re- pelled and derided.
 Finally shells and torpedoes were fired at the Ancona from distance of 300 yards
