MAY HAVE TO FIGHT

The three visiting congressman may have to fight vigorously to retain berths in the service of the nation. The legis- lature when 1t redistricted the state, automatically put Dr. Abercrombie be- fore the people as a candidate. 1t is believed that he will enter the big race for the senate two years hence when John 1T. Bankhead. Frank s. White. Ray Rushton and others will pit their strength against each other.
 MT. Blackmon has announced opposi- ton in 1T. M. Judge of Shelby county. a member of the. legislature. It is said that MT. Hefin will have opposition. and the name of George Sorrell of Tal- lapoosa, also a member of the iegis- lature has been mentioned. But MT. SorrelI has not made 8 statement re- garding his plans for the future.
 Another we'll known visitor to Bir- mingham yesterday was & B. Lloyd of DeKalb county, a brother of Will Lloyd, secretary of the city commits sion.
 The visitor is prosperous merchant and farmer. and is a member, through the appointment of the state board of equalization, of his county board of equalization.

Lloyd, "that the appointee of the state and the appointee of the county board or revenue shall get together and name, if possible, the third member. who shall be chairman; and thatif the two cannot agree on the third, the governor shall be authorized to name the chairman.

 Congressman Blackmon does not am ticipate a break between the President and Leader Kitchin. or any other demo- crat He stated yesterday that all men differ sometimes, but that there was little danger of the differences between MT. Wilson and MT. Kitchin reaching an acute stage. He also expressed the view thaat the Presidents plan regard ing praparedness would be accepted by both branches of Congress.
 "I am very much interested in The Age-Herald story of this morning. he added, which told of the probability of Anniston acquiring an electrical fur, mace for the manufacture of steel shells, and finished products of other natures and varieties. When the proposition was put to the people of AnnistOn, with their accustomed spirit, they rallied to the emergency and subscribed $100,000 to- wards the purchase of stock in the pro- posed enterprise. Should anything pre- vent the fulfillment of the plans, An niston will certainly not be held to blame.
 q am inclined to believe, however. that the scheme will be put through At the persent time, practically every plant in the United States which is ca pablo of making munitions of war, Is on or near the coast, and therefore with in easy reach of enemies. The govern .ment, I am inclined to believe. would look with especial favor on the loca- tion in Alabama of munitions plant It would be in furtherance of the idea which prevsils that the United States, to reasonable extent, at least, must prepare itself for future emergency"

 In lss2 Mr Larned purchased the Bimon stock farm ln Pomifet, which he greatly improved in his thrifty en- ergetic manner, being whut the cuun- try calls today, an intensive, scientific farmer, and he was considered to have one of the finest and best known gen. eral farms in Eastern Connecticut.
 In his adopted town his ability was again recognized and he was called upon to fill the offices of selectman, as- sessor and justice of the peace. In 1912 his health became impaired and he became unlltted to carry on his res. possibilities and he disposed oi tue farm and removed to Putnam.

The squash vine borer lives largely
upon the squash and pumpkin. but Is

which accumulates on the ground be

and die down. and unless the borers
are cut out OF the vines the chances
are that the vines will be killed. The
presence Of the borers in the stems
causes a natural rotting at the af-
fected points and the stems become
severed from the root.
The larva are known 10 bore

the base OF the leaves, and through
the leaf stalks. In fact the young
larve may be found In the larger
veins of the leaves and frequently
in the vegetables themselves. The

An attractive use for the peony is
low, ornamental lawn hedging. This
of course applies where only orna-
ment and not defence is required. The
dark. glossy green foliage, untouched
by disease or insects. Is exceedingly
attractive through the spring and hot
summer months.
And the cost. too. in some OF the
most desirable low priced sorts will
prove quite moderate, since the plants
for this purpose may be set "a to 3

srowths appear above ground and

The plants make no further growth

ground about them stirred and free
from weeds. and water need be applied
only when the ground is quite dry.
