by is a booth at which the populace may
 purchase nails-iron. silver or gold nails
 according to the fatness of purse of the
 purchaser. A hammer is loaned. and a purchased nail is driven into the effigy
 Thus, in time, the wooden image assumes
 the appearance of metal, and the govern
 ment profits handsomely from the sale of | the nails.
 This fostering of patriotic sentiment
 and national gratitude and turning it to
 financial profit may be considered an ex- ample of German efficiency. Nothing is
 wasted in this time of pressing need. Tur-
 nips are made to grow between the rail-
 road ties. potato peelings are collected and made into industrial alcohol, nitro gen is stolen from the air and turned into gunpowder And now patriotic enthus- iasm, by means of effigies and nails, is turned to practical account.
 '"The Chicago slaughter house barons
 who utilize every part of the pig except it's squeal.' have long stood as the bright est exemplars of efficiency in America. Germany at present they would find some highly desirable use for the squeal."
 Now this all sounds plausible. economic and patriotic, and presume in the main Is true. but the reference to the loss of the pigs squeal by the packers of Chi cago is not correct. At Chicago and Kansas City. in which cities I happened to be several years ago, and while so- journing, and especially at the latter v,Io vfu are wonderful places to those of us who have not been accustomed to them. noticed in slaughtering the pigs. they lost absolutely nothing, not even the squeal as suggested above. They had it arranged so that the pigs in making their dying sQueals would make them into a phono- graph These squealing photographs were then sold to the Alabama farmers on the "extortion plan at fancy prices, who were not familiar with pigs or their squeals. and for years and years the only pig squeal music the Alabama farm CTS had the pleasure of hearing was the dying squeal of the western hog as repro duced by these squealing phonographs. This dying pigs squeal was squealing for the southern farmers "hard-earned dol- lar" that he had made raising 'all cot tom at an average price of or 6 cents per pound; and 1t got it to the depletion of the south and the enrichment of the west
 Today there is being arranged new order of things. a new south Is being moulded and created. The farmer no longer likes the reproduced pigs squeal; he likes the real squeal by a real pig home grown.
 This western hog is, in reality suuealinp his last dying squeal that is falling on deaf ears, as 'tis no longer sweet music to the south. "So mote it be-" H. H. THOMS.

MUST HAVE HEARING .ON RATE INCREASES
Railroad Commission Will Probably Fix Date at It's
 Meeting October 4

Montgomery, September 21-(Spe- cial filed by railroads en- tering the Birmingham district pro- posing increases in rates on raw ma terials for the furnaces and steel plants of north Alabama have not been ap- proved by the state railroad commits sion. according to an announcement made this afternoon by Atticus Mullin, secretary to the commission.
 At the next regular meeting of the commission October 4, the cases will probably be set down for hearing. Ten days notice is required in such cases and should the railroads persist in their efforts to raise these rates, a legal battle will be fought before the railroad commission. The proposed new tariffs include all materials that enter into the manufacture of pig iron including coal. iron ore of all grades, fuxing material and coke.
 The tariffs filed by the carriers in crease the rates on these materials about 20 per cent, a heavy burden, 1t is claimed, on the manufacturing in dustries.
