Taking Summer Comfortably

n ERHAPS nothing in the world
gives a greater proportion of
contentment for the money ex-
pended than a couch hammock. I'm
til one has experienced the luxurious
laziness of an afternoon with a book
in one Of these restful affairs. either
on shady veranda or out under the
trees, it is impossible to imagine the
solid comfort of a modern couch ham,
mock. The firm, fiat mattress sup
ports the body restfully. There Is
none OF that sinking sensation that Is
so disagreeable in an ordinary ham
mock: and one can move about az
will without getting completely out of
the hammock to adjust ones skirts.
These delightful couch hammocks
cost only trifle over Ave dollars and
may be swung between two trees that
are not much more than the length
of the couch apart. II no trees are
available, a strong stand may be Sc
cured for about half the cost OF the
hammock. One may even have lux
urious awning for little more. For
less than II would cost to board for
week at seaside resort one may
own a complete hammock outfit that
on the home porch or in the yard will
be a source of restful content all sum-
mer long.

Choctaw railway that F. l. Derby, whom the Mexicans would, call ''un baron de ganado," has a large herd of cattle. He has around 5000 acres of this cut-over and other lands under fence, and from which he obtains an income that Ed Norman might consider as ample.
 President Allison, who is a practical farmer and cattle man, has several large silos which he fills with corn silage each year, and from which he keeps up cattle enough to buy quite good many of placed on the market and converted into dollars
 MT. Allison appears to feel that by util- izing his cut-over lands for pasture he can derive interest charges or more on his investment in lands, and that as the years go by the land can be parceled out and made attractive to natives, and his idea seems to be working out. for very few of the young people in that section are moving away. I met a well set-up young fellow named Edwards today, who seemed entirely content to take his chances on amassing a competency in old Choctaw rather than making a bee line for Texas or some city like Birrning- ham, where competition is fearfully keen

 rather think Commissioner Arlie Barber would be happy down here for he might find one man and one concern that did not attempt any taX-dodging, but whose property is assessed at full valuations. And being of socialistic in- clination it might interest him to see a plan that smacks of socialism in it's treatment of labor, work with such ease and fairness.
 Colonel Aldrich might enjoy a trip down here; the colonel could not sit on the bank of a stream and angle for fish and dream of the day when Justice Hughes would accept the nomination, but he could get a shot at some wild tur- keys, a deer or two, and that might solace him for the refusal or declination of Hughes to be the man who will go down in defeat before the great demo- cratic apostle of peace, preparedness and prosperity.

Those who are sick are not admitted to any in- in the state, and yet it Is con- tended that consumption may be cured here as well as in Texas or Colorado by observing certain rules as to sleep ing and diet.

 Governor Brewer has appointed Roland Heidelberg of Shubuta as the successor of Judge w. w. Venable of Meridian, who was recently elected congressman from the Fifth district as successor of the late MT. Witherspoon. The resigna- ton of MT. Venable as circuit judge reached the governor today and MT Hei- delberg was named for the succession shortly thereafter, having already been determined on.
 The new judge is son of D. w. Heidelberg, author of 'Heidelberg's De- lght.' a little volume that is found on the desk of every lawyer in the state, and which is most valuable as a guide iii making out all kinds of forms of legal instruments. He is 29 years of age and married, is a graduate of Mill saps college and has been practicing law seven or eight years, during which time he has made an enviable record.
 MT. Heidelberg holds office until March ', for which date special election has been ordered. The new judge will hold his first court at Waynesboro next Mon day.

New York, January 9.-(Special0 Dwight Morrow, unless something now unforeseen prevents, will speak to the As sociated Bankers of New York at their annual banquet this week. Two besides MT. Morrow will make the formal ad- dresses The Associated Bankers will meet prepared for such congratulations as may be offered. A year ago there was little opportunity for congratuia- tions upon the achievement of the bank CTS in the year 1914. Then it was a sea son of hope and of promise This oc- casion comes after 12 months of brilliant performances
 Mir Morrow was invited to make one of the three formal addresses because New York bankers knew how intimate has been his association with some of the transactions unparalleled as they were in the amount of money involved and in the discretion and sagacity needed in order to maintain the expectations of England and France, when the house of J. P. Morgan 6 Co. was chosen as the commercial agent in the United States of these nations.
 MT. Morrow was until a few days ago the junior partner in this house. He came to it from the law firm with which for some years the former speaker of the national House of Representative was identified after he returned from public life and began practicing law in New York. This law firm has often been called ''the conscience of Wall street." and it was in the spirit that that description inn plies that MT. Morrow has carried on his own appropriate part in the transactions

Stettinius, who has with such mas tsrly skill directed the transactions of the commercial agencies of England and France which J. F. Morgan & Co. as sumed has won a higher triumph than any pecuniary gains he could have made in association with these transactions. In England the leaders know that J. P. Morgan & Co. and each of the partners have refrained from taking any part either financial or as Organizers-in any corporation with which this commercial agency has had dealings. The house did have some comparatively small interest in one or two industries before the Euro pean war began, but in no case has it dealt with any of those industries, so far as purchases with the allies are con cerned, without having stated to England and France what that interest is, and leaving it to those two nations to say there should be any transactions with

Mr. Walton was hurt in a runaway acci- dent and has been confined to his bed therefore being unable to make his of- ficial report
 Politics in Butler county has begun to grow very warm. Announcements for county offices are being made in the county newspapers, and to this num- Der most every issue additional announce mentS are noticed.
 The race for county offices and for Congress from this district will be the most interesting ones and these are the cause of much comment about public buildings and on street corners.
 The race for probate judge promises to be the liveliest of the county races.

oUIs J. ADLER, president of the

OUIS J. ADLER, president of the
 Alabama Travellers association 4--s arrived in Birmingham from Mo bile Saturday, bubbling over with enthu- 'siasm about the Alabama Travellers asso- citation and it's work. And MT. Adler has good reason to feel proud of the organ izstion of which he is president, for it has set out to accomplish wonderful things for travelling men and also the general public. It is not an association for the mealy-mouthed, for it believes in going after what it wants in smashing fashion that gets results.
 The Alabama Travellers association is member of the National Good Roads association and a member of the Ala bama Good Roads association. It believes ir good roads and is working for them. This year the association will cooperate with the state illiteracy commission and the anti-tuberculosis commission, for it be- lieves that these are vital to the welfare of the state.
 MT. Adler spoke glowingly of the re- association in Mobile.
 There were about 300 of the best sales men in the state at that meeting,'' he said, enthusiastically, and when we meet in Birmingham we are going to have 800 present. The past year has not been a year of what could be strictly termed hard times Most of the statesmen have found business good. Times now are get ting better and the outlook for future
  years. The people appear to have money and seem to be willing to spend it. This means that the traveling man will come into his own"
 MT. Adler will preside at the meeting of the Alabama Travellers association in Birmingham This meeting will be held at least 30 days prior to July l. The exact date will be given in The Age-Herald as soon as it is decided upon by the ex- ecutive committee.
 At the meeting in Mobile January the travellers captured the city. They formed a parade New Years Eve night which was headed by a brass band of 14 pieces. They had dinner at Cawthon hotel, and then, with the brass band at the head, proceeded to march through every hotel in the city, and they se- cured recognition everywhere they stopped. It was a glorious night, and the travellers enjoyed every minute of it.
 MT. Adler was the recipient of a beau- tiful gold watch from the members of the Alabama Travellers association New Years Day. It has the A. T. A. mono gram on it, together with the date, and is highly prized by him. It was a beau tiful tribute to his work Tn the organiza- ton, and, as a further evidence of their appreciation of his services and of their esteem of the man, the members of the Alabama Travellers association revised their bylaws and constitution and re- elected him president of the association, despite his protests.

That record is perfect, and some day when the war is ended the committee of Parliament which will in vestigate the conduct of the war will have before it a statement of the expen- ditures of money by the Morgan house showing where, how and when these ex- penditures were made The opportuni- ties for any one who was not dominated by a sense of duty and honorable oblga- tion to make great sums of money through these transactions were unsur- passed.

ROCKEFELLER'S WEALTH

The amazing summary recently made by the Wall Street Journal, which shows the increase in the values of some of the properties which the old Standard Oil company held before it was dissolved by the federal courts has caused renewed reference to the aggregate fortune of John D. Rockefeller. Before the old Standard Oil company was dissolved those who could make a fairly good esti- mate felt safe in saying that MT. Rocke- feller had accumulated at least S1 00O 0OO, . 900. The Wall Street Journals disclos- ure of the increase of wealth which came to him by reason of the dissolution of the Standard Oil company would justify the statement that Mr. Rockefeller is now in possession of at least S1, ,250. .OOO. .O0O It IS not this accumulation. however which chiefly engrosses MT. Rockefellers at tention. Instead, he is absorbed in try ing to find out how he can wisely re- turn some part of that fortune to the people. He has been gratified beyond measure with the results secured by the experts who have made researches in the Rockefeller institute. Large as his gifts and endowments have been, they cannot have cut deeply into his fortune. Some of his friends think that it would be im- possible for MT. Rockefeller accuratelv to state on any given day or any given month exactly what his wealth is because iiiS ibtcfeSlS are SO many and va red.

PRIVATE FUNDS COMING

One of the topics which is likely and in a neighborly way to be discussed by these bankers relates to the magnitude of the current which is bearing private funds to the United States. Little has ben said about this movement of funds. Not much can be said about it, excepting that bankers who are well informed say that from other lands private funds, the aggregate of which is very large, have for sometime been coming to the United States, principally because this country is looked upon as a place of safety for these funds. They have contributed in no small measure to the heavy increases of de- pOSitS in OUT banks
