SHAM BATTLE
To BE a Feature Of the Confederate
Veterans Reunion In Birm.
lngham, Ala.

Birmingham, Ala, April IA
sham battle, on one side members of
the Alabama National Guard, and on
the other Confederate veterans from
Texas, is one of the interesting and
unique features to be staged during
the Confederate Veterans reunion in
Birmingham May 16, II and IS.
The sham battle will be fought with
all the details carefully mapped out,
and it will be extremely realistic. 1t
will be staged at the Alabama state
fair grounds May Is, where Birming-
ham expects to entertain 5000 veter-
ans of the great conflict. The SOL
diers on either side will be carefully
drilled and there will be eXemplified
tactics in fighting that General Per-
shing of Mexican fame, may be inter-
ested to learn about if not actually
witness.
To perfect arrangements for this in
teresting and unique event, Captain G.
Holland of Fort Worth, Tex, visited
Birmingham April 3. He was in con-
ference with General John G. Smith OF
Birmingham, and Major Carl Seals Of
the Alabama National Guard. They
inspected the proposed battle ground,
and announced that the fight would
take place during the reunion. Cap
tain Holland was the bearer of the
challenge from the Texas Confeder-
ates and the fighting guardsmen could
not find way to refuse the offered
fight from Texas.

LEARN TO DECIDE QUICKLY.

In the April American Magazine is
the story of the successful business
man who attributes his success largely
to his faculty for making quick deci-
sions.
Once decided, you ought not to
waste time. If man decides rightly,
then he has a running start on rivals
who hesitate. If he decides wrongly,
then he has discovered his blunder,
backed up, and is ready to start on
even terms with the hesitating rival.
for a man of decision can decide he is
wrong as quickly as he can decide he
is right. Also, in a greater number of
cases, the man who decides quickly
may fail to decide the best way, and
still carry ii through to success, and
even convince others he was right all
the time. This has happened to me
many times in cases where there were
a number of ways in which a thing
might be done.
while we blunder inevitably, be-
lieye our batting average is higher
than that of timid ones, and the re-
wards much greater. l do not think
l have 'erred in 10 per cent of my de-
cisions in business. and not in 5 per
cent seriously.
"The great advantage of quick de-
cision lies in the larger rewards that
come 10 those who are bold, for it is
bold to decide vital matters quickly.
The timid and the hesitating get small
profits"

me prompt relief"

HOUSE FAVORED FLAT REPEAL
OF SUGAR CLAUSE.

Washington, April 1.-THE House
agreed upon a fiat repeal of the free
sugar clause. The Democrats of the
Senate in caucus decided to amend
this and instead of fiat repeal, rec
commended that the existing duty Of n
cent pound on sugar should be ex-
tended until May 1, 1920. Louisiana
Democratic Senators were much OPP
posed to this plan. insisting that it
would not restore confidence among
sugar growers.
Senators Broussard and Ransdell o.
Louisiana will make an effort to re-
store the House resolution. This is
doomed to failure in the Senate, how
ever, and the fight will be continued
in conference. Republican Senators
indicated that there would be little
difficulty insofar as they were con-
cerned in reaching vote on the Issue
within two days
Senator Smoot, ranking Republican
member of the finance committee, as
sured Senator Simmons that the Re-
publicans were anxious for the repeal
to be enacted into law.

SNOW DID NOT HARM FRUIT
TREES.
Lexington Leader.)

Lexington Leader.)
No harm to fruit trees, which were
on the point of budding, resulted from
the heavy snow, according TO II. F.
Hillenmeyer, the widely known nur-
seryman and weather observer, who
was interviewed Saturday by a Lead
er representative.
THE danger, if any," said Mr.. Hill
lenmeyer, will come Sunday night, if
the mercury drops below freezing
point to any extent. | do not look for
clearing weather before Sunday, and
then the temperature will probably
drop below the freezing point, accom-
panied by frost The branches and
buds of the trees are soaked with
water and a severe freeze would have
a tendency to injure them. | am hope
full, however, that the drop in tenn
perature will not be so marked that
any serious harm to this years pros
pect of a good fruit year will follow"
Indulglng in "reminiscences prompt
ed by the present heavy snowfall,
Mr.. Hillenmeyer said;
Inv lew of the unusual snowfall
that now covers the earth it may be of
interest to say that in the past thir-
ty-six years snow has fallen in vari-
able amounts thirteen times in April
These precipitatiOns have been a COM
bined mixture of rain, sleet and snow.
THE greatest April snowfall on rec
ord in central Kentucky occurred on
April 10, 20, q and %, 1901.
THE depth on the 18th was some
four inches, and this depth was main
tanned by the sharp precipitation of
the three following days.
1.-THE vileness of the slush and the
misery of man and beast is a painful
memory.
During the month of May covering
the same thirty-siH year period. snow
has fallen five times. the precipitation
on the night of May 1920, 1894, being
by far the greatest. The season has
been favorable, strawberries in abund-
ance were ripe and all trees, even the
locust, were in full leaf. Tender nurs-
lings, crowned with a proud canopy
of leaves. barred their heads under the
weight of the snow with a modesty
which the violet might envy. And
thus was established a precedent
which may never be repeated"

The dissatisfaction of the railroad
companies in the United States with
the payments made to them by the
government for mail haulage, is as
nothing compared to the attitude Of
the British railroad companies. The
British postofIice department dlscov-
cred that for short haulage, up to
about 1875 miles, the motor truck or
tractor is far cheaper and better than
the railway. For this reason the great
bulk Of British mail transfer is now
made with motor trucks. The railroads
are allowed to handle only the "un-
profitable end" OF the mail haulage-
the whole system resulting in a tech
nical profit" for the postofilCe depart
ment. The contract between the Brit
ish government and the railway COM
panies provides for fiat rate, for both
long and short hauls, with the profit
able operation on short hauls only
AS, however no provision was made in
it for the installation of motor trucks
by the department, the railroads are
powerless to prevent this practice, and
must continue to haul mail at loss
for long distances.

FIRST DOSE ENDS INDIGESTION,
HEARTBURN, OR GAS ON
STOMACH.

The question as to how long you
are going to continue a sufferer from
indigestion, dyspepsia or out-of-order
stomach is merely a matter of how
soon you begin taking Tonoline Tabs.
People with weak stomachs should
take Tonoline Tablets occasionally,
and there will be no more indiges-
ton, no feeling like a lump of lead In
the stomach, no heartburn, sour ris-
ings, gas on stomach, or belching of
undigested food, headaches, dizziness
or sick stomach; and besides, what
you eat will not ferment and poison
your breath with nauseous odors. All
these symptoms resulting from
sour, out-of-order stomach and dys-
pepsia are generally relieved five min
yates after taking Tonolne Tablets.
Go to your druggist and get 81
box of Tonoline Tablets and you will
always go to the table with a hearty
appetite, and what you eat will taste
good, because your stomach and intes-
tines will be clean and fresh, and you
will know there are not going to be
any more bad nights and miserable
days for you. Tonoline Tabs freshen
you and make you feel like life is
worth living.

economic design to further the spread or population and civilization that gold has been scattered broadcast over the earth, Go be found in due time by man. Looking back on the large western movement of popula- ton during the last century. we find that the discovery of new gold fields was the prime incentive of that great march; the news of new finds spread far and near; the gold fever took possession Of the people. and the onrush to the new diggings in the wilderness began. The early pioneers Of the West entertained no intention of settling there: they were bent solely on exploiting new fields and afterwards returning to their homes with their quickly gained wealth to a life of ease among their old neighbors. Disappointment. ney- ertheless. was always in store for but few were destined to realize the fruition of their dreams So they stayed in the new country and. many of them. tiring soon of the uncertain fortunes of mining. began 10 take stock Of their surroundings and their new country, and soon the wilderness became studded with smN. ing hamlets and happy homes. Other resources than mining were develop ed. new industries established and the country begcn 10 grow and pros. per. This was the situation in Cali fornia in Colorado. in Montana and other States of the West. and this history is repeating itself in Alaska.
 Not so many years since it was confidentially asserted that if AL aska had any value it was confined solely to placer mines. and when these were worked out and the gold exhausted all the people would leave the country, and it would revert to primal conditions. The same cry was heard in the early days of California and elsewhere. and as it has proved itself wrong there. SO has it proved itself wrcng in Alaska. Lcng before an ounce Of gold had been produced from the soil of Alaska its fisheries had yielded much wealth. Witness the fur seal and whale fisheries. salmon and cod fisheries Many mil lions of dollars have Pacific Coast merchants and others taken from these sources without even making or giving a single permanent inn proyement in this Territory It was contrary to their policies to encour- age and establish settlement in Alas ka.
