 1THE Bald Head club of America
 u held it's annual dinner at Hart ford. Conn.,, a few nights ago. In the dining room 150 hairless gentle men assembled together for the pur- nose of electing officers, which was done, and eating their fill of the good things provided, which was also done with gusto.
 Fortunately for the peace and hap piness of this world, man seldom loses his appetite when he loses his hair. If that were so, the quiet of many a happy family circle would be rent in twain. The sort of dyspeptic who finds life bore and apparently tries to make it bore for everybody else. for some unknown reason, us- ually has a good crop of hair. The baldheaded dyspeptic is probably the worst pessimist on earth.
 The members of the Bald Head club dine in mood that is joyful on the surface but there is a note of pathos in the funniest stories told, yearning unexpressed for something lost. As the lights sparkle on their shining crowns and pussyfooted walters hasten to attend their wants, they laugh and are merry. Yet, if any member, in- stead of making the usual after din ner speech, were to get up and grave ly announce that he had discovered a remedy which would grow hair on using that time-worn metaphor-a billiard ball, and as proof of his sheer ity would pay the sum of $10,000 to each and every baldheaded person who did not possess Charley Chaplin mane in six months aftr beginning treatment, the dinner would end right there.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Using office for Politics

During the political campaign now closed with the reelection of Wood row Wilson to the presidency. an at tempt was made by H. N. Pope, presi~ dent of the Texas division of the Farmers union, to line the organiza- ton up for Hughes" said John c. Moses. member of the organization.
 As president of the so-called asso- ciation of state presidents of the union. MT. Pope issued a pamphlet of which 10,0OO,o0O copies were circulated by the national republican campaign committee in which the Adamson eight hour law was bitterly denounced.
 The National Farmers union has but one agency through which it ex- presses itself and that is the nation al convention which meets this week in Palatka, Fla. Just what action the convention, representing 100000 union farmers. will take as to Mir Pope no one knows. but some action will undoubtedly be taken that will prevent the recurrence of any such attempt to use the great organization in the interest of privilege and mon opoly.
 That the millions of union farm pudiated Pope is shown by the mag nificent farmer vote in the west-the vote that defeated organized monopoly and the greatest slush fund ever put into presidential election. The old saying that the farmer is the back bone of the country certainly holds good today. Not only this, but in all future times he will be the unknown quantity in the political world"

Muscle Shoals and
 the Nitrate Plant

M7OTHING could be of such sig IN nal benefit to the south as a whole as the location of the govern ment $20,000,000 nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals While the primary ob- ject of this great project is to pro- vide material in plenty for the mu- nitions of war, the nitrates filched from the air will be used in the man. ufacture of fertilizers in time of peace and what that will mean to the south cannot be overestimated.
 AS the south uses most of the fer tilizer made in this country it would be a mighty boon to have it produced nearby. Every southern state has val uabie natural resources, and some of them varied; but agriculture in most of them predominates. Modern farm ing is adding to the wealth of the south every year, and with cheap fer tilizer such as Muscle Shoals would give us the south's progress would be all the more rapid. Many great enterprises are in prospect for this section; but none of such prodigious moment to the entire cotton belt as the nitrate plant.
 War department experts will de- eide upon the location shortly. Strong organized efforts are being mads to secure the plant for the north. There is no sectionalism involved in the proposition, and the location should be selected on it's merits. Still the community or the section that fails to show itself wideawake in apprecia- tion of the value of the proposed nj trate plant may be overlooked in the award; especially if Dubuque or some other town with large water power makes a well planned drive.

Thanksgiving and
Aid For Sufferers

TIT is not often that a Presidents 4 Thanksgiving proclamation com pines the idea of praise for Gods bounties and an appeal for afflicted humanity, but President Wilson asks the people of this wonderfully pros porous land to remember the sufferers in war-stricken Europe and aid them out of their abundance. There is never a year that America has not a great deal to be thankful for. But some harvests are greater than others, and some years are freer from disease than others.
 It never happens that any Thanks giving's Day comes when there is not some destitution in the large cities. But in no year have there been so few people unemployed as now. As a nation we have never been so blessed as this year and the 30th of November will radiate joy and kindness from one end of the country to the other; and celebrating the great harvest feast men, women and children should make contributions to the war relief funds. Nothing could be so fitting.
 Thanksgiving is ten days off, but it is not too soon for humane people to fix their mind on the charity side of it.

Veteran Circus
 Mam's Requests

Veteran OlTCMS
 Mam's Requests
 TTHE late W. W. Cole, the veteran
 U circus man, who was for num- Der of years partner of P. T. Bar mum, like other enterprising showmen, accumulated a large fortune; but in the number of relatives he left behind he was in class to himself. Although he died at his home in Queens county, New York, on March 10, 1915, the ap- praisal of his estate was only com pleted few days ago. It showed a valuation in excess of $2,000, ,000, which made the state of New York's S share in the fortune in the shape of taxes $sO,OOo.
 MT. Cole left ill his will $550,000 and the use of his estate to his widow, and amounts ranging from $4000 to $1O,OO0 to 70 other relatives. Such a large number of kinspeople remem- bered in the last testament of any man is unusual. It showed that the noted snowman was large-hearted man; for many of his cousins were four or five times removed.
 There was no contest of the will. The widow was satisfied with her por- tion, and, of course, the distant rela- tives were more than satisfied, be- cause they had no right to expect any thing. The smaller legacies were in annuities, but a few suits were brought by heirs of such legacies as have died since MT. Cole passed away. The question raised was whether the annuities should revert to the estate or whether the heirs have just claim. In the surrogate court it was decided that the annuities should revert; but this decision was reversed in the ap- pellate division, and the court of ap- peals of New York now has the case before it. In addition to the bequests
 lade to relatives the actors fund and several other charities received sub stantial sums.
 The older generation of circus goers can recall the time when MT. Cole travelled with the show. He was not known to many of them person. ally or even by sight, as he kept in the background. But when associated with MT. Barnum he did his part in bringing the circus up to the high commercial standing which character izes it today. While MT. Coles philan-
 opy was unostentatious his name will long be honored in the community where he lived and died.

 Not only should the direct benefit derived from the open ear system thus brought about appeal to the farmers but it should be of indirect benefit to them in bringing foreefully home to them that much may be accomplished by united, concentrated effort that can not be accomplished individually or by working al cross purposes.
 During the meetings there were farmers who held aloof and were heard to say that the meetings would amount to nothing. That the hearings wou d be held and that would be the end of il. The successful outcome of the present matter should forever put a quietus on such statements and open the eyes of those inclined to be skeptieal and pessimistic. The force of a large body of determined men united in a specific cause can not be withstood. If they are right they will gain their ends. And oftentimes in no other way can the end sought be accomplished.
