 League Elects

Huntsville November 7.--(Special) It Is estimated that the cotton crop or this year in Madison county, including seed, will bring to the planters $2,64o,- 900, as compared with about $2,25o,- 900 last year when there was a nor nal crop and at the same time the ex- pense of harvesting will be at least s50,000 less than last year.

|FOURTH ALABAMA MAREGIMENTIN
 CAMP AT MORALES MARVELS AT
 DEEDS OF ARMY MOTOR TRUCKS
Alabama Boys Find Much Them Are Convinced That Troops Along Border Give Good of Themselves
 Called Upon-Soldiers Along the Route

Camp Steph en,A. Little, Nogales, Ariz, October 31.-(Special Correspondence. The last section of our regiment, the Fourth, reached the end of our long trip early Saturday morning. We had been on the road since Monday. and although the journey was a pleasant one in every respect, we were all glad enough to see the end of it.
 The battalion detrained in the early hours, and hiked over to our campsite, about two and a half miles from the city. As yet we have been so busy making camp and getting everything in shape that we have been unable t. grace Nogales with our presence.
 The name, by the way, is pronounced 'No-gal-is, not "No-gals" nor yet "Nog- a-lees." The accent is on the sec ond syllable. The city, as everybody knows, is located exactly on the inter- national boundary, and is separated from the Mexican town, Nogales, Sono- ra, by street known appropriately as International avenue. This street sep arates Nogales, Ariz., from Nogales, sonora; which is just another way of saying that it separates civilization from barbarism and law and order from brigandage and anarchy. In some re- spects it is the most wonderful lit tie street in the world.
 Since leaving Del Rio Thursday morn ing, where we were held all day while a burnt bridge was being repaired every mile was filled with interest. To our ignorant eyes the world was full of wonders. The country is so different from our own that we nearly wore our eyes out 'rubbering." The scores of cattle raising gentlemen in broad brimmed hats and top boats who jingled their spurs at Del Rio were as strange looking to us as the dry rock strewn plains they inhabit. These same big hat fellows" made quite a fuss over us and did all they could to make our stay a pleasan tone.

 It's plaintive melody; some lit .s5 Wherein to hold rapt converse Ala soul,

So many people have asked me since Miss Angie Manning Taylor has been here the past 10 days conducting an hour of prayer and Bible work at the Highlands Methodist church each day, whyy I hadn't had talk" with her recalling as they did that upon the oc- casion of her last visit here more than year and half ago an Inter view" that she very kindly granted.
 These questioners little knew how much Miss Taylor disliked to give out that story; only through the persua- sive powers of Miss Edna Sandlin, the |secretary of the Young Womans Chris tian association, under whose auspices Miss Taylor was working then, was it possible.
 Miss Taylor dislikes publicity of any kind; she hates to see her name in | lnrip hor bo T %o I'm in no sense a public woman; shrink from publicity more than I can possibly tell you; my work, my sub ject, my theme-it is all so big-that it does not need publicity; the eternal things are subjects into which person ality does not enter" Knowing this was Miss Taylor's atti- tude, I haven't endeavored to write a story with" her, but I want to write story about" her. just little ap- preciation of her work; her mission her influence.
 It must seem very sweet to the gentle Christian woman, after such a long ab- sence, to come back and find that her place in the hearts of her friends is still aglow with the beautiful memory of her tender influence and gentle teachings.
 Hers is the influence which helps and lasts; as a woman who has attended all her Bible talks remarked to me a few days ago:
 "She makes the way so plain; she helps me to understand, and there are so many things that don't understand so many problems that I can't work out alone"
 Isn't that just the point exactly haven't all of us those problems these subjects which come up in our lives that make us stop and think. "Oh if I only had somebody to explain them: somebody to point out the way! And Miss Taylor does this so effect lively. She is truly remarkable wom- an; she is one of the most profound Bible students of the day, and one

MARvELs OF MOTOR TRUCKS

MARVELS OF MOTOR TRUCKS
 We saw representatives of practical ly every branch of the service, but the one that interested the writer most of all is the youngest of them all. That is the motor truck service, which sprang into being the day after Pancho Villa rode into Columbus. We had heard and read a lot about the wonders that the prosaic trucks have been ac- complishing, but one can hardly realize the full extent of them. They have practically revolutionized army trans portation and have proved beyond a doubt that they are as well adapted to an arid wilderness as to the roads of Europe.
 Following the Villa raid the govern ment purchased thousands of them for use along the frontier. They are or ganized into companies of about 30 trucks each and are given the Herculean task of transporting troops and su-
 plies along some 2000 miles of from
 tier. The trucks are for the most part handled by civilians sent from the fac tories but the war department is put ting enlisted men in charge as rapidly as they can be trained. We are assured that the truck is an absolute success that it can go anywhere a mule wagon can go, and do many times the amount of work in less time and with less care.
 No one seems to know how many are now in service, but the country seems to fairly swarm with them. One thing is certain, if word every should come from Washington that we were going in,
 our going would depend to no small ex- tent upon these same trucks and their drivers. With them we can move into places that were before inaccessible
 and can strike out in any direction With these modern war chariots to supply our wants our army need never go hungry, and our infantry can be moved more quickly than cavalry. They ! are the troop trains of the future.

 things lies in the fact that trr.
 temptations and environments are sv overwhelming in their magnitude and their diversity, that it is hard for many women to lay aside the good for the best.

Many women are perfectly .illing to make sacrifices for
 the esthetc and intellectual side of life. and I contend that if the spir- itual life is presented to them as it should be, and which endeavor to do in my teachings, that they will see the need of it, and accept it eagerly.

We never grow wearied with the scen- cry. To eyes accustomed to the rich fields of Alabama the treeless plains of west Texas seemed veritable de- sert; and those of us who had lived among hills that are decently clothed
 with forests could not get used to the dead treeless appearance of the ones we passed.
 SWARMS WITH SOLDIERS
 From Del Rio westward the country
 seemed to swarm with soldiers. All along the road we passed detachments
 of one or two squads guarding the
 bridges. These men on outpost duty seemed to be leading a quiet and peace
 full life far removed from the tempta- tions of the city and one whose only dissipation seemed to consist in watch
 ing the trains go by. Some of these outposts are miles from anywhere ma rooned by military necessity out there in the wilderness. Their existence has
 at least, the charm of solitude The presence of guards is said to be neces-
 sary along the railroads, for accidents to bridges are not infrequent along the border.
 At every stop we found troops sta. toned, and there were always a few lounging around the stations.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS
 OF HOT WATER
Wash the poIsons and toxins from system before putting more
 food Into stomach.
Says InsIds-bathIng maIess any. one look and feel clean,
 swset and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the Inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impurf- ties into the blood, causing illness while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach nearly ar ounce of waste of material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lynph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body.
 A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, Q glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate In tt, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside bathing. Men and women who are accustomed to wake up with dull, aching head or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow complexion, others who have bilious attacks, acid stomach or constipation are assured of pro- nounced improvement in both health l and appearance shortly

HOUSE PASSES THE
 FLOOD CONTROL BILL.
Authorizes the Expenditure of Not
 More Than $45, 900.

Washington, May 1.-The flood con- troI bill, providing appropriations for the Mississippi and Sacramento rivers, was passed by the house late today by a vote of 1S0 to 53.
 The bill now goes to the senate. It would authorize the expenditure of not more than $45. .0e0, 900 for flood control and general improvement of the Mis- sissippi river under the Mississippi river commission, and $5,600, 900 for food control removal of debris and general improvement Of the Sacramen- to river, including continuance of the California debris commission plans.
 The expenditures are to be spread over a five year period. The MiSsis- sippi valley local interests are to cos operate with an amount equal to one- half of the $45,0O0,000. The state of California is to match the $5,600, 900 with an equal sum, while the Sacra- mento valley land owners are to build all river levees, bypass ievies and by pass rights of way in a. work estimated to cost them, under the debris commits sion plans, approximately $50, ,00O, 900. The bill provides machinery under the war department by which any flood problem other than the Mississippi and Sacramento may be examined and re- ported on by army engineers.
 There was no party division on the bill Speaker Clark and Majority Leader Kitchin being joined by Mf- nority Leader Mann in it's support.

Farn Land vaIaes Inereasina RapldIy

The value of farm lands is increas- ing at the rate of about five per cent per year or approximately g per acre per year. The average value of farm lands in the United States without inn provements is estimated at $45.55 per acre, as compared with S4O.S5 a year ago, $32.40 in 1910, and $15.57 per acre in 1900, according to the government experts. The increase in land values will tend to increase the efficiency of farming methods. Men who own high priced land must produce more from every acre, if they are to realize a profitable return from their farms. Hit-or miss farming methods will no longer pay. Intensive methods must take the place of extensive methods more generally. Every factor in soil improvement and crop production should be considered by the farmer who wishes to profitably conduct his farming business in a business like manner. Fertilizers have a definite place in soil improvement and crop production.

FOR SOIL REGULATION.
Furniture Glue Will Hold Particles Of
 Soil to Seeds.

Coating the seed of Iegumes with inocuIated soil before planting, is a simple method of insuring soil inocu- 1ation at slight cost. County agents in Illinois have found ordinary furni- ture glue effective in holding particles of inoculated soil to the seeds. The method gives each individual seed some of the particles of inoculated soil which it carries with it when it is planted. The scheme requires but a small amount Of inoculated soil and costs but a few cents an acre, The method is described in Farmers bulle- tin 704 of the department of agricu1- ture, Washington, D. c.
 Dissolve two handsful of furniture glue for every gallon of boiling water and allow the solution to cool. Put the seed in washtub and then sprin- kle enough of the solution on the seed to moisten but not to wet il, one quart a bushel is suficient) and stir the mixture thoroughly until all the seed are moistened.
 Secure the inoculated soil from a place where the same kind of plants as the seed are growing, making sure that the roots have a vigorous deve1- opment of nodules.
