Don't Merely "Sfop" a
Cough
stop the Thing that Causes IL
and the Cough will
Stop Itself

A cough Is really one OF our best
friends. Ii warns us that there is in
fiammation or obstruction in u danger
GUS place. Therefore, when you get a
bad cough don't proceed TO dose yourself
with lot of drugs that merely stop"
the cough temporarily by deadening the
throat nerves. Treat the cause-heal the
inflamed membranes. Here is home
made remedy that gets right at the cause
and will make an obstinate cough vanish
more quickly than you ever thought pos
sible.
Put 2h ounces of Pinex $50 cents
WORTHY in a pint bottle and fill the bottle
with plain graduated sugar syrup. This
gives you a full pint of the most pleasant
and effective cough remedy you ever used,
at cost of only 81 cents. No bother to
prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
II heals the inhamed membranes so
gently and promptly that you wonder
how il does il. Also loosens a dry, hoarse
or tight cough and stops the formation of
phlegrn in the throat and bronchial tubes,
thus ending the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway pine extract, rich in
guaiacol, and is famous the world over
for its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment. ask your
druggist for "21a ounces of Pinex," and
don't accept ANYTHING else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
lv refunded. goes with this preparation.

Great Britain Allowing This,

HUGE SUPPLIES
THROUGH DENMARK
Germany Officially Finds
Her Food Suffi-
cient

London, Jan. l3--The Mail prints a
five column article, crowded with statis-
tics, devoted to showing that all kinds
of foodstuffs from England are passing
through Denmark for Germany. The
writer of the article, who was sent by
the Mail through the Scandinavian coun-
tries and Holland to make inquiry into
the subject says that a similar condi-
ton of affairs prevails throughout Scan
dinavia and Holland, but. he confines his
figures to Denmark.
The Danish government now prohibits
the publication of statistics except as
regards the port of Copenhagen, but a
study even of these restricted figures,
asserts the writer, proves the case com
pletely. He declares it is impossible
for Denmark's small population to con-
sumo the enormous quantities of food
stuffs imported and says the vast bulk
of her exports go to Germany, either
directly or through Sweden.
The Mail in an editorial on this charge
roundly denounces the present feed-the-
Germans" policy of the foreign Office.

came the two shots and the sound of
Lawton's body falling.
Noble had only accompanied Lawton
for the ride, and was unarmed, as was
Lawton. When, therefore, he heard Car
ter say, "Where's the other fellows?" he
did not try to cope with him or to find
out what had happened, but turned and
ran, giving the alarm in the poolroom
and making for the Russell hotel, a
short distance away, to telephone here
for assistance.
Mrs. Carter works at the hotel as a
cook and Carter had previously made
trouble there and was feared. So when
Noble told OF the shooting the hotel
doors were locked and the hotel EN-
ployes and guests anxiously waited to
see If he would appear.
After Noble had gone Carter lifted up
Lawton's body, carried it outdoors and
threw it on pile of snow. Then he
started for the automobile, and. the
also unarmed, left the car and
ran to shelter behind a tree.

MOB LYNCHES
NEGRO; WRONG
ONE NEAR DEATH
Murderer of Wealthy North Carolina
Farmer Killed at Scene of
Crime.

Goldsboro, N. c., Jan. l3.-A mob
overpowered the sheriff and his officers
at the county Jail here yesterday and,
battering down the doors, entered and
removed John Richards, a negro, con-
fessed murderer of A. 7. Gurley, a veal
thy farmer.
The screams of the negro could be
heard for many blocks. He was placed
in an automobile and rushed to the
Hooks bridge, over Little river, the
scene of the murder, and hung from
rafter of the bridge, after which his
body was filed with bullets.
In its hurry the mob at first re-
moved the wrong negro, but one of the
members soon discovered the mistake.
An automobile left in the jail yard may
be the means OF experimenting the guilty
parties.

MIR. UNDERWOOD'S BOLT

fIom the TrOVluence Journal.
 Senator Underwood of Alabama could not have expected to have his amendment to the revenue bill carried, reducing the income tax exemption from s3o0O to 5000, but he evidently enjoyed the opportunity to declare himself on caucus dictation and gag rule. As one-time leader of the House, he is familiar with that parlia- mentary practice, but he is correct in as- suming that it does not accord with sen atorial tradition. Has the United States Senate degenerated to the potnt where one must take orders from other sena tors?" he demanded to know,
 The veteran "Gumshoe Bill' Stone was properly grieved at this display of spirit on the part of a comparatively new sen ator. MT. Underwood, cf course, is liv- ing evidence that the Senate has not so degenerated. But. what with Mr. Wilson demanding party loyalty--that is, obe- dience to White House dictation-and sundry 'spokesmen for the administra- tion" snapping the cat-o' -nine-tails in the faces of refractory senators, the atmos- phere of the Senate has not, of iate. favored independence of thought and ac- tion among the majority members.

THE FEDERAL LAND BANK
By OSCAR WELLS

cluded to come to Alabama and opened it's office in Birmingham. The progress of the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit
 association for the past 10 years, the only state fair within the commonwealth, in | a substantial evidence agalnsr the as-
 sumption that Birmingham is out of touch with agricultural matters, or that a federal land bank located at this point
 would fail to receive the sympathy or l support of the agricultural interests be-
 cause of their lack of familiarity with the city of Birmingham and her people In discussing the two questions of the advantages and disadvantages of locating a federal land bank in an industrial community, we would call attention to tho language of the law itself in reciting it's own purpose. It not only is an act of Congress to provide capital for agricul. tural development, but also for the pur. pose of creating a standard form of in vestment based upon farm mortgages Those who are charged with the duty of locating the banks and fixing the
 districts therefor. must take Into corr sideration all of the facts in regard tO | a location that they may achieve the greatest e1Ilclency through the operdtlou | of these F institutions. which would in- | clude not only the providing of capital | for agricultural development but the us- | ing of a created standard form of in- vestment resting upon farm mortgages l What more prolific field may be found | for the sale of such securities than in an industrial community composed of wage earners and salaried people? How better could the purpose of the law be
 served than the bringing together of the two elements, the borrower who belongs to the agricultural class, and the pur- chaser of the bonds secured by the mort gages furnished by the borrower who now finds difficult outlet for his funds at lower rates of interest. such as through the time certificates and savings departments of commercial banking in stitutions? One is essential to the other, and the community where they may both be combined more nearly approaches the ideal location for the establishment of federal land bank.
 May we not, therefore. readily conclude that instead of being hampered by the
 existence of an industrial condition, our claims are enhanced by it?

LOSELY following the passage of !k . the rural credits bill by Con- 0 gress, providing for the creation | of 12 districts with the location of d bank to be known as the federal land | bank in each, this city was among the first to announce its candidacy for that 1 institution. It's critics, impelled either l by the prejudice of rivalry or the lack l of information, were inclined to question the propriety of an industrial community, such as they say we are, expecting or asking for favors in a matter of agrlcul- | tural importance. The intimation was | frequently given that because we are makers of iron and steel products, en- gage in the mining of coal and the manu- | facture of machinery, that we are out of touch with everything pertaining to the production of crops and the growing of live stock and, therefore, not 10 De con sidered as a logical place for locating
 federal land bank.
 | This involves two separate questions: First, is Birmingham in close sympathy with the agricultural interests of Ala
 bama? Second, would the operation of the federal land bank of Birmingham be l hampered by the existence of the indus trial conditions around and about this city?
 | The local committee handling the sub | feet for Birmingham, after having can. vassed the matter with a view of de- l termining the advantages that this city would present, Is in accord that Bir- mingham has proven her worth as an agricultural center even though Jeffer- | son county and the sections near by do | not contain large areas of tillable land. An agricultural city Is one whose people are interested greatly in the progress l of agriculture rather than one upon whose borders the broad acres of growing crops are situated. Birmingham is the headquarters for the only state organ ! ization of farmers in Alabama. The con- ventions of that association are held here, which would indicate that the location 1 is a central one, meeting the require ments of convenience of those situated in the various producing sections of Ala | bama. We are between the rich and fertile valleys to the north or us ana the black lands to the south. Only few years ago a substantial farm publication,
