STOCK
SHOW AT CAPITAL
Travelling Men of State Are
Urged to Become Boosters
for Big Event

Montgomery, October Especially -Ev-
cry travelling man in Alabama will sing
the praises of the Statewide Live Stock
show to begin in Montgomery October
%, if they heed the words of A. Coke
Smith, secretary of the grand council
United Commercial Travellers and of the
Alabama Travellers association. Mr..
Smith has written to every member urg-
ing his cooperation in boosting the ex-
hibition, as he declares it is a state
wide event, the biggest of it's kind ever
staged in Alabama
1.-THE State Wide Live Stock show to be
held in Montgomery October % to %, in
elusive, will be the greatest attraction
of it's kind ever held in Alabama" he
says. There will be 100000 worth of fine
cattle, horses and hogs on exhibition,
and $4,000 in cash premiums will be
awarded to the prize winners. Buildings
costing $4,000 are erected to accommo-
date the stock to show them advantage
ously.
1.-THE purpose of this show is to educate
the people in raising fine stock, as they
will see what others have done and what
they can do, and secure information
and knowledge which will enable them to
be successful in this branch Of DIVERSE
fication in Alabama.
This show is of vital interest to trav
cling men as well as the business inter-
ests of the state. 1t concerns not only
the city of Montgomery and the county,
but the whole of Alabama, and will re-
dound to the benefit of the farmer and
merchants, and what helps them helps
you. The business men behind this prof.
ect are leading citizens of Montgomery
and the affair will be conducted on the
highest plane and business principles. II
behooves you, as a citizen of Alabama,
to advertise this show by word OF
mouth during the coming week, and IN
duce many thousand people to visit
Montgomery during the live stock show,
and your town, and boost Montgomery
particularly if you live here. Please have
this on your mind Monday morning, and
tell everybody you meet about it until
the show begins"

HOME STUDY

From the Federal Bureau Of Education.
Children have always studied at
home-a fact which parents seem to
forget. Even from the little old log
schoolhouse of SO years ago, books
were taken home and father struggled
with the arithmetic problems, moth
err pronounced the spelling words, and
the children studied by the Pickering
light. Study at home is not half so
motion picture shows. If supper is fol-
lowed by a period of work and play
and then a time of contented study, no
harm will result to we'll children who
are IL or ~ years old. The harm comes
when the child feels irritated and
frightened by the lessons; when the
parents do not give intelligent guild
ance and sympathetic understanding,
and when there Is noise and inter-
ruption during the study time. 1t is
not the study but the conditions under
which 1t is done that work harm. The
study time must not encroach upon
regular sleep nor should it deprive
the child of outdoor play or reasona-
BILE work. A quiet evening spent in
reading and study around the family
table with father and mother showing
occasional interest will do far more
for the child than will an evening spent
at some popular" amusement and Will
in later years become treasured
memory.
Little children cannot profitably
study at home. The afternoons are
needed as play time and bed time is
due at o'clock.

HEALTH MEN WORK
FOR AMENDMENT
DIR. Sanders Writes to Doc
tors of State on Sanitary
Importance

Montgomery, October 15.-(Special.)
Dr. w. H. Sanders, state health Off
Ger of Alabama for more than 25 years.
is the first public man of the state
to discuss the merits of the proposed
educational amendment from a SAM
tary standpoint Hygiene and SANTA
ton, he observes, are largely incul-
Gated into persons in school; hence,
better educational facilities react ia
vorably on the general population in
their recognition of the important
principles that should be carried out
in preserving their health and reduc-
ing the human losses from preventable
diseases. Heartily indorsing the
amendment, DR.. Sanders also believes
that 1t will bring better and more
sanitary schoolhouses, together with
more hygienic equipment, thereby
diminishing the annual death toll from
diseases that could be avoided.
DR.. Sanders has addressed a letter
to the physicians of the state ex-
pressing the foregoing sentiments and
asking them to work in behalf of the
amendment. He says:
nope of nationwide observance Of
sanitary and health measures depends
upon our public school system. other
agencies can play an important part
tut it is to the public school that we
must look for that wider dfssemina-
tlon of the principles of healthful Iiv-
ing that will permeate all classes of
society Hygiene, from the personal
and social standpoint, can be inbred

ing and in no other way may we hope
to save, for society and the state the
~ per cent of our total death loss
each year as represented by the vic
tins Of preventable diseases.
The school, however, can never in
culcate virtues which it does not ex-
hlb1t. Until sanitary building and
equipment replace insanitary and I'M
slightly ones, and until we have teach
ers who are familiar with the laws
OF health and apply them in the class
room, preyentable diseases will go on
eXacting its awful annual toll. We
shall never have better buildings and
better teachers until we are willing
TO invest more money in them. In the
past we have had no suitable machinery
for providing them, but we cannot
Justify indifference or inaction in the
future, since the proposed education
al amendment to the constitution,
which is to be voted on at the gen.
eral election in November, will make it
possible to secure the funds with
which to provide the much needed i'm
provements.
Believing, therefore, as 1 do, that
health is fundamental; that we must
lave the physical stock before we can
have the intellectual fruit, I am call
ing upon every physician in the state
to actively support the aforesaid
amendment, feeling confident that in
doing SO we will take the greatest
possible forward step for the improve
ment of living conditions in this state.
This letter should not be read
thoughtlessly and laid aside. The cause
of health and sanitation, therefore,
the vital welfare of the state, is at
stake. If what I have said appeals
to you, let me urge you to actively
aid in this cause by vigorous personal
work"

management of the Forty-fourth Street

playhouses here. 1t all hinges around a
claim I have made previously to the eff
feet that the negro is little If any bet

It was at the Tuesday night perform
ahce, this week, when another southerner
and myself sat in row seven, to witness
performance of Richard Walton Tully's
THE Flame" a really wonderful, and
totally different kind of an entertainment
headed by the inimitable Peggy O'Neal,

see who it was that was humping the
backs of our heads so unceremoniously,
we discovered nine negroes-nine, count
email in gorgeous array; low necks,
handsome opera cloaks, full dress even
ing clothes on the men and jewels on
the women.
IT don't believe it," said my friend,
referring to what he had just seen with
his own eyes. "They certainly must be
Hawaiians, or something"

here, but they're not. Don't believe it
for a minute, and If you who read are
black, don't think you'll get any more
advantages here, or any more favors
from the "palefaces," as you have called
them, than you do there.
The whole theatre was looking at the
grand array in black-and colors ''re-
lieved" here and there-as well as else
whereby red. But the darlxies seemed
rather to enjoy 1t. and did not even mind
when one party sitting beside them got
up and sauntered out to the box office to
find out the cause of 1t all. He never
came back. All through the show the
party in black commented freely and
none too inaudibly upon the wonders of
the show. They enjoyed it immensely,
and were permitted to sit through 1t in
peace and happiness.
The box office explained later that a
white man had purchased the seats, and
there was no way to avoid the occur
renee. But it was so unusual as to create
topic of conversation for every one in
the theatre, except the negroes them
selves.
The manager OF another theatre, when
1 told him of it, said, IT had something
similar occur at my house once. They
were in their seats when discovered

a mistake had been made-that their
seats had been previously sold to an
other party. They left but not with

Guile
From the New York Post.
They were riding home in the sub
way, a mother. 3-year-old little girl
and boy of five. Deeply absorbed in a
modern novel. the mother failed to OBJ
serve that the boy had five pasteboard
cards, while the little sister had none;
and that therefore she had made up
her mind to be the possessor of at
least one of them-perhaps even more
She tried force and q, lively struggle
ensued. The little boy, however, shook
her off is easily and in much the same
manner that a big dog would adopt to-
ward a small, teasing terrier. He had
such an air of amused loneliness.
The little girl was wise enough to
know when she was beaten. too. For a
moment or two she subsidized altogether
and it was easy to be misled into
thinking that she had given up the
fight. Very quietly she sat there, pay
ing not the slightest attention either
to the boy or to his cards.
But all of a sudden a strange thing
happened Mother Eve, who is innate
in even the smallest fragment OF
feminity. blossomed forth. Baby sister
realized instinctively that where force
was of no avail, strategy and caJolery,
so flattering to the masculine heart,
must prove the winning card.
She Struggled up to her brother af-
fectionately, her golden curls brushing
his cheek. She was charming little
sister anyway and the boy leaned down
close with patronizing air. Then,
quick as a flash, the baby girls ex-
preston changed to one of cunning and
she snatched from his careless grasp,
not one. but every alluring card.
Did he get them back? Oh, no, he
too knew when he was beaten. Being
masculine, and chivalrous, he scorned
to use force to regain what he had been
outwitted into losing. Instead he be-
gan to howl Justify. so that his mother
closed her book in amazement. She
locked clear beyond her crying boy to
see his tiny sister playing triumphant
ly and apparently unconsciously with
five commonplace cards.

a devotee of the gentle art of fishing.

HER SIDE--AND HIS
CORA MAKES THE LEAP

of them realized. Dave should have
his chance. If he failed they would
have the sustaining sense of hav-
ing done their darndest"
Once at home, Cora whipped off
her street clothes and donned a
bingham frock and worn apron.
Within an hour she had telephoned
an auction room, summoned
squad of packers and movers,
slowed her and David's personal
clothes and sorted out his books
She worked SO fast that there
was little time to "sentimentalize,"
as Dave had put it. Yet poignant
stabs went through her as she
packed certain pictures, lamps and
ornaments. Would she ever be as
happy again as in this wondrous
first year of marriage, with it's
modest ambitions, its steady prog
ress, its sacrifices and rewards, it's
work and it's contentment? When
she felt things are beyond recall
Cora sat down in the midst of the
household havoc and wrote out her
1ettergram:
Family, consisting of one good
sport, three trunks, two boxes,
suitcase, valise and Pythagoras,
who promises not to NEW, leaves
tomorrow 2:10. Prepare fatted calf.
Liver for Pythagoras. Meet lady

forth. Mauve auto veil for positive

Cora sent off her whimsical mes
sage, hoping it would convey to
David her new-found spirit of good
sportsmanship. How she prayed
that the courage Toms advice had
awakened in her would last, what
ever awaited her in the new life!
Then, the telegram dispatched,
Cora sat suddenly down upon a
pile of rugs in her dismantled
bedroom and muffled her sobs in
the hem of her dusty work apron.
