Great Britain hopes TO make farmers
out Of many SOLDIERS invaded from

The average American farmer finds
that he needs his health, both hands
and feet and few hired "hands" TO do

The State Department has cabled
Ambassador Gerard for MS exact words
at that Berlin banquet. But isn't the
state department little unreasonable?
Does it really suppose mat the Am
bassador can recall his exact words?
The words attributed TO him by the
Overseas News Agency bear all the
evidences OF having been achieved al a
late stage of the banquet, at the flood
tide, 50 to speak, of things more ex-
hilaratipg than Germany's national
beverage, and it is hardly in human
nature that even an am bassador should
be able 10 remember them next morn

An estimate of the partisan lineup
of the next House of Represe natives a
few weeks ago showed that the Ke'
publicans would hold PA seats, the
Democrats 2l3, Independent 2, Pro-
gressives >, Prohibitionists !, Social
lists /, and that two contested seats
were still doubtful. one OF these
doubtful seats goes to the Democrats
by the recount in the third Now Jersey
district where Thomas J. Scully,
Democrat, is found to have plurality
of 2O3 over the Republican candidate.
The latest figures therefore leave the
two parties tied in the next House
Of Representatives with pa votes each,
one seat still in doubt. The six indie
pendent and minor party representa-
tives acquire a lot of Importance IN
their own and in their colleagues esti'
nation by reason OF the fact that they
will hold the balance Of power IN any
purely partisan lineup in the next
congress.

CHILDREN BURNED

The twin children of Mr.. Press
Tabor, prominent oil man of Meme
Zee county, were killed and their
bodies cremated as the result Of a
gas explosion and fire which de-
stroyed the Tabor residence at
Rothwell at nine o'clock Wednesday
morning, according to reports reach
ing here that afternoon. Mr.. Tabor
was away from home and Mrs. Tabor
had gone to the store at Rothwell
leaving her three children in charge
Of d servant. The twins were in the
kitchen with the baby, and it is
thought, turned the gas on and
struck a match. The noise of the
explosion aroused the servant, who
was in another part of the house,
and she rushed to the kitchen and
managed to save the baby. The
twins, however, were lying on the
floor and it is believed they were
killed by the gas fumes. The SER
want was unable, owing to the head
way of the fire which followed the
explosion, to save their bodies
which were cremated when the
home was destroyed. Mr.. Tabor is
a nephew of the late W. R. Tabor,
of Rothwell, and was formerly
agent for the Adams Express Com
pany at that place. Lately he has
been quite successful in oil leases,
and has many friends throughout
this section who will be deeply
grieved to learn of the terrible
tragedy.

Mobile lies at the mouth of the
Mobile River, which is formed by
the junction of the Alabama and
Tombigbee rivers. Many products
of the interior come down these riv-
ers; cotton and lumber in large guam
titles is seen, and coal from further
north.
Mobile harbor affords accommoda.

Mobile is some thirty miles from the
Gulf of Mexico and it is a delightful
sail up the broad winding entrance
to this city--Mobile-which has a
population of $4,000 souls.
From the waters edge there is a
gradual rise of the land which leads
to attractive hills and ravines, upon
which are located beautiful southern
homes-old and new-and the shell
roads are a boon TO the automobilist.
There are few cities In the world
which possess so many beautiful
streets that might be termed boule-
wards. Some of them resemble
small portions Of Paris, France or
Brussels, Belgium-as II was before
the present devastation from the
European War.
These streets in Mobile are lined
with some Monarchs of a century of
production-the grand old
elms and water oaks, and not few
are embellished by the hoary gray
moss that sways with the
passing breezes. Government street
is the most imposing, and branching
from II are many attractive park-like

DUNE WAN thAEo
With the exception Of increased
letter rates and tobacco taxes which
5 went into effect Friday, the special
stamp taxes on documents, legal in
struments and parcel post packages
which go into operation December
l, all special taxes began Thursday.
They include:
One cent on each dime paid for
amusement admissions.
Three per cent. on payment for
freight transportation.
Eight per cent. on passenger
fares.
Ten per cent, on payments for
Pullman and similar accommoda-
tons.
Five per cent. on oil pipe line
transportation.
One cent for each twenty cents or
fraction paid for express packages.
Five cents on each telegraph, tele-
phone or radio message costing Is
cents or more.
Various taxes on cigars, cigar
cites, tobacco and products.
Ten per cent. on club dues.
Eight cents on each 500 of new
life insurance and one cent on each
dollar of premiums paid on fire, ma
rine, casualty and other insurance
policies.
Although the tobacco taxes did
not become operative until Friday,
many dealers had already advanced
retail prices in anticipation of the
war levies. Other taxes of the new
law, including those on hard and
soft drinks, incomes and war-excess
profits, have been in effect since the
law was approved October 3, but in
indirect form.
-On December /, the new stamp
taxes, including those on parcel post
packages, will be payable, putting
the entire law into complete opera
ton, except for increased rates on
second-class mail, postponed until
July l next.
Increases in first class mail rates
probably will be most generally felt
by the people. The law provides
that the postage ON letters, except
drop" or local letters, shall he 3
cents; and that on post cards, in
Guiding private mailing cards, shall
be one cent more than heretofore.
This increase includes so-called pic
ture post cards. The advances were
made effective thirty days after
passage of the law, and are con-
strued by the Postoffice Department
to begin with letters and post cards
postmarked November 2.
The increases also have been ex-
tended by departmental order to
first class mail to many foreign
countries, which under postal con-
xentions have enjoyed the domestic
rates. The new three-cent rate,
therefore, will apply to letters to
Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Panama,
England, Ireland, scotland, Wales,
the Bahamas, Barbados, British
Guinea, British Honduras, Santo Do
mingo, Dutch West Indies, Leeward
Islands, Newfoundland and New
Zealand, The post card increases
will extend to Canada, Cuba, Mexi-
co and Panama, the only countries
which have enjoyed the domestic
post card rate.
For consumers convenience,
books of postage stamps containing
Scent stamps are in readiness for
sale, and the department has had
printed thousands of 2-cent post
cards.
Amusement admission taxes be-
came effective Thursday at places
charging more than 8 cents. They
are cent for each 10 cents or
fraction paid for such admission,
payable by the person admitted, but
collected by the Government from
the amusement proprietor, required
