DENSON DECIDES | NOT ID MAKE RACE FOR GOVERNORSH|P Opelika ,yurist Issues State Ment Following Insistence
 of Friends for a
 Decision

Judge N. ID. Denson of Opelika, who has so frequently been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor, yes terday issued a formal statement stat ing that he has decided not to enter the race. It had been conceded that if Judge Denson had entered the lists he would have been one of the most formidable candidate in the field. His statement is as follows:
 T have been mentioned in some of the newspapers of the state as probable candidate for the office of governor. l have also received letters from numerous persons from all sections of the state ana a large number have had personal interviews with me- all urging me to become candidate. 1 have thought until now I would make no answer for sometime, yet. but the insistence that 1 enter the race my duty to make known my de- cision.
 T am not unmindful of the compliment implied in this action on the part of my friends, nor am I unappreciative of their wishes for my political preferment. But for personal reasons not necessary to be discussed, and after due con sderation of the matter in all it's phases I have concluded not to become a candidate.

Sure! High Heels Cause Corns But
 Who Cares Now

Because style decrees that women crowd and buckle up their tender toes in high heel footwear they suffer from corns. then they cut and trim at these painful pests which merely makes the corn grow hard. This suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and women are warned to stop it.
 few drops of a drug called free- zone applied directly upon sore corn gives quick relief and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain. Ask the drug store man for a ouarter of an ounce of freezone, which costs very little but is sufficient to re- move every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 This drug is an ether compound ana dries in a moment and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Clip this out and pin on your wife's dresser.--7Adv.

STOP PAYING RENT

Why pay rent for a home when you can make your rent money buy your own home?
 The physical stability of city or state depends upon owners of property-not renters of it. The home owners are the real fixed population-the builders.
 Do you own your home?
 You pay, say, $25 per month, or $500 per year, to some landlord in rent All you get for your money from month to month is roof over your head
 At the end of the year all you have Tn the world to show for your $500 Is a bundle of receipts. if you have saved them.
 You have no more proprietary interest in the home that shelters you than you have in the trolley car in which you ride to and from work.
 You board the car pay your nickel ride to your destination and get off. The company has your nickel; you have had the ride The books are closed.
 You pay your house rent, are sheltered for a month, then get out or else pay for another months rent. The landlord has your money; you have his receipt. The books are closed
 Young man you can go on paying rent, and if you I've to the age of Methuselah you will still be where you are today. You can take the amount of two months rent make a first payment on home and thenceforward pay at the rate of monthly rental and gradually build up an equity in the home you live in.
 It will soon be-yours. Every dollar you've paid in has increased your equity has added to your independence, and your worth as a citizen.
 Own your own home. From the day you start paying for it you feel the difference. Try it.
 Young man, get home.
 M. P. Messer urges the local Realtors to use small space in local papers daily and tell the people exactly what they have to sell; in other words, give them a bargain, sell bargains.

 TALK BY EXCHANGE
Messer Advises Exchange to Adver- tise in Daily Press Every Day During Campaign-Watch
 Small Ads

q have been in the real estate busi- ness for years; I am now engaged in that business in Chicago, and I want to compliment the magnificent spirit of cooperation that I have seen here between the Real Estate exchange and the corporations, and especially with the newspapers in conducting your 'Buy-a-Home'' campaign. It is mar velous; it makes me want to do busi- ness in Birmin eham, and how I long for such cooperation in Chicago, where we generally get what we pay for, and especially with the newspn- pers." said J. +. Hecht, who was a caller at the office of the Real Es- tate exchange yesterday.
 MT. Hecht referred to the street cars and busses carrying placards advertising the campaign; merchants using the slo- gan in their advertising copy; stories in the newspapers, the stamping or print ing of the slogan Buy Home" on all bills mailed out by the public service corporations, and the uniform interest shown in the campaign by the Rotary club, the Community club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Civic association and the Kiwanis club.
 The first week of the campaign, whicf has been extended for a month, ha: proven successful. Every dealer has re. ported sales. The Realtors are collec- lively and individually making a keen effort to eclipse all previous records if selling homes.
 The practical argument advanced in favor of the buy-a-home movement is more thoroughly pictured in statement issued by the executive secretary of the exchange, Robert F. McDavid, which fol lows.

MACHINE TO PACK CURRANTS
Difficulty Which Has Always
Bothered the Growers.

Since the early days when cur
rants were first exported from
Greece, one feature of their packing
has remained practically unchanged.
Owing to the fragile nature of the
fruit, too much pressure in forcing
it into barrels or cases is injurious
to its quality, and the only hitherto
practicable method of packing has
been by the feet of men and women.
A wealthy and prominent young
currant packer of Patras, re-
ports Vice Consul George P. Wal
Ter, Jr., from that city, has pro-
duced a machine which automat-
ically cleans and packs more than
$50 cases Of currants an hour, with
out contact of human hand or foot,
and bids fair to revolutionize the
present methods of the packing
houses.
The device consists of a large hop
per, into which currants are con-
stantly poured, and from which they
flow into a cleaning compartment.
The cleaned currants then flow into
cases or barrels placed in constant
succession in the barrel holder, where
a large, pistonlike disk presses the
currants down with exactly the
requisite force, layer after layer be-
ing pressed in order until the recep-
tacle is filled. Under favorable con-
ditions, the standard barrel can be
filled in about twenty-five seconds.

HIS EYES OPENED BY WAR
Hospital Experience Converted Rus
sian Peasant Into Advocate of
Increased Freedom for Women.

For forty years Feodor lvanov, a
Russian peasant soldier from the
Kharkov steppe, had lived in little
village without observing that Rus
sian peasant women need liberties
they do not have. Then he wounded
his leg in the war and was carried
to a Petrograd hospital, where he
saw woman doctors, woman clerks,
woman conductors. One day he saw
in the newspapers a notice of the
meeting of the Cooperative Wom-
ems society. He lay on his back and
thought about it, and then wrote an
essay on "Women," in which he said:
81 appreciate and support the eff
forts of these women in their strug-
gle for freedom. There is greater
gulf between town women and vii
lage women than between town men
and village men. The village wom-
ans lot is harsh. She is half an
animal. After the war, when many
of the women of the village will
have lost their husbands, will they
be able to get along Independently?
No. 1 have seen village women be-
fore the authorities. One of them
was in the right. She knew it, but
stood there fumbling and trembling,
unable to pronounce word in her
defense. 1t will be necessary to help
these women. appeal to the edu-
Gated women of the town, who |
know are struggling for their rights.
May they help her to educate our

The Fully Charged
Battery Hard to
Freeze

Care of a storage battery in winter
IS an important factor for the automo-
bile owner, whether the car is in use
or not. A storage battery is chem
icsl and not a mechanical device, and
for that reason care and attention
rather than strength of materials
count for the most in the life of the
battery. The actual difficulties, how
ever, are not great if the battery is
examined at regular intervals.
Especially in the winter is the stor-
age battery likely to give trouble, be
cause of improper care or actual abuse
The lights are used more, fewer long
drives are taken and there is less op-
portunity for recharging. The driver
is more inclined to take for granted
that the battery will take care of itself.
He may hold the starting button down
instead of printing, and, furthermore,
the battery is apt to freeze.
All that is needed to care for a bat
tory is hydrometer syringe and some
distilled or clear rainwater. In no
event should any acid or electrolyte be
added to the battery except by expert
enced men.
Temperature plays an important part
in determining the effectiveness Of the
battery. as a cold battery three fourths
charged will produce no more current
than a warm battery only one-half
charged. For this reason hydrometer
readings Of each cell should be taken
about twice month, whether the car
is in use or not, 10 determine whether
recharging or reilling with distilled
water is necessary.
Readings from 1880 TO 1900 show
the battery is fully charged. For the
most part all cells of the battery
should be kept within that range. A
fully charged battery will not freeze
until temperature OF about 50 degrees
below zero has been reached.
A battery which is to stand idle In
the winter should be fully charged and
the positive wire removed TO prevent
possible short circuits through the
wiring system. Recharging should fol-
low when the battery is TO be used
after having been idle for several
months.-C. l.. Hedges, Service MAN.
