1t could buy 374 of the most mod

1t is more than three times the to-

companies of the world.
1t is little less than a third of
the entire manufacturing capital of
the United States, given in the last
census.
1t would pay the public debt of
all the states, cities and counties in
the United States more than twice
over.
1t is more than four times the to-
tai value of the school prperty of
the United States, eight times the
value of the wheat crop for 1915, tri-
pie the value of the corn crop.
1t is approximately fourteen
times the value of the production
of either the automobile or the
boot and shoe industry and four
times that of the packing industry.
1t is more than eleven times the

of all the companies in the United

United States Senator Charles
Curtis, of Kansas, caused quite
furry among the brokers of New
York the other day when he intro
duced bill in the senate to pro-
hibit the dealing in futures on
foodstuffs. The bill prohibits abso-
lutely speculation in foodstuffs,
and the word is broad enough to
include grains, vegetables and
meats. 1t even prohibits the trans
mission of any message Offering to
make or enter into contracts for the
purchase, sale or future delivery of
foodstuffs without intending the
actual foodstuffs are to be deliv-
cred. ViolatOrs are not only to be
fined but will be fined from five
hundred to five thousand dollars
and confined to jail for from one to
five years. Brokers in New York
were evidently disturbed by the in
PRODUCTION of the bill, and tele-
graphic inquiries Immediately came
to Washington inquiring into it's
provisions Senator Curtis is one of
the most influential men at Wash
ington and will be able to get the
bill through the senate if anyone
can. The measure is a good one and
it is to be hoped that it becomes a

Governor Gunter's board tells us
that the seed for large new acre
age is available for wheat and
beans These are highly desired
staples and the most generally pro-
fitable. The governors commission
can increase Colorado's productive
acreage half a million acres by
quick and intelligent action. If we
were not so busy telling other peo-
pie what to do we would be plant
ing beans on dry section good for
little else and especially adapted for
beans Anything done in this line
will be heard from in due time. The
growing of beans is attended by
some risk, but the man who gets a
crop is sure to make more money
than the same capital invested in
almost any other line could bring
him. At $40 a hundred beans are
gold nuggets of the thrifty farmer.
The Denver retail price is now Is
cents pound. The minimum crop
should be 1900 pounds to the acre
on any good soil.

 J. V. Lilies, well known Anniston man. who works a place near the edge of the city, demonstrated the advantage of diversified farming by bringing 7 bushels of sweet potatoes into the city, which he sold for $1.5O a bushel. He could have sold 200 bushels at the same price MT. Lilies says after the recent cold weather he thought the oats he had sowed in drills had been utterly ruined. The stems had turned black and he felt discouraged, but now, he says, the oats are sprouting again and the indica- tions are they will soon be as good as ever, nothing but the tops being hurt by the cold.
 Local interest attaches to the wedding of Miss Ruth Wootten to Ellis Corr, Jr., at the home of the bride in Washington, Ga., owing to the fact that Anniston- ians will take part in the ceremony.

Attorneys G. o. Holman and Jo-
seph Helgerson for the defense show
ed that the fight had been brewing
for some time as a result of a pro-
traeted enmity between Wells and
the Colsen family and that Wells was
justified in hitting Colsen because he
had called him a vile name and dared
him to nit.
The evidence brought out the fol-
lowing story of the meeting, Satur-
day night. Wells bumped into Colsen
in passing him on Main street; Col
sen said to his wife and daughter
sao were with him: "lt's a wonder
that young man wouldn't take the
whole side walk" Wells turned and
said he would If he wanted to. When
Wells got to the hallway by Staf-
rims drug store he had doffed his
cat and told Colsen that he had
heard Colsen had called him a vile
name. Colsen said he didn't remem-
Der it. but he wouldn't have missed

and told Wells to hit him and he
would "eat him up" Wells hit him
several times.
