Because one has failed with Grim.
son clover once, or because many
failed last year, is not sufficient
reason for failing to SOW again this

Crimson clover is such a magniti.

one can afford to SOW it every year

Letter From DR.. Thompson.


Editor Of The Beacon:
In the language of Riley, up here
"Ihe frost is on the punkin,
And the corn is in the shock"
but most of the corn was seriously
damaged. | noticed there were samples
of corn from Tupelo, your state. on the
Chicago Board of Trade.
Today IS an Ideal October day, and we
are in "the melancholy days, the sad
dest of the year"
| saw lone robin this morning and
heard his plaintive twitter as he seemed
headed for the Southland, and | most
wished was going with him. wanted
to be IN Vicksburg this week to attend
the Reunion. General Cavett did his
best TO have me there. He wrote Gov
e nor Lowden of Illinois, as | am a
member of the Thomas Post of Chicago;
and Illinois made appropriation to carry
/ its old soldiers down there. Failing in
this he wrote Blewett Lee, solicitor OF
the |. c. Ra lroad.
In these letters he said some very
nice things about me, and | am very
grateful to him for the interest he mani
tested in my behalf. certainly should
have enjoyed Icing there, but did not
feel like spending the money to 60.
While we regret parting with our Macon
friends, we have found friends here,
ard Clara is near her people and | am
near my son. He and his wife gave us
a pleasant surprise one day last week
by coming over in their Stuoebaker

In the Reichstag the other day
George Lcdebour, a minority So
cialist, in speaking of that amiable
policy Of sinking ships so as not to
leave a trace ("spurlos versenktn)
said:
"Germany's reputation is most
gravely damaged in such way. We
can only save it if we show from
this Tribune our anger at such atroc-
ltlcs .
IN the case of the steamship
Belgian Prince, whose crew was
deliberately drowned with coldly
tiendish cruelty, we saw ''spurlos
versenkt2 in action. To the Ger
man mind, however, the criminal,
ity evidently became important
only when the LuXburg affair at
BucnOS Aires focused world atten.
tlon upon it, with boomerang eff,
feet upon German interests. And
'ycn then, do we see signs Of real
liSguSt at the crime; do we hear
the voice of genuine righteous in
I,gnation! Not at all. All the
world is an audience. The Reich
stag is 4 stage where German Off
Gals pose and recite their pieces
or our benefit. The Chinese thea
ire is not more naive. Mr.. Lede-
oour invites us behind the scenes
and explains to us that the game
IS only $50 show anger at such
atrocities! That thcremark came
from the mouth OF very liberal
member, who has been a pest to
the Government, is significant OF
the morbid state of the German
national mind. This precious spe

The Meridian Highway.

Completion Of the marking Of
the Meridian Highway from Lake
Superior to the Gulf was arranged
at meeting Of the Association
at Decatur. Illinois, Thursday
October 25th. The logic Of the
idea behind this movement for a
direct road connecting the resorts
of Wisconsin and northern Michi-
gan with thoso of the Gulf Coast
country in Alabama, Mississippi
and louisiana. is appealing more
and mu.e to the people along the
line. A direct road for travel
between intermediate points was
also provided for.
Under the provisions Of the
new Trunk Line road law in Wis
consin, and the sixty million dol
lar bond issue bill in Illinois. the
prospect Of a broad permanent
pavement in those states within
a few years, looks very bright
indeed.
Kentucky and Tennessee parts
of the road are to be cared for
with Federal aid inasmuch as the
state and Government money hag
already been ordered placed on
the roads south from Cairo to
Corinth, Miss. bv way Of Fulton,
Martin, Sharon, Greenfield, Trer-
ton, Humboldt, Jackson, Hendcr-
son and Shiloh Park. This mo9rs
a broad pavement across these
states also.

vanced in wonderful development

This will be the greatest nollh

cause it will serve the most pee

There are numerous local market

RICHMOND BLUES ID ABANDON B|G HORSE SHOW AND FESTIVAL Soldiers Will Accompany Shriners to Birmingham
 Thursday KILBY SHIPS CARS
 TO PENNSYLVANIA With Inauguration of Target Practice on Rifle Range the Divisional
 Ordnance Depot Is
 Busy Place

Anniston, November 97.-(Special) The horse show and general festival occasion to have been given by the pot on the outskirts of Camp Me- Clellan. in celebration of the Thanks giving holidays, have been abandoned. and in speaking of the matter Rus sell II. Kuhn, chairman of the press committee of the Blues, said Monday afternoon:
 "'The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley,' and plans for the Thanksgiving festival of the Rch- mond Blues have been hit by a. Az centimeter II. E. shell. militariiy speaking Orders were received late in the afternoon of Sunday. November 25. for the squadron to leave the re- mount depot at Camp Mcclellan for new station at once and this move has completely eliminated all prospects O. holding the cavalry meet and horse show so enthusiastically planned for Wednesday and Thursday next. It is a great disappointment to all con cerned in the festival that military necessity has taken this turn, but il is one of those things that a soldier has to always bear in mind when making plans for anything. and the boys are taking it as philosophically as possible.
 In spite of the fact. however, that il will be impossible to hold the field events. Sergt. Frank Cutchins of the general social committee. advises that the new move will not interfere with the ball to be given in Anniston on Thursday evening by the squadron and plans for this remain unchanged. Now that it appears that this is to be the only original feature of the festival to remain, efforts will be redoubled to make it a more brilliant affair than ever
 Iii addition to the Thanksgiving ball, the Blues CotiYs,cp cruD has issued Invitations to their monthly dance ons Wednesday evening, November 2S. This will be one of the most attractive fea- lures planned for the holiday, and it is hoped by all parties interested that military necessity" will not interfere with these two affairs. As stated be- fore however, as far as can be seen nt this time. nothing will happen to cause any change in these plans and in spite of the great disappointment on all sides at the forced abandon fJrc41t of the field events, etc, the Blues hope to make this a memorable Thanksgiving, nevertheless"

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
 DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elated over the fact that they have at last found a genuine and dependable rem edy for colds, sore throat and la grippe. For years they have depended chiefly upon the old style ca1omel, which is certainly fine, but unfortunately many people would not take it because of its nauseating and dangerous qualities.
 Now that the pharmaceutical chem ists have perfected a nausealess calo- mel, called "Calotabs." whose medic inaI virtues are vastly improved. the doctors and druggists are claiming that Calotabs are the ideal remedy to abort a cold over night and cut short an attack of sore throat or la grippe They are also finding it most effective as the first step in the treatment of pneumonia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating or your work and pleasure. The next morning your cold has vanished and your whole. system is purified and re- freshed. Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages; price thirty five cents. Your druggist recommends and guarantees them by refunding the price if you are not delighted.-Adv

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
PROSPECTS IMPROVE
Death Of SuIIoWay, Republican,
WeakenS 6. 0. P.

Washington, Mar. 13.-The prospect
Of the Democrats retaining control OF
the organization in the next congress,
an extraordinary session of which has
been called by President Wilson for
April 16, was again strengthened by
the death of Representative Cyrus
Adams Sulloway, Republican, of New
Hampshire.
Before the death of Mr.. SullOway
the count in the house stood, Demo
Gratis, 215; Republicans, 214, with
hopes Of lining up Representative Mar
tin, of louisiana a Progressive, to
give them a tie vote with the Demo
Gratis.
With this line up the Republicans
hoped to force a coalition organization
agreement. But the announcement Sat
urday by Representative Schall, of
Minnesota (Progressive) that he
would not be a party to any indepen-
dent movement which would block
any important legislation considerably
reduced the strength Of the demand
the Republicans could make on the
Democrats for equal control of the
house.

BUILDING MANY HIGH SCHOOLS
Seven New Buildings Within Small
Radius.

Wisconsin Educational News Bulle
tin: On Thursday, February 20, new
high school building was dedicated at
WATERFOWL. The building cost over
$4,000 with equipment. State Super
intendent G. P. Cary was a speaker at
the dedication exercises.
The new Lake Mills high school
building will be dedicated on Saturday,
March 3. This building has been in
use for few weeks. It's cost was be-
tween forty five and fifty thousand dol
lars.
Within small radius in the south
western part Of the state, large num-
Der of high school buildings have been
erected recently Or are proposed for
early erection. The Waterloo high
school building was dedicated a few
weeks ago. Waukesha has arranged for
100000 plant. Pewaukee has voted
to build new high school. The new
building at Sank City is almost com
plete. Portage is erecting a 100000
building to house it's high school.
While these examples are taken from
one small section of the state, 1t is
probable that other localities could
equal or even surpass this record fo1
building construction. Inspectors find
fewer and fewer old and out of date
school buildings and ever increasing
willingness aud desire to make school
buildings as up to date as possible
