Experience the
Best Teacher

1t is generally admitted that
experience is the best teacher,
but should we not make use OF
the experienc of others as well
as our own? The experience OF
a thousand persons is more to be
depended upon than that OF one
individual. Many thousands OF
persons have used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for coughs and
colds with the best results, which
shows iC to be a thoroughly re-
liable preparation for those
diseases. Try it. 1t is prompt
and effectual and pleasant to
take.

SON BILL IN TROUBLE.

Our son Bill told us in the early
part of the year that he wanted to
subscribe for a magazine, which
matter being considered and finally
adjusted, Bill got the magazine. He
selected St. Nicholas, which has af-
forded him a great deal of pleas
ure until Sunday. On Sunday morn
ing he went to Sunday school, and
when it was "out" he went by his
cousin Fred Minshall's and got a
John Smith catalogue about the size
of a family bible which he wanted
to read and hear read all the after
noon in order to select the presents
which Santa Claus would bring him.
He had large list selected and
everything looked rosy until he got
down his December number of St.
Nicholas to read. The first thing
which struck him was a large pic
ture of Old Santa himself. Santa
had large book in his hand with
d number of names written in it.
Bill read below that Santa was
striking out the names of some Of
the boys who had been bad, and he
looked to see who were the unfor-
tunates. The first name which he
saw with a red line through it was
"Willie Greene" which put John
Smith out of business, and badly
wounded our young son. When the
members of the household learned
the cause of Bil!'s trouble and be-
gan to laugh we came near having
a General Byng attack on US.
Bill says he wants "Boys Life"
next year.

THE MULE BUSINESS.

Owing to the fine advertisement,
the mule business had had in these
columns it has now become 4 favor
ite pastime. Uncle Jim had all of
it to do for awhile but some of his
neighbors are now assisting him.
Col. T. G. White, of Greenville
street, jumped iEto the business
this fall and he has been making
things hum for the last three or
four weeks. He has already brought
in two carloads of fine Tennessee
mules and he will have more for
his customers. His satisfactory
business dealings with the public in
the past guarantees him success in
this enterprise.
Mr.. T. P. McKellar has been Of
fering some fine mules for sale at
Hills stables for several weeks and
he has been doing a good business
at that stand. He knows the mule
business from start to finish and
wishes a chance to do business with
the people of the count.
Mr.. R. o Hunter has just brought
in carload of fine mules and is
now offering them for sale, and is
meeting with better luck at selling
mules than he generally has when
playing setback with Col. Pat Roche
as a partner. He is at Hills old
stand and will be glad to see his
friends there.
On Salesday there was big auc-
ton sale of horses and mules on
the square conducted by an expert
enced auctioneer. Both horses and
mules, apparently, sold we'll, and
the small boys had a lot OF fun try
ing to translate some of the fancy
talk of the auctioneer.
The John Mullins Livestock Com
pany is another concern we hear of
in the mule business: but as yet it
is only a curb broker in the busi-
ness, but with promise of branching
out.

ITALIANS REPEL
HEAVY ATTACKS
Mingled Ranks of Gray, Blue And
Khaki Form Barrier Huns Can
Not Break.

Italian Headquarters, In Northern
Italy, Monday, Nov. 26.-(By As
sociated Press.)-Five determined
attacks by Austro-Germans forces
on the left wing of the Italian fourth
army near Monta Pertica, between
the Brenta and the Piave, were de-
livered today. The enemy rushes
were broken by the defensive troops
with heavy losses to them.
Not only the left but the right wing
and the center of the army holding
the sector was subjected to attack,
the enemy effort attaining full force
here. On the right and the center
the struggle ragged from Monte Mon
fenera westward with the Italians
holding their lines at all points.
The fluctuations of the great bat
tie have now developed to stage
where the resisting power of the
Italian army has been demonstrated
to be sufficient to retard, if not to
prevent any sudden rush through
passes leading to the venetian plains.
This was regarded as a serious men,
ace six days ago, but as each day has
shown the Italian lines holding solid
against repeated attacks and their
defenders ready even to take the
aggressive against heavy odds, the
feeling of gravity that then pre-
vailed is changing to one confidence
and unwavering determination,
coupled with a spirit of buoyancy
which prevades all ranks of the army
and civilian life.
There is also the feeling that
friendly allied support is near at a
timely moment and that the mingled
ranks of gray, blue and khaki will
combine to form the barrier that Italy
has sustained alone until now.
Many British officers were at head
quarters today and the streets show
ed almost as much khaki as gray.
The Prince of Wales renewed his
earlier visit, going about the streets
and mingling with the officers at
public restaurants in the most demo-
cratic fashion.
1t is reported from the Fruli region
occupied by the enemy that the civil
population has been required to turn
over all copper articles, grease and
oils in it's possession within five days.
Emperor Charles is said to have made
another visit to the invaded region,
going to the coast cities of Guado
and Monfalcone.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
NEXT.

In order to meet the demands of
the public and especially to meet
the demands of the government in
the matter of transportation thirty
eight Eastern railway systems have
been placed under the joint man.
agement of seven men, and will IN
the future operate as one road, and
In this way undertake to solve the
transportation problem of the coun-
try in general of the government IN
particular.
That the government itself has
accepted this plan, at least tenta-
tyiely, as offering a solution of the
TRANSPORTATION problem must strike
the average man as somewhat per-
plexing as all these years there has
been a hue and cry against few
people absorbing all the railroads
and a few men having control OF
the transportation business OF the
country. Does the government now
&nd that these men were right when
they contended that the transporta-
ton of the country could be better
cared for by the combinations and
consultations which they effected?
And was the cry of the politician
IN congress, in the State leglsla-
lures on the stump and elsewhere
In reality against the progressive
development of our transportation
facilities?
And what does this one man sys-
tenn of transportation in the coun-
try portend? Does it mean finally
that there is to be but one manage
ment of the entire transportation
facilities of the country, and will
the manager be the government!
Will the government which has now
taken almost exclusive control OF
all matters pertaining to the rail-
roads, such as the regulation of
hours of labor, Standardization of
equipment, the fixing of rates and
revenues, and of wages to employ
ees, will it take the next logical
step and take over the railroads?
In a little while we shall see.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-08

, cred the beautiful Alabama white marble which has since taken it's place with Car
 rara marble as the most perfect material 1 in the world for sculpture.
 1 Signor Morettti had on exhibit at the Jamestown exposition many examples of l his work in Alabama white marble He 1 has made several public monuments in 1 the pale blaish white marble which corre- spends to the Italian gray marble, and many exquisite very low reliefs and busts, giving scope to his love of his art and at the same time feeling he was showing the loveliness of the beautiful marble he discovered. Visitors to Signor Moretti's studio in Pittsburg will be in | terested in seeing some finely studied sculpture in this pure white marble stli- dies that show the beauty of this material
 and the artistic conception of Signot
 Moretti.
 Symbolical of Alabama and especially
 of the Birmingham district is the statue or 'Vulcan,' now standing in the Ala
 bama State Fairgrounds here, the largest statue ever cast in iron, being 60 feet in height, and made for the city of Birming-
 ham to emphasize and accentuate the iron industry. "Vulcan' was exhibited at the st. Louis exposition and elicted tremendous admiration and comment.
 Among the many tributes to Signor Moretti's talent and ability none is more potent or vital than that of the late l.. M. Bigelow, who commissioned him to exc. cute the two entrances to Highland park Chicago, pronounced by art critics among Morcttis best works MT. Bigelow further commissioned Signor Moretti to submit models for the Scheniey park en- frances and other pieces of decorative art which he had planned to use in our public parks.
