things you never dreamed that this wide eyed little child ever thought of.
 Why shouldn't I know how to mix a cocktail?" she says smilingly when help to mix that Green Elevator cocktail 1 six nights in the week and two niatinees? I ought to know something about them after that, don't you think?"
 And didn't, Mir. Hopwood put every single blessed thing in the world into that cocktail except the kitchen stove? Do you
 know what really makes that scene so
 terribly funny, though? No? Well, I'll tell you. Little as you'd believe it, those two people who mix that cocktail are supposed to be absolutely innocent people. They are as unsophisticated as children, Ialthough they live in an air of sophistica- ton. They'd heard the names of gin and whisky and rum and vermouth, and liquors, flying about their homes like upon to mix a cocktail before in all their | lives, because somebody else has done it for them, probably the butler.''
 "The old adage that a little knowledge lis a dangerous thing is verified in the case of those two people, said Miss Hib- bard, "the wife having seen her husband emerge from under several stout cocktails during an evening, unharmed and the husband probably having seen his worldly wife do the same thing. Anyway, when the little cart is brought in with all those bottles on it, everything under the sun, it seems, the audience, which prob ably doesn't contain a single, solitary person who at sometime in their existence hasn't drunk cocktail, and wondered what on earth was in it, begins to laughi Most people know that it is deadly to mix gin and whisky, and so MT. Hopwood begins with that mixture Still, there are some total abstainers to whom that would spell nothing. just as it did to those two people. Europeans would no doubt laugh l themselves silly over that cocktail mix ture because they think all such mix lures are deadly and poisonous; unless it l is the Frenchman who isn't short on cock tail information. Anyway, everything 1 that anybody ever heard of Is put into l that cocktail except beer In fact, the combination of Jack Rose, Manhattan, Martini, Clover club, and a BrcNx are all put into one shaker by those two ignor- ant young persons in front of the wheel

 ture of Mrs. Bibb Graves with the following tribute to her;
 Mrs. Bibh Graves of Montgomery, wife of Lieutenant Colonel Graves of the First Alabama regiment, is one of the attrac- tive visitors brought here By the estab- lishment of Camp Wilson. Mrs. Graves has to her credit the fact that her divison organized more Confederate chapters dur ing the past year than any of the divi- sions. which means that the president of the division did a vast amount of work, and is still doing it, for she says she has practically moved her divisions to Texas. She will spend several months in San An tonic, returning to Alabama in the spring to get ready for the state convention of the Alabama division, which will meet in May Prior to her accepting the office of president of the Daughters of the Confed- eracy, Mrs. Graves did active club work in the federation, but since her election a year and a half ago she has given up all other club work Mrs. Graves is en- thusiastic over San Antonio. it's people and it's climate.

ANN|STON COUNCIL
 ID ADOPT PURE
 FOOD ORDINANCE
Measure Proposed Is Dras- tic, But Will Work No Hardship on Honest
 Dealers of City

Anniston. January 13.-(Special., The longest ordinance ever drawn uI in this city was presented to the citJ is known as the meat and milk" or dinance and is 8 revision of sim liar ordinance introduced several months ago. but which most of the members of the council at that time found objectionable on account of its drastic provisions
 The present ordinance is drastic compared with the food laws now in effect in the city, but it is believed it's provisions will not work hard ship on any honest dealer. although it is aimed to play havoc with dairy men who water their milk grocery men who sell sand for sugar and butchers who sell meat that is not fresh.
 The ordinance also provides for the appointment of a trained bacteriol- ogist. who shall inspect the barns of all dairymen who supply city custom CTS with milk. and who shall super intend the slaughter of all animals to be slaughtered in the new slaughter house, which is provided for by the ordinance.
 The document passed to it's second reading last night and will be acted upon finally at the next meeting of the council. While there is some ob- lection to it. it is believed it will be passed
 The members of the Calhoun Couns,' Teachers association will meet in the high school building in this city Sat urday, January 13 The associa tion now numbers about 150 and it's meet ings are always we'll attended, not only by the wielders of the birch but by laymen who are interested in edu- cation.
 Addresses will be made by a num- Der of prominent educators. including Rev. L. M. Latimer. Superintendent H. T. Persons of county schools, James Keith, Jr., president of the county board of education: D. R. Murphey, J. N. Bragg. c. N. Saunders and others.
 Hog killing has been in order in some sections of Anniston during the last week. The police have been ac- tive in enforcing the law, which pro- vides that no hog shall be kept with in 500 feet of dwelling and a num- Der of residents of the outlying sec- tions of the city have been cited to appear before the police magistrate on charges of violating this ordinance
 At the meeting of the city council last night number of petitions were presented by residents, asking that they be permitted to keep hogs, but all were refused.
 Automobilists of Anniston are great ly interested in an ordinance intro duced in the city council last night amending section BPS of the city code to provide that the speed limit of mo- tor cars and mortorcycles in the city fire district shall not exceed 12 miles an hour and elsewhere within the city limits the speed shall not be in excess of 16 miles an hour
 This is a more generous limitation than exists at present. The speed limit now in force requires chauffeurs to keep their cars down to eight miles an hour. They say they cannot do this without killing the engine.

FILE MOTION FOR RE-
HEARING YOUMANS CASE
Suit Brot for $25O,O00 as a Result Of
Bank Closing-Case Was Tried in
MinOt in 1915.

Attorneys for Grant S. Youmans Of
this city have filed motion for re-
hearing in the supreme court in the
case of Grant S. Youmans against for
mer Governor l.. B. Hanna and for
mer members of the state banking
board.
The supreme court on December 20
| handed down decision in which the
decision of Judge Kneeshaw Of the
district court of Minot was upheld.
The title of the case is Grant S.
Youmans against Louis B. Hanna,
Thomas Hall, S. G. Severtson, Robert
E. Barron, and others. Thomas Hall
is and was at the time the alleged
action occurred, secretary of state,
! Severtson was state bank examiner at
the time and Barron is banker in
this city. Other Minot businessmen
are defendants in the case, the allega-
ton being that the defendants were in
I q conspiracy to deprive the plaintiff
of his property.
| The history of this case dates back
! to 1914 when the state bank examiner
took charge of the bank which YOU
mans and his wife operated in Minot.
| 1t was charged that the bank was in
solvent, receiver was placed in
charge and the reorganization was
made in which 'Youmans lost every
thing he had.
Youmans claims that his bank was
as solvent at the time the bank ex-
aminer closed it as any bank in the
state. He also alleges that the bank
was closed by the defendants for po-
ltical reasons and that the process
was illegal. He therefore sued the
defendants for $250,000 damages.
The case was tried at Minot before
Judge Kneeshaw in January, 1915.
After the evidence had been submit
ted the court instructed the jury to
return a verdict for the defendants,
declaring that the plaintiff had utter
ly failed to prove his case.
In January last, attorneys for the
plaintiff made motion for a rehear-
ing on the ground that the supreme
court which had decided the case was
only de facto court contending that
the terms Of three had expired Dec.
1, 1916. At the hearing the supreme
court consisted of the two holdover
justices and three district court
judges. Judge A. T. Cole of Fargo
wrote the majority opinion, holding
that the de facto court had authority
to sit in the case.
