THE RIVERS and HARBORs BILL,
Develop the Waterways and Preven

Develop the Waterways and Prevent
Recrence OF Car Shortage.
"Three hundred and seventy-six
million-count them, 376,000,0 900
tons of freight were. handled on the
waterways of the United States in
1916. That is enough to fill 9,400.-
900 average Acton freight cars, or
about four times as many cars as our
railroads own today. "That," says a
statement issued by the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress,
"shows that the waterways are still
of some service even after fifty
years of cut-throat competition by
the railroads.
ION May and again on Novem
Der / last year shippers asked for
more than 165,0Oo cars which ..uld
not be supplied. Then came a
winter of extraordinary severity and
coal shortage which amounted to
a national disaster.
''The total losses since the car
shortage began, ip September, 1916,
are probably not less than $4,000
100000, and may be as much as
$40, 100000.
bad as was thise huge financial
loss, the sickness, suffering and
death due to lack of coal-which was
due to lack of cars-were vastly
worse. Worse Of all was the delay
in shipment of supplies and NUM-
lions which were urgently needed by
our own Army and Navy at the front
and by those with whom we fight to
make the world safe for democracy.
At one time no less than 213 ships,
loaded and ready to sail, were held
in New York for lack of bunker COAL
1--WE have hundreds of harbors
and $4,000 miles of waterways clas-
sed as navigable, of which less than
1900 miles have been sufficiently
improved to have dependable chan
nels. One-tenth of the amount lost
by the people of the United States
during the last eighteen months
would have been more than enough
to thoroughly improve every mile of
our navigable waterways--and if
that had been done, and we had been
wise enough to foster and develop
water transportation, instead Of al
lowing it to be crushed by railway
competition, there would have been
no car shortage, no coal shortage,
no staggering financial loss, no peril
to our armies and our cause through
delays to ships, and many homes
. would still be bright which today
are full of sorrow.
''The Rivers and Harbors bill
which provides for the maintenance
and improvement of our waterways
and harbors is of interest to every
citizen of the United States. Every
thousand, or million, or hundred
million, tons of freight sent by water
leaves freight cars free to serve
those whom the waterways can not
reach. Manufacturer and mechanic,
merchant and clerk, farmer and
miner, every mother with son now,
or soon to be, in France, and every
loyal citizen who wants to win this
war should do everything possible to
make it sure that our waterways and
harbors are maintained, improved
and used to the limit of their
capacity"

Has Not Fixed Price OF Tomatoes.

Has Not Fixed Price OF Tomatoes.
The circular Bulletin No. 81 of
February 20, 1918, issued by the
Food Administration, did not, and
was not intended as fixing the price
per ton at which producers in Leila
ware, Maryland and other States
mentioned, must sell their tomatoes.
1t was, as appears on it's face, bull
letin of information to Gamers that
the Army and Navy, for the canned
tomatoes needed by them, were
ready to receive tenders from can
ners, il they desired to make the
same, for canned tomatoes based on
the prices stated per ton of tomatoes.
No one was required to bid and no
Limitation was made on the price per
ton which anyone might ask for his
tomatoes, but simply that if the can
ners wished they might make an
offer to the Army and Navy on the
basis mentioned.
The Food Administration has no
power and no desire to fix the price
of tomatoes.

1t is now possible to send seventy
pounds by parcels post in the first
and second zones. The limit Of
weight for the other zones is Fifty
pounds. The cost in the first zone
is five cents for the first pound and
one cent for each additional pound.
The new limit as to size and weight
has been made so that it is now pos
sible for a farmer to ship bushel of
potatoes or a crate of eggs. The
material will be shipped to the city
by truck and will be delivered where
you want it, before the express has

A Bilious Attack.

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead if digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain s Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you viii soon

INTERESTING
LETTER FROM
A LOCAL man
Describing the Celebration at Camp
Mcclellan and Admission, Alabama,
Monday Night, November IL.

The following letter was received
by Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Nauman of West
Second street from their son, Walter
l, Nauman, describing the big cele-
bration at Camp Mcclellan and Annis-
ton, Ala, of which he took part:
Camp Mcclellan,
Admission, Ala, November IL, 1918
Dear Mother, Dad and All:
A few lines to let you know that l
am still in Gods country and well,
and able to eat more than my share
at the present time of Hooverizing
and conservation. What kind of a
celebration did you have last evening
in honor of the Allies victory?
thought of you many times during the
day for l knew after you had heard
the good news that you with many
other mothers, sisters and wives were
crying for joy.
We had a time of our lives last
night. After we heard that the armis-
tice had been signed and knew there
would be big celebration in Annis-
ton: so we got Mr. Morris, our Band
Leader, to see the Colonel for per-
mission to go to town, and take the
band, which he very willingly agreed
to. Then Mr.. Morris made arrange
ments with the Chamber of Commerce
for the evening program.
We had supper at $50 p. m, then
got ready and serenaded the officers
from 5:45 until 6:15. Then two big
auto trucks come driving up for us;
all piled in and soon were on our way
rejoicing, singing until we could sing
no more.
The trucks drove up in front of the
Alabama Hotel where we unloaded,
took our overcoats in the hotel, lock-
ed them up, and got ready for bust
ness. We then went into the crowded
streets. There were more people con-
gregated in one place than l have
even seen before at one time; it was
all we could do to get into the street.
We had no more than gotten there un-
til two fellows had Mr.. Morris on their
shoulders carrying him ahead of the
band, in that position until we had
played march. The band kept going
down the street and the throng of peo-
pie following after us with lighted
torches made of Alabama pine trees
and you know how rosin smokes and
the heat was felt by all BY the way
that was one of the pieces we played,
Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight"
The people marched about fifteen
blocks, in fact all over the main sec
ton of Admission, then back in front
of the Post Office where we stopped
for the biggest part Of the evenings
program; played while thousands Of
men, women and children sang Amer
lea, Star Spangled Banner, Its a
Long Way TO Berlin, But We Got
There" and a number of others. They
had it so arranged that after each
song one of the leading men of Annis-

ton would speak for about five min
utes. The entertainment on the
streets lasted until about 8:45, then
the band was invited to dine at the
Miss Mobiles Cafe where the Chamber
of Commerce had prearranged a nice
banquet consisting of the following
menu: Roast beef, potatoes, corn
sticks, head lettuce, salad, coffee,
bread, apple pie with ice cream, and
l assure you the boys did not leave
any for manners sake. Along with
the banquet there were piano solos,
violin, drums, recitations and few
selections from the band. While we
were playing in comes Colonel Meyers
and wife, so they requested that we
play more.
After leaving the Cafe we struck up
couple of tunes on a march to the
Alabama Hotel. The people of the
Hotel would not let us go until after
playing everything we could. They
treated us to Coco-Cola and then we
got in the big trucks that took us
home, arriving about ~ p. m.
The Judge S. w. Tate invited all
the band boys up to his home this
coming Friday night and we sure ex-
pect to go providing we can get per-

tory of the seven years of litigation
between the stockholders and the de-
positors and creditors backed by the
State Banking Department
There were fifty-four separate de-
fences interposed by the stockholders.
More than 800 witnesses were exam

Justice Calaghan brushed aside all
technical;ties and held that those
stockholders who settled their pro rata
of the claims against the bank when
the State Banking Department made
it's claims, are not compelled to pay
the additional 40 cents on the dollar.
He also decided that the so-called
pool. which acquired stock after the
closing Of the bank, in order to main
tain the market price of the bank S
stock, must pay pro rata, plus the ad
ditional 40 cents on each dollar Of
their holdings.
Speaking of this pool, the justice

There is no doubt that the sub
scribers to this pool had for their pur-
pose the making Of u profit for them
