On the way back in the bus her

To sit down and arrange her hair

AUBURN TIGERS ID BATTLE B. A. |. FIVE
 TONIGHT AT CLUB
Battle Will Decide Alabama Championship and Close 1918 Season of Basket
 ball Encounters

Tonights contest between the Auburn Tigers and the Birmingham Athletic club will ring down the curtain on the 1918 basketball season.
 Incidentally the scrap will determine the Alabama championship and predic- tions as to the outcome are about even- ly divided.
 Much interest is attached to the visit of the Plainsmen for three former high school stars are expected to wear the orange and blue. The names of Hub Hahn, Flemming Hall and Barker have been seen in local line-ups for number of years and their supporters are count ing strong on the Birmingham trio to show some stuff in the goal shooting line.
 Auburn's victory over the aggressive Tulane bunch last week has materially strengthened their stock m tonight's bat tie and unless all signs fail they will prove a tough proposition for Captain Gllems outfit.
 A large crowd Is expected to turn out and pull the home boys over. Tickets are going fast and devotees of the bas- ket game are urged to phone in their reservations at once.
 Following the game the usual dance will be held.

In few minutes others in the crowd took up the cry, and from that day on George M. Robinson became known in pugilstic circles as "Peek-a- Boo" Robinson.
 The San Francisco audience which went to that performance hoping to wit ness real exhibition by John l.. came away disappointed. But it was not the fault of the champion. It was that of his foe, who was so much afraid that he never gave John L. chance to open up and so in his first bout on the Pacific coast John L. was unable to demon- strate his terrific wallop or show to ad- vantage as an aggressive fighter.
 But he was no less a hero in my eyes and I came away idolizing him more than ever and hoping that some day fortune would so favor me that could shake his hand and have him say to me:
 ''Howdy do, young fellow"

Martin Burke and Jerome Gardner appear certain to represent the Pelican city while Frank Chappetta, present featherweight champion and Milton Boucherau, we1ter, are looked upon as likely con- tenders.

WHY COTTON SHOULD ADVANCE

The Georgia Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, Hon. ]. J. Brown, in urg-
ing farmers to hold Their cotton foi
35 cents gives some good reasons why
they should do so.
The world is on the verge of {,
cotton famine, Mr.. Brown stated, ana
there is no question but that cotton
will go to 50 cents if farmers con,
tinuc to hold.
The existing lack Of competitive
buying in the southern cotton mark
cts is attributed by Mr.. Brown to the
export restrictions still in effect, and
he states that with cotton goods sell
ing at present prices, the mills could
easily pay GO cents a pound for cot
ton and still make enormous profits.
Removal of the restrictions will
permit direct shipment of cotton from
interior points in the South to all of
the allied and neutral countries of
Europe, and to the neutral countries
bordering upon Germany and Aus
tria.
