Road Petitions Up to
 HighlUny Department

The petitions for the creation of a road improvement district to em- brace practically all the territory in Lee County for the purpose of constructing more than one hundred miles of hard surface roads have been filed with the State Highway Department, and as soon as the petitions are acted upon favorably by the department they will be placed in the hands of the township committees for circulation among the property owners At the big mass meeting held in Marianna more than a week ago the citizens unanimously endorsed the project At that time it was thought the petitions could be placed in circulation immediately, but upon investigation into the pro- visions of the Alexander act, under which the proposed district is to be organized the fact was disclosed before the petitions can be circulated the plans must be submitted to the state highway department for its ap- proval It is expected this feature of the matter will be disposed of within few days, following which the petitions will be circulated

HOW DO RATS CARRY EGGS
A Mystery Which Is UnsoIved After
 Hundreds of Years.

How do rats carry eggs? Some time ago the query was put to the most famous of all American nat uralists, John Burroughs, He ad- mitted that he didn't know. He had heard an explanation, current among farmers, but he couldn't say that it was the correct one.
 The mystery of how rats carry eggs is unsolved Officially" after hundreds of years of conjecture. That eggs disappearing are borne of by rats is proved clearly enough by the discovery of whole, un- cracked eggs beneath floors, in par titions and other hiding places. In farming communities various the ories are advanced, and every now and then some one actually claims to have seen the rats at work. These eye-witnesses of the most unusual thing say the rat holds the egg be- tween chin and forefeet, or hugged tightly between the forefeet; that he tumbles off elevations, deftly pro- tectlng the egg as he falls; that us- ually there is crowd of rats about to drag the egg rat, lying on it's back, by the tial across the floor to to the hole.
 Others say the rat carries the egg held between tn folds of skin under the chin without assistance The general testimony, however would explain such conflict of opinion. It is agreed that rats work in gangs when egg carrying and that it is difficult to determine from distance exactly what they are dong among themselves. It is said there is always much spueeling but whether because some are get ting hurt, or by contrast are hugely enjoying themselves is not indi- cated.

FORD IS DAMAGED ' SIX CENTS WORTH
THIS IS AWARD GIVEN AUTO MACNATE; IN HIS FAMOUS
 MILLION DOLLAR LIBEL SUIT AGAINST CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Mount Clemens, Mch., Aug. IA A jury tonight awarded Henry Ford six cents damages against the Chi cago Tribune for calling him an an archist.
 Orvey Hulett, foreman of the jul. ry, said they took mine ballots that I can remember" The first one, according to Leonard Measel, an other juror stood eight to four in favor of awarding Mir. Ford some damages.
 Attorney Alfred J. Murphy, for MT. Ford said:
 "The important issue in this case has been determined favorably to the plaintiff. He has been vindicat. ed.
 Money damages were entirely subordinate and were not sought by MT. Ford. He stands not only vin- dicated, but his attitude as an Amer ican citizen has been justified after trial which raised every issue against which ingenuity and re- search could present. His friends are entirely satisfied"
 Weymouth Kirkland, one of the lawyers for the Tribune, said:
 "We consider it a victory for the reason that Attorney Alfred Lucking, in closing for MT. Ford, said that anything less than substan- tial damages would be defeat for his client"

MATCHED COTTON
 WITH INCUBATOR
GREEN ROLLS PLACED IN MA CHINE AND WITHIN FEW HOURS BALE OF COTTON IS PRODUCED

Memphis, Aug. 13.--The first bale of cotton to be brought to Memphis from the >tri-state and incidentally the first bale in the world, it is claimed to be opened from green bolls by artificial heat is on exhibi- tion at the Memphis Cotton Ex- change, having been grown from April planting on the Cottondale (Miss.) plantation owned by Messrs. Franklin and Green.
 The cotton was classed as1 3-16 inch staple, the bale weighing 365 pounds.
 The gren bolls, lacking about three weeks of maturity, were picked Mon- day morning at the Cottondale plan tation, beginning at 4:30 a. m. They were placed on the train at 3 o'clock, reaoched Memphis Monday afternoon, and were the hands of the Standard Cotton Company of America, Front and Keel, at 6:30 o'clock
 This company recently advertised in the Commercial Appeal for 5000 pounds of green bolls. They offered $1 ,000 for this tonnage, which they received yesterday
 The Standard Cotton Company, through their new process of incu- tion, which they claim is the first actual test made in the world requir- ed one hour in which to turn out the dry cotton. They say the loss in moisture is 50 per cent.
 According to w. Spence Harvey, president of the company. the cotton has been classed as perfect, as well as the analysis of the seed. The bale will not be sold, but will be held for exhibition.
 President Spence states that the 365 pound bale did not consume the entire 900 pounds of green bolls. Experiments by the company have been conducted in Memphis for three years and the claim is made that the cotton is purer and of stronger fiber.
