For more than a dozen years differ ent states of the union have been pass ing and experimenting with workmen compensation laws with the result that there Is a. large variety already trleo out from which the Alabama legisla- tors may select the features they be- lieve best suited for conditions in this state. From the Ohio law, which en- braces the state insurance feature, to Michigan, which does not include H., there is a wide range within which the Alabama law makers may investigate and make their selection.
 The bill now before the legislature, prepared by the Alabama law reform committee appointed in conformity with joint resolution adopted by the 191E legislature, forms the basis upon which the final act will probably be built This commission consisted Of Governor Charles Henderson, Chief Justice John c.

termining the burden of taxation
which must fall upon the people of
the country in general We are act
ing, not for private corporations, but
in the name of the government and
the public, and must assess our re-
sponsibility accordingly. For it is
neither wise nor feasible to take care
of increases in wages of railroad en-
ployes at this time by increases in
freight rates. 1t is impossible at this
time, until peace has come and normal
conditions are restored, to estimate
what the earning capacity of the rail-
roads will be when ordinary conditions
return There is no certain basis,
therefore, for calculating what the in
creases Of freight rates should be and
it is necessary, for the time being, at
any rate, to take care of all increases
in the wages of railroad employees
thru appropriations from the public
treasury.
ain such circumstances it seems
clear to me. and / believe will seem
clear to every thoughtful American,
including the shopmen themselves,
when they have taken second thought,
and all wage earners of every kind,
that we ought to postpone questions
of this sort until normal conditions
come again and we have the oppor-
tunity for certain calculation as to
the relation between wages and Sthe
cost of living. 1t is the duty of every

''Let me. add, also, that the position
which the government must in con-
science take against against general
increase in wage levels, while the
present exceptional and temporary
circumstances exist, will, of course,
not preclude the railroad administra-
tion from giving prompt and careful
consideration to any claims that may
be made by other classes of employees
for readjustments believed to be prop

COVE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

a School begins Monday, September l,
We hope to enroll large number the
first day If all parents realized the
Importance of starting the children
the first day and sending them regu-
larly, the work would be much easier
and there would be much more accom-
plished.
Irregular attendance is one of the
greatest difficulties the teacher has to
overcome. The loss is greater than
just the time missed. If student
loses half the time he loses much
more than half the work. He loses
interest, gets behind, gets discour-
aged. The class has gone over some
thing that he does not understand,
and the teacher has to either go back
with him or let him drag along in the
class without knowing what is behind
him. He is out of line, out of tune,
out of harmony with the school work,
and causes a great deal of trouble and
does very little good.
Parents, am pleading for regular
attendance. You may have to sacri-
flee to send your children regularly,
but if an education is worth anything
to your child, make the sacrifice and
let him have it. Can we not, brave
and noble people, industrial and eco
nomical, make the small sacrifice me-
cessary to fit our children for all that
is best in life. 1t is our first duty 70
cur children for whom we live and in
and thru whom we must live after we
are dead. Shall we leave them money
or the power to produce the money,
and little of that higher wealth
which can never be measured in terms
of minted coin? Our own individual
life is very brief and of little conse-
quenee. Let us live and work for pos
terity.
If you value the educational well
fare of your child, send him every day.
Most of us have come to realize the
value of an education. The study of
large number Of actual cases by the
u. S. Department of Education has
shown that boys leaving school at the
age of ID receive on the average of 81
weekly, their wages increasing grad
ually until at the age of Is they re-
ceive 81 week The boy who con-
tinued in school until he was SIS, it
was found, began work at an average
of $40 weekly. CAN wages have in
creased greatly since this investiga-
ton, but the proportion remains the
same.) At the age of 20, the boy who
left school early earned $3.50 week,
while the one who kept at his studies
longer earned SIS. Five years after
this the former received $12.75 per
week, while the latter received $31.
Up to this time, the total earnings
of the two, from the time they, had
left school was about $500 for the

first and $1,000 for the latter, the
better trained one having earned
$4,000 more in his eight years of
work than the other had earned in IL
years. Many tests of this kind have
been made, which show, from bust
ness point Of view, that today an ed
ucation is an almost Indispensable at
tainment.
This is from monetary viewpoint
only. An education means not only
higher wages and more successful
life, but it means happier, more
noble and a more useful life. An ed
ucation and an upright character are
the best legacies you can leave your
children. Leave them heritage
(which moth and rust cannot corrupt
and thieves are unable to steal"
Make the sacrifice and send them
regularly. Don't discourage the child
and turn him against school life by
sending him only two or three days in
the week and thus compelling him to
fall behind the grade where he should
be. have seen many students who be-
cause of their age and size, insist on
going in grade two or three years
ahead of where they really belong, and
after few weeks of hopeless endeav-
or, become discouraged, disheartened
and dissatisfied, and leave school to
enter a life of toilsome drudgery, with
little hope of success in any line of
work.
No one on the farm, in the shop or
Office would expect to do as much
work in 10 days as he could in 20. The
same applies to school work only in
a greater degree. If the grades on
the students monthly report are
poor, see how many days he was pres
ent and how many absent. The grades
will be determined to some extent, by
the term, the per cent. of attendance

least 90) but it is only so, the district

Good Ginning Means
Good Quality in Cotton

QUALITY is essential in obtaining the highest
prices for Cotton, and is obtained only thru the
combined efforts of grower and ginner This fact
has often been overlooked by growers who ralv
mainly on their staple and give little consideration
too their ginner.
GOOD GINNING is just as important in producif
mgn grade cotton growing the staple Pc \
ginning will spoil good cotton, while good ginnil
will help raise the grade of poor cotton.
THE MENA GIN DOES GOOD GINNING.
