place, at Redwood and happening to
see bill advertising the match he
marked to the proprietor, who did not

George Bittrich, the music instruc
tor of Redwood Fails, was down Mon
day and gave the first lessons to mem
bers of the newly organized high
school orchestra. Morgan needs a
band and orchestra, and probably the
best and only way is to have young
folks trained up and we believe thaf
Morgan will be glad to support ma
sical organization of this kind. The
members of the orchestra will take
private lessons and the orchestra vii
begin to practice together as soon as
it is possible for them to do 50. Mr.
Bittrich had wonderful success with
the high school orchestra at Redwood

CONGRESS CAREFUL ABOUT
 MILITARY PROMOTIONS

Washington, May 22. - Especially Congress gives evidence that it is will ing to make General Persing a full gen. eral, and Generals Bullard and Liggett lieutenants generals, but unwilling to make full generals of General March. chief of staff, and General Bliss, one of the peace commissioners of the United States.
 A bill to that effect prepared by the war department and introduced by Rep resentative Dent, retiring chairman of the military committee, bends before Congress
 q believe" said MT. Dent this morn ing, that Congress will promote the fighting generals, Pershing, Bullard and Liggett. There is apparently an indif- ference, however, in the attitude of Congress towards Generals March and Bliss. There have been but few full generals in the history of the United tes-Washington. Grant sherman and Sheridan. Pershing will probably be the next. But March, before the war, was lieutenant colonel, and to jump him from that rank to that of general is jump which Congress apparently judges too great.'
 MT. Dent was asked regarding the promotion of Col William P. Screws to the position of brigadier general He answered.:
 Like all. other members of Congress from Alabama, I am in favor of the promotion. But it is doubtful if it can be put through Congress. I believe that Congress will act respecting promotions of an unusual character only on recom- mendation of General Pershing"

Wilson's HairIs Snow White as Result Of the
 Great Strain at Paris
Cartoon by Harper in Age-Herald Compmented at White House-New Alabama Congressman McDuf-
 fife Has Prize Fighter for Secretary
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington. May 22. - Especially When the President last sailed for Flu rope, he gave evidence of the personal strain under which since -917 he has labored
 His hair, always gray, was almost white. His smile was not spontaneous. His appearance was more dfgnified than when he first came to Washington.
 His hair is now white, according to Representative Dent who, after a visit to France, has returned to Washing ton.
 We saw the President twice." said Mir Dent. "After a completion of our itinerary, we returned to Paris There we were received by the President.
 Come in. gentlemen the chief ex- executive said, and have seats. You have no idea how glad I am to see folks from back home
 Whereas" continued Mir. Dent, I've grouped ourselves about the President, and he, himself, sat in our center. on a stool. For an hour or more we talked.
 T was struck with the fact that the President had grown older. His hair was white. There were lines in his cheeks and about his mouth. He has been under a gfeater strain than even we who have been in personal touch with the strenuous situation incident to war, realized.
 He was mighty glad to see us, ap- parently. Possibly this was due to the fact that we had come to shake hands with him, and tell, him of affairs-lit- tie affairs--in the states. It was prob- ably a relief from the intense strain

HEFLIN TELLS OF
 HIS RECESS WORK

Washington, May 22.- (Special) Representative Heflin of the Fifth Ala bama. regarding his activity during the recent recess, made public the follow ing statement today:
 q rested for about a week at home and from then on made speeches in be- half of cotton and the Victory Loan, and a league of nations. I urged diversi- fled farming on a larger scale than ever, the reduction of cotton acreage, the building of chain of warehouses, reaching from one end of the cotton belt to the other, and I insisted that everybody in the cotton belt should back the farmer in his determination to obtain a profitable price for his cotton.
 Our farmers, merchants and bank CTS are united in this cotton holding movement as never before. They have handled this crop in a more intelligent and business-like manner than any oth- CT crop. The old one-crop system in the south is gone. Our farmers have food and feed supplies in abundance. and this is the fruit of diversified farming. The speculator and spinner with New York banking connections can no long
 CT force the farmers of the south to sell cotton when the price is unprofita- ble.
 '"rhe southern farmer now produces
 what he used to have to pay for with
 cotton. and if he needs some money, he can borrow it on his cotton warehouse receipt and keep his cotton off the market. This situation accounts for the
 most successful cotton holding move
 ment ever conducted in the cotton growing states. Necessity forced us to | inaugurate this thorough and system l atic cotton holding movement. com 1 bination of bear speculators and cer- | tain foreign and domestic spinners, ! formed for the purpose of beating down ! the price of cotton when the law of supply and demand warranted higher | price. made it necessary for the farm | CTS of the cotton growing states to unite their froces in order to prevent the sacrifice of their cotton at prices l far below the cost of production. No l fair minded man in the east, the north or the west will criticise the cotton producer of the United States for try I ing to provide for his own household by | using his own good sense and strength | to obtain profitable price for his | cotton. There is not enough cotton in l the United States now to supply the demand of American and foreign spin liners until the first of September, and the crop this year will be smaller than | last year Cotton acreage is greatly re- l duced. Warehouses are being built on a larger scale than ever and diyersi- fled farming is the order of the day in Dixie:''
