Ish Possible to Legislate
Life and Brains?
Swift & Company is
primarily an organization
of men, not a collection
of brick, mortar, and
machinery.
Packing Plants, their
equipment and useful
ness are only outward
symbols of the. intelli-
gence, life = long expert
ence, and right purpose
of the men who compose
the organization and OF
those who direct it. =
viii not Government direc.
ton Of the packing industry,
now contemplated by Congress,
take over the empty husk of
physical property and equipment
and sacrifice the initiative, ex-
perience and devotion of these
men, which is the life itself of
the industry?
What legislation, what politi-
cal adroitness could replace such
life and brains, once driven out?

c"'ne along. Somehow Leah always fel.
that she would know when her right
one appeared. and now she was sure
that Grover Gary was he. SO she
merely waited for him to get down to
business and make himself acquainted
and ask her to be his wife.
But Grover didn't get down to bust
ness. He found himself tonguc-tied
whenever he tried to talk anything that
even bring himself to the point of in
Producing himself. Lovemaking. in its
initial stages and in all others, IS SO
different from selling insurance, par
ticularly when one has to fight back
bashfulness in the presence Of the
other sex.
One morning Grover got out Of bed
with the determination to do two
things. First, he had made up his mind
to write up" a very wealthy but OBJ
stinate prospect" Next he was going
down to the Union station, introduce
himself and propose to the girl that
was rightfully his.
Office he found a telegram summoning
him to the head Office in Chicago on the
first train that went. The train left be-
fore Leah went on duty at the stand,
and 1t took Grover away for three
years.
Leah watched In vain for the man
that was meant for her. When days
dragged into months and the months
into years she was forced to the con-
clusion that he had deserted her.
"Well, let him co." she sighed. "Just
because he defies Destiny is no reason
why I should. I shall remain true to
him."
It was early in the evening when ne
returned from his three-year absence.
leah was thumbing the first number of
a new periodical, when a familiar voice
inquired:
"Have you the Magnet Magazine'7'
She jumped back and her eyes
opened wide. Then she smiled her first
real smile in three years.
"Why, yes, was just reading 1t.
But it contains an announcement that
it is the first number Of the magazine.
There's a good article In the front !
about Every One Was Meant for Some
One'."
II know It," he said. you see, when
I used to ask you about the Magnet
Magazine I knew very we'll there was
no such publication. 1t simply gave me
an excuse to come In here and talk
with you now and then. Three years
ago 1 went to Chicago and got interest
ed in the publishing business. made
some money, and finally launched the
Magnet I know that article is good,
because I wrote it myself. In fact. it's
a proposal from me to you, and there
fore it has to be good, doesn't it," n

opelika, April -tSpecal)-The fruit crop in this section is now considered to be out of danger of injury by frosts. and with no further disaster the crop in this county this year will be most bountiful. Both peach and apple orchards are in prime condition and the trees are heavily loaded with young fruit. The plum and berry crops are also fine. The blackberry and the Chickasaw plum, both of which grow wild here in great abundance, are always an important source of revenue to the colored people who gather them for market.
 Owing to the excessive rains in Febru- i! ary and March farmers are behind with their farming operations, but with char acteristic vim are making strenuous ef- ] forts to catch up."
