For the Good of
 the Community

IF the state legislature gets through with the gen. | eral revenue bill in time it probably will sub- nit to the voters of Alabama proposition to amend the constitution so that the state may inn prove it's highways As part of the amendment proposition will be bond issue of $25,000,000, the proceeds of which would be used in construct ing and maintaining system of permanent high ways covering the entire state.
 In this connection it may not be amiss to give the results of tests made in New England, in which the relative cost of shipments made by rail and by motor trucks over good roads was the object sought The tests were made by the Fisk Rubber company of Chicopee, Mass, and the analysis of the operations maintained for several months with 34, 2, 3 and 5-ton trucks capacity, without trailers, shows the following:

With the construction of good, permanent high ways in Alabama trucks can be used to transport freight between the jobbing centers and the smaller towns and rural communities at less cost than by rail, if the tests made by the Fisk Rubber company are to be taken as fair samples of the service.
 Not only will the cost be less, but the motor truck service will have the additional advantage of being able to load and unload the freight at the doors of the shippers and consignees. That will in itself be no insignificant advantage It will make unnecessary hauling charges from ra- road depot to store from store to freight depot an expensive item itself sometimes.
 The construction of good roads will make for a better community spirit; it will make visiting easier, improve the social relations of the people in the rural sections and bring them into closer touch with the outside world
 When the revenue bill was in the house of rep resentatives at Montgomery last week it was amended so as to provide that percent of the automobile license tax should be paid into the county treasuries without any direction to what disposition should be made of it by the counties The intention or the IramoTS OI the revenue Dlll, and in this they had the advice and counsel of the state highway engineer, federal highway engin- eers and the automobile owners and dealers when the automobile license schedule and the highway sections reached was that the entire revenues re- ceived from the automobile licenses should be turned into the road fund and the revenue bill so provided.
 The house, however, in which there is consid- erabe element that is against any state highway system that involves the expenditure of any con- siderable sum of money, or removes supervision of the roads from county authorities, suc- ceeded in writing into the revenue bill an amend ment which, if accepted by the senate, will defeat the state highway programme worked out by State Engineer Kear
 If the people of Alabama want good roads they should instruct their senators and representatives to restore the automobile license section as was originally drawn. If they do not want good roads, then let it stand as amended by the house.
 Yours for upbuilding,

He Was Opposed to League of Nations and to Govern ment Ownership of
 Railroads.

King said that Roosevelt was a fountain of knowledge, alert. eager, energetic, interested in every thing. Roosevelt did not attack Will son and his policies to gain the presi- dency but because he thought things were going wrong. MT. Roosevelt did not believe in leageu of nations. There were too many creeds involved and there would be continual fight ing as to who was right. The colonel was opposed to government owner- ship of railroads. nor did he enter tain any great fear of anarchistic movements in this country.
 He spent 60 years on earth, said Rev. F. F. Aitken, that the United States should be highly proud of, not alone for the remaining year but for 100 years to come

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 CRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Us. ing Recipe of Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color asd lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother, made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is 50 attractive, use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of oth- CT ingredients by asking at any drug store for bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.-Adv.

SUSPECTS HAVE
 CASE CONTINUED

George Moses of 672 Main street, Nicolas George of 116. South avenue and Added Shebub of 647 Main street, all had their cases continued until tomorrow by Judge Frank L. Wilder in city court this morning, bonds be- ing fixed at s200 in each case.
 Moses Is charged with carrying concealed weapons, and George and Shebub are charged with a breach of the peace. They tried to dispose of the revolver which Moses was carry ing, while he was being questioned by Patrolman Quinn.
 Moses is said to have threatened to kill Mike Joseph and his girl if he ever saw them on the street together. Joseph complained to aPtrolman Quinn who went to a restaurant at 6S4 Main street where he found the three men.
 It is believed that the three may know something of several holdups which have taken place on lower Main street in the past few weeks. The continuance was asked to allow time for further investigation.
