MISS SIMPSON SURE
 OF POSTOFFICE JOB

Washington, March 6.--(Special) ) Miss Elizabeth Simpson is very lucky lady if continued possession of the postoffice at Hartselle may be consid cred luck.
 The government has been trying tc find a successor to Miss Simpson for two years the coming May. The chances are that the government will not have succeeded at the expiration of several years following May. Miss Simpson was postmaster when the Underworld Hobson campaign broke upon a peaceful state. Miss Simpson along with the great majority of the
 people, thought that Senator Under.
 wood should be elected. She accepted the post of secretary of the Underwood
 committee at Hartselle, and at that post did very effective work
 Following the election, some patron of the office, possible piqued at the result, complained regarding the serv. ice of the postmaster. The department ordered an inspection, and the inspec- tor recomm tended that a successor to Miss Simpson be named. At the in-
 stance of Senator Underwood another
 inspection was authorized. The second inspector, also, made an adverse re- port.
 The difficult job was thereupon un- could guarantee improved service over that rendered by Miss Simpson. One or more names suggested found little

 q had been a great sufferer from stomach trouble and of late had such severe pains that was told was rheuma- l. tism. The pain affected my shoulder and back and my side hurt me contin- ually. My food fermented and I could not eat meats or vegetables without great distress afterwards. I had head aches and was very dizzy at times, so much so that I could not go upstairs. The pain from the rheumatism was so bad that I was unable to do my house. work and no one will ever know the suffering I underwent. I was so bad that it was with great difficulty that l could put on my shoes. I had taken al- most every kind of medicine, but never seemed to get any real relief. Finally. after I had been reading about Plant Juice helping a man that suffered as I did, I bought bottle. I have been using it now for the past four weeks, and in fact, have only taken two bottles, and I can eat any kind of food without distress. The rheumatism is entirely gone and, thank God, am once more a well woman, and l give Plant Juice entire credit for my restoration to health."
 Plant Juice is sold in Birmingham at Nortons Drug store, Fourth avenue and Twentieth street.-Adv.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Etiquette In Elevators

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Tn regard to a communica tion from S. D. Cowen, dated February 2S. 1s19 entitled. Courtesy in Elevators
 The practice of removing hats in ele- vators carrying women passengers has long been source of considerable speculation and some amusement, and earnestly desire to be informed as to the necessity for or the Justification of said practice.
 If it be the correct thing to remove hats in elevators, why, in the name ol common sense. should it not be just as obligatory to remove hats in street cars, Pullman cars day coaches. stores and private offices. I have seen some of the same gentlemen who always re- move their hats in elevators sit all day in their private offices wearing theii hats in the presence of stenographers and clerks Cladies alb; and. in addi- tion. smoking cigars and "segareetsf of more or less villianous odor

CHILDERSBURG

Childersburg. March s.-tspecial) River Baptist Ministers conference was held Monday with the Baptist church at Lincoln.
 The following ministers were pres ent: President, F. G. Mullen, Talla- dega; secretary, J. Henry Bush. Chil dersburg; Rev. w. c. Cooper Pell City; Dr. B. F. Giles, Birmingham; Rev. E. A. Trawick, Lincoln; Rev. J. w. Wade, Lincoln, and Rev. R. c. Medaris, enlist ment man from Anniston.
 Discussions of home and foreign mis- sion needs took up most of the time and after full discussion of the mat ter the conference decided to recom mend to the 43 Baptist churches in the association that a minimum offering of $2500 be made for home and foreign missions in the ratio of $500 for for eign missions and 5000 for home mis- sions. Each pastor or some worker in each church Is to be written and a committee Is asked for in each church to secure an offering from every mem Der of the several churches in the as sociation.
 There is some anxiety manifest here on account of so little farm work hav- ing been done. Farmers are very anX- ious about the matter. The continued rains have prevented any work in that direction.
 Jacob Lan6ers is a little improved this week. He has been quite sick for a number of days.
 Mrs Mamie Mallory and J. H. Stewart are both still confined to their beds.

LIVINGSTON

Livingston, March s-(Special.) )-The ty, composed of F. T. Allison, presi- dent: T. V. White, c. A. Elliott. II. L. Horn and w. F.. Bennett, were sworn iii and assumed charge of the affairs of the county Monday morning. The first thing done by the board was to order a thorough audit made of the books and accounts of the county to learn the true financial condition that thes may know better what will be neces- sary in raising and disbursing reve- nue. issuing bonds and building good roads.
 County Agent W. B. Curtis has called a meeting at the courthouse for Satur- day of farmers and stock raisers of the county to organize pig clubs and calf clubs and launch the plan of cooper ative hog and cattle shipments. This is to assist the farmers who have only a small number of hogs and cattle to get the benefit of the best market prices by shipping together.
 Continued rains and bad weather will make the farming operations at least 30 days late. No fall or spring blowing has been done. as the lands here have been soaked since last Sep- tember and 1t is still raining.
 Osment & Gardner sold a 1000-acrs black land farm near Sumterville to three Tennessee farmers this week. They will take possession at once and will engage in raising live stock, hay and grain on large scale. These par ties say they have travelled extensively throughout Alabama and Mississippi looking for a location but found noth- ing comparable to the black lime lands of Sumter county for growing grain. grasses and live stock.

favor at Washington. And then a com retitive examination was agreed upon. The man who won out was Walter Speegie.
 Now. Mir. Speegle, according to re- port is an excellent man. But he is republican. So when the President sent his name to the Senate, the Sem ate was so clogged with unfinishe ed business. Incident to the republican fil- ibuster, that the appointments could not he acted upon. So Miss Simpson continues to hold office and will con tinue until her successor Is confirmed
 Although the next Senate will have a republican majority, that majority would not confirm a man against whom either senator from his state should file objections It seems, therefore, that Miss Simpson may sleep comfortably foI the next year or two.

PUTS NEW PHASE
 ON COTTON TRADING

Washington, March 6.-(Special) The rider" attached to the resolution carrying s1,00O, ,OO0,000 by means of which to guarantee western farmers S2.26 per bushel for their wheat, will compel cotton exchanges to deliver on demand spinable cotton.
 When the rider was pending, sharp division as to its merits developed in southern states. Big cotton men, es- pecially owners of cotton mills and spinners, favored it. Farmers as rule and speculators opposed it. The former contended that the rider" would force exchanges to abandon crooked business. The latter contended that 1t would de- stroy the cotton business of the south.
 Cotton exchanges opposed it bitterly. Under former conditions, cotton as a tangible object, was seldom observa ble, and laws were so framed that if ever a man who purchased cotton on mar gin, demanded delivery, the exchanges could deliver any one of 30 gradesT sev- eral of which were nonspinable grades. Under the new statute, delivery of cot ton when demanded must be from a grade capable of being spun.
 Much of the opposition from people in Alabama was traceable, it is. be- leved, to fear lest the rider would put exchanges out of business. As matter of fact. no sponsor of the measure wanted to eXtermlnate the exchanges which are legitimate markets. They simply wanted the exchanges when called to deliver the grade of cotton which buyer had purchased.
 New Orleans will have little trouble In abiding by the new law. Its ex- changes are in the cotton belt and can acquire all the cotton, actual cotton, they may require in making deliveries. New York, where no cotton is, will sui fer. Its avenue of eScape%win be in the operation of warehouses at south ern seaports-Charleston Savannah, Jacksonville, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston.
 That such warehouses will be opened in the near future is regarded by best posted members of Congress as cer- tain

GREENVILLE

Greenville, March G. - (SpecialD Miss Clara Powell. secretary of the Greenville chapter of the American Red Cross, is in receipt of very com plimentary letter from the director for the canteen service of the gulf division of the American Red Cross.
 W. J. Beeland, chairman of the But Ter county council of defense. has sent out the following announcement to citi- zens of Butler county:
 "Gov. Thomas E. Kilby has issued a proclamation calling all the people of the state, including farmers, merchants. bankers, business and professional men, to come together in schoolhouses, com munity centers, public halls or other places of assembly for the purpose of considering the reduction of cotton acreage, the holding of the present un- sold supply for profitable and remuner- ative prices and particularly to con sider plans for campaign for better diversification of crops with special reference to an increase of food produc- ton.
 q am, therefore, appealing to the citizens of Butler county to come to- gether at their respective places of meeting at 10 o'clock Saturday, March 8, 1919, for the purpose of carrying out the programme called for in the gov ernor's proclamation.
 Tt is the duty of every citizen to attend this meeting
 s. Williamson, representative of the treasury department, is stationed at the Butler county courthouse to assist in making out income tax reports. A large number of people from the county have taken benefit of this opportunity to se- cure expert assistance.
 On Saturday March 8, the Red Cross finn entitled The Red Cross and Your Boy" will be shown at the Plaza thea tre under the auspices of the Green ville.brahch of the Butler county chap ter of the American Red Cross.
 The delay in showing this picture to Butler county people is due to the fact that during the war all Greenville thea tres were closed but as they have opened this rare opportunity is eX- tended to the people of the county.

been donated to the Red Cross by the Queen Esther girls of the Simpson Methodist church. The gift is sincere elevators carrying women passengers who invariably removed their hats but continued to puff dense clouds of smoke and sometimes eXpectorated on the floor of the lift" l have always wondered which mark of respect the ladies would have appreciated the more-the uncovered heads with the smoke "obligato, or the covered heads with momentary cessation of the stifling fumes.
 have heard ladies discuss this prac tice and just about as many disap- proved of it as took the opposite view. And when the elevator is crowded 1t requires more room for man to stand with uplifted arm carrying a hat in his hand, which at least is one argu- ment in favor of the covered head.
 If this practice is a proper and eX' pected mark of respect for women, why is it done in only one class of con veyance-to-w wit, the elevator? Surely there are other places where ladies are present in as close proximity, and even in greater numbers Ca lunch room, as one nstance) and yet in that place our modern Chesterfields utterly ig- nore the presence of ladies and re- tain their lids until they seat them selves.
 Again, think it may be stated with out fear of contradiction, that at no other time, or in no other place. have ladies and gentlemen been closer to- gether than during the recent over crowded condition of the Birmingham Railway, Light & Power company $ cars; but no uncovered heads were ever in evidence. Pourquoi?
 Personally I can see no sense in this practice, which seems to me to be more ''honored in the breach than in the observance and until some mora convincing argument in favor of the practice is presented It'ha'e me dopts" that I shall see the error of my ways.
 Just one word more. I have noticel that some gentlemen who always scrupulously remove their hats in ele- vators, invariably retain their seats in crowded cars, even with ladies (sometimes elderly ones) standing be- side them in the aisles. Que voulez- vous? Yours very truly,
