 For the life of me" exclaimed Imo- gene, "I cannot see why you spend so much of your time in your old lodges , believe they are only an excuse to get downtown at night"
 My dear said Andrew. "I am sur prised and pained to hear you speak in such way of so noble an institu- tion. Within the sacred walls of inc lodge are taught all the great moral principles of the ages. the brotherhood of man. universal charity, the protec- tion of the widow the orphan and the helpless regardless of creed or re ligion!"
 Now. listen. Andrew" she exclaimed. " ou are not laying a cornerstone; you are not making post prSndial address. ou need not waste your ritual, 1itany or lodge creed on me- I know better!

Boomer the Nighthawk, flying about over the Green Meadows in the dusk of early evening, kept the wilful young Rab- bit who had run away from the dear Old Briar-patch always in sight. He saw that that wilful young Rabbit was lost and how badly frightened he was.
 Tt will do him good muttered Boom CT. Tt vill do him good. Perhaps-he will learn that he doesn't know as much as he thought he did. The more fright ened he is the more good it will do him. He isn't far from the Old Briar-patch and when he is missed his mother will look for him and it won't take her long to find him."
 Then Boomer thought of Reddy Fox hiding over near a certain patch of sweet clover and flew over to make sure Reddy was still there. He was. Boomer crcled back to watch that lost little Rabbit. He had rested and was beginning to run again. As before, he was running aim lessly. You see. in that tall grass he hadn't the least idea of direction.
 "He is all right long as he doesn' go toward where Reddy Fox is hiding, thought Boomer.
 But just then that lost wilful. little Rabbit did start toward Reddy Fox, and for wonder he began to go straight instead of in circles, as he had been go- ing. This won't do at all, muttered Boomer. If he gets much nearer Red dy Fox, will discover him and that will be the end of him. It begins to look as if I must do something"
 Boomer waited few minutes longer Then. as that wilful young Rabbit kept OF straight toward Reddy Fox and seemed bent on keeping on. Boomer swung up high in the air Then he headed straight down toward the earth right in front Of that young Rabbit, and he came down very fast indeed.
 Now, of course, that wilful young Rab- bit hadn't seen Boomer at all. His eyes were not in the air They were con- cerned only in finding the easiest path through the tall grass. Boom, A dread flu! sound, which seemed to come from almost in his very face, caused him to fall right down flat on his stomach, too frightened to move Boom% Again, 1t came just little above and still in front of him. It was a dreadful sound. At least. it was dreadful to that little Rab- bit, though to you or I it wouldn't have been so dreadful at all. But because he never had heard it before and, of course, hadn't the least idea what made it,, 1t seemed very loud and dreadful. He scrambled to his feet, turned and ran in

SHIPPERS ID MAKE |. THIS A LIVE WEEK ON FREIGHT RATES
Will Try to Prevent Super imposed Assessments on Federal 9 Per Cent
 Advance

A live week in the matter o1 freight rates affecting the Bir mingham district begins today with a hearing before the Ala bama public service commis. sion in Montgomery.
 At this meeting the material men and the iron and steel operators will protest against approving the 25 per cent increase of rates rec entIy granted by the interstate commerce comission.
 Today's hearing is to decide the tentative approval of the recent rate advance pending formal ap- pIication for their permanent ap- provnl on September 16.
 The material men nnd iron and steel men of the Birmingham dis trict will be represented by o. l.. Bum, general manager of the Bir- mingham Traffic Bureau. Mir. BAnn will not present protest against the general application of the 25 per cent rate increase, is being his opinion that intrastate rates should be aligned with the interstate rates. He will contend fo< an exception in the case of rates on building materials and assemblaGe of ore md coal at i'm dustrial plants on the ground that these e-rates were sdyenced discrimi- nately in 1he south under the Me- Adoo war order.. Ills general line of argument, it is understood will be about this:
 Place the rates in question back to where they were on June 24, 1918, prior to the celebrated Me- AdOo order. On this, as n basis, af- fix an advance of 2J per cent, then add the 25 per cent advance rec ently awarded by the interstate commerce commission. v
 The essence of the complaint is that when the McAdOO order was issued the rates on building ma- terfal and ore and coal assemblage sustained a flat raise instead of the per cent raise that was ex- tended to other articles. The flat raise ore and coal of 90 cents ton amounted to much more than the per cent raise on other articles.
 MT. Bunn seeks to strike out that flat raise as discriminatory and penaIizing and allow building material and ore and coal nssem- blaze to stand the same percentage of raise were successiveIy ap- piled to other products.

.Bessemer, August 16.-(Special)- The election for the additional four mill tax, which was voted on Monday failed overwhelmingly. That ballot was in two divisions. three mills being asked by the board of education for school purposes, and one mill by the fire de- partment for improvements in the de- partment. Both measures were de- feated.
 There was light vote boiled with less than 250 votes being cast. With the failure of the citizens to vote the three-mill tax for the public schools, the schools will not be able to run the entire school term, members of the board of education state, unles sthe city will offer some relief.
 We do not feel discouraged by the failure of the three mil tax stated M J. Brooks. president of the board of education the citizens of Bessemer are friendly to education. and some way will be provided for keeping the schools running

MAYOR OF SHEFFIELD
 APPEALS TO PALMER

Sheffield, August 1S.-Asserting that coal which sold for 90 cents per ton at Kentucky mines prior to the war and from $4 to x during the war is now being marketed here at s14 per ton. Mayor Allen J. Roulhac has written Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer in an effort to secure relief and calls upon him to institute criminal proceedings. Despite the claims of operators. the
 mayor writes. that high prices are due
 "entirely to strikes and unsettled work
 ing conditions, when all federal reports
 show the output of coal this year to be
 much greater than at the same period last year. these high prices prevail where there are no strikes nor any recent labor troubles
 Continuing. the official says; "The public 5 standing for it because it must have coal and the Conspiracy among the mine owners is so well organized that II cannot be had anywhere for less.''

There was a fairly successful demon stration against the shorts in the last hour. When quotations rose to high est averages of the day under the impetus of a demand for oils, steels, rails and various miscellaneous spe- cialtieS.
 The sudden advance of prices fol lowed publication of excerpts of Senator Harding's speech of accept ance. The candidates references to the country's transportation needs met with especial satisfaction. Sales amounted to 320,000 shares.
 Industrial conditions brighteneG as a result of the railway wage increases and advices from the more important steel centers, indicated increased pro duction, based on the belief that many new contracts for equipment arc pending.
 Reports of "saturation" in he steel industry met with denials in author itative quarters, but the motor ertup as a whole made indifferent sSpolse to these assurances. Sugar shares were under further pressure, but ral- lied on the firmer tone of allied food issues.
 British exchange continued to move in favor of this market, the French, Belgian and Italian rates also react ing against their home markets. The Bank of England made further rcccv- cry from it's recent low liability 1e- serves and added to it's enormous holdings of bullion.
