The Mobile Daily Register is to be
congratulated on it's 80th annual
trade edition, which it issued Septem-
Der 1st, in several sections, each in
closed in a handsome Autographed
cover. The contents are unusually
interesting and contain much valua-
bic data. In all the Registers trade
edition is the best yet. The Mobile
Morning Register has become one of
the South's greatest morning dailies,
not only carrying all the national news
and the happenings es h;ssissippi,Ala-
bama and other Southern States, but
the latest morning news. It's edito-
rial page is one of the brightest, most
capable, and it's editorial features
are the most entertaining. The Regis
ter might have its equal South, but
certainly not it's superior. In every
way it is a Newspaper.

ADOPTS HUSBANDS WAR BABY
Mrs. Spiker Takes Little One Into Her
Home As Her Own.

Baltimore, March l3.-Appearing in
the Circuit Court yesterday with her hus-
band, Perley Spiker, who Was the father
of the child made the object of the pro-
ceedings, Mrs Cora Spiker obtained
from Judge Stanton the legal adoption
by herself and husband of Alfred Ray
Spiker, the infant offspring OF her hus-
band and Emily Knowles, which was
born in England in the closing period,
Of the war. The parties to the proceed
ings and who all were present, were
Mr. and Mrs. Spiker, young Guy Spiker
who recently married Miss Knowles, and
the English girl herself.
The attorney for the petitioners re-
lated to the Court the dual relationship
PerIey Spiker had sustained to the
women as the husband of one and war
time sweetheart Of the other. He said
Spiker and his wife were anxious to
assume the care and education of the
child as Spiker, who is a steel worker,
earning SI00 week, was better able
financially TO care for it than the mother.
The baby's mother, when questioned
by Judge Stanton, said she voluntarily
gave up the child because her husband s
means would not admit of it being given
the opportunity In life which it deserved
and which, she believed, would be pro-
vided for her child through its adoption
jointly by its father and his wife.

press the argument upon the court.
At this point tho court objected direct
ing Mr. Weinberger ia change the line of

that he was fully within his rights and
asked the court TO retract the adnoni-
ton. While the motion was argued the
court room was cleared Of spectators
When the trial was resumed the affair
had been smoothed out, and Mr.. Vein
