Praises EufauIa

T am just back from Eufaula where had a good time" says Kelly Murphy, and it's no wonder the Eufaulians think so much of their home town, as it is certainly a lovely place. I never saw it looking prettier. The houses, the yards. the streets were in such fine condition. A month back there was a tear that the crop shortage on account of the seasons would be serious, but now they are in good shape and corn and cotton and peanuts and velvet beans are all growing in atwonderful a way.

KIPLING,s STORIES REJECTED

From the Kansas City Post.
 A Bristol publisher named Arrow smith many years ago received some stories from India, with a letter which made the publisher imagine the writer had too high an opinion of himself. He therefore rejected the manuscripts, and regretted his action to the day of his death. because the young man happened to be Rudyard Kipling.
 Another publishing house has the record of having declined Stevenson, Barrie. Kipling and Crockett. In fact Stevenson had no light task in selling Treasure Island"

New Loans for Railroads
 Receive Official Approval

THE railroads have been handi-
 0 capped by lack of funds, but they will soon be in position to pur- chase new equipment and make exten- sive improvements.
 Seventeen million dollars is the amount in round numbers to be ap- piled to the transportation lines out of the revolving fund of three hundred million dollars provided by the trans portion act. Of this, five million dollars has already been distributed, making total of twenty-two million dollars.
 The Illinois Central is to receive $4,551, ,750 for the purchase of rolling stock, now much needed. This will include one thousand refrigerator cars for the transportation of perishable food.
 Two million dollars will be granted as a loan to the North Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio road to assist in the immediate financing of press ing maturities.
 A loan of $135,0 900 has been ap- proved for the Aransas Harbor Terminal roadroad for the reconstruc- tion of an extensive section of its line between Aransas Pass and Port Aran- sas, Tex, which was damaged by hurricane. This work will make available a port on which the United States has expended millions of dol Lars and will afford . more direct and expeditions route for shipments of oil from Mexico, upon which large section of Texas is increasingly dependent.
 Other loans will be asked for before the end of the year and they will doubtless be granted. The railroads will not be allowed to break down for want of money.

Rainbow Veterans Make
 a Handsome Turnout

THE Rainbow Association com
 0 pleted it's first annual conven- tion with an imposing parade yester- day. Although the marchers appeared without uniform, the stalwart young men, who distinguished themselves in the world war, stirred the throngs looking on by their patriotic bearing.
 It was noble body of citizen sol diery and their presence here will not soon be forgot.
 A feature of the parade was the music. Ten bands-all of them large and well uniformed-zwere in line to enliven the occasion. All in all, it was a gala day seldom equaled in this city of military pageants.
 The Rainbow convention transacted it's business in business-like man. ner and conducted themselves indi- vidually with high credit to them selves and to their splendid organi- zation.
 The visitors were evidently well pleased with Birmingham. Our peo- pie are never so we'll satisfied as when they are playing host to heroes of the battlefields.
 The Rainbow Association will, in the course of time, visit us again and it goes without saying that they will always find an enthusiastic welcome.

 Those who know this district best fully realize that coal is the backbone of our prosperity" says Dan Dimick. Co back for any period of years in the history of the district and you will find that when the coal trade was pros porous, Nere was general prosperity in the district
 Coal production is the gauge by which we can read how much steam we are making. so to speak. For that req son hope to see some of the handicaps on our production speedily removed. Car shortage is gradually improvine and the acute phase of the situation is the strike which is at present confined to the commercial, mines. It is not an issue of wages, but a question whether the operators shall surrender the con trol of their mines to agitators. All the country is clamoring for coal; the scarcity is threatening the shut down of industries and the domestic con- sumer is paying for the non-production in higher prices of coal and facing the possibility of being unable to get it at any price this winter
 What I want to know is how long is this district to be held up, it's pros perity checked and it's citizens made to experience financial and physical harm because a handful of agitators are in- sisting that the mines be operated to suit them. regardless of what may hap pen to the rest of us"

LARGEST FERRIS WHEEL ,
TO Be TORN DOWN SOON

PARIS, Oct. 1.-The worlds great
est Ferris wheel. and one OF the great
sights of Paris. is about to be torn
down. There are rumors that the
Eiffel tower. the tallest structure in
the world, is soon to meet the same
fate.
The Ferris wheel. like the Eiffel
Tower, was built on the site of the
great Paris Worlds Fair in 1900. 1t
has carried millions of visitors from
every corner of the globe without
serious accident. 1t has been sold to
an iron merchant who intends to use
the girders in construction in the war
devastated regions of northern
France, but until October 1, the day
when the demalition begins. the great
wheel will continue to turn.
Two years We're required to build
the Ferris wheel. 1t is more than 330
feet high and weighs, with the car
rlages empty, nearly 100000 pounds.
The columns on which il is poised
weigh nearly another million.
Several years ago the Ferris wheel
came into the limelight through n
queer divorce suit filed by the wife
of British officer, who alleged that
he had remained away from their
hotel in Paris for an entire night.
The husbands defense was that he
entered the Ferris wheel late in the
afternoon and that the attendants.
forgetting his presence, turned off the
power while his car was at the top
of the great circle and that he was
forced to spend the night more than
300 feet above ground. He succeeded
in proving his point and the divorce
complaint was dismissed.
