vide American business men with

FEDERAL trade commission, under "a
democratic administration has not
accomplished the purpose for which
IL was created. This commission
properly organized and It's duties

climate business.
There should be no persecution Of

MERCHANT MARINE:
The national defense and our for
eign commerce require n merchant
marine OF the best type OF modern
snip flying the American flag, mann
ed by American seamen, owned by
private capital and operated by pri-
vate energy.
We endorse the sound legislation
recently enacted by the republican
congress that will insure the promo
tion and maintenance of the Amer
icdn merchant marine.
We favor the application OF the
workmen's compensation acts to the
merchant marine.
We recommend that all ships en-
gagged In coastwise trade and all
vessels of the American merchant
marine shall pass through the PAN
anna canal without premium tolls
The standard of living and the
standard OF citizenship of the people
are Its most precious possessions and
the preservation and elevation OF
those standards is the first duty oS
our government.
The immigration policy of the
United States should be such as to
insure that the number OF foreign
ers in the country at any one time
shall not exceed that which can be
assimilated with reasonable rapidity
and to favor immigrants whose
standards are similar to ours.
The selecuve tests that are al
present applied improved by request

complete exclusion OF mental defec-
tives and OF criminals and of D
more effective inspection applied as
near the source OF immigration M
possible as well as at the port OF

economic distribution OF our alien
population. To facilitate govern .

ESTATE or COL. ARMSTRONG
Through Agency of Hayes & Jackson,
Magnificent Farm Is Sold at 1920
and $500 Per Acre-is Located at
AshWood

From Wednesdays Daily Herald.D
Breaking all records for farm prices
on large acreage the sale of the
farm of Col. Ed Armstrong at Ash
wood marks new epoch in the histo-
ry of real estate transactions in Mau-
ry county. This magnificent farm of
1872 acres ,was sold through the well
known real estate agency of Hayes &
Jackson to w W. Johnson, of Flor
ence, Ala. and Ross Yeier, of Wayne
county, Tennessee, the total considera-
ton being sl13,6s0. Part of the lands
were sold at $500 and part. that at
Ashwood, at $500 an acre.
In price per acre it has never been
exceeded on purely farming lands in
this county, but many experts have
declared that the 10 acre tract at
Ashwood of Col Armstrong was per-
haps, acreage considered, the finest
body of land in this county. Col. Arm
strong purchased this land in 1896 at
500 an acre, which was a record price
for that season and many of his
friends thought that he had been
''stung," but subsequent events justi-
fed his faith. He purchased the other
tract in 1892 for what was then coHsid-
cred remarkable price.
The purchasers of the property are
me9 of wealth. Mr.. Johnson is a re-
tired farmer and capitalist 81 Flor
ence, Ala. while Mr.. Yeiser is one of
the most extensive and prosperous
farmers and stock traders of Wayne
county! Mr.. Yeiser is a brother of DR..
Watt Peiser, the well known physician
of this city, and Mr.. Johnson is
brotherin-law.
The sale of this property was quite |
a distinct achievement in real estate |
circles. Hayes & Jackson had thirty |
day option or contract of sale with |
Col. Armstrong. They thought they |
had the deal closed for the sale. but
at the last moment il fell through be- /
cause on little hitch. Then they Sc
cured a twenty-four hour extension
and by working overtime put through /
the final details sOf the transaction
within that time limit.

FOR POISON IVY SUFFERERS
Thorough Washing of Exposed Parts
Is Recommended by the American
Forestry Association.

This Is the time of year when the
poison ivy cases begin to reach for a
record as people get out into the open
and explore the wonders Of nature
says the American Forestry assOcia-
ton. But poison ivy is not thing TO
be fooled with and the association
points out that soap and hot water in
wholesale applications comprise the
best measure of relief.
The poison, after being deposited
in the skin, requires some time TO
penetrate, and if this penetration can

eruption and irritation will not result
While exposed parts should be
ceanSed in this manner as soon after
exposure as possible, it is worth while
to make the attempt even u or 20
hours afterward in the hope that at
least a portion of the poison may be
removed. A heavy lather should be
produced and the washing should be
continued several minutes. Severe
sCrubbing with a brush is not advisa
BILE, but several swabs or small COM
presses of gauZe may be used. dis
cardng each in turn. so that the
poison may not be distributed by the
cloth.
Bathing with alcohol diluted with
an equal amount of water Is also an
effective preventive. Where exposure
has been more general, bath for the
entire body, followed by change of
clothing is good preventive measure.
The hair should not be neglected.
Bathing, If not accompanied by sufti-
cient changing of water or rinsing.
may result in spreading the rash to
skin that had not been infected. In
cases that are at all serious a physi-
clan should be consulted.
Scores of remedies and prescrip-
lions are more or less in popular IA
vor. the American Forestry assocla-
ton says, but in spite of the claims
they assert that no specific treatment
for poisoning from ivy and sumac is
yet available. Ointments should not

Lieut.. G. GarrOod of the Royal Fly

He went to bomb German ambush

days before he found his way through
a region infested with wild animals

fronted by an ugly black animal with
vicious tusks. 1t was dusk and he
climbed a tree TO pass the night.

British Silver Currency

Owing to the rise in the price of sill.
yer, the British government finds II
impossible to mint silver coins except
at great loss, so 1t plans to reduce
the fineness. Silver which before the
war cost less than 30 pence an ounce,
now costs about SO pence Irrespective
~ 5000 and $1.76). The British money
has been 0,925 fine; 1t is purposed to
make 1t 0,500 fine in the future. With
silver at present prices, the intrinsic
value Of a shilling O.5O0 fine will be
greater than that Of shilling O925
fine before the war.
