fi"oVef IS the one man that can attract votes from the oposite party, whichever should nominate him.
 Party politics is in bad order; the per- lormances in Congress have sickened alt thoughtful men; the sacrifice of vital in- ter ests to partisanship has been too flag rent
 There is great work of reconstruction to be done during the next four or five years, and it will need the leadership of man built on the scale of twelve inches to the foot. Most of the men named for the presidency are political cordwood, nor presidential timber; before June ar rives they will be weighed and found wanting.
 Meanwhile Mir. Hoover is not a candi- date; he has taken no steps to place his name before either party; not even his personal friends have been asked to make an effort on his behalf anything that is being done is spontaneous. He stands aside as yet not anxious for the can. but like good citizen, ready to obey it if it have the authentic note of patriotic duty. He admired and supported Roose- welt; he admired and supported President Wilson at a time when it was every Americans bounden duty to rally to the chief executive; he is liberal, a man of progressive ideas, a practical humani- tartan; just man, able to recognize the
 
 gle, but neither mollycoddle nor pus- syfoot; he has seen enough of foreign ways to appreciate American ideals the more; he is the exponent of virile Amer icsnism that stands between the gushing ipternationalism of Woodrow Wilson and the frothy provinci2lism of Hiram John son."
 Can we not awaken to productive activ- ity and cause such widespread expression of the popular demand for MT. Hoover's continued service that he will be com pelled to heed it. and the leaders of a great political party will be compelled to respond to it by his nominatSon.
 We should not only organize to this snd, but Hoover should be bombarded with letters and telegrams from all classes or our citizenship, urging him not only to accept the nomination if rendered, but to permit his friends to seek it for him. Yours very. truly, RUSH NJ. HESS. Birmingham, February 24, 1920.

DON'T SUFFER
 WITH NEURALG|A
Use Soothing Musterole

When those sharp pains go shooting through your head, when your skull seems as if it would split, just rub alittle Musterole on your temples and neck It draws out the inflammation, soothes awaythe pain, usually giving quickrelief.
 Musterole is clean, white ointment, made with oil of mustard. Better than a mustard plaster and does not blister.
 Many doctors and nurses frankly recommend Musterole for sore throat, bronchitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, congestion, pleurisy, rheuma- tism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet-colds of the chest (it often prevents pneu- monia). It is always dependable.

ID RENEW INTEREST
 IN SHEEP GROWING
Farmers Cooperative Com nlittee Decides to Carry
 Out Double Programme

At a meeting of the farmers co-opera- tive committee of the Civic Association yesterday it was not only decided to go after the convention of the Southern Pea nut Growers Association but to renew the drive to increase, the number of sheep growers in Alabama. In view of the fact that the last legislature of Ala bana enacted laws for the protection of this industry it is thought that at this season of the year the drive should be renewed. c. l.. Harold, secretary man ager of the Civic Association, was in- structed to take up the matter with the animal husbandry department at the Ala oama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn with view to working up a lively at tendance of the sheep division of the Alabama Live Stock Association which meets in Montgomery this spring Mem bers of the local committee will attend and will try to put at the disposal of the farmers as much information as possible on the breeding of sheep and goats.
 It is expected that more than 300 dele gates will attend the convention of the Southern Peanut Growers Association. Which will probably he held on April II and b, and they will come from Virginia. North and South Carolina, Georgia Florida, Mississippi Tennessee and Alabama.
