NORTHERN FARMERS COMING SOUTHWARK
Seventy-th three North DakotanS Selling Home Farms to Live
 In Alabama = Inquiries

Montgomery, November 13-(Speeial. J. Twenty-three farmers of North Dakota have become tired of that section and are selling their farms with the intention of turning their faces toward the south according to a letter from Henry Lemke of Devils Lake, received by the division of immigration and markets of the state department of agriculture
 MT. Lemke asked F. o. Hootong, su- pervisor of the bureau to advise him where they can find first-class unim- proved lands for mixed farming. He said those associated with him desire to im- prove their lands in their own way. and for that reason prefer lands Tn a good farming section, but which need work before being tillable.
 Other requests for information about Alabama lands received during the week follow:
 L. N. Snodgrass, Box PIP. Bigheart Okla, is interested in Alabama farming lands.
 irving l.. Wright, Hunter Mo. has re- quested Alabama literature, as he is much interested in its agricultural pos abilities.
 The General Farming Corporation, Fraternity building, Lincoln, Neb. wants to get in touch with persons owning large areas of undeveloped lands, espec- ially swamp or overflow lands, ranging from 2o00o acres upward.
 Carl Gunther, 4557 Oakenwald avenue Chicago, H., wants to engage in cattle farming in Alabama, and wants to locate in a section best suited to this character of farming.
 Selmer O. Trihus, Blooming Prairie Minnesota, expects to visit Alabama soon and is greatly interested in seeing the black prairie belt.

DANIELS AND BLANTON
 GET INTO CONTROVERSY

Washington, November 13.-(Special) Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, and Representative Blanton of Texas are engaged in a critical debate respecting the merits of the formers order for circumnavigation of the globe by the entire American fleet next June.
 some time ago Secretary Daniels is- sued such an order and commented on the effect of the long cruise. MT. Elan. ton immediately dispatched an open let ter to the Secretary protesting against the order and declaring that on the cruise enough coal would be consumed to serve the purposes of limitless num- Der of needy families in the United States.
 The Secretary replied. He argued the good effect on the navy which such a. voyage would bring about, and the re- suit of the lasting impression on the nations of the world respecting the grandeur and glory of the American war monsters
 Mr Blanton has not as yet rejoined. But it is safe to say that the impetu- ous Texan will again rally to his guns, In the meantime. the public has appar- ently been enjoying the situation. An order of Secretary Daniels, effective next June, will have very little weight

Makes Curls or "Ear
 Muffs" Stay in Place

You will be glad to learn that you can keep your hair beautifully wavy and curly by using perfectly harmless liquid known to druggists as "silmerine." You need only apply little with clean tooth brush just before doing up the hair. and in three hours or you will be most agreeably surprised with the effect. And this effect lasts for quite a considerable time, so a small bottle goes long way and is quite economical to use. Pure silmerine is really beneficial to Inc hair and there Is greasiness, stck- ness nor anything unpleasant about it. It is good idea to divide the hair into strands and moisten these at time, drawing the brush down the full length
 With the aid of liquid silmerine it is easy Go shape the prettiest Gear muffs" and easily to keep them as placed all day. Just try itl---Adv.

COAL MINE SUGGESTION
 MAY HAVE BEEN JOKE

Washington, November l3.-(SpecialD While Washington regarded the threat # Senators Calder of New York and 1dge of New Jersey, that unless the oal operators mended their ways, the government would nationalize coal hines, either as a practical joke or a )alpable bluff considerable dismay has oeen cveated in the ranks of coal pro- lucers.
 Col. D. B. Wentz of Philadelphia, president of the National Coal associa- ion, has answered in irritable manner he criticism of the senators, and re- specting some of their charges has used nflammatory language. J. D. A. Nor cow, vice president of the association, n an address before the Eastern Ice Manufacturers association, seriously declared the non existence of any emer- ency grave enough to warrant steps such as were suggested by Calder and Edge.
 It is understood that the senators in question regard the result of their ef- fort as good. They have been led to believe that under the threat the opera tors will mend their ways, protesting, while doing so that their ways require no correction. The surface indication, is that the operators have been greatly perturbed irrespective of whether their modus operandi is in need of readjust- ment or not.
 It can be stated with authority that there is no danger of nationalizing the coal mines Senators Calder and Edge are not in favor of the government con trolling any public utility unless it be the postoffice. There is not a govern ment ownership senator in the Senate with the possible exception of Johnson of California and Lafollette of Wiscon- sin. The American Federation of Labor which would put the government in control of the coal mines has no more chance of securing such legislation than has Glenn F. Plumb to ac acquire control of the railroads of the country.
 The idea prevails as stated that Cal der and Edge were joking or bluffing. But there is no duobt but that they threw a scare into ranks of the pro- ducers. The National Coal association was considerably "up in the air" This is witnessed in the quick responses of it's highest officials, the one angry and other conciliatory.

FIND SURE DEATH
 FOR PEACH TREE RQRER

Washington, November 13.-(Special) The department of agriculture puts it's tamp of approval on the para dichlo- 'obenzene treatment for the eradication If the peach tree borer.
 It is estimated that the borer gener- lily does damage approximating s6, )0O annually, and that $2,o00,00O is 'pent annually in fighting him. The lew method was used extensively in Georgia the past season, and the de- 1artment says that it was very effec- i've, and means the elimination of this pest in the near future
 The old method of fighting the borer was most elementary. ditch was dug around the tree, and the grub picked put with knife. By the new method, the insecticide is put in the ground around the tree and covered in that the gas might be held. It is volatile, and forms gas at temperature of "A de- grees. The gas is five times heavier han air and sinks down through the soil, killing the grub as he is encoun- tered

LACK OF INTEREST IN
 NATIONAL GUARD

Washington, November 13.-(SpeciaL) ) No phase of the general situation is more alarming to the war department than the total lack of interest displayed by the people in the national guard. This branch of the service, which would weld each state of the union into a mo- bile whole, is apparently gone. Legis- lation is being devised to save it.
 The national guard has an enlisted strength of 6T552. It's authorized strength is 1S2,S30. Southern states, as a rule show the smaller proportion of the enlisted strength. Georgia, it is in dicated, is at the very bottom of the list, and Alabama is not far removed from the bottom.
 The following figures are illustra-
