THE REASONS

One time / met chap who said I'd fail.
Since then I've camped along ambitions
trail
With clenching fists and grating teeth.
to show
That chump there were some things he
did not know.
A lot of times. too, met kindly folk
Who said-and made me think they did
not joke
That l was destined for better place
Than then / held in ife's uncertain race
For their dear sakes who thus believed
in me
All that l might have been upon this
Had fortune smiled her sweetest at my
birth.
Now those two reasons, and some more
that /
Can't now recall, explain succinctly why
do the best l can to make success
or my small part in this great mundane
Red Hair.
Some people admire red hair, and
others have it.
Red-headed people are better look
Ing than other people, If they are.
Some are ugly as mud fences.
The horse dealer calls red-headed
people sorrel.
The cattle men call them Devons or
Durhains.
The hog-men call them Durocs.
Ornithologists call them woodpeck-
ers.
The dog men call them Irish settlers.
The poultry men call them Rhode
Island reds.
The artists call them Ttians.
And there you are.
But all the time there are q few peo-
pie around town, including the posses
sor of the pink foliage, who know they
are plain red-heads.
We once knew girl who was so red
headed that the underwriters raised
the insurance rate on her fathers
frame dwelling.
We also knew young man who
couldn't use anything but asbestos
pillow-cases.
And once when he tried TO take an
egg-shampOo the Odor of scorching
omelette was almost unbearable.
This boy finally got job I'm large
city, standing in gas-ditch in a busy
street at night and letting his head
stick out
Red-headed people are supposed TO
be quicker-tempered than other folks.
Our observation is that this Is alb
solutely true, except for brown-haired
or black-haired, white-haired or bald
or tow-headed people.
We do not know why red hair Is
joke.
But IL Is.
Otherwise we should never have
written this srt you wouldn't have
read 1t.
Sucker!

many WouIo WIN War-Von Papen
Says officials Were unneutrai.
IF you succeed In measurably re-
stricting American deliveries of war
materials to the entente until the end
of 1915, we will In all probability have
won the war;"
Gen. Won Falkenhayn, then chief Of
the German general staff, wrote this to
Capt. Franz Won Papen. German mill
tary attache at Washington. In the
spring of that year. The statement
which comprises part of the evidence
submitted by Won Papen in a recent
hearing before parliamentary COM
mission In Berlin, was amplified by
him to the extent that he directed his
efforts to this end.
First Time Made Public.
Capt. Won Papen at the time was
secretly examined by the national as
sembly commission. which also heard
Count Won Bernstorff, the former Ger
man ambassador to the United States !;
his evidence Is only now made public.
Won Papen declared that he was of
the same opinion politically as Won
Bernstorff with respect to the Ameri-
can situation, and so Informed Gen.
Won Falkenhayn when he returned
after his recall from Washington.
IF you do not succeed In keeping
the United States out of the enemy
coalition. you will have lost the war"
Won Papen Informed the chief of staff
He added that tremendous material
and moral assets were at the disposal
Of America.
But" continued Won Papen. these
were so imperfectly appraised here |
deemed II necessary to enlighten Ger
man public opinion concerning them"
The military attache obtained the
consent of Won Jagow. foreign secre-
tary. TO appear before the German edi-
n the German attitude. but Major
NicOll. chief Of the press and espiOn.
lge division of the general staff, OPP
'osed the plan.
After detailing the plans to secure
corner in war materials in the United
States. control of factories, divert la
bor, and prevent munitions from reach
ing the entente. Won Papen said that
the theft of Doctor Albert's portfolio
containing the outlines Of the scheme
brought the secret to the entente's pos
esson.
Criticizes Government.
In the course of further evidence.
ION Papen touched upon the alleged
nneutra attitude of official quarters
n Washington, the American courts
nd political circles, and declared that
he British military attache was per-
litted to operate unmolested and
:iven the support of official quarters
nd the American secret service.
General Wood once asked me to
all on him at Governors island"
ION Papen testified. HE was very
ordlal and smilingly told me: Several
persons have called on me and given
me detailed plan of the plot which
you, captain, are supposed To have
worked out. The scheme provides for
the landing of German U-boats at New
York. which would then proceed To
blow up the subway tunnels and the
city's water mains. We have your
complete plans; where you propose, to
place your explosives and what points
you will attack. Complete evidence is
in my possession. You may see II II
you are Interested
1--WE did not waste single word
over the matter. But the incident
shows the methods used against us at
the time"

 q have suffered with Indigestion and dyspepsia for the past four years. All my food fermented in my stomach, causing gas to form. I was bloated and suffered intense pain. l had palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, and terrible pains in the back of my head had bad pains through my back and shoulders. l was very nervous and could not sleep at night, and in the morning I would be as tired as if I had never been to bed There was always burning sensation in my stomach. I could not touch meat or vegetables and could not digest the lightest kind of food. I have taken Plant Juice for several weeks and can digest my food and have good appetite for my meals I have no more aches or pains and can sleep the night through. I feel that can honestly recommend Plant Juice to anyone"

guished representative in the National
 Congress, and to his lifelong personal
 friend if he should fail to raise his
 voice in protest against the eleventh
 hour chargees being made all over the
 state, through the malls, and by speak
 CTS, against Senator Underwood
 Mir. Sanders told of the first time
 he had ever seen Oscar Underwood. MT.
 Thompson had stated in his efforts at
 disparagement of Senator Underwood,
 that If he had a lawsuit, and Underwood
 were on the otheer side, he could afford
 to go fishing, in the assurance that
 Underwood would not have sufficient
 legal ability to take care of his side
 of the case. In reply to this, Mir. Sanders
 said that his first acquaintance with Senator Underwood dated back more than twenty years ago to an occasion in the federal court at Huntsville, when he saw youthful attorney from Birm- ingham engaged in a hot legal batt& in a case involving a very large sum of money, in which he was opposed by the late chief justice Robert c. Brfckell, the south's most eminent judge and lawyer. The case was complicated and intricate in it's pleadings, and the law yers wired in and wired out in two days of hard struggle; and that at the end of the legal battle, the young B1rmlnSnam attorney, Wno was OScdr W. Underwood, had won over the emil nent and almost invincible Judge Brick ell. The speaker said that he then and there became convinced that MT. Under- wood was some lawyer" and quite ! capable of taking care of himself in 1 any sort of case; and that in his judge ! ment it would be dangerous for his | friend Thompson to go fishing if Un- derwood were on the other side of the case.
 ] MT. Sanders reviewed Senator Under woods career in Congress, and pointed out the constructive legislation to his credit. He emphasized his work as
 House leader during President Wilson s 1 first administration, and stated that any fair review of Underwood's work would credit him with a large tnflu- | ence in the enactment of the progress sive and constructive legElation upon ] which the democrats muse go before | the country seeking enlightenment.

 Underwoods strength in Limestone,

 J. Fritz Thompson, the star speaker i of the Musgrove forces, who is a star l of no mean magnitude, was on hand
 for the final coup. He spoke at length, ] devoting much time to the disparage- ment of Underwood's ability and ! achievements. When he concluded. the crowd called for Sanders long and loud.
 Col Sanders stated that he did not want to be guilty of discourtesy in

in Rhinestone had wrcsted that county from Underwood, and proposed that every man in the large audience who was for Underwood should signify by raising his right hand. Right arms shot up like bristling bayonets, amid wild shouting and hurrahing. When quiet reigned. Mir. Sanders said that nc wanted to be perfectly fair, and would give all opposed to Underwood an opportunity to signify. Less than dozen hands went up. including the supporters Of both My. Musgrove ana Mir. Weak1ey. A local humorist In the crowd said that in order to swell the hands in opposition. those opposed raised two hands each.
 In conclusion MT. Sanders stated that he was convinced that MT. Mus grove was at least correct as to his statement in regard to what Limestone would do on Tuesday,
 The occasion. while spirited. was without rancor or bitterness, and the game. while fast and hot. was played fair. and the utmost good spirit pre- vailed
