ing Of the petition Of Ray Rushton. re-
ceiver of the street railway system of
Montgomery, for the establishment of a
ROYAL scale or RACES which he believes

Mr. Rushton has asked that the pub

tanned as long as the company has an
operating fund of less than $500 COO the

BUSINESS MEN TO
URGE COTTON BAGS
Campaign to Increase De-
mand for Southern Staple
Is Meeting With Success

Montgomery, February 15.-(Spe-
ciaI AT the request of the Alabama
division of the American Cotton asso-
citation to the wholesale grocers OF
Alabama to encourage the shipping Of
all commodities in cotton bags that
are usually shipped in jute bags is
meeting a hearty response from all
quarters
The headquarters of the Alabama
division in Montgomery has just re-
ceived the following notice of the ac-
ton of the Montgomery Wholesale
Grocers' association from Col. Leo
Strassburger, Shairman of the whole
sale division Of the Montgomery cham
Der of commerce.
at our regular meeting it was
unanimously decided that our secre-
tary be instructed to write all the
refiners in the country, great many
of the grain houses and other concerns
from whom we buy commodities, to
put all commodities they possibly can
in white cloth bags, made out of cot
ton-such commodities as oats, corn,
meal, bran and shorts. This should
give considerable impetus to the
movement that is under way to in
crease the consumption of cotton. and
/ hope our efforts along this line will
be fruitful of good results.
1t will be recalled that the Whole
sale Grocers' association of Birming-
ham and the Kiwanis club of Albany
Decatur took similar action a few
days ago.
The object of the American Cotton
association has in making this re-
quest is to create an extra demand
for cotton. believing that if this is in
sisted upon by the big shippers. it will
consume several hundred thousand
bales of cotton and to that extent re-
lieve the pressure of the enormous
carry-over now in sight q
Not only is the associatio asking
the shippers to demand the use of
cotton bags for shipping commodities
which can safely be covered thus, but
they are asking the ladies and house
wives to use cotton goods in place of
linen wherever practical

To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness

Persons suffering from catarrhal Deafness
who are growing hard of hearing and

scarcely hear have had their hearing re
stored to such extent that the tick of

inches away from either ear. Therefore,
if you know of someone who is troubled
with head noises catarrhal deafnesss cut
out this formula and hand it to them and
you may have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be prepared at
home and is made as follows:
Secure from your druggist ! OF. Parmint
Double Strength). Take this home and
add to it II pint of hot water and little
graduated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times day.
Parmint is used in this way not only to
reduce by tonic action the inflammation and
swelling in the Eustachian Tubes and thus
to equalize the air pressure on the drum,
but to correct any excess of secretions in
the middle ear, and the results it gives are
nearly always quick and effective.

TWO DEVELOP MENTS
IN COAL INQUIRY
By Associated Press

Washington. February 1.-two devel-
opments came in quick succession today
in the senatorial study Of the coal ques-
ticn
Chairman Calder OF the Senate coal in
Nestigation committee, announced on be-
half Of his committee after two Witness
es had been heard that absolutely no
evidence had been found to sustain
charges that government officials had
participated in abnormal profits realized
on coal during the 1920 shortage.
The Senate manufactures committee
soon after concluded its hearings on the
Calder bill providing for federal regua-
ton of the coal industry, and Chairman
LaFollette announced that the commit
tee in executive session tomorrow would
take up the measure. The prospects are
that the committee will amend the bill
in a number of particulars.
George Fl. Cushing managing direc-
tor of the American Wholesale Coal as
ISOLATION, who in testimony several
weeks ago charged that government Of
ficials had profited from coal deals, was
recalled by Chairman Calders committee
to give further information in support
of his charges. Mr.. Cushing told the
committee that Dix w. Smith. former
dollar-a-year man. in government serv-
ice had sought assistance last August
to obtain coal for South American re-
publics and that Smith later had said
that with four associates in government
service, he had received a profit of $50,
000 on coal sales.
Smith, Immediately called, agreed to
having many conversations with Gushing
last August. and said he had held at
the time an order for 100000 tons of coal
for Brazil and Chile, but had never
sold pound Of coal or got cent" He
said he had told Cushing that friends
in government service advised him to OBJ
tain the coal, but declared it was all

any evidence to support the Cushing

testimony.
