FORMER KAISER WANTS MORE MONEY


 The late Kaiser has complained that the Berlin Government has not provided sufficient funds for hia maintenance, and threatens that unless more money is given him forthwith he will return to Germany The former Kaiser had received up to August 1 chiefly in advances upon his estates the period since the armisce $S54, ,000-or the rate of about $300.00 year-in gold. He insists that this is not sufficient for his needs.
 The law which will decide the fate of the Kaiser has been before the German Reichstag for near three years and action upon it to be as far off as at anytime since the beginning This leaves stua- tion such might considerable embarrassment in the event the Ex-Kaser should return to Germany suddenly. It is said that he is entitled under present laws to great deal more money than he is getting
 It is said, however, that the Berlin newspapers do not take seriously the threat of the former ruler of Germany to return to that country Socialist paper commenting upon the financial condition of the former Kaiser facitously suggests that if he is not getting enough money that he put his five sons to work

A Contention That Proves Nothing.

 The railroads not making progress in their attempts to from the Government during war operation account of alleged inefficiency Of labor arising, claimed, from the mere fact that the Government in charge of the job They are not likely to make any progress.
 They have been headed off at the start by the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission that the relative efficiency of labor at various periods is too indefinite and intangible matter to be determined with any accuracy, and language of the contract with the Government be found which embraces any consideration of the kind. They can now take the into the courts if they want to- but whether they will get any further with it there is open to question.
 What the roads more probably driving at is the grinding out of food for propaganda against Gov ernment ownership operation. But nothing con- elusive can be proved along this line of attack Throughout the period of socalled Government war operation the railroads under the immediate di- recton and control of the managerial sas in charge when they taken by the Government. The Director General for the Government merely CO., ordinathg officer the old arrangements, which had before worked without coordination.

LIVING COST SHOULD FALL.

The Washington State wheat crop this year will exceed 51,00Q,O00 bushels according to official re- ports This is than 10 900 900 bushels in excess of last year. The increased crop is due to better yields well to additional acreage. The average yield this year has been 285 bushels to the acre com pared with 24.3 bushels last The oats barley rye and potato show slight due wholly it said to decreased acreage The apple crop shows an increase from 17,500 900 boxes to 24,0OO,00O.

CONVECTION COUNTY
 BOYS PROGRESSIVE.

Andalusia, January 26.- Specially There will be six community clubs in Covington county this year The or ganization will be effected the early part of February In each community where there is to be a club 1t will be composed of last years pig club, corn club and peanut club boys. The plan to have just one club this year and to
 have pig, corn and peanut depart ments, emphasizing all three and working the three together, was deemed more advisable by the boys and by the county agent, J. P. Wilson. No one phase of the work will be stressed more than another
 The first pig club in the county was formed at Red Level in 1919 and was known as the ed-Level-Loango Pig club. Twenty five Duroc gifts were sold to the members of this club on time and without interest. Swift & Co. of Andalusia, through the
 manager, J. L. Thweatti offered a prize

DODSON WOULD STOP SALE 0F CALOMEL Says Calomel Is Mercury and Acts Like Dynamite on
 Your Liver

Dodson is making a hard fight against calomel in the south. Every druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason, Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place.
 "Ca1omel Is dangerous and people know 1t, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better re- sults," said a prominent local druggist. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist. A large bottle costs but few cents, and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and consti- patton. you have only to ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy. harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head ache, acid stomach or constipated bow els It doesn't gfipe Or cause incon- venience all the next day like violent calomel. Take dose of scalomel to- day and tomorrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose days work! Take podson's Liver Tone in- stead and feel fine full of vigor and ambition.--Adv.

 Governor Kilby told members of the ference todays how the state was to meet various appropriations of the legislature if tax assessments were changed. The representatives of the people made appropriations, based on estimated revenue to be derived from taxation, Governor Kilby said, and these appropriations cannot be met un- less funds are obtained from taxes.
 CASES ARE CITED
 One suggestion was that the gov .ernor borrowed money in order to meet the appropriation. Governor kilby answered that the state last year paid a portion of the floating in- debtedness; that he, does not regard it as good business policy to go into debt, and that it is not his intention to incur additional obligations of the state unless they can be met wher due.
 Various cases were cited by the com mittee to show injustice in tax assess ments. MT. Garth said many pieces O property of Madison county are as sessed at more than 60 per cent of tn market value and that some are as sessed at more than they will brin, in the market. Governor Kilby sail instances of injustice are rare and tha the state now is attempting to fin each one for the purpose of correction
