Crops Looking Up
 In Lee Since Rains

Opelika, July Special. The improvement of crops in Lee county since the recent rains set in Is most wonderful. During the severe drought which prevailed Up to ten daxs ago, prospects for anything like normal crops this year were precarious, and farmers were accordingly pessimistic. Boil weevils wee playing havoc with the cotton, and corn was turning yellow in the fields for the want of moisture, and the outlook was alto sether gloomy.
 But now all this Is changed, The hot. dry weather of June and sthe first days of July checked the boil wesvil menace. and was, as It appears now, a blessing In disguise. owing to the hot weather the weevil pest has greatly subsided and cotton is grow ing and blooming and taking on fruit rapidly.
 An immense small grain crop was harvested last spring, and the prom ise is now for fine corn and cotton yield Crops have been intensely cultivated and the fields are in splen- did physical condition. Things are looking up In Lee.

By Associated Press

Washington, July 1s.-While the state department is advancing it's no Eouauons for the disarmament con ference as rapidly as 1t considers practicable, there is well-defined feeling here that time and prelimi- nary discussion are working on the side of the United States in It's efforts to include troublesome diplomatic problems within the scope of the con ference.
 This belief Is particularly manifest with relation to Japan, the only ma ton which has not accepted unressrv- edly the Amerian suggestion that far eastern questions be considered with the general topic of disarmament. Confidence that such an unreseryed acceptance eventually will come from Tokio has increased measurabiy among American officials since the proposal became suject of general

l discussion throughout tho Japanese

discussion throughout the Japanese empire.
 From the start 1t has been appar- ent that President Harding and his advisers were counting on the aroused public opinion of the world as their greatest aid in moving for arn>a- ment limitation, and they have read press reports and the comments of foreign diplomatists and statesmen with keen interest to learn how i'm polling is the sentiment in favor of frank exchange of ideas on all the subjects threatening international discord. This survey so far as off cials have been willing to comment on it has aroused in them general satisfaction.
 A Welcome sign.
 Press reports from Japan lndicat- ing that the question of full particl- patton is one of lively debate there are taken as a welcome sign. The same may be assumed also with re- gard to London dispatches indicating that British opinion hopes for com plete acceptance by Japan, although for obvious reasons officials will not comment on a possible exercise of British influsnce 10 induce Toklo to accede.
 The impression that time Is a friendly factor in all of these con- alterations and that impatience might lead to a misunderstanding of the real motives of the United States in proposing the conference. Is re garded as explaining the indisposi- ton of this government to hasten the pr eliminaries. It was indicated to- day that nothing definite had been done towards physical arrangements s O. even toward the issuance of a for msl Invitation and that 1t might be some days before another concrete development.

AT WEST LAKE

Inland cities are supposed to de- velop few swimmers, unless they should be on rivers. Birmingham is many miles from its nearest river, yet there are hundreds of good swim mers here. One of the reasons Is West Lake park, where the swimming g pool is conceded to be among the best in the south. The lake Is filled with clear, cool water fed by bub- bling springs. To add to it's attrac- tiveness there is a concrete bottom and beach with rafts and other para phernalia that characterizes an up-to- date beach. In addition to the swim ming out at West Lake there Is danc- ing every night. with the music sup piled by the Melody Six.

WALLACE REID AT STRAND IN .TOO MUCH SPEED,

An unusually exciting automobile story with Wallace Reid in the lead ing role is "Too Much Speed" at the Strand this week. This production is far more interesting and enter taining than any of the similar pro- auctions that have featured the dash ing Reid.
 The novelty in the narrative idea of this new Reid auto story is that when 1t opens young Rhodes Is not at present a speeder, being only an ex- speeder who has been won away iron, the dangerous game by no less per son than cupid. His marriage is the most talked of event of the day in auto circles where he is valued racer and the fact that he is to re- nounce racing with the marriage vows makes some interruptions as sociates plan to prevent the marriage. Their attempts to frustrate cupid and the fall of young Rhodes makes the body of the story.
 As whole nothing could be breeder than this production. and the producers have, aside from the story, lent themselves to getting the excited automobile atmosphere. Some races which form the climax of the picture are about as good as the real thing

1.-THE KILLER" THRILLING
 PRODUCTION, ALCAZAR

The ultra exciting story of a man with craze for domination with whom murder Is the first instinct | toward any one crossing him, The Killer at the Alcazar Is a picture that will enjoy popularity. Henry Hooper, the killer, Is made into an artistic, though cold blooded char acter by Frank Campeau. who has
 naturally a rather weird and in- scrutable personality that lends well to the role.
 Briefly the story Is of the career of this man. his various deeds of | violence, performed in manners that completely defy detection. and which he himself pronounces "regretable. The interesting rove story of two of his would-be victims is an important part of the narrative and brings on a thrilling climax.
 In any other locale the story would be more terrible than probable, but the fact that Hooper lives in bar ricaded ranch just in reach of the
 border between Mexico and the United States adds much probability and a picturesque touch.
 Claire Adams is a pretty and suit able heroine with Jack Conway as l the American lover who defies the killer The Mexican settings for in teriors ana views of broad plains and
 distant mountains are all used to beautiful advantage.

eeral said: 1T was not labor that

Samuel Gompers had preceded
General Pershing and nearly every
person who read the story of the La

claim that labor won the war.

claim at the time in question OF
