Governor Allen recently has re-
turned from Indiana where he prob
ably went to look over the Hoosier
plan of regulating the coal industry.
Indiana has a state commission which
fixes prices. The first work of the
commission was so to adjust prices
that operators outside of the state
sold the people their coal.

LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOK
By LEE PAPE

DOGS
Dogs vary from big to little,
FROM blunt to pointy and wide to
fiat,
They love bones and food and people
But they cant stand the site of a cat.
Poor foxes have dogs of mixed sizes.
Vile little fuzzy ones are. owned by
the rich,
Because wen they wunt a dog they
buy one,
So they have the selection witch.
The best kind of dog is a bull dog
And the werst is a fat frentch poodle.
o 1t may be a dog to some people
But to me its a meer kioodle.
Grayhounds are long mario dogs,
They can run to beet the band,
And wen you see their long thin mario
legs
You can easy understand.
I used to know a dog named Fuzzie
Who was wife till some red paint
stained her.
And her tale was so short wen she
wagged it
That she wagged her intire ramainder.

Water creeping into houses in the
vicinity of Fourteenth and Madison
streets caused the police to organize a
rescue party in that vicinity but as
the water quickly receded after the
rain stopped falling the danger was
reduced.

at Fourth and Jackson streets. She
met the situation III a practical way

to find a crossing, swiftly removed her

the opposite side of the street.

NEW McLACHLAN BANK BRANCH

Formal announcement has Just been
made by the McLachlan Banking Cor
poration that its Southwest branch at
1850 b street southwest will be COM
pleted early in March and opened
about the 10th.
This move by the McLachlan Cor
poration Is regarded as an especially
wise one, as 1t will bring close bank
ing facilities to a large number OF
Government and other people, who
have offices in this section of the city.
The fact that the McLachlan Cor
poration has had the plan under con-
sideration has been the subject of
much interest In local financial cir
cles for several weeks, but no an
nouncement was made of the fact, due
to the desire of the officers of the
company to complete all arrange
ments in the matter.
The bank will be known as the
Southwest Branch Of the McLachlan
Banking Corporation.

EXPRESS STOCK SUBSCRIBED.

The books for subscription to the
million dollars Of capital stock Of the
Southeastern Express Company, which
opened yesterday morning were
closed last evening, with the full
amount subscribed, according to an
nouncement made this afternoon by
Fairfax Harrison, president Of the
Southern Railway.
The stock list. 1t is pointed out, will
be made up of at least $500 widely
distributed Southern business men
holding, on the average, about forty
shares each.
This result, of a test of practical
business democracy and Individuals
in the South at this tSme says
Mr.. Harrison is, Of course, crafty
ing to us, but has perhaps a larger
significance. Certainly It fully justi-
flies our confidence that the people
of the South desire competition in en-
