Getting Together

T have heard it said for some years that Alabama offered great induce ments to raisers of beef cattle as well as to dairymen," said Russell Hunt but I was surprised to learn, and agreeably so, that one of our progress sive young business men, Bob Jemlson had gone into thes dairy business with a wide-awake cattleman, Hugh Pray tor, and with one of their Register of Merit cows had won the state championship for 1920. {,
 Tt seems to me that the partnership isSs most happySones. Talk as much as you please about bringing the city snd the country together. it will never be done by propagandists. but it can bs accomplished when men like Bob ana Hugh co-operate.''

Busines. Improving

"The slight slump in business dur ing the past few months, especially noticeable in the cotton growing states. is already beginning to give way before the optimistic reports from the east" said w. w. Ralm, pres ident of the Albany Chamber of Com merce.
 There is no doubt that the return to normal has begun, and that within short time the whole south will have recovered it's nerve and shaken .ff the temporary fit of depression that is really responsible for most of the sos called hard times I must say that optimistic expressions have had much to do with the betterment of condi- tions as good or bad business is largely matter of psychology. As we think, so we are, is Just as true of tho business as the moral world"

 World War Calls for
 New Tariff Viewpoint

l m REPUBLICANS themselves, even M those bred on high tariff prin-
 ciples, are going to find it very diff ficult to enact a measure that does
 not carry with it some painful form of reprisal.
 Such an authority as the Wall Street Journal remarks that "Cut off the foreign outlet for American goods and capital and labor must suffer just as they are now suffering from the temporary loss of domestic mar
 kets." This same authority goes on to say:
 Students and bankers whose opinions carry weight readily ad- init that In the light of postwar developments some schedules need notifications, upwards or down. wards, to meet unusual conditions, like that existing in the dyestuffs trade. But, when schedule Is 1 studied, 1t should be in connection l with the thought that we have enormous interests abroad, and that, Just as the delegation before the finance committee unwittingly showed. our prosperity at home is dependent upon the development of trade abroad for both farm and factory.
 The entire tariff question must be approached from an entirely different viewpoint from that of pre-war times.
 As the Wall Street Journal remarks, "The days of isolation are past end l it must be viewed internationally. !" The World war was won on the slogan of making world fit to live in. One fit to live in is ones where men not only are not at one an-
 others throats physically, but where
 they also are not 1t ono another's throats financially and commercially. Two can play at tho game of peaes
 aa well II at that Of war. This | siihy

 bafens are beginning to re the other

Untagged Dog Has
 Had His Day in Court

Untagged Dog Has
 Had His Day in Court
 7F HERE is no room for misunder- U standing about the dog law. Any person desiring a dog can have one if he wants to pay the tax.
 The dog is perfectly safe from molestation so long as his owner keeps him at home and attaches the license tag to his neck.
 The object of the dog law is to prevent an animal belonging to any one person from destroying the prop erty or lives of other persons. This is precisely what dogs always have done and always will do if they are allowed to roam at will
 The dog was born hunter and knows no other way. Waterman was hunter also, the dog served him well. In state of civilized society, where there is no legitimate game to hunt, the dog follows the bent of his na- ture and hunts just the same. When he does so he destroys the property and lives of others. Society cannot permit that.
 Officers are in duty bound to de- stroy all untagged and wandering dogs. After all the warning that has been given he who has neglected to comply with the law h..s no right to enter complaint if his dog goes where the law says the unlicensed and un- tagged dog shall go.

 Next Mattress of White House
 Having . Shopping Spree" NINTH a procession of modistes' WV tailors, furriers and jewellers passing through her suite at New York hotel, Mrs. Harding is enjoying q form of diversion dear to all normal ly constituted women.
 If accounts are true-and why should they not be?-she is having a shopping experience that would
 
 make the oldest inhabitant of Marion sit up and marvel. Obsequious tradesmen, to borrow an English term, are seeking her patronage with | zeal that does not augur well for the family pocket book, but the next mistress of the White House is credited with more than the aver age share of common sense and thrifty friends of the Hardings back home in Marion need have no fear that she is being demoralized by the seductive wares of Gotham's shops. It is q far cry from the quiet home life which Mir. and Mrs. Harding en- joyed at Marion and in Washington { to the exalted station which she will ahortly occupy as the first lady in tho land and one must dress accord Ely. Nevertheless, while glib sales 6a sye using all their wiles to lead or into extravaganza, we have a Snspicion that Mrs. Harding will re- < 1namber that the presidential salary $ r cnly e76,000 | year and internal xovinne officials estimate that MT. & nrding win have to psy the govern x Iout n income and surtax of ap- soximately $1s.ooo.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you; want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulsified coeoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can useg for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoons
full of Mulsified will make an album
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly.
The lather rinses out easily, and re-
moves every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cecoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t
is very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsified.-Adv.
