THE CORPORATION COMMISSION.

The corporation commission as 1t stands today is farce and failure.

 From all parts of the state comes the cry for it's speedy abolishment, and we sincerely hope that the legislature meeting Monday will put an end to the life of a commission, around which clusters one big blunder after another.

TREATY VIOLATION
 IS VIEW 0F U. s.
Hold Tracing of Boundaries Exclusive Function of the
 League of Nations
By Associated Press

Washington. February 2.-Transfer of a part of the Syrian mandate from France to Great Britain under a con vention formally concluded between the two powers without reference to the League of Nations was interpreted today by state department officials as an ap- parent violation of the treaty of Yer sailles.
 The state department view was set forth as holding that the tracing of the boundaries of the mandate territories was an exclusive function of the League of Nations, as provided by the treaty
 Since the entire question of mandates, however, has become so involved with the controversy. now extending between the state department and the powers concerning Mesopotamia and the island of Tap, officials indicated that thor ough. study of the mandate problem upon which the state department is engaged would have to- be completed before the precise status of the Franco British con- vention could be authoritatively deter mined.
 The suggestion was officially advanced, however. that the supreme council, which at San Reno assigned the Syrian man. date along with others in the near east, might have made some provisions by which. the precise boundaries between the various mandate territories in Turkey would be determined among the powers themselves, although such action would not have been in strict conformity with the treaty provisions.

My appetite Is good, am never troubled with indigestion and have gained lot of strength. I have recommended Tanlac to number of my friends, and several have taken it with good results"

bENFORD SPEAKS
 ON FARM PROBLEM
Judge Reynolds Urges Siege of Starvation" Till Times
 Grow Better

Clanton, February 2l.--(Special.)--Pr F. E. Benford of Auburn spoke to a large crowd of Chiffon county farmers here Saturday
 He stated that over year ago the college saw the problem that is now con fronting the farmers, and that it sent men out over the state to confer with the county farm demonstrators and that they, together with the demonstrators vised the farmers of this county to fol- low.
 He suggested that a family of five should have at least one-fourth of an acre for a garden; should have one- half-acre orchard: should have F acres pigs to be used Tor home consumption and market; should plant plenty or legumes for pastures, and should grow all the food that the family and animals consumed lie also gave many other practical suggestions.
 REYNOLDS SPEAKS
 Just after Professor Benford had spoken. Judge l.. H. Reynolds advised the farmers to do without and go through a siege of starvation" until times were normal and until the manu- faeturers would reduce the articles the farmers have to buy according to what they have to sell .a
 He particularly insisted that they hot buy commercial fertilizers until it was reduced according to the price of cotton and other farm products. This the farm CTS all agreed to do.
 He stressed the necessity of cooper ative buying and selling by the farmers stating that he was at a hog sale in an Alabama town few days ago and saw one man buy for five different packing houses. and that this was the only man whc made any offer for the hogs. He also said that cowhides- were selling for cents per pound and sole leather for s1 D per pound. He used the illustrations to show how the farmer was being hum bIgged' by the manufacturer.
 He was given loud applause and the farmers agreed to take his advice.
