 Senator Dial will endeavor to con vince the representatives of states, which produce only low grade cotton that his amendment would not elimi- nate a market for low grade cotton. The representatives of Mississippi, Louisiana and Oklahoma, where low grade cotton is produced, defeated the amendment of Former Senator Ccmer of Alabama, the last session of Congress, because of their fear that it would destroy low grade cotton markets.
 caucus that his amendment would guarantee market for all cotton, of all grades.
 Other important topics. it is un- derstood, will be discussed at the caucus.

NO PLACE FOR HER

From the Los Angeles Times.
 Mary was frankly bored. She twisted this way and that until even the minister was conscious of the wriggling blue bow. She climbed up on the seat and made faces-horrible goblin faces--at the sedate httle person in the next pew; but the se- date little person. remembering the occasion, made no answering grim aces.
 Mary's inning was yet to come. In the midst of the long, solemn prayer her little voice was raised in ur- gent protest.
 "Aw, come on, let's go home. This ain't no fun"
 And Mary went.

For thos reason we hold ie to be the more incumbent upon real tors to use due diligence to protect their fellow realtors agaInst such unfair methods, because from the very nature of the case, a realtor is fully aware of the laws and ethics governing real estate transactions.

HAYNES TAKESUP
 HIS NEW DUTIES
Retiring Commissioner Sets Forth Some of Problems
 Successor Must Face
By Associnted Press

Washington, June 11.-Roy A. Haynes of Hiilsboro, Ohio, entered today upon the duties of national prohibition commissioner as the sue cessor to John F. Kramer of Mans field, Ohio. the first federal prohi- bition enforcement officer. He said that while he had not as yet for mulated any general policy, he brought to his new office the best of his energy and ability.
 Upon relinquishment of the post which he has held since November IT, 1919, MT. Kramer issued a formal statement setting forth some of the more important problems before the new commissioner. To make Mir. Haynes burden easier. MT. Kramer suggested that Congress enact law giving him authority to limit the number of prescriptions for whisky which physicians may issue and the quantity of whiskies which may be manufactured and imported and to prevent the use of whisky in med icines In which alcohol has cus- tomarily been used
 Majority Are Loyal
 Primary among the problems fac ing the new prohibition commission CT, Mir. Kramer said, will be the ne- cessty of maintaining an organiza- tion which will loyalty do the work he has to do. While a few pro- hibition enforcement officers have betrayed their trust, he declared, the great majority of them are abso- lutely loyal and honest.
 Second, alcohol will continue to be problem" he said. Tt must be encouraged for industrial uses and purposes, yet the very alcohol which is so valuable in industrial lines OF work can easily be made potable liquor.
 Third. the border problem is 8 rather serious one; in that liquors are smuggled into the country. This will remain a problem until foreign governments can see their way clear to so adjust their laws that they win not make it difficult for their neighbor and friends to carry out the laws which have been enacted by their said neighbor and friends.
 Moonshine Problem
 Fourth, the illicit making oe whisky, and this especially in the south, will remain problem for some time to come.
 Fifth, the withdrawal of whisky and alcohol from bond on forged permits. This has been one of our greatest problems and is not alto gether solved"
 Local and state support to fed- eral officers has become more pro- nounced, MT. Kramer continued.
 ''The people," he added. have to a great extent adapted themselves to the new law and to the changed conditions which it brought about. This. of course. helps greatly in carrying out the work under the law"
 Commissioner Haynes announced tonight the appointment of James E. Jones, formerly of Youngstown, Ohio, as assistant federal prohibition com missioner. MT. Jones has been con- nected with the department of agri- culture since 1898, recently as as sistant in charge of business oper. ations of the bureau of plant indus

zenship. Those who approved Ad- miral Sims sentiment said that the Sim Fein movement was one to drag the American government into war with Great Britain.
 Finally the following substitute amendment was adopted: Resolved. That we indorse and approve every thing that Admiral Sims said in a recent speech in London denouncing elements that were disloyal to our flag.
 Resolved, further, That copy of this resolution be sent to the Secre tary of the Navy"

That N. w. "Rod' Scott, will be centered upon by a majority of the business and professional men of Ensley to enter for one of the as sociate commissioners in the forth coming contest, was the interesting political development in the western part of Birmingham yesterday. It is stated that MT. Scott has been petitioned by a very large part of the leading business men of Ensley to enter the race.
 Those who have approached MT. Scott on the subject of securing his consent to offer him as candidate representative of the substantial bus mess men of the community, have suggested thSt the board has long been indifferent to real business men and that professional men have cap tured most of the places. It is stated that the business men of Ensley will offer MT Scott to the bushes men of the entire district as a man who has made a success of his own af- fairs, does not need the office for the money that it pays and one whom everyone reposes confidence by req son of his own private success and the 1aGt mat ne IS lOuS in municipal affairs.
 The fact was pointed out yester- day that MT. Scott has served Ensiey for several years as mayor. He guid- ed the city through some of it's most troublesome periods. It was stated yesterday that an organization is be- ing perfected of some of the best known men in Ensley to organize some kind of club similar to the clubs now existing in Birmingham not only for the purpose of being of service to the district as a whole but to see that the indifference hereto fore and now existing towards the hub of the district is eliminated.
 The opinion was expressed yester day that MT. Scott would make for nal announcement soon and that the solid front that he would be able to present from the Ensley section would convince the business men of the entire Birmingham district of the profound earnestness of the business men of Ensley to offer 8 trained, courageous business man who can assist in unscrambling the municipal eggs.
