500 MILLION IS
DUE RAILROADS
Government Must Pay This Amount
To Make Up Guarantee For First
Six Months After Return.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The rail
roads OF the country earned only
about $l5O,000,000 last year, OF. $685.
100000 less than in 1919, according to
estimates prepared by H. P, Parma
lee, director of the bureau OF railway
economies, and just made public: -
Mr.. Parmalee estimates that in l9z0
the carriers had a gross revenue OF
$4,000, 100000 and expenses amounted
to $5.570,000.000, leaving gross .reve-
nue. of 50,000,0O0. Deduction OF tax,
es and equipment rentals amounted
to $300000,000 left the net income at
$150,000,000.
This sum was far short OF the gov,
eminent guarantee, and treasury and
other officials have estimated that. the
government must pay the roads about
$600,000000 for the six months perioa
of guaranteed return which expired
on September /. New rates became
effective then and their operation serv,,
ed to materially increase the carriers
income. which for the first ten months
of the year showed net deficit

STEALS HIS OWN WIFE
AND ELOPES WITH HER
MARRIAGE is ANNULLED AND
AGED GROOM THEN ELOPES
WITH WOMAN.

CUTHBERT, Ga.-The old saying
that "love laughs at locksmiths" was
clearly demonstrated here few days
ago. On January 1st Miss Pauline
Coram and Mr.. Elijah Shellhouse, liv-
ing near Cuthbert, came into town,
procured marriage license from Or
binary G. G. Ware, and were joined
in wedlock by that official, and the
Young couple went their way reJolc-
ing.
On Monday following the parents
of the bride, Mr.. and Mrs. Elmo Co
ram. took steps to have the marriage
annulled on the grounds of their
daughters age, which, they claim, is
under IA. A habeas corpus proceed
ing was issued and tried before Judge
C. G. Ware, ordinary of the county,
and after hearing evidence on both
sides turned the bride over to the
parents on the ground that she is
under IA years of age, and therefore
under the law of the state cannot le-
gally marry. Two days later, at night.
the bridegroom went to the home OF
his Young bride and secretly stole
her from her parental root and eloped
with her, and went to parts unknown,
presumably to some point in Alabama:
When the girls parents learned OF
her elopement they swore out war
rant against Shellhouse charging kid
mapping and placed the warrant in the
hands OF Sheriff w. E. Taylor, but so
far the clipping couple have eluded the
officer.
This is an unusual case, and the ul-
innate result of it will be watched
with keen interest.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.
says Inslde-bathIng makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a dull, aching head OF
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured OF pro-
nounced improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.

GOVERNMENT SENDS
OUT COTTON SEED
THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE SEEKS TO I'M
PROVE PRODUCT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
Dial has lust been informed by the
United States department of agricul-
ture that, with view of increasing the
interest in new and improved strains
of cotton, it is proposed to furnish
each senator and representative in the
cotton producing territory with 600
quart packages of seed the coming
season. The size of the package will
be sufficient to enable the farmer to
make a satisfactory preliminary trial
of the variety in comparison with 9TH
er varieties now grown in his locali-
ty. It is, therefore, deemed advisable
that no individual receive more than
one package.
If these tests are satisfactory the
farmer next year will be supplied with
enough of the very best seed OF the
government to produce and market a
bale of cotton and to secure a seed
supply sufficient for a large planting
the following season.
It is also announced that IN con-
nection with the distribution OF rare
field seeds authorized in the act max
ing appropriations for the department
of agriculture the department will
distribute Kansas grown alfalfa, soy
beans, Sudan grass and velvet beans;
These seed, both cotton seed and
the other varieties, are desired to be
sent to the farmers of the south who
will plan them with a view to getting
better results, and those who desire
to receive them should send their
names in Immediately to the senators
and representatives at Washington.

Man With "a Children

Ought to Have a Medal" Says One,
But His Wife Declares He

RALEIGH, N. C.-Since wide pub

ben Bland, of Robersonville, was the
proud father of thirty-four children,
he and Mrs. Bland have been deluged
with letters from persons all over the
United States and Canada.
The letters are from both men and
women. A man in Ohio wrote: 81 read
the story about your large family

ought to be given medal, told her.
There's man who ought to be

Held For Non-Support
Of Healthy Husband
Mrs. Watt, Mother of II Children, Ar
rested and Taken to Michigan.

JACKSON, Mich-Mrs. Bertha
Watt, mother of eleven children, is
under arrest here at the instance of
Saginaw officers, who asked her ap-
prehension on the charge of failing to
support her healthy husband, Peter
Watt
It seems there has been some ar
rangement between the husband and
wife whereby she was to support the
family while he remained at home and
cared for the house and the children,
but that she tired of the agreement
and came to this city with three of
the children in the hope of obtaining
work.
She will be taken to Saginaw to an
swer the charge.

T-,cHrNGTON, D. C.-Sharp
wi, mon the ruling of the led
al a.oI reserve board denying DIS
eral nr;vileges to cotton factors were
cou da todav before the senate finance
non1mittee by southern senators VINO
r rpged an amendment to the tederal
raserve act permitting such discounts;
reg Senator Smith of Georgia declared
.ho+ GOV Harding of the board had
"1;,nterDreted the law to suit NM
.a nis and that his position with
s se to factors paper was utterly
mdefensible. So e
Now Orleans, told the committee that
the plan suggested by Gov. Harding
tho+ thc farmers negotiate direct with
tbe a country banks in financing their
c crC was impractical" because the
hanks would not take the farmers
notes. He declared the plan would
create chaos in cotton marketing.
Senator Mcclellan, OF tennessee,
+oid the committee that the factors
naners were gilt-edge, and that ted
era1 reserve banks had never lost on
loans secured by the factors. He SAID
onp-ffth OF the entire cotton crop was
marketed by factors who were COM
ncl1ed to borrow large amounts, some
fines more than $30,000,000, in order
70 make advances to the farmers and
aid them in financing new crops.
Paul billiard, president OF a Mem
nhjs. Tenn, cotton firm, testified that
the action of the board was "discrlm-
inatory
Memphis wants their factors pa
Ders handled on merit and not dis
criminated against" Mr.. billiard said.
"The ruling Of the board last summer
making these papers ineligible for dis
count was made a misrepresentation.
Until that time this class of paper was
considered as agricultural and dis
counts permitted. Now, for no appar-
ent reason, it is designated as finance
paper and held ineligible for dis
count
Mr.. billiard estimated that practi-
cally every farmer who produced cot
ton last year lost from $40 to $50 an
acre and said large loans would have
to be made this year in order for the
farmer to plant.
They have used all their funds and
we will have to finance them" he said.
I'VE trust the factors papers may
again be placed on the eligible list. "
Both Mr.. billiard and Mr.. Stern de-
cIared the farmers were not holding
their crops to foster speculation, but
were compelled to hold because there
was no market.
Asked by Senator Mclean, of Con-
necticut what the future prospects
were Mr.. Stern said there was al
ready gradual recovery of markets
for low grades.
III the war finance corporation
functions" he added, and access is
possible to South America and Cen
trail Europe the prospects should be
good"

WILL MOVE FOR DRASTIC
CUTS IN LEAGUE SALARIES
France Looks on Present Schedule as
Public Scandal

PARIS.-France is getting ready to
move for drastic reductions in the sal
airy budget of the league of nations.

French head of the labor section, $780,
600; two under-secretaries, $4,000
each, and a deputy secretary general,
$4,000. Forty-eight members of vari-
Gus commissions receive from $4,000
to $1,000 each, while swarm of lesser
officials receive from $500 to $4,000
each.
France regards this list as public
scandal and will act TO have it cut

Compared with any wood insu-
lated battery, this finer product has
the following:
/. A Threaded Rubber insulation
battery is brand new when you
buy it, because it is shipped and
carried in stock bone dry" 1t IS
filled with electrolyte and charg-
ed for the first time after you
buy it.
Wood insulated batteries must be
filled and charged at the factory,
after which the chemical action
of the solution causes some wear
on the places, which continues
even though the solution may
have been enptied out.
The amount of wear that such
battery had had depends on how
long it has been in stock.
2. If the Threaded Rubber In
sulation battery is not abused,
the insulation will outlast the
plates.
Wood insulation must be renew
ed at least once to get full bat
terry life.
The cost of renewing wood in
su1atoin is as much or more than
the extra cost of the Threaded
Rubber Insulation battery. Be-
sides this there is also the eX-
pense of rent battery while re-
pairs are being made.
3. After middle age, the Thread
ed Rubber Insulation Battery
still maintains its capacity. Wood
insulation batteries gradually
lose capacity due to partial short
circuits through the wood-call-
ed electrical leakage" This
makes frequent recharging nee
essary and the owner has ex--
pense for both recharging and
use of rent battery.
4. By keeping the plates perfectly
insulated from each other, rapid
plate wear from partial short cir
cults is avoided, and under the
same conditions of care and use
the Threaded Rubber Insulation
battery gives more months OF
service.
S. The Threaded Rubber lnsuia-
ton battery gives much greater
assurance of uninterrupted ser
vice, reducing to a minimum the
possibility of battery failure on
the road.
A large number of car manufac-
turers are using Willard Batteries
with Threaded Rubber Insulation
