SMITH PROTESTS AGAINST CHANGE
 IN PRIMARY LAW Says Absentee Voters Pro- vision Has Proved Great Benefit For Travelling
 Men of State
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bure@n, Tho Age-Herald, 221-2 First National Bank Buildin

Montgomery, September 10.-(Spe- the Alabama Travellers and author of the law which provides that votes may be cast by mail when voters cannot be present at their voting places, has appealed to legislative candidates in an open letter not to by Ray Rushton, temporary chairman of the state democratic convention, Thursday.
 Mir. Smith said the law was of great value to railroad men. travelling men and many others who could not remain at home on election day. He also expressed the opinion that cor rections can be made in the law which will remove any tendency to- ward fraud.
 Tn his address to the state dem ocratic convention September 2, Hon. Ray Rushton advocated the repeal of the absentee voters law. stating in effect that the system of voting by mail had been fradulently used," said MT. Smith.
 Helps Travelling Men
 This law, of which l am the father, was passed primarily for the benefit of travelling men who were compelled to be away from their vot- ing places on election days. and of course is a convenience for railroad men and others who must be absent on those occasions.
 Instead of the law being repealed I trust that 1t will be amended so as to safeguard the mailed vote. attach ing penalties for any fraudulent prac- tices connected herewith. I am sure that all candidates will appreciate the votes of absentee voters or If you are to be away from your home on election days you will be glcd of an opportunity to cast your vote by this method.
 T did not see where the conven- ton took any action on MT. Rush. tons suggestion and I trust that the legislature will strengthen the law so as to be honestly administered in- stead of being repealed. I am not aware of any crookedness that has taken place but If it is impossible to prevent such. then the law should not be on the statute books"

G ECRETARY of State Hughes and
~ Arthur J. Balfour accomplished
great feat Of real diplomacy last week
when they succeeded IN persuading
China and Japan to accept the comprO-
mise arrangement by which the long
standing and troublesome Shantung
controversy IL brought to an end. The
settlement was announced on Wednes-
day IT, the fifth plenary session OF the
conference. and both the statesmen
voiced their personal rejoicing over 1t
because 1t was their own plan. Mr.. Bal
four went further and told something
that aroused the conferees to cheers.
He said that Great Britain had decid-
ed to enter at once into negotiations
for the restoration to China Of the ter:
ritory of WelHai-WeI. which 1t has
held under lease since the time when
Russia seized Port Arthur. Thus China
will get back sovereignty over her
most ancient and most thickly-pOpu-
lated province In Its entirety.
In oil major details the agreement
between Japan and China Is as was told
thSBC Sosuuhue u WCCA u6o. Jupnh

fields within six months, and Is to give
up the TsingtaO- Tsinanfu railway with

Mr.. Hughes presented to the con-
ference the completed draft Of the

was formally adopted. No material

tailed had been made, and the Pacific

Rhodes Gross Hay In-
 ferior to Alfalfa Hay

Tucson, Oct. Ills Rhodes grass hay as valuable as alfalfa hay when fed along with limited amount ot silage? That question has been an- swered in the negative as the result of an experiment conducted by the Animal Husbandry Department of the University of Arizona over per iod of sixty-six days.
 Four pure bred cows, each with calf at foot about nine months old, were divided into two lots containing two cows and calves in each lot- Forty pounds of silage was gwen each group daily. Lot one was allow ed all the alfalfa hay the animals would eat and Lot two, Rhodes grass hay. Only 3s.48 pounds of Rhodes grass hay was required by the two cows and calves in addition to 'the forty pounds of silage. On the other hand. the other lot was given 54.o2 pounds of alfalfa hay per day.
 The lot receiving the alfalfa hay gained the average of AIS pounds per day during the test and the other lot, Tea on hIlOoeS 1dSo OAiiJ pounds Gains were small in each case considering that there were four animals in each of the lots. The cattle ate more alfalfa hay and the gains were 26O percent more than the animals given Rhodes hay.
 Another method was used to de- termine the relation of values of hay from alfalfa and Rhodes grass with out other feeds. Four pure bred Here ford heifers about two years old were fed in two groups. The two heifers ate 26.14 pounds of Rhodes hay per day and gained an average cf O.7S pounds per day. The two heifers fed on alfalfa hay consumed 3O3O pounds per day and gained S.34 pounds per day during the test.
 Each of the two tests demonstrat- ed that alfalfa hay is more palatable than Rhodes grass and that Rhodes grass hay fed alone in com bination with silage will make only about one-third as large gains as al-

Pet House Cat Kills Ratler; Saves Children

BALLINGER, TEX.,-A house cat, the pet of the children of Judge A. K. Doss, saved the children from be- 2 ing bitten by a rattlesnake found in the Doss yard. according to Judge Doss. The cat attacked the snake and after a few minutes combat kill ed it.
