In the hrst place. they write the pose

Water Hyacinth Has
Its, Uses after All
CBy Associated Press)

Crowley, La, Oct. 13.-The south
ern water hyacinth, praised by the
beauty lover, hated by the navigator
of the bayous and dubbed a nuisance
by the irrigation men, has proven its
right to live.
In Louisiana, this plant is choking
the smaller stream, blocking naviga-
ton, and where removed at a heavy
cost, speedily returns even more pro-
life. The liability can be converted
into an asset, according to a group
of chemists, who have prepared and
displayed at the Chamber of Com
merce quarters here samples of pa
per pulp, ether, alcohlo, oil, tannin,
fertilizer, -proofing compound
and stock food, all based on the hya-
cinth.
Whether this transformation can
be made ia cost that will render the
process economically worth while is
to be determined later. However,
the enormous volume, rapid growth
and ease of gathering insures cheap
ness in raw material, according to
chemists.

A number of well-known neWspa-

their engine commenced to slow
down, relates the Washington Star
A hurried examination disclosed the
fact that the gas tank was nearly
empty. Two of them elected to ven
ture forth in search or an all-night
garage while the other two remained
in the car. The searchers, after trav-
ersing many streets, finally came
across n station on which was a
sign "Open all night" No. signs of
life, however, were visible. Finally one
of the scribes happened to notice a
rope protruding through window of
the building in which were kept oils,
greases, accessories, etc. Giving the
rope a vigorous pull, he nearly yanked

out of bed, the rope being attached

Florida Baptists'
Headquarters to
Be i'm jacksonville

Jacksonville, Oct. 16-The head
quarters building of the Florida
Baptist state convention will be To-
Gated in Jacksonville, according to
reports from the officers last night.
The committee on purchase of the
site has recently acquired the lot on
the south side of Church, between
Hogan and Julia streets, adjoining
on the east the Federal Reserve bank
property and on the west the Union
Congregational church property
While the purchase price was not
named-it, is understood to be about
$25, 900. The lot, which is now COW
tered with a two-story frame house,
at one time used as a parsonage OF
the Congregational church, was pur-
chased from the Florida National
bank.
The committee of the convention
on purchase of the lot included the
executive committee of the conven-
ton, DR.. W. A. Hobson, DR.. W. L
C. Mahon, and DR.. S. B. Rogers, OF
Jacksonville; Rev. C. w. Dukes, Of
Tampa, and Rev. j. L. White, of Mi
ami. .
1t is understood that the site will
be covered by a three-story building
but the committee appointed was
empowered only to purchase the lot
At the next annual meeting of the
Florida Baptist state convention
which will be held in Gainesville If
December, it is probable that a Ger.
tain sum of money will be appropri.
ated for a building, plans will ther
be drawn, and work flushed to com,
pletion.

A WARMING

Hearing the racket, his wife ran
out, upsetting a four-gallon

crawled through the cream into

Seymour Grady, former pastor of St.
Johns Methodist church here, at. his
home in Tallahassee. At the time
Mr.. Grady was pastor of the Method

Grady died suddenly this morning.

of Palatka about six years ago, and
had three children, two little girls
and a son. 1t is not known here

great eagerness by pros and ants and
there even has been some rather acri-
moniOus discussion among those who
believe and those who affirm and those
who deny.
But the most astonishing incident
which has been brought to public at
tention during the whole course of the
long drawn-out argument is furnished
by the tragic ending of one Alfred
Manning, aged sixty-six.
He had been unable to get work for
a considerable time and had been
much discouraged, although he had
not actually suffered in a dangerous
way from lack of food
But he was old, tired and unsuccess-
ful-of a sort and in a case which
often furnishes suicides.
Thrust Head Through Moose.
And he was found dead in his room
with his death declared to be suicide
by the coroner, although 1t could be
held to be that only by person ac-
cepting very fully the theories OF those
believing that great power lies in auto
suggestion.
When found he had been dead for
some time, kneeling at the foot of his
bed.
He had tied two corners of a very
large handkerchief together, making a
loop which he had caught over one OF
the bed-posts.
Through the pendant cloth circlet
thus formed Manning had thrust his
head and. when he was found, his
neck rested Imply in It,
But the loop. was large and loose
the handkerchief would not have
pressed tightly on his throat If his
head had not borne its weight down
upon it and that scarcely could have
been achieved to the point of strangu
lation by his own will-power.
