CHAPTER XIV.

The lookout on the power schooner
Maggie II had sighted Diamond head
before Commodore Adelbert p. Gibney,
Captain Phineas 2. Scraggs. and En-
gineer Bartholomew McGuffey were
enabled to declare, in all sincerity (or
az least with as much sincerity as one
might reasonably expect from this band
Of rowing rascals). that they had en-
tirely recovered from their narrowing
experiences on the desert island Of Tu-
vana-tholo, In the Friendly group.
At the shout Of ''Land. no." Mr.. Nc
Guffey yawned, stretched himself and
sat up In the wicker lounging chair
where he had sprawled for days with
Mr.. Gibney and Captain Scraggs, un-
der the awning on top Of the house,
He flexed his biceps rehectiyely. while
his companions. stretched at fuIl

watched him lazly.

SALT WATER MORE BU0YANT

the boy thought OF mixing sglt with the

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that 80 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain--the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in nsed of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation ! have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits. as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers Swamp Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulhlls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address

MIDDLE CLASSES OF RUSSIA ENDURE MARTYRDOM

There are said to be 200, 900 Russian refu- gees in Germany, 60,000 in Poland, 5o,o 900 in the Balkan countries, 26,oOo in Finland and 10000 in Switzerland In addition to these ex- fled Russians, driven out of their native land by boshevsm and stripped of their posses sions, there are many more scattered over the world who are struggling against odds for the necessities of life.
 Princess Cantacuzene, granddaughter of Ulysses S. Grant, and wife of Russian noble man, who spent many years in Russia, is the authority for these figures The princess has written much about conditions there, both be- fore and after the World war, and has been active in carrying on relief work for the expatrated middle classes of Russia who have suffered almost as much as their fellow coun- trymen who remained at home to die of starva- tion and disease.
 With her most intelligent people exiled to the four quarters of the earth and those who could not escape from Russia condemned to fate little better than slavery, which has para lyzed initiative and productiveness, and is slowly destroying the backbone" of Russia what will be the future of country whose regeneration must be worked out by the very class of people who being ground under the heels of the boshevists? It will be task of years, perhaps of generations.

AUBuRN'S CHEAT SERVICE TO
 THE STATE OF ALABAMA

Fresh impetus was given to the Auburn cam paign a1 the rally of Jefferson county alumni held last night at the Hilhman. The people of Alabama have been. aroused to full realiza- ton of what Auburn means to the state, great but sorely handicapped institution which is turning out young men to carry produc tive work The Auburn graduate is trained as a worker, producer. He represents undevel- oped wealth in brains and energy which will enrich the state when he applies his knowledge to the farms mines and other industries which arc Alabamas chief assets.
 Every indication points to unsuccessful cam paign to raise s1 100000 for improvements needed now and the weight of public sentiment will result in Auburn being given more con- sideration in the future by the legislature. The school has a wonderful record behind it, de- snitc it's lack of funds and equipment but it's greatest service lies ahead, and it is the duty of Alabamians to make that service possible by their generous support.
 There was a time when not much love was lost between Auburn and the University of Alabama It is gratifying to observe that this spirit has vanished. The state university and the polytechnic institute at Auburn are both indispensable and both are working for the advancement of Alabama. University alumni and the heads of that institution will do their part to make the Auburn drive for $1, 900 ,0o0 a success

 The success of the housewives exhibit was due to cooperation. The League of Women Voters the manufacturers who exhibited, the public and the press all played their various parts, but no single agency added more to the undertaking than the papers.
 The Age-Herald a powerful factor in promoting the enterprise, for it has been pay ing the way by the daily editorials of R. F. Johnston, whose faith in Birmingham, and whose vision are real community assets. The news stories of Mignon Hall, written with style and accuracy, were most helpful n holding pub lie attention to the aims and objects of the eX- hibit in short, the entire force of the paper exemplified the spirit of community service.

RAILROADS FARMING OUT WORK TO CONTRACTORS

Railroads of the country are letting out to contractors more and more of the work which was heretofore done by their own forces. The reason is simple and compelling one. Tne same work is done by the same class of em- pIoyes at lower cost under the contract sys- tenn. The contractors have a voice in the wages which they pay. The railroads have none.
 Two news items in yesterdays Age-Herald are illustrations. One from Scranton, Pa, says:
 "The Delaware, Lackawanna and Eastern railroad will have all freight at its transfer sys- tenn in the city handled by contract, this be- ing the third station to be operated by con- tractors"
 news item from Baltimore says
 "The Western Maryland railroad has given notice to 5000 maintenance of way employees that the Dickson Construction and Repair com pany of Youngstown, O., will assume control of maintainenee of way work on the entire sys- tenn contract basis. The contractors will retain the present force of laborers, it is said, with wages reduced from 39 1-2 cents to 25 cents per hour'
 large amount of car and locomotive re- pair work, of car building and the like, for mery done in railroad shops is being done in outside shops Railroad executives are franjl in stating the reasons why this is done. It costs less money to farm out the work than to have it done in company shops.
 The irony of the situation is that in many instances the same men who worked for the railroads and over whose wages the railroad companies had control, work for the con tractors at lower wages and without protest.
