HARDING REPLIES
To SENATOR HELM

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Reply-
ing to charges Of Senator Helm,
Democrat, of Alabama, Governor w.
P q. Harding, Of the federal reserve
board, Monday sent a letter to Sena-
tor Mclean, chairman of the senate
banking committee, declaring that
he had never been interested person
ally or indirectly in speculation in
cotton.
Mr.. Harding asked Senator Nc
Lean to read the letter to the SEN
ate.
"Since I have been a member of
the federal reserve hoard have
never had any private personal in
terest in any speculative transac-
tion," Mr.. Harding said. ''In the
autumn Of 1914, when the 'buy-a-
bale movement was under way,
bought one bale Of cotton at ten
cents a pound, but with that eXcep-
ton I have had no personal inter-
est, direct or indirect, in the cotton
market. I have had no transaction
in cotton or any other commodity"
Senator Heflin, in a speech Satur-
day, intimated he had information
to the effect that Mr.. Harding had
been caught short in cotton and
that the policies Of the federal re-
serve board had been Influenced by
Mr.. Hardiug's alleged personal trans
action,

EARLY RECOGNITION
. OF MEX|CANS SEEN

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 8.-Recog-
milton of Mexico by the United
States is drawing nearer, political
observers believed here today.
the United States has given impetus
to the talk of recognition.
Ratification of the treaty with
American bankers by President
Obregon and the latest note from
Some believe that recognition will
come within ninety days, and 9TH
ers that it will come sooner.
The Mexican congress, it is be-
lieved, will back Obregon and rat
I ify the financial agreement which
was drawn up in New York by
Finance Minister De La Huerta and
American financierS.
While Obregon has not seen cor
respondents for nearly two months,
it has been learned on good author
ity that he recently told a promi-
nent American visitor that he be-
lieved the difficulties between the
United States and Mexico would
soon be terminated.
The Mexican press is taking an
optimistic view of the situation and
several papers this morning print
extracts from the new note of the
United States. Mexican bankers are
quoted as being pleased with the
action taken on the financial treaty.

takes one ounce of seed to twenty
five hills or five pounds of seed per
acre.
The Kleckley's sweet, the Rattle
snake and the Watson are consider
ed standard varieties. The Rocky
Ford is one of the best cantaloupes
for general planting. 1t takes water
melons from eighty to one hundred
days to mature. AS soon as a good
stand has been obtained, thin down
to two plants to the hill. and, ordi-
narily, only two melons should be
allowed to remain on any one vine.
Liberal fertilization is necessary
in this state for watermelons and
cantaloupes. A formula suitable to
use for these crops contains 2 to 8
per cent phosphoric acid and to
per cent potash. Clean cultivation is
necessary. Spraying to protect
from insect depredations and plant
diseases is also desirable practice.
The proper treatment Of melons to
prevent stem-end rot before ship
ment is also necessary if good
prices are to be obtained. The pro-
duction and marketing Of melons on
the community basis is the only way
to. insure reasonable returns to the
growers

MANY DRUG ADDICTS ASK
u. S. FOR INVESTIGATION

tracing the sorcalled drug habit, but
after my illness 1 went through
agony and horror and when I was
revived with morphine I became
aware that l was an addict without
knowing it.
IT tried to be cured, but I was
insulted and jeered at for my pains,
and after taking a home treatment
that cost me every cent l owned, l
was unconscious for forty-eight
hours.
For three years 1 have struggled
to support myself and my family,
but these have been years Of torture.
Every day I have been compelled to
go for the dole of morphine to keep
body and soul together.
"I am neither criminal nor degrad-
ed, but I live in constant fear Of be-
ing railroaded off to a cure that
doesn't cure"
WEST VIRGINIA.-Wom rs
years old, an addict for forty years,
says:
persons falling victim to narcotic
drugs, usually under circumstances
over which they have no control, are
being unduly punished by our coun.
try's laws as they are written and
enforced today.
Naturally I do not hope to re-
cover, but for the sake of others ]
hope a remedy will be found for this
malignant i'll.
"I have been allowed by the fed
eraf authorities 20 grains Of NOR.
phine every five days, and for forty
years 1 have taken this amount Ivy
the needle. Now the federal agent
has ordered that hereafter I must
take it in liquid form only.
"In this form twenty grains is in
adequate for my mind and body and
it costs $50 a week-and my pensiC n
of $50 a month is my only income
whereas under scientific administra-
ton it would cost only $3.50"
OHIO-Married woman. an .ddict
since the birth of her child twenty
four years ago. Her husband says:
During her illness morphine was
given for relief, and she unwittingly
became a slave to it. BY the advice
Of our village doctors 7 took her to
an institution, but she became par.
TALLY al imbecile. We tried lcain,
with the same result.
"She tried many times to commit
suicide and she was committed to N
insane asylum, but she pleaded
so for mercy that fled with her to
distant state, and since she has
been to institution after institution.
She is now spent. humili-
ated, sorrowful invalid, helpless and
sick. Our money is gone and our
lives spent in a useless fight"

Gasoline Propelled
Passenger Car viii
Run on TAG. Road

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. S.
Operation of the new gasoline pro-
PEELED combination passenger and
baggage car on the Tennessee, Ala
bama and Georgia railroad between
this city and Gadsden, will be in
augurated September /. This is the
first time gasoline car of this type
has ever been used on the regular
schedule of Dixie railroad.
The car provides for forty pas
sengers, a section being reserved for
negroes. 1t is built on the lines of
the average Pullman, being steel
throughout and weighing $4,000
pounds. 1t is equipped with air
brakes and has all standard safety
appliances usually found on late
model passenger coaches. The manu-
facturers claim that the operation
of this type of equipment on short
line railways is considerably more
economical than electric or steam
propelled coaches. The car is capable
of making fifty miles an hour and
will average five to six miles per
gallon Of gasoline.
Like an automobile, the car is
operated with gearshifts, but has six
speeds forward instead Of three. On
sharp grade the gear is shifted
just as it would be in an automobile
The engine is of the four-cylinder
type and it's power is estimated at
sixty-eight horsepower.
HARTMAN AND M'KEEN
BROUGHT CAR INTO USE
OMAHA. Neb., Aug. S.-Born of
the. genius of E. H. Hartman and
the inventive ingenuity of William
Riley McKeen, the motor driven rail
road car came into existence as a
potential transportation factor on
March %, 1905.
The gasoline car is the creation of
Mr.. Mckeen, who also built the first
steel freight and passenger cars.
Mr.. Hartman suggested the posi-
bilities of the gasoline coach in 1908,
