COTTON QUEEN" TO
TRY FOR CONGRESS
WOMAN OWNER OF HUGE
PLANTATION WOULD REP
RESENT FARMERS.

DECATUR, A1a.-The Cotton
Queen of the South" Mrs. Leila Sc
ton Edmundson, is going to run for
congress from the Eighth congress
sional district, in Alabama, "and is
going to win, you tell EN-" Mrs. Ed
mundson is mistress of Wilder Place,
magnificent 1,600-acre plantation
along the Tennessee river, near De
catur
Il am sick and tired of writing and
talking to our congressman concerning
the enactment of national laws look
ing to the benefit of our southern cot
ton planters. This is the reason | have
announced my candidacy for congress.
And | am going to win, too, says
Mrs. Edmundson.
Has Wide Experience.
1t is doubtful if there are any other
persons in the eighth district who are
so we'll qualified to represent the cot
ton growers in congress. Mrs. Ed
mundson has had experience in all
phases Of cotton raising and the busi-
ness of managing a plantation.
When the bottom fell out OF the cot
ton market at the close OF the world
war Mrs. Edmundson, in company
with her husband, made three trips to
Italy to sell cotton. There she estab-
lished a market not only for her own
cotton but also for the product OF
many of her neighbors.

Kissing Games at a
Church Social Gave a
Whole Village the Flu
State Department of Health So Re-
ports Regarding Epidemic That
Bowled Over 40 of 81 Guests.

Ever since Friday, Feb 10, Coram,
L. l., a little village near Patchogue,
has had an influenza epidemic, and the
secret has just leaked out through the
state board of health. The villagers
played kissing games at party, and
of the 81 persons present 40 contract
ed influenza in a pronounced form.
Among the victims were the minister
and his wife and the school teacher.
Charitably inclined, COram's church
members, it seems, decided to give an
old time social" for the benefit OF a
needy resident The party was held at
the home OF Mrs. Edward Still, whose
13-vear-old son had just been taken i'll
with influenza. With the arrival OF
the guests, including six little girls
near his own age, the boy could not
resist the temptation to join the party.
Kissing was on the menu OF Co
rams social, and while every one who
became i'll may not have been kissed,
nevertheless the health officials say the
kissing games were responsible Tor
spreading the epidemic.
An unsolved mystery OF the party
lies in the fact that FIVE young girls,
said to have been "centers OF attrac-
tor" did not contract the disease.
Asked if this indicated that girls can't
contract the flu" from kisses, DR..
Louis l. Harris refused to commit
himself. The party Melted about SIS
for the needy person, and cost the
host and guests several hundred dol
airs Tor doctor bills.

MUSSEL SHOALS PORT
FOR ADVENTURES
PLACE HAS PROVED MAGNET
TO FORTUNE HUNTERS. ARE
WARNED TO STAY AWAY.

FLORENCE, Ala.-With the inter
est of the nation fixed for months on
Mnsse1 Shoals, near Florence, Ala, an
influx of people to the district has
constituted a problem that has taxed
the ingenuity of town and civic au-
thorities. Agitation of the potential
strength OF the "South's Niagara" and
the possibilities that were expected
speedily to be fulfilled in event OF de
velopment OF the latent war project,
turned a veritable stream OF humanity
in search OF the FL Dorado.
People arrived on foot, in horse
carts, in motor cars, in day coaches
and palatial drawing rooms. There
were men with money seeking invest
ments and men in overalls seeking
work. There were adventures looking
for easy money" Some men spent
money lavishly, while Others were
wards of the community and had to
be fed.
Warned to Stay Away,
The problem became so grave that
the town authorities OF Florence,
Sheffield and Tuscumbia municipal
ties composing the districts 'trl-
cities" sent out warning for all to
stay away from Mussel Shoals unless
they came on legitimate business and
had an engagement i'll advance. This
stopped some of the fortune hunters,
but not all.
Real estate boards were formed
in the three cities to prevent any prof
iteering in prices of land, and, as a
result, changes in real estate have not
been accompanied by any unsual
amount of money. The authorities also
acted promptly to stop any prohteer-
ing on the part of hotels and restau-
rants and as result the prices charg-
ed at these places are the same as be-
fore the rush began.
Work on Woodpile.
The municipal woodpile at Sheffield
has afforded scores of adventures the
opportunity of square meal. So bur
densomc became the task OF feeding
the jobless that town hit upon the no
work no-soup plan. Every man who
wanted food and shelter chopped
wood. As a result many household
ers burned wood and scores Of hungry
men were led.
Authorities of the tri-cities say the
three municipalities will constitute the
hub from which will radiate one OF
the industrial miracles of the age, no
matter who the successful bidder may
be for the government property.

Dun's Report.

NEW YORK, Apr. 7.-With recogni- tion of the unsatisfactory conditions which still prevail, the fact is never theless clear that the business revival is being extended. Close observers of conditions do not disregard the dele terious influence of present labor troubles, nor the unsettling effect Of past economic Teadjustments, but 8 basis unmistakably exists for the statement that the scope of the re- covery is widening While uniformity of improvement is conspicuously lack ing, irregularity of demand aud prices is natural concomitant of commer- cial recuperation. and it's absence now would be surprising. The mainten- ance of conservative policy in many quarters is more to be desired after the experience of the last two years than repitition of wholesome Infla- tion, and prudent action at this time affords a solid foundation for subse- quent progress. That confidence has strengthened rather than lessened Is indicated, and gains in actual trans ations haves exceeded expectations some important industries.

 The enormous and imponderable world awfully unbalanced. Upside down. Extraordinarily unreal, furl- ously. real.
 Life, what has been thing of events in which there was, no tune, only events.
 Things began one day very shortly after the declaration of war when, passing the barracks on his way home, sabre was aeeosted and taken into the Mess by Cottar, a subaltern of the Pinks.
 You must come along and have cup of tea" young Cotter urged. We've got hell of jamborino on. At least we shall have tonight We're just working up for it. l cant tell you why. You can guess"
 Sabre felt a sudden catch at his emotions. ''Is the regiment going?"
 They were at the door of the ante room. Cottar swung it open. The room was full of men and tobacco smoke and noise. X very tall youth, one Sikes, was standing on the table, glass in his hand "Hullo, Sabre! whiskies for MT. Sabre.-go on Sabre, you must. Because" He had not Cottar's reticence. He burst into song waving his glass-"Be "Because-'

 Sabre felt frightfully affected. He could hardly speak.
 The blessed gift in the war wHs to be with out imagination. The supreme trial, whether in endurance on the part of those who stayed at home, or in courage on the part. of those who took the field, was uyon those whose metality invested every sight and eYcry' happening with the poignancy ot attributes not present but imagin- cd. For Sabre the war definitely be- gan FH'ith gthat Visit, to the Mess on the eYeSof thC Pink departure The high eScitment of the younger men, their eager planning, moved Sabre, visioning that might await it all. in depths profound and painful in their intensity.
