Dawes Made Expression While
 Overseas

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 21.- Col. George A. Glenn of the adjutant generals department, tells story of how General Charles G. Dawes, re- gently nominated as Vhe republican candidate for vice president, received his nickname of Hell and Maria"
 American troops in France were badly in need of supplies, which were slow coming over from the states, Col. Glenn said. Conditions finally became so bad that General Dawes, who was in charge of the purchase of supplies for the A. E. F., cut through red tape and obtained supplies in Europe on his own initiative.
 General Dawes immediately was haled upon the carpet" for this act. and when questioned as to why he did it in this manner, and did not wait to get the supplies through the proper channel, he burst out Hell and Ma ria, gentlemen, this is war"
 The Hell and Maria stuck.

MISTRIAL LOOMS
 FOR FOURTH TIME
Jury. Still Deliberating After Being Out For
 Thirty Hours

MOBILE, Ala, June 21.-The case of Tom Cleveland, charged with the murder of S9 years old Stephen Loss ing, today took another unusual turn when the jury deliberating on Cleve- lands fate failed to make any sort of report throughout the day although up 10 midnight tonight the case had been in it's hands for approximately thirty hours. ,50
 This is, the fourth jury that has sought to reach verdict on the trial of Cleveland and although no intima- tion whatsoever as to how the jury stands reached the public today belief was expressed in court circles that this trial of Cleveland like the three former ones would end in mistrial.
 Tom Cleveland's case has been one of the most unusual and hardest fought in the criminal history of Alabama. Although his father, Captain Jack Cleveland, member of the Mobile county board of revenue and road com was convicted of murder ing Tossing in one trial and his cousin, Son" Cleveland, was acquitted of similar charge in one trial, Tom Cleve land has now been tried four times without any verdict being rendered as yet. He is the first man in Alabama ever to face trial for his life four diff ferent times and terhaps the only one in the south.

HABITUAL SOTv
 IS DESCRIBED
 BY HIGH COURT

ME oNTGOMERY, Ala, June 21. W Definition of "habitual
 drunkarde has been handed down by the supreme court in the settlement of divorce suit from Jefferson county in which the wife sought and obtained divorce based on habitual drunkenness on the part of her husband.
 The supreme courts opinion said: 'Habituar implies more than once, and may not appear from several occasions under special circum- stances. Yet, it does not imply that drunkenness shall be st regular periods, nor occur every time one has access to intoxicating liquors, nor every time he actually drinks. The hibit of getting drunk is the con dition aimed at, and is to be deter mined by the. course of conduct shown in each case"
 The opinion said that it is com mon knowledge that "the continued use of alcoholic liquors creates a craving or thirst therefor, which steadily breaks down ones powers of resistance"

By K. A. BEELER Secretary, Alabama Wool and Sheep

Growers Association
 While the process has been rather slow, it has been certain, in the awaken ing of the sheep interests of the state, the past year. The Alabama Wool and Sheep Growers association last year held a barbecue to demonstrate what a 90-day pasture period would do in the way of fattening sheep for the market. Just 90 days from the time the sheep arrived on the pasture, in the poorest condition one could imagine. the com mittee selected ten head for slaughter for the big feed These sheep were fat and in fine butcher shape, ana those who participated in the eating had un limited praise for the barbecue. What this pasture did is possible for any pasture in the prairie lands of Alabam to do. Had these been a good grade of sheep, they would have perhaps weighed more than they did. However. there was no doubt that the grasses, that come here without effort on the part of man, are of such nature that it will put the fat on sheep.
 This was the first of an annual dem onstration to be put on by the sheep interests, and this year some time in July they will hold another barbecue. to try to convince the importance of better breeding The railroads have awakened somewhat to the importance of hauling sheep in more business-like way, and this year, some lambs that were brought to the Montgomery mar ket and had bid of IA cents per pound live weight, were forwarded to Louis vile and brought 17 cents on that mar ket after taking the ride.
 Work Of Three Years
 It certainly is encouraging to the sheep interests to know that within three years there has developed a strong CT attitude toward the lamb crop, inas- much as three years ago lambs that would only bring cents pound brought 1113 cents on the northern markets, a margin of over 6 cents per pound Between the Alabama market and the northern market. This year the margin was only 3 cents and we hope to be able in the next two or three years to have the lambs of better grades and to command as good prices as we can get on the Louisville, St. Louis or Chicago markets. Most of the spring lambs grown in the south are earlier than those grown farther north and bring higher price. This year just before Easter, spring lambs reached a price of 30 cents per pound on the Chi cago market. We can produce this spring lamb here better than anywhere else in the United States, and after we get our sheep men to realize the impor- tance of having them come early and shape them ready to market early, they will be able to sell at Montgomery, to order buyers, for the eastern trade and ship direct over the Atlantic Seaboard lines to Washington and New York, where the bulk of the spring lambs are consumed.
 We hope within the next few years to increase the number of sheep grown in the state, to many times the number now here, and to have much better quality. By putting lambs on the mar ket around the first of April, we can always command third higher price

Alaban1a Wool Growing|
 Is Fine Field For Profit
Ideal To Raise Early Spring Lambs Which Com
 mand Highest Market Price \

for good stuff that at any other time of the year.
 We have demonstrated that it is just as handy to grow them, and with half the expense that the middle west grows them for the hothouse trade, as the spring lamb trade is known.
 Community Units
 The Alabama Wool and Sheep Grow ers' association has grown and while it has been slow it is gradually work ing out into forming community units, as branches of the mother association, and will eventually not only have ev. cry sheep man in the state, with it. but will have hundreds of other farm CTS that are not in the sheep game. coming along with plenty of lambs and wool. We have one sure pull on a fellow who once gives it a fair trial {; we never have to urge him again. He will stick. Why would not any one be willing to grow sheep, when he has a lot of land bringing in nothing at this time. and by stocking it up with sheep. it will pay more than anything he could possibly put on it?
 It is safe to say that eve that will cost S10 bill, will bring back to it's purchaser $10 bill, net, for every 12 months he owns her, if he will just give her an average amount of attention, and the least possible chance to make good. This does not mean that she will have to be nursed and q lot of costly labor put out on her. On the contrary, she will produce more for the amount of labor than anything you could tackle. One man will easily han dle 300 ewes if the proper fencing has been done to start with. That is, one man will constitute all the labor recessary to take the best of care of her Fifteen hundred good ewes will make $10 net for the owner every 12 months. The man who wishes to make money will not overlook this fact for long, for 100 per cent is good rate of interest for farmer. Many lambs that are not worth anything at this time can be made to pay some hand some net interest rates.
 What Alabama Can Do
 The United States produces only about 12 per cent of the wool of the world. according to writer in the American Sheep Breeder and Wool Grower and that on about 52,000,O0O sheep. We have room for more than 100000 sheep in Alabama alone, and the time is not far distant when we will have the financial interests of the state very active in the sheep indus try The sheep have come to stay in this state, and the faster they come the quicker there will be a considerably in- creased income for the state that is now unknown.
 It would pay any man who has lot of unprofitable land in the south to investigate and learn more about what sheep will do for him. The Alabama Wool and Sheep Growers association is strictly an educational concern that is non-commercial and furnishes any data at it's command free for the ask ing. We have no paid officers, and are organized for the sole purpose of bettering the sheep industry.

OPELIKA BANKS
 HELP FARMERS FIGHT WEEVIL

APELIKA, Ala, June 21.-(Spe- ial.)-With the slogan, Be
 gin in time to control boil weevils," the banks of Lee county and the business men of Opelika are lending every encouragement to the farmers to flight boil weevils and fight them hard this year." Several banks have mailed circular letters to their farmer customers calling at tention to the importance of proper boil weevil control measures at this time, and the Rotary club of Opelika, is pushing this work individually and as an organization.
 In half page advertisement in the Opelika Daily News, the Rotary club gives instructions as to how boil weevils may be poisoned ef-s fectively. Instructions are in line with control measures outlined by the agricultural college at Auburn, consisting, in the main, of applying a home made sweetened poison just before squares are formed, followed by dry calcium arsenate for all later appica tions.
