COOLIDGE PLAN
 FREES BUSINESS
 FROM CONTROL
Policy Of Service To Bring Less Interfer-
 ence, He Believes
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Service and mutual consideration were set up today by President Coolidge as the guiding principles in relations between the government and business in talk to delegates to the convention here of the National Association of Retail Druggists. 'i .
 The President again pledged himself to an administration guided so that there may be reduction of taxation and harmony in our foreign relations, that there may be peace and posperlty.
 Would Reduce Annoyances
 Pursuance of the policy of service, Mir. Coolidge said, will bring "less and less interference by the agencies of government" in business. It should be the aim of the government, he added, to make the contacts between business and the administration as flew as pos sible," and to reduce the burdens and annoyances to the minimum which is consistent with conservation of the broadest public interest.
 The President applauded the intro duction into business transactions Of the moral element-common interest between merchants and'scustomer, the sense of responsibility on both sides" and this he declared has been noticeable in your own business"
 MT. Coolidge addressed the delegates from the south portico of the White House.
 Senator Moses of New Hampshire, chairman of the republican senatorial committee, reported to President Cool idge today that the senate campaign as well as the national was progressing satisfactorily.
 A Fighting Chance
 A recent survey, MT. Moses said, showed that republican senatorial can didates had fighting chances in Ten nessee, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Colorado. and Montana. Outside of the southern states, he declared, republican candi- dates in all other states had safe up per hand.
 An appeal was made to President Coolidge toady by A. N. Mathers, rep resenting the Farmers CoOperative Beet Growers association of Nebraska to make permanent the present duty on sugar. Mathers told the President he had written commitments of ASA na- tional and state producers organiza- tions, 7,S00 banks, 400 newspapers and 297 Chamber of Commerce in states west of the Mississippi river favorins retention of the present duty on west ern farm products.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Sept 24.-The Huntsville Knitting mill, which has been idle during the last several weeks, resumed operations Monday and will run on full time indefinitely, according to the management. A recent large older for products of the mill was book ed and this alone will keep the mill go- ing and give employment to several hun dred people for quite a time. Other business is said to be in sight and it is the hope of the management that there will be no further curtailment.

SILHOUETTES OF STATE CAPITOL

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 24.- Three prominent scientists, Dr. Roland M. Harper and Dr. Walter Jones of the Alabama Geological survey, and Dr. l.. w. Stephenson of the United States geological survey, were visitors to the department of archives and history to- day. Dr. Stephenson was sent to Ala bama from Washington to establish the line of demercation of a certain geolo- gical formation which terminates just south of Clayton, in Barbour county.
 The geologists have visited the fossil beds at Chunnenuggee, near Union Springs, regarded as one of the most famous in the United States. While in this section, in Fillmore county, Dr. Harper located a species of hickory never before reported so far south.
 Foreign corporations to the number of 1,305 have taken out permits to do busi- ness in Alabama during 1924 to date, according to figures today from Secre- tary of State S. H. Elan. This shows a substantial increase over last year. In 1923, during that entire year, eleven hundred and ninety-five foreign corpor- ations received permits to do business.
 The 1924 record exceeds 1923 by one hundred and ten new foreign corpora tions, and there are yet over three months of this year, in which some scores of other corporations will likely qualify.
 Incidentally this also increases the revenue in the office of the secretary of state for this item, and increase already of over two thousand dollars over 1923, there being 5000 for permits in each and also 5000 for designation of an authorized agent, when the corporation is first admitted.
 The receipts from foreign corpora tions as well as all other moneys taken in by the secretary of state, go into the general fund of the state treasury.

The public was mildly interested because of a collection of superb Span ish shawls found in her attic. The son of one of the great fortunes went. to Europe forty years ago and stayed. He had been completely forgotten ex- cept that he gave the finest collection of medieval armour in the world to the Metropolitan Museum.
 This should be rounded off with a moral. But T don't know any.

 Some -blighter is reported to have swiped a hatful of diamonds from the dressing table of Mrs. Josh" Cosden on Long Island.

Those who know that Epinard is a horse and not vegetable are aware that the Cosden racing stable is one of the largest in the country.
 I am more interested in the gossip that at one time Josh Cosden twisted the controller of a Baltimore street car. Sometimes danced the tarantula on the bell-plate when some small colored child dozed on the track. He didn't stick at that job too long. Too big.

A short time before leaving Or
Iando, Florida, we attended an auc-
ton sale of some very desirable
house lots. The owner of the lots
was a western farmer who had
bought the land when it was cheap
and did not seem to realize its
present vaue. After four or five lots
had been sold. we made an offer for
the fifteen remaining lots, which was
accepted.
They are located in what is known
as the Yates Subdivision, which
borders on the Dixie Highway, the
main artery of travel to and from the
North and West.
More than mile north of this sub
division, on this same highway, one
of the largest developments in
Florida was started last year. The
best eighteen-hole golf links in
Florida is being constructed, and sur
rounding the links many fine homes
have been built by the leading citi-
zens of orlando. Lots are selling
there for more than double what we
shall offer ours for, although they
are a mile farther out from the city.
Our lots are on two new streets,
sixty feet wide, starting from the
Dixie Highway and running west
The streets are 800 feet apart, and as
our lots are 5Ox15O, they cover all OF
the land between the two streets. A
street also connects the two streets
in the rear of the property. but our
only object in Offering a few of our
lots at such low prices as we shall
name is that we can now buy a five
acre strip of land, which extends
