'Tn this continuity of service"
Secretary Hughes said, there is the
opportunity for the formation of
personal friendships which are very
important as compared with the ge"-
eral disposition to be friendly, which
IS always cultivated in our diplomat
&c relations. And so we pay our
tribute to the retiring Minister of
Ecuador in recognition of his skill
n his profession, of his fidelity and
patriotic zeal, which has always
characterized the performance of his
mission, and especially and more par
'icularly would We indicate to him
that these years of association have
created very strong personal bond
Of our attachment-So strong, indeed,
hat his separation from US will not
be able to sever it or even to weaken
memory as one of those with whom
we are privileged to meet, to hold
converse, as a friend who has been
assigned to new duties
Success Is Assured.
Ambassador Matthew declared: 1--WE
do not wish to say goodbye to him
for this word -ignfies a parting for
ever, and the earth is small, rount
and revolves constantly, giving the
hope of another meeting, and very
soon, because we diplomats, like pill
Erims traversinE the roads of the
world, are always destined to meet
on one OF them. Ne er do we wish
TO express to him l..e usual wishes
for the success of his new mission
hecase we, who have seen from close
at hand his diplomatic talents, take
that for granted"
In response, Minister Elizalde said
"ft is sad TO leave this country and
Its people whom we of the South
learn to love as soon as we begin
20 understand them. 1t is to be
source of much consolation to recall

The city heads also turned down
the request Of the same organiza-
ton for Commute parking of auto
mobiles in the center of Thirteenth
street between F and l streets, with
no parking at the curbs.
On recommendation OF Maj. W. II.
Holcombe, chairman of the traffic
board. the Commissioners decided to
have angle parking at the curb for
one hour. Maj. Holcombe explained
that 1t would be difficult for. the
police to prevent parking entirely at

there to load and unload. with cars
,arked in the center of the street
md other machines stopping at the

would be too narrow, he told the
Commissioners.
Fewer Trees to BE Planted.
Although trees will be planted
there will be only about half as many

COTTON BAGG[NG
 WEIGHTS FIXED
Must Not Weigh Over 21 Pounds, Moore
 Warns
lState Capital Bureaul

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Sept T.- Commissioner of agriculture J. NJ. Moore, in a general letter to cotton mills of Alabama, Georgia and Tennes- see has called attention to the provi- sions of the state law in Alabama re- lative to ginning and baling of cotton. The law provides that not less than l IS or more than 21 pounds of bagging and ties shall be placed upon a bale of cotton, and prescribes other details as to bdgging and ties.
 Establishment of uniform standards of weight for bagging and ties, giving a basis for uniform tare on cotton, means a saving of four or five pounds per bale to farmers, as compared with the days of no regulation, when bale of cotton was likely to have anywhere from IS to 30 pounds of bagging and ties, according to Mir. Moore.
 In this letter to the cotton mill peo- pie of Alabama, Georgia and Tennes- see Commissioner Moore quoted the Ala bama regulations -as-~to baling cotton,
 Does cotton reaching your mill from Alabama gins comply with this law! If not in all instances, kindly report thC pIlNdte IHdTh OE edCn SUCH DdIe as is over or under Jared and the | origin of the cotton to the best of your knowledge. This information will greately assist the department in put ting an end to; the unnecessary expense Tor excess tare absorbed in the price paid to the farmers and will enable you to purchase cotton on the basis of a uniform tare."
