 IN CONSTITUTION
MobieI County Hampered In
 Effort To Get Roads Built

MOBILE. Ala, June 25.--tSpecial Leased Wire.l-Failing in their effort to get favorable report on the pro posal that the John Craft highway be extended to Satsuma and that the sand asphalt combination of material be used on the highway, members of the board of revenue are convinced more than ever that people of the county should insist upon a change in the state con stitutiori to permit the issuance of bonds for road construction, according to a statement at the board of revenue to- day. Chairman Albert s. Towle, who wants the state commission to use the sand-asphalt material as an experiment. said that the county's cramped finari- cial condition will not permit the ex- penditure of money for permanent roads, and that the construction should be changed to permit the floating of more bonds for road work.
 Mir. Towie said that the delegation from Mobile county, in attendance at the state commission meeting, was told that many counties have not beeen given any roads from the $25, ,000, 900 bond is- sue,. and that Mobile has been given around $40O,O00. Because of this the state commission would not promise to do any additional work soon.

SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
(stats Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June B. Judging from expressions from various sources it has apparently been agreed by almost unanimous consent that high transportation charges exert an inn portant influence in the high price which the consumer pays for farm pro- duce which the farmer sells at a low price. The theory is that the farmer must sell low because the transporta- tion cost must be figured into the ulti- mate cost of his product, while the con- sumer buys on a market quite bullish as a rule by the time the transportation cost has been added and the produce de- livered to him.
 Frank P. Morgan, associate member of the Alabama Public Service Com mission, has expressed himself as in agreement with the consensus of opin- lon which holds that high transit charges exert an influence on ultimate high prices. At the same time, he sug- gested that perhaps something more than transportation charges may be figured into the ost-to-the-consumer by some one in between the farmer and the consumer. As a member of the Ala bama Public Service Commission, Mir.

 Transportation charges undoubtedly play an important part in the market } ing of the farmers crops," Mir. Nor gan stated in discussing the problem to- day. Tt is we'll enough, however, to keep an eye on the middleman. In this connection, noted with interest on a recent trip to New Orleans, that cu- cumbers were retailing there at seven for a dime, while at Montgomery the price at the same time was 5 cents a piece. This difference in price in all probability not wholly atributal to transportation charges"
 T happen to know, speaking of cu- cumbers, that there is great distress among cucumber growers of Baldwin county, as a result of market condi- tions," Mir. Morgan added. T wonder how much the growers in Baldwin county get for the cucumbers which re- tails at s cents a piece?"

and they just naturally had to ilght with somebody. After you are grown up YOU can't go around picking fights with the public and your friends and vou have to fall back on the person you are married to, as he's always handy.
 q never heard anything like the way you talk!" the romantic girl declared Tn great dismay. 'Just as though quarrels came as a matter of, course, like grocery bills and taxes. Do you mean to say, Ipswich, that you and l are going to act like that after we are married! "Surest thing!" the handsome but matter-of-fact young man told her earnestly, "No matter how thoroughly you agree with my every thought now, Barcelona, it will not be long after we are married when you will discover how foolish most of my ideas are and you will not have the slightest reluctance in informing me of the fact"
 And" inquired the romantic girl with her chin rather high, 3"do you mean to say that you are going to say horr1d things to me and disagree with me and be bossy and snappy when you feel like it, just the way other husbands act that Ve Seeu!
 q could get large pay in museum if I didn't" the handsome young man assured her. They'd be warranted in expending huge sums advertising their remarkable exhibit. Here they would point out, is the only married man ex- tant who continued to converse as though he were merely engaged and on his good behavior. I'd be a regular gold mine to manager! It won't mean that I love you any less when I bawl you out, Barcelona, and you want to get that clear right now!"
 Was Lily May really going home?'
 "Oh. mo-" soothed the handsome young man cheerfully. "She just hauled out two suitcases and emptied her dresser drawers and packed up all her party dresses and things and rolled up several rugs she particularly wanted and re- minded Edwin to mark the milk card or the milkman would leave two bottles in stead of one and there was no need of all that waste even if she wouldn't be there and he'd have no expenses beyond those for himself. And she asked me to help the janitor bring up her wardrobe trunk and please to phone about trains just the ordinary procedure you see.
 "Of course suppose sometimes when there is nobody around to step in and take off the curse of making up she has to go through with it and there is an- other star in the divorce court crown, but when I judged that the moment had arrived when Lilly May was all sputter- ed out and ready to quit, but didn't know how to do it and save her face, I told Edwin he ought to be ashamed to abuse his poor little wife that way and Lilly May said yes indeed, he had, and Edwin removed his cigar from his mouth long enough to agree and mention that he'd like pancakes for breakfast and Lilly May said oh all right if he felt that way she wasn't one to hold grudge and so she put things back in the bureau drawers and I judged it was safe to leave and come on over here!"
 Tt doesn't sound right some way" the romantic girl said, much perplexed. Anyhow, I'm perfectly positive it is absolutely impossible for us ever to be- have in that manner!"
 "Well, that'll be real nice," the hand some but matter-of-fact young man told her politely.

for her is great enough to endure the ostracism of his friends, be- cause it will take years and years of clean living for her to wipe out her past. Of course, in strict justice, the woman who has lived an i'm moral life is no worse than the man who has lived loosely; but, unfortu- nately, the world does not. judge them alike. It still draws its skirts away from the woman and invites her partner in sin to dinner. And since this is true, it makes marry ing a woman to reform her a very hazardous thing for a man to do.
