Her story was simple and direct, but it told of suffering beyond the ken of half the crowd that bought her wares. Its end ing most always was death. Committees of young women from the Washington seminary had charge of the lobbies in the Third National, Fourth National, Lowry National and Atlanta National banks today, and it was seldom that a depositoi got by them without making a purchase of Red Cross seals. The college gills entered into the campaign with enthusiasm and went after results. They got them, too Bank depositors were halted tight and left, coming and going, and just could not resist, through purchase of the seals, making their contribution to the anti-tuberculosis fund. Young women from the seminary in automobiles also spent the day in dis tributing advertising matter and Re I Cross seals in all the drug stores in and around Atlanta.

When Miss Woodberry learned that one of her girl pupils liad made a mix ture of matrimony and knowledge, she at once declared a recess, called forth the protesting bride and introduced her as "our new student. Mrs. Grady Walk er.” Instantly the school was converted into a scene of jollification. The girls cheered the “new pupil” lustily, and then swarmed about her, showering upon her congratulations and good wishes. “I have an extra teacher now. and I’m going to make him help me every night.” Mrs. Walker confidently told the girls, as she laughed merrily.

WASHINGTON. Dee. 7.—The most productive ye ir in the history of the United States has drawn to a close, ac cording to the annual report of Secre tary of Agriculture Wilson to the pres ident, just Issued. Basing his figures on the census items on wealth production on farms, Secre tary Wilson values the grand total of the 1912 crop at $9,532,000,000. Be sides the production of the soil, this imount includes the live stock output. In commenting on the productive ness - i the past year in relation to those preceding, Secretary Wilson said: ' The enormous sum represented by the crop output of the United States for 1912 Is mon? than twice the value of the wealth produced on farms in 1899, according to the census, and it is about one-half more than the wealth produced in 1909. "During the past sixteen years, the farmer has steadily increased his wealth production year by year, with the exception of 1911, when the value declined from that of the preceding year. If wealth produced on farms in 1899 he regarded as 100, the wealth pro duced sixteen years ago, or in 1897, is represented as 84. and the wealth pro duced in 1912 as 202.1. During the six teen years the farmer’s wealth has in creased 141 per cent. During the past sixteen y ears the wealth production on farms, according to the census items, reached the grand total of more than $105,000,000,000. Uplift in Country Life. In conclusion, the secretary said: "There has been an uplift of agri culture any! country life. Beginnings have been made in a production per acre increasing faster than the nat ural increase of population. "In this movement the department of agriculture has been gradually equip ped to occupy the foremost place. It came to learn; it has remained to teach. Its teaching, its discoveries and its im provements are permeating the national agricultural life. The forces that are at work must cause ever-increasing re sults.” Secretary Wilson included a crop statement which showed that the corn yield held the lead. The estimated val ue of this product was $1,750,000,000. the yield reached the high water mark of 3,169,000.000 bushels. Hay was given second place in the estimated figures contained in the sec retary's report. The yield was 72,425,- 000 tons, which was held to be worth $861,000,000. "The importance of this crop," says the report, “is better real ized when it is observed that its value is greater than that of the cotton crop, and nearly as great as the combined values of the wheat, tobacco and pota to crops." Cotton Worth $860,000,000. The report states that it is too early to estimate the production of cotton this year. $860,000,000 was placed as a pos sible figure for this crop. The wheat yield, as estimated by the department, will be worth to the farmer $596,000,000. Oats were placed as the fifth crop in order, the value being estimated at $478,000,000. The value of the potato crop was placed at $190,000,000; the barley crop at $125,000,000, and tobac co at $97,000,000. The value of the 1912 tlax seed, rye, rice, buckwheat and hops crops yvere set at $30,000,000. $24,- 000,000. $20,000,000 $12,000,000 and $11,000,000 respectively. The production of sugar from the beet was set at 700,000 tons, 100,000 tons more than that of last year.

This has been the most productive of all agricultural years in the ountry. Based on the census of wealth production on farms, the grand total for 1912 is estimated at $9,532.000,000 —more than twice the amount of wealth produced on farms in 1899. During the past sixteen years the weatlh production on farms, according to census items, has reached the grand total of more than $105,000,000,000.

ELOPER HEED AS BIMIST FREED Father’s Accusations Are Not Proved and Police Refuse to Detain Son-in-Law. Detained in the police station for sev eral hours suspected of having a living wife in South Carolina, J. T. Cunning ham. a West End contractor, wno two months ago eloped with and married sixteen-year-old Sarah Mashburn, of 43 Robins street, today was freed by' Chief Beavers when it developed there was no evidence and no definite charge against him. M. M. Mashburn, father of the girl, informed the chief he had received in formation to the effect that Cunning ham has another wife in the Palmetto state, but the information was not in such shape as to warrant the accused son-in-law being held. Cunningham protested his innocence repeatedly. At the time of the elopement the fa ther of the girl so strenuously opposed the marriage that he called the police to halt the ceremony. They arrived just in time to hear the concluding words of the marriage ceremony, pronounced by the pastor of the Walker Street Meth odist church. Mashburn, pere, did not rest, how ever. and today’ he told Chief Beavers that he had received information that the man had another wife in South Carolina. Investigation proved that Mashburn’s evidence was entirely indefinite and no warrant having been sworn out, the chief ordered the contractor’s release. When Cunningham, who is 33 years old, took his girl-wife, he had been liv ing in the same house with the Mash burns. It was there that he lost one wife, who died suddenly of acute kidney trouble.

KIN DF CLAY TO iKE LAST PLEA Family of Slayer Will Ask Gov ernor to Commute Death Sentence. The entire family of Robert L. Clay, wife slayer and alleged maniac, con demned to die on the gallows in the Tower next Friday, will appear before Governor Brown Monday morning and make a final plea to save him. The governor will be asked to com mute the death sentence to life Im prisonment. and if this appeal fails. Attorney W. M. Smith, counsel for the doomed man, will ask for the appoint ment of a special lunacy commission to examine Clay and report on his men tal condition. Should a lunacy commission be ap pointed, it is likely that Clay will be respited, pending the examination and report. In the meantime, officials at the jail are preparing for the execu tion. During his trial, several months ago. Clay was declared sane by a commis sion of three alienists —Drs. James Baird, James Ellis and S. H. Green — appointed by the court. The county commission since*has declined to pay for their services, and Clay’s friends are without funds to obtain another ex amination. For this reason W. M. Smith has ad dressed a letter to the three physicians who examined Clay, urging them to make another test as a professional duty. "My connection with the case Is un der appointment from the court, and without compensation,” says Smith.

It is caused by a disorder of the pigmentary glands in the hair follicles, due to such causes as a shock, fever, wearing of heavy hats, neglect in caring for the hair, . Don’t Paint Your Hair. Most gray-haired persons make the mistake of relying upon what are c..m monly sold as hair stains, dyes, dyeing combs, etc. It would be quite as sen-L --ble to use ink or stove polish, for these cheap and nasty dyes deceive nobodv except those who use them. The color is unnatural, and everybody easily knows what has been done. The hai* has been merely painted. These dvrs soon wash oft, usually discoloring th® skin, clothing, pillows, etc., and ugly streaks of strange shades cover th" hair. Restoration of Color. Scientists have been studying the problem for years. We are confident the best hair darkening method has been evolved, which has its object not merely in restoring the hair to the natural shade of youthful days, but in developing a luxuriant, silky, strong, beautiful growth. The hair roots and glands are reach ed scientifically, and the best possible results are attained. This new method is directed at causing the hair to dark en gradually, so that the appearance is that of improving health and vigor. Information Free.
