Cullman is rejoicing over the success of Congressman Burnett in getting a $5OOO appropriation for a site for government building here. This means a government building two years from now.
 The state high school board accepted an agreement made by Hanceville and Cullman to submit the question of the location of the county high school to an election of the qualified electors of the county and the election will be held June 27. Cullman thought she ought to have the school without an election, but when her plucky little neighbor made the chal- lenge she could not back down. c. Burkart of Hanceyille and s. J. Griffin of Cullman with one other to be selected by them, will constitute a board to hold the election and certify the returns. The state board, by resolution, has agreed to select the town getting the majority vote. While Cullman feels sure, she will make vigorous but friendly campaign for the location.
 All opposition to the majority or double primary ordered by. the executive com- mittee in this county has disappeared and full vote is expected here Monday quite number not having voted Tn the first primary expressing themselves as satis- fed and will vote in the "runoff."

President Rooseyelt's earnest desire that
four battleships be provided for at this
session will not receive the approval of the
House Committee on Naval Affairs.
While it has taken no vote on this propo.
sition, there is authority for predicting
that the committee will recommend the
construction of but two of these battle
ships. The warning Of Chairman Tawney,
Of the Committee on Appropriations, re-
garding the certainty of a heavy deficit
and the prospect Of decreased revenues
during tile next fiscal year is having a ten
dency TO compel the party leaders to hold
down the appropriations. 1t seems as
sured, however, that the proposition to
cut the proposed battleships from four to
two will be strenuously opposed by the
