this afternoon.
So far the investigation of the

Ex-dairy Inspector Stewart
And DR.. George FerIing Ap-
pear Before the State Vet
erinarian Board.
Or. DAVIS DEFENDS
NEW MILK INSPECTOR
He Says That the Office Is Not
Such as Would Require an
Expert Veterinarian to Hold
Down Job.

DIR. George Ferling. a veterinarian,
and DR.. Mark A. Stewart, former dairy
Inspector, went to indianapolis yester-
day for the purpose of entering a pro-
test with the State Board of Veterina-
rians against the appointment of
Charles Flock as dairy inspector for
this city. on the ground that he is an
iron moulder and not veterinary
and therefore is not competent to act
in the capacity of dairy inspector. as
he has no knowledge of administering
the tuberculine test to cattle. The
State Board informed DIR. Ferling and
DR.. Stewart that it had nothing to do
in the matter and could only certify
that Flock was not a veterinary.
The appointment of Charles Flock as
dairy inspector has been the occasion
of considerable comment. 1t is alleg-
ed by some that Flock, being an iron
moulder. is not acquainted with the du-
ties Of dairy inspector and incompetent
to fill that position. However, &C
cording to DR.. T. Henry Davis, who is
secretary of the board of health, the
duties of dairy inspector are not such
as to require the knowledge of vet
erinary-
What the Law Says.
He states that the law points out
plainly that the dairy inspectors du-
ties consist merely in the enforcing OF
sanitary conditions around the dairies
and reporting to the secretary of the
local board of health the condition OF
the health that prevails at each place
and the care of the milk and the col
lecting of the same for analysis. DR.
Davis states that it was not necessary
for the dairy inspector to be familiar
with the tuberculine test as the ad
ministering of such tests was beyond
his Jurisdiction and was not required
to be done by him according to law,
DR.. Davis declared that the protest
that was being raised over the ap
pointment of Flock as dairy inspector
was not justified. He pointed out
where it was an advantage for the
dairy inspector to be unfamiiias. with
the tuberculine tests In that the lack
Of such knowledge necessltated the

RALLY DAY WAS
 VERY SUCCESSFUL

The rally day services at the Firsi over 300 people, nearly all of whom had been or are now connected with the school.
 Superintendent F. W. Dixon and his corps of assistants were delighted with the great beginning of their winter work The Sunday school room was too small for the crowd and the service was held in the main auditorium.
 Fifty-seven ladies appeared in the ladies class. A half hundred fathers were present and every department had it's full quota. The babies of the cradle roll occupied one section, with an easy exit by the side door in case they be- came too much interested in the mu- sic.
 The service was one of song and prayer, and talk for Sunday school work longer and stronger was the motto for the day. After responsive reading by the school of Psalm 72 and a violin solo by Wilson Seawright, inter- esting talks were made by Miss Minnie Kennedy and Superintendent Dixon A census of the school was taken and the exercises then turned over to the pri- mary and junior departments, score or more of little tots singing and recit- ing. The pastor, pr. John s. Foster, made an encouraging talk. urging ev- cry member to resolve to set the mark still higher and pull all the harder to reach it.

BIG MIDWAY WILL
 PLEASE PATRONS

' The biggest and best State Fair, the biggest sum offered for premiums, the biggest and most expensive list of free attractions and the cleanest and bright est collection of midway shows is Secre- tary Chaffees menu for the State Fair which opens Thursday.
 The very cream of the midway shows has been garnered from the expositions at Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville They will be placed along the driveway of the fair grounds and will lend color to the fair.
 "Cleanness" will be the distinguishing feature of these midway shows. They will be bright, but such as the purest mind may see and enjoy thoroughly. Of course, they will not all be above the suspicion of faking, Everybody knows that they are not genuine in every case That is part of the game of fair seeing One will pay his 10 cents, know that he will see gigantic fake, but being at the fair he must see it all. "Who cares anyway" is the spirits of the times at fair.
 The midway shows at the State Fair will number 1S They will stretch way down the line, but the visitor to the fair this year will thoroughly enjoy every inch of the way as he travels along, pays his nckels and dimes and takes his medicine.
 There will be the camels that rock as the camels of Egypt rock. They'll show their yellow teeth as the camels of the desert show theirs and the Arabianized American who will boost you up on their backs will look very much like the gen uine care-free sons of the far-away desert.
 The curious customers with the weirc dances that one always associates witt camels will be there And the wild gir from somewhere will scream and claw al the visitor, for she is to come to the great Alabama State Fair. Real h. dians from somewhere out west will wear their war paint and execute war dances and snake dances.
 Bosco, the snake eater, is to come, too He will bite the heads from a dozen snakes every hour. He'll do stunts to satisfy the cravings of the most morbid appetite. Hard by his tent, will be the midget queen only 24 inches high, the most perfectly formed but smallest wom- an in all the world. Her clothes come direct from Paris and as she stands she is worth her weight in gold. Her cos tunes are costly as those of the ladies of the royal houses of the old world. Only dime, ladies and gents right this way, do not crowd too fast, give those people back there chance to get in. There is plenty of time.
 "The only really, genuine wild west Broadway-cow ponies trained in Pro- lessor de Smiths equine school, hard by Fifth avenue, in New York" will come in with a western yell
 Every body will be pleased with the Midway this season
