Relieving Congestion on the
East Lake Line

This service is relieving the congestion which
has existed on the East Lake ne and is bringing the
resident east of Woodawn Station into closer touch
with Birmingham, saving from to 10 minutes time
on each trip 1t is also enabling the people living be-
tween Birmingham and Sixty-fourth street to
better service both coming to town and returning
home, as incoming the not filled before
reaching their stations, and outgoing there just
half as many people to ride.
We solicit the cooperation of the patrons of this
line in making this service adequate and effective.
The cars both lines will operate frequent sched
ue both morning and afternoon, and patrons will aid
themselves we'll as the company by taking the
that serve their portion of the line. Even by waiting
those who live east of Woodlawn Station will save
themselves great deal of time in returning home of
an evening; and those living west of Sixty-fourth
street will secure seats and better accommodations
both ways
This change is for the good of the service and
be made great success if the people will lend
their cooperation.

They are extremely numerous, and eX-
elusive of those in private houses they
number no fewer than SS.26s. 1t is rather
nrnnsine to note that Paris and the Seine
department have 1924 billiard tables,
ana Corsica only possesses 50, but there
are more in the north of France than in
the south For instance, in the Bouches
du Rhone, which comprises Marseiles,
there are only ISL billiard tables alto
gether The reason of this is that in
the south of France the weather tempts
customers to sit outside the cafe rather
than inside. and billiard playing is COM
paratively rare.

WILL NOT STOP
DRILL AT PROSPECT
Well is Gazing, But Work
Will Proceed.
NOW IN The TRENTON ROCK
Hope to Strike Oil in a
Short Time.
Stockholders Determine to Insure the
Drillers Against Loss and Proceed
TO Depth of at Least 5000 Feet.

The stockholders of the Prospect
oil company held a meeting i'm Pros
pect, Thursday evening, to discuss
matters concerning the well which the
company Is sinking south of the viii
lage. The drill has been sent down a
distance of 2,2OO and Is now about
500 feet I'm the Trenton rock, i'm or
under which the company expects to
strike oil.
For the past few days the well has
been caving a little and the drillers
have had several narrow escapes from
losing their tools In the hole. They
felt that the risk of losing them was
too great and determined to cease
work unless the company would in
sure them against losses. This was
the case for the meeting of the stock
holders Thursday evenin. 1t was de-
cided that the work should proceed
to a depth of 5000 feet and the drill
ers were authorized to proceed.
1t Is estimated that the Trenton
rock underlying the district Is from
| 500 to 700 feet in thickness and as II
is within this rock that oil is expect
to be found, the company Is de-
termined to make a thorough test of
the district and will not abandon work
after such an excellent start has been
made. If the present well does not
develop a flow of oil, 1t Is probable
one and possibl ytwo other wells VIII
| be put down before the work Is aban-
doned.

This is the Figure on the
New Appraisement
IS CONSIDERED TOO Low
City Will be Very Seriously
Handicapped.
Board of Appraisers Is Progressing
With the Work Very Nicely But
Some Changes May Have To BE
Made at the Last.

The quadrennial board of appraisers
Is hammering away on its work with
the possibility that 1t will be COM
pleted within ten days or two weeks,
The board members appear to have
thrown aside their personal differ
ences and determined to complete the
work without so much jangling and
dissenson and with fewer delays.
Since it was determined to make a
straight reduction of twenty-five per
cent. in all valuations in the city, the
work has been progressing very nice
ly, but there promises TO be hitch
in the proceedings before the end Is
reached. The new valuation, after
making the reduction of one-fourth,
promises to put the city into rather
an baTrassing position. The total
valuation within the city promises to
total little more than $l0,0O0,OOO, and
this sum- counting the limit of taxa
ton at 10 mills, will not produce suf-
fcient funds with which to run the
city. 1t is Just barely possible that
the board after II has made its re-
duction will be- forced to add n little
in order to keep the city out of the
hole.
These figures are based on the to-
tails which have been made for two
wards in the city, the Second and
Fourth. These two wards show to-
tai of something over $5,000,0Oo. The
other two wards, the First and Third,
1t is believed win about balance the
two which have been totaled. The
Third ward is the largest in the city
and will probably shoy a greater val
uation than any other, but the First
ward is the smallest and will show
less valuation than either the Sec
ond or Fourth.
The city must nave enough MONEY
to. keep it going and it is just barely
possible the valuations will have to
be increased somewhat.

The Habit Of Putting OFF Doing the

Serious Things Of Life.
Much of the unhapplness and i'm

habits of ination-habits con,

at the very time when most attention
should be given to the unframed ma

go-lucky way of living. so easy to jog
along unconcernedly, doing the things
which suit us best and perhaps which
count for the least and leaving undone
all the acts and unspoken all the words
and unexpressed all the thoughts and
unused all the advantages which are
really so essential to a better under
standing of ourselves and the wonder.

could only be made half as attractive
as some of the minor diversions which

could be made soft, the rocky roads
smooth and difficult undertakings easy,
there would be small need for putting
off from day to day the task of fulfill

the certainty that happiness unalloyed
is not within the grasp of man and
with the knowledge that sorrow and

The Best Ra,ions for Hoos.

Recent experiments at the Missouri
station prove that corn. good corn, is a
good feed for any animal. and that
there is no reason for Withholding II
from any animal needing food At the
same time, It Is shown that corn alone
Is not nearly SO good or so profitable
a feed as corn supplemented by some
proteid food. such as tankage, linseed
oil meal or soy beans
In hogs fed exclusively on corn the
animal becomes very fat and chubby,
and does not develop properly; the
bones are brittle and easily broken
Sixty-five hogs were used in this ex.
pertinent, and they were divided into
lots OF five each. Twelve different ra-
lions were used, with corn alone in
two of them. and corn supplemented
with some other feed in the others.
The hogs fed on corn and linseed oil
meal and those fed on corn and tank
age gained the most; those receiving
corn alone were most unsatisfactory.
