The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-14

Tomorrow is great day in the history of Birmingham and the country within a radius of 100 miles, for the great aviation meet-automobile show and races under the auspices of the Business Mems league and the direction of the Berger Aviation company opens at the Alabama State Fair grounds under augures most favor able, according to even the forecasts of the pessimist.
 Big Crowd Expected Here
 From all of the surrounding country there has come evidence of interest that is wrought up to q high pitch. The coun- try towns are expected to turn out big, for the countryside has been most thor oughly advertised and numerous letters coming into the offices of the Business Mems league prove the widespread in- terest in the spring celebration of the business men
 From cities to the north there are coming special committees of representa- tive business men, who are coming here to witness the show and endeavor if pos- sible to secure similar attraction for their respective cities. These cities are Nashville Louisville, Lexington and Pitts burg.
 It is estimated by conservative members ofathe league that there will at least he 1oa,ooo people here from out of town.
 Aviators Here; Hangars Up
 Out at the fair grounds everything is practically in readiness for the meet The aviators are here, stopping at the hotels of the city, with the exception of Louis Mitchell. who travels in two railway coaches of his own, and these are switched into the grounds on a sidetraclS. The mechanical birds are here ant in the hangars. The bird men are ready for q strenuous week, from Monday to Saturday inclusive and there seems no doubt that spectators at the celebration will witness the greatest aviation events in America today. There are no meets anywhere in the United States where there will be the number of aviators competing and the novelty of events such will be intro duced. Expert writers from Birmingham newspapers will make flights and write their impressions, and arrangements nave been made which will insure the wide dis tribution of photographs of the week $ events
 The hangars are facing the grandstand in commanding position and the visitors any trouble whatsoever. To secure a good view of the gateways and landings and 10 examine the mechanical bidls it will be necessary to enter the infeld where .he hangars are located.

CORN GROWING
CONTEST this YEAR
Supt. Leach Lending Assistance
Towards Boys En-.
terprise.

Last year, II will be remembered. a
Boys Corn Growing Contest was held
in Ohio county. as was held in nearly
every county In Kentucky. For several
reason the enterprise was not as great
success in this county as might have
been. the seed not being as good as. 1t
should have been.
This year supt. Leach. is again work
ing hard on the corn growing contest
and 1t promises to be not only instruc-
tive from every standpoint. but profit
able for the boys that enter. From
time to time the progress Of the contest
will be announced In these columns.
The following is a copy of a letter
that Mr.. Leach is mailing to quite a
number. and 1t is to be hoped that
everyone will lend their aid in this
work.
To the Farmers Of Ohio County:
Because of poor seed corn and bad
conditions last year. the Boys Corn
Growing Club was almost failure.
Many reported early in the spring of
last year that 1t was Impossible to Sc
cure stand from jhe corn furnished
the boys. So have decided to appeal
to the boys and to the farmers again
to try to make 1t a success this year.
This year l shall ask the farmers TO
directly aid me in securing the names
Of boys who will enter this contest. We
can get seed. corn this year that Is
guaranteed to be first class and plenty
Of 1t to plant an acre of ground. We
started In last spring too late to work
up the proper amount of interest in
the contest but this spring through the
aid OF all persons who are Interested
In corn growing and better farming. We
can make 1t a success that the whole
county will be benefited and still not
cost the county anything.
All boys under Is and over 10 years Of
age will be allowed to enter. Each boy
will be furnished enough corn to plant
one acre and viii be given instructions
as to khat Is expwected OF him.
l want the name. address age and
school district of all the boys who
enter this contest.
Attractive prizes will be offered and
ever encouragement viii be given.
win you join me In making this a
success?

women APPEAR AS
PROHIBITION foes
Protest Of $50 Is Filed Against
Proposed Legis.
Aav
lation.

Washington, February 1S-More than
$50 women appeared as anxious wives
and mothers" before a subcommittee OF
the Senate Judiciary Committee today
and entered vigorous protest against the
prohibition principle in general and in
particular proposed legislation to pre-
vent the shipment of liquor into dry
states. With them appeared John Horn,
who came all the way from Astoria, Ore,
to voice his objections.
There are plenty of women in Turkey
but nothing to drink; so who wants to be
a Turk?" demanded Horn, after telling
the committee that Turkey was the on
ly civilized country that prohibited the
sale Of liquors.
The hearing was arranged primarily TO
give the "antis'' an opportunity to an
swer. the arguments recently presented
to the committee by the prohibition"
force. E. c. Dinwiddle, counsel for the
temperance advocates. and Mrs. L. NJ.
Stevens of Mains. national president OF
the w. c. T. u. attended and inter-
rupted some of those who appeared in
behalf Of the "antis."
Women predominated at the hearing
but majority of them came in opposi-
ton to the proposed legislation. They
were led by Mrs. E. J. Dornhoefer of
New York. chairman Of the ladies auxil-
iaries Of the National German-American
Alliance. Representative Richard Bar
tholdt Of st. Louis also appeared in op-
position.
Representative Bartholdt told the COM
mittee that the temperance advocates
had violated sacred agreement in con
tinuing the agitation of temperance leg
islation before Congress. He said that
two years ago In the House 1t was agreed
by the temperance advocates that IL
the personal liberty leaders would not
oppose the new code which contained
provisions In reference to C. o. d. ship
ments of liquor and the branding OF
packages containing liquor, they in
turn would not press further temper
ance legislation pending a fair trail Of
these provisions.
Senator Nelson demanded Of Mr.. Bar
tholt what constitutional right was con-
ferred on the citizens of ''wet" state
to in dry state what the citizens
Of the dry state can not do them
selves. 1t is believed the subcommittee
will report the bill favorably.
