 T believe that as soon as the bad weather lets up our office will be flood ed with applicants for building permits Quite number of people have been in to see me in regard to erecting buildings and they all say that they will build in month or two.

TO REDUCE TAX ON
 OLEOMARGARINE

Washington. January 22.-An oleo- margarine bill which would rename all butter substitutes as margarine" would reduce the tax to l cent per pound and probably lower the price of butter substitutes, was introduced by Representative Lever of South Carolina, chairman of the House subcommittee tigating the subject.
 The measure embodies the sub-com mttee's views, based on its inquiry, and on advice from the internal rev enue bureau. The revenue under the present law approXimates $550,000 and treasury officials estimate that at the uniform rate of 1 cent a pound more than a million dollars In revenue would be raised.
 Though it's Fundamental purpose was not to reduce the cost of living, but to prevent the sale of "moonshine oleo- margarine" it is pointed out that the 10 cents pound tax has been a pre- text for a higher price of foodstuffs, and with prices soaring in the markets everywhere the measure would benefit the immense number of people who Knowingly use the substitute.
 It would require the margarine to be put only in original packages of one-half and one pound, to be con spiciously marked margarine" with heavy penalties for renewing the rev enue stamp. The one cent tax would be against the present 10 cents a pound for colored and a quarter of a cent per pound for uncolored mar garine.

FARMERS ID MEET
 IN MISSISSIPPI

Jackson, Miss, January 22.-(Speclah)- The significance and importance of the general mass meetings to be held at every schoolhousc in the state of Mississippi on Thursday, January 25, should not be un- derestimated. These meetings are re- ouested by President Carter of the Farm CTS union, but the invitation is extended to all persons, whether members of the union or not, who arc interested in the reduction of cotton acreage and the con sequeIir increase n acreage to corn, po- tatoes and other feed stuffs for man and beast.
 These mass meetings should be attended, acreage determined on by each individ- ual farmer, and reports forwarded to the headquarters of the Farmers union in Jackson for compilation. The idea is not so much to increase the acreage to corn, potatoes, hay, cane. rice and other food crops as it is to make each acre planted do it's best under scientific management and cultivation-thus each farmer being able to devote more land to pasturage and live stock.

S6O61 RA|SEDFOR
 DISTRICT SCHOOL Enthusiastic Meeting Held at Albertville Yesterday INSURANCE ADJUSTED Feagin, Secretary of State Depart ment of Education, Present and
 Made Interesting Address,
 Congratulating Citizens
INSURANCE ADJUSTED

Albertville, January 22.-(Special)-At the court house this afternoon one of the most patriotic and enthusiastic meetings that has ever been witnessed in Alpere- vile took place and the sum of S6Ool was raised to SC toward the erection or the new building of the Seventh District Asrl- cultural school. Few such gatherings have seldom taken place In this section of the state and at least a s35,00o structure is in sight for Albertville.
 The meeting was called to order by president F. A. Miller, and J. M. Kyser was chosen chairman and L. E. Cheei secretary. President Miller stated the object of the meeting, outlining the differ ent methods of raising the funds. MT. Kyser then presented William F. Feagin. Secretary of the State Department Of Education, and former president Of the school, and he complimented the citizens for turning out in such vast numbers, pointing out how Albertvile had always risen to the occasion. rebuilding the town after having twice been destroyed by fire and by the cyclone in 1908 and always do- hating when the occasion presented itself. This. he said, was attracting the com mendation of the entire state, and he felt sure they would rally to this cause and replace a structure that would be in keeping with the rapid strides of the state.
 MT. Feagin also told of the great work the school had done, and how that 1t was ranked as the leading one of the agricul- tural schools of the state. MT. Feag- in was luodly applauded. Other rousing talks were made by B. B. Glasgow, R. Lee Barnes, Judge J. H. carter or Gun tersville and others.
 Chairman Kyser then called for sub- scriptions and A. B. Hooper, cashier for J. F. Hooper, banker, headed the list with s310, J. M. Kyser, $200 and among the other liberal contributors were Judge Carter, J. w. Walker, William Feagins w. W. Ross, J. w. Baker and nearly everybody present gave something to the cause, thus the amount named, $6o61, was raised
 Telegrams were received and read from prominent people throughout the state, each making a handsome donation for the cause.
 Business matters prevented several influential merchants and professional men from attending and a number of subscriptions were handed in after the meeting had adjourned and conserva- tive estimate is that between elght ana ten thousand dollars will be raised right in Albertville and adjacent com munty and the entire district will be canvassed, thus insuring Albertville Marshall county and the Seventh dis trict one of the handsomest school buildings In the state.
 MT Miller stated at the meeting that tha insurance of the old building had been adjusted and draft would be far a xQOun and tho construction of the new building would start as soon plans and specifications could be drawn up and accepted. In the total amount raised this afternoon s750 pledged by the local alumni is included. cluded.
