TANGLEG GROW
ING OUT OF Der
NARD AFFAIR.

Baton Rouge, Nov. 9.-While
nothing concerning the matte
has been made public by any
individual concerned, it is I'M
derstood that the Executive De
partment and the Superintendent
of Education may come to slight
" strained terms over the after
math to the discovery that the
General Education Board viii
not pay the salary Of High School
Inspector Bernard, whom the
Louisiana State Board of Educa-
ton elected to succeed the ousted
Leo III. Favrot.
It is reported that Gov. Hall
intends to have Nh. Bernard
paid by the State of Louisiana.
despite the fact that he was APP
pointed by the State to do work
which serves little purpose UNI
less in harmony with the Cen
eral Education Board and its
Standardization service.
Superintendent Harris, who
protested against the dismissal
of MI. Favrot, is said to intend
to protest strongly against the
diverting Of any school funds
now in view for other purposes,
to pay the salary Of Mr.. Bernard
MAY TRY TO BORROW MONEY.
It is possible that Gov. Hall
will seek to have the State Board
of Liquidation borrow the money.
In this event, some Of the more
bitter opponents Of the drastic
changes of the school manage
ment sought to have been made
by the State Board, will enioin
the Board of Liquidation from
borrowing money for any unau-
thorized purpose.
It seems that the General Ed
ucation Board, which has been
paying the salary Of the high
school inspector in this State for
some years, has simply stricken
Louisiana from the list Of COM
~monwealths enjoying this aid,
and has given it to other States.
In other words, so far as the sal
ary-paying authority goes-Lou-
isiana has dropped from the list
of States working through the
medium Of the General Educa-
ton Board for uniform bettered
standards and bettered teaching
in their high schools.
Mr. Bernard, who has used up
three months of his time, and
moved to Baton Rouge, giving
up another position, is victim
now equally with Mr.. Favrot,
whose position was taken from
him.
Also Louisiana loses the sid
she formerly enjoyed.

net TON RATE Of sl.2O
ESTABLISHED FOR
PANAMA CANAL.

Washington, Nov. Is. -Presi-
dent Taft tonight issued a
PROCLAMATION fixing therates that
the foreign shipping Of the world
shall pay for passage through
the Panama Canal. The procIa-
nation, made under the author
.ity Of the canal act passed by
Congress in August, established
a merchant vessel rate of S1.20
per net ton of actual carrying
capacity, with a reduction of 40
per cent on ships in ballast.
The provisions of the proela-
nation are as follows:
@First-On merchant vessels
carrying passengers or cargo,
S1.20 per vessel ton-each LOO
cubic feet-of actual earning ca
pacity.
"Second-0n vessels in ballast
without passengers or cargo, DO
per cent less than the rate of
tolls for vessels with passengers
or cargo"
American naval vessels are ex-
empted. The rates named are
practically the same as will be
in force at the Suez Canal next
year.
According to Prot. Johnson's
report, which was also made
public last night, the Panama
Canal should be on a self-sus,
tanning basis in twenty years.
The tolls will place the Panams
Canal and it's rival. the Sue
Canal, upon an equal eompeti
tive footing.

Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore,
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man n confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they
NAV be many miles away, summering at some pleasant resort.
During his own vacation the businessman relies upon the tele,
phone. He is free from care, for he knows that he can be reached
at one by telephone should important matters require his attention.
AT the vacation home also, the telephone proves so convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup
plies from the distant markets.
All this is possible because Bell Telephone service IS universal

EXHIBIT SPACE
IS GOING Asst
Local Firms Urged to Secure
Space From State Fair
Association

That Birmingham should boost the Ala
bama State Fair and thus boost Birming-
ham Is not only the opinion of Presiden,
Ho.combe. Secretary Chaffee and Others
officers of the fair association, but il IS
the decided opinion of many public spir-
tied citizens of the Magic City.
Heretofore Birmingham exhibitors have
waited until the last few days before
opening of the fair to prepare their ex-
hihits and ask for space and in many
instances have had to be DISCONNECTED,
much to the regret of the management
The space, however large is always linz
tied and by the time that the fair is
ready TO open is always spoken for and
sold. =
TO purely local concerns space in The
fair grounds and buildings are sold at
| Just half price of what is charged out Of
town exhibitors. Concerns outside hav-
| ing agencies in the city are not consid-
cred in the half price class, Several local
firms have already bought space and have
begun work preparing their exhibits Sec
Eretary Chaffee is anxious, not only as
secretary of the fair association. but as a
] citizen of Birmingham to have Birming-
ham concerns secure space and boost the
| Magic City as she should be boosted.
The cost of securing space is too insig-
nifleant TO be calculated
Moore & Handley is one firm which has
realized the Importance of coming early
and preparing its exhibit and to tina
END have secured space with am 50 FOOT
front and l6 feet deep for its exhibit OF
working machinery.
Large corporations from as far norti
as Buffalo and Detroit have secured space
and are now at work on their exhibits
The space is going faster than had been
anticipated and the management is urg-
ing that every prospective exhibitor re
serve his space at once.

which he refers to the meeting presided
