committee of the Young Greeks Pro-
gressive society there was adopted the
following resolution about Professor Le-
katsa. which we beg The Age-H Herald
to publish:
The Young Greeks Progressive society
with great surprise saw the publication
and advertisement of Professor Lekatsa
the Greek tragedan. who will cat Thurs
day night at the jefferson theatre We
have no doubt of his ability as an ex-
celent tragedian but we wish to make
it known to the Birmingham public that
Professor Lekatsa has never been re-
quested by her majesty. the Queen of
Greece, to come to Birmingham and act
for the benefit of the orphans and widows
of the Balkan war On the contrary he
is unjustly advertising thus. as the money
goes for the benefit of his pocket.

TEACHERS URGED TO.
REMAIN IN ONE PLACE
Willingham Declares Nov
ing Vital Defect in States
Educational System

Montgomery May 7.-tSpecial.l- super
intendent of Education Henry j willing
ham today issued statement advising
the teachers of the state against con-
stantly changing from place to place in
the pursuit of their educational labors
According to Mr.. Willingham one of
the vital defects in the states education
al system is the wholesale changing of
teachers at the end of each year. He
declared that considerably more than one
half of the teachers of the state changed
their locations last year
Each one ought to try to promote him
self by making his work more effective
and enlarging his field of usefulness in
the same position instead of looking con-
stantly for something bigger and better
he declared.
There are just about as few ideal
teachers as there are ideal communities
he continues. "If teachers are faithful
and efficient and desire to strengthen their
professional records by remaining sew
eral years in one place, communities
would oftimes promote their own inter-
ests by granting to such teachers a due
recognition in the fixing of salaries

MADDOX BROS. GET WONDERFUL
YIELD ON GRASS RANGE
FARM,
GIVES 81 BUSHELS
On Their Entire Field Of a Hundred
and Five Acres the Average ls
Forty-nine Bushels to the Acre
Fergus Grain to Be Shown at the
Oklahoma Exposition.

The highest yield of winter wheat
reported anywhere in Fergus county
this season, and for that matter, the
highest known in the state, is credit
ed to Maddox Bros, who secured an
average of sixty-one bushels from q
tract of twenty-five acres. This par
ticular tract was sod land, broken in
May, 1912, and soWed to Turkey red
wheat between the first and fifteenth
of September. The soil was double
disced, double narrowed, double disced
again crosswise and then leveled with
a harrow. Thus the tract was virgin
soil worke down from the sod.
In addition to this field, Maddox
Bros. own a much larger field, MAX
ing total of 105 acres. The total
yield from the entire los acres was
5,l24 bushels, giving the very high
average of forty-nine bushels to the
acre.
The facts regarding this yield are
given in the Grass Range Review, Just
issued, and are certified to by G. A.
Maddox in an affidavit. To Mr.. Vroo-
man, the nestor of the newspaper fra.
ternity, Mr.. Maddox stated that the
wheat was very dry when threshed,
shelling considerably, and his esti-
mate is that at least a bushel to the
acre was lost in handling.
