Bowie is expected to preside and the rules com mittee will be made up of. some of Alabama's most ia nous political leaders.
 And the women can vote!
 The only requisite is to write an advertisement and get it published in The Age Herald before December 23. The convention may vote yours the best. At any rate vour ad entities you to a vote in the convention.

STATE PAYS TUITION
Home Districts Formerly Paid for Non
Residents Taking Industrial
Training

Litchfeld Review: The 4ate legisla-
ture made number of changes in
school laws and one of them relates
particularly to the payment of tuition
on the part of nonresident pupils who
receive industrial training in a central
school, such as the Litchfeld high
school. By industrial work is meant
training in agriculture, manual train
ing and domestic science, either singly
Or in combination.
Heretofore the tuition of such nom
res,dent pupils was charged TO the pu-
pills home district which paid the bill.
Now the state "avs the tuition. The
effect Of. the change should be to en-
courage children from the rural dis
trlets to take industrial courses. I'm
der the law as it stood before the
change, rural school boards were -
cllned to request their children to re-
train from entering the industrial de-
Partments in order that the home dis
trlct might be saved from the bill of
tuition.

But Prairie Chickens Are Scarcer Than
Usual on Account of Wet Season

Reports as to the abundance of birds
awaiting the eye of fall hunters vary
greatly. Carlos Avery, game and fish
commissioner declares.
"Reports are general that young ma
tive ducks are plentiful in all parts
Of the state where ducks are accustom-
ed to nest,'' he said, "but ..4e wet
summer interfered seriously with the
Matching and rearing of the young
prairie chickens, especially in the Red
River valley where the many small
coveys indicate many youno birds have
died. Where the land is more rolling
conditions are much better. Quail are
abundant but rufaed grouse are re-
ported scarce.'
