In addition to the regular games

picked five from the teams in the
dependents a good lacing last Thursday
night. The score was Sc to %. All
five local men played fast game with
A. Goyet leading in the shooting. He
had Ii baskets to his credit when the
final whistle blew. For the visitors
Pierce and Phillips were easily the
star performers. They put up a good
passing game but fell down on the
opportunities for baskets. 1t is ex-
pected that the f. G. A. team will ar
range more games with outsiders and
if they do, these affairs should prove
good drawing cards.
The games in the league resulted

way to tte garbage scow is what breaks some families.
 A certain school teacher has the right idea. Every spring she asks the children to bring to the school the worn-out rub bers of the winter, and from the pro- ceeds she buys pictures for the walls and phonograph records for the dances. At times these contributions amount to over half ton. Waste becomes profitable as you get it together. And when so gath cred it should be used for a good pur- pose as a standing object lesson that waste conserved is profit earned"
 Here is junk story from the far east: A Japanese rag man of excellent speech offering to buy all the old junk offered. Instead of paying cash he gives a coupon good at a certain bank, where it must be left untouched for a certain number of years
 Upon investigation the ragman turned out to be former superintendent of To- kohama police and manager of a large dock corporation, interested in teaching his people the proper use of junk.
 Junk money is apt to be regarded as
 easy money" and spent foolishly. While it is easy money, it should be conserved to usefulness and not wasted. The school teacher uses one method, the Japanese junk man another. but both tending in the right direction. We can teach our children no better lesson than to avoid waste, but avoiding all possible waste to so use the junk that it will prove last ing benefit. Save your junk and save the money your junk turns in.

COLLEGE FUND WELL 2
 OVER $40,0OO MARK

Athens, May 2.-(Special) )-After only Il days of actual solicitation, the Athens college endowment campaign fund is now considerably above $4o.000 The only points visited for solicitation so far have been the Decaturs, Hartselle, Cullman, Birmingham, Huntsville, Florence and a few towns in the Florence district. The solicitation in the Decaturs and Hunts vile has not been completed, and the work in the Birmingham district has covered less than half of the names cat alogued for solicitation.
 By action of the board of education the college will be allowed ample time to reach every part of the conference in order that the grade of the institution may remain unchanged. The full endow- ment must be raised if the classification is to be permanent. The large amount already secured from the limited section of the conference visited leads those in charge of the work to believe that the additional amount desired will be readily secured from the districts not yet visited. The returns from the Florence district indicate that that district will yield be- tween $500O and $6000 to the fund.

Pass That Was Honored

From CdSS ana comment.
 I was practicing law in Nevada, writes Thomas Fitch, and had successfully de- tended some men who were accused of stage robbery. A week afterward with some companions I was seeing off 8 London mining expert who was about to depart on the stage coach. After a round of drinks he said to me, jocularly. 1T may meet some of your clients on the road, wish you would give me a pass" Certainly" I replied. stepped to the hotel desk. and on a sheet of my office paper which happened to have in my pocket, wrote: 'To all road agents: Please pass the bearer and oblige mel signing my name thereto. With laugh fe pocketed the note, and we bade each other good-by.
 That night, sure enough, the stage was stopped, and the passengers lined up and relieved of their money and valuables by masked highwaymen. When my friend was reached he handed my note to the robber, exclaiming, Here. my man, is a note for you" The robber carried 1t to the stage coach lamp, read it and handed it, and with grin that could be seen below his mask. exclaimed, That's good!" and passed the bearer of the note without robbing him.
 Months afterward I received from the county Jail message from man who was accused of being participant in shooting scrape, that he desired to see me. I went there. He said that he desired to employ me to defend him. IT have no cash to pay fee" said he. but maybe this will serve for one. He handed me the pass I had issued "Its good" said l. Could have said less7

MUNT|ON WORKERS. MAKING TOLUOL ARE. IN POOR CONDITION
High Explosive Makes Them Drowsy, Causes Frontal Headache, Eczema and
 Sometimes Jaundice

London April 1S.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-The manufacture of the high explosive known as tri-nitro- toluol is seriously affecting the health of thousands of munitlon workers. It causes unusual drowsiness, frontal headac che, eczema and loss of appetite and some times jaundice according to a committee which has been devoting much study to the health of the munition workers
 In few cases even death had resulted. The committee also found that tetra- chlor- -ethane, a noninflamable liquid, which forms an ingredient of the varnish applied to aeroplanes, is also having a. dangerous effect on the workers. It smells in vapor like chloroform and is a powerful anaesthetic, leading to death. In searching for a substitute the commit tee learned that the heads of the muni- tons department have found an effective poisonous chemical, but that the supply of it's ingredients is at present insuffi- cient to meet the demands.
 The committee found overwork source of waste and says that it is to be hoped that the study of industrial fatigue and the science of management based upon it. may leave lasting results to benefit the industries of the country during the succeeding years of peace.
 Our national experience in modern industry the committee reported, lis longer than that of any other people, It has shown clearly enough that false ideas of economic gain, blind to physio- logical law, must lead, as they led through the nineteenth century, to vast national loss and suffering.
 "It is certain that unless our indus trial life is to be guided in the future by the application of physiological science to the details of it's management it can- not hope to maintain it's position here after among some of it's foreign rivals, who already in that respect have gained a present advantage"
 Proper attention earlier in the war to the need for weekly rest would, it stated have prevented a large part of the di- unfinished capacity that has appeared, and would have averted much costly and wasteful expenditure upon mperfecr work.
 In very many cases, perhaps in almost all, in which staleness is well marked or has even advanced to definite sick ness, the committee found that a single day off, given occasionally at the right

THE WHEAT STATES

Although Kansas may retain her rre- eminence as a wheat producer she is likely to be pressed closely by North Dakota. In fact, the two Dakotas pro- duced in 1915 about 30OO0,0O0 bushels in excess of the Kansas harvest in 1914 The northwest including the two Dakotas, Minnesota and Nebraska, produced in 1915 S50,000,000 bushels of wheat or sub- stantially one-third of the total product.
 And yet the two Dakotas, with respect to wheat cultivation, are of very recent development. If it should happen thai there is a falling off in the winter wheat harvests, it is probable that this will be to some extent made good by phenom- enal harvests in the northwest. John H. Rich, federal reserve agent at Minne- apolis sees no reason why the splendid wheat harvests of the northwest includ- ing that of Montana, should not be found in 1916 to be represented by as many bushels as was the case in 1915.

TALKS ON THRIFT
JUNK


 The waste in every household IS consid- erable Part is unavoidable waste and part is necessary waste. Altogether too much good goes into the garbage can Clothes are not taken care of, are not pressed or mended, or hung up when not in use and so become shabby long before their usefulness is ended. Shoes that with a little mending would go many a mile are thrown out, and throughout the house there is waste. The attic bears testimony to this fact
 Waste that is waste should not be boarded, but turned into profit. Old rub- bers, rags, iron. can be turned into many an honest penny, and clothing that has served it's day may be sold to second- hand dealers glad to get such articles.
 The conservation of household waste affords a living for thousands of people. The junk man is usually leading citi- zen, well housed and well fixed. The privilege of trimming the scows that take the waste of New York to sea is worth millions annually. It makes mill lionaires. And the waste that finds it's

Food for Thought


 Things are really bad in our line,,' said the young doctor pessimistically. Unless you are prepared to work night and day. it Is almost impossible to make even a living
 His listeners at the club agreed sym pathetically; they all thought the same whatever their line of business-all ex- cept one bluff old medical man.
 Poohi' he said, with a friendly sheer. That's all rubbish, my young friend There's as much money to be made now as ever there was. Look at me- for in- stance. I'm making plenty of money; but do I look overworked? Do I ever seem pressed for time? Have I not al ways plenty of leisure?"
 You certainly seem to take life easily replied the younger doctor smoothly.
 And the listeners smiled-all except the older doctor. He seemed to be thinking deeply.

GREATEST WHEAT PRODUCER

In three respects, or with respect to three great industries of the United States, the country has within the past 25 years gained -eminence among the nations of the world. Charles M.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-03

These figures are proof of the rank which the country has taken in this industry.
 W. B. Thompson, who is one of the great authorities upon the copper indus try; D. c. Jackling and John w. Ryan, whose achievements in developing the copper industry are chief among the greas exploits of American industrial leaders, are convinced that the United States will produce and market in 1916 1000 ,000 pounds of copper There is no country that can show figures of this magnitude The United States in 1915 harvested lit tie over ,0o0 bushels of wheat. This was abodt 2O0,O0o,oOO more than Cam ada harvested and very much more than Argentine did. Canadas wonderful ad- vance as wheat producer is made man. fest by the figures which show that the dominion harvested almost as much wheat as India and stands fourth in the list of wheat producing nations.
