Warren Welcomes the Teachers.

The people of Warren extend a
sincere and hearty welcome to the
teachers who have come here to
teach in the public schools. You
have come to our city from widely
scattered homes in this and other
states to make your home in our
city during the coming nine months,
at least, and we hope that you may
find your work congenial, and our
people kind and hospitable, so that
you may really feel Eat home"
among u.s. You have come here to
engage in very important work,
the training and instruction of our
young people. When we entrust to
your tutelage our children, we turn
over to you in the rough, perhaps
the most precious jewels in our
possession. We have full confidence
in your ability to properly care for
and train the young people commit
ted to your care. You will teach
them both by precept and by ex-
ample and, next to that of the
fathers and mother, will have a
tremendous influence over their
young lives. Let the parents of the
city cooperate with you to the
fullest extent and thus tighten the
burden of your work and also make
it more efficient. Let teachers,
pupils and parents enter upon this
new school year with a full appre-
citation of their respective duties
and possibilities and with firm
resolve to do their best, then the
school year now begun will be the
most successful in the history of
the Warren schools.

FALL SELECTION
OF POTATOES PAYS

It pays to select next years seed
potato tubers from the field at
digging time, better than to select
them from the bin next spring.
Here are reasons why seed selection
is more easily taken care of now
than when the potatoes are in the
bin:
At digging time enc can get a
good idea as to the type and uni
formity of tubers produced under in
dividual vines which can not be OBJ
tanned after the crop has been put
in storage. Seed should be selected
only from vines producing several
uniform, average-sized, true o-type
tubers. Such selection can not be
practiced when the seed is selected
out of the bin. -
Tubers affected with scab, russell
scab, late blight rot, black leg: rot
and brown ring discoloration due to
wilt should be- discarded. To avoid
the possibility of getting tubers in
fected with black leg rot or brown
ring discoloration, the field should be
thoroughly inspected before the
vines have dried up. Seed should
not be kept from infected plants, in
fact, wilted plants, together with
what tubers: may have heen formed
on them, ought to be destroyed.
Plants affected with leaf roll,
curly dwarf and; mosaic should be
destroyed and no tubers saved from
them. Although these diseases do
not cause any visible injury on the
! tubers, the use of infected seed will
reduce the yield and finally cause
the potatoes to run out" !

bed that elsewhere contains oil and
gas-is now 7,174 feet deep. Some
gas and oil were struck in the upper
part Of the well. Between the
depths of 6, 80 and 7,10O feet rocks
bearing rock salt and salt water
were encountered. These. are re.

FATHER AND SON MEET
AFTER Sc YEARS.

The following from Wichita
paper tells Of the meeting Of F:sM.
Sweigart of Cedar Spur, MINI. with
his son, after a lapse Of thirty-six
years. Mr.. Sweigart was attending
the G. A. r. reunion at Kansas City,
and the meeting between father and
son was arranged. The article fol-
lows:
For the first time that he could
remember, F. w. Sweigart, propri-
etor of the Forum Hotel saw his
father in Kansas City, on Sunday
morning. Thity-six years ago the
father, F. M. Sweigart, railroad
engineer, went away from the home
at Brookfeld, Mo. The son was one
year old at the time. - .
A fake telegram announcing the
fathers death sent the widow with
her baby to another city, and when
the father returned his family was
gone. By a coincidence two years
ago the father met the mother in
Pittsburg, Kan, but the son was
not at the reunion. Both mother
and father had remarked. The
mother died a year ago.
Last week Mr.. Sweigart heard his
father was going to attend the en-
campment of the G.. A. R., at
Kansas City. He left Wichita Sat-
urday night for that city. The

ROBSON SPEAKS TO
 CAPITAL AUDIENCE

Montgomery, March S.-(Special.)- )-Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, candidate for Con- gress from the Tenth district, spoke at the Grand theatre here tonight under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League of America on the subject of Destroying the Great Destroyer
 The captains speech in part, was non- political, but underlying his remarks was apparent the effort to solidify the pro- hibitionists of the state to support pro- hibition delegation to the St. Louis con- vention.
 Captain Hobson was preceded by Dr. l.. B. Stearnes, a nationwide prohibitionist. The two speakers were introduced by Dr. R. s. Hill. large number of promi- nent prohibitionists occupied seats on the stage. Among them Were Col. Horace Hood, editor of the Montgomery Journal, and candidate for delegate at large to the national convention, and Atticus Mullin, secretary of the Alabama public service commission.

The Young Mems Christian association minstrel entertainment, presented at the Majestic theatre last night, was one of the best amateur shows ever given in the city. A large and appreciative audi ence was in attendance and every num- Der presented was given a generous re. ception.
 The full pleasure of the performance was marred by the hoodlum tactics of a few boys whose behavior showed a lack of breeding and a total disregard of the feelings of others.

ATHLETIC CLUBS
 INITIAL FESTIVAL
 HELD LAST NIGHT

The Birmingham Athletic clubs first annual basketball festival was held last night, when two games between high schools were played followed by brief entertainment. The festival, although not as successful as possible, made the impression that it would hereafter be an annual affair in state athletics.
 The games were good on the whole, although the only visiting team, Sixth District Agricultural school, from Ham ilton, was completely outclassed. The Hamilton boys were swamped by the Central High school five by the score of 70 to 10, in a game that was much more closely contested than the score indicates. The second game was more exciting, and better in every respect for furnishing thrills, although both teams failed to show any team work, and of- fered a poor exhibition of basketball Ensley High school by remarkable spurt in the last half scored win over the Bessemer High school by the score of B to 24.
 Central played slightly below form, chiefly because of the weak opposi- ton offered. The Hamilton five fought continually, but being unaccustomed to the indoor court were practically at the mercy of the well trained Pritchard five, and the Central players toyed with their opponents Hamilton, however, deserves | SNNt~- state teams would take notice and fol- low in their footsteps, cleaner and bet ter athletics would be the result
 Hahn, the elongated center of Central, had a busy night, ringing II field goals from all corners of the floor The ''whistling' boy was right as shown by the score. Montgomery was off form, getting but six field goals. wh%e Captain Harrell was also slightly below par, registering only seven. Jones and Rob- erts played a good game at guard, while AntwiNs and Kelly, two subs" also played well. Kelley scored his first field goal of the season, and conse- quently established record. McMurray and Hovater were the best that Hanil- ton could offer, although the remainder of the team showed that they had promise of becoming future stars.
 The Ensley- -Bessemer fracas was the best of the two, but not in respect to skilled basketball. Bessemer held the lead at the end of the first half by a score of 15 to il, but a change in the Ensley lineup gave Propst, the giant center. an opportunity to get into action He rung up nine field goals which prac- tically won the game. Walker also aided to piling up the score with three
