A Prayer For Our Soldier Boys
SARAH Il. MILTON

Here's a prayer for the boys in the trenches
A prayer for the boys in the air:
prayer for all on the fighting trail,
Who live bat to do and dare;
God bless them all this silent night,
whate'er fate might decree,
II stand they by the silent dead,
Or sleep on the billowy sea.
Yea, bless them all and hail the day,
When war and crime shall cease.
Put strength into the hand that holds,
The sword which points to peace.

Only One New Official
 Received at Capital

Montgomery. January 15.-(Speciall Eight new terms of office were begun at the state capitol Monday about noon, but only one new official was received, he being Charles R. Bricken of Luverne, who succeeded Judge Richard V. Evans of Birmingham as a member of the court of appeals. Judge BricSen was named in the May primary in a free-for-all con test. Judge Bricken's associates on the court of appeals are Judge John Pelham of Anniston and Judge J. B. Brown of CuKman, who were named for second terms. Judge Pelham, being the oldest judge will continue as presiding officer.
 John c. Anderson of Demopolis took the oath of office as chief justice of the supreme court for another term of six years. Likewise did Lucien D. Gard ner of Troy and Ormond Somerville of Tusca' oosa take up the duties for an- othfr six year term as associate jus tices.
 It is believed the new courts will con- tinue in office their old employees, Gen. Robert F'. Ligon continuing as clerk of the supreme court and Col. Alexander Troy as clerk of the court of appeals.
 Samuel F., Kennedy of Anniston took the oath of office for another four-year term as president of the Alabama pub lie service commission, while John H.

COMMEND BOARD
 FOR REFUSING ID PUT IN FOX PLAN
Circular Letters, Signed In- dividually, Being Received.
 Take Rap at So-calIed Medical Hierarchy"

Hundreds of letters from voters and taxpayers of Jefferson county have been received by the members of the board of revenue commenting them for their stand in the matter of the proposed ap- propriation for inaugurating the health { system for Jefferson county. The let ters, which are in circular form, and are signed individually, are as follows:
 To the Board of Revenue of Jefferson
 County.
 Gentlemen: As a taxpayer and voter of this county I desire most heartily to in- dorse the action of the new board since assuming office. The fixed purpose to economically administer the county s funds is so evident, and the spirit of cooperation so credtable that feel with thousands of other citizens that we have the right men in the right place at the right time.
 I most emphatically indorse your re- fusal to tax the people with the $75,- GO experiment called the Fox plan. We want to advance, but only as we can afford 1t. The city and the county both understand and have the health situa- tion well in hand. Time and money will eliminate any evil that may exist.
 If the medical heiarchy of Jefferson county has no one competent to handle the situation. let them go into bank ruptcy. A majority of the county phy- sicians and the people in general resent the charge, and will oppose the importa- ton of man. First wipe out the $500, 000 deficit, then give us better health If we can find somewhere to put it. Yours in the best of health.

Penny's Worth of Electricity

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 With the cost of living skyrocketing it IS comforting to reflect upon the great purchasing power of just .ene cent in electricity.
 On the basis of eight cents per kilo- Watt-hour one cent will buy electric serv- ice to light 25-watt lamp for five hours to make 10 cups of coffee in an electric coffee pot; to heat milk in a nursery milk-warmer three times. to sew soO.Ooo stitches on motor-driven sewing ma chine and to boil F eggs in an electric hot water cup.
 Electricity is now regarded as the cheapest heating, lighting and cooking means on the market the cost of in stallation being the chief expense.

 Immediately after leaving Chair man Henry I went to New York and laid all the information l had before John O'Hara Cosgrave, Sunday editor of the New York World I also sum moned Erman J.

WHAT HE TOLD LAWSON

T told MT Lawson,' Henry said, that this was very important and serious matter and that in so far as I was per sonally concerned I would impose no re- striction of confidence, but that if lie had any facts that he thought he should give in confidence, I would respect his confidence. I asked him over and over again to name any man who might have knowledge of the subject He did not name a single person, and did not name one.
 Here today, I declare that during our three hours conversation I did not men ton then name of any cabinet officer he has mentioned here today'
 Later Henry made his statement even broader, declaring he did not mention the name of any of the persons Lawson had declared he named.
 T say to you now" he declared with great emphasis leaning over toward the committee, that never mentioned the name of a banker, senator nor "a great official to him. I have no fear of my reputation in the House or in the coun- try, and what this gentleman says here today doesn't even disturb me-"
 Henry then referred to communication Lawson had sent him early in January asking that an inquiry into the stock ex- change be inaugurated and that he be put in charge of it. Lawson said in the letter that he would like to have charge like Sam Untermyer did in the Pujo investigation" If he could not produce tinued, he would be willing to be 'signo- mniously fired.
 'After that" Henry exclaimed dramat- icaily, he comes and tells this House and the country that he goc his informa- tion from me-.
