C0ngressman Would Suend
 Half Million to Stop Pink Boil Worm From Mexico

Washington, July 1s-A plea for $500, GOO to guard against the threatened ravages of the Mexican pink boil worm on the Texas border and in the south was made before the House appropriations commit tee today by committee of southern representatives headed by Representative Wingo of Arkansas. They pointed out that the worm had worked devastation in a limited area of Mexico during the few years since its introduction into that country, that seed from that infected area had been planted on the United States side of the border and that if the worm succeeded in mating any headway f in this country 1t was liable to work millions of dollars of damage to the cot ton crop.
 The plan is to obtain the ico-operation of the Texas authorities and to look after not only the cultivated cotton fields. but to clean out the so-called vol-
 unteer cotton that grows up indiscrim-
 inatsly.

 ducted to get citizens of neighboring

 farmers and merchants alike, and follows
 In full:
 'The food preparedness committee of Birmingham desires to assist the farmers of Alabama to find markets for the in- creased crops that are being grown this year. We do not undertake to quote prices or guarantee the reliability of either buyers sells, but seek to assist in the following manner:

Tn making the list the producer should state in what con dition items will be put up. The data will be printed in bulletin form and dis tributed by mail and otherwise. The bull letins will carry list vI names of prob able buyers at Birmingham and at other distrib uting centers The object of this service is to inform farmers regarding markets and to give information to buy CTS as to where, and at what time, Va r!ous products will be ready for the market

 The yield from gardens is also reportel to be one of the largest in the his torv of Alabama and we hope the work done at Birmingham has contributed to these results.

its rooms at the Y. w. C. A. yesterday
afternoop, with fifty members present.
The cold weather had no depressing ef-
feet, and every member was fairly
bristling with sunshine.
A pretty thought was brought out in
connection with the principle for which
the society stands: That of Pass 1t
On" a kindly word or smile or deed
will be all the more appreciated If it Is
given and passed on, rather than
thought and forgotten.
Each member present promised to
take personal supervision of one Grip
pied child, to ascertain his needs, his
condition and how the Sunshine So
ciety can be of real benefit to him. The
members were also asked by Miss Ma
ti1da Hester. chairman of the visiting
committee, to take the names of the
"Shut-ins" that they may visit them
from time to time and throw a ray of
hope and happiness into their unfortu-
nate lives. This plea from Miss Heis-
ter is especially an appeal to the many
new members who have Joined the So
ciety within the past few months as the.
old members are all active and doing
their part.
The Sunshine Society also goes on
record as supporters of preparedness.
and wishes to extend help to the Red
