TELEGRAPH COMPANY
 TO EXTEND CONDUITS

Birmingham granted the permission sought by the Western Union Telegraph company to extend its underground con duits yesterday. The commission had previously reviewed the map of the com pany, outlining the scope of the exten- sion which went beyond the Weatherly viaduct on the west and Fourteenth street on the other extreme
 But before granting the request, Com missioner Barber asked that this perm1s- sion be given with the understanding that the company shall construct and reserve one conduit for the city, which shall serve the fire alarm and police call sys- tenn when the city installs one.
 The request of the American Cast Iron Pipe company for an extension of it's water main from Fifteenth to Sixteenth streets on Thirty-third avenue was re- ferred to Commissioner Weatherly with power to act.

Cows Must Stand Test

To further saeguard the public health, Commissioner Hornady asked that the city attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance which will prohibit the sale of cows in the city without having test for tuberculosis made.
 This is an extension of the health work among the dairy herds. At the present time the department is making tuber- culin tests throughout the city. The other day, p cows, in single herd, were condemned to be slaughtered, inasmuch as they failed to come up to the physi- clans tests. The work is expected to be completed before summer.

 WAGED AGAINST THE
 WEEV|L IN CALHOUN
Bankers Will Interest Farmers in Campaign to Instruct Them as to the
 Pest in Section

Anniston, January 30. - Especially
 James Keith, IT,, chairman of the az ricultural committee of the Alabama
 Bankers association, and L. G. Prem tice, county farm demonstration agent, are cooperating in a campaign which will be inaugurated in Calhoun county this week to interest the farmers in a plan to counteract the ravages of the
 boil weevil, which is certain to make its appearance in large numbers next
 summer The plan will be similar to that found efficacious in central and south Alabama and in other states
 where the boil weevil depredations cost the farmers hundreds of thou
 sands of dollars.
 The plan provides for planting cot ton with the rows wider apart than
 they have been heretofore. This will decrease the number of pounds of cot ton per acre a little, but by making the cotton rows six feet apart and planting row of Spanish peanuts be- tween each two rows of cotton, the loss on the cotton will be more than
 made up, besides preventing the boil WCONl1 II OHi SPI CduluS SO Idplulys similar arrangement is suggested to farmers in connection with their corn planting. Two hills of velvet
 beans should be planted about every | Is feet apart in the cotton rows. The velvet bean is a great runner and it
 has been found unprofitable to plant it any closer than 15 feet in corn for l tha reason that if nnay choke tha erroyU- | ing corn. Irish potatoes and soy beans can be used as good variants for pea nuts and velvet beans.
 l Heretofore farmers have rejected the l idea of plating large quantities of vel l vet beans and peanuts, because they claimed there was no market for them This objection will not hold good this year for the reason that a market has been arranged The Woodruff Feed pressing machinery at it's plant on West Fifteenth street and will take every pound of peanuts or velvet beans the farmers of Calhoun county may have to offer.
 The promoters of this plant feel that If the majority of farmers will adopt it, there need be little fear of the encroachments of the boil weevil in this county next summer, but on the contrary there will be corn, cotton, beans and peanuts at good prices with out any trouble Of course, it is pointed
 out, even with wide planting cotton, the boil weevil must be continued to be fought with all available weapons to insure minimum amount of damage from his visit.

A British Opinion of

school on the spot. 1t is excellent news
that the United States government will prob
IDLY send a regiment of marines with the
division of regulars. Ten thousand engineers
are also being recruited TO serve in France.
Add these to the division of regulars and
marines, and the numbers of the expedi-
tionary force will amount TO nearly $4,000
men.
The prospect Of this force arriving within
q short time after the declaration of war is a
magnificent demonstration of American ear

perate hope Of U-boat victory.
The appointment of General Pershing to
command the American expeditionary force

and trusted soldier . fine product
of one of the most professional armies in
the world.
This description of the American regular
army may surprise some of our readers, who
perhaps think that as the Americans have
never taken military affairs very seriously
their regular army can hardly be compared
favorably with the armies of more military
nations But the American regular army is
indeed a remarkable body. Although it has
seen little service on a grand scale, it has
been in another sense on continual active
service.
One might compare its activities with those

preston those cool and skiful officers and
men made upon him.
The officers were highly intelligent. and

suits Of their Indian experiences made a
