No Home Guard" For
 Typographical Union
President Elliott Points Out the In- feasibility of Such an Or
 ganization

Expressing surprise that one of it's members should be the instigator of the movement for 'home guard" among organized labor in this district, President Elliott of the Typographical union had matter last night:
 "It is a well known fact that Bir- mngham Typographical union has in dorsed, on more than one occasion by resolution and otherwise, the every ac of the national administration in regard to the war with Germany and provisions for protection of the life and honor oi the country, but only as individuals can they enlist for active service.
 "'The laws of Alabama prohibit the or ,ganizaton of an armed force, other than the National Guard within it's borders although, by special enactment the Jef- ferson Rifle club is recognized by law so any home guard movement is purely visionary and would have no status un- der the law.
 Personally, I have full confidence ir the administrations plans of prepared ness to cope with any internal situation and as a matter of fact, it is my under standing that the war department looks with disfavor on any civil organization attempting to usurp military authority ir any community.
 "The patriotic sentiments behind such movement are unquestioned; but the usefulness of an untrained, probably unfit conglomerate mass of men, hastily got ten together, and unused to the hard ships of the ordinary soldiers life, is un- denia bly, negligible

MUSGROVE PLANS
 TOMAKE PUP|LS|N
 SCHOOLS PRODUCE
Walker County to Require Cultivation of Crops as Part of Requirement
 for Promotion

L. B. Musgrove of Jasper proposes to put stop to the threatener food short age so far as Walker county is con- cerned. And being a man of action as well as words he has already begun to put his plans into force.
 Steps have already been taken to make every child in the county attending school producer of food. Promotion and ad- vancement from grade to grade will de- pend upon the pupil showing net results and profitable cultivation of a plat of land. And being president of the Walker county board of education he was able to secure the necessary number of votes on his board to give him the authority.
 T am in favor of closing all schools in the rural sections and in the cities, too. for that matter, on March 20 each year until we get to the point where we are not only self sustaining, but produce a surplus of foodstuffs,'' said NIT. Mus grove. "A piece of ground should be provided for every child who has none. seed should be furnished if necessary and the proper financial assistance given to enable the students to make crop dur ing the late spring and summer
 Then when the fall term opens. a strict accounting should be had and if the stu- dent has produced the proper amount of foodstuffs and has made the profit which it is decided he should make by diligent and intelligent work he should be given credit in his school work and promoted to the next grade. If he has failed to do this, he should be treated as he would be if he had failed in mathematics and geography. Getting plenty of food is more important to the world now than anything else.
 'In Walker county we propose to put the above plan into effect. We are going to appropriate good many thousand dol lars of the county's money for this work and the results will repay us many times"

MRS. MATHIS WILL CONDUCT CAMPAIGN THROUGHOUT STATE
Food Preparedness Com mittee Employs Noted Woman to Take
 Charge

Mrs. G. H. Mathis has been employed by the executive committee of the food preparedness campaign, and is already at work on plans for the work which is to be conducted throughout the state Mrs. Mathis and Frank Willis Barnett associate editor of The Age-Herald, will speak at Lincoln tomorrow and will gc to Jasper Saturday, where a tremendous meeting of farmers and townspeople will be held. Mrs. Mathis has already ar- ranged for speaking engagements in four of the counties of north Alabama. Everything is in fine shape, and every organization in the city is in line, putting forth daily efforts to make the campaign one of the most far-reaching ever launched on any movement. The exi gencies of the occasion have brought forth the very best thought in the city and state and Alabama today as a man is falling to the work. The raising of the S10,000 necessary to handle the expense of the campaign is progressing satisfac- tory, and all indications point to the ulti. mate success of the finance committee under the leadership of Oscar Wells chairman.
 John H. Frye, chairman of the execu- tive committed, spent busy day yester- day addressing various bodies, engaging their further cooperation, and he feels that the splendid spirit shown by the clubs he visited is assurance or their untiring efforts to make the campaign most effective.
 The Community club, which through |; committee headed by P. M. Smith, is handling the publicity work for Jeffer- son county, is in receipt of some perti- nent suggestions from Mrs. Mathis in- cluding some valuable slogans which follows:
 "Alabama on the independent list in 1o17''
 Alabama must feed herself this year."
 Every farmer a soldier of the com. missionary
 We win the war with blow and gun
 ''The man behind the blow keeps the man behind the gum Eat less, waste less, produce more"
 No time more shrkers;
 A time for workers"
 Do your bit-dont sit and sit,
 Get there boys with Corn and Taters'
 Get there girls with Beans and Matters"
 Every little pig says: T grunt, grunt
 grunt, grunt,
 To help feed the army do a stunt

 Gov. Charles Henderson was the first speaker of the evening, and in a splendid manner did he do credit to the state of Alabama, his remarks being confined to "A1abama." He made clear the oppor tunities of this state, laid bare the facts as to how we fail to take advantage of them when they are so easily accessible and stated tbA every thing that we have was placed here eX- cept good roads-we had to make them, and we have worked for them as we never worked for anything before. In conclusion, Governor Henderson said: Tt makes no difference what we do, no mat ter what any mans task is, just so he does that task we'll
