 WILL BE 'MAJOR'
 |NNAT|ONAL WORK

Montgomery November 3o-(special) Brig. Gen. Graph J. Hubbard, adjutant general of Alabama, has been recom- mended for appointment as major and as signed the duty of supervising the op- erations of the se1ective service law in this state, it became known Friday. Un der the new regula tions the war depart ment will name a man in every state in the union who will have the rank Of major and will assist the state military department in handling the selective ser vice law.
 Governor Henderson, believing that General Hubbard's long service with the state and his close study of the war acts make him the best man, urged the war department to name him and to per init the appointment of an acting adju- tant general to serve during the time General Hubbard is in the federal service It is known that the governor already has worked out plan whereby General Hubbard's duties will be placed in the hands of competent man and when General Hubbard's work for the govern ment ceases he may return to his state position.
 The governors of several other states
 have recommended their adjutant gen erals because of their qualifications for the new work. The executive depart ment does not desire any applications for either position as the plan has already been made, subject to the approval of the war department.

DiscoUers Process to
 Make Flour From Corn
E. A. Turner Jr Cac Is Turning Out Fine Product and His Hand Made Mill Is Now Working Every Day

 1 Tn appearance this flour closely re- sembles wheat flour; it is more rich ana oily to the feel, and in cooking takes but
 half the shortening that wheat flour re- auires. Tn texture, the finished dainties are the least bit coarser than those made the old way. But in taste, there is no difference in lightness or flavor; II any thing, it favors the new process My son is now grinding all his hand made mill can produce-about 7e to So

 on this new process mill, and his reward I believe, will be great. Already millers from different sections are visiting the
 mill and some of them are ready to buy the right to manufacture in different
 sections. But we want the O. K. of the government and Hoover before we go any further. We are satisfied and want everybody else to be the same. The gov- ernment has already put ban on flour made from straight flour corn, a

Another nail in the Kaiser's coffin!

Another nail in the Kaisers coffin!
 And via the food route at that!
 A new process for extracting the flour from Indian corn has been discovered by an Alabamian. This man is E. A. Turner, Jr., of Calcis. about 37 miles dis tant from Birmingham.
 The father of this young man was in town Tuesday and called at The Age Herald office with liberal amount of the new process flour. together with all kinds of pastry, such as doughnuts, frit- ters, layer cake and some exceptionally fine biscuits. In trying out the various samples, had The Age-Herald force been blindfolded, not one fn the crowd could have told the delicacies were made from flour extracted from Indian corn.
 Mir. Turner put emphasis the fact that this product must not be confused with flour made from flour corn,' grain that has been put on the black list by the department of agriculture at Washington. The mill was built by MT. Turner himself and fre now has applica- tions pending to cover his process by law. When this is completed, he intends to throw it open to the world and help win the war by allowing wheat to be sent abroad, while this country can cut out flour to some extent and use the by product of good old Indian corn.
 Turner is now in touch with Food Ad- ministrator Hoover at Washington, and great things are promised
 The mill has been operating about three weeks, and is running to full capacity. Farmers are flocking to Calcis from as far as 30 miles around. all eager to get their grain turned into something more refined. In bushel of corn there are 56 pounds. After toll is taken out at the, mill the producer gets from 46 to 47 pounds for his share. The following in

 I suggest that orders be Immediately given that in the purchase of supplies and equipment of every kind and charac- ter no requisition be recognized by the purchasing agent unless signed and ap- proved by the department head for whose department it. is required; and that, when the necessity arises for the purchase of goods and stores usually carried in the city's warehouse, that the warehouseman alone have the power and authority to issue a requisition for it's purchase. And in this connection would recommend that the warehouseman be placed in entire charge of both the city stables and warehouse, and that the position of superintendent of stables be vacated.
 shall, at a little later date, suggest to you gentlemen the practcability of constructing municipal garage for the storage of the citys automobiles. The operation of the citys motor driven ap- paratus has reached an enormous figure, and some means should be immediately taken to reduce this expense to the mini mum.
 There are other suggestions and rec concentrations which I shall take the lib- erty of making to you gentlemen short ly l have not yet had the time to fully digest the financial report submitted by the auditors a day or so ago, but r have in mind certain elifninations and consultations which may mean consider able saving to the city and at the same time increases the efficiency of the ser- vice.
