they were deeply impressed with these conditions they did not hesitate to state and they let it be known that housing conditions would carry no small weight in the location of the plant. The trip marked the closing chapter in the brief made in behalf of Birmingham and for the members of the borad it was far more pleasant than the hearing of the array of facts and figures submitted by the local committee.
 The private car used by the board left about o'clock this morning on the sec ond section of the Alabma Great South ern train No. for Tuscaloosa, where a hearing will be held today. The mem- bers of the board will be welcomed by the Tuscaloosa committee at their car this morning at s:30 o'clock.

|5TH COMMANDMENT SUBJECT 0F SERMON Dr. EdmOnds Urges That Fathers and Mothers Be
 Honored by Children

Honor thy father and thy mother" The fifth commandment was the
 subject of the sermon delivered at the service of the Independent Presbyte- rian church by the pastor, Dr. H. M.
 Edmonds. This was the fifth of the
 series of Sunday evening addresses
 made by Dr. Edmonds on the com mandments.
 'The law of obedience is written in the very constitution of nature, in the fibre of life," said the speaker. Obedience is not an arbitrary law: 1t is a fundamental, absolute necessity. "The civil law cannot be broken without penalty, neither can the moral law and 1t is the business of parents to teach their children obedience to themselves that they may come natur- ally to obey all laws. The command must be sane and reasonable and then 1t behooves the parent to see that it s obeyed. The parent to receive honor at the hands of the child must honor himself and be worthy of honor. "The business of rearing children IS serious one. an arduous task. The making of men and women for good citizenship is not tho task of an hour or a day. It is ceaseless toll and con stant striving to inculcate obedience | that luo CAtliu may AiOhoi iAiS AotAOi and mother
 "Other means than physical force might be used to maintain respect and l obedience. a little tact, little in- genuity in dealing with the child 1 brings vastly better and much moro lasting results than constant bodily chastisement. although there are times when no argument or persuasion has l the beneficent effect of judiciously applied switch as all those who have 1 been boys or who deal with boys will l agree"
 l In closing his address Dr. Edmonds made a plea for the aged mothers and | fathers whose days of activity are over and who live only in the life and l achievements of their children, whose l joys and sorrows they share. He urged | his audience to write and visit those lonely men and women. to honor them who are largely responsible for what l their children are today.
 How they hoped for you and prayed for you and dreamed for you!" he I said. Now cheer. those lonely loving hearts by writing frequent. loving let ters. Honor thy father and thy mother"
 Dr. Edmonds spoke on "The Trans 1 formed Life" at the morning service at the Temple Emanu-El.

Birningham's case is in the hands of the jury.
 With the departure of the members of the government armor plant board for Tuscaloosa at an early hour this morn ing, the fate of this citys claims for the location of the industry passed out of the hands of the local committee. Nothing they can do in the future will influence the decision. Birmingham did her best and the angels could do no more.
 It's up to the jury now.
 When Admiral F. F. Fletcher, Com mander F. H. Clark and Civil Engineer R. E. Bakenhus boarded their private car at the Terminal station about g o'clock last night they carried with them the fate of the city of Birmingham in its fight for the armor plate plant.

Will You join the anti-hy cam
paign? This good work would bring
results that would benefit every
member Of our community. Flies
are our enemies and we should by
all means get rid Of them. They are
easy to get rid of, if we keep up an
active warfare on them. The
greatest weapon we can use is
cleanliness.
The members Of the Boys Corn
Clubs can do full mans share in
helping their fathers get rid of
ninety per cent of the flies that in
wade their homes, by starting with
cleaning the barn. pig pen, and
other filthy places around the home.
No one can make a better fly-trap
than boy, or better help father
screen the house.
The first of April, or when the first
warm spring days come, is the time
tn begin the fight on the flies. OF
course, ii must be kept up every
week or the enemy will surely win
the battle.
Every girl can do a full woman's
part by helping mother clean the
house. Especially since she knows
!, is just as much disgrace to have
flies as il is to have bed bugs in the
home. The best formula for house
cleaning is water, soap. "elbow
grease" with generous supply of
sunshine and fresh air. Ones good
judgement will prompt them how
often during each month this for
mula must be applied.
Let us make one big pull together

growing about as fast as an Okla

AT first we were somewhat sur
prised to find ourselves in the midst
of this hustling and busting life
of the west but. finally, we decided
the best thing to do was to just fall
in line too.
We see plenty Of Indians; but in
stead of seeing him carrying his
bow and arrows, wearing deer-skin
moccasins with feather tied in his
scalplock, we see him as any ordi-
nary person, looking as much civil

industry is the center Of the biggest
interest in this part of the west.
There are big oil wells all around
us. Some producing 1900 bbls. per
