which was to be used by all those
Joining in the contests, and each girl
made her own apron and cap. Our
club also appointed two girls to go to
one Of the dry goods stores in Lake
Geneva, and they spent one entire aft
ernoon taking the samples and names
Of about 100 different kinds Of cloth.
Then each girl had chance of study
ing these before leaving home.
The cloth naming contest consisted
in the naming of twenty kinds Of
cloth. Each girl entering this contest
went by herself into an inclosed booth
supplied with pencil and paper, with
which she wrote down the names of
the pieces Of cloth pinned on the sides
Of the booth.
There were canning, baking and sew
ing contests. Each girl was required
to wear white dress, apron and cap
In both canning and baking contests.
In these contests we were marked on
our appearance and our method and
facility in handling our utensils and
materials. It was each ones aim to do
her best and the most in the shortest
time.
The baking contest consisted In max
ing a loaf of bread and pan of bak-
ing powder biscuits. We had the priv
1lege Of using our own recipes or those
furnished by Miss Amery, our director.
The biscuit contest was held one after
noon, and the next morning we had
our bread baking contest. About eight
Of US girls at the camp went over to
the amphitheater at o'clock in the
morning and set our bread. Then, at
half past 8, we returned and stayed
until 12. Each one Of us had one loaf
of bread which we baked in the fine
electric ovens that were furnished
for US.
The second contest consisted Of can
ming one can of carrots and one of
peaches by the process method.
The sewing contests, given under
the directions of Miss Boeing, consist
ed of a sample of patching, of darning,
of making a corset cover. This con-
test was held during two days. The
first day the samples Of sewing were
made, and the day we baked bread,
while waiting for it to rise, the corset
cover was made. all seams being sewed
by hand.
By taking first prize in the individual
stunt in the parade which took place
one night on the race track several
points were added to my credit. All
the clubs represented at the fair took
their part in the parade, and great
deal Of interest was manifested In pro
ducing the best exhibit. I represented
Miss Agriculturist, wearing dress
Of alfalfa trimmed with goldenrod. ]
sat at the feet Of Uncle Sam, who
leaned on q hayfork, and we were
carried across the track on cart that
was covered with large United
States flag, held up at the sides by the
members of our club, who were dress
ed as farmers and housewives. The
whole design showed that the power
and future Of Uncle Sam depended
upon agriculture
And think we can all say with
George Washington that the vocation
of agriculture is the most ancient,
most healthful, most honorable and
most useful occupation Of man."

City Attorney M. M. Ullman is in Montl gomery to attend the session of the su- preme court, in which the case of George B. Ward ct all, appellant, vs T. C..

 Attorney Ullman with Cabaniss and Bowie, and John c. Thomson of New York. special counsel for the city, have prepared quite an extensive brief and argument on the appeal of the city from the decision of Judge H. A. Sharpe of the local circuit court sometime ago.
 A large part of the argument of Attor- ney Ullman is in regard to section H6 of the constitution of Alabama, the ques- tion being whether or not this section is a limitation on the power of the city of Birmingham to levy taxes to pay in terest and principal of bonds, and sec tion .225 of the constitution will also be prominent in the arguments.

CONVINCING REALISM
 IN "HONOR SYSTEM
Border Town Raid and Life in Lat est Alcazar Film Thrill the
 Spectators

Much has been said about the value of the sensational photoplay, ''The Honor System,' which is being shown the general human sympathy aroused from this angle one might lose sight of the other great and distinguishing qualities of this master drama.
 Eliminating the great moral story. the powerful record of human love and sympathy and judging it from the viewpoint of a spectacle, one is forced to the conclusion that it is one of the finest pieces of realism the motion picture stage has yet seen.
 True, no great cities tumble, and no heavens fail, and the bowels of the earth are not exposed to view, but this photoplay shows more real, flat on the earth human existence than any film story that has yet been made for the amusement of the public.
 There are scenes depicting the iron tier life of Arizona which are without parallel on the screen. The men are of the west and breathe, snort and fight western fashion. And they love that way, too,
 The most moving scene is when the cewpunchers and rangers of one town dash madly on their mustangs and cavuses to the rescue of their pals in another border town. It has been raided by Mexican bandits and this picture makes Villas Columbus raid look like a game of croquet. The word has been brought to the boys of I.ariat by Joe stanton, the hero. In a 0hirlwind of passion they ride across the desert, the American flag at the head, and save the town.

IBANK4EAD HIGHWAY ROUTE FOR
 WESTERN SECTION ANNOUNCED
City May Prepare For
 Coal Shortage Is VieW
 Of Chairman Fowlkes

-'In the eastern section of the city we have already seen practical coa! famine and we have been bending every effort toward the relief of that section. We now have the promise Of q quantity of coal for relief if we can get the cars to move it. This we hope to do in tine next few days.
 .The coal yards of the city are all be- ing depleted much more rapidly than they are being supplied and there must certainly come a day of reckoning when it is going to be almost impossible for the people of Birmingham to get coal. It is for this reason that I think we should look ahead and do everything we can to provide substitutes for coal. It would seem that the natural thing is for the city administration itself to look ahead and begin to make proper pro vision to meet the situation when 1t comes.
 .It may seem strange that in the midst of a great coal field such as this we should face coal famine, but people do not realize the tremendous demands of the railroads and industries which must be met in order to carry on the war preparations properly."
