ASKS CONGRESSMAN
 TO GET INTO LINE

pr. J. M. Clark of Russellville has written the following letter:
 'Russellville, Ala, April %, 1917. Hon. w. B. Bankhead, Washington, D. c.
 Dear Sir: I noticed In todays Age Herald a statement that "all the Alabama delegation in Congress was behind the committee In it's adverse report on the 'selective draft act'' asked for by the President
 Surely that is not true!
 The history of our country is full of the failures of the volunteer system of recruiting. The history of the war in Europe now raging shows the folly of depending upon such system
 ''The President has been instructed to employ all the resources of the country Did Congress in that instruction mean only such resources that offered? Hasn { le been empowered to seiZe if necessary, the transporta tion and manufacturing re- sources? Why withhold from him the man power? I hope, sir, the Tenth dis trict is represented by man who is willing, as the people of the district are, to give to our government every facility in the country to accomplish the great purpose to which we have set our hands. Let us not add to the fearful cost of that work by handicapping the govern ment.
 Back Wilson in what he asks for. Your friend, JOHN M. CLARK

CONDEMNATION OF
 BUILDINGS TO BE
 ENFORCED BY CITY
Property Owners Affected Must Carry Out Orders or Show
 Cause Why Not

Secretary Clarence B. Lloyd of the city commission has written a number of property owners Informing them that unless they comply with the man dates of an ordinance passed last Oc- tober, wherein they are required to repair of rage buildings condemned hy the city, the city will do so and charge the cost to the property. These prop erty owners are invited to appear be- fore the commission and show cause why their property should not be con. demned and if they are not present today the condemnation will stand.
 There are many buildings in Bir- mingham that are today in good re- pair as a result of this ordinance and many old eye sores have been removed when all other previous efforts had failed
 Outside of the above feature. which will likely call forth much argument pro and con, the meeting of the com mission today bids fair to be a cut and dried proposition. A vast amount of routine and unimportant matters will be acted upon.

EXCUSE FARMERS
 FROM JURY DUTY
Believe Men Should Be Allowed to Plant Crops Now

Judge H. A. Sharpe, presiding judge of the circuit court, and his associate judges decided yesterday to excuse all farmers summoned for jury duty this week. It was stated that owing to the unfavora- ble weather in the early part of the spring the farmers had been unable to plant their crops and are behind several weeks This condition and the apparent need of food crops were the reasons for excusing the farmer jurors, as the preva- lent rule heretofore has been not to ex- cuse any one for business reasons.
 The juries were organized by Judge John c. Pugh. who informed the agricul- turalists that they were excused for the above reasons. Several of the farmers expressed their appreciation of the con sideration on the part of the court, stat ing that the present fine weather was practically the first opportunity they had to plant their crops.
 There was little delay in making up the iuries and before noon all the divisions of the court were at work and sounding the dockets set for the day

MANY MEN SEEKING
 TO GET ON FARMS
Food Preparedness Committee May
 Be Able to Assist Them

Linden P. Smith. secretary of the civil service board of examiners Is daily receiving inquiries from men who want to get on farms. Since Uncle Sam is not in the farming business only in the way of loaning little money to those who already happen to have a bit of land, MT. Smith is unable to do anything for the applicants.
 Secretary T. P Hay, Jr., of the food preparedness committee suggests that his committee be made clearing house for such inquiries and that in view of the present conditions anent farm labor the committee may in this way be able to put the man who wants to farm in touch with the man who wants someone to till his land. This plan will most likely be decided upon.

GARDEN CALENDARS
 TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Every Household to Receive Folder Containing Much Valuable
 Information

Today Birmingham households will be the recipients of official garden calendars, issued jointly by the city of Birmingham and the Rotary club, this issue being 50,000 in number
 The government has agreed to al- low carriers to handle the folders with just the street number address on them, and this will greatly facilitate their distribution.
 The fact that the negroes are in claded in the prizes as well as the white people is a great stimulus to the garden idea, according to President Ward of the city commission.
 'If anyone doubts what is being done in the way of planting gardens. let them go into the alleys in this city and see what the negroes are do- ing. You won't find vacant space that is not planted in garden" said MT. Ward.
 The prize of s1o0 for the eastern side of the city and a like amount for the western side, offered by two local real estate dealers. will be divided into si; prizes for the negroes
