Wild'S linOleun
The best for this climate

Experience has demonstrated that certain makes of linoleum are entirely unfitted for this climate. So, in selecting linoleum for our customers, we have exercised extreme care and made many exhausting tests. In Wild's we of fer linoleum that is not only pliable when pur- chased, but will stay that way. To secure this necessary flexibility, a large percentage of lin seed oil and cork have been used in it's manu- facture, and very little clay.
 Wlld'S 1noleum tests very high And we, after Is years of linoleum selling in Birming- ham, unhesitatingly recommend it as being an ideal water and sound proof floor covering.

Seldom Pleasant.

If there is anything people do
not like it is the uncovered and
plain truth. We find individuals
whose integrity and honesty can
not be questioned, who realize their
faults and shortcomings. yet they
simply despise and actually object
to hearing the truth - unless it is
about some one else. They feel
more comfortable when folks tell
them something good about them
selves, no matter how untruthful
and hypocritical, than the plain
unvarnished truth, though it be
unpleasant or disagreeable. This,
same fault follows the individual
in his associations, partnerships
and alliances of all kinds-so much
80 he objects to hear it of any cor
poration, and even of the commu.
nifty with which he lis connected.
He resents frequently, as an indi
vidual, references made by the pas
tor to the congregation of which
he is but a small fiber. ItIwould
appear that the individual is better
off for having his failing called to
his attention, rather than having
them smoothed over or vanished.
The same should be true of a com.
munity or association, but strange
as it may seem, it appears to be
human to be otherwise, and hypo.
crysy and falsehood are preferable

Board Of State Affairs.

Act 140 of 1916 creating the
Board of State Affairs vests it with
various powers and places upon it
various responsibilities. The first,
and perhaps the most important to
the people of the State, is the pow
er vested in the Board to deal with
matters of taxation.
With respect to taxation, the
power of the Board is roughly di-
vided into four classes
First, the power to assess pro-
perty that has therefore, escaped
taxation.
Second, the power to equalize
the assessment of property between
the various governmental sub-di-
visions.
Third, the power to equalize as
sessments, between individuals of
the same local subdivisions.
Fourth, the power to assess the
property of all public service cor
porations, such as railroads, tele-
phone and telegraph companies,
and express companies.
The Board of State Affairs is a
new Board, vested with new pow
ers, and given the authority to deal
with the question of assessments
is a new manner. 1t has no pre-
cedents to follow and no experience
toguide it.
Before this Board can place pro-
perty on the assessment rolls that
has heretofore escaped taxation, it
must know of its existence of that
property.
1t has been asserted by various
people throughout the State and
by some of the newspapers in the
State that the State is full Of tax
dodgers.
If any person, firm or corpora
ton in this State is dodging taxes,
it is the earnest desire of this
Board to know who they are, and
their method of tax dodging.
The Board being new has no set

Protest Against Use of Red Cross
Funds for Tobacco.

Constant queries have come to
our office as to the proprety of u.s.
ing Red Cross funds for the pur-
chase of tobacco for soldiers and
sailors. Numerous protests have
been forwarded to Mr.. Raymond 3.
Fosdick, chairman of the Commits
sion on Training Camp Activities
under the War Department, who is
in sympathy with our side of the
question. AS the government has
decided to provide United States
soldiers and sailors with everything
possible for their comfort, and as
tobacco seems such a necessity to
majority, it is furnished to the
boys. The Presbyterian Ministers
Association of Washington and vi
cinity has nov taken the matter un-
der consideration, and at recent
meeting a protest was issued, which
the secretary was instructed to send
to both houses of Congress. The
protest is against the proposal to
thrust tobacco on every soldier as a
part of his ration" The resolution
further states: "We respectfully
protest against the purchase of to-
bacco for soldiers with Red Cross
funds, much of it contributed by
churches with no intimation it is to
be 80 used. We have no thought
of forbidding soldiers to use tobac-
CO, but believe no sanction should
be given to the use of this harmful
narcotic by having it furnished by
the government as part of the ra-
ton, or presented as a charity,
