Upon another occasion a beauti-
full stenographer and typist, partak-

beauty, and in the course OF the
Irritation the young woman drew
with q colored pencil two hearts on
the cover OF the box on which she
and her German josher sat. To com
plete the effect, Papen drew an ar
row piercing the hearts.
OF course, the box couldn't get to
Germany from America without be
ing seen, and the drawings served
to identify this particular box when
it reached a certain port through
which it was forced to pasSIand
the result was that the box and
its contents fell into the hands Of

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL BOYS ERECT SLAB
 TO DEAD COMRADE

As a result of the unselfishness of the Boys Industrial School band, a fine little monument graces the oth- erwise bare mound over the grave of Willie Davis. who died at the school sometime ago.
 This band of little fellows went to Huntsville sometime ago to play for the county fair and for the sum of s1 each stayed a day over their time. They received the dollar and were joy ously anticipating the way in which they would spend the money all the way to Birmingham.
 However, one member of the band was seen looking bit thoughtful and when the school was reached an nounced that he was going to give his dollar to help put a small monument over the grave of Willie Davis. who had died sometime before. The other members of the band immediately fell into line and now pretty little mon- ument marks the new grave of. their little tomrade.

 This mammoth Marconi station is slt- uated just outside Los Angeles, Cal, a priyate enterprise that has been taken over by the government since the dec laration of war against Germany.

IN . SELECTING JURORS
 CLAIM 0F PETITION
Judge Sharpe Sets Hearing of Injunction for Decem- Der 15 Upon Filing of
 the Petition

Petition was filed to enjoin the jury commission from discriminating in the selection of persons qualified for jury service in Judge Sharpes court yes- terday morning. The title aof the case is the state of Alabama ex rel. Hor- ace c. Afford and Joseph L. terrell vs. Eugene l.. Brown, James B. Gibson, and John E. Reid, as jury commission CTS of Jefferson county, Alabama. An order for the defendants to appear in court December 15 and show cause why the prayer of the petitioners should not be granted was issued by Judge Sharpe upon the filing of the petition.
 The rclators set forth claims that they arc informed, believe and charge that the clerk of the commission, acting |under orders of the commission, has visited plants owned by large corpora tions and left blanks to place thereon the names of employees subject to Jury duty, and that instructions are given not to place thereon the names of per- sons who would probably be unfavor- able to large corporations In the trial of suits, and these lists are accepted as true and complete list of those persons in each plant subject to jury duty
 Relators further set forth in the peti- ton their belief that by such discrimi- nation in selecting the names or those to be drawn for jury duty the commits sion has made it impossible for many persons with meritorious claims for damages for personal injuries to obtain justice in the courts of the county. They further set forth that relators are at torneys in several actions for damages to be brought before the courts, triable by jury, and that said actions will be tried by jury which will be drawn from a box which does not contain the names of all the qualified jurors of the county.

Alaban1a Black-Eyed Pea Club Files Unique Report
 With Preparedness Bureau
Seven Hundred Children Joined the Club and As Result Approximately $50 Acres Were Planted in Peas, Netting Each Child
 s3SOO For the 10 Pounds Planted

come from the 10 pounds amounted to over s3S to each one selling as much as 800 pounds There were others who made failures on account Of weather conditions, indifference. failure to cuiti- vate, etc.
 At the time this was started there wal a great cry for seed, and the question or marketing the product was one that was constantly before the farmers mind. Ine grocers by their action solved both or these questions; they supplied the seeo and guaranteed the sale of the crop as the highest possible price. The cost oL the undertaking was $1200, shared equally by the following wholesale grocers:
 Alabama Grocery company, Beck Canoy and Grocery company, Bell-Rogers Fro- duce company, Earle Bros, McLester VanHoose CO, Marshall Jordan & keilns B. F. Roden Grocery company, c. ". Hopson & Son, Tyler Grocery Co, Collins & Co, Franklin, Stiles & Frankilns Wood Fruitticher Grocery Co, F. x. Norton & Son.
 The returns as reported seem to indl- cate that there will be a deficit of $5oo. but the grocers feel that this is money well spent, and that some provision should be made to carry on the work next year.
 The prizes have not been awaroed on account of incomplete reports, but tns committee has decided not to delay thiA matter longer than December 20. Res spectfully submitted,
