SCORES
 WILL BE GIVEN
 MEN AT FRONT
TRepublican A. P. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO. May 14.-Approximately 5 men from each of the two major leagues are subject to national service under the selective draft according to an estimate made by Ban Johnson, president of the American league, who was here today after trip over the eastern end of his circuit.
 He said that the magnates are un- willing to attempt to influence any athlete who believes his country needs him, but that there yet is hope that the big leagues will be permitted to finish the season without the disrup- tiOnof the teams. The belief was based upon the promise that a ball player will be in as good physical condition at the end of the season. as the average con- script who has had ,i month or so of military training and that most of the players have had some training in drill
 Upon the suggestion of Captain T. L. Huston of the New York Americans MT. Johnson is making arrangements to have American league scores dis tributed to Canadian and American troops at the front.

SAVE PAPER IN
 USE OF STAMPS

The third assistant postmaster general has issued the following:
 AS measure of economy postmasters and postoffice employees are directed to encourage the public to use stamps of the highest denominations suited to the amount of postage required on all mail For example. 2-cent stamp instead of two l-cent stamps should be affixed to letters needing cents postage, and a To- cent stamp instead of five 2-cent stamps should be attached to parcels requiring 10 cents postage. Cooperation between postoffice employees and the public in the sale and use of stamps of the higher denominations will effect large saving to the government in the cost of pro- ducing, transporting and canceling them, and will benefit the public in minimizing the number of stamps handled and af- fixed to mail. This benefit will be espe- cially important to business concerns mailing large quantities of letters and parcels, and postmasters are directed to bring the suggestion particularly to their notice.
 Tt is also suggested that large malers could use precanceled stamps or permits to their advantage, and it would be an economy of time to the poStoffce''

COMMUNITY CANNER IN ENSLEY SECTION

Some two weeks ago Mrs Mathis ad- dressed large audience at the Ensley High school auditorium in the interest of garden planting and garden conserva- ton. The outcome of this meeting was the organization of an enthusiastic House wives league in Ensley that is still grow ing. It is hoped that every housewife in the city will enlist.
 This organization also has a large con- tingent of valuable male supporters. The primary object is to establish a canning plant in Ensley for the purpose of utilizing all the spare garden products, not only within the city limits but outside, in the surrounding country.
 committee is making careful investi- gation of the most practical canning equipment and within the week it is pro- posed to install an outfit operated by steam, with a capacity of from 2000 to 5000 cans per day.
 The services of an expert have been engaged to take charge of the canning.
 It was at first proposed to borrow money from the bank to project this worthy enterprise, but so many ladies have ad- vanced the sum of S5, to be taken up later in canned goods, that it may not be neces- sary to borrow a penny.
 It is proposed to go out into the coun- try and meet the farmers and get in touch with them.
 The committee will be glad to buy the farmers materials outright, or else make payment in canned goods.
 It is hoped in this way that town and country may unite to eliminate waste in food products and so serve our country in a substantial way.
 Further details of this organization will appear in the columns of The Age-Herald.
 Those wishing to know particulars may inquire of Mrs. J. c. Bryant, 2124 Ave- nue G, Ensley.

B|G Y. M. [. A. FUND OVERSUDSCRIBED BY ANN|STON CITIZENS

Anniston. June 12.-(Special.) l.)-''Y You have not only set precedent, but have established a record for the south and, l believe, for the nation said Secretary Stallings of the Young Mems Christian association at the dinner for the captains Tuesday at noon, when it was announced that Anniston not only had given it's as- sessment of 5000 toward the $5O,OOO to be raised in Alabama for the army Young Mems Christian association, but had, within one-fourth of the time limit set, T .'hsnribed to the amount of $546 50, With at least $500 more in prospect
 eUng fatulatory expressions were made by Secretary Howell, who was also among the speakers at the dinner, and these two men. together with Chaplain A. J. Smith of the Fifth Georgia regi- ment, were completely astounded at the eNeinphfcation of the "Anniston spirit" at the dinner Monday evening, when s400O Of the Anniston assessment was raised m about half an hour. The balance of the $60o0 could have been raised at that meeting. but it was stated then that some of those who were unable to be present might feel slighted if denied a chance to make a contribution to the cause
 Among the speakers last night, prac- tically every one made the assertion that the subscription to the Army Young Mems Christian association Is but a be- ginning toward the establishment of a permanent institution of the kind in An niston, and with this end in view the cap tains who went out after the subscrip- tons Tuesday were instructed to not call on any corporations to subscribe, as 1t was desired that the subscriptions to the Army Young Mems Christian associa- tion should be purely private and vol untarY offering.

FUNERAL SERVICE
 FOR CAPT. JOHNSON
Impressive Knights Templar Service Conducted Last Night at the
 Masonic Temple

Funeral services Tor Capt J. s. Johnson. aged 61 years. the oldest of- ficer of the city in point of service, who died at his home. 916 Georgia avenue, Monday morning, were con- ducted from the Masonic temple last night at S:30 o'clock. The body of the widely known captain remained at the temple during the night, where scores of friends viewed it for the last time.
 Owing to a misunderstanding the po- lice department was not represented at the services last night at the Masonic temple as the impression prevailed that It was largely for the members of the order, The department was also under the impression that the services would be held this morning. The officers re- gret the misunderstanding, as every member of the police and detective de- partments admired and respected Capta.@ Johnson and were anxious to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory last night.
 When the body is transferred from the Masonic temple this morning both de- partments will be represented and will accompany the body to the station.
 The last rites will be said at Liv- 1ngston today. The body will be shipped to the former home of Cap taln Johnson this morning by Shaw & Son. Accompanying the remains to Liv- lngston will be six members of the Blrmlngham police department. Three will represent the Woodlawn lodge Knights Templar, the other three rep resenting the police department and the Police Relief association, of which Captaln Johnson was member.
 Captain Johnson was one of the most widely known officers in the clty. Children knew him and 1t was rom Captain Johnson that many lit- tle ones were made to feel happy while on the streets He came to the city more than 30 years ago and soon became member of the police de- partment and at the time of death occupied one of the most important positions of the department.

.SENATE'S FINANCE
 COMMITTEE MAKES
 PROGRESS ON BILL
Agreement Is Virtually Reached on Income Tax and Excess Profits Sec
 tiOns of Measure

Washington, June 12.-WorlSing upon sections of the war tax bill designed to raise more than half of the proposed s1- 50c0oO,000 in revenue, the Senate finance committee today nearly completed the in- come tax clause and made much head way on the levy upon corporations excess profits,
 Provisions giving effect to the commit tees previous decision to require income tax information from the source in stead of collection "at the source" were formally adopted. The House rates ex- cept for the additional surtaxes on in- comes of over $4O,o0O substantially were retained
 They are estimated to raise about $533, 100000. Still pending, however, are pro- posals, respectively, by Senator LaFollette to substitute an entirely new section with materially increased rates on large n- comes, and by Senators Penrose and Lodge for further reduction of those in excess of $40,000. Committee sentiment is said to be against the latter.

West Ends Petition for Depot and Agent Is Taken Under Advisement by Board

Montgomery, June 12.-(Special.) )-After Commissioner s. P. Gaillard had charged that the Western and Chattahooche Valley railroads had been playing with the commission, the public service com mission Tuesday afternoon ordered the two railroads to present to it July a deed showing that site had been pur- chased for station at Lanette, Cham bers county.
 MT. Gaillard said the railroads had ig- nored the commission in the past and had failed to carry out instructions. Failure to present the deed will mean legal proceedings at once.
 The commission heard and took under advisement the petition of citizens of West End for a station and agent at that point on the Southern. James Weatherly, member of the Birmingham commission, represented West End.
 An order was issued requiring the Gulf, Florida and Alabama railroad to present at the next meeting a schedule of nondiscriminatory freight rates to points in south Alabama. The comn1is- sion found the rate to discriminate in favor of Pensacola.
