VICE ON DECREASE
 IN BIRMINGHAM IS
 TAYLOR'S BELIEF
Dr. Barrett Wonders Where 70 Per Cent of Men Were Infected If 30 Per Cent
 Were Local Victims

Following a conference with the city commission, County Solicitor Tate. government officials and army off, cers from Camp McClelland on Feb ruary 19. there has beer the most perfect cooperation and harmony prevalent and the city officials, through the aid of the government of fcials and the military police from Camp Mcclellan, have been able to de- crease vice in Birmingham to the low est degree that has been on record in the past two years, according to statement made last night by Commits sioner of Public Safety John II. Fay Tor.
 ",rhere is less vice and illegal
 traffic in women and liquor in the
 city of Birmingham today than
 there has ever been at any gwen
 time within the last two years.
 and much of the criticism that has
 been directed against Birmingham
 from outside sources in respect to
 the enforcement of the law by the
 police of this city within the past . fcur months is unjust when viewed
 in the light of obstacles, finan-
 cial and otherwise, that the city
 is endeavoring to overcome" said
 Commissioner Taylor.
 pr. N A. Barrett president of the city commission, stated yesterday aft ernoon that the city was pleased to have the cooperation of Solicitor Tate and that as the head of the city gov ernment he would welcome any as- sistance that was offered from any source to make Birmingham better and cleaner.
 While the authorities at Camp
 Mcclellan state that there are out
 of a certain number of cases of
 men in the stockade at that place
 who are victims of disease 80 per
 cent of whose cases are tranceable
 to sources of infection in Bir-
 mingham. I am wondering where
 the other 70 per cent were infect
 ed This leads me to believe that
 Birmingham Is not so bad as it
 would appear from the reports"
 said Dr, Barrett.
 Just what the grand jury will do in the premises remains to be seen. as it is not safe guess to estimate the doings of that body in advance of their report

OWN YOUR HOME,' IS REALTORS SLOGAN
Exchange Meets at Lunch to Discuss Plans for Push
 ing Campaign

President Alex Montgomery will call the Realtors to order at the Southern club today and immediately bring up the housing situation and it's remedy, namely. home ownership.
 Key Milner is the chairman of this own Your Homep committee, and will be called on to tell something of the plans he has worked out for the propa- gation of this idea. Of course. Hill Ferg- uson will come across with something good, as he is the originator of the movement
 The following extract taken from the weekly bulletin of the exchange will give some idea of what Is going to hap pen at the Southern club today:
 Now that rents are going up and houses or becoming searcer than hens teeth you can recommend to your friends that they buy real estate without stretch ing your conscience.
 Living in the same town with Hill Ferguson. naturally you have heard of the Own Your Home campaign. Hill eats it, sleeps it and dreams it 24 hours a day.
 But, to the point. We want to make it just as bad form to rent home as it is to rent a suit of clothes or a. toothbrush. You talk about thrift as the watchword of the nation. why this home ownership movement has got all the other ways of saving backed off the boards.
 Skipper Key Milner is just about to launch the good ship Own Your Home or, the high seas of prosperity where. aided by strong trade winds and with all sales ahead, he hopes to reach the harbor of success. You are the light houses that must keep the cruel rocks from goring her side.

HOGS FED CHEAPLY ON GOOD
| PASTURE .. T.

Recent experience has shown that 9
good pasture is one of the cheapest
sources of food for hogs, says Andrew
Boss Of the Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton. Brood ~sows and their itters
should have green feed Of some kind.
Green clover is best. Oats and peas
are good substitute. Oats and dwarf
Essex rape or any Of. the cereal grains
ssown with rape and clover are also sat.
isfactory pasture crops; a mkt, Of
oats one and one-half bushels, peas
one bushel, and rape two pounds an
acre will give splendid pasture that
will furnish feed until about the .drst
of August. A field Of corn in which lllel
three pounds Of rape has been sown
broadcast at the last cultivation can
very well supplement the oats and pea
pasture. Such pastures will greatly re-
duce the grain feed and lessen the ex-
Ipense in the production Of pork. It is
very unwise to try to make pork on
grain feed alone, as cheap forage is q
large factor in pork production.
