Mussrove,s Good Work

T have been very much interested in what Breck Musgrove is doing in Walker county in the way of interesting the people in better forms of agriculture" said B. F. Moore.
 I understand that he has already pur- chased more than $10o0O worth of seed. which he will sell practically at cost. His aim was to get the right kind in suf- ficient quantities to insure a full plant ing. His experiment in cooperative pig raising is another of his practical stunts. think the man who plants foodstuffs or gets them planted is doing worth while work and I commend my friend 'Breck' on his good work among his home people,"

From the Selma Journal
 Through the work of firepugs, who were very active in the past few weeks in Birmingham, the states largest city has lost three of it's handsome school houses by flames.
 But three school houses will not halt the 225.O0Q people residing in the Magic City. They will not hesitate to move forward They will not hang back They have already decided to call an election and get to work on the rebuild ing of her school houses. The city con- mission will call an election and the peo- sple will, no doubt, vote to issue $l,Ooo'oou worth of bonds to rebuild the schools and make such other improvements as may be necessary. Birmingham will not allow her public school system to lack proper support.

RENTING ROOMS IN WASHINGTON

RENTING ROOMS IN WASHINGTON Julian Street, in the Saturday Evening Post
 Men of domestic tendency who go to Washington for special work Tn connec- ton with the war and attempt to make homes there for their families quickly discover that there is at least one form of profiteering that the government has not suppressed. Whomever the war may have hit it has not hit the Washington landlord. No one has told him that he must "be good" He is practicing ex- tortion and rolling in prosperity.
 Tn the last year rents have jum;.cd from 150 to 250 per cent, whether for houses or apartments. Many regu,ar residents have been tempted by the fam inc prices to lease their homes and there has also been much speculation in spectators renting va cant apartments,. furnishing them

draft-Unusual Point is Raised.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
| Montezuma, March 12.-District court
Il, entering upon the second week. The
grand jury had brief session return
ing but one indictment which has not
Yet been made public.
! The petit jury commenced work yes
terday. The first case to be tried to a
jury is that of Fairchld VS.. the Grin
lIell Savings Bank. The facts are
somewhat unusual. The Fairchild
company secured the contract to erect
tle new school building at Grinnell.
The company opened an account at the
defendant bank and not only carried
checking account but borrowed some
money there. Later they secured the
contract to erect a garage and wished
u keep the two accounts separate, so
opened another account at the bank
known as the garage account. Some
me in the late summer the garage
account was overdrawn and when the
\ !aintiff would not take care Of the
Cverdraft the bank transferred enough
from the first account to make the sec
ond even. Some checks were out on
the first account which were protested
when presented at the bank, because
iof the transfer, according to the claim
of the plaintiff. The plaintiff claimed
there was transferred something like
$3.50 which should have remained in
the first account and that on account
of that the bonding company would
not let the plaintiff draw any more
money on the job, that he could not
get other bonds for other contracts and
that he had been damaged all in the
sum Of $4,000 besides the amount
transferred.
The claim of the defendant is that
the two accounts were really that Of
the same concern, handled separately
50 as to keep the accounts of the two
buildings separate. That what was
done was acquiesced in by the plaintiff
because he afterwards made other de-
posts with them. The claim, too that
money that belonged in the garage ac-
count had been deposited in the first
account. The death Of Henry Buch-
neau stopped the work on the garage
building because he had undertaken
verbally to help in the erection Of the
building and only part Of the fund,
! ad been placed III the bank at the
time. The excavation was practically
completed at the time of his death.
The dirt from the garage excavation
was sold to the school district to grade
around the new building and It is
claimed that the payment by the dis
trict for the dirt in place Of being de-
posted to the credit of the garage ac-
count was in fact placed to the Fair
child original account. The case will
reach the jury today.
