DECATUR

Decatur, February 9.-(Special. 1.-THE
Twin Cities will have their second annual
automobile show sometime in April, it
determined on later on.
The automobile show last spring, which
was the first ever held here, was a
grand success in every way. Many peo-
pie from distance came here to attend
the show
r. L. Malone, well known business
man, will build number of brick two
story store buildings on Second avenue
in Albany. Recently Mr.. Malone bought ,
several buildings on Second avenue adj
joing his place of business, and he is
now removing the old buildings on these
lots to make room for new buildings.
Miss Madge Rhea and Raymond Mar
tin were married last evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Patterson
The Rev. w. P. Wilks officiated. Only
relatives and few friends were pres
emit. After the ceremony the bride aid
groom left for Montgomery, their future
home.
The merchants and manufacturers here
are rejoicing that there are to be no
more heatless Mondays. The heatless
Mondays have greatly interferred with
business Of all kinds in Decatur.
Decatur and Albany are in the midst
of another sugar famine. There is not
pound of sugar to be had in either city,
When the merchants here have sugar
they will sell only % cents worth to each
customer.
DR.. Tom Morrow, who has sister re-
siding in Baltimore, Md, says there has
been no sugar in Baltimore for over
four months. A few weeks ago he sent ,
his sister in Baltimore % cents worth1
of sugar.
AS result of the boom at Sheffield,
caused by the government development
of Muscle Shoals, the three fine hotels
Of Decatur, with about 300 rooms in ALL
are benefitting by the overflow of peo-
pie who are rushing to Sheffield, Florence
and Tuscumbia. Almost every might the
three hotels of Decatur are crowded with
the overflow from the tri-cities.
The future for Decatur looks better
than it has for long time. Every one
is hopeful that the development of Mus
Gle Shoals will mean much for Decatur
this spring and summer
AS result Of the government work at
Sheffield, labor of all kinds is getting
scarce in Decatur and Albany. Many men
have gone from here and secured work
at the Muscle Shoals development.
Last year was the banner year in Nor
gan county thus far in the way of d.
versified farming. More foodstuff was
raised in this county last year than was
ever raised before.

MOBILE

Mobile. February 9. - Especially
George e. Crawford, acting mayor of
Mobile in the absence of Mayor Pat J..
Lyons, last night, addressing the police
department members, told them that
'I know where blind tigers are
located, so do you" and that If patrol
men didn't arrest liquor sellers they
would be replaced as rapidly as he
could do so. The acting mayor said
that "the people are Disguised with
the way whisky has been handled and
the law enforced in Mobile, and. that
they hope the violators will be made
to suffer if they continue in business"
S. P.Gaillard, Mobiles member Of the
Alabama public service commission to.
day announced his candidacy for re-
election In his statement, he said
among other things:
"In announcing for reelection I can
look all the people of Alabama in the
face and say that, according to the
light given me, have (1) lived up to
my oath of office; CD kept my pre-
election promises; CD I have not been
dominated by any man or clique, bur
have lived up to the dictates of my
own best Judgment, with the one great
desire to be true to the best interests
of the state of Alabama"
Since the federal government stepped
into the game of chasing tigers" in
Mobile as result Of liquor being sold
to soldiers, persons caught are held
under bond of $4,000. This bail is ex-
acted by United States Commissioner
Jere Austil1. So far four persons have
appeared before the commissioner and
they were compelled to stay in prison
because of the amount of bond re-
quired.

war there has been an increase in the

SAY, Just a minute. I forgot to ask
YOU My brothers son works down
town and makes $40 week. Does that
have to be reported?
A. The wages of minor children must
be reported in the parents income,
while the parent receives the 5000 adj
ditional exemption for each child.
You made the statement in an early
lesson that gifts to charitable organi-
cations were exempt. Is there no limit
TO charity in that regard.
A. Yes, there is. A man cannot give
more than IS per cent of his income.
And remember, only to organized charl-
ties.
Can a guardian appointed by the

A. Certainly-under oath or subject

any government tax which might pc
levied against them by the United
States government, and which they
might be ordered to withhold from

Why did they do that?
A. Because it AIDED in the marketing

Oh. 1 see! Does every corporation 40

A. Now, have a little patience and TIL

sisted that these corporations should
collect the money from their pond
holders on nontax free issues ana pay
income tax on coupons OF their ponus,
where the investor did not claim fuli
exemption. Under the 1916 act, 1t was
necessary for everybody who paid TO
another a sum in excess OF the mini
mum exemption of that law, $4,000 Tor
single and $4,000 for married persons
to collect the income tax for the gov

ular teacher must take the exami-
nation in April or he or she will
not be allowed to teach any longer.
Married women, whose house
hold duties will permit, will be
welcome to teach in the Delaware
schools next year, especially those
who have had college or normal
school training. This request is
made because of the feeling that
there will be shortage of teachers
next year. They will, of course, be
compelled to take the examinations
and should attend the Summer
School to refresh themselves on
branches in which they 49, have
not studied for several yeras.

which the housewife may have a

To teach the substitution of
foods which are plentiful or which
can not be shipped for those need
ed by our soldiers or allies.
To teach the proper balancing Of
the diet when these foods are used.
To encourage the use of perish
ables.
To assist in the preservation of
perishables by means Of canning
and drying, so that no food shall
be wasted.
Under the Farm Labor, of which
Mr.. Griffin Ellison is chairman, a
lengthy discussion followed. Mr..
Stengle, Farm Labor Specialist,
discussed briefly the labor situa-
ton. 1t was moved and carried
that the labor chairman should re-
present the Farm Bureau in the
meetings of the Council of Defense
Labor committee. A committee
was appointed to interview the
District Board requesting the
Board that in cases where the
farmer had secured a deferred
classification for his farm men
that before the man severed his
relations with the farmer that he
be required to show reason for his
changing positions. In case he had
no reasons it would be optional
with him to remain on the farm or
be subject to the draft. In regard
to the Labor Specialist who has
been recently appointed to investi-
gate the farm labor conditions in
the state, it was thought that it
would be we'll for him to get in
close touch with the farmers at
their meetings and elsewhere and
determine the exact labor situa-
ton, as we'll as make estimates for
the amount of labor that will prob
ably be needed during the coming
harvest seasons and report these
facts to the Government Employ
ment Service in Wilmington. 1t is
thought that by some organized
system that the farmers can be
supplied with abundance of labor
during our harvest seasons.
The County Agent was instruct
ed to look after a Farm Bureau
booth at Farmers Day to be held
on the College Farm. The idea of
this booth is to set before the
farmers of the county the work
that is being done by the various
chairmen of the Farm Bureau. 1t
was also thought we'll that the
chairmen of the Executive Com
mittee have charge of the inspec-
ton trips over the farm that day.
