Boys and Girls Farm
Club Prize Act

m HE prize bill introduced in the
y legislature by Representative
Long of Sumter and passed, for the
extension work, was a progressive
step.
The main features of the law are
summed up as follows: A county
board of directors is created to have
charge of all district and county boys
and girls club fairs.
The board is to divide the county
into ten fair districts, BASED upon
the school attendance of the previous
year.
In order to have a district fair
twenty-five dollars must be raised
ano a majority of the voters in the
district must sign petition request
ing the county board of revenue to
declare the law in force for the dis
trict. When a majority of the dis
tricts qualify for holding district
fairs then five hundred dollars may
be appropriated.
All district fairs must be held prior
to county fairs for club boys and
girls in the same county and such
fairs must not be held later than
November Is of each year.
Fifty dollars for a district fair may
be spent, according to the discretion
of the board, for offering premiums
or for holding meetings or short
courses of instruction.
The boys and girls clubs have done
a wonderful work in promoting agri-
culture. They have added wealth to
the state and have given zest to the

Outlook Bright for
City Tax Increase

HE amendment for allowing
= forty-two cities in Alabama to
increase their tax rate not to exceed
five mills is growing constantly in
favor. Commissioner J. r. Horn
ady is making an active campaign
and the outlook for a victory is
bright.
Birmingham has a lower tax than
any large city in the United
States, and it is greatly cramped
thereby.
Four years ago the people voted
on an increase, but the proposition
was rejected. 1t was a serious mis-
take, and the citizens now see it. An
Increase of five mills will enable
Birmingham to build many miles of
paved roads and do many things nee
esssry to advance this city's sanitary
interests. In other words, triumph
in the amendment election will put
Birmingham on the map as it should
bean up-to-date city.
The other cities included in the
proposition will be greatly benefited.
The people in the country generally
should be glad to help the cities and
vote accordingly.
The day of small thinking should be
a thing of the past There should not
be single vote in the negative.

The war department asked for an

that one hundred and seventy five
thousand would be sufficient.
General Pershing, in giving his
views before the Senate committee,
explained that two hundred and sew
enty-five thousand to three hundred
thousand would be ample. Three hun
dred thousand should be the maxi
mum. He pointed out that as a regu-

he was opposed to force larger than
was needed.
