the countries of the world, and pledg-
ing the continuing support Of the union
in securing funds to relieve the Jews
in Poland, Roumania and Palestine.
1t was decided to hold the next BIZ
ennial council in Buffalo, N. Y. in 1921
probably in June. Daniel P. Hays, OF
New York, speaking in the morning,
clearly and forcefully defined the
Unions attitude toward Zionism. For
American Jews, he said, their only sal
walton is in the recognition of Ju-
daism as religion, and the living OF
a Jewish life in a religious sense. He
declared that there no other justifi-
cation for their existence as a separ-
ate people in America.
This evening banquet to the dele

Fire of Unknown Origin Re- suits in Total Loss of
 Local Plant

The Birmingham Box and Veneer works. located on Ninth avenue and Fortyfifth street, was totally destroyed by fire, which occurred about ? O clock this morning. The fire originated in the rear of the building from an unknown cause. The building. large. one-story frame structure, the machinery and a large quantity of lumber and other ma terials were completely destroyed.
 The fire was discovered by the watch man of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power companys substation. who turned in the alarm. Several of the fire stations in that immediate territory re- sponded quickly, but the fire had gained too much headway for much effective work to be done, owing to the nature of the building and the inflammable product of the plant

Profit From Good Fowls

The story of Reuben Lowe of North Shapleigh, Me-, illustrated the possible profits from poultry keeping where care full management is practiced During 1913 this poultryman, who devotes only part of his time to chicken raising. kept 2o birds, which paid him profit over feed cost of more than s1000, equivalent to s4 hen. Included in this amount are the sales of a few eggs for hatching. about 30 cockerels sold for breeding purposes at &. 50 to $ each, as well as the mar ket eggs, which were disposed of in large quantities. Mir Lowe keeps White Wyan- dottes of a strain that wins in the show ring when judged according to either the Standard of Perfection or utility sta ndard.
 One pen of 20 bullets owned by this Maine poultry raiser produced eggs as fcllows November. 19lS n3 December, 1918, AS: January. 1919, 3So; February, 1919, 326; March. 1919. 456; a total of 1893 eggs, averaging 9.65 eggs per bird in hve months.
 It pays to keep poultry of this Kind, and growers everywhere are coming to realize that there is more money in keeping better fowl and feeding them properly balanced rations than in vast in. time with inferior birds.

Tick Fight Hottest in July

Next month-July-probably will be the biggest month of the year in the cam paign to drive the cattle fever tick from the south. Past Julys always have marked the apex of the seasons work, at least so far as the number of cattle dipped is concerned, and the tick eradication forces of the United States Department of Agriculture and the CO., present solid front to the cattle para site. New records for March and April
 clippings were set this year. and 1t is believed that May also went lover the top" although complete reports have not yet been tabulated Reports from the Held indicate that this June will prove to have been the biggest June in the anti tick campaign. Working up to this eli max, the tick-eradication forces are work ing to make it the best July on record. After July there may be decrease in the total number of clippings. but it is essential that the work be kept up throughout the seacon to foil the repro ductive powers of the tick, which are so marked that a few of the parasites are capable of producing a million with in few months. According to the re ports reaching the Department of Agri- culture, pubic sentiment everywhere. among the general public and business men as well as among farmers and live stock owners. is awakening fully to the necessity of ridding the south from the insect enemy that has impeded the proper development of cattle raising and dairy ing in this section of the country.

 The story is of unusual strong appeal, telling the heart romance of young society man who, in an attempt to rescue his brother from the wiles of celebrated female crook, falls vic- tim to her charms, and assuming the name of a noted criminal, takes his
