in the city in the interests of the
american League of which he is an
organizer. There are only two in the

will be made to add three more posts
TO the county, which will be accom-
plished very soon-at Knowlton, Mos

COMMUNICATION witbE its report:
Your committee on finance in sub
mitting this report, will call your at

III the tax budget at this time
1T should be remembered that with
the construction of our water works
foundation had been laid upon which
future administrations from 1900 on
have caused to build up bonded in
de5tedness which with the issuing of
the vocational school bonds the limit
by law had been reached within a
couple OF thousand dollars.
"The burden of our heavy bonded
Indebtedness is felt by the taxpayers
and should rather be decreased than
increased. Looking forward to that
end, the finance committee caused the
adoption of resolution creating an
alleviation and elimination fund,
which, although slow, is but sure
course to pilot the city's financial con-
dition into the harbor of safety.
THE present administration, be-
sides having provided for the pay
ment of $4,000 interest on the in
debtedness, has also made provision
for the payment of $4,000 on the
principal, thus making it possible for
them to issue $4,000 vocational school
equipment bonds.
ut can be clearly seen that this ad-
ministration has reduced the bonded
Indebtedness by $14,O00,OO, plus $1O,-
600 in the sinking fund.
I'VE would advise future admin
istrations to follow the very path.
Rather than burden the taxpayer of
today we would respectfully recon-
mend that the incoming council (if
conditions warranty issue improve
ment or paving bonds not exceeding
the amount of bonds liquidated dur
ing their term of cffice. BY so doing
the total bonded indebtedness could
be reduced at least by the amount {
provided for by terms of the alleyia-

THE WORLD SERIES
WON BY CINCINNATI REDS
BEAT CHICAGO WHITE SOX
FIVE OUT OF EIGHT GAMES

The world series of base bail games
between the White Sox of Chicago,
and the Reds of Cincinnati, was won
Thursday by the latter aggregation.
Probably no series in this country
so much enthusiasm. In every city
and village in the land it seemed like
a local game, and each club had its
favorites, and so loyal were they to
their clubs that there was great re-
joicing by one crowd when winning
game was played and great sorrow by
another when their side lost.
From the start it has seemed that
the Reds had the better club that it
seemed to win whenever plans were
laid to do so. The games have de-
veloped some wonderful players--as
good, perhaps, as the country has
produced. The Reds practically had
won the series before the Sexs got
fairly under headway. The latter sue
ceeded in winning three of the games
and had they won the fourth, so that
it would have taken the ninth game to
decide about every fan in the country
if they could have scraped together
enough money to get to Chicago.
would have been there to see the
final game, but the Reds did not pro-
pose to run any risk and cinched the
5. 1t was bitter pill for the Sox
and its followers, but they had to
swallow it.

was as follows:

Paving Costs Less

Paving Costs Less
 Our force in the engineering depart ment is smaller now than it has been since the panic days of 19O7." said James D, Webb. assistant city engineer. "The only work of importance we have at present is the Twenty-frst street viaduct' which is to be completed soon.
 Since the cost of all such wor', as parvins is paid by property owne.5 in Birmingham, we are in position to l. ear all kinds of complaints and protests from them, especially in regard to the cost of the work. I remember somtime ago our pavement was costing $1.5O a square yard At the same time Atlanta and oth- CT cities were paying g. and over for the same work.
 The reason for the better prices pre- vailing here was because we have the paving basis right here and competition was keen. Still, property owners failed to see the comparison. Now that labor and materials have made great ad- vance they always compare present prices with those formerly paid and throw up their hands I'll protest. But such work costs less here than in most places"

A HINT TO MOVE ON

From the Andalusia Star.
 There came into the city of Andalusia certain rich man and a prospector.
 And it so happened that the first man
 he met was one of Andalusia's most
 prominent business men and a booster. The rich man listened to the business mans boosting; because enthusiastic over
 Andalusia's bright future; and plans were discussed in regard to the erection of a great factory-a factory that would in- crease the wealth and population of Gov ington county. They shook hands and the rich man passed on greatly impressed. Engrossed in thought of the new busi- ness venture he was contemplating mak- ing in Andalusia, the rich man walked
 slowly, his eyes upon the pavement. And then an unfortunate thing happened. His head struck an awning Again he was greatly impressed; pain fully so. Indeed, so impressive was the last impression that he took the next train out of the city, never to bump his
 head on another of Andalus.a's avn ings.
 Moral: Fix your awnings.

TOURISTS MAY GO TO BELGIUM

From the Indianapolis Star.
 It is rather a shrewd move on the part of Belgium to say that tourists who de- sire to visit the battlefelds of that coun- try and it's desolated areas may do so after June 1. The government has prob ably discerned tendency of outsiders. perhaps especially among Americans, to forget German atrocities or rather to fail to visualize them-a feeling that Belgians fear may even influence the peace con ference in deciding on the terms of repar- ation.
 The armistice had hardly been signed when applications for passports began to pour into the state department from Americans who wanted to visit the battle regions without delay. France hastily made official announcement that it did not want visitors at that time, that it could not take care of them and that especially in the devastated territory they could not be provided for This condi- tion probably still exists in France. where the region fought over is far more ex- tensive than that in Belgium and where towns and villages suffered more com plete destruction.
 Under the circumstances tourists can not be otherwise than a nuisance in both countries, but some benefit may result from the creation of sentiment resulting from sight of the ruins at their worst

cess of transatlantic flight from this side of the world, are said to be dis counted by the navy department, since at an estimated height of two thou sand feet, which will be the altitude maintained, winds blowing toward the east will be of little help.
 It is now thought that sufficient gasoline can be carried on one of the N. C.. type of flying boats for a non- stop flight. The distance from New foundland to the Irish coast is 1860 nautical miles. Barring unforeseen &C., cidents, this distance should easily be negotiated by any one of a number of airplanes and flying boats now in use.
 The crew of five men on each of the two or more craft with which the navy's attempt will be made will have an opportunity of winning fame and taking part in what seems to be the last great adventure, unless at some distant day interplanetary communi- cation is established.

LEVINE IS SUSPICIOUS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. | Nicolai Lenine desires to be very cer-
 tain that the Hungarian bolsheviki are
 true blue,' or rather, true "Reds," and not merely socialists masquerading under a bolshevist disguise. Undoubtedly Bella Kun and his followers wish to scare the
 world and the best way to frighten peo- pie nowadays is to assume the bolshevist garb Only, Lenine is not satisfied with mere appearances. Not till the Magyars have butchered big patches of bourgeois | will Lenine be sufficiently assured Of their, genuineness.
 It is barely possible that Lenine may be disappointed. Kun and his associates announce that the lives of Hungarlans will be safe and that foreigners will not be moested. He has promulgated orders of confiscation against Hungarian land
 holders, and has, in general, followed the
 Russian model of soviet rule, but he has.
 as yet, displayed no bloodthrstiness. Accordingly, Lenine hesitates to receive him as full fledged comrade
 Lenine's suspicion will perhaps restrain Hilii llpil tTyHlS tO Sciiu all army ol
 Russian Reds" through Galicia into Hungary. He may send words of en- couragement to Bella Kun, but it is a different matter to send Red army
 out of Russia for service in a foreign
 land. Not till there is a very close al-
 liance that at least tacitly recognizes
 Lenines supremacy as tyrant and dic- tator of all the bolsheviki is the Mos-
 COW autocrat likely to assume more than
 an advisory participation in Hungarian
 affairs.
 This caution on the part of Lenine does
 not materially lessen the boIshevist dan
 ger. No one can doubt that the Hun
 garian Reds will deliver themselves
 body and soul to the Russians the mo-
 ment they are seriously thrNltened from
 outside. Thus united, the bolshevist
 movement will have an advantage which
 the allies enjoyed during the closing months of the war, but which they have since cast aside-tlle advantage of unity of leadership. Lenines caution, instead of weakening the bolshevist movement, may indeed greatly strengthen it by com polling the Magyar communists to accept Lenine's leadership. And, by this time. no one can doubt that Nicolai is crafty and able leader
