 COULD SECURE SITE Ns
 That Howard college itself would be in better financial status, in as much as it could secure the more favorable site in vital touch with the city o~Birmingham, and have in cash after purchasing the new site from ST, 900 to $1000O0 with which to start the new buildings. It is urged that none of the present buildings, ex- cepting the administration building, can be retained for the Greater Howard with modern buildings, etc.
 That the transplanting seems to be in dispensable to the Greater Howard which will be a vigorous instrument for the progress of the denomination and the Kingdom of God.
 could not give out this in-
 formation at this time unless
 had been told that two sites are being considered, one in the Coun-
 try club district md the other in
 the Glen Iris section. | under
 stand that sufficient ncreage in
 both of these neiehborhoodsN can be had to care for the needs of
 the college.
 A committee was appointed recently to report on sites, and when they have completed their investigations they will. in turn, report to the board of trustees. who will then put the whole mater squarely up to the board of directors of the convention, who have the power to act The members of the committee are R. E.. Lambert, Darlington; pr. A. s. Smith, Alexander City; H. J. Wi1lingham, Florence; D. c. Cooper, Oxford Prof A. D. smith Birmingham; w. R. Hilllard, Birming- ham: Dr. Jesse A. Cook, Birmingham; Ed s. Moore, Birmingham; Dr J. R. Hobbs, Birmingham.
 Everyone present at the recent Ala bama Baptist state convention, held here. will recall that there was much discussion over the removal of the Orphans Home from Evergreen to Troy, but at that time the Howard college site and buildings were not considered.
 The older Baptists of the state will remember that when Howard college was transplanted from Marion to East Lake it was after years of heated debate and that it Is only within the past few years that the old differences have been somewhat forgotten.
 The matter now being agitated is sure to bring about world of talk. In this story I am giving the side of only those who seek the change. Those opposing it will no doubt pre- sent their views at some later date. am simply acting as a reporter.

Committee Issues Statement Showing Necessity of Home Rule Taxation for
 42 Cities and Towns.
 Other Amendment

'Both proposed d1constitutional amend ments will win at the polls Monday was the final statement last night by John R. Hornady. chairman of the Ala bama towns campaign committee. ir connection with the home rule taxation and soldiers poll tax provisions.
 While it is admitted that heavy vote is unlikely. city officials were oi the opinion that the amendments will carry by safe majority.
 The statement from the local cam paign headquarters says;
 1sOne of these amendments is de- signed to furnish relief to 42 Ala bama communities that are desper- ateIy in need of increased reve- nues, while the other relieves those soldiers wbo became disfrsnchised because they could not pay their poll tax while they were away fighting our battles. A vote for either amepdment is n vote to do the right and gracious thing. and we feel sure that the generous and thought full citizens of Alabama. with the Christmas spirit still afiame in their breasts, will give to the 42 needy towns the right to vote more money for their own use, and will also restore to our gaiiaRt soldiers the right of citizenship which they lost while rendering heroic service to their c0untrys

!" Dip That Chick"

U. $. Department of Agriculture readcr.I
Dip that chick" 1t isn't done just
for the sake Of making rhyme for
dip that tick" either. Dipping chick
ems Is likely to become more general
than dipping cattle. because the chick
Ell louise is a more widely distributed
insect than the cattle tick. The dip"
consists of l ounce Of sodium fluOride
to the gallon of water. which should
be at Il temperature of 20 to s.: degrees
The dipping should be done on "A clear.
warm day-never OH cold day. The
old way Of getting rid Of chicken
lice was by busting with dry sodium
fiuoride. 1t was effective but in the
case Of large flocks it was slow and
wasteful, Il great deal Of the busting
material being inevitably lost. Expert
ments in dipping We're begun by the
United States Department Of Agricul
ture in the laboratory of the Office OF
Insects Injurious to Domestic Animals
Bureau Of Entomology, ut Dallas. Tex
AZ. The experiments proved successful
and the results promise a sure ant
speedy means of getting rid Of one %
the worst pests of poultry.
