 The exact amount of bonds taken in Birmingham and Jefferson county has not been ascertained. The auditing committee is working hard to tabulate the returns, but they are unable to keep up with the workers. It is be- lieved that considerably more than $40oO,00 of bonds have been sub scribed for. but still a long distance must be covered before the quota is reached

may be continued until the end of the week.
 Reports from inc other counties in the Birmingham zone are slow coming in, but Zone Chairman R. A. Porter and Field Representative Earl Lay attribute this to the fact that the work CTS are too busy to send in reports. They believe that every county in the zone will raise it's quota, and some of them will exceed it. Three counties went over the first day or two of the campaign, but they did not quit work then; they kept on and 1t is believed they will report handsome oversub- scriptions.
 Several large subscriptions were re- ported yesterday, among them the foi- lowing.

For the Good of
 The Community

UTO gather the streams from waste and to
 draw from them energy, labor without brains. and so to save mankind from toll that it can be spared is to supply what next to intellect, is the very foundation of all our achievements and all our welfare" e"-Associate Justice Holmes of the United States supreme court
 The above is part of the opinion written by MT. Justice Holmes in deciding case before the United States supreme court sometime ago. The pending litigation grew out of controversy over water rights.
 Alabama, it has been frequently said, has greater potential water power than any other state in the nation. The great Muscle Shoals de- velopment, when completed, will have capacity of 680,000 horsepower, more than the present de- veloped power at Niagara Falls Other rivers and smaller streams in the state capable of developing several hundred thousand horse power.
 The Alabama Power company is now general ing over 100000 horsepower at lock 12 on the Coosa river, 50 miles south of Birmingham, and at Jackson Shoals on the Choccolocco creek, / about 45 miles east of Birmingham
 For several years an electric power station has been in operation on the Tallapoosa river, near Tallassee.
 It is said the Warrior river and several other streams in the state are susceptible of being de- veloped along this line.
 Discussing water power development in Ala bama the Alabama Power company, in publica- tion recently issued, said:
 'From the standpoint of conserving the natural resources of the state, the development and utili zaton of its latent water powers has long been a subject of discussion in it's economic affairs. The general plan of water development involves the impounding of flood waters where possible with which to aid both power and navigation during low water periods"
 The Alabama Conservation commission, in a report submitted in December, 1908, pointed out:
 ''That it would require according to standard tables, II, 900 tons of coal per annum to pro- duce by steam the power of these streams in their practical conserved state. Alabama is producing today about 16,000,00O tons of coal per annum for every purpose. Thus it will be seen that twill take about 80 per cent of She entire production of coal in Alabama at this time to produce by steam the power of these streams that is now going to waste.
 Suppose for moment that the coal fields of Alabama were sliding down an incline and pour ing over precipice into fathomless depth of space at the rate of II ,2O1 O0O tons of coal per annum how long would it take the people of the United States to stop the destruction of such God given resources? What else are we doing when we sit idly by and let the water of these streams 20 to waste over a precipice?"
 The cheap hydro-electric power is an induce ment to the location of industrial plants It does not require long stretch of imagination to be- leve that, following the completion of the Muscle Shoals power plant, will come scores of industries with their thousands of employees and large pay rolls.

Burberry Hunted
With Automobiles.

The common barberry can prove no
alibi as defense against the charge
Of having spread rust Of grain which
has cost the farmers Of Minnesota so
much this year. Scouts under the gem
eral direction Of DR.. E. c. Stakman,
plant disease specialist at Minnesota
experiment. station, securing the coun-
try in automobiles, have already found
more than 10000 bushes that have been
planted or that are growing wild in pas
lures or wood lots. These paintings
or wild growths are nearly always
found to be the centers of infection for
surrounding grain fields. The fact,
therefore, that the rust exists this year
is easily accounted for. The destruction
of many plants last year was not gen
eral enough to prevent the spread of the
rust under conditions which favored it's
early: development on the barberry
plants last spring; Rural paintings and
wild growths must be eradicated if Min
nesota is to continue to grow wheat
with success.

Chiggers Bad This Year;
How to Fight Them,

"Chiggers,' or harvest mites, pests
so minute that they are not often seen,
whose attacks cause intense itching and
a rah often supposed to be hives or net
tie rash are bad this year, reports DR..
w. A. Riley Of the Minnesota College Of
Agriculture. On the second or third
day the mite-infected area is surround
ed by characteristic minute water
blister. On persons with delicate skin
the mites cause intensely severe irrita-
ton, and these are also dangerous that
the scratching Mduced may cause Sec
ondarv infection. Relief is best secur-
ed by bathing in warm salt water with
in a few hours after exposure. Cooling
lotions, mentholatum, and carbolated
vaseline will afford some relief. Flow
ers Of sulphur should be busted into
the stockings and underwear before IN
vading the haunts of the pests.

Eggs to be High;
Preserve Them Now.

Because Indications point to high
priced eggs during the coming winter,
n. E. Chapman, poultry specialist Of
the extension division at University
Farm, advises housewives to preserve
eggs in water glass now. He says that
at this time hens are in the second
cycle Of laying for the season and that
eggs laid now are of the best quality
because the hens are on grain diet
in part. The main thing to watch out
for is to get fresh, clean eggs. Water
glass may be had in cans from drug
gists.
