He has been in charge of the office twice, once when Postmaster Duger died in 1914, and when Postmaster Clabaugh enlisted in the navy during the war and has handl- ed affairs in good shape both times. Mr. Townsend comes of a widely con- nected family in this county and has the backing and support of many others who know him and like him. The other two aspirants are Messrs. Luther Davis and J. V. Jones, at present city clerk of the municipality. Mir. Davis is a popular young business man of the city. with many friends who back him irr his ambitions. Mir. Jones is now city clerk, and a gentleman of much popu- larity.
 The office is now under civil service, and in addition to having to stand an examination for it. the applicants will be subjected to the scrutiny and in- vestigation of agents of the civil ser vice commission who will come to the city and look into their standing, gen. eral qualifications, and ascertain the temper and wishes of the patrons of the office, and upon their report will depend the appointment, almost wholly. If there are any others who are figur- ing on going after the job they have not yet been heard of, and it is likely the next postmaster of Tuscaloosa will be from among the three men men, toned

PLEASED WITH BLooDHoUNDs

Tuscaloosa, July 30.-(Special )-Sheriff Hughes gave his new brace of fine blood hounds their first try-out in actual prac- tice since they. have been part of the staff of the sheriff's office. It was on yesterday afternoon when word came in from Shamblin's road camp of convicts that man named John Capes white, sent up for forgery, had made his es- cape. The dogs were put on the trail, which was rather a cold one, and they followed it for five miles into the Vance noad and up the road several miles. The prisoner then back-tracked for several miles, and was met by a buggy, which he climbed into as the marks were evil dent. The work of the dogs was con- sidered to be fine performance and the sheriff is delighted with the way they set tied down to their work. He is also confident that the escape was the result of a plot and Capes had outside assist ancse. Capes had some callers Sunday, and they went aside for long confab, and the escape was made next day. The sheriff is working on the case and 1t is not unlikely that the grand jury will re- turn some indictments against certain parties for aiding a prisoner to escape.

News Of Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa, July -(Special) )-The citizens of the New Lexington neigh borhood are so proud of the new Cor gas schoor' just completed there as one of the twelve agricultural schools to be established in Alabama with the vocational fund money, that they are going to celebrate on August 7th. They are going to stage an old fashioned chicken dinner and watermelon cutting afterward, and have commissioned County Superintendent of Education D.. L. Smith 10 invite twenty representa- tive citizens of Tuscaloosa to come up on that date as guests of the com munity.
 The Gorgas school is going to be one of the most complete in the state. The main building has been completed, and preparations are being made for the agricultural building, adjacent, as well as the dormitories for teachers.
 Superintendent Smith states that the next notable project he is working on is a central school at Windham Springs and bus to the small school at Pine slSW iOur nlliSS QlSldHI, HlCh IS q one teacher school. There will be dor mitory al Windham Springs where the teachers can live together; the bus will take the teacher out to Pineview, and bring back the more advanced pupils to the central school at Windham Springs; and repeat the same perform ance at the Wiley school, four miles on The other side of Windham Springs
 In the afternoon the elder scholars will be returned to their home nergh, borhood, and the teachers of the two outlying schools brought back to the central dormitory, which is to be a modern home where the loneliness and isolation, chief deterrents to obtaining teachers for remote schools, will be obviated and the four or five teachers will form a congenial family. A rally at Windham Springs August goth will inaugurate the work of putting the plan in operation and Superintendent Smith says he is sure it is going through. That part of the county has been backward on school facilities, and the Gorgas school and the pro- posed arrangement al Windham Springs will give exceptionally good schools there.

ALL SUGAR SOLD

Tuscaloosa. July -(Special)-The municipal distribution of the car of sugar obtained from government sources through enterprise of Congress- man Oliver has been an unqualified success. Before three o'clock yester- day there was not a pound of it left in the car. Mayor Robertson decided Monday afternoon that too many fifty pound bags were going out, and an nounced that the limit would be 25 pounds for $2,34 to any one individual, and at that rate and in the dollar pack ages the rest of the shipment was ab- sorbed by the people. It is estimated that another car could have been dis posed of easily if it had been available.
 The distribution has awakened in- terest in the question of other govern ment foods and stores of various sorts, and as soon as the government offers some substantial reductions of the food supply it is likely the City commission will act and an assorted car or cars of foodstuffs will be obtained.

WEATHER PROPHETS FAIL

Tuscaloosa, June 30.-tSpecial 1.-Two days without rain has served to some- what revive the spirits of farmers who were seeing their crops engulfed in sea of grass while their cotton and corn was running all to stalk. Local goose bone" weather prophets had been dole fully predicting rain until the end of the "dos days" as it rained on the first day, and the farmers were correspondingly de- pressed, after the constant and daily deuges of the past several weeks. A full week of hot, dry weather will enable them to do a great deal of work and catch up to some extent.

SuSnerS. FOfCy acres or US nOlQIngS are III the rich Desdamona field in Comanche county, which is already overhauling and will outstrip the famous Burkburnett field. On twenty acres of these holdings, nearest to big pro- duction, the company proposes to drill con it's own hook" immediately, or as soon as suf- ficient of it's capital stock is sold to warrant the expenditures. This will certainly be with in few days, as our stock is selling very rapidly. We expect to be erecting derrick in week and expect to complete well with in the next sixty to eighty days.
 OUR STOCK - Our capital stock is $780, 000.00. It is Intentionally small for sake of expediency and economy. Our holdings rep resent $60,000 paid-in capital, and the re- maning $100,000 is offered at $10 per share, fully paid and non-assessable.
 CO-OPERATION-Am most unusual and lib- eral phase of our proposition to investors is that every stockholder in this company will be entitled to pro rata ownership of all our titles, holdings and developed resources listed property of the company, as we'll as pro rata share of the profits of development. The startling fact lies in this: Since our hold ings have been listed in the present incorpo- ration several of our tracts, by virtue of pro- ducing wells brought in around us land they are popping almost every day) have increased in value. We have been offered $3,000 per acre for the very twenty acres in which we propose to drill-an increase within sixty days of 200 per cent.
 It is evident, then, that our holdings are very valuable and promise rich production. Z We solemnly believe that we can dispose of our acreage for vastly more than the entire capitalization of this company. But we wouldn't sell for ten times the amount. We could not duplicate what we have at any price and we are going to drill, develop and profit.
 LAST WORD-For the reason above de- scribed-daily increased valuation devel- opment proceeds around us, and in justice to our stockholders, who are every one our part ncrs in the oil business, we will no doubt increase the price of our stock before the en- tire issue is absorbed, if indeed, we are not justified in withdrawing further sale and per mitting present investors, who have taken the initial step with us, to acquire more of good thing. We. therefore seriously advise an early investigation of our proposition and a liberal investment with us. We are actually offering stock at much less than its present worth for the sake of immediate funds for 'o,,s~L
