DECEMBER "HUB"

The December edition of the Hub. >"
the Bessemer high school paper, was dis
tributed Saturday and was pronounced
the best effort of the editorial staff. The
paper contains a review of the football
season. and also a prospectus of the
basketball team for the season. An ar
ticle on 1.-The Growth of Bessemer" is in
teresting and makes plea for the voters
to support the $4,000 bond issue for the
new high school,"
One page is devoted to the activities of
the literary societies. which shows the
progress in athletics and literary achieve
ment made by these organizations. Sew
eral of the societies will have year books
for the next term An editorial on Stu
dent Self Government advises the adop-
ton of this plan in the Bessemer high
school. and it is known that it is ap-
bproved by Prof. c. C. Moseley principal
and will likely be adopted soon in the
school.
An editorial also advises the formation
of Better Speech League and advises
a drive for better speech. The writer
states: mo one thing reflects such credit
or discredit upon the school from which
Cur boys play football for the honor OF
their school and then go out and use
English that will discredit their school
more than a lost game possibly could
The girls, especially, as they take their
places in the social and business world
may be great credit to their alma mater
by remembering always to use correct
expressions"
The paper compares favorably with
that of larger and older institutions and
is a credit to the school,

NEWS OF BE SSEME


Bessemer, December 20.-(Special)-
With only three more shopping days I'M
til Christmas. and with pay days at sew
erai plants in the district, Bessemer mer-
chants enjoyed a large patronage Satur-
day. The streets and shops were crowded
throughout the afternoon and evening
with people intent on making Christmas
purchases, and the merchants of the city
enjoyed the largest trade they have ex-
perienced in year. Many additional
clerks have been employed at the stores
and the business men are expected the
best trade in years for the three re-
naming shopping days.
By permission or the city council, which
was granted at a recent meeting, stands
for fruits, toys and fireworks have been
placed on the sidewalks in front of the
shops, the first appearing Saturday. AL
though prices are higher than ever be-
FORE it is safe to assert that Santa Claus
pack will be well filled when he makes
his annual visit to the Bessemer district.
While presents are being distributed
generally to those who are so fortunate
as to be blessed with relatives and
friends with means to bestow gifts, those
less fortunate will not be forgotten. The
United Charities, as always, will remem-
Der the needy, and will send out many
baskets for families not able to buy the
good things of the Christmas season.
The Red Cross home service, through
their chairman, George Stevenson, will
distribute a large box of toys and eat
ables to the children of the city who are
in need. Many individuals are selecting
some child for whom they will play
Santa Claus, who could otherwise not re-
ceive a visit from him. A group of young
ladies, whose incomes are their OWL
earnings, are planning to play this par
ticular role, and the group is increasing
every day.
Our contributions have never been
better" said Captain Walker of the Sal
walton Army, land we will have our
Christmas tree December 81, on New
Years eve''

ELKs, CHRISTMAS GIFT

Following their usual custom, the
Fnsley Elks will remember the poor
and needy on Christmas day with q
generous donation of groceries and

Christmas cheer to those less fortunate
than themselves.
The committee in charge, with w T
Palmer chairman. have made all the
necessary arrangements for the distri-
button of the gifts, which will be sub
stantial and ample.
The club will give special dances on
Christmas and New Years eve and all
night affairs have been arranged. The
dance hall will be decorated in keep
ing with the season, and prizes will be
awarded during the dances.

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION

City Attorney George Bumgardner
has advised the board of education that
it will not be necessary to have the
ordinance calling for the issuance of
100000 in school bonds passed again
by the city council on account of the
failure to have the ordinance pub
lished for three consecutive weeks, and
the election will take place as planned
on January 6. There remains sufficient
time for the publication of the ordi-
nance to comply with the state law, and
the election may take place on the date
named in the last passage of the or
dinance.
The election has been delayed about
six weeks on account of the failure
to have the ordinance published for
three consecutive weeks, and supper
ters of the bond issue will be pleased
to learn that another postponement will
not be necessary.
The proceeds of the sale of bonds
will be used in erecting and equipping
new high school building, which will
be located at Second avenue and Fiji
teenth street.
