survived the dangers and hardships OF

came, Jack, like thousands of his COM

grateful government was doing for
men who had served with the colors
and were disabled. Jack wanted to
become a linotype operator. His
wish was granted. He was taken in
hand by expert compositors and
taught one of the most useful as well
Jas one of the most remunerative of
trades. In six weeks he had mastered
the complicated Mergenthaler and is
now drawing a good salary from a
newspaper in Mississippi.
The case of Jack Gregory Of Ala
bama is not exceptional. Every SOL
der or sailor who suffered disabil-
ity due to his service for his country
lis entitled to the same opportunity
and the same advantages that will en-
able him to earn a living and look
the world squarely in the face. Many
have accepted the governments gen.
erous offer. Some Of them, in spite
of grievous handicaps, the loss of
arms and legs and even eyes, have
been taught trades or professions chat

full lives and remove any fear of de-
pendence on others.
Alter all, this is not great deal
for the government to do for its dis

Enthusiasm for Great
Bond Sale for Roads

III Re ratification of the amend
q ment for the twenty-five mil
lion-dollar bend issue for trunk high
ways is now well assured The edu-
cational campaign is under way and
enthusiasm is keyed up to a high
pitch.
The twenty five million dollars will
come from the automobile license
fund, and every automobile and auto
truck owner is eager for the amend
ment.
And as the federal government
will match the state fund dollar for
dollar. we will have fifty million dol
lars for trunk lines.
No matter how slow the people of
Alabama may be to vote for amend
ments to the constitution they will be
quick to vote for this amendment
now pending-practically a gift of
fifty million dollars.
I Many states are making strides in
good roads building. but what state
will be abreast of Alabama? In adj
;dition to the fifty million dollars to
be expended on trunk roads, millions
are being spent on county highways
The so-called good roads of the
past were flimsy ROADS. The highways
of the future will be hard-surfacs
roads and will be equal to the best
lboulevards of the cities.

Alabama will be all beautiful in it's

HINTS FOR POULTRY

Tenants and other persons desiring
temporary shelter for poultry would
do well to consider a straw shed
house. according to 7. S. Townsley of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture. Such house is very
simple to make and will serve as ex-
cellent quarters for poultry during at
least one winter. If supporting
frame Is built before thrashing time it
Is no extra trouble to blow the straw
from the thrashing machine over and
around this frame to form a shed
completely closed In with straw on all
sides excepting the south. A support
ing frame can be easily made by set
ting post for each corner of the pro-
posed shed and placing across the top
of these posts heavy poles to form the
supports for the framework of rails,
boards or light poles, which will hold
up the straw. After the straw has
been thrown over this frame front
such as Is used on any modern pGul-
try house can be built on the south
side. This front should include some
open space and some windows to pro-
vide ventilation and furnish light. The
inside of the house may be equipped
with dropping boards. roosts and
nests, just the same as any other poul-
try house. A straw shed house of this
type 20 feet square on farm near st.
Peters, No. furnished shelter for 1925
hens. These birds came through with
out frozen comb and laid all winter.
II such house becomes infested
with mites during warm weather the
birds can be allowed to roost outside
during the summer months and a new
house can be built each thrashlng
time.
