He promises to secure appro- priations for Albany in the next Con gross. His statement follows:
 "The construction of the postoffice building at Decatur as proposed will in no way cause a consolidation of the two postoffices, as is shown by the fol- lowing letter which have just received from the first assistant Postmaster General:
 Referring to your personal call at the department and your inquiry rela- tive to the postoffices at Albany and De- catur wish to advise that it will not be the policy of the department to con slider the consolidation of these post offices or the discontinuance of either of them unless the two towns are con so1idated.

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, February F. Especially Many cases are being continued in the February term of court which convened here Monday because of the absence Of witnesses who are being reported ill with influenza. The disease appears to be still very prevalent in the remote pre- cincts of the county Continuation of so many cases may clean up the docket set for this week very early in the week. The damage suits of J. D. Humphreys vs. The Times, J. F., Pierce and ex- Mayor Terry have been continued to the next term.
 Clarendon Davis. president of the Huntsville Bank x Trust company, has been made foreman of the grand jury which began it's labors Monday fore noon The grand jruy has only few cases to investigate and will finish by Thursday, it is believed.
 Confronted with the alternative of col lecting fees from all the pupils or re- ducing the public school term to seven months in the city of Huntsville, the city board of education recently decided to collect fees and let the term remain at nine months. Practically all of the pupils have paid their fees but there has been considerable discussion of the act of the board. Secretary Johnson of the board has replied that there was no other alternative because of the increased cost of operating the schools. The fee per pu- pil in the high school is $10 year.
 One hundred dollars is the price ot being drunk and disorderly in Hunts vile now. City Recorder Earl Ford is assessing that amount against the tipsy offenders who are brought before him and proven guilty.

DR. TEACH SEES
 DANGER TO WORK

Washington, February 12.-(SpecialD In the pending agricultural bill pr. c. C. Thach, president of the Alabama Io,ytechnic l institute at Auburn, secs great danger to home and farm exten- sion work in Alabama.
 In telegrams to members of the Ala bama delegation pr. Thach states the House made such reduc:ioa under Sec retary Houston's recommendation as would reduce the departments allow ance fo1 Alabama to S105,000 belcw emergency funds available for the current year. This would force the dropping of demonstration agents in many Alabama counties.
 .'Still greater hardship for Alabama, concludes Dr. Thach, consists in plac- ing this item under the conditions of the Smith-Lever fund. namely, match ing dollar for dollar"
 He urges that the Senate follow the recommendation of Secretary Houston, which does not require full matching on the part of states. Ala bamians promise to do what they can to remedy the defects, as Dr. Thach sees them.

Vienna Bankers Fear
 a Financial Panic
By Associated Press

Vienna, Tuesday, February 11.-Bankers here fear a financial panic throughout the former empire because of recent efforts of the new republics to discard the old paper kronen of the empire by re- storing them so that in effect they become new money
 The question has an international phase since much of the old money is held in the Ukraine, the Russian pro- vinces, Galicia, Poland and in French, English and Swiss banks. If the money held abroad is not stamped, it has no circulating value in any of the new re- publics.

YOU'VE GOT THE FLU

When your back is broke and your eyes are blurred, And your shinbones knock and your tongue is furred, And your tonsils squeak and your hair is dry, And you're doggone sure you are going to die; But you're skeered you won't and afraid you will, Just drag to bed and have your chill, And pray the Lord to see you through, For you've got the flu, boy; you've got the flu. When your toes curl up and your belt goes flat, And you're twice as mean as a Thomas cat, And life is long and dismal curse, And your food all tastes like a hard boiled hearse; When your lattice aches and your heads a-buzz, And nothing is as it ever was, Here are my sad regrets to you You've got the flu, boy; you've got the flu!
 What is it like, this Spanish flu? Ask me, brother, for Ive been through; It is by misery, out of dispair; It pulls your teeth and curls your hair; It thins your blood and breaks your bones, And fills your craw with moans and groans, And sometimes, maybe, you get we'll; Some call it flu call it hell! We've had ours-HAVE YOU?

DREW PICTURE OF CHRIST;
 PRISONER GIVEN PAROLE

SAN BERNADINO, Cal.-When Ramon Garcia, one armed Mexican robber drew a picture of Christ on the cross on the walls of the county jail here, he started the machinery which ultimately brought his release from San Quentin prison to which he was sentenced.
 Since March, 1917, when Garcia first sketched the likeness, hundreds of prisoners have stood before it in reverence, according to the jail ors. The fame of the picture spread and caused five judges of the state supreme court and the board of pardons to join with Judges H. T. Dewhirst and J. w. Curtis and District Attorney T. w, Duckworth in urging a pardon for Garcia.
 As the result of the concerted appeal for clemency for the inn prisoned man, Governor William D. Stephens, two days before Christmas, communted Garcia's sentence.

but served only one term. During his term of office he advocated the abolition of slavery. When the Re- publican party was fully organized throughout the country, he became it's leader in Illinois, and in 1858 he was chosen by his party to oppose Stephen A. Douglas, for the senate, and challenged him to a debate. The challenge was accepted and the de- bate attracted widespread attention. The legislature, however, was favor able to Douglas, and he was elected to the senate. In 1860 the Re- publicans nominated Lincoln for the presidency and he was elected on November 6. Four years later he was reelected, receiving PIP elect oral votes General McClennan, the opposition candidate, received only 21 votes.
 The shooting of President Lincoln occurred on April IA, 1865, at Ford's theater, Washington, D. C., death occurring the following day He was buried at Oak Ridge, near Springfield, H.

ROAD BUILDING WILL HELP

The big question under consider ation at the present time by the various states and the federal gov ernment is how to take care of the fighting men of the United States army, now that their job of licking the kaiser has been successfully accomplished. The sudden termin- ation of the war has found the country somewhat unprepared for the flood of labor of all kinds which demobilization threatens.
 In searching about for a solu- tion of the readjustment problem, a number of the states have hit upon the plan of large-scale road building as means of absorbing surplus soldier-labor. The roads are needed and the time required to build them will give the country a chance to get back to a normal basis.
 It is doubtful, however, if there is state in the union in which soldiers can be employed to better advantage than here in Alaska. Roads represent the territory's greatest need at the present time, but the funds available are not sufficient to do more than the usual amount of work. Under the existing restrictions, road work in Alaska consists chiefly of repairs to roads already constructed.
 Sometimes the funds permit of the extension of trail, where the need is great, and occasionally a few miles of new wagon road are constructed during the summer. Last year the new construction was limited to forty miles-hardly enough, as Alaska's needs and dis tances are measured, to deserve mention.
 The appropriation of substan- tial amount by the federal govern ment, and the coordination of road building activities under one di- recting head, would make develop ment possible in a number of prom ising mining districts which are now practically inaccessible; and employment would be provided for large number of Uncle Sam's sol- diers. This employment must be provided somewhere, somehow, and the need of road construction on comprehensive scale is greater, probably in Alaska, than in any other part of the United States. The Anchorage district needs roads, the Nenana district needs roads, the Ruby district needs roads, the Koyukuk district, in which no money at all has been spent by the
