NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING

The question of submitting a
call for an election to get the
use of the property holders OF
Sixth Ward in the levying OF
small school tax would have
come up before the Parish School
Board last Tuesday had it not
been that pressing business caused
the lack of a quorum. Superln-
tendent lilly has sent out notices
inviting the members to be pres
ent at a meeting next Tuesday
when it is the intention, in con-
aection with other important
questions confronting the Parish
School Board to take up the prop
osition of building in New liberia
a central high school that will not
only be a credit to the City, but
to the Parish and State as well.
From what we are able to dis
.cern from member of the Board
the idea is to vote a tax covering
a period Of twenty years, suftl-
GENTLY large to create a fund Of
$500 per annum with which 20
meet a bonded Indebtedness.
This tax in reality will only be q
continuation of the present special
school tax of two mills which ex-
pires as soon as the 1918 taxes are
collected. It is proposed to in
vestigate the advisability of pur-
chasing all of the property in the
square on which the present an
tiquated school building stands
and erect thereon in the center OF
the square one Of the best high
school buildings in the State, out
4ide of Shreveport and New Or
cans.
New iberia has long since
,eeded a central high school TOT
the accommodation of the children
of the Sixth Ward and the Parish,
and we feel assured the memDerl
NJ the School Board will mee'
With hearty and spontaneous en-
.courasement on the part OF the
people generally. There win be No
additional school taxes to pay
simply an extenuation Of the twe
Mill tax which was SO generously
voted by the property holders
some years ago in order to main
tain the schools IN the Ward.

ham merckants use the seals at least one day next week on all the packages sent out is now being formulated and committee of prominent Birmingham women, headed by Mrs. Louis Pizitz, is prevailing on the various shop owners for this support. Many have already consented to use the stamps in this manner, and it is expected that as a result of the canvass practically all Of them will agree to it.
 Many replies are also coming in from the mail canvass recently completed by the association and in practically all instances the letters contain checks for the 200 stamps previously mailed.
 The state drive is also showing to advantages with the exception of the flood-ridden counties of central and south Alabama, but the disposal of the stamps is rapidly being accomplished in the majority of the counties.
 Unless Birmingham reaches her quota before Christmas, the drive will be continued until it has been achieved, it was announced by pr. Eaves. seere- tary of the state association.

of the people We would today be fac ing a great modified position in the coal situation if there had been active end energetic work concentrated upon tke utilization of our vast waterpowers. That work should have been immedi- ately begun after the initial demonstra- ton of successful hydroelectric devel- opment at Niagara Falls 24 years ago,
 These remarks stimulated those who were present at this gathering so that immediate steps will be taken for the formation of an association to urge the development of the waterpowers of the United States as rapidly as pos sible. This movement will be of espe cial interest to the publishers of Amer ican newspapers, who are now greatly embarrassed by reason of shortage of paper. If there be immediate begin ming of utilization of our waterpowers, the day will speedily come when the newspaper publishers of the United States will be no longer embarrassed by the shortage of paper

 In Birmingham it is proposed to bring the Morris Plan bank under the opera ton of state laws. G. NJ. Dewberry and several others propose to organize a bank which will handle savings deposits only. Other towns seeking new banks are: Garland. Butler county. several cit izens interested; Trinity. Morgan county, H. T. Lyle and others; Catchie. Cal houn county, H.

MERIDIAN, MISS.

Meridian, Miss. December 17.-(Special.) Mt. Barton Queen City lodge, No. IS, Knights of Pythias, of Meridian. is en- gaged in raising a fund by public sub- scription in order to play Santa Claus to the poor children of the city who might otherwise be deprived of such a visitation in Christmas. The fund is be-
 ing liberally supported and it is believed a sufficient sum will be realized to make glad the hearts of large number of children.
 All the schools and colleges of Merid- ian and the county will suspend Friday for one week on account of the Christmas holidays.
 According to the board of superviseRs. after a careful investigation of the con- ditton of good roads, culverts, bridges and other county property as result of the disastrous flood of last week, the damage will reach something like $S0O.0OO Steps are already being taken to begin the work of repairs. A number of the larg- est and best steel bridges in the county were materially damaged. and many miles of surfaced roadways were badly washed while smaller wooden bridges were either completely destroyed or so badly dam aged that they will have to be practically rebuilt, and to do this at the present scost of labor and material the above estimate
 is considered very conservative.
 At meeting of the directors and the chairmen of 10 standing committees of the Board of Trade and Cotton exchange, held tonight, steps were taken for the adoption of a programme of activities that will continue throughout the coming year of 1920. Each chairman was in- structed to prepare a report of what his particular committee could attempt to ac- complsh. These various reports are to be submitted to the organization member ship at luncheon to be held the first week in January. when fixed programme will be arranged and the budget for the year adopted accordingly.
 The body of Mrs. Rose Lewis, wife of w. S Lewis of Sacramento Cal, who died at a local hospital yesterday, were shipped today to Sacramento. The hus- band, one daughter. Mrs. T. P.

of lead in the stomach and such dis tresses make one ponder as to the ad- visibility of starving But that is a ! wrong method. A better and safer plan is to be regular at meals, eat what is l, served or what is tastiest, and follow
 the meal with a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet, It is a bad practice for most people to go against nature by de- priving the system of what it must
 have-food to keep going. Once you learn how you may eat without stint
 or fear by using Stuart's Dyspepsia 1 Tablets, there is little likelihood of your

Montgomery, December 17.-(Special) ] Montgomery will obtain power for the operation of its plants and electricity for lighting from the transmission lines of the Alabama Power company as soon as a force of linemen working night and day can connect with the latter company S lines at Vida This announcement was made by the chief engineer of the Mont gomery Light and Water Power company to day following his arrival from New York.
 rhs enginer said he believed the con nection could be made quicker than the rebuilding of the dam at Tahassee Falls. which was destroyed by the flood last week. However. the dam will be rebuilt as soon as possible. The Montgomery company closed contract three weeks ago for current from the Alabama Power company, and this connection would have been made had there been no flood.
 Montgomery has returned to normal All public utilities are In operation and prac- tically all restrictions on the use of cleo tricity were removed by the city commis- sion today More than $l2,000 has been raised for flood sufferers. and the com mittee believes it will be able to close it's accounts this week.

HOLD COTTON. ADVICE

Montgomery, December 17-(Special) Reports from various sections of Alabama that cotton buyers were declining to pur- chase cotton at present spot prices caused the Alabama division of the American Cotton association today to ap- peal to the farmers to refuse to offer their cotton for sale until spot buyers were willing to give the proper price for it. Cotton will be high and scarce next spring." said the appeal. Keep little for distribution when it is badly wanted and don't sell when, the purchaser is indifferent. It is the only way to main tain values at 8 profit. Watch your step.
