Dr. Dickinson Likes Work

It seems mighty natural to see pr A. J. Dickinson on the streets of Bir- mlngham once more," said Judge L. J. Haley, but unless you know him well you will not at once recognize him in his army " uniform He seems to have greatly enjoyed his work with the boys at Camp Sheridan. Having two sons in the army and being more mature than many of the others en- gagged in similar work the boys leaned on him more and gave him their conN- dence freely.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
To Produce Extracted Honey

ITO produce honey one must have a big force of bees" said George H. Bradford, who is greatly interested in increasing bee culture in Alabama The productiveness of an apiary can= not be measured by the number of col- onies it contains. but by the number of bees in the individual colonies.
 'grhe only way to achieve the best results is to see that each colony is in good working order by the time the flow opens, and to do this it is neces- sary to examine each separately in or der to ascertain it's condition.
 Special attention must be given to any way defective should be replaced with another that is young and vigor- ous
 Tt will never do to retain a queen whose protficness is doubtful, for the colony she occupies will yield very lit- tie surplus or. in all probability, none at all. It is far better to replace such a queen, even if another has to be bought.
 ''The next important thing is >to be careful about is the strength of each colony. If honey flow begins month or six weeks ahead. and the weak colonies have young, prolific queens an effort may be made to build them up to full strength in time for it; but if the flow is near at hand, it is better to unite the weddings"

SOMETHING TO CHERISH.

Iris no time to fall dreaming
 Of the gentle, joyous spring, When a kindly sun is beaming
 And the birds begin to sing, And the early blossoms peeplng
 From their hoary winter bed, Whisper to the breezes sweeping
 From the southland. warmly sped But we know the day is coming
 When the hills and valleys green, And the busy insects humm1ng
 And the rivers lovely sheen Will succeed to blizzards blowing
 And old winters hard regime. Call it foolish, but we're going
 To win comfort from that dream

We could stand this kind of weather And the clouds that dark1y roll, Bringing rain and snow together

 As the treachrous, slipp'ry pave And the motor car that spatters
 Mud upon us till we rave And as mad as seven matters,

The convention stands behind Howard college at East Lake, the Judson at Ma ,rion, and the Newton Collegiate institute. preparatory school located in south Alabama. One of the vital questions to be tackled by the convention at this sit ting will be to try to map out worthy programme for it's educational enter prises and the raising of substan- tial endowment to put them on sound financial basis. The Baptists education.

l suppose it can be said without contra diction that 95 per cent of the Baptists of Alabama are in sympathy with the work of the state convention and report through it and adopt its programme, though the ''Hardshells,' of course, work through their own associa tions and do not cooperate with the Missionary Ba D. lists; but there is saying among the latter that there are many "Hardshells' whose names are enrolled on the church roster of the Missionaries.

There are few sections of Alabama in which Baptlsts do not affiliate with the Alabama Baptist state convention, and those not doing so are called Cos pei Missioners" that is, they, do not be- lieve in boards, but prefer to send their mission gifts direct from the local church to the missionaries on the field, but in point of numbers they are a negligible quantity in the state.

place having a population, as shown
by the latest available federal census. of
$500 or more, except that portion of any
such street or poad along which the

Government Limit Raised.
The new act also raises the govern.
ment limit of contribution from not to
exceed $4,000 a mile to not to exceed
$4,000 a mile taking account of higher
present costs of labor and materials.
The law also authorizes the secretary
of war to transfer to the secretary of
agriculture material, equipment and sup
plies suitable for highway improvement
and not needed by the war department.
Of the $209,0OO000 added to the funds
available under the federal aid road act.
the new law makes 100000 available
for expenditure by the secretary of agri-
culture for roads and trails within or
partly within the national forests. II
also provides other measures which are
expected to give great impetus to the
development of the road systems in the
national forests.
The original federal aid road act, which
became law in July, 1916, appropriated
S75,OO0,000 to aid in the construction
of post roads during a fve-year period
ending June 30, 1921, and $4,000 600 to
aid in forest-road building during a 10
year period ending June 80, 1926. Not
over 100000 of the original $50, 900 900
had been expended prior to 1919. so that
S82,OO00OO plus $209,000,0OO, or a total
of 1921 100000 of federal funds. viii be
available, of which $685., 100000 will be
available during the next three years.
The act and its amendment require the
states to provideat least an equal amount
on the post-road work, and it is custom
airy for the state and localities to con-
tribute toward the forest road work.

ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM
ENABLED BY NEW Law
Amount of Money Available for Federal
Aid Highway Building Is Largest
Ever Set Aside by ANY Ma
ton in the World.

With full state cooperation, according
to the terms of the federal aid road act,
the United States will have a total of
at least S574,000000 for cooperative
road building during the next three
years, The federal part of this fund is
assured by an extra appropriation of
5000 100000 in the postofiice appropria-
ton bill just passed by Congress and
signed by the president,
Officials of the bureau of public roads,
U. S, department of agriculture, which
administers the provisions of the federal
aid road act and co-operates with the
state governments in the expenditure of
the money, point out that this amount
of funds is the largest ever appropriated
for similar purposes and for a similar
period by any government in the history
of the world, and that it enables the fed
eral and state governments to carry out
bodybuilding program OF a magnitude
never equalled.
In connection with the great federal
aid program it is also noted that ex-
penditures for highway work in the
United States this year are likely to
amount to half billion dollars or more.
On reports received from the state high
way departments, the bureau of public
roads estimates the 1919 expenditures
for roads and bridges at 1885, 100000, or
$ll0,0O0,000 more than the average ex-
penditures for 1916 and 1917.
Road Definition Broadened.
An important effect of the law con-
tanning the new appropriation is that it
broadens the definition of a rural post
road, under which class a highway had
to qualify in order to receive the bene-
fits of the federal aid act.
Under the old act it was required that
mail should actually be carried on the
road or that there should be a reason
able prospect that mail would be carried
on it within short time after improve
ment. The new act says: the
term rural post roads " shall be
construed to mean any public road, a
major portion of which is now used or
can be used, or forms connecting link
