FARM A SOLUTION OF
 HIGH LIVING COST
Sylacauga Man Urges Importance Of
 Federal Aid for Roads

B E. Samuels of Sylacauga who was farm examiner for the department of labor during the war, and who visit ed Birmingham frequently. was in the city yesterday. He is keenly interested in farm conditions and possibilities in Alabama. He will make his future home in Sylacauga and will devote much of his time to farm matters.
 Before going in the service of the government during the war, I was practicing law in Sylacauga. and now I am going back in business for my self, 1 find no better town in the state, and I have been all over Alabama in my work for the department of labor as farm examiner and other work during the past year" said MT. Sam els. "One of the largest sawmills in the state is located there. the large cotton mills, and others building, and fine agricultural land around.
 The farm work has so possessed uy thought that now while so many people are desirous of getting away from the high rents, and the heart rendering cost or living in cities, I am going to operate a real estate bureau for the purpose of bringing the man wanting farm in touch with the owner wanting to sell, because we have wonderful opportunities for pro- gress in Alabama, and 1 want to make this realty bureau serve the whole state, as well as reach those in the north and west desirous of securing the cheap lands iii this state. It is to be hoped the legislature will pass the highway bill in such shape that Ala bania can get the states share of fed eral aid, and nothing holds the state back worse than not having fine roads"

LACK OF FRESH AIR CAUSES NEAR STRIKE FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Accommodation at Federal Building for Grand Jury and Witnesses Are Very Undesirable, Is Stated

A threatened strike of the federal grand jury was averted yesterday by the installation of electric fans in the attic room where the jury is now hold ing it's sessions. When the United States district court convened in the court room Monday the grand jury was moved to a room in the attic, as this was the only available space in the building. There was but little ventilation in the room, and F. Y. Anderson. Jr, foreman of the jury, and the other jurors complained of the lack of fresh air a short time after they started their investigations.
 The intense heat yesterday brought the situation to a climax when the jury threatened to quit work if fans were not provided immediately. Ralph Quinn, as sistant United States district attorney who is assisting the grand jury, imme- diately called in electricians and fans were installed and the jurors continued their work.
 The hall of the fourth floor is very dark and the witnesses summoned to ap- pear before the grand jury are forced to sit on empty whisky cases, as no chairs are provided on this floor.

and Navigation company said that last February the fuel administration re- commended and President Wilson ap- proved an increase of fifty cents a ton for anthracite coal to meet the in- creased production costs. But owing to the small public demand and to en- courage purchases during the summer, the increase was not made then and instead an increase of ten cents a ton beginning April l was added to the price of coal each month until Septem- Der l, which amounted only to the increases of fifty cents recommended by the fuel administration.
 Independent operators. however, on September l, MT Dearoy, added.s in creased their prices s1.25 a ton, 75 cents above the price charged by the anthracite railroad companies. He de- clared this increase was made on the theory advanced by the fuel administra- ton that because their production costs were higher they were warranted in charging more.
