With the enthusiasm developed
 at a meeting of the zone and county
 chairmen of north Alabama at the
 meeting held at the Tutwiler ycs-
 terday there can be no doubt of
 the success of the Victory Liberty
 Loan drive that begins on April 21.
 Approximately 50 chairmen and as- sociates from the 30-odd counties in the northern part of the state were in at tendance. and while they admitted that the patriotic motive that helped put the other four loans over is absent at this time, all expressed confident be- lief that when the campaign closes May 10 the counties represented at this meeting will be well over the quotas assigned them.
 The meeting had been called by Haynes McFadden, executive chairman of the Sixth federal reserve district, for the purpose of meeting with the heads of, the zone and county organi zations and advising with them as to in the forthcoming campaign In call ing the meeting to order MT. McFadden said the country had passed through four loans, each time exceeding the allotment, and now that it is entering the fifth there must be no thought of failure; that failure to float the en- tire amount of the bond issue would means the loss of prestige and take away the glory of past accomplish mentS.

SOME PLANS DISCUSSED

or the SlXth federal reserve dlStrlct, eN- plained the plans that had been worked out for the Victory Liberty Loan cam paign. It Is based on the individual quota system, which has proved eff ficient in several districts. Under this plan every person in each county, or smaller unit, would be listed in card index, with his income or wealth. and the amount he should subscribe stated. The lowest income listed, he said, is $500, which is given quota based on per cent. As the income increases the percentage is increased until $10,000 is reached, when it should be 50 per cent
 s. J. Griffin of Cullman, who has been county chairman of the other cam paigns there, stated that they had used the individual quota system in his coun- ty and that it worked perfectly, every precinct being given certain amount to raise, and not one of them falling down, he said. In the fourth campaign Cullman county had raised her quota by 9:30 o'clock on the morning of the opening day.
 A. G. Storey. vice chairman of Tal- ladega, stated that a similar system had been used in Talladega county with success, and that it would be followed in the fifth loan.
 Jack Cranford of Jasper told a few HulDOTOuS StOTItS dS d DTcluuC lO d req ly patriotic speech, in which he said Walker county would do her part, all thought it might be harder work than in other campaigns. When your house

VILLAS. BANDITS
BURN CHINESE
At THE STAKE
(By Associated Press)


JUAREZ, Mex, Aug. 2S.-A lodge
pin and grip saved the life of Chin
ese merchant of Parral when Fran
cisco Villas troops captured Parral
some months ago, according to sworn
statement made by the merchant to
the American consul here upon his ar
rival from the interior recently.
The Chinese merchant, refused to
permit his name to be attached to the
statement for fear he would be killed
if he fell into Villas hands. He swore
that he saw three of his cousins drag
ged through the street of Parral by
rebels and burned at the stake.
A demand for $4,000 was made upon
him upon threat of death, the mer-
chant said. He told the Villa colonel
he did not have this amount and was
about to be ordered shot, he said,
when he noticed a lodge pin on the
lapel of the colonels coat. The mer-
chant said he belonged to the Chinese
organization which was similar to the
one which the officer belonged to and
they exchanged handshakes. The ran
som was reduced to $4,000 and he was
finally permitted to go.

it carries moral: "Life is just what
you make it."
Staged under the careful direction

story, with a stirring climax that
brings the hero sharply to the front
Mystery, adventure and romance are
the, strong elements in the theme and
the setting varies from New York's

HIS METHOD
OF FINANCING
(By Associated Press)

Ell PASO, Tex, Aug. 28.-Francis-
co Villa has obtained his ammunition
for equipping his men for his bandit
raids by smuggling across the United
States border or by capture of Car
ranza troops. 1t is believed that in
the past, millions of rounds of ammu-
milton have been smuggled into Mex
leo for Villa from Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona. Small fortunes are said
to have been gained by the smugglers
The United States has stopped the
smuggling by wholesale, by compelling
ammunition dealers to obtain permits
from the Army Intelligence Depart
ment and by requiring them to make
reports of sales showing who re-
ceives the ammunition and the use to
which it is to be put.
Nevertheless, it is claimed, small
quantities Of ammunition still are be-
ing smuggled over the border.
Villa often boasted that he obtain
ed large part of his ammunition and
many rifles from Carranza troops. He
captured 10000 rounds of ammunition
intended for Carranza at Parral last
SPRING Prior to Villas last attack on
Juarez a few weeks ago, a Carranza
customs official was discovered de-
livering ammunition to Villas spies
in JuareZ.
Villa fiances his revolutionary
movement by compelling foreign
mining and cattle companies to make
"forced" loans in return for protec-
tion and by seizing and selling cattle,
silver and other property. Instances
in which he has forced loans have
been reported within a few months.
When Villa was encamped near Juarez
he carried a travelling bag filled with
American gold and currency obtained
from companies in northern Mexico
1t is known that he has captured
some of the horses sold by the United
States army remount depot at Fort
Bliss to the Carranza government.

"a pair Of bad legs made Walter

"but the bad legs weren't on Maran-

Road Work Is Nationwide
Concrete Construction Is Well Under Way; No Wait tor
Lower Prices
Full speed ahead!


This is the slogan that is putting the pep in highway constructions
all over the country. Especially is this true of concrete construction.
A survey of recent concrete highway lettings discloses a marked ten
dency toward full speed ahead in road work. While the tendency was
not SO apparent a short time ago it is no more than might be expected.
and bears out the repeated assertion of those qualified to speak from a
definite knowledge of material costs that waiting for a drop in prices
would result only in a waste of time and a shortening of the construction
season, to the great disadvantage of the public at large.
Contractors who have permitted themselves to be affected by this
policy of delay and who have az a result Jagged in organizing their equip
ment and labor forces for the seasons work will be surprised to learn
the extent to which concrete road work is contracted for OF already
under way.
Awards have been made for concrete roads in the District of Column
ba, Connecticut, West Virginia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New jersey, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, South Carolina, Virginia and other states.
The scope of territory reporting contracts shows that the resump-
ton of highway work is not confined to any particular terrnoy-hence
based upon purely local conditions and necesshies-but is, in fact, nation
wide. The total yardage to date for the first three months Of the year
1919 was approximately 3~,5OOOOO, more than three times the amount
of yardage laid during the entire twelve months of 1909, when concrete
road construction first began to get under way.
Also of great significance to the highway contractor is the fact that
the movement for permanent hard-surfaced trunk-line highways through
out the United States is an impewonal one. That is to say, it is a move!
nent that has back of it primarily an economic force seeking an outlet
to market that will not place such a heavy drain upon the product in
transit as to lessen the net profits to the producer and increase the cost
to the consumer by reason of excessive and altogether unnecessary haul
ing costs in reaching that market.

0verdoses of Sugar Cause
of Throat Disturbances Is
Statement of Medical Man

Singers frequently complain Of ca
tarrh and nearly always blame the
American climate for their trouble.
Do the singers. however, sufficiently
consider the food they eat? We have
been Informed by a medical expert,
whom we respect as an authority, that
most Of the throat disturbances in the
United States are caused by overdoses
of sugar. He says he has proved his
statement On a number Of vOcalistS of
various temperaments and physical
characteristics by inducing them to
eat excessively Of sugar and sweet diet
late in the evening and then to OBJ
serve most carefully the condition Of
their throats and tongues in the morn
ing. After he had brought on ca
tarrhal troubles through the abuse Of
sugar he invariably restored the vocal
chords to their normal condition by
putting his patients on a salt diet and
prohibiting the sugar diet.
We are but quoting q doctors con-
versation and we do not for a moment
pose as medical experts ourselves.
We believe, however, that the doc
tors advice should at least receive
careful Observation-Disclosures.

ROOM IN THE
POULTRY HOUSE

The majority of growers put ZOO
many fowls together in one poultry
house. A house ten feet square should
not contain over a dozen large fowls
and Is small ones. For 100 hens q
house 16 by 60 and divided into two
or three apartments will answer.
IL two apartments are used there will
be 90 in a flock, the space being 60 by
30 feet for so fowls. An excellent
plan is a house 16 by 80 feet, divided
into two compartments, 16 by Is feet
each, with % hens in each compart-
ment. The space gives ample room
for scratching under shelter in winter.
An extra shed for scratching will also
be appreciated by the hens. 1t can be
built at a small cost and will afford
ample room. In summer the fowls
can roost under the sheds.
The yards should be about ten times
the space Of the houses, but the larger
the better, and the deeper the houses
and sheds, that is, depth to the rear,
on the ~ground-the more comfortable
the fowls. Each house can have a
double yard, so as to change the fowls
from n yard to the other. A yard
in front and n in the rear Is an ex-
cellent plan.
The best way to estimate how many
hens to keep in a building is to null
tiply the width by the length and di-
vide by ten. For instance, if a house
is 8 by 16 feet, multiply the two fig
ures together, making IA square feet.
divide this by ten, and there is n frac-
ton over IA. Do not put more than
Is hens in such q house.
