DAIRYMEN CONTENTIOUS

Among the contentious of the dairy men in saying that the proposed ordi- nance is radical and extreme were: That the food value of the milk is harmed by cooking; that raw milk is sufficiently pure when it contains 100,- 900 bacteric per cubic centimeter; that to pasturize milk will add to the price that will have to be paid by consumers; that there is no way known by which milk can be cooked to 145 degrees ex- actly and no further, and that the ordi- nance is drastic and is attempting to do too much at one time.
 Dr. J. D. Bowling, city health officer, led the arguments for the ordinance. He exhibited a series of charts show ing milk conditions in other cities, the value of pasturization' of milk and oth- CT facts about milk.
 Tt is not true that pasturizing milk destroys any of its food value,' he said. Anyone who tells you that it does is misinformed, and does not know the facts. We do not want to cook the milk we only want to cook the bugs in it.

Resolution Fauoring $25, ,OOO,O Bond Issue for State Highways
 Adopted at Good Roads Meeting
Representative Body of Ala bama Citizens Hold Suc- cessful Meeting and Unan- imously Indorse Construc- ton of Permanent Roads
By w. J. BOLEs

Alabama went on record yes terday in favor of good roads, for a $25,000,000 bond issue to pay for them and for contln- uance of federal aid in the con- struction of highways after the expiration of the tllile ------, -e- IL the recent bill passed by Con- gross.
 This action was taken by the Alabama Highway Improvement association at it's meeting yesterday, not dissenting vote among the 400 or more delegates present, representing all the counties, being TO- corded on the bond issue proposition.
 The convention that came to close at o'clock yesterday afternoon, after a two days session, was remarkable Tor several things. It was composed of one of the most representative bodies of men ever assembled in Alabama; there was entire unanimity on every proposition looking to the construction and mainten- ance of permanent highways, and "hiie no cut and dried programme was rusheo tbroueh by usual convention tactics, the merits of the various propositions ao- vanced, when understood by the deie- gates. received their hearty indorsemeht'
 DEBATED AT LENGTH
 Several of the propositions were de- bated at length and, as usual among large body of men, there was a dlversity of opinion. There were arguments aplenty, amendments and substitutes or fered to resolutions and motions, but Tn the end the originals were adopted py .cc,am tion. or by unanimous rising vote.
 The resolutions committee, appointed the night before, reported series oi fes- olutions which were adopted. Johh H. Rankhead, Jr, of Jasper, reading them for the committee, explained their fea- tures and then moved their adoption. The purpose of the resolutions ne eA- plained, was omatch the federal ai' bill and in trying to formulate plan the committee had prepared scheouie which it believed would meet with the least resistance on the part of the people of the state.
 The first of the resolutions recon mended the passage by the legislature when it reconvenes in July, Of Dill suo- hitting to a vote of the people or the state at a special election to be held al the earliest possible date an amendment to the constitution authorizing hlgn- way bond issue of $25,O0o.oOo. It also recom- mended a 50 per cent increase In the auto mobile license tax, and a license tax on auto trucks graded according to thelr carrying capacity.
 In moving the adoption Of thls resolu tion. MT. Bankhead stated that the com mittee deemed it inadvisable to postpone the adoption of the proposed amend ment until a constitutional conVenlio' coudl be held, as such delay might eh- danger the federal aid now avallaple.

 patriotism cannot be divorced from government bonds at this juncture,' she declared. She recited number ot statistical figures showing the num- Der of men mustered into the service of the country, the number sent over to France the number participating Tn the fighting, the cost at different stages of the war and the amount Of money the government now owes f,r supplies already used or contracted for and which it is obligated to pay for.
 At the afternoon session Mrs. Samuel I.umpkin, chairman of the Sixth dis trict womens committee, made a very interesting talk in which she outlined the plan of campaign.
 Mrs. w. l. Grubbs made talk on expense accounts. Mrs. Philip Oster eN- plained the work of the speakers b1- reau and Mrs. John R. Hornady told of the necessity of using the newspa- pers in advertising the Victory Loan campaign, and advised the county chairmen and their publicity commit tees of the methods that she found had brought the best results. Give tho papers news and they will publish It," she said.

BANKS AND BONDS

The banks. he said. might take all of the bonds, as great many people seemed to think they should, but if they did so, the money of the country would be tied up; they could not fi- nance crops nor industries and the re- turn of prosperity would thereby be delayed much longer.
 '"The reason for this loan should be put clearly before the people" he said. ''because it is impossible for some people to see the reason for it. The people will have to be made to under . stand that when preparations for war were under way the government neces- sarily had to make large contracts and these must now be taken care of. The American soldiers in France and in this country must be cared for, credit must be extended to the allied countries in Europe to help them back to prosper ity and to enable them to pay for sup plies already bought or needed. "The ending of the war did not re- lieve the government of its obligation incurred when 1t made these contracts. They were for necessities, they arc legitimate debts and they must bo paid.
 "The alternative to issuing bonds 's increasing the taxes. The people can take their choice. The government must have the money"

Mr.. Sprouse Abandons Literature at
an Early Hour In the Morning.

After thrashing about In his bed for
seven sleepless hours, Barnes arose
and gloomily breakfasted alone. He
was not discouraged over his failure
to arrive Mt anything tangible in the
shape of plan of action. 1t was in
conceivable that he should not be able
in very short order to bring about the
release of the fair guest of Green
Fancy. There was not the slightest
doubt in his mind that international
affairs of considerable Importance
were involved and that the agents on
Grating at Green Fancy were under
definite orders.

low Of coffee.

that he was going to bed, greatly to

The night was as black as pitch.
Barnes. trusting to the little mans
eyes and hanging close upon his coat

in the tracks Of the leader. It seemed
to him that they stumbled along par
allel to the road for miles before
Sprouse came to n halt. "This is the

down after him.
Presently heavy footsteps APP

passed within ten yards of them. They
scarcely breathed until the sounds
passed entirely out Of hearing. Sprouse
