Thinks We'll of Kixanians

Birmingham has entertained quite a number of conventions since I have been at the Tutwiler cigar stand" said Miss Maud Roland, "but I can truthfully say that the Kiwanis bunch was the finest lot of men ever had to deal with. They made lot of noise and racket and had good time, but they never in their widest pranks forgot to be gentlemen. It was a genuine pleasure to wait on them, and when they left felt mighty lonesome for a day or two"

with shaping the characters and in- Istrurting the minds of future men and women. They are the greatest single factor in fostering national ideas and in creating higher type of citizen ship. Their work is onerous and ex- acting. To be effective it must be based on moral integrity, self sacrifice and disinterested devotion to the cause of education.
 Years of arduous training and prep aration are needed to make good school teachers. Their profession de- mands qualities of heart and mind that in any other walk of life would insure a comfortable livelihood, yet they are paid salaries that the aver age day laborer would scorn.
 Ehe Digest refers to a certain town in Illinois, and similar conditions pre- vail in other parts of the country, whef& the average wages of 15 min- CTS for one month amounted to S217 and the average monthly salary of 15 school teachers was $55. In another town the salary of a high school prin- cipal was $765 year. The farmer pays the rural school teacher who in- structs his children less than he pays the hired man who feeds his hogs. Like comparisons could be made in many other classes of employment, showing why there are so many in- competents teaching school and why so many men and women qualified to make good teachers are forced to abandon the profession in order that they may earn a decent living.
 The average pay of 740,000 school teachers in America is $630 a year. What sad commentary on the short of the American people

Hawker and Grieve
 Picked Up At Sea

II A~A@ @e@SN NhoPt~i III 1iiS Ii0ot
 0 thrilling adventure of modern times was written yesterday morning when the little Danish steamer Mary, ploughing along at nine knots an hour off the Hebrides, wig-wagged the news that Hawker and Grieve had been saved. The report was quickly verified and the joyful tidings were flashed to all parts of the world. The Press notified all the news papers it serves in America. With TO wireless equipment, the Mary could not tell of her good fortune sooner.
 Last night the two airmen, who had been missing for week and were be- lieved to have lost their lives in the attempt to fly across the Atlantic
 from Newfoundland to Ireland, slept |tranquilly on board 8 British de- stroyer. The report of their rescue electrified England and brought hap piness to the modest home of Hawk er, |near London, where his wife had not |yet given up hope, although she had received a telegram of condolence from King George and Lord North
 cliffe had authorized the London Daily
 Mail to award her Hawker's share of
 the prize of $50,OO0, offered by that Ipaper for successful flight. It was a magnanimous act prompted by the belief that both aviators had perished. The details of the flight remain to
 be told. Hawker and Grieve are ap- parently none the worse for their hazardous experience. They have been the subject of hundreds of editorials in American and English newspapers, paying tribute to their bravery and mourning them as dead.
 No undertaking has ever stirred the hearts of men more than this superb feat, and while it ended in failure
 there is universal rejoicing that flaw. ker and Grieve have been saved. Ever If they did not reach Ireland in theii
 tiny Sopwith, as they hoped to do they have won immortality and they
 have lived to tell the tale. It is the best news we have had since the sign ling of the armistice. The generol.

Second Commercial
 Conference In June

6H HE second Pan-American Con- j. mercial conference, to be held in Washington from June 3 to 6, inclu- sive, will be of far-reaching impor- tance, and Director General John Bar rett of the Pan-American union is assured of large attendance.
 All experts on Latin-American trade and all business concerns seek ing commercial relations with the re- publios south of us. have been, invited to the eonference,, and it is needless to say that Birmingham should be well represented.
 The commercial conference held in February, 1911, was a marked suc- cess. It not only developed closer po- litical bonds between Central and South America and the United States, but was the beginning of an organ ized effort to establish better un- derstanding regarding our commercial opportunities.
 The governing board of the Pan- American union in calling attention to the "great present interest in Pan American trade" expresses its be- lief that much good will result to all concerned-"g -"governments, organiZa- tions, firms and individuals" s"-from another informal but comprehensive exchange of views between official and unofficial commercial representa- tives and business men who have been making survey of the Pan-American situation.
 Sessions will be held morning, aft ernoon and night, and all papers and addresses will be limited to ten min utes in their reading or delivery.
 The Pan-Amerlcanf funlon, formerly known as the International Bureau of American Republics, was founded in 1890. Many conferences have been held, but the first confined to com mercial discussions was that of 1911. Twenty -one republics form the union. Statesmen, bankers and prominent merchants of Latin-America are stirred with enthusiasm over the pros- poets of strengthening trade relations with this country, and our manufac- turers and our business men in gen. eral should be keen to grasp the op- portunity presenting itself at the pres ent time.

Bowling "It is just a matter of exercising the same amount of cleanliness that any honest and clean Illness that any honest and cleanly house. wife uses about her kitchen. It is not a matter of additional expence, either. But it does take more time. Recently in New York it was insisted that redu cing the bacteria count in milk was a mat ter of habit of keeping things clean with the dairymen. The operators of a dairy In which the count was less than 10000 were carried to another dairy where the count was between half million and fcur million. The visiting men took ab- solute charge of the dalries for one day and from the same cows got milk with a bacteria count of about 10000. The bacteria count in the average Birming- ham milk now is somewhere between 1000 030 and 100000"

New Color For Fire Plugs

T had many jibes flung at me on &C., count of my cerise necktie' said J. Mer- cer Barnett, both by the local Kiwan- ians and the visitors, but I had no idea that it was going to make such an ap- peal to the city commissioners. Evident ly they thought it caught the public fancy, or in any event was loud enough to call attention to itself, for immediate ly they sent out bunch of painters with buckets of vermillion to paint all the down town fire plugs. I. suppose it was really done to keep the automobilists from breaking the law by parking too near them If this was the case, no one who is pulled for so doing can plead that he failed to see the plug for they are red enough to cry aloud warning" .7u

IMPROVE YOUR LAND
BY GRAZING LIVESTOCK

Clemson College, S. C.-Feed YOUR
land and your livestock at the same
.lme, is the lesson for South Carolina
farmers to be learned from some ex-
periments conducted by the Arkansas
Experiment Station. A field was di-
vided into four sections, and pea
nuts, soybeans, chufas, and corn
were planted, one crop on each sec
ton. The first three crops were
grazed by hogs, and the next year
all four sections were planted to cot
ton and given the same treatment in
every way.
The amount of seed cotton pro-
duced on each section, as shown be-
ow, tells an interesting tale that
he who runs may read"
Cotton after peanuts, 1871 lbs.
Cotton after soybeans, 1852 lbs.
Cotton after chufas, 1900 lbs.
Cotton after corn, 1,OO5 lbs.
Of course the peanuts and the soy
rcans Increased the yield more than
he chufas, since they are lcgumes,
gathering nitrogen from the air and
storing it in the soil, while chufas are
not legume. But the grazing of
the chufas increased the yield 200 lbs
over the ungrazed corn. Why? Be-
cause the corn left the land poorer
by removing fertility which was not
replaced by hog grazing as in the
case Of the chufas.
