OUTDOOR LIGHTS
FOR THE FARM

The first thing one thinks of in
connection with electricity on the
farm is light in the house and barns
and yet farmers who have installed
electricity find that one Of the most
useful lights on their places is an
outside light.
In great many instances farm
buildings are SO arranged that a
single light can be used to illumi-
nate all the ground between the
house and the barns. Quite gen
orally it is found that a windmill
tower, the peak of the roof of one
of the buildings, or other ready
made support offers the best loca-
ton tor the light. An enamelled
reflector is used, which ENSURES the
even and strong distribution of all
of the light from the lamp over the
arc where it is needed. Switches
to control the light are placed both
in the house and in the barn, that
is, the light is wired so that it can
be turned on or off from either the
house or the barn. 1t is this fea-
ture which makes this particular
light so valuable to the farmer. He
drives into the barn yard at night
with the lights of his car turned on,
switches on the yard light when he
gets out to open the garage doors,
and thus is able to walk up to the
house over path that he can see
all the way. Ii the season demands
that he get up before dawn or if
there is sudden necessity for his
going to the barn in the middle of
the night he does not have to find
and light a lantern. A touch of
button and the whole barnyard
is flooded with light. Powerful
lights are used for this kind Of
lighting, IS to 100 watts, and yet

Bird club
= Notes

Everybody who lives in the
country is acquainted with the
meadowlark Contrary to bird
habits in general he is not often
found among trees but seeks the
open country. He is strong
legged walker and spends all his
time while eating on the ground.
When singing he usually perches
on dead limb or the topmost
branches of a tree. In these days
of telegraphs we often see him on
telegraph poles while he pours
forth his happiness in song, which
is high musical whistle. He eats
cutworms, armyworms, caterpillars,
grasshoppers, the boil weevil and
the alfalfa weevil. When he can
not eat these he eats weed seeds.
The meadowlark places his nest
on the ground usually under tuft
of grass which protects it from the
weather and from observation.
The eggs are white, spotted with
reddish brown.
The upper parts of the meadow
lark are Black, brown or buff. The
under parts are yellow with black
collar around the front of its neck.
The outer tail feathers are white.
A swallow will eat a thousand
fieas and bugs in a day. He is a
very valuable bird as he destroys
so many of the insects which injure
our crops and trees. Sometimes
colonies of thousands of these birds
build their nests near together on
the side of a cliff near still water
I where mosquitoes hatch, and liter
ally swarm through the air catch
ing the mosquitoes which rise in
clouds from the surface of the
water. They build their nests of
clay under the caves of barns or on
/ the sides of cliffs, and get their food
while on the wing. They eat flies,
mosquitoes, gnats and all kinds Of
bugs which fly in the air.
The swallows are very valuable
birds living almost entirely on in
sects. Bayberries is the only fruit
which he is known to eat and these
only when they can get no other
food. Protect the swallows.

the cost Of burning them is less
than a half cent an hour.
The low cost of such lighting,
and its reliability, is due to the
great development of farm electric
plants during the last few years.
Today the farmer can have electric
service from a plant that is low
in cost, reliable and remarkably
simple in operation.

CARSON GAINS APPEAL

Anniston, February 4.-(SpeciaL )-Thom- as Carson, the alelged pickpocket held in the Calhoun county jail here since his ar rest on the night of November II, and his conviction later under a charge of rob- bing Paul Chastain of Choccolocco of a purse containing s375 at the Union depot, won his contentious that he should be allowed bond when the state court of reversing and remanding the case sent up from the circuit court little more than a month ago
 Carson was refused bail by Judge Mer- Till because the particular charge of rob- bery was docketed against him, but the higher court has ruled that the evidence would not sustain the maximum penalty. which is death in Alabama in aggravated cases.
 The offense for which Carson is incar- cerated occurred at the Union station on the night of November Ii. when a large crowd of people were leaving the city after attending a big circus per- formance. and a fight which ensued be- tween Carson and Chastain. when the latter claims to have caught the other a good deal of excitement.

 floor tonight to battle the cadet

 nights for the irminEhnm-South-

 rion and his squad of warriors
 rived in the Magic City yesterday,
 and will be in readiness to meet
 she locals when hOstilitieS begin at
 S;3O o'clock tonight.
 The local basket tossers should be in perfect trim for the encounter with Cadets, since the Methodist aggrega- tion will meet their third foe in con- secutivce nights Howard college was the Panther opponent Tuesday night, while Stockhsm. in the City League, was played last night. Besides, Coacn Brown put his cage warriors through a stiff workout at the Central fY' yes- terday afternoon 10 Timber after the little affair with the Howard collegians the night before
 The Panther coach has announced the following lineup for the fracas tonight; Forwards, Norton (captain), and Griffin; center, Burney; guards, Candy and Green. This IS SllShl change from the lineup that faced the East Lake quintet Tuesday Burney will be shifted to center, while Candy will take his former position at guard. Greek" Griffin, who has been playing a star game for the locals lately, will be transferred from guard to forward, which seems to be his natural position
 The Partners appeared none the worse for their drubbing by the How ard quintet Tuesday night when they appeared in their thin attire for prac- tive yesterday afternoon. The Bir- ming ham southern athletes are deter mined to partially make up for their defeat by the Baptists by scoring win over the Marion crew. Marion, with Chief Argo in the lineup a the pivotal position. should present a for midable cage aggregation, and team that will give the Methodsts a fight to the finish. Coach Brown is going to take no chances with the cadets, al- though they were defeated by Central High short time ago.
 According to the concensus of opin- ion of the Panther followers. the guard ing of the Howard five and the ina bility of the Methodists to successfully guard their opponents gained the de- cison for the Baptists I is thought that the transfer of Candy to guard will strengthen the defensive element of the locals. while with Griffin al for ward the offensive ability of the Pan thers will be greatly increased.
