ELECT TUESDAY
Greater Activity Planned at.
Meeting Held Last Night

At a meeting Of the Ways and
Means Committee held last night In
the Y. M. H. A. plans for O senior
organization meeting were discussed.
Every member of the committee In
his discussion emphasized the neces-
sdty of calling a meeting owing to the
fato that with a new building in view
some action must be taken.
The committee therefore prepared
a slate of nominations for the cleo
ton to be held at the Y. M. H. A.
Tuesday night. The names OF a num-
Der of members of the organization
who saw service will appear on the
ballots. These boys before they left
TO join Uncle Sam's' forces were the
mainstay of the institution. and the
committee feel assured that with them
back at the helm Of the ship" q
new feeling of brotherhood which
pervaded the Dough Boys will take
root.
The necessity of having suoh men
at the head of the z. M. H. A. is
made more urgent by the fact that
within a year OF so. the Y. M. II: A..
will have q homo of its own. Mucn
therefore depends on the character
of the work which the new presi-
dent will outline. The absence or
these men from h association rooms
every evening since they left Tor war
caused a slump In the organizations
activities esp ecially along social and
athletic lines.
The meeting promises to be of
the best attended meetings held since
the Y. M. II. A. first organized.
Many Of the good old enthusiastic
workers have already signif1ed their
intention Of coming to the meeting.

Hoover Paid Back Million Dollars

There was million dollar defalca- tion! Technically the firm was not responsible. But Junior Partner Her, bert Hoover said that every cent must be paid back. It was. In Everybody s. Vernon Kellogg. in writing of the one big disaster in the wonderfully suc-. cessful career of Hoover. says: There is one outstanding happening in his London experience that insistentlv de- mands telling. It is the happening that meant for him the greatest set back In his otherwise almost mono tonously successful career. And yet. although this happening meant tenn porary financial ruin for him, it was, in its way. only another success. success of revealing significance to those who would like to know the real man that Herbert Hoover is.
 After one of his returns to Lon don he discovered ~ dedication of staggering proportions. By the is/- ance and sale of false stock and by other means the firm. or it's creditors and clients, had been committed to loss of over million dollars. Tech nically the operations of the defaulter were of such a character that the firm could not be held legally liable But the junior partner swept the techni- calities aside with single gesture He announced that 'hey would maNe SOo0 all oI the OD1SdIlOnS lncu by the defaulter This meant the i'm mediate loss of his own personal for tune, and 1t meant a serious differ ence of opinion with the absent head Of the firm. whose frantic cables came, however. too late to overrule tx decision of the junior partner.

MARION INSTITUTE
 PRIDE EOF ALABAMA ! AS BOYS SCHOOL
Superior Equipment for Military Training Recog- nized All Over the
 United States

Marion Institute has gained na- tional prominence that is a distinct acknowledgmen of the high character of it's academic work. as well as it's superior equipment for military train- ing.
 Working hand in hand with the ideals of the war department in fitting young men mentally and physically for national and international service, Marion has been designated by the War Department as 'Fhonor school 1920,' one of ten colleges in the United States to be designated and the only college receiving this citation in the southeastern department.
 While it's standing as an army and navy school is assured by such recog- milton by the government. there is equally as much importance attached to the thoroughness of the academic work. It is the only military college in this section of the south whose work is accredited by institutes of higher learning; convincing evidence that it is much more than just a school of military training.
 Thorough and comprehensive courses of study are combined with an atmos- phere of morality, character building and physical development such as will fit it's students for the higher work ot
 
 take place among the worlds leaders There is a feature made of the fact that at Marion one can have unlimited private tutorage without extra charge. This enables backward scholars to enter classes which would be further advanced than would be possible for them without such tutoring.
 Marion is ideally situated in the foot hills of the Appalachian mountains, where the climate is healthful, invigor. ating and conducive to the best inter. est physically and mentally for the student The equipment is modern, ef ficent and complete in every depart ment.
 The army and navy college features special preparatory courses for West Point and Annapolis and since 1917 it's students have won every competitive examination in which they have taken part. Over four hundred young men were sent to the government schools during the war.
 The military training is under direct army and navy officials and conforms in every way to governmental require- ments.
 Marion. with students from every state and territory in the United States and from several foreign countries, is truly one of "America's most dstin- guished schools" and one in which all Alabamians should be justly proud.

HUDSON COLLEGE IS
 RICH IN TRADITION
Famous Girls School Has Never Closed Its Doors
 During Past 80 Years

There could be no adequate presenta- ton of the educational interests of Alabama with Judson College left out. For Judson is Alabama's oldest college for young women, known and beloved throughout the entire state. For more than eighty years this school has ex- erted mighty influence for good, an influence felt not only in this state but in many sections of the south and of the world. It was founded in 1883 and has never closed it's doors any year. not even during the troublous years of the Civil war. Its honored president during this period was Dr. Noah K. Davis, the well known author and afterwards the celebrated teacher of philosophy in the University of Vir- ginia. Among the many trees on the Judson lawn today one is regarded with peculiar affection; it is called the Confederate Oak, for beneath it's spreading branches the Judson girls of the eos stood while one of their num- ber Miss Zitella Cooke since known as one of our greatest contemporary poets. presented a Confederate flag made by the girls to a company of Confederate soldiers going forth to war.
 This incident is illustrative of the fact that Judson girls have ever kept in touch with, been a part indeed of, the forces that are making the world. Though situated in a small town it is no small part the institution has played in the making of the history of today The school in the small town has been the point of vision from which the student has been enabled to see the whole of life and to give to each part it's proportionate value. l. has been as the burning bush was to Moses, kindling in the heart the fire of a great purpose, and sending the student forth to inspire others to diff ficult conquests, lead them into better and nobler living.

 The worlds supply of raw silk comes almost entirely from Japan. The small European production was almost en- tirely cut off by the war and the Chi nese have fallen far behind in the race by their persistence in antiquated meth, ods. In 1919 Japan exported more than

facturer had risen to $if25, and early in l92o it reached SIS.
 On account of the strategic position which the Japanese exporter holds it is said that he makes a profit of 1000 per cent at present prices. But it is not only the exporter who is fortunate. Even the Japanese farmer who engaged in silk culture only as a side issue often receives more for his crop of cocoons shan for all his other produce combined. But the farmer must raise food. and for
 his reason the amount of silk that Japan raises cannot be appreciably n- creased. The nation may well be sat

pickers were in evidence every
where Saturday, in the vicinity Of
independence, and the city took on
the activities Of former years in
providing for the wants or camp
ers. Many pickers who registered
early in the season reached here
during the fore part OF the week
and pitched their tents, but the
general migration did not begin
until Saturday, Every train reach
ing the city from all directions was
crowded with people and their
baggage, and the help at the sta
ton was almost inadequate to
handle the increased traffic. Grow
ers met the trains and furnished
transportation to their yards. Sat
urday, it is said, witnessed the ar
rival of the largest crowd of pick
ers that have been seen here for
several years.
Picking is general here today,
having commenced in nearly every
yard in the country this morning.
The yards are all in excellent con-
dtiion. hops are large and at the
rate of eighty cents per hundred,
which is paid by Independence
growers this year, the harvesters
generally are making good.
Independence will be busy cen
