SCHOOL BOOK LACK SERIOUS PROBLEM
 FOR AUTHORITIES
Publishers Cannot Fill Con- tracts Educational Boards Ask That Old Text Books
 Be Held for Children

Jefferson county as we'll as the entire state of Alabama is facing an acute shortage of text books.
 This announcement Is made in a letter from John W. Abercrombie, state superintendent of education 10 pr. N, R. Boker. county superintendent of education.
 The shortage, according to Dr. Baker. is claimed py publishers to be due to labor conditions and the scarcity of materials. It is pointed out that there is indeed a scarcity of primers, first, second and third readers and that these may not be available at all. It is also expected that there will be delay in getting geography and lan- guage texts, although the former are promised about October l, and gram mars about November 1.
 "In order to meet the situation
 now existing we are requesting nl1
 school patrons and officials to se-
 cure as large number or the adopted
 basal texts ns possible" said Dr.
 Baker. "We are requesting pupils
 to secure all the secondhand books
 that cnn be gotten and to request
 all persons who have my of the
 text books not in use to bring them
 out and let some school child have
 them.
 This is pointed out as practically the only means of securing a sufficient number of text books for the county schools.
 If we are unable to get an adequate supply of books, it will be necessary to use as basal the adopted supple mentary texts. However, we do not wish to introduce into the schools miscellaneous books" added MT. Baker
 CONTRACTS DROPPED
 Alabama contracted for book adopted for use in the state schools four years ago and at that time we had very reasonable price on them. During the past few years the in creased price of paper and labor have greatly increased the cost of produc- tion of books and some of the pub fishers have surrendered their contracts with the state.
 The shortage in the state can only be mep by the bringing into service by pibperly conducted campaigns, old or discarded adopted books. It is be- lieved that this will undoubtedly help to meet the shortage and at the same time save patrons heavy expenditures for it is pointed out that books bought al this time may be discontinued by the new adoptions."
 In his letter Superintendent Aber-
 crombie stated thnt his depa rtment
 with the approval of the state
 board of education. purposes to use
 all the power at It's command to
 relieve the embarrassing situation.
 Dr. Baker has issued an appeal to all school authorities of the county to acquaint school patrons with the ex- isting conditions and ask their coopera- tion in securing text books in sufficient numbers for the schools during the coming year.

EXHIBIT OF WORK BY ELDERLY WOMEN
 FOR ALABAMA FAIR

That the work of elderly women is not unappreciated is evidenced by the fact that at the Alabama State Fair which takes place at the fair grounds in West Birmingham October to g. a special classification styled "Old La- dies Work" has been provided in the list of exhibits Tn this classification will be found scores of pieces of beau tiful handiwork which serve to keep the grandmothers and great-grand- mothers occupied and happy
 First and second prizes will be awarded for the best pieces of crochet ing, knitting, eyelet embroidery, French embroidery. scallpping, hand sewing and darning. To the elderly of blue ribbons or first prizes. will be awarded an additional first prize of $s and second prize of $2.
 In the past these exhibits of the work of elderly women have attracted much attention among visitors. but the 1920 fair is expected to excel in this classification as well as in all others, according to Mrs. Augusta Randolph Reid superintendent, and Mrs. NJ. M. Grant assistant superintendent, of the department of industry of Ala abama women.
 These directors state that even with the fair almost a month away the in- quiries concerning this particular ex- hibit are increasing every day and that the number of entries as well the quality of the exhibits promise to far surpass any similar exhibits found at the Alabama State Fair in past years.

Charles r. F.Caldwell, pioneer min- in5 man of the Occur d'Alene and Si0can districts, president of Utica Mines Ltd, has been elected Gener- al Overseer of the Christian Cathel- ic Apostolic Church, Zion City, Ill., inois, and left for that point this week to assume his duties as sue cesSor of John A. Lewis, who died July 7 last and who for 13 years had worn the mantle of John Alex ander Dowie, First Apostle of the Lord Jesus the Christ, and Genesal Overseer of the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion" or Elijah Il" as he styled himself.
 MT. Caldwell was in Zion City at the time of the death of his predc- cess0r and, no successor having been appointed prior to his demise, as the rules of the church provide, the off, cials met in conclaVe and finally settled upon Caldwell by unanimous vote, says Northwest Mining Truth, Spokane. The church was founded by Dowie in 1896, and in 1901 was established at Zion City. on the shore of Lake Michigan, 42 mJa5 north of Chicago and about th.t distance south of Milwaukee, or, as said, Between Beer and Babel" In 1906 the church revolted against Dowie's rule and finally suspended him from the church, charging him with the misuse of investments, tyranny, polygamous tendencies and other offenses. Later his position was usurped by Voliva, chief insur- rectionist, and John A. Lewis was selected by the orthodox wing of the church. Since its establishment the church" has grown in fnan- ciai power and is possessed of much property of value.

After a few years spent in the mining districts of Colorado he arrived at Murray in 1884. soon after the dis covery of gold by Prichard had started the COeHr d'Alene stampede He engaged in some desultory pla- Ger mining on Prichard creek, ran a sawmill and lumber camp and then built the Palace hotel, which he ran for about two years In 1889. at the time of the great Spokane fire, he was at Chloride, on Pend OFeilje lake, where another excitement had followed location of the Weber mine and in the following year moved to Spokane, where he opened offices in the Ziegler building as broker in mines and stocks.
 In 1891 he stainpeded to Kaslo whence the first rumorS of the dis covery of the Payne mine by Eli Carpenter had emanated, but in the following year followed another band of rainbow chaSers who start ed a gold excitement on the Lar deau and Duncan rivers, north of h2etenay lake.

D. Farrel, then superintendent of this division of the Great North ern, to make practical report up- on the operating mines and pros poets of the district.
 Soon afterwards he joined the rush to RoSSland and there bonded and worked the Homestake in the south belt. He also bonded the Sun set for $12,000 for a syndicate rep resented by D.M.Linnard, the Cali fornia hotel man, and E.C.
