THEY APPROVE

Mrs. A. J. Bowron, in speaking of Mrs. McNeel said:
 T am delighted with the selection Of Mrs. McNeel, for she is we'll suited for the place. Although Mrs. McNeel has not been all ardent suffragist long as many other Birmingham won- en, l am glad indeed to know that the committee acknowledged a suffragist for this distinction. During the time she has been interested in the suf- frage movement she has worked ar dently for the cause and we feel that she deserved the honor
 Mrs Solon Jacobs. who has shown such ability in her work for suffrage in Ala bama, was appointed national democratic committeewoman by the na- tional executive committee several weeks ago and 1 feel now that she has more work than she can do efficiently with the League of Women Voters and other things in which she is interested.

For the Good of the Community

NO word of complaint is arising in Ala V bama over the so-called inroads of hydroelectricity on the consumption of coal
 When thirty-five coal mines htched on to Lock 12 in spite of the fact that coalwas at hand, the word "inroad' ceased to have a meaning.
 In this period of coal famine the only fault found with hydroelectric current is that there is not enough of it.
 In a country growing as rapidly as America there is need for every source of power that can be found and of more of each kind than has been developed and appears to be capable of immediate de- velopment
 The south is fortunate in being close to the great oil fields, in having enormous deposits of coal and in possessing what might be termed almost unlimited hydro electric resources.
 The south is already consuming much more water power current than it's peo- pie are generally aware.
 South Carolina stands at the head of the southern states in the use of water power. In that state less than per cent of the public utility plants are driven by other than water power.
 North Carolina ranks second in the use of water power, Georgia is third and Ten nessee and Alabama tie for fourth place.
 The record of the use of water power and other fuels by public utilities in these states in March was as follows:
 South Carolina, 55,165,000 kilowatt hours of water power. and 4,976,0O0 by fuel
 North Carolina, 57,560,000 by water power and 9,670,000 by fuel.
 Alabama, 39,354,o0 by water power power and 9, ,736, 900 by fuel.
 Tennessee, O,125, 900 by water power and 9,818,0O0 by fuel.
 With all this water power taking the place of coal there is a clamor for more Imagination fails to picture the relief that Alabama would experience at this time , were there as much more water power as we now have.
 The present water power supply of Alabama takes the place of around 1,OOO,OOO tons of coal per annum. When Wilson dam adds another 450,000 horse power of hydroelectricity and the Coosa river 35O,O0O more, Alabama will be in- dependent of coal for driving power.
 But that does not mean that coal will go begging; that that fuel oil will go begging.
 In the first place, the by-product coke oven will continue it's expanding pro- cess, because it is a coking and iron mak- ing economy. Alabama's present by-pro- duct capacity consists of l, I'll ovens with an annual capacity of 6,00O,0O0 tons of coal and 4,500,000 tons of coke. The more the by-product industry grows, the more coal it will consume
 Then there are the nations of the earth clamoring for Alabama coal; Italy, France, Greece, even Britain, as far away as Turkey all the Latin Americas. When the coal terminals are placed at Mobile A 1oI> o<,1 l

REPORT OF OHIU
FAIR MEETING

The Ohio Fair Boys Association,
met in Columbus January 14th and
18th at the Deshler Hotel, this and
the Ohio Fair Circuit are the largest
organizations of the kind in the
United States, and it is also ack-
that Ohio has the best
financial returns Of any State in the
Union. ~
Items of the most Importance were
taken up and thoroughly threshed
out, one of the most important was
the Admission Fee, nearly all the
County Fairs now charge a 80 cent
admission and a resolution was pass
ed that all Fairs, County and Inde-
pendent, make charge of so cents
and then make a so cent Fair. In
order to make a better Fair it is
necessary to increase the exhibits,
and also the races, and in order to
do this the premiums and purses
have got to be increased and this
cannot be done on the old price of
admission, every thing has doubled
m price and sob as the expense of
running a fair.
How to get owners of pure breA
stock interested in the fair was dis
cussed and only the increase Of the
premiums appeared to have any
weight on the subject.
The old style of advertising, "The
Poster" was conceded to be lost
art and the medium of the News
Paper advertising was adopted as
the very best advertising medium
that is in existence to-day.
The idea of how to get every per-
son in the County to realize that
thew were one of the members Of
the County Fair and that it is as
much their property as if each was a
member of the Fair Board, was an
other subject of much importance
and one that should be much thought
of by every person in the county.
The annual dues of each County
tn the State was increased from
$500 to $500 to help perfect q

FIRST GRaDE HIGH SCHOOL
FOR CHESTERFIELD
Chesterfield Centralized High School to Receive Char
ter as First Grade School From State Department
of Education. Efficiency of Teaching Corps
Complimented.

is likely to prove a valuable addition
to Chesterfield teaching corps.
Follows another ertract from the
of the Inspector shows that he was
impressed with the quality of the
work of your High School teachers as
of high order and the results of
their superior work is apparent in
the excellent response which he OBJ
served on the part of your students.
You have reason to be proud of what
your High School is achieving and
its future possibilities are great. Let
us congratulate you upon the earnest
efficient teachers you have"
Let US say that the general dis
satisfaction concerning low salaries
has in no way interfered with the
work of our teaching. corps. All are
intensely loyal to the school and
community and this fact is apparent
In the cooperation and in the quality
of work as noted by the inspector.
Ali for the school, the school for all,
is our motto.
This means that Chesterfield will
graduate its first Senior Class under
the First Grade Charter. Our gradu-
ates will now be given an uncondition-
al Freshman standing in any college
or University in the state and because
of such recognition by the state will
be received On like terms by col
leges of other states.
An epidemic of measles is sweep
ing through the schools here. Parents
should watch carefully for SYMPTOMS
of the disease. Slight colds, sore
threats and headaches should be re-
garded with suspicion and the child
kept at home. The "Flu" is also
spreading in many sections. Let us
take every precaution and keep it
out Of the school if possible. Strict
adherence to rules of health such as
ventilation, exercises, plenty Of sleep
and attention to the diet will be most
helpful.

On January 18th, State High
School Inspector, w. L. Spencer
visited our schools. The following
extracts from letter received from
the State Department of Education
show the result of the inspection.
Mr.. W. L. Spencer, a representa-
tive of this department visited your
High School on Jan. 13, upon the
request of your County Superinten~
dent. His report was placed before
the High School Board at then
meeting of January 16 and we are
glad to inform you that it was con-
sidered favorably. This board voted
that First Grade Charter shall be
granted to your school as soon as
the shortage of equipment, listed be-
low, are fully made up and one more
elementary teacher is added to your
force. AS soon as you have COM
piled with these requirements you
will inform US of the fact thru your
Coonty Superintendent, and the char
ter will be delivered promptly.
Tuesday January 27, the Board of
Education met with a number of the
patrons and taxpayers to discuss the
matter and it was decided to comply
with the request of the Department
at once. The matter of extra cost of
maintaining first grade school was
fully considered and the attitude of
the community toward the school is
shown in the following remark by a
patron here. "Chesterfield has never
backed down on proposition yet and
they won't on this one" With such
sentiment as this there can be but
little doubt as to the outcome.
The equipment has already been
ordered and the extra teacher secur-
ed. Miss Esther Neubauer of San
dusky, Ohio has been employed to fill
the new position. Miss Neubauer is
a young lady with a most pleasing
personality and is also very much in
terested in the socialized method as
it is being developed here; Thus she
