 GAME OF SATURDAY

Coach Burbage is putting his men through strenuous practice each after noon, in preparation for the opening game cf the season Saturday, with the basketball lteam of Dora High school. The game will bc played at the Birming- ham Athletic club.
 The squad has dwindled down some in the last week of practice. Lawley IS about the bes. bet at center, while Hahn seems to have one forward scincbed. Stubbs has been playing the other for ward berth, but the two Goldsteins are offering opposition. Shugerman and Bra gan have been rlaying the varsity guards, but lately Robinson has been shifted from forward, and is alternating with Bragan.
 Dora IS reputey to have mighty strong team this year, and is sure to give Cen tral a hard struggle for the decision. A large part og tho student body of Dora High will accompany the team to town' and some spirited competition is sure TO result between the roofing factions or the two schools.

For the Good of
 the Community

I1lN AOl1lIIl ul11Iy ID IRMINGHAM has chance to get
 real live buffalo for the municipal zoo at Avondale. The government, through the department of agriculture, is offering one buffalo to any municipality that wants it and which will promise to prop erly care for it.
 The current agricultural bill provides that the secretary of agriculture may give one bison to each municipality or public institution from any surplus which may exist in herds now under control of the de- partment of agriculture. None shall be given to individuals.
 The first census of buffaloes taken in 1889 disclosed that there were 1000 of those animals iii North America, of which over 5000 were in the United States and $500 in Canada. It is estimated that there are seven times that number today.
 There are eight herds in the United States, of which six are under govern mental control. The government con- trolled herds are at Yellowstone Park (45O), National Geological Park, Wash ington State (18), Sully's Hill Park, North Dakota, herds; Pisgah National Game Preserve, North Carolina, one herd; Montana National Bison Range; Niobrara Reservation, Nebraska; Wind Cave Game Preserve, South Dakota.
 It is said to be the aim of the depart ment of agriculture to establish at least ten herds in widely distributed sections of the United States.
 It is stated that not only will the depart ment of agriculture give buffaloes to such municipalities and public institutions as may want them, but it will give such aid and advice as may be requested or neces- sary in their treatment and care.
 It has been generally supposed that the bison, native to North America, was be- coming extinct and that in the course of few years, it would be rarity if 1t existed at all Tie government statistics show

KEEP COOL.

The wisdom of the Golden
Mean, the virtue of moderation
in thought and action-that
should be our guiding principle,
our rule of conduct, Our attitude
in all matters. Sound judgment,
as a rule, will be found in a happy
reconciliation of extremes. Either
extreme, as a rule, is only half the
truth, and therefore wrong, and
should be avoided. The extrem-
list is either an ignorant fanatic
or fool, or charlatan. 1t is well
to have this thought in mind as
we contemplate the latest devel-
opments in the Zionist move
ment.
According to the reports from
San Reno, undoubtedly anthem
tic, England has been given the
mandate for Palestine, and in the
peace treaty with Turkey the Bal
four Declaration is given recog-
milton and confirmation. There
fore, Palestine is henceforth a
part of Britain's empire, just like
Egypt or India. For that is what
the mandate actually amounts to.
But according to the Balfour
Declaration the British govern
ment is pledged to help the Jews
establish a national homeland in
Palestine. How Britain will go
about carrying out this pledge re-
mains to be seen. There can be
no doubt that Britain will pri-
marily look out for British inter-
ests, whatever those interests
may be. If Jewish aspirations,
plans, and activities coincide with
them, we'll and good. If not, they
will have to be modified according
to British ideas and projects.
Will Britain, for instance, allow
a Jewish mass immigration to be

forces are able TO manage, W
finance, or otherwise to help and
promote such an influx of the
longing millions from Eastern
and Central Europe? Will Brit
ain allow and enable the Jews
to acquire all the land necessary
for colonization on such a huge
scale? Will England at once al
low the Jews a leading part in
the government of the coun-
try, commensurate with Jewish
capacity, energy and intellect!
These are questions that cannot
yet be answered. England may
have her own ideas in regard to
all these matters, ideas that may
prove very disappointing to us
Zionists.
But we are not complaining.
We shall be thankful for what
ever boon England will grant us
which shall bring us nearer the
ultimate realization of our hopes.
Providence has been very gra-
cious to us. We have made won
derful progress as it is. Where
would Zionism now be if Pales-
tine were still a part of Turkey?
What opportunities would we
have for any approach to the es-
tablishment of a national home
land?
But see, what our cabinet"
the administrative office of the
Zionist Organization of America,
has done in connection with the
news from San Reno. 1t i'm
mediately set out to stampede the
Zionist forces Of the land. The
shouting, the noise, the hurrahing
and the sundry theatricalities
are calculated to sweep us off our
feet. If the old idea of the
Mashiah had actually been real-
lied during the last few days, Our
cabinet" could not have devised
any better schemes of arousing
enthusiasm and excitement. A
proclamation is sent out broad
cast to all papers, and all socie-
ties, and their officers, worded as
follows:
"Proclaim the Great Event.
''Our redemption has come!
On the 9TH day of the month OF
Iyar, $500, 1850 years after the
dispersion, Eretz Israel became
once more the land of Israel, Our
land and the land of our children.
Arise! Our redemption has

quests all ZionistS to 90 out

should go out for this purpose.
1t is further urged that no propa-
ganda should be made and. no
arguments be INDUCED in. Their
duty consists simply in proclaim
ing the fact and proceeding fur
Their.
"This proclamation also urges
all the Jews of America to gather
their children and all the men,
bers of their family around them
and inform them of the great
event. They are also urged that
wherever the Jews congregate
one should arise and proclaim the
great event.
"All this must be done between
now and the 10th of May in order
that on that day every Jewish
man, woman and child in the
United States should be acquaint-
ed with the great event.
"The Zionists who are true to
their ideal will obey literally this
request"
Does not all this sound like one
Of the antics of Sabbetai Zevi?
But that is not all. The "Cabi-
net" is determined to take things
by storm. 1t will not miss the
present favorable opportunity for
doing it. And so it sends out a
summons to an Extraordinary
Convention" to be held in the city
of New York May 9 and 10 and
to be attended by all the dele
gates of the last Chicago conven-
ton plus all the delegates elect
ed to the regular annual conven-
ton that was to be ,he1drin Attain
tic City May 80. The purpose.of
this Extraordinary Convention,
we are told in the summons is to
take appropriate action on the
new situation which cohfronts the
Zionist Organization and to in
struct the American Zionist dele
gates to the International Zionist
Conference to be held on July 4
at Carlsbad. The Extraordinary
Convention will not take up any
of the regular organization ques-
tons usually considered at an an
nual convention" The regular
convention that was to be held in
Atlantic City May 30is, of course,
indefinitely postponed.
Now, we ask, what is the real
object of it all? What "appro-
pirate action" can the convention
take con the new situation that
confronts the Zionist Organiza-
tion ?" What makes the situatiOn

HOW OLD DOES A DOG

Tulsa, Ola., July 29.-When does
a pup become "of age?"
/ P. L. Long the city's chief sani-
tary inspector, under whose direc-
ton the dog catcher operates, has
handed down a decision which, in
! the future, will govern in all in
stances where controversy arises
over the owner of a canine claiming
exemption of the dog tax, alleging
the dog still to be "pup."
At the bi-weekly conference Of
: the mayor and city commissioners,
the subject was brought up and
Long appealed for an official inter-
probation of the period when a pup
becomes "of age" They decided it
was four months. Hereafter, pups in
Tulsa are pups until they are four
months old-then they automatical-
!! ly become dogs.
