 From the figures in the five bids made it can be seen that the predic- ton of President Jerry Gwin, Thomas E. Huey and other members of the board that they were to get a good figure fo rthe bonds will materialize.
 will the county sell it's bonds as advantageously as did the city?" was asked Mir. Huey.
 Why. man, the city won't be in 1t With our figures" said Mir Huey. You see, our bonds are for long terms and the city paper was for limited pe- riod. Although the city is mills un- der the limitation of taxation permitted by the constitution, the length the county bonds are to run and the fact just at this time commercial houses are desirious of getting hold of paper that will not be taxed by the state or government makes county bonds most attractive"
 Bids on file in MT. Huey's office are from Marx & Co.,, Birmingham; Steiner Brothers, Birmingham Veil Roth X Co, Cincinnati; R. M. Grant & Co.,. New York; Caldwell & Co, Nashville, and

EASTER MAIL HEAVY
 AT LOCAL POSTOFFICE

Easter business at the postoffice is un- usually heavy this year. All day long yesterday clerks at two windows were kept busy receiving packages, and at 3 o clock two lines of men and women ex- tending out into the street were waiting to deposit their parcels.
 Postmaster R. B. Smyer stated yester- day afternoon that early posting ot packages today and tomorrow was es- sential if the senders wanted prompt de- livery.
 Extra clerks have been assigned to han dle this character of business, but at the rate it flowed in yesterday it will be im- possible to make prompt deliveries un- less the packages are posted early in the day.

IN STRONG LETTER, DINSMORE REPLIES
 ABOUT REGIMENT
Says Farmers Union Ac- cepted Quarters With No Intention of Surrender
 ing Its Identity

Headquarters of the Alabama Farm
 Chamber of Commerca yesterday to the
 eighth floor of the Farley building.
 The departure from the Chamber ot
 Commerce was at the request of Presi.
 dent Brown of that Institution. who in
 letter to President Dinsmore of tho
 Farmers Union stated that he had
 Leen misinformed as to the purpose of
 the union when office space was
 granted it some time ago. Mir. Browns letter to the president
 cf the Farmers Union followed his dis covery that literature denunciatory of cne candidate for the United States Senate and laudatory of another was being mailed out from headquarters. Mir. Brown informed Mir. Dinsmore that the Chamber of Commerce rooms could not be used for political purposes and in view of the activities of the union along this line he requested them to seek other quarters at once. DINSMORES REPLY Yesterday morning Mir Dinsmore sent a reply to Mir. Brown. Birmingham. April 1, 1920. Mir. R. A. Brown, President Cham Der of Commerce, Birmingham. Dear Sir: Your peremptory order ejecting the Farmers Edu- cational and Cooperative Union from the quarters you invited the organization to occupy was re- ceived this afternoon. To say that your action in ordering the organ ization to vacate came as a sur prise and shock is putting 1t mildly especially in view of the fact that
 We were present as your guests and had done nothing to forfeit your good opinion"
 The letter goes into an expression of views on tho senatorial situation, dis eussing some of the candidates. Returning to the discussion of the tiectment. it says:
 Tn accepting your invitation to occupy space in your quarters we did 1t with no expectation that we would be expected to surrender our independence of thought or of ac- | tion and thereby forfeit our right l to the confidence and respect of the l people of this state"
 In part 1t concludes with the state ment:
 We feel 1t proper to say that we consider your order for us to leave | your premises nothing less than a | gross insult to our organization" ! The letter is signed by P. N. Dins- l more, president of the Alabama divi- 1 sion of the Farmers Union.

featuring Dorothy Dalton, now play ing the Palace theater.
 Miss Dalton herself sets the pace by wearing some new products from her modiste that are bound to make tho women in the audience sit up and take notice. In truth, she runs the gamut of wearing apparel from the riding habit to, boudoir gown. There arc some big dance scenes and in these she fairly revels in gorgeous dresses.
 There are four very good Keith vaudeville acts on the bill, with Chief Eaglehorse, full blooded Indian baritone; Fehrman and Mcdonald, the Landlord and the Janitor, have a very funny act that will keep you in laughter while they're on the stage; Eddy and Earl q clever dancing couple, and Charles Mcleod x Co. offer q pleasing novelty.

ROSE OF NOME" AT Fox,s.

A tale of Alaskan life and love- Rose of Nome" which is a William Fox photodrama production starring Gladys Brockwell. opened three day engagement at Fox's yesterday.
 Life in the Alaskan gold fields is pictured against background beau tifui in it's rugged grandeur.
 The story is based on the dog-1ike devotion of French Canadian. a miner of high ideals and sensibilities, who recognizes in a girl at a dance hall. where he has lost his all in gambling. the saintly qualities of his conception Of the Madonna. His great love saves her from the man who would have dragged her to ruin. It is a story we'll told and one that ap- peals to all classes of people,
 Besides the Rose of Nome." the screen offerings are those two inim- itable fun makers. Mutt and Jeff in 'In Wrong" ''An Artists Muddle" and Fatty Arbuckle in His wife's Mistake"
 The vaudeville part of the prgram is far above the average. The Ha- waiian Duo arc @ tuneful pair and, with their selections from their na- tive land, were instantaneous hits with the audience.
 Robert Giles in a whistling act is the best seen or rather heard on the local stage.
 Alexander and Robinson have a style all of their own and were one of the big hits of the bill.
 Bett's Seals were great favorites. Some of their tricks are really won derful and the act is the greatest proof of what kindness can do in the teaching of animals. It is an all around good bill at Foxs this last half of the week.

Dicky said with m air of relief. then evidently realizing that he ought to make some excuse for keeping the torn fragments and inquiring about them. he said hurriedly:
 \ Plausible Excuse.
 "I wish hadn't dropped them, at that. They were pieces of Il wire from Swanson. and I tore it up before l had fairly read it. Now l am not sure of what he wants. But can wire him again or verify the telegram when get to an office"
 Swanson is one of the art editors who gave Dicky such big commis- sions. l wondered if perhaps I had been making n mountain out Of a molchill. and if the telegram were in reality what Dicky said it was.

 I longed for the moment to come when l should have leisure to it those torn pieces together.

 Skinning tomatoes this way instead of scalding them saves time and ice. The tomato is not heated through as in scalding, which means no extra heat to overcome. 1t is not neces- sary to heat water, which means q saving in time.
