 Named
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Ags- Herald 22t-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, April 27--(Special)- Citizens outside of the storm area of northwest Alabama were called upon for s75.O00 by Governor Kilby Tues day for the relief and rehabilitation of the counties which were in the path of the cyclone last week. The request was made simultaneously with the ap- pointment of a chairman and vice chairman of each county in the state, who will have charge of the campaign.
 Leon c. Bradley. secretary to the governor, made the request on advices from Governor Kilby in New York, after Tom O. Smith of Birmingham, chairman of the storm relief finance committee, appointed last week. who said s75,000 was the minimum amount necessary for relief.
 Chairman Smith reported that citi- zens of Madison county had cared for their own destitute, that Colbert has done the same and that citizens of Walker Cullman and surrounding counties were taking the burden in Winston county. but that relief must he provided from outside sources for Marion and Franklin counties, where the nedVleSt uamaBe was uOHe. iie estimated that $60,O00 will be neces- sary in Marion and S15,oo0 in Franklin.
 39O ARE HOMELESS
 In Marion county eighty seven houses were destroyed, 390 persons made homeless nineteen killed and over hundred injured. In Franklin fifty-seven houses were < destroyed, forty-four badly damaged, nineteen persons killed and ninety-two injured
 County chairmen were urged by MT Smith to make prompt remittances to him in order that relief may be ob- tained as soon as possible. He said the losses have been heavy, but that many persons have declined assistance, stat ing that they can take care of them selves. The money collected will be used solely in relief and rehabilita- tion work among those who are needy No part of the funds will be used for administration, as all such expenses will be borne by the Ameri- can Red Cross, which has already con- tributed more than $10.000 in addition

The land of the sunny south, which gave us Nellie Melba and Percy Grain ger, has also bestowed on us another sweet maker of melody in Miss Evelyn Scotney who will make her appearance with the Scotti Grand Opera Company at the Jefferson theatre on May 3.
 Miss Scotney, who was born in the colony of Victoria, Australia, showed such remarkable vocal powers at an early age that she was brought under the notice of the great Australian priiua donna on the occasion of one of her visits to the land of her birth.

He used to be a pretty easy-going

Nut Butter Is Wholesome.

Cocoa butter. as nut butter is called
in England, was not accepted with en-
thusiasm by the British public when
natural butter became scarce during
the war, so the food committee of the
Royal society made some elaborate
tests of its effects on human beings.
The New York Medical Journal sum-
marizes the results, which show that
slightly less of the fat of butter
than of that of real butter is utilized
by the body; it causes no digestive
troubles; when consumed in large
quantities it has a slightly laxative eff
feet, and in general it is a safe and
wholesome food.

GOOD TIME FOR ALL
AT SCHOOL PICNIC

The picnic and program given by
the Woods school on Touley creek,
under the Twin Willow, was quite
a success. The first thing on the
program was a picnic dinner, the
principal parts being fried chicken,
pies, melons, cakes and all the other
good things that make a picnic din
ner.
While waiting for the other half
of the picnic, namely the Liberty
school, we listened to several band
selections by the Walter children,
then the following program:
Song-The Old School Bell by school
Rec.-Flower Lady-.-.Alma Fachner
Rec.-Goblins -. Earl Woods
Rec.-Leonamie -- Hulda Bach
Song-Swing Cradle, swing

We are still wondering what's the
matter with the Liberty school, as
the challenge to contests, program,
ETC., was accepted a month before
the date set. Someone suggested
placing the flag at half mast on one
of the willows in remembrance of
them. We might suppose they chose
to take the Liberty of remaining at
home rather than meet defeat, but
it would be more charitable
to attribute their absence to some
other cause.

BUGS That Birds Eat.

According to a paper on behalf of
bird protection published by the State
Horticultural society of Kansas the
bird population of that state is 256.-
100000. which every year eat enough
insects TO fill $50 trains of so box cars
each-24,000 cars of a minimum
weight of $4,000 pounds to the car.
These insect trains would be long
enough to reach from Oklahoma to Ne
braska. Reduced to pounds, Blair fig
ures that the birds. of Kansas every
year eat 576,0OO,000 pounds of insects.
1t is hard to conceive the dollars and
cents value of the insect-eating birds
to the Kansas farmer.

PLAN SCHOOL ON SHIPBOARD
Socialistic Council of Bradford, Eng
land, Is Considering the Adoption
of Remarkable Scheme.

When it became necessary to erect
a new secondary school in Bradford,
the rich wool textile center of Eng
land, the usual estimates were asked
for, and reported, in the total sum of
100000.
Socialists, who have a considerable
majority on the Bradford education
committee, at once decided to break
free from tradition, and adopted the
idea of buying a suitable seagoing ship
for that amount, one big enough for a
couple of hundred children. These
children will be sent to sea for a six
months or 12-months period, if q sub
sequent suggestion is adopted.
1t is still to be settled whether the
ship schoolhouse will remain moored
in Bradford canal docks, only going to
sea as a freighter during vacation pc
RODS. or whether it would not be In
the interests of a general education to
let the scholars see glimpses of for
eign ports, learning their languages
among natives, the ship at the same
time being loaded with cargoes that
would pay full maintenance expenses,
probably ever of the boarding of the
children.
