ground out of shape almost as soon as they were repaired
 In regard to the repairs of paved streets, the situation is not so perplex- ing. Less than the amount appropriated has been spent for repairs on paved streets. Principally this is due to the fact that the engineering department could not and would not attempt repairs on bituminous surfacing that was wet. As the engineer has previously explained, to repair holes In such surfaclng, the material of the street must be dry, and dry for several days, befofe the intro- duction of new material that will amalga- mate with the old surfacing can be eff fected.

REPUBLICANS LOOK
 FOR FINE SHOWING
 HERE IN NOVEMBER
Announce Many Registra- tions In Several Parts of State-S0me Situations
 Are Mixed

When the republican execu- tive committee for Jefferson county meets at noon next Fri day it will call a convention for the purpose of nominating a full county ticket, according to information coming from members of the committee.
 The Ninth district commit tee will meet at the same time and order a convention at which two delegates to the re- publican national convention will be selected and candi- date for representative in Con- gress nominated.
 The republicans plan to contest ev- cry office in the state to be filled at the November election whether state, district or county, leading members of the committee say They claim to have registered 5000 voters in Jefferson county during the recent registration period and with these added to the 5000 already registered they hope to make better showing next Novem- Der than at any election in recent years
 Seventh district republicans in Bir- ,mingham this week claim to have reg istered 10 900 republicans in that dis trict, and they are counting on elect ing one of their party to Congress next November.
 The precinct meetings will be held on May II, the same day the demo- cratic primaries takes place, and the county and district conventions will be held two or three days later.

Tor the purpose of aS%certaining the

done flong this line at the Indiana,
New York. Iowa. Wisconsin and On
tario experiment stations shows that
young pigs. that is. pigs weighing less

as three pounds of skim milk per
pound of grain. and by grain we mean
any one of the cereals fed singly, or
a number Of them together. As pigs
grow older the amount OF skim milk
should be reduced TO about two pounds
per pound OF grain. The reason for
this is that less protein is required AS
