INTEREST IN RESULT

The result of the vote will be of great interest to ex-service men throughout the state since the question of what per- centage of the former soldiers desired compensation has long been a mooted question. Another point of great interest is the fact that almost as many men 6e- sired paid-up insurance as expressed Q preference for the cash bonus.
 Members of Congress who opposed the compensation plan of the American Le- zion have repeatedly declared that if if were granted, all the former service men and women would insist upon a cash payment. This has been denied by the legion officers and the vote in Alabama which is typical of that in states which had previously completed the vote shows that only a little more than one-third would request cash.
 In the opinion of legion officers, the fact that this number request cash in considera tion as indicative of the fact

Watch your step!

W dbSu yOul ohSP'
 Beginning at o'clock this morning, Birmingham new traffic code goes into effect. Both pedestrians and drivers of motor cars come under its provisions, when they are in the busi- ness district. Semaphore signals must be observed by all classes of traffic hereafter.
 Jaywalkers, the species which delights in making md-bock thoroughfares, will be hit hard by the new regulations, if they start this practice now. Iron-clad is the rule against crossing streets at other than the intersection with another street.
 Traffic signals which will be used by the officers are those adopted for na- tlonal use by motor organizations. One blast on the whistle serves as a warning that the direction of traffic is about to be changed Five or. six ceconds later, two blasts announces the new course of travel When the first signal sounds, pedestrians ready to cross the street should continue across. Vehicles must not attempt to continue across the inter- section unless they are immediately It the intersection

ROCK FOR HIGHWAY BUILDING
First Systematic Efforts to Determine
Value Were Made in French
Laboratory in 1873.

The first systematic attempts to de-
termine the value Of rock for road
building purposes by means Of labor
atory tests were made in France,
where In 1873 @ road materials lab
oratory was founded in the French
School Of Bridges and Roads. Here
the Deval abrasion test was adopted,
and this test with slight modifica-
ton has been accepted as standard
throughout the United States. The
test is named from it's inventor. 1t
was first used in connection with con-
tract work In the city Of Paris. Many
valuable data were collected in this
laboratory on the hardness and tough
ness of rock, and tests for these prop
critics were developed which were, in
principle, the same as those in use
today.

HOW TO KEEP HOGS HEALTHY
Among Other Things, Provide Animals
With Sanitary Quarters and
Clean WalioW.

To keep swine healthy and thrifty,
provide them with sanitary quarters
and, a clean wallow, in addition to
proper food. But when external para
sites affect hogs an effective remedy
must be used if losses are to be avoid
ed. Lice and mango mites are the
two principal kinds of external para
sites occurring amsong swine. The
mites are particularly injurious In
pigs and poorly nourished hogs. Hog
Lice and Hog Mango" is the title of
a new farmers bulletin recently issued
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture, telling specifically how to
identify the parasites and describing
effective and economical remedies.
Plans of hog wallows sand dipping
vats, together with directions for
building them, are given. For informa-
ton on this important subject, ask the

NEED FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS
Freight Congestion on Railroads Has
Emphasized Importance of Our
Country Roads.

We are being treated to a demon
stration Of what happens when the
arteries of commerce become dis
eased, congested and run down. The
lack Of adequate transportation facili-
ties on the railroads of this country
mounts into the millions of dollars in
the delays that are occasioned. Our
railway system, like our agricultural
methods, have grown up so gradually,
keeping abreast, even ahead of the de-
mands Of commerce, we have come to
look upon them as a matter of course.
But the even balance between trans
portation facilities and demands Of
commerce is easily upset, as the ex-
perience of the past few months has
demonstrated.

tation. But along with the improve

AID BOYS TO OWN PUREBREDs
Eighty Hampshire gifts Distributed
Among Club Memuers of Upton
County, Tennessee.

"a pig in a poke" generally signi-
fies bad bargain, but not to the men,
bers of the boys club of Upton conn
ty, Tennessee. Theses young business
men are quite satisfied with the pigs
they drew by lot one day last June at
COvingtOn, Tenn. Through the initia-
tive of County Agent G. S. ,Hollings-
worth. who has been untiring in his
efforts 20 perfect the pig-club work,
and with the assistance Of the Ameri-
can Hampshire Breeders association,
each OF the eight banks in Upton
county imported ten purebred Hamp-

examined the so pigs asserted that
there was really very little difference

ARGUMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Judgment Rendered Against County
Because Culvert Was Obscured
by Weed Patch.

An argument for good roads that
carries with 1t sharp punch in the
way Of substantial judgment for
damages is disclosed in recent de-
cision Of the supreme court of Wis
censin. In this case it appears that
when a machine went out of the traf-
f1c path of an old-fashioned country
road for the purpose of letting a
tractor pass 1t struck the cement
curbing at the end of culvert which
crossed the road at this point. Be-
Ing covered with weeds the obstruc-
ton was not seen until the accident
occurred. The county was held liable

filling his contract with his bank he
will return two pigs from the first lit
ter produced by his SOW, in discharge
of his mote" due the bank. The SOW,
the remaining pigs of her first litter
and all the pigs of future litters be-
come the property of the boy.
Economists argue that there Is no
good bargain-that one party or the
other is always the loser-but it Is
hard to find that fault in the pig club
boys bargain. The banks get two pigs
for one; the boys get purebred sow
and all her potential litters in return
for the care and food given the pig,
and the county of Upton is richer In
one short year by two or three hun
dred purebred pigs. Uncle Sam and
the county agent, who jointly form
sort of third party to the transaction,
have the satisfaction of knowing that
so farm boys have been given a
financial interest in agriculture and
primary business education which will
mean success in later years.

ments of the railroads there is great
need for material improvement
throughout, the land. Over the coun-

Much relief for the railroads has
