COUNTY TEACHERS
 ID BE PAID IN CASH
Banks and Local Concerns Aid County Board to
 Meet Ply Rolls

Arrangements have been made by the Jefferson county board of educa- tion to borrow money with which. to pay the teachers in the county schools in cash Saturday Several banks and local concerns have come to the aid of the board and have loaned the money to meet the pay rolls for the eighth and ninth months of the school term
 This announcement was made yes terday afternoon by N. R. Baker, coun- .ty superintendent of education, who stated that the board would have asked the teachers to accept county notes if the money could not have been borrowed.
 When it was found that we would rot be able to meet the pay rolls for the last two months of school, the only means we had was to ask the teachers to take notes said pr. Baker. How ever, a few days ago while at Warrior mentioned the fact to the banker there. and he agreed to lend the board the money to pay the teachers in that section Banks at Leeds Bessemer and Birmingham responded well, the cor~ porations in this district interested in the county schools agreed to lend money to meet the pay rolls, and Louis Pizitz, local merchant, learning of the financial straits of the board of- fered to lend us money. In this way we were able to pay the teachers in cash. This shows what splendid CO., operation the board is receiving, and We are most gratified in having the money loaned us'

HA|LSTONES LARGE
 AS HEN EGGS FALL
 IN JOHNS AND ADGER.
Terrific HailStorm Strikes the Blue Creek Region-MuCh Damage to Property Is
 Reported

Residents of Johns and Adger and people living in other communities in that section of Jefferson county this morning will probably be busily en- gagged in trying to repair the damage to the houses and crops which was caused by the terrific hailstorm which struck those towns yesterday after noon.
 The storm commenced bout 2.15 o'clock and lasted for more than 20 minutes. Peo. in the open were forced to seek shelter wherever they could find it, for the hail was the largest, it is said. that has ever fallen in that section of the county.
 Some of the haiIstones were as
 large as hen eggs, and In places,
 where there was drift and in
 ditches and holIows alongside the
 roads, the hail was banked up sev-
 ernI feet deep. Limbs from trees
 were torn off and practically ev-
 cry residence around Johns yester-
 day afternoon suffered damage.
 FORCED TO SHELTER
 M. l. Harper, of Tuscaloosa, and A. M. Brown of Reform were passing through the country in an au- tomobile to Birmingham They had stopped at Johns when the worst of the hailstomr struck there. They were forced to seek shelter in a nearby house and the cloth top on their auto mobile was torn almost to shreds
 They stated that some of the
 haiIstones were as large base
 baIls and broke practically every
 thing they came in contact with.
 The men brought bucket of the
 hail to Birmingham and, when
 they carried it into The Age
 Herald office more than six hours
 after the haiistOrm. the balls of
 hail were still as large as hen eggs.
 No one is believed to have been in- jured by the falling hail and the chief damage was done to the roofs of houses and the tress and crops.
 VERIFIED BY DESHAZO
 John M. DeShazo, local business man, verified the statements about the storm, having passed through the section soon after it was over. He was returning from Tuscaloosa by auto mobile and saw evidences of the dam age done.
 Tt was the severest hailstorm I ever heard of" said MT. DeShazo last night and fell heaviest around Adger Sumter, Johns and Yolande. Several people living in that section of the country said that the hail that fell was bigger around than dollar, and one man said he weighed one and that it weighed half pound
 Where a drift was, the hail could be picked up by the shovelful and at ,t,fe !, ,1.a Ia, of the hail balls made a hole through the roof of his house 1 am glad that did not run into any of it myself, for l don't suppose that the frail top of my car would have afforded me much protection"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-05-12

the petition was put up to the cit- izcDS and defeated.
 eve want it clearly understood we arc not fighting the city conn tnission.r snid MT. stulI. ''The coniiaissiOn is powerIess to act without vote of the people. The people have elected to have no Sunday movies when the question wHs Inst brought up. and 1t Is now m to tbc people tO decide whether we will have some place to go on sunday.
 sLabor has no quarrel with the city commission because they told us we could not open a moving picture show on Sunday for the benefit of suffering women and children of the district. They were poweriess to net. because it was in direct violation of the ordi- nance indorsed by the people.
 "on the contrary, the commits sion has been generous to us in giving us the services of the muni- cipal band and Woodrow Wilson park for n benefit concert sIinst sunday. They also told ITS just how to remedy the situntion--by presenting a petition asking the calling of nn initiative election"

JOHN D." SPLITS
 WITH UNCLE SAM

The greater part of John D.. Rockefeller's income for 1920 will probably go to the govern ment through the operation of the Income and Sur Taxes ac- cording to the Hackensack. New Jersey, Record. The
 Record roughly estimates Rock
 efeller's gross income for 1920
 at $43,OOO,OOO.
 "No one outside of the Treas
 ury Department, however, need
 take any great satisfaction in
 the situation," the Record con- ] tinues.
 with all due regard for the use MT. Rockefeller makes of
 his wealth, which is on the
 whole beneficial, 1t must be ad- n1itted that it is far better for 10000 families to get $2,OOO i apiece, or for 10000 to get S4,OOO apiece,e than for one family to get it all. It would be better socially.
 "Also provided the practice of stock investment were spread around along with the money, it would be far better economically. The 10000 or 10000 families, by pooling their savings. could provide cap ital for big undertakings just as MT. Rockefeller does, only dem ocratically. without any danger ous centralization of power.
 "The tendency is in that di- rection now. The ownership of big corporations is diffused more widely among the people. Many great fortunes are piling up, but along with them is de- veloping the system which will pull them down, through pro- income and inheri- tance taxes. 1t is not likely. therefore, that the next gener- ation will have any Rockefel- lers.''
 The surest way for America to develope $2,OOO incomes and to develop capitalists among it's citizens is through saving and safe investment. That way is open to all.
