BUFFALO ON THE INCREASE
Latest Reports Show That the Animal
Is Not Likely to Become Extinct
=. at Any Rate. ,.g.r

The fear that existed not long ago
lest the native buffalo would soon be-
come extinct is dispelled by report Of
the American, Bison society, which
states that there were 1898 wild and
tame buffalo In the United States In
January, 1920. This is an increase OF
about 300 per cent since 1908. in which
year there were 1,116 wild and tame
buffalo in this. county. =
: OF the nine government-owned herds,
two Of the largest under the care OF the
United States Department Of Agrtcul'
ture are located in the Wichita nation.
al game preserve, Oklahoma, and on
the national bison range at Dixon.
Mont. The herd on the Wichita pre-
serve now numbers 154, including ~
calves Of this year. In this herd four
bulls and IL cows are ten years Of age
or over, and one COW Is twenty-nine
years old. The Is animals that con-
stituted the original Wichita herd calAs
from the New York Geological park.
It is planned this year to dispose o.
some of the surplus buffalo in the gov
ernment herds in, accordance with the
provisions made by the 1919 appropria-
.tional bin for their care. Public parks
and municipalities are the largest pa
irons. By distributing the animals
over the country, If. disease or mis-.
fortune overtakes the main herds, there
still will be stock left with which
groups could be built up again.

These bonds are po- ton of the $5,000,O0o worth of bonds voted at g special election last Feb ruary. This is the third attempt to dispose of them, the other two fali- ing because there was not bid over 95 per cent of the par value.
 Several days ago Judge pan A. Greene. presiding judge of the circuit court, following the hearing of peti- ton for aa injunction to restrain the board from selling bonds below par; ruled that the acts passed by the Ala bama legislature at it's special session in 1920 allowing bonds to be disposed of for less than par were valid.
 These bonds offered for sale today are per cent semi-annual road im- proyement bonds, maturing $150,000 April i. 1927: s2oO.O0O April 1, 1928; $200. 900 April 1. 1929. and s100,00o April l, 1880, all bearing the date of April l, 1920.

SODAWATER, WATCHES,
 CIGARETTES AND CANDY co N STI I U TE LOOT

Burglars with thirst entered and robbed the German Gammill drug store. 2s3o Second avenue, north, shortly before daylight yesterday morning. They burst open the front door of the store and left it stand ing open all the time they were in- side.
 Immediately upon entering they went to the soda fountain and made drinks. Police authorities believe there were three of them. because three glasses were found on the counter later that morning when the store was opened for business.
 Evidently failing to find the "kick'' they desired in the soda water, the burglars took it out on nearby showcase. which was filled with watches. They kicked out the back of the showcase and made away with three dozen watches valued at $15O
 Then they went over to the tobacco counter and helped themselves to smokes. Several plugs of tobacc and four cartons of Camel cigarettes were reported missing to the police when they investigated later.
 Judging from the way the stock was tumbled up, police officers say the robbers next set in to ransack- ing the store to see if there was any thing else they wanted. The perfume counter and the drug section in the rear of the store was next visited, but nothing was reported missing.
 Then the burglars evidently decided that they had a sweet tooth which had to be satisfied. They took some of the candy. too, for three boxes were found later to be missing Then they left the store and the last one to leave pulled the front door shut.

RUSH IS NOW 0N
 ID PAY POLL TAX
As Time Limit to Pay Tax Draws Near Usual Rush
 Prevails

More than 500 qualified electors paid their poll tax yesterday. All day there was a steady stream of prospective voters going into the office of James F Hawkins county tax collector, to quali- fy as such.
 There are only F more days left in which to pay this franchise tax and all persons who have not paid before Febrll- ary 1 will have their names dropped from the voting lists of the county
 It is estimated that only about 12,000 persons have paid their poll tax up to date although there are approximately 52,000 voters in Jefferson county How ever it is pointed out that quite a num- Der of these voters are more than 45 years of age and are not required to pay the tax.
 Of the number who have already se- cured their tax receipts it is estimated that about 5000 are women. A large num- Der of men have paid poll tax for as far back as 1901.
 This is quiet year according to of- fic;als of the tax collectors office, and as there are no important elections many people are not paying any attention to the payment of poll tax. They stated that some voters lose interest on off years. but that they usually make up for it on years the general elections are held

Dk. HERBEKI ADAMS GlbbONc
 Herbert Adams Gibbons, who Is to lecture at the Womens club Wednes- day, is an author, a teacher, lec- turer and journalist with series of world scoops" to his credit.
 Such scoop IS the one he secured in 1909 for the New York Herald when he covered the Turkish massacres. Again, he came out of the Catalonian revolution with his story two days ahead of the other newspaper men ta feat he accomplished by chartering a steamer instead of waiting for the regular boat service). But at no time was his genius for always being on Z the spot more remarkable than during the World war, which he covered, not only on the western front, but in Italy and the near east.
 During the peace conference pr. Gib- bons' acquaintance with European af- fairs and with many of the leading statesmen gave him position of com manding importance among newspa- per pondence.
 pr. Gibbons is the author of many books, of which the most recent is his Life Of Venizelos," former premier of Greece, and friend of long stand ing. He comes here under the aus pices of the Birmingham Lyceum as- sociation to lecture on 'Venizelos and Greater Greece He is especially com cerned with the activities of Venizelos, which have had an international sig nificance. He devotes no fhore than q chapter in his biography to the labors of the statesman in the internal re- organization, development and admin istration of Greece
 pr. Gibbons is perhaps the leading American authority on international affairs
