 There are now at the university about 2S0 men in the vocational school, many of whom are battle- scared and seasoned mem many are married; many will never regain the health, or the limb they lost in the World war They are men Tuscaloosa is proud to have, and since some are buying and building homes in our midst the citizens of the Druid City are glad to welcome them.

BANKHEAD WANTS TO
 RECLAIM SOUTHERN SWAMPs

Washington, July -(Speeial.)-- Some weeks ago attention was called In this correspondence to the bill-- H. R. 604S-introduced by Represen- tative w. B. Bankhead of the Tenth Alabama district, providing for na- tional policy for the reclamation of arid, cut-over, swamp and overflow lands. It was pointed out at that time that through industrious organi- zation and militant political activity, the republicans in Congress from the arid states of the west, had secured direct appropriation for the use of funds derived from the sale of pubic lands the enormous sum of S13o, 000.- 900 for the development of the arid lands of that section. Up to the pres ent time a tremendous acreage in that area has been brought into intensive cultivation, producing enormous crops of great value; 1t being estimated that the value of the lands so reclaimed at the present time is at least five times the value of the money spent by the government in their reclamation
 BanLhead Became Acquainted Mr. Bankhead had occasion to be-
 come thoroughly acquainted with this situation through his study of agri- tural problems in his support of the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant. Also knowing that in the southern states there are today unused and valueless lands, in their present condi tion, amounting to nearly 200,00o000 acres, which if drained or having the stumps removed would be equally as produc- tive as the arid lands of the west, proposed his pending bill whereby the credit of the federal government over a period of years could De extended (. ,1 o,,t ic- tricts to redeem and put into active use it's tremendous financial machin- cry whereby every dollar of money appropriated by the federal govern- ment will be repaid with interest.
 Civic Bodies Busy
 A great number of civic organiza- tions in the south have interested themselves in MT. Barkhead's meas ure. and hearings are now being had before the House committee on irri- gation of arid lands, at which wit nesses representing the chambers of commerce. agricultural and develop ment associations are being heard. The evidence which is being presented is apparently having a profound im- pression on the members of the com mittee as the point is being driven home to them that in the south by the development of the present waste lands, is the great domain in the na- tion for agricultural development. It Is further being shown that swamp lands where drained and cultivated produce tremendous yields and re- quire no fertilization.
 Inasmuch as the proposed appropri- ation is to be derived from general taxation. there is, of course. no reason why the arid states of the west should secure all of it's benefits and the southern states be deprived of their just share in the legitimate reclama-

 VESSEL CLEARS FROM MOBILE WITH RAILS

Mobile, July 1s.-(Special) )--The Charlton Hall, the first ship ever to clear from Mobile for Alaska, sailed tonight for the Panama canal. The vessel is taking 5,4O0 tons of steel rails and 342 tons of angle bars, which was manufactured in the Bir- mingham district The steel will be discharged at Seward, Alaska, it is said, and shipped inland, where it will be used in the construction of railroad lines.
 The order is said to have been for 10000 tons, and the amount carried by the Charlton Hall is only little more than half that figure.
 The ship is handled by the 18th mian Steamship lines, the same com pany which operates the ChicIasaw vessels. The cargo was shipped here from Birmingham both by rail and barge down the Warrior river. The vessel has been taking on the cargo for more than two weeks.
