COUNTY TEACHERS
 NAMED FOR YEAR
Board of Revenue Receives List From Dr.. Baker of
 700 Names

Nominations of about 700 teachers principals. supervisors and other ad- ministrative officers of the Jeffer- 1921-1922 were submitted to the coun- ty board of education yesterday by Dr. N. R. Baker, county superinten- dent
 Attention was called to the fact that no nominations were submitted for several assistants places and for some one-room schools where it was found best to combine these schools with larger ones in the same neigh borhood Through this plan, con- siderable saving was made despite the fact that the new salary schedule will apply during the coming session.
 An allowance of s1O,O00 has been made to offset reduction in tuition charges in Birmingham, Bessemer and Brighton and considerable in- crease in expenses will be incurred by the establishment of new positions in a number of the growing schools of the county. Superintendent Baker stated, however, that these additional expenses would be amply cared for by the natural increase in assessments.
 An effort was made to promote de- serving teachers of long service and also to place teachers in schools near their homes. It was found impossible in some instances, however, to ar- range this for the convenience of all the teachers. Due to the fact that many teachers do not resign until after the election, 25 extra teachers were recommended for election with out assignment to meet the needs and to fill any vacancies which may oc-

HERE INSPECTING RAILS FOR JAPAN S. Dana Says His Countrymen Are Poor and Peacably
 Inclined

The Japanese government has bought 5,40O tons of standard steel rails of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and 53o tons of CO., pound rails of the American Steel and Wire company.
 S. Dana of Tokio, Japan, is in the city as representative of the Japanese government and inspecting the rails as they are made and shipped to the coast for trans shipment to the orient
 Mir. Oana. who Is stopping at the Tutwiler, gave out this information last night.
 The Tennessee company has moved large tonnage of rails for the orient in the past month. Their manufacture and shipment has been a well-nigh continuous process Among other orders was one for 10000 tons of rails for the Manchurian railroad.
 MT. Oana talks interestingly of Ja- ran's political and business status. Speaking of his country he said: ->
 Japan does not like war and wants a peace settlement among all nations. There is large American colony In Japan and we feel friendly to this country. Admiral Perry first came to our country sixty years ago and helped open our ports to the outside world. Prior to that time we had closed nation, but we have been international since that time and we are In favor of open ports and trade with other nations.
 We have fought two wars with China and one with Russia, but Japan Was compelled to fight these. Since that tune many think Japan is a military nation, but 1t is mistake. We are a peace loving nation. Japan Is moro progressive than China and takes ciyi- l'zation more readily.
 We are poor nation because we have not the great natural resources that the United States has, but we are working and making progress"

 Tax Increase
 very notable item is the increase in taxes, which show up eight times greater than they were in 1909. This would indicate that the tax adjuster has not neglected the mine and quarry field. and that mines and quarries are In the forefront of the taxed, that do not escape their full burden.
 That expenses of operation have enormously increased Is shown by the items bearing on fuel and power. wages. salaries, supplies and materials.
 The statistics show subs tantial in crease in the number of enterprises and individual mines and quarries, small in- crease in the number of persons en- gagged and very large increase in the value of products and principal ex- penses of operation.

Value of the products of mines and quarries in Alabama increased from $24,35O,6 in 1909 to $59, 9,966,040 in 1919, according to summary just announced by the United States cen sus bureau.
 The increase in value of mine and quarry products for the decade is 145S per cent.

ID BEGIN CAMP PA|GN AGAINST MOONSH|NE AND SUNDAY FISHING
James A. Davis Writes Of the Movement Begun at Oak Grove for Better Law
 Enforcement

James A. Davis, principal of the Oak Grove High school in the southwestern part of Jefferson county advises The Age-Heraid that a movement has been 1naugurated for better law enforce m.ent. According to Mir. Davis, the cam paign is to be not only against moon sinners but also for strict Sunday oo- scryance including an anti-fishing crusade. MT. Davis writes:
 To The Editor of The e-Herald:
 Twenty five men of the community O. Oak Grove unanimously voted that you give them space in your columns on the following: We are in beat 1hirty-five and the representative com munity of the southeastern part of the county. We believe that Oak Grove has quite a notorious name for law evasion and since we desire to show our colors and show that we have as good men here as are to be fou.id in the country we wish you to know that on May 13, ten men quietly met at the school house and pledged them selves to see that the laws of the state
 
 prayer and determination there are several ways in which we may aid the officers of the county in the law enforcement On Friday night, May aT, fifteen more men came to our colors, bringing our membership to twenty five. In this end of the county every child knows the Sabbath, aot by his mothsrs urgent request to prepare for Sabbath school, but by the great ir- crease of cars headed for the river to spend the day fishing or by the un- usually large congregation of boys at the stores, which run full capacity on Sundays. We believe that il is just as reasonable for the hunter to pick up his gun and go hunting on Sunday, CT for the farmer to blow, or for the mail to be carried or any other break ing of the Sabbath, as it is to fish, sell goods or do anything psychoiogi- caHy speaking to hinder the sacredness of the Holy Day. We believe that the citizens will have to do great deal to get the moonshiners out of the nearby mountains and 1t is upon these principles that all are banded together and intend to stick until we see Presi- dent Harding's normalcy come back tC our community.
 We wish to acknowledge that these things leading to such ruthlessness have come from strain of the the World war; but we see no application to 1t in the social and spiritual uplift of the community. We have therefore re- solved: To clean up at home, closing stores on Sunday, aiding the prohibi- ton officers of the county to get the noonshiner, to try to stop fishing and shooting on the Warrior and enforce the Sunday laws to the letter We axe going to try to spread this movemen: to the four corners of the county and solicit your aid. Through your colum ms We wish to invite the following neigh boring mmunities--Alliance.- Huey- town. Concord Mud Creek. Big Creek and others. to meet us at Oak Grove school house on June 10. We are roine to have some good lawyers and vivi- tors make inspiring talks.
 Now is the time for all good men Ia come to the aid of their community.

 Origin of Day
 Giving credit to the women of the south for originating Memorial Day and declaring that Alabama was the first state to generally observe the day, Walter Brewer, overseas veteran, paid tribute to the idea of Memorial Day.
 Tt is little that we can do to honor the memory of the dead" declared MT. Brewer. They have lost in mortality, but have profited in immortality"
 Incidents of Civil war days were touched upon by Col. R. C.. Hewitt. We who have been on the firing line do not want another war" he declared. We pray that the peace of this great country may ever remain as q lasting tribute to those who have given their lives in it's defense"
 Nations Days
 An appeal to remember those who died that this country might be made safe for us to live in was made by Rev. J. M. Broadly. We must keep fragant our great holidays, not for gettin .gthe Sabbath" said pr.
