Meeting Held Last Night to Urge Every Local Auburn Man to Be on
 Hand

An enthusiastic meeting of Jefferson county Auburn men was held at the Athletic club last night, to arrange for sending. a big delegation from Bir- miqghan to the commencement exer- cises of the institution next week.
 The local Auburn men will leave Sunday afternoon over the Seminole Limited in a special coach and reasons were given by the speakers last night to show the importance of having g bigger delegation in Auburn next week than ever before from this county.
 Bill Street presided last night and talks were made by some of the best known Auburn men in town, including w. K. Terry, who is a member of the board of trustees, Jerry Gwin. William l.. White, Wv. Wood, H. E. Cox and S. R. Batson. Chairman Street, who has just returned to Auburn, told the boys of the plans the institution had under way to do great things and inn pressed upon them that their old alma mater expects every Auburn man to put his shoulder to the wheel.
 At last nights meeting a nominat- ing committee was also selected to suggest officers for the Jefferson County Auburn Alumni association for
 
 sists of Bill Street, Lonnie Munger, H. E. Cox, w. W. Wood. and William l. White. .
 At some date in the near future after commencement this committee will make it's report in connection with a special entertainment. The plans have not been fully matured for this entertainment, but those who will be in charge of it say it will be of such character that no Auburn man will be willing to miss it.
 Alumni of Auburn are very numerous in Jefferson county, because of the extensive technical employment pro- vided here and special appeal is made to all of them to make their ar engagements so that they can leave Bir- afternoon.

SAYS COUNTY MUST
 GET LOAN ID MEET
 TIE JULY PAY ROLL
Corporation Taxes Await Su- preme Court Decision and Henry Lays Case Before
 Board of Revenue

Unless some plan is adopted whereby Jefferson county can borrow money for operating expenses, M. V, Henry, county treasurer, will not be able to meet the pay roll of July 1.
 This statement was made to the hoard of revenue at it's meeting yes Iehray by MT. Henry, who stated that this resulted from the large amounts of taxes due from about 40 corpo- rations whose tax assessment was in- crea sed last year by the county board Of tax adjusters. These corporations ap- pealed from the increased assessments and the state tax commission set aside all assessments.
 Mandamus Proceedings
 The board then instituted manda- ums proceedings against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company seek ing to compel the corporation to all low members of the board to examine their books and records in order to ascertain and fix the value of the pro- perty for the purpose of tax assess ments.
 Following hearing on petition for a writ of mandamus, Judge Richard Evans denied the petition and an ap- peal was taken to the supreme court.
 While no figures are available in view of the fact that the assessments have been set aside, it, Is estimated that approximately s700,000 In taxes is due the county from these corporations. However, it Is stated that the state tax commission would not allow these corporations to pay the assessment of the year before, and being deprived of this tax money, has forced the county to borrow funds with which to pay the operating expenses.
 Await Courts Decision
 It Is expected that this money will rot be available until the case is de- cided by the supreme court and the state tax commission has fixed the as- sessment of the properties. the esti- mated value of which is 5,000,00O
 No action was taken by the board following the talk of Mfr Henry who stated the county would be able to meet the pay roll on June 1, but that some action must be taken in order that the county could pay irs employees, July l.

Acreagerin corn has increased and condition of cotton is unsatisfactory according to the weekly crop report of the American Steel and Wire company, " hich says:
 "It is still too early to predict if any damage has been done by the hot wave of the latter part of the week. Present indications are that no or at least very little damage was done to important grain crops.
 Wheat may be considered as gen orally good. The states that are re- porting wheat. as poor are not classed as wheat states
 corn is rapidly being planted ard is up ih many sections of the corn belt, and the acreage will be large as ii has been heavily augmented in the south due to the decrease in the cotton acreage.

Remember that the federal reserve hanks have only per cent of capital and surplus and per cent of the de- yosits of its member banks. to say nothing of the banks outside of the system and you can see what expan- sion was recorded. Out nation took a great joy ride. The federal reserve system found it necessary to pat on brakes, to put up the danger sign. Dis count rates were advanced.
 MT. Harding in all his recent ad- dresses has reiterated his satisfaction over the manner in which the reserve banks acted in 1920 and repeats that he has no apologies to> offer for that course of action.
 Banks and Farmers
 Mir Harding spoke of what the fe- deral reserve banks had done for the farmers, citing figures which showed that, while federal reserve bank loans have. been reduced about S1,00O, ,00o, 900 since December, there has been almost no reduction in six months agricul- tural and live stock paper. The loan reductions have come almost entirely from the large cities.
 In all the addresses which he has been making on this southern tour, Mir Harding. has expressed his un- bound admiration for the manner in which the farmers have gone to work to make new start and has made a special appeal to the banking and busi- ness interests to extend their aid and sympathy to the farmers.
 Morning Address
 With the emergency of the greatest financial crisis in the history of the United States past, business and bank = ing interests should do all in their power to aid the American farmer, hardest hit by the present period of depression, members of the civic or ganizations of Birmingham were told yesterday afternoon by MT. Harding, governor of the Fedeyal Reserve Board, when he spoke at the Southern club.
 The farmers of America were not prepared for the crash when it came, having produced their 1920 crops at the greatest cost ever known, and as a result were and are the greatest suffers from the buyers strike, Mr. Harding declared. The reactionary
