MERIDIAN ID VOTE
 ON NEW HOSPITAL.
City Badly In Need of More Room and Hope to Erect '
 Large Building

Meridian, June Especial. )-.rhe matter having been brought to the attention of the city council by com mittees from the board of trade. Ro- tary and Exchange clubs and the Women's Civic league. motion has been adopted instructing the city at torney to draft an ordinance provid- ing for a bond issue not to exceed $200,000 for building a new and mod ern building for the Matty Hersee Charity hospital. The ordinance is to be submitted to vote of the qualified electors for ratification as early as possible. Committees inves- tigating the present Matty Hersee hospital building stated to the coun- Gil that it was badly in need of re- pair, and that it was entirely inade- quate to meet the demands.
 Many people from various parts Of the state in the past several weeks have been denied admittance for treatment because of the overcrowd- cd condition, they said: and to con- tinue operating the institution in it's present condition would be a crying shame to suffering humanity.
 Mayor John w. Parker refused to vote for the bond ordinance until he could be assured that the state legis- lature would appropriate sufficient funds for it's maintenance. and until he had further time to go into the matter of the cost of such building as would meet the demands, declar- ing that it would add a burden of ad- ditional taxation on citizens. The motion was passed, however, over his protest, and voters are to decide l.

 NOW Is SEC0ND-CLASS|

Fort Payne. June s.-(Special.)- Postmaster W. V. Jacoway has just received the official order from the postoffice department advancing tho Fort Payne postoffice from third to second class, effective July 1.
 The advancement to second class is very gratifying to Postmaster Jacoway, who has seen the receipts of his office increase 100 per cent during the six years he has been postmaster at this place.
 It is planned to open the postof- flee windows so minutes earlier .n the morning asnd to keep the office open for the receipt and dispatch of mail matter until D, m.

 The employees will all be under the classified civil service eight-hour law and will be allowed 15 days vacation during the year as well as compensatory time for Sunday anG holiday service performed by them.
 Since the first of year the local postoffice has occupied new quar- ters which are equipped with splen- did fixtures and furniture. With the new equipment and the second-class advantages Fort Payne will soon have one of the best equipped and operated postoffices in the state.

P|CKENS COUNTY
 STRONG FOR ROADS

Carrollton, June 7-(SpeciaL)-A large number of representative citi- gems from over Piekens county gath cred at the courthouse here this week in mass meeting to consider the proposition of voting s2o.oOo in bonds for the construction of good roads in the county. This order was recently made by the commission CTS court. calling an election for June 27. and some opposition devel- oped in the county as to the extra s1O0. GOO.
 The mass meeting was first called for the purpose of forming plans For an intensive campaign in the inter- est of the bond issue, but later an other call was sent out by the oppo- nents of the issue for mass meet ing on the same date and they were held jointly. the commissioners court being in session and hearing the com plaints against the extra amount. Only two short talks were made in opposition to the issue, and the com. missioners did not deem this oppo- sition sufficiently strong to rescind their former action, and they voted unanimously on the s2oo, 900.
 Citizens immediately went into or ganization for the purpose of making a thorough campaign favorable to the bond issue, with NJ Johnson. cashier of the Bank of Carrollton. as chair man. Much enthusiasm was mani tested in favor of the bond issue by the citizens present and no fear as to the final outcome of the cleo ton

cabinet of the President.
 The ajority of the cabinet off, ficers, and it is suspected that the President is identically inclined, holds that the bloc stands for class legisla- ton, and that its existence tends to demolish that line which has always separated the two great parties or the country.
 The minority members, headed, it is understood, by Herbert c. Hoover. openly look with favor on the bloc and it's purposes. MT Hoover is said to hold that no country is happy or prosperous unless it's farmers are happy and prosperous.
 This division has found expression in the newspapers of Washington The Post. which poses. whether with authority or not, it is uncertain, as the organ of the admin istration, publicly regrets the exis- tence of the bloc. It argues. first, that it stands for class legislation, and will lead to the formation or other bloc for special interests; and secondly, that it will have tendency to break down parties, whereas the President has declared his belief In government by parties.
 The Herald, which is regarded as the mouthpiece of Herbert c. Hoover, one if not it's principle owner, up- holds and applauds the bloc. It ar gues that it stands for the farmers and insists that no country can pc prosperous unless it's producers are prosperous.
 The Herald points out the two out standing needs of the farmers. wioer credits and a reduction in transpor- tation rates, and makes the point that the bloc will be able to bring about both if it desires.
 The coalition between southern ana western senators does not embrace Tn its folds all members from those sec tions It is evident that it desires to proceed with no more than one sen ator from each of the essential asri- cultural states. Thus in the south Senator Harris represents Georgia in the bloc, Senator Smith. South Caro- lima, and Senator Heflin, Alabama The strength of the bloc. however is double it's actual membership. For when the voting takes place. Senator Watson of Georgia. Senator Under. wood of Alabama and Senator Dial of South Carolina will support the leg islation desired by the farming or ganizations.
 The "agrarian bloc" will not be confined to the Senate, it is indicated. today. Western and southern house members will organize. also, it is un- derstood.

COLLEGE CREAMERY
 DOES GOOD BUSINESS

Auburn. June B. Especially Under the management of the ami nal husbandry department and more particularly Prof. W. H. Eaton, dairy husbandman, the college creamery did a good business during the month Of May. which was the first solid month of operation since reopening, April 9. and those who are in charge are very optimistic about it's future. Professor Eaton states that when this creamery closed in March, 1920. its average monthly output of butter was about 4.000 pounds and that dur ing the month of May this year the output was 5000 pounds with pros- poets good for it's going back to it's old output in 30 or SO days.
 Another important feature is that all the old patrons are now back on the list and with the general in- creased interest in dairying new cream shippers are expected from time to time. The present list in- cludes 3S farmers from Lee, Cham bers, Tallapoosa, Bullock and Elmore counties.

BELLE NINA HOLDS ]
 b|G FARMERS' MEET
Get Away to Flying Start for Branch of Farm Bureau
 With Bishop as Speaker

Belle Nina, June S.-(Special)-The first step toward the actual secur- ing of members in the proposed Limestone county farm bureau started off in fine shape here yes terday. when 25o farmers attended barbecue and field demonstration for the purpose of giving the farm bu- reau big kick off" and hasten it's development in the county.
 This barbecue and demonstration was staged by the people of Belle Nina and adjoining communities in cooperation with County Agent Fred Stewart, and in addition to the regu- lar exercises highly instructive ad- dress was delivered by R. c. Bishop of the extension service at Auburn,
 MT. Bishops address was along the llne of more profitable agriculture as result of richer soils, more eco nomical production. the use of more hay, grazing crops and live stock ana finally, greater cooperation amons the farmers, merchants and profess sional men in the marketing of crops so as to put them on the market gradually in first-class condition. thereby securing the highest pric. and distributing the farmers in come over the entire year. g
 J. F. Lyons. of the American Farm Bureau Federation. who is in charge of the membership drive in this county. was present and after hear ing the farm bureau explained, 5U members were secured which is con sidered a great number for the first day, but had time permitted. fully 50 more would have been secur su.
 A noticeable feature in connection
 with this meeting was the fact that representative farmers from both Madison and Lauderdale, as well as Limestone, were present and it could be seen that it is only a matter ot time until most of the north Alabama counties will be farm bureau coun- ties. since Lauderdale already has the largest farm bureau in the state and Limestone expects to equal or perhaps pass what has been accom- plished in Lauderdale
