TRACTORS vs.. HORSES.

1t seems cruel to put horse In a
contest against a machine, and the
death of two houses and complete ex-
haustion of half dozen other teams
which entered in competition with
tractors at the first Of this years Ma
tional Tractor Demonstration at Fargo
N. Oak, June 1880 doubtless will re-
suit in the preclusion of horses from
any future demonstrations. This was
the opinion, after the Fargo event, oil
tractor manufacturers representa-
tives who state almost unanimously
that they were through killing horses
and do not want to see another DEM
onstration where horse outfits are en-
tered"
1.-THE demonstration was distinctly
successful in its exposition of the adj
vantages of the tractor" says repre-
sentative Of the tractor men. 1.-The
horsese tenered presented a pitiful
appearance in their effort to hold up
with tractors. Owners Of the teams
we're competing for cash prizes rang
ing from $500 downward, while the
tractor exhibitor merely contested for
hoonrs."
According to the official figures the
cost of blowing, preparing and seed
ing was s1.3O per acre for the tractors
and $40 per aire for horses.

MILK SITUATION
 WORRIES OFFICIALS
Not Enough Coming to City. Possibility of Typhoid Epi-
 demic This Summer

Five thousand to $500 gallons oi milk daily constitutes the milk supply of Birmingham. approximately one-fifth of a pint per person. sny local authori- ties.
 This compares with four -fifths of a pint per person in Baltimore, Washing ton, Richmond and Louisville. In addi- tion, the collection and distribution of milk in the four cities mentioned con forms to modern standards and prac- tices and the entire amount is pas teurized.
 Although the city of Detroit has four times as much milk per person avail able as Birmingham. the commissioner Fof health laments the fact that the milk supply is not adequate in volume
 As the result of research and expert mental work relating to nutrition and nutritional values of various foods more particularly milk. Dr. E. V. Mo Collum, professor of chemical hygiene of the Johns Hopkins school of hy- giene, recently made the announcement that the race of people which will ul- timately survive and dominate all others will be that which consumes the most milk" eA
 Development of milk supplies, with the necessary sanitary safeguards, is badly needed in Birmingham, officials say. The city must awake to the dan ger of a possible epidemic. of typhoid due to impure milk. It must,not forget that the greatest epidemic of typhoid ever know in Birmingham was caused by the insanitary condition of the milk supply"

the state maintains that taking the code as whole it is the tax adjus- ters who really make the assessment and 1t was merely the ministerial duty Of the tax assessor to put the as- sessment down as made by tho adjus- ters.
 This is the first time the validity of the act has been brought to issue, 1t is stated and this Is considered as a. test case as this suit brought to re- strain the tax collector of Jefferson county from collecting the tax strikes at the right to levy this tax.
 In this particular case the amount involved is the tax on about $61 900 which is the value of the stock, after the amount already assessed, including real property, which is assessed in Coosa county. is deducted. The assess able value of real estate and other property which has been assessed is approximately $35,000, it is stated
 The outcome of this case is being watched with more than usual interest as hundreds of thousands of dollars now being collected for revenue are covered by this section of the revenue act. A substantial portion of the city and county revenues will be cut off if the law is held invalid. Attorney Gen eral Harwell c. Davis of Alabama rep- sented the state while Gus Benners of the firm of Percy, Benners & Burr represented the complainant.

Judge Greene Takes Tax
 Case Under AdUisement

Arguments on the petition to re- strain James F. Hawkins, tax collector of. Jefferson county. from selling or at tempting to sell 977 shares of stock, into which the capital stock of the Ceylon company is divided, in order to satisfy taxes in the amount of s2,01T were heard yesterday by Judge Dan A. Greene. At the conclusion of which the matter was taken under advise ment by the court.
 Petition for an injunction was filed by the Ceylon company in the chan cery division of the circuit court sev- eral weeks ago. According to the a1- legations of the bill. the amount of taxes claimed is due for 1920, but that the corporation pays a tax on it's fran chise or, intangible property. It is all leged in the petition that the tax for 1920 was paid, consequently, the peti- tion alleges it's shares of stock are not subject to taxation.
 The complainant claimed that 1t is exempt from the payment of the tax as the property was not assessed hy the tax assessor as required under Section 12 of the revenue act but by the tax adjusters. The fact that the tax adjusters of the county made the assessment makes that section of the revenue act invalid. according to the claims of the Ceylon company.
 While admitting that the assessment should have been made by the assessor,

FINAL SETTLEMENT
 NOT YET IN SIGHT
Birmingham and Mobile Plants of Steel Corporation Await
 Federal Action

H. L. Britain, president of the Bir- mingham Steel corporation and the Mobile Shipbuilding company. states that the Birmingham and Mobile plants are both waiting on finaleset- tlement with the government before either can fully perform it's mission in times of peace.
 They are both fine Ilants," said Mir Britain, and they are being kept in good shape pending the time when we have final settlement with the government. The Birmingham plant is engaged in the manufacture of struc- tural steel and has been steadily en- gagged in that line ever since com pleting it's quota for the shipbuilding yards at Mobile. ss
 When the government will settle with us, I do not know. I have been making every effort to bring that to head since January, 1919, ~but we have not yet succeeded. Pending set clement. we will conserve what we have and let nothing go to rust.
 Our Savannah shipbuilding plant is doing very well. We are making steel barges and other craft there.
 T take a reasonable pride in what I have been able to do for my native state and especially the home of my boyhood, Birmingham. The. plant. which we built here. is an excellent one and has given splendid account of itself. It will do still finer work when we have separated entirely from the government.
 Altogether my associates and my self brought more than $100. 0.00o.o0o to the south during the war and incident to it. The total was divided between the Birmingham mill and the ship building plants at Mobile. Savannah. Ga. and Jacksonville, Fla. The Mobile end was a very considerable part of 1t. We built dozen steel vessels and other craft there. Birmingham Steel corporation furnished the shapes
 We are very anxious to close with, the government and hope for more dispatch in that direction than we have met with"
