nual address insisted that the time hal
come for Alabama to erase the low mark
from beside its name in the list OF states.
He said this could be done by the pay
ment of better salaries to teachers, thus
obtaining teachers who were equipped
for the work sand giving an incentive
for further preparations by the construc-
ton of better school buildings which will
be comfortable for teachers and pupils
and the establishment of a system of
taxation whereby citizens of commu n
.ity may levy upon themselves whatever
taxes within reasonable limits they de-
sire for the maintenance of their school
system.
Mr.. Murphy also urged the renewal of
the school construction work, saying
tfat the abandonment of the work many
months ago had left many communities
without adequate buildings and other ia
cilities. He insisted that no school can
do the proper work and return full value
for the money contributed by the public
unless proper buildings and facilities
are provided.

Dr. Charles B. Glenn, assistant sup
ham. urged the teachers to become at
filiated with the National Educational
association and insisted that the profes
sion should call for a living wage with
out making excuses to any one for such
a request He insisted that this wage
should be paid to the persons who have
spent many years in preparing them
selves for the service.
The report Of the executive committee
Of the association showed an enrolment
of abou- six thousand and the number
OF accredited delegates in attendance ct

the annual dues of a teacher be fixed
at one dollar and that any white person
may become a member by the payment
of 81. The balance to the credit OF the
association Is $5,7Ss76.

am reminded of a most delightful little
story which was told to me during the
war by a very clever English army Of
hcer visiting in America.
I adore talking about Lloyd George
to everybody who will talk to me about
him, because l think he is such a won
derful man, and this English army Of
ficer told me this story:
-"Iloyd George tells with that boyish
merriment that makes him so gay com
panien the story of man who having
saved some one from drowning. was pre-
sented with a public testimonial. When
after the eulogies OF the mayor he was
called upon to reply, he said. Really,

as no one else was by l saw he would
be drowned If didn't save him. So ]
jumped in, swan to him, turned him
over to see that he wasn't Lloyd George
and theh pulled him QUIT"
Isn't that adorable, and don't you per-
fectly love a man with such keen sense
of humor as to tell the story on himseify
The English army officer then told me
that there was nothing especially UNI
usual in the story except the hurnor,

PAIL ARMY WORM OUTBREAK
IL CAUSING HEAVY DAMAGE.

Lexington, KY. With new out

crops OF all kinds nthe state, accord
Ing to additional warning sent out by
Harrison Garman, entomologlst Mt the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. County Agents and farmers
In all Kentucky counties have been
warned to be on the lookout for the
pests and take immediate steps TO con-
troll them as soon as they make their
appearance.
The most serious outbreaks OF the
pests have been reported from Carroll,
Washington, Woodford, Scott and Fay
cite counties. In Carroll county corn
fields were attacked by the pests, in
many cases the blades being riddled
and the worms working their way
down among the rolled blades OF the
late paintings in manner similar to
that OF the corn-ear worm. In Wash
ington county various kinds OF vegeta-
ton were attacked by the worms while
In Fayette county rye and barley were
the objects Of attack. The insects are
fond of Hungarian mil
let, rye and alfalfa with the result that
acres Of these crops are sometimes
ruined, according to the warning.
The insects appear so suddenly that
most farmers are unprepared to cope
With them, Mr.. Garman said. Spraying

The insects which have Just made
their appearance ar different pests

distinguished from them by the yellow
V-shaped mark on the front OF the

darker in color than the spring army
worms. According to the warning, the
fall army worms come from farther
south during hot summers and become
established and injurious in Kentucky
during the fall. Although they appear
late there is evidence showing that
more than one brood appears before
cold weather arrived and kills them.
The first may appear as early as Aug
