TEACHERS TO TAKE
 READING COURSES

More than 75 teachers from the county schools have signed up to take the reading course from the state. normal school. according to an an nouncement of Prof. E. B. Erwin, as- sistant county superintendent of ed ucation Plans are being made by approximately 150 teachers to take the course offered by the University of Alabama, while another large group will take this work at Howard. and many at Birmin gham Southern.
 Tn addition. 1t Is probable that the high school pupils of the county will be organized with reference to the secondary education" said MT. Erwin. Besides. we are discussing plans to organize the. colored teachers for the reading courses under some promi- nsnt negro educator. and if this is done we will have all of the teachers of Jefferson county schools taking professional training under the dsree- tion of expert educators. This will indeed be splendid record for Jeff ferson county, and We believe this can be done without any trouble whatever"

FIND MAN HANGED.
 ID DOGWOOD TREE. NEAR NEWCASTLE.
Mystery Surrounds Death of Dairyman-Coroner Rus sum to Make Further h.
 veStigation Today

George B. Green, age about 28, was found dead hanging to a dog wood tree about 400 yards from the harn of the Bearden dairy at New castle, where he worked, late yes terday afternoon by a searching party who had been looking for him since his disappearance from the dairy Monday morning.
 According. to Coroner ]. D. Rus sum, who was called to investigate the death, there was no means of determining whether Green had committed suicide or whether he was hung by some unknown parties.
 The body was hanging to the tree by baling wire. and the hands also were tied together by the wire. They were tied by a loop knot, however, and Coroner Russum said lass night it was possible that the man had pulled the ends of tho wire together himself If he committed suicide.
 searchipg Party
 Green had been working for the Bearden dairy about two months as a milker, and appeared for work Monday morning as usual. Alter finishing milking, he told someone in the stable that he was going out to find COW that had disappeared. Nothing more was heard of him, and yesterday morning, suspecting that something had happened, Q search ing party began to loek for him.
 The party came upon the body late yesterday afternoon hanging from .l. .l tvy yt,nC from the ground. The baling wire by which it was hung was doubled. He was dressed in overalls, and his hat was found just under his feet, and his pipe q few yards away The neck was broken.
 Hands Were Tied
 Coroner Russum stated last night that he did not believe Green had been hung by robbers, as he found a valuable watch in his poclS- ct, and there was no indication of a struggle on the ground around the tree. On the other hand, it was hard to determine how he had sue ceeded in hanging himself with his hands tied No notes were found. Green was said to have been a st. ady worker during the two months he had been working at the dairy, and a bank book was found in his trunk, showing that he had begun q savings account at one of the Birmingham banks. Men at the dairy said they knew no reason why he should have committed suicide or been hung by someone else.
 The body was brought to Birming- ham by an ambulance from Johns, who answered the call with Coroner Russum. Green is said to have a sister, Miss Bessie Green, living in Sparta, Tenn, and funeral arrange p1ents will await instructions from her
 Coroner Russum will hold an in- quest this morning at his office in the courthouse

 McLendon's Attitude
 Thanking McLendon supporters for their votes. W. J. Wynn, campaign manager for McLendon. yesterday is sued a statement on the election of Monday. It follows:
 We wish to express to the many friends ana supporters of MT Mo Tendon our sincere appreciation Of their vote of confidence of yester- day. From the beginning of this campaign we have maintained that the race should be decided from one consideration only, and that is; Which man In the race does Birning : ham most need as It's head? We think that the vote of yesterday shows that Dr. Barrett's official rec ord has been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
 I've have insisted from the begin ming that all the issues in this cam paign sum themselves up in one sen tence: Efficiency against ineffici- ency,. and upon this issue the citizen ship of Birmingham has spoken In unmistakable terms In favor of D. E McLendon. We believe that pr. Bar rett has polled his full strength and that the election of yesterday merely foreshadows the landslide for Mo- Lendon which next Mondays election will disclose" G

FARM BOYS PAY FOR
 PURE-BRED CALVES
Chamber of Commerce Ex- pertinent in Fostering Cattle
 Industry Is a Success

All but five of the B. Jefferson county boys, for whom the Chamber of Commerce purchased purebred calves this spring. have retained their property and will carry the ani- mals to maturity
 All but four of the boys have paid the Chamber of Commerce for the animals and the animals are their property in fee simple.
 The whole affair was conducted on strictly business principles. The Chamber of Commerce bought the calves, paying cash. They allotted the calves to the boys at the price paid by the chamber.
 Each boy gave his note for the pur- chase price and the notes were in- dorsed by the chamber and deposited in local bank. Each young fellow had at least one other name on his paper.
 In each instance local committee of three was named to keep track of the calf and see that the boy was doing his duty by the animal. All calves were insured
 Thus the boys have gotten pure bred Jersey calves at wholesale price, have learned how to care for them ana to Value them anu nave pdiu phNh to the chamber the money advanced for their purchase
 Easier and less buslness-like meth ods were suggested in some quarters last spring when the chamber under took the enterprise, but Agricultural Agent II. L. Brown Insisted that It should be business from the word go" in order that the boys might learn something of business methods and understand that success Is based on business-like methods.
 The Jefreron County Calf club has been marked up by the agricultural committee of the chamber as its 1921 achievement
