ROAD ENGINEER ACT
Is DECLARED VALID

Montgomery. May ESPECIAL. Wal
idity of the act creating the office o:
road engineer of Mobile county ana
placing the supervision of all highways
of the county in his department was
upheld by the court of appeals Tuesday
afternoon when it affirmed the case of
George e. Stone, treasurer of Mobile
county, versus s. M. Adams, who had
been elected road engineer by the board
OF revenue. The act was passed at the
special session of the legislature in 1920
as general law but with a population
basis which restricted the field of oper-
alton to Mobile county.
When Mr. Adams was elected treas
urer Stone refused to pay his salary
warrant, contending that the act was un-
constitutional under a decision of the
Chiffon county. which was decided in
1920.
In another case the appellate court
held that the ndeterminate sentence act
of 1919 does not permit the imposition
OF indeterminate sentences in misde-
meanor cases. AS a result, Claude Brown,
who has been convicted of violating the
prohibition laws by the Bessemer di-
vision of the jefferson circuit court,
must be sentenced again. The court i'm
posed an indeterminate sentence of from
so to 80 days at hard labor. The court
OF appeals affirmed the conviction, but
rema nded the case to the Bessemer d.
vision for the proper sentence.

something anomalous. something almost
sacrilegious, in enforcing payment for tho
privilege Of visiting a shrine. SO, while
each of the 5000 went through the for
mality Of producing his money, there was
considerable grumbling, some low, some
loud, a few profane and all emphatic.
They started something on their return
to Washington. They singled out the
members of Congress most easy Of quick
approach, and went after them. They
got them, too.
And now, Senator Capper will introduce
bill in the Senate making the govern
ment of the United States responsible for
the maintenance of the Washington home
at Mt Vernon. And the United States
will not, according to the Capper bill,
depend for the money thus made neces-
sary on tithes collected from those who
would stand about the tomb and breath
an atmosphere of reverence II not awe.
The bill, in all probability. will be en-
acted into law. There is no outspoken
opposition.
AS a matter Of fact. 1t is reported on
very excellent authority that the his
torical and patriotic societies now in
trusted with the care of the home ana
the tomb would welcome the relief of the
United States.
There has been much work connected
with the guardianship, and sometimes
difficulty encountered in efforts to make
both ends meet" financially. And. fur
thermore, they have been embarrassed
by the periodical criticism leveled IN
their direction because of the necessity
in gathering money for tho preservation
Of the property.
Senator Chpper. in an interview,
stressed the fact that these people who
have cared for the tomb deserve a vote
of thanks.

NECESSARY TO FARMER

Knoxville, May 1S.-"Unless the ag-
ricultural interests of this country
learn the lesson and the vision of CO.
operation the tillers of the soil will
be reduced to state of peasantry like
that which has characterized Russia
for hundreds of years"
This significant statement from
President H. A. Morgan sounded the
keynote of discussion of co. operative
buying and selling among farmers
which featured the morning session OF
the East Tennessee farmer convention.
President Morgan threw himself into
the discussion upon hearing question
from a farmer in the audience in re-
gard to how much interest a farmer
might expect on the money he might
invest in a farmer cooperative buy
ing and selling agency such as was
established for the farmers of East
Tennessee in Knoxville last winter, and
whose, operations are yet infancy.

The Life Story" of most business men
covers long period of Serving
the other fellow climbing from the
bottom rung of the ladder to the top
most, but here is Life Story" that OF
Vina Ware Wood, the owner of V. w.
Wood & company, which tells a DIFF
ferent story.
Mr. Wood has very few mlestones IN
his business career, the main and practis-
cally only one being the fact that his pre-
ent business is his own, established by
him and operated by HMM other words,
the alpha and Omega" of his career.
Mr.. Wood is native Albanian who
may be pointed to with pride as an ex-
ample of what lad raised on an Ala
bama farm may, with pluck and energy
and big ambition. do.
Born in Iron City. near Admission, on
April 8, 1873 Mr.. Wood received his
earliest education at the rural county
schools Mt Iron City up to his eleventh
year.
At tho age OF Is, ne had tho chance
Of few months of schooling at Weaver
Station, and then when he should have
been going to college like other boys he
was busily engaged at something ese
his only experience outside of his present
business was employment in small
grocery for one year at salary of S25
q month.
That merely "whetted'' the appetite or
the young man however, to have a
business of his own. and so when OPP
portunity knocked at. his door, he heard
the knock very distinctly, and the next
thing that happens is that Mr.. Wood has
arrived in Birmingham and set up In
business for himself.
This was In 1901-and from that year
up to the present-just 20 years ago.
Birmingham has had no better citizen,
40 more successful merchant, and no
more loyal friend than " W. Wood.
". W. Wood &c Co., operating a
Wholesale and retail grocery, feed and
produce business. covers the entire
southern territory, and its tremendous
number of customers testify to the eff
ficiency with which the business is
conducted.
This confidence has been obtained
and held by the policy which Mr.. Wood
lives by in his dealings personally. and
which the 10 employees of the V. w.
Wood & Co. respect, namely:
'Promptnesa service. fairness.
squareness."
That is slogan worthy of the best
and it insures satisfaction wherever it
is practiced
If you talk to Mr.. Wood about big
business" he will promptly tell you
that service, quality and prices gov
ern trade, and that unless firm lives
up to this standard there is no hope
for a successful career.
Mr.. Wood belongs to the Baptist
denomination and his club activities
are associated with the 'Elks, and the
business of V. w. Wood & Co: is
4 his hobby" and is the only thing that
he is interested in lin business way)

Few men start as the Owners" of

steep and rough one so Mr.. Wood IL

ambition of the owner and the fair

tanned a splendid place in the com

Uncle Sam Improved
Railroad Methods

Washington, Feb. 26.-The claim
of railroads that they want the ma
tional agreement with shop en-
plOyes scrapped in the interest of
efficiency recalls a report by the
United States railroad administra-
tion in 1919, which hints that the
government improved on the boast
ed efficiency of railroad managers
when they had individual agree
ments and no agreements.
"From the beginning" says the
report, "the mechanical department
(of the railroad administration has
diligently endeavored to maintain
the equipment without any idea
that economies should or could be
realized by reducing maintenance
which the equipment ought to re-
ceive. Where improper practices
were found to exist action was
taken through the regional direc-
tors to have more efficient methods
adopted.
