CLAIM RELIEF FROM
 DEPRESSION IS UP TO
 COMMERCE COMMISSION
By Associated Press

Washington, September 3.-Presen- tation of testimony and arguments in the case involving freight rates on grain and hay. brought before the in- terstate commerce commission by 20 western states, was contested today with arguments by representatives of the states and shippers intended to show that relief from the depression in western agriculture rests in a ,measur with the commission.
 The hearings. dscribed by the ship pers as the most important before the commission since the general rate in- creases of last year, consumed more than two weeks, while oral argu- ments occupied a week more.
 Clyde M Reed, chairman of the western grain committee and chair man of the Kansas public utilities commission, urged, in final argument today, that the comYission before reaching a decision consider whether the railroads were being operated honestly, economically and efficiently as provided by law.
 John E. Benton, counsel for the state railroad commissions, contended that no consideration should be given to whether the railroad labor board increased or decreased wages of rail- Toad employees in fixing rates. The two boards should act separately. he said, and neither should give consid- eration to the others action in reach- ing decisions in cases under their re- spective Jurisdictions. Abnormally high wages would not justify abnor- mally high freight rates he added.

ENROLMENT N SCHOOLSOF STATE
 SHOWS INCREASE
Four More Out of Every One Hundred Were In Regular Attendance Than In the
 Previous Year
BY FRED H. GoMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age Herald 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, September 3.--(Spe. cial.) the Interesting facts regarding recent progress of educa. tion in Alabama which will be shown in the annual report of the state de- partment of education now being prepared will be the tabulation show ing that four more white children out of every. 100 enrolled in the public schools of Alabama during 1920 than in 1915. Of this number four more out of every 100 were in regu- lar attendance than in the previous year.
 The delay in the appearance of the annual report has been due to the fact that the department has not par ticipated in the appropriations for public printing this year. but has had to meet this expenditure from its own funds. according to the depart ment's statement.
 Increases in enrolment and at- tendance, together with the increased teachers salaries, which averaged s723 for men and s494 for women, placed a new burden on the school funds, said the report, which the schools were enabled to meet only because so many counties availed themselves of the opportunity of county and district taxation.
 Total Funds
 The total of all funds available for the elementary and high schools of the state in 1919-20 is given in the report as $9,751,l72, as compared with sT,258,39S the previous year. This increase of approximately S2,- 500,0 ,000 was absorbed in part by an increase of about $1,5o0,000 in the amount of salaries paid to the teach CTS. Increased cost of labor and building materials took several hun dred thousand dollars more of t"e excess of last years funds over those z of the previous year.
 In the. face of the larger demands on the school funds growing out of increased enrolment and attendance, larger teachers salaries and greater cost of repair, construction, upkeep and operation of the school plants, it was impossible to increase the school term materially. However, the report said longer, terms may be ex- pected as conditions return to nor mal This will be particularly true of the rural schools provided the funds available for those schools are not curtailed and keep pace with the increase in population.
 The department of education be- lieves the increase in school funds which will result from the equaliza- ton of tax assessments should over >ccme the increase in operating ex- penses incident to war and postwar conditions The increased amount due to the equalization of tax assess ments will be available for the scholastic year .1921-22, which will begin October 1.

KNOWLEDGE.

knowledge is the one thing some
people have almost everything but.
Some people know a great many
things that are not true, which les
sens the value of their knowledge, very
appreciably.
Some people who know very little
know they do not know, which is quite
an advantage. This is the least dan
gerous form of ignoramus there is.
If everybody who is ignorant were
sorry for what he did not know, and
if the sorrow were in proportion to
the ignorance, great many folk
would be dead of grief.
Some people can stay right around
where knowledge is on tap; where all
that is needed is to drop thought in
the slot and get bit of knowledge, yet
they never contribut the thought. That
bit Of knoweldg is SAT from them as if

NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF
METHODISTS AT DETROIT
Methodist Leaders of America To Hold
Conference Of World
Missionary Program.

Detroit, Mich. The Rev. r. J.
Wade, D. D., Corresponding Secretary
of the Committee on Conservation and
Advance of the Methodist Episcopal
church, Chicago, Illinois, announces a
national conference of the church to
consider its world wide missionary
and benevolent interests to be held in
the church house of Central Methodist
Episcopal church, Detroit, Michigan,

Dr. Wade said, "The purpose of the
conference is to assemble representa-
tives of the Methodist Episcopal
church for three days of thanksgiving,
prayer, and council, realized need
and the church's reply The confer
ence will be held for information, in
spiration and deepening of the spirit
ual life of the Methodist Episcopal
church. 1t is expected that through
this conference that America and all
the world will hear the solemn voice
of a church reiterating its loyal devo-
ton to Jesus Christ as the hope of the
world, at a time when the spiritual
forces of the world are unaroused."
The conference will review progress
of the world program outlined in the
centenary period of five years. To fin
ance this work Methodists of the Unit
ed States pledged in the Centenary
Campaign s1OS,OoO,OOO payable in five
years. DR.. Morris W. Ehnes, Treas

PROPERLY FED EWES
PRODUCE BEST LAMBS

Ewes which are properly fed from
now until lambing time and are in
good condition when that period ar
rives are more apt to give birth to
sturdy vigorous lambs and to have the
necessary amount of milk to make
their offspring grow rapidly than those
which are poorly fed during the COM
ing months, sheep specialists at the
College of Agriculture say. Being we'll
red and having an adequate supply Of
milk the ewes are less likely to dis
own their lambs than are the thin,
improperly nourished ones. Although
the ewes should not be given a fat
tening rating they should be kept in
rather high condition from now until
lambin gtime. according to L. ]. Hor-
lacher, sheep specialist Of the college.
Ewes which have considerable re-
serve Of fat when the lambs are born
come through the sucking period in
better shape than poorly fed mothers
since this is period when the de-
mands on them are so great that they
fail to maintain their
weight in spite of the fact that they
may have been we'll fed. So important
is the matter of having the animals in
good condition that in case few of
them are thin at the end of the breed
ing season they should be placed in
separate pens and given an extra
amount of feed, the specialists say.
Grass pastures, oats or wheat stub
bles and corn stalks may be utilized
for feed during the fall months Sheep
should be turne don these fields as
early as possible because the feeds
deteriorate rapidly in feeding value
lue to rains. While early-sown rye is
good to furnish succulence and causes
the ewes to take exercise 1t is not a
feed and does ont have
much fattening power.
Ordinarily 1t is profitable TO begin
feedin gthe ewes a little hay and grain
bout enc month before Landing time

One more New York society woman
has answered the lure Of the motion
picture land. This time though, It is
in a business connection rather than
that of being filmed. Mrs. J. Gilmore
Drayton, latest one Of her one-time
idle" group to join the business wom-
en- ranks, has embarked upon the en-
terprise Of making up programs Of
pictures for various kinds of occa-
sions, from childrens' parties to indus
trial expostions. The choosing and
combining of pictures, Mrs. Drayton
believes is in itself important enough
for a separate business.

John Buchalsky, iceman, is good

committing suicide He just waited.
Then when she was all ready to marry
another man, and had her engagement
ring, trousseau, marriage license, and
when all arrangements were made,
John went to the new fiance. "Ill give
you $500 to step out of this affair and
let me be the bridegroom instead"
said John. "That will more than pay
the expenses you have incurred, and
I'll get the license properly changed"
The newer fiance agreed. Then Helen
also agreed; the license was exchang-
ed and all is we'll.
