Bessemer, August 4.-(SpeciaL "A board of trade will be organized by Bessemer business men, according to decision made at the Rotary club today. NJ. J. Brooks, president of the club, appointed committee from the Rotary club who will meet with a committee from the Kiwanis club and with other citizens at an early date to make the final plans for the or ganization.
 Howe Price made a talk at the meeting today on "A Board of Trade for Bessemer," in which he brought out the fact that such an organiza- tion would be a great asset in Bes- semer's commercial improvement and extension and besides being a strong factor in bringing new business and industries to the city, would, by CO., operation with the industries already established, add materially to the business growth of the community.
 meeting will be called early next week when representatives from all branches of business and members of the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs will arrange the details of the organiza- tion.
 A short programme of song was enjoyed by the Rotarians today con- tributed by Mrs. White Hornsby. Mrs. L. L. Vann was the accompanist for Mrs. Hornsby.

ReRt Reductions

M
 Rents in Bessemer have decreased until in the best residence sections of the city they are almost at normal prices, according to real estate agents of the city.
 The greatest reductions have been made in the rent of various apart ment houses which for some time were considered the highest renting property in the city, reductions in some instances amounting to $15 and S20 a month.
 Tn the business section of the city where tenants have long leases there mas not been such a reduction, ex- cept in certain cases the owner has voluntarily made a reduction One in- stance was cited by one of the real estate men in which the rent of a store was S125 8 month, and the owner, realizing that owing to changed conditions this would be dif- flcult to pay, lowered it to s10O. The fact that so many new homes are being built at this time in Bessemer has a tendency to lower the rents of residences.
 The new home of W. J. Brooks on Berkley avenue is being rapidly com pleted. pr. and Mrs w. E. Pegram have bought a home on Arlington avenue and will move into 1t as soon as the improvements are finished. pr. and Mrs. V. H. Ragsdale will move into their new home on Clarendon avenue September l. MT. and Mrs. Henry Hurd have taken possession of their lovely new bungalow on clarendon avenue, and other homes Will be completed by October l.

DON'T KICK BE A NATIONAL
BANK

There is a very useful law in the
United States by which national
bank can issue currency money up
on depositing the equivalent in Uni
ted States bonds in United States
Treasury. The bank continues to
own the bonds and draw the reg
ular interest on them while they
are still in Uncle Sans custody.
The money issued by the bank
reaches all of us in SIS, so and $50
notes, and we pass thhem every
where at 100 cents on the dollar.
That's what United States Bonds
will do for a national Bank.
Liberty bonds are also United
States government bonds for which
the people paid Uncle Sam 100 cents
on the dollar. But although owners
of Liberty Bonds DO not ask for the
favor of issuing money on such
bonds, when the time comes that
they want TO sell them, interest and
all, get much needed cash for them
they have to accept considerably

FIELD-SELECTED SEED
GIVES MORE CORN THAN
THAT PICKED FROM BIN

Practically all experiment sta
tons in corn growing states as well
as scores of farmers in every state
have shown by actual tests that
field-selected corn given proper
care after gathering gives highly
profitable increases in yield over
ordinary crib selected seed, accord
ing to +. ]. Kinney, crops specialist
at the Kentucky Agricultural Exper-
iment Station. The increased yields
due to selected seed vary from year
to year, being greatest when the or
binary crop is late in maturing and
subject to hard freezing before
thoroughly dry. AS has been point
ed out, the termination of corn con-
tanning a large percentage of mois-.
ture may be partially or even entire
ly destroyed by hard freezing. Even
when the termination is apparently
good a large percentage of the plants
NAV be weak and subject to insect
and disease attacks. Corn gathered
early from healthy, vigorous stalks
and stored so that it may dry quick
ly gives seed that terminates
promptly and produces strong,
healthy plants, the specialist said.
Field selection is better than Sc
lection at husking time for several
reasons. In the first place it per-
mits the farmer to select a type of
plant that most nearly meets the
ideal of the corn which he is grow
ing as regards the size of stalk, po-
sition of the ear on the stalk and
tile tyne of husk. I'm the second
place it permits the selection of seed
ears from plants most free from d.
scase. Recent Investigations have
shown that corn diseases, especially
root rot, takes tremendous toll and
that field selection is one way to get
seed most free from disease. The
corn selected should be from stalks
That mature normally or that are
still alive when the corn ripens. One
evidence of disease is premature dy-
ing of the stalk with the result that
cough, chaffy ears are produced.
Selection. important as it is, how
ever. is only one-nalf the job. Dry
ing the corn promptly is even more
important for seed selected with the
greatest care may give unsatlsfae
tory results if given improper iare'
Drying the ears by banging them in
well ventilated barn where mice
cannot get to them is usually the
most satisfactory ON the average
farm where there are few mouse
proof places.

SOURDOUGHS AND
ALASKA FOOD

We are informed that sourdoughs
from all parts Of the world will
gather at Dawson City shortly to
celebrate the 25th anniversary of
the Klondike.
We never met a sourdough, but
we understand they are the men who
prospect for the riches of the earth,
particularly gold. Anyway, at their
celebration nothing but the pro
duets of the Yukon will be served
at their feasts. Bread from wheat
grown in Alaska; vegetables, fruit,
beef, pork--all raised on the soil
far up toward thhe Arctic.
They DO grow fine wheat in
Alaska and they have NO TROU-
BILE raising all the fruit and vege-
tables they want.
Alaska is not the bleak country
people think it is. Some day it will
support a great population, but at
present folks are not going there
in in any number, mostly because
the territory doesn't get enough pub
fcity.
Brother Scott Boone, the new gov
ernor, is a newspaper man, and we
have notion that he will find way
to get folks interested in Alaska be-
fore his term is over.

1T MAKES A Difference
WHOSE INDIAN Is SCALPED

1t makes quite a good deal OF
difference whose Indian is plugged
full of bullet holes.
When our own half savages got
busy on our frontier and burned
and tortured and killed right and
left, American regulars, state militia
men and all and sundry who owned
rifles, took to the trails and didn't
finish until most Indians in thai
general neighborhood were good In
dians--good because dead
But when the half civilized In
dams and wholly savage and fanat-
ical Moslems of India become bloody
minded and go about assassinating
sniing, and torturing whites, the
"Friends of India" in New York, as
we'll as all radicals of both England
and America begin to talk of self
determination of native peoples.
And if England shoots up a few
hundred of her murderous Indians
Just as we used to shoot up the
same sort in the West, these funny
folks rise their voices in holy hor-
ror.
What a lot of bunk has been going
the rounds the past few years IN
the name of sacred liberty!

He emphasized li4e vital importance of the teachers work and especially of the trained teacher. He urged the need of teach CT training and stated that each Class A normal in Alabama should grad uate 500 teachers a year to supply the need for trained teachers. Dr. Claxton closed his address by an ap- peal to the students to be mission aries for the cause of education in Alabama, to help create a desire for education on the part of the people so that they will gladly be taxed to support teacher training institutions.
