JEFFERSON HERDS ARE ALMOST FREE Tests Show Less Than One Half of One Per Cent
 TubercuIar

"We have been gratified on ascertain ing that there is less than one-half of 1 per cent of tuberculosis in the herds of cattle so far inspected in this county, said H. L. Brown. county agent and secretary of the agricultural department of the Chamber of Commerce.
 We are the more gratified at ms showing because it is a remarkably low one, so low that we were altogether greatly lsurprised."
 Mir. Brown says the experts doing the testing for tuberculosis in cattle, having completed the work with the dairy herds, have undertaken to test the cattle m each community in the county. The work IS already under way.
 q am sure the farmers of each beat will be glad to have this work done. said MT. Brown. 'IIVery man ought 10 wish to know whether he has germ spreading animal in his herd, and that IS what the test will disclose. On the other hand, it is a great pleasure to nave the test made and find that ones cattie are sound. Either way the farmer IS benefited by knowing what he has

"Pittsburg DifferentiaI" Must Be Defended Before Federal Commission, According to
 Authentic Rumor
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 300 Davidson Building

Washington, April eo.-(Special.)-1t is reported in authoritative circles to- night that the federal trade commission will cite the United -:ates Steel Cor poration tt defend the so-called Pitts burg differentiar' in setting the price of steel.
 It is the custom of the corporation purchasers of steel manufactured -n Birmingham an additional charge equal to the cost of transportation from Pittsburg to Mobile or Birmingham As a result, the purchaser pays as much for his steel as if he had ordered it from Pittsburg.
 Complaint some months ago was brought by the Birm.rgnam Civic As sociation, the Western Association of Steel Rollers, and var:ous concerns engaged in fabricatins steel. IL is re- ported tonight that t--, commission by a divided vote has decided that the complaint contained merit, and that the Steel Corporation shou.d be cited to defend itself.
 There is little question but that the controversy, if deciseo against the corporation by the commission, will go after tedious litigation, to the supreme 9 court for final adjudication. Judge F. H. Gary, chairman of the board of dl- rectors of the corporation, has taken the position that the merits of the ca SC should be determined in order that controversy might be brought to con cluSion

JUDGE SANFORD LAMENTS TENDENCY ID D|SOBEY LAWS
Federal Attorney Says Greatest Menace to Government Is Universal Disregard of
 Constituted Authority

Auburn, April 2S.-(SpeciaI) J. Universal | disregard of constituted authority and disobedience of law was declared to be the greatest menace to the government, in an address delivered here yesterday bfore the faculty and student body bs Judge T. D. Sanford. United States at tcrney and also member of Auburn beard of trustees.
 Emphasizing his argument by way of comparison. Judge Sanford said: :"
 If l should be asked today what is the greatest menace to this govern ment I would not answer the armed forces of Europe nor the ironclad naves l of any nation. I would not answer. the 1 principles of bolshevism which are be- ing propagated insidiously in every quar- ter of the globe. I would not answer, the Isle of Yap from which threaten
 ing clouo has arlsen in the Pacific. I would answer a universal disregard of constituted authority and disobedience of l law
 1 Continuing his discussion Judge Sanford referred to the fact that it was by 1 disobendience in the Garden of Eden that sin entered into the world and that as a result of this dlsobedlence we are con tinuously disobeyinS established laws and receiving in return the penalty there for. Around the hearthstones--the cor nerstones of the republic--are taught 1 the lessons of obedience or disobedience which make or mar the men of tomor- row.
 The principles of engineering, the les sons of chemistry, the laws of plant and animal life and the mysteries of cleo tricity were also declared to be vitally 1 important subjects to study, but it Is vastly more important in your youth and young manhood that you learn well the lessons of obedience to the laws of society and your amenability to consti- tuted authority, than to know all the sciences and all the literature and all l the arts created or invented or discoY- | cred by man.
 Commenting especially on laws, he urged the enforcement of every law, good or bad, because the way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it and like wise the way to receive the benefits | of a good law Is to enforce it.
 Concluding his remarks, he declared that the wave of crime which is sweep ing over the country today and which ls causing so much apprehension, is not an aftermath of the World war, but climax of a generation of lawlessness.

For Good of
 the Community

TT may seem long distance from farm Il boy with pure-bred calf to S35 suit of clothes displayed in store window in Birmingham. It is not. The calf and the suit of clothes are interchangeable terms. Each of the twenty-four boys with the pure-bred Jersey calf bought for him by the Chamber of Commerce possesses in the difference between the cost and sales price of that animal that suit of clothes with few shirts and a pair of shoes thrown in.
 So when the chambers of commerce of cities busy themselves in furthering the ln- terests of the farms they are selling the goods handled by the merchant members of the chambers. They are increasing the volume of business done by these ner- chants.
 Down in Marengo county a pig and corn club of negro boys from IF to Is years of age was formed in 1917. These fifteen black boys now have in bank to- tai of S648 the average being S43.2O. The least efficient or fortunate member of the club has S7, while the most efficient and fortunate has deposit of $15O.
 Needless to add that these fifteen negro boys are counting for the good of Ala bama more than if they did not have their pig and corn club. They are better cltl- zens for having had the Auburn experts to give them chance to become better citizens. They will buy more goods of the stores in Marengo as their earnings in- crease and they continue into manhood the practice of the thrift and the lnoWl- edge which they are acquiring.
 The young will absorb knowledge as a sponge does water, be it but provided in form suited to their years. The study of the grown-up should not be what he may be able to cram down the mental gullet of the young, but to find out what the gullet will welcome and automatically work down with relish There is plenty of the latter if the adult would but seek it.
 The Junior Chamber of Commerce is going over the voting lists at the court house to ascertain if it's members have met the qualification for membership, that is, the right to vote by having compiled to date with the conditions attached.
 The juniors want no dead wood. When they take d SCdIlU OH d ClVlC SuUJCCC CIlSy wish to be able to back it up with voting list.
 Strange that older organizations have not thought of this. The young fellows have beaten the grizzled battlers for civic righteousness and efficiency in of flee by starting at the source of efficiency and incompetency. The source is the in- different citizen with potential vote, but without an equal one.
 The juniors propose that when they register complaint of conduct of public af- fairs, their own skirts shall be clean These keen young men sense the power that votes have over vacuous wrath that finds itself only after elections in the hour of '@too late"
 This thing of getting the Boy Scouts to answer the hundred questions about Bir- mingham is first-rate. The study they will give to it will be of immense value to them and to their friends and parents whom they quiz in search of the answers They will work hard to qualify for the
