The Legislature will soon adj
journ, and we have not heard of
any good road legislation yet. 1t
is not too late to secure such, but
something ought to be done to
relieve the situation in this coun-
ty. Certainly not much is being
done under the system as we
have it, and maybe a new law,
providing for the working Of
roads under contract; making
assessments as to property and a
poll tax, would bring the desired
results. There is now available
considerable means, we UNDER
stand, but so long as there is no
definite program, and no partic-
ular plan, there will not be much
work done. II is a great pity
that people can. not forget differ
ences, and all join hands in an
effort to make progress for the
county.

anxious to have at least an eight
months free school, and to in
sure this, they have asked this
legislature to create a special
school district. In this way, a
special tax can be levied. which
with the general fund for school
purposes will insure this sort of
school. This sort of a spirit man.

The members of the Legislature
have participated in another sal
ary grab, and this time they have
put their hands in the treasury
of the state, and appropriated to
themselves, in violation of the
law and the constitution an extra
S450.00. 1t is to be used to pay
the fees of stenographers, etc.,
so the members say. The average
member of the legislature would
not spend that much for steno-
graphic work in a whole lifetime,
if he stayed in the legislature
that long. '-......s..... {. .-........-.,...

Much of the loss and annoyance
caused by breakage OF, farm equipment
may be avoided by careful inspection
and repair OF weak parts before the
seasons rush begins.
The proper time for making repairs
is during the winter and at times
when the regular farm work Is not
urgent, specialists Of the United
Mates Department Of Agriculture say.
As the season advances, implements
which will be needed for the next
farming operations should be gone over
and given any attention required to
make them ready for immediate use.

all the more important that 1t should

Aquent applications Of dark metallic
paint. consisting either of red lead or
venetian red and raw linseed oil, not
only improve the appearance of farm
implements. but add greatly to their
durability.

count, and farmers standing in the

chance Of becoming a leader In his
community than the man whose farm

Birmingham, AIa.-Those who find
1t cheaper to move thar to a rent
or meet other bills, are pretty well re-
formed in this city, Or are in process
of being weeded out in either case by
means of an ordinance so riyeted that
Offenders cannot escape. The ordi-
nance requires the owner Of every
transfer or other vehicle to report
promptly all moving to the chief of po-
lice. and entries of the same are at
once made ia a book duly alphabeted
and dated, and the book is always
open for the inspection of any and
everyone who may ask to see it.
OF course one who plans to turn
delinquent will try to conceal his iden-
tity while in the act of moving, but
the ordinance makers foresaw that
impulse and attached penalties for
false names or misleading reports,
which fairly shut out that form of
trickery. Altogether the ordinance has
worked so we'll that Birmingham has
peer solicited by other cities for copies
of the act and for the experiences I'M
der it which have made it a magic
cure for ~bifl-evasiOn. 1t is a fixture
in Birmingham, for. it has been in
force since March of 1913.

themselves over the city after the
abolishment Of the old red-liglit dis
trict.
Once there was a concerted attempt
by the transfer w~;ireh0useinen TO undo
the ordinance. They obtained a re-
straining Injunction against its en-
forcement, and went into court on the
issue of constitutionality. The Su-
preme court ruled that it was both
constitutional and reasonable. Minor
changes were made in it, not inter
fering at all with its efficiency, and
1t is here to stay, with the approval
of every reputable interest.
