LOCAL GARDENERS BEGINNING WORK Truck Growers Association Purchases Car Load of
 Onion Sets

Birmingham will be supplied with plenty of vegetables this spring, judging from the rush of farmers and truckmen on local seed stores. Harder vegetables such as beets, English peas. lettuce, spinach, and turnips are being bought in abun- dance.
 All seed stores report a large sale of Irish potatoes. They predict tha, enough "spuds" will be raised this year to supply the home market and have some to ship.
 Everybody seems determined to grow a garden this year." said George E. McVay, Jr. In addition to the harder plants we are having de- mands for tomato and pepper seeds to be planted in hot beds and the young plants afterwards transferred. Up until week ago the demand for seeds was small, owing to the wet, cold weather, but the rush began Monday and we are expecting it to continue.
 "our biggest rush for beans which is delicate plant will come a few days before Good Friday. Many per- sons are now buying day old chickens instead of going to the trouble of setting" hens. The sale of them in- dicates the approach of spring."
 Onion Sets By Wholesale
 The Truck Growers association. it was announced yesterday, has put in d order for car load of onion sets. They will be distributed to the truck growers at wholesale cost. The second order of fruit trees were received the other day.
 The Mcdonald Horst Seed and Floral company, report the sale of a large quantity of lawn grass to be used in sodding and resodding.
 Seedmen say that the sale this year for corn, peas and legumes is not as great as in former years. They attribute the slow sale of this type of seed to the fact that farmers raised plenty of their own last year and have laid away sufficient seed for planting purposes.
 While local gardners and truck men are getting ready to plant, the flow of vegetables into the markets from further south is growing larger. Excellent grades of tomatoes are on sale at all the markets. Pepper, turnips, beans. beets and tomatoes are also being received.

 According to attending physicians, Mrs. Killian and the child will be able to leave the hospital in day or so but Mr. Killian whose condition is still critical, will be unable to leave for week or ten days.
 The police are investi tigating the report that there was an explosion. but according to Mir. Killian. there was nothing in the house that would have caused an explosion.
 According to Captain Hargrove, of the West End fire station, it is be- lieved that a falling chimney was the sound heard by MT. killian, and not an explosion, as the fire is believed to have started from a defective flue
 The house was a one story frame bungalow and the flames had gained a good headway before the sleepers were aroused by the flames.

After hearing heated speeches in favor for and against the Ford and the Alabama Power company bids for Muscle Shoals, the Junior Chamber or Commerce went on record last night indorsing the offer of Henry Ford. At the same time an amendment to the resolution proposed by Walter Brewer, to condemn the Alabama Power company for its attempt to purchase the shoals property was voted down.
 The vote of the body on the amend ment as proposed by Frank Spain, although 1t was not unanimous, up holds the action of some days ago of the board of directors of the cham Der. Some members of the chamber criticized the directors on the grounds that their action was too precipitate.
 As a result last nights meeting was arranged to allow the chamber to sustain or reverse the action of the directors Logan Martin presented the side of the Alabama Power com pany and Joseph P. Mudd placed the merits of the Ford bid before the chamber.
 Defends Power Company
 Mir. Mar. in took issue with Ford for attempting to take the whole of the Gorgas steam plant an addition to which was built by the government during the war. He said that 1t now supplies 57 per cent of the company's power and that to appropriate it would prevent the company from supplying power o many industries in Alabama. He said that the com pany is going to hold that property becaIss ere is no law that can take it from the hands of the owner.
 Failure of the Alabama Power com par:, to build other dams and supply more water power was due to lack of legal authority, MT. s-artin ex- plained. He said that 1t was only in 1920 that the federal wat power

WORK STOPS WHEN l A.P.L. BAND PLAYS
Reporters Forgot Work While Serenaded by Auburn
 Boys
By MIGNoN HALL

Busy Age Herald workers were beating typewriters. The city editor was answering hurried telephone calls Citizens with lots of news in their systems were rushing forth from the elevator to await their turn to tell it. Research workers on the daily files were leafing madly through the pages to locate something or other.
 But suddenly everybody straight ened up; smiled; got supremely happy.
 The sound of sweet. siren music had broken upon the afternoon air
 Everything Dead
 The copy boy quit chewing his gum; the elevator runner gave up the job. Men operators on the lino- type machines dished the news they were writing concerning politics in New York or Lands End, and tele- phone operators deserted the padded wires.
 "Oh, joyw yelled the very prettiest woman in the building. Let me find the nearest windoww She forgot she had any urgent story to give. and an immediate engagement elsewhere.
 But she was crowded out in the mad rush, and had to fly hastily down stairs where she could get the whole sidewalk for a good view.

 No Spirit for Work
 Everybody forgot care with that er1Hf s.v, ,1xtr -t.a,r ar work going on at all except spas medically for the 15 minutes that the artists played. And when they 6ouble-flied and stamped off down the street, great was the rush-with many regrets-to get back to work.
 Those fellows must have played at least 10 good lively tunes which even Sousa couldn't have helped but stand up and pay attention to, if he had been hanging around. Some of the staff even enjoyed a fleeting dance. while in others, the music inspired the desperate urge to whistle right out loud.
 Awful Seldom Things
 It is rare that really beautiful things break the monotony of a newspaper slaves existence while on duty, and the pretty little habit that brass bands have of drifting around in front of newspaper offices is quite one of the finest things of modern civilized life.
 There was only one thing wrong with the Auburn band. It didn't stay long enough. We wish we had bandstand erected in front of the building where the members might have been enticed to hang out the whole spare time they were here.

Will Have Complete Library of Made and Sold in
 Birmingham

Birmingham Purchasing Agents association, a division of the Cham Der of Commerce. that it's members may be fully informed of what Bir- mingham produces and has to sell, has decided to secure a list of all manufacturing agencies doing busi- ness in Birmingham, together with a list of articles handled by them. This, together with complete list of Bir- mingham manufactures and what they make, will complete the associa- tion's library of information.
 This was decided on at a meeting of the program committee of the as- sociation held yesterday. J. H. Leon ard is it's chairman.
 It was suggested that question naires be sent to each purchasing agent asking that they furnish the secretary with list of everything they buy that could be manufactured here to an advantage.
 As to the program it was thought advisable to have 10-minute talks on the following subjects:
 Purchasing Agents Records
 Home Industries and How Best To Serve Them
 New Industries"
 What Can Be Manufactured Here Tc Advantage"
 Chairman Leonard will furnish the secretary with a copy of the Purchas- ing Agents Journal, and upon receipt of icla rx;l ka pared regarding the formation of the purchasing agents division, which article would be published in the journal at an early date. It was also thought advisable that an effort be made to have some officer of the National Purchasing Agents associa- : tion visit Birmingham and address the organization on matters of mu- tuaI interest

 Although the high court allowed the deputies 10 be paid out of the general fund 1t holds that the burden upon She sheriff stIll exists to make the income of the office equal the OK pepditures. Unless the sheriffs fund Is sufficient to pay the deputies the sheriff can not receive his salary.

WORLD PROHIBITION WILL BE STRESSED
State Conference of w. C. T. U. Will Take Up
 Subject
By MIGNoN HALL

'"The Woman's Christian Temper. is against the violation of the law prohibiting that whisky be placed in the hands of those whose lives it will wreck; whose bodies it will ruin
 These things will be emphasized in the law enforcement program which will be one of the main things stressed at the coming state regional conference of the W. c. T. U. when several thousand women will be rep resented by their delegates in a two day conclave.
 Next Week
 This meeting will be held Monday and Tuesday-three sessions being scheduled for the first day, and a second day.
 Mrs W. 1T. Jeffries, state president for the union, sets forth:
 ''The w. C. T. U. must carry on it's fight for law enforcement as strenu- ously as ever it has worked against liquor. For not only does the success of prohibition for the United States hinge on law enforcement, but also for other countries. With our attain ment of prohibition and suffrage which we have worked for so aggres- sively, we have entered this second and equally momentous campaign of constructive effort to hold our gains and extend our activities. We are working toward world prohibition A number of countries are ready tc start anti-liquor campaigns, but arc waiting just to know that the pro- hibition law can be made success through enforcement.
 "One of the slogans of our order therefore, is: What a privilege for you to count one in helping to ami hilate liquor traffic throughout the world.'"
 Public Invited
 'The public is invited and urged tc attend all meetings" and moreover says Mrs. Jeffries. Ut Is ardenuy ! hoped that every woman in Birming- ham who is for enforcement of the l liquor law will come and pay her Sl and sign the pledge against this vice This will help us fight"
 | Another subject for paramount in ! terest at the conference is child wei fare. For the organization is tireless | in it's efforts to advance the physical mental, social. moral, spiritual devel- opment of children. native or foreign born, and give to parents basic req sons for total abstinence as a vita prerequisite to the normal child. The unions child welfare work also seeks | to keep children from using tobaccc | and othe. narcotics.
 This Lecture Monday
 The child welfare lecture will b. given by Mrs. Elizabeth A. Perkin: the first afternoon. She is the na- l tional director for this work Tuesday morning Mrs. Francis P. Parks, na- 1 tional corresponding secretary, vii tell of law enforcement. This vii be followed by three minute con test on law enforcement and tho work of the W. c. T.

tain;ng during the term of each sheriff"
 May Go to Legislature
 II had been hoped that with the deputies being paid out of the general fund the S32,000 deficit would be wiped out in about five months and later receipts applied to the sherifrs salary. The sheriffs office turns in about $600O each month to the county.
 Under the latest interpretation it will be impossible for the sheriff to receive his salary during his term. The monthly payroll in the sheriefs office is around sS,000. The only remedy lies in change in the law at the next session of the legislature. Sheriff Hartsfield intimated some time ago that he would take his case to the legislature after the expira- ton of his term if his salary still re- maiued unpaid.

BABC0CK LAW VALID
\ ITY HELD DOUBTFUL
RAMSEY COUNTY JUDGE SAYS
ACT IS FILLED WITH
IRREGULARITIES

Minneapolis Tribune (2):-While
holding the act of the Legislature, gen
orally known as the "Babcock good
roads law,' constitutional, District
Judge Hugo tHanft in decision filed
yesterday afternoon in st. Paul, de-
clared that it is difficult for the court
to ito so, and in holding it constitution.
al is giving the act the benefit Of the
doubt.
The dccis ion declares that 'tho act
IS So full of glaring inequalities and IT.
Irregularities, seriously affecting a large
number of individuals and apparently
violating the ordinary standards con-
trolling tax measures, that it is diff
cult even to hold the act constitutions
al.''
The chaos which would result pend
ing an appeal if on appeal it should be
determined that the lower court is in
error, is realized, Judge Hanft icclar-
ed, and intimates that for that reason
he prefers to allow the Supreme court
to pass upon it.
The decision was made on the suit
brought by C. N. Dohs, St. Paul attor-
ney, who attacked the law as uncon-
stitutional and seeks Judgment for a
refundment, after paying his tax for
the state under protest.
MIR. Dohs said last night he would
appeal the case to the Supreme court
at once.
