fine FOR OWNERS OF
WANDERING CHICKENS
CITY Ordinance Prescribes
Penalty for Pilgrim
ages.

There is on ordinance in Webster
City that all chickens must be pcnned
up at all times. This refers to feather
ed fowl, which, being infected with
wanderlust in the spring, are inclined
to play havoc with tender vegetables
in neighboring gardens.
City Manager Long said today that.
under the Webster City ordinance, the
chicken owner who allows his venture
some fowl to make visitations on the
property of others is liable to a fine
Of $40. He pointed out, however, that
the statute does not give the neighbor
upon whom the fowls trespass the right
to kill them.
The city manager declared that the
wanderinss Of hayward chickens are
the bane of life of city officials in the
early spring There have been no
complaints SO far this season, he
says, but there will be plenty if the
good weather continues and gardens
are put ill.,

In Memory Of Jacob Bossert,

1t is eminently just and bcfitting that
those who are living and knew them
best should pay just and affectionate
tribute to those who are summoned
from the busy activities Of life to the
untimely and speeches. silence Of the
grave. In the death Of Jacob Bossert,
Elmo Lodge Of Odd Fellows has lost
more than brother, because it and
the world have lost good man and
patriotic citizen. Resolutions and
expressions Of sympathy can little avail
the death, but it is but natural and
rropcr that We, his brother Odd Eel
lows. should express to the children
and those who were near and dear un'
to him. our profound sympathy and
cOmmisseration.
Therefore, be it resolved: that these
expressions of respect and sympathy
he made part Of the records Of our
lodge, of which he was faithful mem
Ter for many years. and that an en-
crossed copy of them be presented to
the family and that the press be furn'
isned a copy for publication.
The door bell rings, the unbidden
guest enters, the sun sets, the gloom
comes. night becomes certainty. the
past lives in memory, the future Is in
hope, the solution in the great Great
i've Power. To that power we submit
Brother Bossert with the confident
hope of known meeting in that un.
known country.

northern Atlantic markets by water and it an
nounces that "even when cars become more
plentiful, it viii continue to ship large pro-
portion OF It's product to the Atlantic ports
for interior delivery"
The only Alabama iron going to competitive
markets In worth while quantities during the
past several weeks has been that moving up the
Tennessee river. The Gulf States Cement
company at Demopolis declares that the War
rior river service not only prevented its being
closed down, but enabled it to ship its norman
production. 1t is the Warrior gateway, among
other inducements, that has caused the coun-
try's largest cement makers to seek Birming-

The waterways will last because transport
tation demands are increasing and the railroads
will never again be able to handle all that pro-
ductive America offers.

LAW AND ORDER ON A
{BUSINESS BASIS

More than a thousand business and profess
sional men who have enrolled In the law en-
forcement league and are contributing to its
financial needs have done SO with the under
standing that the league intends to remain on
the job until its work is done.
The league is not trying to create sense-
tions. In fact, it is avoiding anything that
partakes of the sensational. 1t does not wish to
be picturesque, unusual or dramatic. 1t is
bent on conservative course of action within
the law.
The league is going to be efficient. 1t has
already proved its efficiency Foggings have
lost popularity and the machinery of the law
for providing speedy administration Of justice
has been augmented.
Birmingham has arisen to an emergency
through her well balanced business and profess
sional citizenship. The lawless element is on
notice that the campaign against lawless acts
is on business footing. That has consider
ably dampened its enthusiasm.
