Here is shown at the grave of Cor poral Emile Henckell, member of the 167th infantry, the first head stone to reach the city for the fallen heroes of the late World war.
 The stone, which stands feet high, is 1S inches wide and 4 inches thick. and is of the finest polished marble. It marks the last resting place of the young corporal who laid down his life for his country.
 The stone was sent to Rev. Carl Henckell through the kindness of Senator J. Thomas Heflin, in speed ing up the work of the graves and cemetery bureau of the quarter mas ter at Boston, and is one of the regii- lation markers to which every de- ceased soldier Is entitled.
 The stone is inscribed with the name of the soldier, the date of death, and for each Christian it con- tains cross. and for each hero of the Jewish faith a Holy Bible en- clrcled with embossed carvings.
 The American Legion, through Arthur Greenwood, is desirous that the family of each dead veteran make application to the war depart ment for their markers. so that ap- propriate exercises on Armistice Day may be held for each of them On the same occasion.

DEMOPOL|SDA| BUSINESS GROWS
Number of Cows Increases. Two CreamerieS Have Big
 Daily Output

Demopolis, August 19.-The dairy industry has shown remarkable growth in this section during the past few years. The abundant growth of many natural grasses. the presence of the boil weeyil, thus ne- cessitating some change in the one crop system of farming, and the de- sirability of a means whereby the farmer could have a monthly or semi monthly income, have all had their influence in establishing the dairy cow.
 Mild winters, alfalfa hay and pas ture, and the necessity of improving the fertility of the crop-worn fields have also led local farmers to turn to dairying. Almost every farm IS now milking few cows, and some are milking 60 and 70 head. The in CT ease in number of cows during the last year has been especially marked
 The Demopolis Creamery company, organized about five years ago with a very small initial output of butter, has grown steadily until they are now producing about 5000 pounds or butter weekly. Many of their pat rons live 30 and 40 miles distant. The quality of their butter is excel lent and for this reason, Alfalfa Brand" is able to gain and hold the butter trade. MT. D. F. Jacob, mana ger, is a firm believer in the dairy COW, and he expects to see many more of them in this section during the next year.
 Duy Co-OperatfveIy.
 The Gallon Cooperative cream cry Is comparative newcomer in this section, having commenced op- eration In the spring of 1921. This creamery always buys feed, farm machinery and supplies in car lots for the local farmers, whether they are associated with the creamery o. not. Only the cost of handling is realized on this phase of their oper- ations, put the farmers are able to save many dollars in purchase prices. In butter production. this institu- ton has progressed rapidly, until an average daily output of 1000 pounds butter has been attained.
 The creamery is now being oper- ated by Frank Ford, young dairy man of Kentucky. who lives close to the plant. MT. Ford Is milking a large number of Jerseys on his own farm. There are a number of reg istered Jersey herds being estab- lished in tfis section, and few more farmers are expecting to start reg istered herds efore another year.
 The most significant and impor- tant aspect. perhaps, to be #consid- cred in this dairy development is the attitude of the local bankers toward it. They aye strongly in favor of it and are willing to make 1t possible for any farmer to have a good dairy herd if the farmer will only do his part.

How's that for Birmingham woman right in our midst?
 Miss Mccoy is the most modest little person you'd find in a long days search But when it cones to managing large force, selecting and training assistants, maintaining discipline and high output, granting promotions so as to keep up a fine spirit with no undue strain on pay roll" she's right there.
 Conceive that she was responsible, before the armistice was signed, for all data on more than 5,000,000 sol- ders who had their lives insuredi

so many assistants, the only things she knew were:
 T never nag nor scold,
 AS long as girl or man does the work well, I am pleased.
 q repose responsibility in thosa who assist me--for every Ierson works better on account of such trust.
 T love the girls who work for me. I believe in them, and any way I can assist them. do.
 When I am provoked or angry I never speak. I wait till I size up a situation before I judge. l talk to an offending employe absolutely alone"
 Miss McCoy's job these days is of ficially being status clerk in charge of the clerical force of the United States veterans bureau" the consol- dated bureau of three agencies that heretofore handled the discharged soldier problem.
 The work requires a whole floor Of the Jefferson County Bank build inb. Here, according to Dr. Ross C. Speir, sub district medical officer. Miss Mccoy daily finds many hun dreds of things to do that will make the lot of the disabled soldier much merrier. She helps the ex-service men solve their perplexing problems with the governmental bureaus formed to treat and compensate thein for disabilities and train them in new vacations.
 Left From Montgomery
 Miss Mccoy entered government serYice from Montgomery, taking the civil service examination there. She was then summoned to Washington, and probably would have been there ..tt 1l.. s-t.- I to come home where she is with her mother, widowed sister and two brothers.
 ''I think I like Birmingham better than any southern city," smiled Miss Mccoy. And I love it because in il I can do work that is framed to help other people. That makes life worth while-gives you zest to work"
 Salary Rose
 Betty's rapid rise in Washington was not only marked by great honor, but her. salary went up from $1,000 to $2 ,000 in q years time.
 Miss Mccoy represses herself, and considers the viewpoints of other people very much worth while. This must have had a great deal to do With her success, In addition to her extreme efficiency.
 Then, too. she never takes time to be sarcastic or unkind1y critical She just works and makes way out or problems that confront her. She is devoted to Uncle Sams ser vice. and outside of it there is no other profession she would like to follow except possibly that of being a settlement worker.
 Sne has always thought she would love that-and that is just like her. For it would mean that her whole life practically belonged to humanity 24 hours a day instead of just abou. 23ik hours as 1t does now.
