ILL|TERACY WILL
 SOON BE WIPED OUT
School Census Gives Interest ing Figures on Children of
 School Age

Illiteracy among white children of school age in the Birmingham pub lie school district is comparatively low. according to the official school census report as submitted to the city educational board yesterday. The census showed that there are. 51,00O children of school ages in Birming- ham and of this number 255S are unable to read or write. Only 705 are white children.
 Dr. C. B. Glenn. superintendent of the city public schools, declared that the public schools in Birmingham have great work before them, but that with the compulsory educational law. illteracy should be wiped out in this section of the state in a few years.
 He pointed with satisfaction to that section of the report which showed that only seven children in the total enrolment of the city schools, and who have passed the age of IT, are illiterates
 The report also showed that only D per cent of white school children have graduated from the high school and only per cent of negro children

Lesson in Good Seed
 Itfs a rare thing when cheap seed are ever worth what you pay for then. The plain truth is that in most casis, the price quoted for a given seei don't mean anything or at least corFeys no accurate measurement of ther comparative value to other sapples of the same seed There is nioe pure bunk fostered upon the pe,plc in buying seed than is the eae with most any other commodity. ap1 the dealer is not always to blme, either. In the purchase of s&d, where the cost is a mere trfle ii comparison to the resulting crop, the public ought to be willing to pay for the best and it is my ex- perience that they generally get just what they pay for. A man invited me out to see his cantaloupe crop the other day to tell him what was the matter with his crop. could only tell him that his seed were badly mixed, in fact, the crop did not rep resent any variety. The seed came from fine crate of melons pur- chased last summer. From the fruit purchased, he expected somethinE extra, but the resulting crop was a lot of mongrel mixed melons of no market value. The melons were evil dently grown near other varieties and were not intended for seed. He got just what he purchased.
 About Crimson Glover
 There is a lot of people becoming interested in the annual winter grow Ing crimson clover as a cover crop, green maturing crop, for grazing ana hay. For a number of years the gov ernment, experiment stations, agri- Cultural schools and seedsmen have been preaching the great economical value of this plant to the south and it is really astonishing why 1t has taken so long to bring it to the fav- erable notice of the general public The writer was the author of bull letin No. g. first published about 35 years ago, that set forth fully the merits of this plant after a three years actual test. The difficulty in the way at present is the scarcity and nigh price of good seed. There IS but little seed produced in the United States. most of the producing section being confined to east Ten Tgessee. This year the plant, in com mon with red clover, was badly in- fested with a fungus disease, the seed yield small and of poor quality Extra fine, plump seed is being i'm l;orted from France and is costing the dealer at interior points about IS cents per pound. French seed will have to bring 20 to 22 cents per ppund, but 5 pounds of extra quality will produce good stand on an acre and this cost should not stop any

MILADY FAIR CREATES NEW VOCATION
 AS MISTRESS-AT-ARMS ON U. S. LINERS

4 recent innovation and addition to the personnel on board the ships operated by the United States Lines which has attained instant appreciation among all passengers. was recently accomplished through the efforts of General Manager Thomas H. Ross bottom.
 Heretofore, every ship has had its Master-at-Arms, appointed and em- powered to preserve peace and en- force discipline on the steamers. Realizing the need of new factor in ocean travel, General Manager Ross bottom has ordered the appointment of Mistress-at-Arms, who holds the same powers as Master-at-Arms. but whose varied and exaeting duties re- auire a woman's tact and understand ing.
 She is in fact the ships chaperon and her duties take her from the first cabin to the third where she is ever ready to advise and look after the wei. fare and safe voyage of all girls who are travelling alone.
 That she exerts soothing influence in other parts of the ship, was recent ly proven on the steamship President Roosevelt, on it's last trip from Eu- rope.
 The Mistress-at-Arms was just f. nishing telling some goodnight sea tales to a group of kiddies. when she heard voices raised in an argument on the forward deck. Always alert, she quickly hustled the kiddies to bed and hurried out to see what the com motion was all about.
 Two sailors were vehemently and positively claiming the ownership of a small stick of shaving soap. This was indeed surprise to all who were watching, because the sailors had usp- ally beer content Co thoroughly scrub themselves in place of making so much fuss about shaving.
 The Mistress-at-Arms rushed be tween them and asked them what the trouble was, little realizing that t was due to her presence on board that the men were taking more interest in sar. torial affairs It is needless to say that both were fabbergasted at her presence.
 The Mistress-at-Arms suggested that since both of them were so posi- tive as to ownership that both of them needed 1t and that it might not be bad plan for them to cut t in half and share it. Both looked at the other and
