Armstrong to Talk on Bond Issue on DoUntoUn Corner
Is Not Actuated by Personal Animosity in Opposing Bond Issue Is Declared-Claims Tax Rate Is Already Excessive and Will Deal
 With Facts at Issue

Hunter Armstrong will Ire the first shot in his campaign In oppo- sition to the proposed S7.0oo, 900 bond issue in a meeting to be held at 530 o'clock this afternoon on the First National bank corner. This will be the first of a series of street corner discussions planned by Mir Armstrong.
 Tn my attempt to present the many arguments against this bond issue l am not actuated by personal animosity against the city commis- sion as my opponents have charged" said Mir. Armstrong. Why, if wanted to defeat the city commits sion. I would attempt to saddle this bond Issue on them. The political death of city commissions in the past have resulted from just such meas ures."
 MT. Armstrong states he intends to take issue with Dr c. B. Glenn, superintendent of public schools. In reference to the statement that

BACK FROM ORIENT, TELLS OF JAP GOD
 WITH MANY ARMS
James BoWron, Chairman of Gulf States Steel, Had Splendid Trip-Created
 Foreign Market (

James Bowron, chairman of the board of the Gulf States Steel com pany, who with Mrs. Bowron has returned from a sojourn of several months in China, Japan, India and elsewhere in the orient, was at his desk in the Brown-Marx yesterday in pink of condition and engrossed in the meshes of income tax matters.
 T must get through with this be- fore l move to anything else" said MT. Bowron. T am two months be- hind on it and 1t will hang like the sword of Damocles over my head un- til it is over with"
 Speaking of my return home and shaking hands of my friends who are welcoming me back" said MT. Bow ron, reminds me of a temple which l visited while in Japan and of a Japanese God whom this temple was built to honor.
 There are just one thousand sta tues of this one God in this temple and each of these statues has thirty three arms. That makes thirty three thousand arms and hands with which to shake hands in case the worshipped gentleman were to en- gage in that line of business.
 What a fine thing that would be for those who have an unusual amount of handshaking to do. Thir- ty-three thousand hands to do 1t with
 Asked If he enjoyed the trip. MT. Bowron said Fine, every bit of it."
 Gandhi Interview
 Mir. Bowron has received num- Der of notices bearing on the article which he wrote for The Age Herald dealing with his remarkable inter- view with Gandhi, the celebrated Hindoo leader who has given Great Britain so much trouble. The Age Herald had this article exclusively and it was subsequently, copied by numbers of papers all over the eoun- try.
 Mr. Bowron being an expert in ex- port trade. it is presumed that he did rot forego looking into opportuni- ties for business in the orient in Birmingham steel products and that the district will feel the effects of what he learned in the near future. Under his management the Gulf States Steel has shipped wire draw Ing mill products 10 tnlrty countries and, whenever the export markets are open. the Gulf States Steel is Johnny on- the-spot.'
 Early In Exports
 Back wonder in 1897 to 1900, when there was dearth of a market for Alabama pig iron in this country, MT. Bowron, then treasurer of the T. c. l. company, used his knowl- edge of continental business ar engagements to open Europe to the Alabama metal and 1t went abroad during three years at the rate of 200,00 tons per annum.
 At the end of that period the do- nestle markets had recovered. But the export movement of pig iron kept Alabama furnaces in operation when nothing else would have done 1t. Alabama iron went to Glasgow, Liverpool, Copenhagen, Trieste, Hamburg, Bremen and other ports, ships out of New Orleans carrying as much as 4,000 tons at a time.
 When MT. Bowron had welded dis jointed properties into cohesive whole as the Gulf States Steel his knowledge of foreign markets again served Alabama, this time In widen ing it's market for steel products.

 ID QUESTIONABLE

Commi ssioner D. E. McLendon yesterday announced the reply of the commission to the questionable of the Junior Chamber of Commerce would be ready for delivery today, coming as the last of three install ments of the series which have all ready been released by the school board and the director of the public library.
 Being the original recipient of the questions which were directed by the commercial organization pertaining to disposition of the S7,000, 900 pro- posed bond issue for education, public parks, Improvements and libraries. with a supplemental issue to increase the already voted municipal audi torium bonds, officials of the organ ization expressed apprehension of an early reply, although the question naire was directed to the president of the commission when the bond is- sue was first decided upon
 Work on the last questions pertain ing to the bonds was begun late yes terday afternoon and observing strict office hours, ceased at o'clock with one question which has seemed to puzzle the commission head in an swering, left untouched. Belief was expressed, however, that an attempt would be made to furnish the an swer today sometime, although a des. mite answer was not forthcoming.

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-06-02

1t is interesting to learn that Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., has purchased the
American Agriculturist, one of the
oldest farm papers in the United
States, and that he will devote his en-
tire time to the development and ex-
pansion of this paper. He is practi-
cal farmer owning thousand-acre
farm in Duchess County, New York,
and is one of the largest growers of
alfalfa in that section. He was a
student of agriculture at Cornell. This
looks promising for the Jewish farm
ers. More and more Jews are turning
to farming and it is astonishing to
consider the increase in the number
of Jewish agriculturists within the
past few years. I hope the movement
continues, for one of the evils of Jew
ish life in the large cities is the hud-
ding together by the hundreds of
thousands in congested and unwhole-
some sections. That sort of living has
focused the attention of the immigra-
ton restrictionist on the Jew, and fur
Their it has served to intensity preju-
dice against the Jew on the score that
he is non-producer. Now let us
show the country that we can again
become tillers of the soil once given
the opportunity.
The Italian delegation to the Genoa
Conference included the following
Jews: Senator Artom, Deputy Gino
Olivetti, member for Turin, and the
chief of the press bureau.

cit is mine," she added, as he did not
answer. 81 dropped it this morning
in the synagogue"
Then Nathaniel found his voice and
answered, not like pious student OF
the Torah, but like poet: '"That is
why I want to keep this rose."
Rachel glanced nervously toward her
fathers house; she must not be seen
standing here in the street talking to
a young man; yet she was determined
that Nathaniel would know just why
she had sought him so boldly.
"You must give me my rose," she
repeated firmly. "It was the most
beautiful rose I had and it should
have been placed in the synagogue
with my other flowers"
"But tomorrow it will be withered,"
urged Nathaniel. "Why do you want
it back?"
~ do not want it at ALL" confessed
Rachel. 81 only wanted to talk with
you. Now I must not see you alone

Scholar" she ended shamelessly.
For great scholar Nathaniel
showed himself very slow of wit.
"You mean that you will marry me?"
he stammered.
Rachel nodded. "Now give me back
my rose"
"Why? You said you did not care
for it."
But her fingers had already closed
about the flower. 81 will give you
this instead" and she drew the sister
rose from her hair. "Tell Zebulun to
come very soon," she called over her
shoulder, for she feared that on the
morrow a dreamer like her lover
might go back to his studies and for
get all about her.
Nathaniel did not forget the night
he gave Beauty her rose-at least for
several years, for how can one expect
a pious Jew and a great scholar al
ways to act like heather poet? But
Rachel remembered even after the
rose leaves had withered into dust and
her own daughters, only little less
beautiful than she had been in her
youth, passed under the marriage
canopy.
