BIG INCREASE FROM SHEEP

Yields of lambs and wool de-
pend largely upon the breed of
sheep selected. With ewes of any
one of the medium-sized mutton
breeds, the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture points out
that ll5 per cent of lambs can
be raised, and 100 per cent is
not infrequently reached. The
wool clip varies from seven to
eleven pounds per eve. The
larger mutton breeds yield more,
as do also the fine woods, but the
value per pound of the latter has
in normal times been less on ac-
count of the greater proportion
of grease. In comparison with
cattle and swine, sheep can be
made to yield practically the
same net returns on the value of
the land, if well cared for, and if
kept on lands reasonably well
adapted for sheep raising.

 ADDRESS CLUBS
Miss Louise Connolly, Mem- Der of National Committee
 Encourage Better Films

Encouragement of good films rather than the condemnation of bad ones is the mission of the National Committee for Better Films, accord Ing to Miss Louise Connolly, educa- tional expert of the free public library member of the committee, who is in Birmingham.
 Birmingham progress In the work of better film showing has been nationally noted, Miss Connolly says. The fact that this city has a motion picture inspector and the children's matinees of better films is evidence of this.

She has served as the secretary of the motion picture commission of New Jersey and frequently has been ask ed to advise and assist the National Board of Review.

Sherif's Fight for Funds Becomes More Complicated
 As Other Petitions Filed
Mandamus Proceedings on Part of Deputies to Force Payment of Salaries Withdrawn When Board of Revenue Issues Warrant, But Treasurer Re-
 fuses Payment and Second Petition Is Filed

Decision on mandamus proceedings against the board of revenue by Sheriff J. c. Hartsfield seeking to compel the board of revenue to issue warrant for $500 to cover the sheriff's salary for January, will be made by Judge Dan A Greene in cir cult court Tuesday.
 At tho same time the court will de- eide a motion filed yesterday by Deputy Steve Wiggins seeking a summary judgment against M. " Henry, county treasurer, to cover s15o, the salary of the deputy for the same month.
 Tho two cases were scheduled for decision yesterday afternoon. but were passed to allow attorneys for the defendants to prepare formal answers to the two proceedings. This will be done Monday, 1t Is stated, and the cases submitted to the court Tuesday morning for decision. Following the decision by Judge Greene, the losing party will imme- diately take the case to Montgom- cry where they will be argued and submitted to the supreme court for decision next Thursday. That is the last regular motion day for the su- preme court for SIX weeks, it Is stated, and every effort will be made to get the eases before the appellate court at that time in order to get a decision as early as possible.
 Ask for Dismissal
 Mandamus proceedings filed by T. M. Gilbert, deputy sheriff, seeking to corHpel issuance by tine board of revenue of . warrant to cover hls January salary were dismissed be- fore Judge Greene yesterday morning on motion of the complainant when the board of revenue decided to issue the warrants to the deputies against the county general fund, and put the matter of payment up to Treasurer Henry. When the warrant of Steve Wiggins, one of the deputies was presented to him, Mir. Henry declined to pay 1t and filing of the motion for summary judgment foHowed.
 This raises the same question as contained in the Gilbert petition, it is stated, and admits Of the decision of which could not have arisen on man damus.
 In declining to issue the warrants for the deputies but not for the sheriff, the board of revenue pro- ceeded on the theory that the local laws of Jefferson county passed Sep tember 14, 1915, which provide that the board of revenue shall not pay money for the salaries of officials of certain mentioned offices In excess of the earnings of the office or an ticipated fees, does not apply to the deputies but only to the sheriff.
 It is pointed out that the title of the law recites that it is passed "to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-02-05

fix the compensation or salaries to be paid the sheriff, judge of probate, tax collector, tax assessor" and other specifically named officials.
 In the body of the law. it is pro- vided that "the board of revenue of Jefferson county is authorized and empowered to provide sufficient clerical and other assistance to and deputies of said officers and to fix their compensation and to provide how they shall be paid, etc." Under this provision allowing the board to provide how they shall be paid" it Is believed that the board of reve- nue can provide for payment of the deputies out of the general fund of the county instead of being limited to the sheriffs fund, from which the sheriff himself must receive his money. The law then provides that the salary paid shall not exceed the amount of fees, charges and commits sions earned and collected by such officer" and that "the board of rev enue may pay the monthly salaries of the officials mentioned in this act In anticipation of fees actually earned for services rendered"
 Information Sought
 It is contended that since the act
 
 to whom 1t is to apply, among them the sheriff, that its provisions were intended by the legislature to be linn ited to the officials actually men-t toned and that since 1t does not mention deputy sheriffs specifically it was not intended to apply to them. In other words. that the provisions of the law are limited to certain county officials and that the deputies are not officials of the county within the meaning of the law, but mere em- ployes who can be paid out of other funds than the sheriff's fund.
 Whether or not the courts will sus- tain this view of the matter. 1t IS admitted, is problematical. The board recently declined to issue any more warrants for salaries of the sheriff and his deputies because of the exist ience of a sS2,oOo deficit which has accumulated in the sheriff's de- partment since the preseht sheriff took office. This sum stin remains as 8 deficit after giving the sheriff credit for all uncollected fees on the court records, which have been earned by him. According to opinion of his attorneys. Treasurer Henry will be liable on his bond for any money paid out for operation of the office as long as the deficit exists.
 Action of the board of revenue yes terday in issuing the depities' war rants was to raise the question of whether they are officials within the meaning of the law or mere em- ployes. If the latter, 1t is conceded they can be paid out of the general fund of the county without danger to the county treasurer. If the form CT, they must Tand or fall with the sheriff whose compensation Is linn. ited to money In the sheriffs fund.
