AUBURN OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING,
 SAYS CHAIRMAN
Many Substantial Gifts For institution ReCeived-KreSS Sets Pace for Chain
 Stores

With subscriptions reported throughout the state nearing s300.00o and with approximately s1Oo,OO0 raised in the city of Birmingham, plans were being made at Auburn headquarters yesterday to launch the campaign Monday in 16 addf- tional counties. Thirty-thr coun- ties in addition to those which are now under way and which begin the campaign Monday. have definitely set a date for starting their campaign after April 24.
 Several other counties which have not begun are holding up due to local conditions. but will start at the first convenient time. Uniy two counties in the state are not organized and steps will be taken soon to remedy this situation. Another subscription for s1,OOO was received at the city headquarters by W. Carson Adams yesterday, being given anonymously by q friend of Auburn.
 w. J. and J. r. Rushton subscribed $500; National Cast Iron Pipe com pany S25O; and S. II. Kress & Co.,. s1o0. In addition to these larg- CT subscriptions, there was the usual large number of smaller amounts ranging from s10 to $1O0.
 kress Sets Pace
 'I was especially gratified at the subscription of s. H. Kress & Co.,, said City Chairman Adams. This company operates stores sin eight Alabama cities and will doubt less be solicited in each of them for a subscription. Their interest in Auburn and their willingness to sub- scribe in this campaign sets a splen- did example for other so-called chain stores, some of which do not contrib ute their proper share to civic and educational matters where they op- crate. The example of s. II. Kress x Co.,, in Birmingham is one which others might well follow"
 In addition to the subscriptions re- ceived in Birmingham list of ths subscriptions in Montgomery showed a large number in excess of $250 up to as high as S1,000. The list of the larger subscriptions reported in Montgomery to date follows:

will be in full swing in more than 50 counties of the state before the
 close of the present month.
 Outlook Encouraging. With approximately S100.000
 raised in the city of Birmingham, and total of nearly SS0o,000 raised in the state of Alabama today. the
 outlook is highly encouraging. said Charles F. DeBardeleben, General
 Chairman. We are sure of a mum Der of large subscriptions from lead ing firms. corporations, and indlvid- uals of Birmingham and a great part of the territory in the city has not yet been covered.
 Tn addition, we have not received officially reports from the outlying sections of Jefferson county and only partial reports from the counties in
 the state which have already launch ed the campaign. Then, there are 16 coumies which do not start until Monday and 33 more
 where the start is to be made later in the month. When it is considered that less than one-third of the coun- l ties have begun their campaign, and | the work has been concluded in only one or two of the smaller counties
 It can be seen that we are well OH
 our way toward the ultimate goal of $1,000.000.
 | People Awakening
 The people of Alabama are just 1 now awakening to the real signifi
 canoe of ttis campaign and they are
 going to back us up in our determi- nation not to give up the fight until
 Auburn has s1.000.000 with which to begin it's program for build
 ings and equipment. With the senti-
 ment created by this campaign and
 the unanimity of support favorable | to Auburn throughout the state. we are confident that In the future Au-
 burn will receive better support from the state"

This writer who jumped into fame
few years ago, almost over night,
is rapidly becoming one Of the COM
manding figures in modern fiction
writing.
The range Of his powers is no less
extraordinary than their quality. He
has the power Of being always inter-
esting, while no one excels him in
the ability to contribute absorbing
realism, mystery, romance and vitali-
ty to his work.
A native and resident Of Califor-
MIA, he draws most Of his plots and
characters from that section or some
part Of the West. He occupies a
place in the sea-faring literature Of
the Pacific Coast, similar to that Of
Joseph c. Lincoln on the shores Of
New England. One of his best and
most humorous tales is "The Green
Pea Pirates," which this publication
will soon start as serial. Our read
ers must not miss it.

TO GROW EARLY CABBAGE

Cabbage is one Of the most de-
sirable Of our early green or leaf
crops and should be included in
every home garden. The seeds
should he sOwn indoors and the
plants set in the garden about
the time that danger of frost Is
past, or few plants can be pur-
chased from the seed store. Cab
bage requires rich soil, and the
plants of the smaller early sorts
should be set 18 inches apart in
each direction for hand cultiva-
tiOn. 1t is a good plan to pour
a little water around the roots
Of each plant as it is being set In
the garden.
The Owosso times., 1922-02-17
HOW TO GROW PEPPERS

Seeds Of peppers should be
>sown In a hotbed or In a box In
the house about 8 weeks before
the time for setting the plants in
the garden. The plants are ten
der and should not be trans
planted until the ground is warm
and all danger of frost is past.
Set the plants Is to 1S inches
apart In rows 2h to feet apart.
The cultivation and treatment Of
peppers should be the same as
for tomatoes and eggplants.
There are a large number of
varieties Of peppers, including
the sweet kinds and the hot pep

PADDOCK HOPES To
LOWER 100 yO. DASH

Los Angeles. Feb. 1.-Charlie Pad
dock is out TO cut a fifth of n second
or moro off the worlds record of 3-5
seconds for the one hundred yard dash.
Coaches at the University of South
eru California, where the fastest
human" as Paddock has been called,
is registered. believe that if he can i'm
prove his start he will be able to- lower
TO yard mark. which is held jointly
by himself, Dan Kelly and Howard
Drew.
Paddock tried the worlds record last
spring on the University OF California
track at Berkeley on the same day that
he set a new worlds record of II 45
seconds for the 22O yard dash.
Fred Kelly, former holder OF the high
hurdles record and now assistant track
coash at L. 5. c. points out that Pad
dock always gets away to a slow
start, the other runners generally lcav-
ing him behind at the crack of the
pistol in some races. Paddock has
even been behind at the halfway
mark. His speed. however, has en-
abled him to pass the others and make
strong finishes.
If" says Kelly. Paddock can only
speed up his getaway one-fifth of n
second. and continue to bound along
with his usual rapidity to the tape. he
car shave the record.
By improvement in arm action. Pad
dock reduced his time for the dash
from ten seconds flat to So. Coach
Dean Cromwell Is credited with hav-
ing developed Paddock's present grace
full action from previous awkwardness
and speed-impeding movements.
This. according to Kelly, is tho
secret of Paddocks speed.
Others give considerable credit. nat
urally. to his thigh muscles and his
I7-inch calves. with which hc covers
nine feet at stride. his well bal
anced action of shoulders and the
Coordination OF all the muscles in his
body"
But, with all that. his start is poor,
experts say. and they are going to try
10 improve 1t.
