IT'S A FACT

All day long we read and write,
With a teacher lowering near,
Then, when we are home at night,
We must study, it is clear.
And the lessons they assign,
am sure they're most too long,
But there is no need to pine;
| Might as well just sing a song.
Oh, the books we have to carryi
Why, we almost need dray;
But there amt no time to tarry,
We must hurry on our way.
other folks can make call
And sit around and chat;
But we have no time at all
We must study this or that.
We get in lonely corner,
With a book upon our knee,
And look like lowly mourner
Who's longing to be free.
History is horrid stuff;
It's science we don't like to take
English seems quite bad enough,
But mathematics takes the cake.
Before our books are half read,
And half our lessons learned,
The old clock says to go to bed
Our rest we've surely earned.
We forget our every trial,
And are asleep at eleven.
We sleep and dream most all the
while
Till the old clock strikes seven.

The Freshmen don't know,
But they don't know
That they don't know.
The Sophomores don't know,
But they know
That they don't know.
The Juniors know,
But they don't know
That they know.
The Seniors know,
And they know
That they know.
A little Freshman went to class,
And tried to write test;
He hadn't studied one wee bit,
So you can guess the rest.

TRlCKERY NOT PERMITTED
District Manager Offers Cash if Gus
 toners Are Dissatisfied

Information recently given through the press warning the public against agents selling hosiery but not nam ing the agents or the company or companies they represented seems to have created suspicion against all such agents and companies and to have made it difficult for. them to engage further business regardless of the worth of their product.
 Such articles in the press ought to name the agents and companies referred to if hardship Is not to be brought on those endeavoring to do wholly honest business" said Thomas w. Martin, district manager of the Noe-Equl Hosiery mills, of Reading, Pa., who has offices in the Real Estate building and who is resident of Birmingham. T chance to knew that the article did not re- fer to our organization but even SO it has caused us much embarrass- ment. With the clearing up of the matter by publication the fact that ours is not the organization in- volved we shall be in a more satis- factory position.
 Our mills are in Reading, Pa. are capitalized at s3o0,OO0. are now doing business at the rate of s2,000.000 a year and are producing mems and women's hosiery of the most satis- factory type and the best styles. Our selling agents are not knowingly permitted to resort to the clever file test or to any trickery whatever. We sell our hosiery on guarantee. If a customer is dissatisfied we make good always. The result. Is that we are doing a large business in Bir- r,ingham and expect to treble it in q short time. Our product Is exactly as represented. I am advertising In The Age Herald to pay $50 reward to anyrne using our hosiery who is not satisfied or who, if not satisfied, fails to receive an entirely satisfactory adjuEtment Our hosiery mills are will;rE to double their amount. That shows our position and our infentions.'

BOOST ALABAMA
 RADIO TALKS
 SUGGESTION MADE
Local Civic Organization Ask ed to Furnish Speakers For Power Company'S Broad
 casting Station

In order that the maximum service may be obtained from it's radiophone, the Alabama Power company has in vited by letter the twenty odd civic organizations of the Birmingham district to furnish speakers from among their membership to "boost Alabama" over it's broadcasting sta tion,s" s Y"
 The letters state 1t is the purpose of the company to outline series of four to six minute talks covering all the salient features about Ala bsma. including her natural re- sources and industrial opportunities.
 As the Alabama Power company has received hundreds of commenda- tory letters regarding it's service from all parts of the north, east and southeast, the offer of the power company presents an opportunity for the civic organizations to assist in spreading Alabama's fame through out the territory reached by this sta ton.
 In Faraway States
 It is pointed out that by this se- ries of talks peoples in faraway states, workers. farmers, homeseek- CTS, and others will be induced to make their homes in Alabama and industrial leaders will be told that they may find in Alabama the raw materials, transportation facilities, aid other facts necessary to the es- tablishment of new industries.
 The letter of the power company follows: The Alabama Power com pany wishes to tender to the civic organizations of Alabama the use of it's radiophone broadcasting station at Birmingham in the boosting of Alabama.
 UpbuildinR of State
 "It is but natural that we should lend our support to the upbuilding of our state as all of the property owned by this company lies within the borders of Alabama, several mil lion dollars of its securities are owned by Alabamians and every cent of it's revenue comes from Alabama's citizens and industries.
 That the programs broadcasted by us are heard and appreciated by thousands in not only the adjacent states but all through the north and east Is attested by the hundreds of commendatory letters which we have received from New York, Pennsyl- vania Ohio, Indiana. Michigan. Kan sas, Kentucky. West Virginia, vir- gifia, North Carolina and South Car olina.
 Unusual Opportunities
 we therefore felt that this pre- sented an unusual opportunity for telling the people of these regions of the resources of Alabama, and her many industrial advantages. No state in the south is so richly endowed by nature as Is Alabama. That she Is destined to become one of the great est states in the union no one can gs;nsay. Let us hasten the day; let us tell the country about Alabama.
 Tt Is our purpose to outline a program of four to six minute talks covering all of the salient features about Alabama, her natural re- sources, industrial opportunities, etc.
 We feel sure that we may count upon your cooperation with us in this program, and that you will furn- ish to us upon request a speaker from among your membership.
 "we ask that you take whatever action upon this request as may be necessary to insure an early reply"
