Referendum Vote
On Bond Issue
DR.. Steel Calls Special Election for
June 24th-Bonds to Amount
to $l65, 900

DR.. Walt. H. Steel, president of the
Newark Board of Education, has
given notice of a special election to
be held in the Special School District
of Newark, on Saturday, June oath.
The purpose of this election is to
determine whether or not the Board
of Education of this district shall is
sue bonds amounting to S165,000. The
funds to be derived from such bond
issue are to be used to carry out the
building program of this district as
approved by the State Board of Edu-
cation. This program is to build and
equip a new building to be used as a
High School building.
The polls will be opened from one
p. m. to eight p. m., standard time,
and will be in the Academy Building.
1t is up to the people of this dis
trict whether or not they want this
bond issue foated and the referendum
vote of the twenty-fourth will show
how the people stand.
Who Mag Vote
Every person paying school taxes
in Newark Special District shall, ac-
cording to the law, be allowed one
vote.
At the previous referendum on this
matter each person was allowed 6
vote for every dollar or fraction
thereof assessed against him or hel
according to the last school assess.
ment but this year every one will be
allowed one vote.
HoW the Voting Is Done
Two ballots have been prepared by
the local Board of Education, one
reading, "For the bond issue," tn,
other against the bond issue" Boil
contain blanks for the name of tht
voters. Either or both of these ma!
be secured at the poll and one marked
and deposited. Voters may likewis
make and mark their own ballots.
When the vote was taken to float
similar loan in December 1920, tn
opposition was defeated about 4 p t.
l, and those in favor of floating tn
loan again this year are sure that tn
vote this time will be even heavie
than in 1920 in their favor.
At recent meeting OF the loca
Chamber of Commerce that bod
went on record as being in favor O
the floating of a loan to make i'm
provements on the local schools an
there are other bodies of the tow
that are likewise anxious to rid New
ark of her antiques"
After the vote of 1920 those il
charge were unable to find a marke
for the bonds and therefore the loa1
did not get across.

BIRMINGHAM GRIDDERS ION ANNIST0N OUTFIT

Anniston, September 16.-(Special.) A light workout Tuesday afternoon began 1922 football practice at the Anniston university school. about Is candidates appearing on the field for the bunting, passing and pre- liminary signal drill issued by Coach owens. Tuesday was the opening day of school and a much larger mum Der of men are expected out during the next few days.
 Only three regular men of last season have reported back so far and the team will have to be built up largely of new material since seven letter men were lost last year by graduation. One of the best team s in several seasons Is the prediction, despite the small number of old reg - ulaFs, for an unusually large number of men with experience and good records at other schools are found among the new students.
 Walls, fulibaek and captain last year; Rainwater. captain-elect and center last season, and Aeker, who played quarter, are the letter men of 1921 who are back. Among the substitutes of last year who were out at the initial practice and will make a strong try far varsity places are Arharry. Pruet, Field. Buckshaw and Mcdonald.
 New students who are regarded as most likely to land positions are Buck" Fair. of Birmingham, captain of Simpson High and named mem Der of all-state prep school last year; Red" Tanner of Simpson High school, Birmingham; Walker Ensley High, Birmingham Wood of Blr- mingham and Hawkins and Hanna of Calhoun County High school. ox- ford

JACKSON HOPING MINERS WILL LbE
 RESCUED TODAY
Doctors and Nurses at Hand to Receive Imprisoned Men as Soon as They
 Are Reached
By Associated Press

Jackson, Cal, Septemper lo'-Doc- tors and nurses, large equipment or the aids of science placed at their command. and AT hospital cots, graphically told the story tonight of Jackson's undying hope that the 47 miners entombed in the Argonaut mine since August 27. are alive and will be rescued tomorrow, the twenty-first day of their imprison- ment.
 Men who have been working des- perately in the Kennedy mine at the barrier between them and their CO., workers went into the Kennedy $500 foot level, believing they would ad- vance the work to a point where the rescue work could begin Sunday morning.
 It Is conceded that unless the unr foreseen develops, the Arganaut crew which goes to work at 3, m. tomor- row on the $500 foot level of the Kennedy mine will break through into the Argonaut workings ahead of the Kennedy crews working on the 3,900 foot level
 Officials tonight would make no prediction as to what will be found after the Arsonaut mine Is opened. It Is possible, they say. that there are eave-ins on the 4,200 foot level of the Argonaut where the entry is ex- pected to be made. This may mean days, even weeks of work In order to reach other levels of the Argonaut.
 Seek Lower Levels
 They also say the entrapped men may have sought the lower levels and that water may have risen in the mine to such an extent that all who were waiting for rescue have been drowned.
 The greatest fear. however. is that of gas, caused by the fire in the Argonaut. Analysis showed only two tenths of one per cent of carbon monoxide in the mines atmosphere tonight.
 It is more than likely, officials stated, that eaye-ins have forced the gas to practically every part of tho Argonaut levels. Old mother lode miners insist that the unfortunate workers would bulkhead themselves in the lower levels In such a manner that gas poisoning would be impos- sible. Furthermore, they argue, these men know the rate at which water rises in the Argonaut and would seek safety on level where they woult be safe for month at least.

RULES FOR EDUCING

4 Aoht tfiS T..
 The road that leads to normal weight IS not difficult. The fuel ix take must be lessened; there should be maintained a suitable ratio be- tween the protein. carbohydrates and fats in the foods.
 The chief fuels are starches, sugars and fats. While protein is used by the body as 2 building material, il Is also a fuei--a source of energy The chief building materials are protein. lime. iron and phosphorus Regulating substances which should be consciously added to the diet are vitamines and laxatives. Fruits and vegetables are the most important sources of these Tor the obese.
 When a diet for reducing is planned the fuel may, to a considerable ex. tent, be safely reduced. At the same time the body retains it's normal need for building and regulating sub stances. Protein is a tissue builder It Is needed to replace the small amount of tissue worn out daily and to maintain that which is already built. Therefore 1t should not be eliminated from the diet but should be eaten in moderation. Skim milk is rich in both lime and phosphorus while fruits and vegetables will sup ply iron and the various regulating substances.
 Proteins are thought of chiefly in the so-cafled hearty foods, such as iean meats. eggs, cheese, milk, ce- reals and nuts. Fats are found in cream. butter. vegetable fats and oils Gas olive-oiD, in fat meats, bacon and in meat-fats. such as lard and suet; they are also found In chocolate and in some nuts. The sources oi carbohydrates are starchy and sweet foods, such as sweets, fruits and some vegetables.

city boards hustling business man ager. D. F. Mckinley. who has fine desk there with every sort of data that Miss Katie Brown. .(stenographer. has to keep straight for the city's benefit. J. L. Holland. shipping clerk. also calls this office home.
 Seas of Desks
 With a rush, Miss Brown ushers you upstairs and downstairs till you get the impression that there has been perfect shipwreck of a boat carrying school desks. There is every sort-just like people-some with screw loose, some with a lazy dfsposition,. some we the habit of sprawling about, and some which have Just naturally broken down and given up the fight.
 All of these desks have to be done over-just like in a hospital. They are dipped in tubs of hot water, rolled around. and all the paint washed off their faces. They are given two or three sousings if their tempera- lures and color don't return to nor nal.
 Then the desk doctors get ham mer and tongs and go to work; use the old frame or chon off piece add new side or baek--put in a stronger prop-and all Is well. Then the smell of paint begins to fill the atmosphere like the scent of cold cream In lady's boudoir and pretty soon, nobody but a mean old thing would insult those desks by telling them they didn't lpog brand new.
 We pause. on the top floor, to see Mrs. Mary Holley. hard at 1t, spy ing out the torn or vanished leaves from the old schoolbooks. She finds that page 10 is Zone let us say But she has still other battered and wheezy books of the same sort around her. Oh, joy, page 10 is bright and shining in one of them. So 1t is in- vited right over tn Il he vacant spot in new, whole. book. When all the for new backs Is turned over to the other employees In this department- DaR Marshall, Hollis Smith, H. F. Washington and Miss Louis Yearty- the result being 1t comes out full of pep for another years fight with nimble fingers.
 From Everywhere
 Birmingham furnishes it's little folks. very rightly, with these free textbooks. but the bill is naturally very large. Like a thrifty house. wife. now, however, she can cut these bills almost in two.
 The books and the desks are gath cred from schools In every part of the district-and then returned after being through the mill. They arrive and depart by giant truck loads.
 Who says old Birmingham isn't showing right along!
 Murmur that not oh, sophisticated, where little Bright-eyes at his school desk. knows better!

 For almost week it went on like this, rubbernecking and having "flappery" grand time night and day.
 But the boys found way.
 Summoning the fire department, an aerial ladder was fetched and. just like gentleman being dragged frem a burning building, the flag was hauled down. Then the pulley and the pennant received a good sound talking to from the boys and after they both understood how dignifled and stately flags and pulleys really should act, and how ashamed of themselves they ought to be to dts appoint so many hundreds of citizens who expected them to set A good example and not go off at a tangent, they hung their heads and said they never would do such an awful thing again.

Telling the Story And then, if the books could talk,
 they'd jump up and dance around on
 one edge, like they do in stories. and screech out:

 And then, it'll probably be only a miracle that will prevent a regular
 mass of those squirmers from organ iaipg a parade and going down to see the plant.
 You see. it's theirs! That makes a difference. If 1t was a coffee factory. now well there wouldn't be half the En- terest. That would make its mag netic appeal mostly to the old blue backed fighters.
 Talking about that warehouse yes-

 Saves Thousands Give the credit of the warehouse -- and the vision of tito w. J. Rush. ten. former president of the board of

 how such factory would save thou-

Pennant Baked
 Thus, two or three evenings when the boys went to haul 1t down-Unele Sam's regulations stipulatlng that all good flags retire at nightfall-the pennant baked. It kicked and squirmed. It wouldn't come down. It wasn't going to be put to bed like an infantl It wanted to stay up till at least II o'clock, study astronomy and see if the moon was actually made of green cheese.
 But the boys were firm, and, after a lengthy argument, brought 1t to earth. After that it sulked a bit more every day.
 Finally 1t concocted grand scheme. It complained into the lily white ear of It's pulley until 1t ob- tained it's cooperation. And that self same night, the pulley also baked, jerked Itself clear out of gear, and sent the little red, white and blue pennant far into the atmosphere.
 'Hully gee, how grand!" yelled the fiag-and 1t cavorted and laughed, and cut forty leven eapers.
 Free at lastl
 We won't so home till morning. !" 1t sang.
 Not a chance to do anything with 1t. The pole was too slender for any boy to shinny up and take the young fly-away to task.
 There wasn't anything to do bat to stand around and try to make the pulley behave, look mournful and speculate.
 Only one time did the young flag really feel nervous, and that was when it thought:
 Suppose some one should sell Uncle Sam on me! Ouch" Banner Defiant
 Crowds gathered to see If there was any service they could render the Scouts. But the banner was defiant of all.
 It would puff itself up and pretend 1t was toy balloon at state fair; then 1t would let all the wind out of its sail and act like 1t was drifting off to forgetfulness. After which it would cut all sorts of dldoes. and even add insult to injury by playing hide and seek with the spectators. It positively refused to stand up tall
