EVERY CHURCH SH0ULD| TEACH THRIFT AND1 SAVINGS, SAYS BROWN

MONTGOMERY Ala. Feb. B. Thrift and saving should be part of the curriculum of every school alongside the knowledge of the duty that man owes to his fellow man, is the opinion of former state sem ator, Watt T. Brown, who has been prominently connected for the past few years with the building of the scLool of trades and industries at R6 gland.
 'The boy can get through in this world and make a valuable citizen if he just wants to-" Mir. Brown de- clared. and that is the principal idea in the founding of the Ragland school, to assist boys in making useful citizens, especially those who have been handicapped and without the ordinary opportunity in iife."
 Then there comes the question <s to what we will do with many boys between the ages of 12 and 1S ,who grow restless and want to work. in- stead of going to schools This in- stitution will be for that kind of boy. It will provide work and study" the St. Clair man said.
 The Ragland school will be place where boy can get an education Nf- he wants it, regardless of how poor he Is. for there will be work for him to do to entirely earn his way through. MT. Brown says.

NUMBER OF FERTILIZER TAGS SOLD INCREASES

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. S.-Sale of fertilizer tags in the state dur ing the month of January of the present year amounted to Sl3,S9O, or more than four times the number sold during the same month last year, according to a report just re- leased from the office of the com missioner of agriculture, J. M. Moore.
 Fertilizer licenses issued were 73 for January, 1923. while for the same month last year they. only totaled IS. and feed stamps sold amounted to s5.777.50 compared to s3.732.50 for January, 1922.
 MT. Moore states that tle increase in the number of tag sales does not necessarily mean that the amount of fer tilizer moved on the market is similarly, affected but the commits sioner states that the number of feed stamps indicates a corresponding in- crease in the sale of commercial feeds for the month.
 "The large sales of tags may in- dicate the contemplation of the movement of fertilizer in the near future" MT. Moore stated.
