transportation. The port cities are en-
titled to this information and to con-
sideration of the suggestions which
their traffic officials may make for
betterment of the service. None are
so deeply interested in the fate of the
Warrior as those who ship on it, and
it follows that the Warriors affairs
will always be the better handled if
they are often consulted and con-
ferred with. In calling the conference
Colonel Ashburn has done the right
and proper thing, but the shipper must
not lose sight of the main object, which
is to insist on fair treatment for the
Warrior or, if this is refused, to find
out why, and then strike at the root
of the trouble.

support for Schools

(SeIma LINES ouiiidi/
According to available data the
state appropriated $4,000 to the
university for the fiscal year end
ing September 80, 1921. and $S52,-
600 to Auburn. These amounts
are not only excessive but they
are far below the standards OF
other progressive commemorative
many of them below Alabama in
wealth and taxable values. For
the state to enlarge its appropria-
lions for it's two foremost seats OF
learning would be following
sound and enlightened policy and
to refuse to take such a step would
be discouraging 20 all lovers of
progress, and a check to our edu-
cational renaissance which now
appears to be in process OF happy
realization.

The fox as an issue is acute in
Alaska. According to the depart
ment of the interior, the fox prob
lem will be put before the presi-
dent as soon as he reaches that
territory the coming summer.
testers in the capital declare that
the president will be foxy enough
to solve it.
Fox raising upon an immense
scale has developed in southeast
ern Alaska. Hundreds of the
smaller islands along the coast,
useless for other purposes, have
been transformed into fox farms.
Much capital has been invested In
suitable Enclosures and pens for
animals as well as buildings for
the storage of supplies. But there
is a fly in the ointment. Accord
ing to the land laws now in force,
title to fox farms cannot be OBJ
tanned. Statutes permit home
stealing of land for agricultural
and cattle raising purposes only.
1t is easy for hairs splitting law
yers to prove that foxes are not
cattle.
Fox raisers regard it as fortu-
nate that the president will visit
Asalaska the coming summer.
They feel certain that an appeal
that he change the law so as to
admit demonstrating for fox rails
ing will not fail to move him. At
any rate, they are prepared to
mako the appeal, and 1t is regard
ed as probable that the president
will act as requested.
No census of the fox population
in Alaska Is available. There are
no data as to the amount of CAPT
tai invested in the enterprise.
Many fox skins. however. are
valued at $4,000 each, and blue and
silver fox furs and skins shipped
from Alaska last year sold for
$3,300,000.

The Negro Exodus
(Anniston starr


The negroes who contemplate
moving out of the South should
make careful inquiry among those
of their race who already have
moved to the North. They would
find in most cases that the negroes
who have left the South would
gladly return. for the pictures
painted for them of. higher wages
and greater equality in the North
have all proven false. Unfortu-
nately most of the negroes who
are lured from, their Southern
homes are unable to get back; for
they find living conditions so much
higher in the Northern cities that
they never are able to save money
for the return trip. and statistics
show the death rate among ne
groes to be much greater in the
North than In the South. 49,

Why New Tree Was Fostered.

There is a popular belief that the
yew tree, because of its dark and
gloomy foliage, is the one most appro
pirate for planting in a churchyard;
but its presence there was at one time
merely matter of utility. No better
timber than the yew product can be
obtained for bow making. and an an
cient act of parliament decreed that
yew trees be planted in all burying
grounds to furnish material for the
archers.
