1HAi Gh sN.N Nii' Introduced to a Lady

Buddy Briskow had difficulty ir getting out Of the valley on his way for doctor. for never had the road, been like this. He drove recklessy. where necessary he disregarded fences and pushed across pastures that were hub deep; he even burst through oc. casional thickets in defiance Of axle and tire. He drowned his motor finally in fording rally stream and abandoned the car
 He came into Ranger that after noon on the back of a truck horse that he orrowed--without the own CTS consent. For a time it seemed that If he got doctor at all he would have to follow similar procedure, but the Briskow name was powerful. and Buddy talked in big figures, so eventually he set out on the return journey-this time In a springless freight wagon drawn by the stoutest team in town. A medical man was on the seat beside him.
 It was after midnight when Buddy and his miserable companion gained The comparatively easy going of the last ridge, that finty range beyond Wnlcn lay IDe bTlSkoW ldIlH.
 Buddy stopped at a drilling camp where lights showed the occupants to be astir, and there he received con- firmation of his fears. The flats be- yond were inundated to 8 depth rem 1ering travel impossible. and although some of the men stationed out there had managed to work their way back, others were, for the time being, hope lessly cut off
 "I guess I oan swim, if I try. Eel Ter can do most anything if he has to. How about you, Doc?" Buddy turned to his travelling companion
 The latter shook his head posi- lively. You're crazy, Briskow. Wed probably drown. If we didn't, we'd be burned alive when that loose oil catches fire"
 Buddy cursed furiousy and lurched toward the door. It took force to restrain him from going.
 The rain ceased with the passing of the electrical storm, but the late hours of the night were thick and the fires continued to burn. It seemed as if morning would never come.
 With the first light Buddy mounted one of his horses, and, regardless ot admonitions, set out. In miles ne had no great distance to go; neVerthe- less. it was midday before he came In sight of his fathers unpainted farm house. and when he dismounted at

SALE OF INTOXICATING
 LEMON EXTRACT WILL BE TESTED IN COURT
JASPER BUREAU ! THE AGE-HERALD ! Jasper. Ala. Jan. 20
A case that attracted more than or

case that attracted more than or dinary intenest was heard before D. Cranford, city attorney, Saturday morning. J. O. Shumake was tried for selling half pint bottles of lemon extract, which according to the printed label contained s5 per cent of alcohol, Chief of Police F. w. Carwater stated that this brand of extract caused some very bad trunks, and that all those who had been in- toxicated on it wanted to fight Mr Shumake and his attorney said it was just like lemon extract sold by nearly all grocerymen, and if it was against the law to sell it they wanted to know it. $ MT. Shumake certainly did not want to violate law. Five thousand agents were selling the same brand of Watkins lemon ex- tract, they said.
 Certain witnesses testified that MT. Shumake declined to sell lemon ex- tract to them for fear that they would use it as beverage. The at torney for the defendant suggested that a test case be made. He sug- gested that MT. Shumake should sell another bottle of the extract, be ar rested and a test case made of it as soon as possible. We needn't go to that trouble" replied Recorder Gran ford. "I'll fine the defendant s100 and cost in this case and let you make q test case of it."

SCHOOL BOOK BILL BEING BACKED BY JONES IF BARBOUR
State Printing Plant Proposed to Turn Out School Books at Cost-Says State
 Would Profit
By Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 20.- Pleading the cause of Alabama school children, Senator G. Ernest Jones of Barbour is urging the passage of his school book bill," which provides among other things for the erection of a state printing plant, turning the books out to the school children at cost, it Is pointed out.
 Senator Jones who Is fostering the bill, had the following to say in connection with the act:
 have been very much gratified by the favorable sentiment with which the bill has been received by the members of both houses.
 Gives Kansas Example
 The Kansas printing plant is not the only state printing plant which is making a success of the proposition. but, being nearer home, situated in state of about the same size and population, I have used it for il- illustrative purposes. The state of Kansas began a great many years ago and it is no longer an experi- ment with them, and they are today furnishing their school children with text books at prices which mean a saving of approximately S200,000 a year,
 Not only are they effecting this saving to the boys and the girls of Kansas but they are doing the print ing of all the stationery and sup plies for the state, including. the bound volumes of supreme court re- ports and others from the state de- partments. The net saving last year in Kansas showed saving of ssS,S71 in their own printing, which Is almost enough to equip an Ala bama plant of the same size as that of Kansas.
 Profit for State
 "A saving of this amour each year means that the state treasury can take the same money. which will be paid during the administration for state printing, and with this money can build and equip the plant, pay for all materials, the printed sup plies, including the supreme court reports.
 The establishment of this plant means that every school boy and girl in Alabama will have an adequate source of supply of school books. and no longer will the schools be opened In this state and run for the first month or two without books. The school book is the child's tool. and to undertake to operate without books is a waste of money and an unpardonable extravaganza. We have tried the present system of supplying by contract for 20 years or more, and every year complaints have come in from practically every coun- ty in the state, that the supply was inadequate"

WORK TO BEEN ON TALLAP POOSA RIVER STORAGE PROJECT
Gadsden Interested in Plan of Power Company to Erect Big Dam at Chero-
 kee Bluff
GADsDEN BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD Gadsden. Ala. Jan. l0

Gadsden is expecting the Alabama Power company to shortly announce that it's construction forces now at work on Mitchell dam at Duncan's Rifle are to be transferred to Chero- kee Bluff on the Tallapoosa river in order to begin work on the great storage project that Is to take care of low water periods on the Coosa. It had been hoped here that they would be brought nearer this city to build the proposed hydroelectric plant at Lock and thus continue the devel- opment of the Coosa for purposes of navigation as well as TOT generating power for industrial use. It is real ized, however. that the Tallapoosa project is an emergency one and will be a part of the interlocking rower system planned for the state by the Alabama Power company.
 Dam 200 Feet High
 It is said that the dam at Chero- kee Bluff will be 200 feet high and will create one of the largest storage reservoirs in the world. It will i'm pound about AZ billion cubic feet of water, enough to submerge about 10000 acres of land in Tallapoosa county, it Is said. In buying the riparian and other rights in the VI cinity of the dam and reservoir It Is said, the company was forced to purchase 22 cemeteries and several churches. These rights alone have cost an immense sum of money, but the benefits to the state are declared to be incalculable. For one thing. the big storage basin will make the Alabama river navigable for longer periods during the year and it will permit the operation of about four power generating plants that are to be constructed below the dam. It will create fishermen's para disc and one of the finest lakes in the country.
 Consider Georgia Project ! It is understood that the company has not selected the exact site for its operations on the Tallapoosa but it is almost certain to leave the Coosa until the emergency project is completed.
 One of the next pig storage pro- iects to be considered, it is said, Is one on the Etowah river in Georgia. Engineers have estimated that a res- eryoir there with a capacity or thirty-five billion cubic feet of water in storage would completely relieve the Coosa of it's low periods and would aid navigation to great extent. The plan has been under consideration for years and will be put through as soon as more press ing needs are cared for, 1t is de- al
