 It Is The Only Salvation

"The Golden Rule of the Nazarene its practice, and It's application to business and social life, and to our government, Is the only salvation, the only ideal worthy of American citi- zens. and the only means whereby democracy can ever hope for suc- cess" Vice President Thomas R. Mar shall told his audience in Moose hall Saturday night when he appeared as speaker on the program with John Hays Hammond, coal commissioner.
 MT. Marshall presented pictur- csque figure, standing between two enormous American flags, Dr. H. A. Elkourie, local Moose dictator. on his right and MT. Hammond on his left He Is witty speaker and a man of wide vision. He was introduced. with Mir. Hammond, as one of America s best Moose, and this he proved to be. for he spoke in glowing terms of Moose and it's accomplishments. lay Ing particular emphasis on Moose heart" the home that trains for life, and the pride of every loyal member.
 The ex-vice president paid his com- pliments to the present administra- ton by saying he hoped they woulo set along just well enough to get licked good" next time.

KEEP CHICKENS CONFINED
If They Stray and Commit Depreda-
 tiOns Fines Imminent

If They Stray and Commit Depreda-
 tiOns Fines Imminent
 Why does a chicken cross the road?
 Birmingham's citizens have found cut this results from two causes: First. to get into somebody else's garden, and, secondly. because their owners fail to provide fences and GOODS to keep them at home.
 The fact that so many chickens have strayed from their residences has caused numerous complaints to reach the ear of the commi ssit ner of public safety asking for relief stating their gardens have been cleaned by visiting fowls and action should be taken to prevent it.
 Commissioner Cloe has informed the chief of police and the chicken squad to make arrests in any case reported to police headquarters. as an ordinance in the city code makes it unlawful fer any person who owns chickens to allow them to run at large.
 It was pointed out by the commits sioners that a woman was arrested and fined in police court recently for allowing her fowls to scamper throughout the neighborhood.
