block of the post office for a price estimated to be one-half its real value. Aside from this the mem bcrs of the congregation will most likely find that they will be called on for further financial help towards the project. Authorities of the church have gone into the situa- ton thoroughly, it is stated, and are prepared to recommend the accept ance of the plan to the individual members of the congregation. It is expected to follow that the officials will be backed up by the congrega- tion.
 Establishment of proposed high school here, which will call for an investment of $15o,oo0 additional to the present value of the Baptist property, Is by far the most talked of development in Ensley for months. There has been an interest manifest ed in the plans that have overshad- owed other developments, which in themselves are of importance. There seems to be a highly developed belief that Ensley should by all means ob- tain the high school on account of the value it will bring to this section in the way of educational advan- tages. There Is a general opinion that Ensley can and will take care of herself in matters of industrial
  is necessary quite little work. This is the paramount reason for the great interest and the unexpected enthusiasm here over the project. There has been few if any refer ences to the fact that the school win add material wealth to the city. All along the idea has been that the school will tone up this section of Birmingham much more than any thing that could happen here.
 The Baptist church in Ensley is not the only one which will consider the new school. It is expected that there will be mention made of the plans before all the Baptist congre- gations west of Fairview. This will give the proposal wide advertising and will assist in getting the propo- sition sold to the Baptist denomina- tion, which, after all. must bear the greatest amount of the expense nec- essary to bring the school to this section.
 It was announced Saturday that the proposal would be considered and most likely approved at a meet l ing of the Ensley Associated Mer- chants Tuesday and likewise at the Kiwanis club meeting next Thursday
 WILL ENTERTAIN MINISTER'S
 Every Kiwanian in Ensley Is ex- | pected to have a Methodist minister or a layman delegate to the Meth odist conference as a guest at the club luncheon Thursday, It was an nounced Saturday by James Dupuy chairman of the program committee that no special program would be outlined on account of the Methodist conference meeting here and that a, the Thursday luncheon in the Chris tian church every member was ex- pected to have a minister as his l guest. There will be present BishoI Murrah. who will preside, and lead. ing officers of the church as guests of the club. Chances are that BishoI Murrah will be asked to address the club, as well as other prominent wis | itors.
 Kiwanis club officials have issued statement to the church officials offering every possible assistance to them in making the conference a success.

SUPPORT FOOTBALL TEAMS

Two large crowds WltneSSeu polh football games this week at Besse- mer. when the two high schools here played Jones Valley and Jefferson County. The fact that large pro- portion of the crowd was composed of adults was fact much commented on. This has been brought apout mainly through the support or the teams by the business men, and also the interest stimulated through the Parent Teacher associations or the various schools.
 The support of the teams has grown, rather than diminished, since each has suffered defeat, and thls IS accepted as indicating that the sup mort is something more than the mere enthusiasm which a winning team arouses. The student spirit backing the teams has been widely com mented on.
 Another angle which Is interesting the business men of this section is the fact that through the footoall teams there is opened another ave nue of contact with the rural schools, which should prove a valuable asset The proposal that Bessemer business men aid outlying schools Tn the financing of their athletics was ois- cussed at a recent meeting Of the Chamber of Commerce, and 1t IS be- Iieved that next season somethlng definite along this line Will De worked out,

WATER COMPA ANY

New Reservoir Being Erected To Increase Water
 Supply
BESSEAIER BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD


 Extesive Improvements are being installed by the Ala bame Water com pany, which will extend their serv- ice to a larger area in the city, and at the same time insure a more ade- uuate water supply. large reser- voir is to be built at Eighteenth street and Granville avenue, which will raise the water level in that sec tion several feet, making service to homes along Granville and Holbrook avenues possible. In the past the company has been unable to supply this section because of the altitude.
 The reservoir will be 100 feet high from the level of the street and work on the structure is now under way. The tank will hold 10000 gal Ions of water and will be supplied from an auxiliary pump which is at tached to the main at Nineteenth street and Fairfax avenue. This pump has already been installed, and it is expected that the reservoir will be completed in a few weeks. Ihls will moan extension of service to a large number os homes. and in sec ton which is rapidly developing Ihe reason for the building of this reser- voir is that this point is too high too receive an adequate pressure rom the reservoir on Red mountain.
 The company has just completed installation of 8 new pump at the Hawkins Spring statton' Wltn capacity of 4,000.000 gallons daily. This gigantic pump displaces the old one, which had a capacity of 2.500,- OOO gallons, or nearly doubling the pumpinE load from this source or supply. The old pump. however, will be retained and will bc used in the future as m auxiliary. The cleo tric motor with the pump carries a capacity of 300 horsepower, which Is twice as large as the oio motor
 With the installation of the new numn the companN has also improved it's testing appara tus and other de tails at the pump house and at the reservoir.

given stale bread, soaked In milk and
squeezed dry, TO a crumbly state, and
mixed with finely chopped hard-boIled
eggs. cracker crumbs and dandelions.
Feed them the food frequently.

days, after which they should be given
grain feed OF wheat, oats and barley,
equal parts, ground together and suf-
hciently fine for them at this tender
age.
After the pouts have reached two
weeks In age, feed them a mash of
equal parts Of cornmeal and the
ground grain feed. molstened with
sweet milk, to which should be added
small amount of finely cut meat, and |
feed at least three times daily, If con-
lined In runs, or twice daily, mornings
md evenings, when allowed to range.
Grit Is necessary. and a liberal sup
ply should always be near at hand.

Free Choice System of
Mash Feed for Chickens

A study of the free choice system of
mash feeding for chickens made by
the United States Department of
Agriculture at its experiment farm
located at Betsvllle, Md, showed that
the best results and highest egg pro
ductlon are obtained when hens are
allowed to select their own mash con-
stltuents. Ii was found that hens Sc
lected a mash composed of GO parts
cornmeal, 20 parts meat scrap, parts
wheat bran and 4 parts wheat mid
dlings. This mash gives best results
with Leghorns, and less stimulating
mash, containing more bran and
ground oats, with less meat scrap, has
gwen better results with general-pur-
pose breeds.

know whether they will have cson
before completing the pruning of
thelr peach trees. 1t is generally nee
essary to take out from one-third to
one-half Of the new wood produced
on the vigorous trees. However
where there Is very heavy crop con.
siderable pruning can be done to help
lnin The fruit. Where the crop is
rather light and scattered. how.
ever, 1t is customary not to PRIME
quite SO heavily in order to save the
crop. Where the trees have lost their
crop 1t Is the best way to put the
trees In excellent condition by giving
them heavy pruning.

Good Fattening Ration
for Market Cockerels

Dry mash is as Important In the

often causes serious dropping or in

To get the highest production, a dry
mash ought to be In the feeders at all
tunes. mash composed OF 200 pounds
OF ground oats. 100 pounds OF bran
ioo pounds OF ground corn and rs
pounds Of tankage makes an excellent
summer feed for laying hens. BY
using this ground mash the hen does
nor have to use her energy as much
N aigesting and can keep up her lay
Ing.
Also. hens that are deprived OF n
good ration during the summer often

an early molt and do not lay. Expert |
menis have shown that moltlng hens /

Hens that are slow producers when
