Power company.
Company May Appeal
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1923-01-13

In support of the protest it is stated
that the value of the Alabama Power
company is not s3S,S43,252 and does
not exceed s21,5oO,00O and that the
value fixed is from $10,000.000 to
$12,000,000 above its proper value.
The intervenors then point out that
they had their own experts investi-
gate and they were prepared to- sub
stantiate the figures they presented.
Contrary to express provision of
law it is claimed the valuation was
fixed in disregard of original cost.
such original cost being in round
numbers S1S,400.000 as against the
valuation of s33.S43252 upon which
the commission based it's finding or
a difference of s14,00o,00o
Arithmetrical Averages
1t is then alleged that the COM
missions figures are in almost every
case anarithmetical average of fig
ures presented by Hagenah & Erick-
son and Mr.. Mcdonnell and those of
the Alabama Power company. THE
commission says the petition. Says
Hagenah & Erickson fixed the item
of going concern at 100000 and
that Mr.. Mcdonnell fixed it at
S3,T50.O00 The commission fixed it
at s4.375,000." This result was
reached, it is stated. in the petition
by adding the two amounts together
and dividing by two, very unscien-
tific method In the same way the
commission arrived at the value of
undeveloped water power.
1t is also claimed that proper al
lowance was not made for deprecia-
ton and that intervenors are pre-
pared to show that total depreciation
-.
less than $3,275,699.
And these intervenors further
show" says the petition, that the
order of the commission fixed the
value working capital at s2.25S,241,
whereas neither Hagenah &
Ericks son nor Mcdowell placed the
same in excess of s1,s500Oo. Inter-
venors are prepared to show that
items of s16,650.S35.s5 carried on the
books of the Alabam Power company
as part of the cost of its plant
and made up as follows: Promotion

SULPHUR Great Benefit
To Plant Life Generally

Attention is called to the advertise
ment in this issue of Inoc-Sul, or in
oculated sulphur, manufactured
product of the Texas Sulphur Com
pany.
The scientific point involved is that
no plant growth is possible without
the element of sulphur; without it
crop yields are bound to be unsatis-
factory.
The claim of Inoc-Sul is that when
it is applied properly to the soil, it
will control and check potato scab
sugar beet scab, sweet potato scurf,
eel worms, and many other enemies
and diseases of plants which cause
loss to the farmers.
Possibly the farmers here are most
interested in the potato question.
Scurf is very common where sweet
potatoes are grown. According to sta
tistics, over fifty per cent of the sweet
potatoes grown are diseased when
shipped to market. A large part of
this loss can be stopped, it is claimed,
by the use of Inoc-Sul. The same can
be said of the white potato scab.
Farmers would do we'll to look into
the claims of Inoc-Sul.

cast, and the young actors entered in
to the spirit of the play and gave a
most realistic performance.
Each one in the cast, from "Jones,"
the star to the Swedish maid and the

merited compliments.

English in the High School, who d.
rected the play is to be congratulate
ed upon the success Of the affair
"What Happened to Jones" has added
another to the list of dramatic sue

his administration. He held the con-
f.dence Of those in whom lay the power
to support the educational system b.
money appropriations, and he gener-
ally received from their hands what
ever, in his judgment, the schools
needed.
He was respected and beloved by all
who served under him, whether in the
capacity of teachers or in any other
way, and when he retired he carried
with him the regrets of all engaged
in educational service.
The high esteem in which he was
held was evidenced by the splendid
gift at Christmas Of a solid silver
drinking service, presented by teach
ers and others connected with the
school system.
And, in order to preserve his name
and memory in the annals Of the
County history splendid por-
trait of him has been framed and
hung in the office of the School Boarl
Of the county, tribute of esteem by
those with whom he Immediately
worked.
The State now comes forward anG
recognizes his ability and worth as an
educator, and has drafted him fol-
service to the Commonwealth of
Maryland. It goes without saying
that he will be of valuable assistance
in settling the various educational
problems which may arise.
The Democrat extends congratula-
tions to Mr.. McMaster, and we are
sure the whole county feels that he
has brought to it an honor that car
not be considered other than that Of
the highest.

He has been one of the Fathers" of wartime en- tertainers, having made thousands forget their troubles during the Boer War in South Africa, the Spanish American War, in the Philippine Is lands, and fourteen months in the last Great War-doing his acrobatic stunts in France. With his acrobatics. comic antics, and tumblings he will show the young folks how to keep strong so they will be young at SO.

SWISS ALPINE YoDLERS

Here We are with a program all the way from Switzerland. This will be given by some of the most distin- guished artists of that country-the Fiechtel Swiss Yodlers, from Tryol. The members will appear in the love- ly national costumes of the Alpiners, and all of them possess fine voices and that original Swiss expession which is characteristic of Alpine peo- pie. The program consists of bass, so- prano and contrs'to numbers. with zither and piano accampaniments.
 This company of Alpine Yodlers ap- peared in this country some thirty five years ago and has been on every leading concert tour on the continent. For the past thirteen years the Yod- lers have been on Chautauqua pro grams, and have been brought back from Switzerland year after year.
 The company consists of five. Mrs.

Mrs. Fiechtl, manager and owner of the company, has sung with Karl Gardner and other notable people, and is said to be one of themost per feet yodlers in Switzerland. Mrs. Otto Kuester, the contralto, is not only thoroughly trained in mountain yod- ling, but is also an entertainer of rare ability. Anna Fiechtl, soprano, gives mountain calls in true Swiss fashion, echoes and yodles songs, with all their original charm. No one in America can give such genu- inc reproduction of these Alpine mu- sical specialties as Anna Fiechtl. The zither, which is the principal musi- cal instrument of the Swiss people, played by MT. Marchetti, who richly supports the work of this company.
 Together with this specialized work the members give several short acts and readings which are inter- spersed with mandolin and guitar solos. This company is undoubtedly the best of it's kind in America today.

 At Knik, MT. Cotter learned that a native boy had been killed in the same manner near there in July Some natives were at their fishing place when three bears appeared. The largest was driven off, the men in the party returning to fish.
