fire truck. 1t is equipped with high
speed gears and according to MI
Judge the truck will easily make % to
40 miles per hour.
Before delivering the truck TO
Karnes City, Mr.. Judge drove 1t TO
the San Antonio central fire station
for Chief Goetz's inspection. He said
it was a neat job and highly COM
mended Mr.. Judge for his ability to
construct such an efficient fire truck.
He remarked that it was just the thing
for small towns and would doubtless
fill every need for fire protection there.
The truck is equipped with a 12U-

RE0PENING OF BIG ROANOKE COTTON MILL AIDS WHOLE SECTION

wEDOWEE. Ala, Feb. s.-(Spe- cial)-Reorganization of the W. A. Handley Manufacturing company and the reopening of the big cotton mill at Roanoke is the signal for renewed activity in Randolph county. The closing of the mill during the de- pression was a great blow to this section and it's reopening Is eagerly awaited.
 It is said that when the mill Is ready to run the superintendent, Mir Enloe. who has been with this con- cern almost from it's beginning, will give all the mills former operatives jobs, if they wish to come back.
 The overall and doll factory at Roanoke has been running steadily The lumber yards and machine shops seem to be getting the business More produce Is bringing a fair price. The farmers have largely recovered from the blues. Some small grain has been sown and so far the winter has been very favorable to 1t. From most all of the saw mills in the county a steady stream of lumber is going to shipping points to be shipped to the distant markets.
 What is in this county a new in- dustry has sprung up-that of get ting out crossties. All through the late fall and this winter numbers or men and teams in almost every com munity have been busy making and hauling crossties. So many have been delivered at the A. B. and A. depot that they can hardly find room to stack them

GREATEST DEMAND FELT FOR HOMES| IN OVER ID YEARs|
Moderate Priced Residences for Workers Being Erected at Gadsden, AttaIla and
 Alabama City
GADsDEN BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD ! Gadsden, Ala, Feb. 8

Building operations in Gadsden and throughout Etowah county promise to be more extensive in 1923 than in any year in the past 10, and will be confined largely to the erection of moderate priced homes, although a number of busi- ness houses are being planned. Right now the demand for houses is the greatest in several years and as soon as the spring season opens hun dreds will be going up all over the city, according to contractors, who say they are having any number of inquiries.
 This condition also exists in At talla and Alabama City, where so many working people will have to be housed if the industries of the district are to find sufficient labor.
 East Gadsden, an unincorporated town across the river, is doing more building at present than any sec ton of the county, because of so many cheap lots being available, and if the proposed $300,o0o traf- fife bridge is built during the year, as is planned, that place will grow at an amazing rate.
 Building Material in Demand
 Manufacturers of building material declare that the demand for their output is so heavy that most of the mills are forced to run day and night, the two largest ones being well sold far into the first quarter of the year, It is stated that much of the material sold outside of the city is for rural schc ols in nearby Alabama counties, but it is expected that the local demand for houses will soon be such that everything will be used here at home.
 Hardware stores claim that they have had the best January business in their history and that much of it was due to the sale of builders ma terial. All of them have placed record breaking orders with factories and jobbers in anticipation of the build ing boom that appears certain. Labor is coming in from every section of the country and it is believed that, for the first time in a decade there will be no shortage Cf either skilled or common labor. The big problem is how the workmen are to be housed and it promises to be solved by the erection ef a record-breaking number of homes.

INCONSISTENCIES SHOW A DECREASE IN CULLMAN

HANCEVILLE, Ala. Feb. 3.-(Spe- cial.)--.It seems that the distillation of moonshine liquor is on the de- crease, although there seems to be no accepted explanation of its cause. But nevertheless indications ana rec ords show that the production Of "moonshine" liquor in Cullman coun- ty has suffered a tremendous slump during the past few months.
 Possibly it could be that the de- mand is much less than it has for merly been or it may be that other occupations offer more profits dur ing the winter months and without the risk of serving a couple of years at Kilby or some other state board ing "school."
 The slump is ascribed in no small measure to the vigilance of officers of the law. Sheriff Lambert and his deputies, who are if anything more diligent at the present time. have been reporting fewer and fewer still
 captured.

BIRMINGHAM PASTOR
 ACCEPTS CALL FROM CHURCH AT WETUMPKAI

wETUMPKA, Ala. Feb. s.-The Baptist church has extended a call to Rev. L. T. Reeves of Birmingham to the pastorate of the church. It Is understood that Rev. Reeves has ac- cepted the call and will enter upon his new duties on March l.
 The Baptist church is fortunate in securing pastor to take up the work immediately after the resigna- tion of Rev. J. R. Curry becomes eff fective. Rev. Reeves was reared in Elmore county and is known per sonally by a number of Wetumpka people. He has filled the pulpit here on several occasions and pleased the congregation. His call to the pas- torate of the Wetumpka Baptist church was unanimous.

F FACTORY MAY BE
 BUILT IN CULLMAN FUR CRATE MAKING
Strawberry Growers Are Now Spending $10,000 Out stide of the County for
 Containers
{ CAPT. CoRMAN R. JONES

HANCEVILLE. Ala, Feb. 3.-(Spe- cial.)-As raising of strawberries becomes more and more a leading industry in Cul1man county, the Strawberry Shippers >sociation has under consideration plan to manufacture crates used by the shippers. Last year about $10,000 was sent outside of the county for crates. More than 3o,O00 crates are expected to be used this year. It is pointed out that Q crate factory here would keep lot of money at home.
 The Strawberry Shippers associa- tion came into existenve some eight years ago, and has developed into one of the county's. most growing enterprises. The first year it was organized the entire association con sisted of eight or ten members. De- spite this small start, the organiza- tion is an asset to Hanceville in particular, and the county in gen. 
 eral.
 According to an estimate made by one of the county's leading business men, more than s150,0O0 has been brought into the county from the strawberry crop, alone.
 Shipped 70 Cars
 Hanceville shipped. during the 1922 berry season a total of 70 car loads averaging 440 crates each, making a grand total of SO,S0O crates. Varying prices were received for the berries, some of the earliest bringing very fancy prices. It can be safely said that the farmers net ted s1.50 per crate for tEe seasons crop. At the above price the 30,S00 crates of berries would net s46,200.
 The association besides being the medium between producer and con- sumer, also furnishes the farmer an- other saving. It buys the crates wholesale In carloads lots. thereby saving the producer quite sum of money. The officials of the associa- tion, however. are at present figur- ing on organizing company, and buying the necessary machinery, with which to manufacture their own crates.
 ing are bothsin their infaRcy. as this years increasing shipments will no doubt, show. This association has steadily grown until 1t has attained membership of over 500 farmers.

NOTED NEW YORK PASTOR
 SPEAKS AT M0NTEvALL0

MONTEvALLO. Ala, Feb. 3.-(Spe- cial.) l.)-Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor of the Central Congregational church, Brooklyn, N. Y., was the lecturer at the Alabama Technical Institute and College for Women on Thursday eve ming, February l.
 He was the most fascinating lec- turer that has ever visited this in stitution. His subject was Lights and Shadows in the World" He made a strong plea for worldwide peace, though he did not mention President Wilson but once and only in an in cidental way, it was very evident that he was an ardent advocate of the League of Natoins, and that the great blunder of all generations was made by the few senators when they discarded the league, that had been worked out by President Wilson and others at Versailles.
