Resolution on Use Of Flag

At a meeting of the Somerset
County Veterans Association held at
Canaan June 20 the following pre-
amble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted. viz:
Whereas, the Governor of this
state has seen fit to order the flag
of the State Capitol set at half mast
on account of the death OF his pct
dog, an act which not only exceeded
his official or individual right, but
was one of disrespect to the flag,
therefore
Resolved. That VIC the the mem
bers of Somerset County Veteran
Association desire to record our pro-
test against his act as wrong. I'M
worthy and unpatriotic use of the
flag, and one deserving the condcm-
nation of all loyal Americans.

GRAY BUSY CHECKING
 NAMES OF OFFICIALS
Letters Of Instrution To Be Mailed
 Cause Heavy Work

Without fear, favor or compensa- ton, l.. E, Gray, secretary of the city commission and ex-officio sec retary of the election commission is up to his eyebrows in the new city directory checking the addresses of the election managers and clerks who will preside at the polls August 28 when Birmingham decides whether or not the jitney ordinance shall supplant that adopted by the city settling affairs with the street car company.
 Just mere matter of eos letters has MT. Gray to write, mail and find the addresses of those who are to receive them. For a week, between moments of attending to his regular duties, he has been on this task and is two thirds of the way through, and hopes to have the other 206 in the mail before sundown Saturday.
 The letters of instruction he is sending out are, of course, mimeo- graphed forms, but names, addressed, polling places and other data must be filled in, the envelopes addressed and stamped, and MT. Gray, despite his sunshiny and lovable disposition, is apt to glance up with anything but benevolent expression, for the time being, when he is interrupted.

SOUGHT BY DEALERS CUT IN GRAIN RATES
Birmingham Men Claim Present
 Schedule Shuts Off Market

Consuming markets along the gulf coast and the lower Mississippi val ley are virtually closed to grain deal- CTS of Birmingham, because of the revision in gIRin rates made by the fourth section committee of the southern carriers, effective July 7, 1923, which had the effect of restrict ing the rate published on grain from Ohio river crossings, Kansas City, Omaha and other Missouri river points to the gulf ports so as not to apply by way of Birmingham, ao- cording to information received by the Birmingham Traffic association.
 The association Wednesday filed with the interstate commerce com mission a formal complaint involving the rates on grain and grain products from those middle western grain markets to Birmingham. In this complaint it is alleged that the grain dealers in Birmingham are laboring under a serious handicap and that the carriers serving the Birmingham district are preferring cities in the Mississippi valley and on the gulf coast.
 The Traffic association protested against the realignment of these grain rate before they became effec- tive July 1, 1923, but, since the com mission had before it revised rates affecting four other commodities, no definite action was taken. It Is now felt that by getting this matter be- fore the commission in an individual complaint covering only the grain rates the desired relief can be ob- tained for the Birmingham district.
