AGAIN POSTPONE BOND DECISION
 AT JOINT MEET
School And Hospital Funds Given New De-
 lay By Action

Again no decision on the bond issues for county schools and Hillman hos pital resulted from a joint secret ses- sion Saturday morning of the present board of revenue and members-elect of the board that takes office in Novem- Der, according to a statement made pub lie following the meeting by President D. c. Ball. .,
 Members of the new board who at tended the meeting, including all but John Lewis, are reported as having asked postponement of the decision for 30 days, during which time they agreed to make a thorough investigation of the needs of the institutions asking for the bond issues. In making this request, it was said, the members-elect explained that the responsibility of floating the bonds, should the decision be favor able, will rest on the new board.
 Another meeting will be held at the end of 30 days, Mir. Ball said. He expressed the opinion that a decision at that time is certain.
 Failure Is Surprise.
 Failure of the board of revenue to indorse the bond issues requested by Dr. N. k. Baker, chairman of the county board of education, and by au- thorities of Hillman hospital, came as distinct surprise at the court house Saturday. Postponement of decisions have been made since the subject of the bonds was broached late last winter, but rumors prevalent during the past two weeks had led many to believe all necessary investigation already had been accomplished, and that decisions t oplace the issues in the hands of the voters next November would be rem dered Saturday.
 County board of education has asked for 100000 to carry out it's pro- gram of building and extension. The HiIlman asked for $600,OO0 for addi- tions. equipment, and increased per s0nnel.
 Varied Opinions On Bloc.
 Members of the present board of rev enue repeatedly have expressed their approval of the requests of the school and hospital authorities, but until re- gently have withheld indorsement of the issues because difficulties arose in ar- ranging a joint meeting. During the pnst week, this meeting finally was called, and Dr. Baker, for the schools. and others for the hospital, outlined their respective nedes before both the present and the 1924-2S boards Fol lowing this caucus, conference was scheduled for Saturday, when formal approval was to have been given.
 The bloc placed by the new board members has been variously inter preted by close followers of the issues Some have said that W. J. Waldrop, Eugene Reed, and S. R. BatsOn, new members, merely want to be sure of themselves before taking on the big re- sponsibility. Others have said that these men do not favor such larg- bond issues, because it will hamper the financial plans for the construction of the new court house. It also has been suggested that they. wish to consult John Lewis, one of the new members, who is not in Birmingham at this time, before making representative state ment of opinion.

u. s. GOVERNMENT SAVES
SEALS FROM EXTINCTION

'In 1912 only $4,000 seals remained
in Alaska, due to the illegal poaching
and indiscriminate killing of these
valuable animals. Today the seal herd
numbers 100000, due entirely to the
careful conservation of our govern
ment," said Mr.. o. E. Albrecht, of the
National Committee, appointed by
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover, on
marketing sealskins, for the govern
ment
In 1912 President Roosevelt made
the first step toward the preservation
of this valuable herd of animals by
negotiating treaty with England, Rus
sia and Japan, whereby only certain
proportion of the seals are killed each
year under direct supervision OF the
United States Government. These
skins are taken to st. Louis, dressed
and dyed there by the government
agents, and then sold at auction to the
fur trade each spring and fall
Tht value of the seal is entirely for
its fur. For genneerations, sealskin
has been priced very highly when
made into garments, and when the
herd was so very small, the skins
brought very high prices. At the last
sale, however, the government realized
very low prices on the skins, the low
est in many, many years.
1t is firmly believed, however, by
Mr.. Albrecht that the new low prices
will so stimulate the demand for seal
skin that the government, in the long
run, will profit greatly by the increase
in the size of the herd. Formerly, only
the very wealthy could afford sealskin
garments, while now the price is with
in reach of everyone.
This committee, consisting of the
heads of some of the largest depart
ment stores of New York, Boston, and
Chicago, besides Mr.. O. E. Albrecht,
the fur technical member from st.
Paul, also reported that the American
way of dressing the sealskins is a
great improvement on the old English
way. The skins are much more pli-
able and soft than ever before, and
consequently the garments made from
them hang more gracefully.
While the government did not re-
alize the former high prices out of
the last sale held in March, Mr.. AL.
brecht says that the greatly increased
demand for sealskin, due to the ex.
traordinary low prices, is bound to
mean that higher prices will prevail
at the next sale in October.

C. B. Moore returned Monday from a
six weeks visit with relatives ana
friends of boyhood days his first in 2S
years. Mr.. Moore was accompanied
by his sister Mrs. Ida Lee, and an OLD
time friend of the family, Mrs. IDA
Stonebrook, both of Altoona, Pennsyl'
vania.
On the way the party spent two
days in Denver, taking in the pupnc
buildings, parks, and amusement
resorts, and also spent a day at Colo
RADIO Springs and saw Manitou, the
Garden of the Gods, and other points
of interest. They passed through the
Royal Gorge in the day time, as well
as Black Canon, and express them
selves as delighted with Colorado.
One thing which seemed to partlcu'
larly impress them was the class of
people they found, as the populatioh
in their section is largely made up
of a foreign element.

Of" declared Mr.. Moore. From the
time I left Denver, July 3, until re-
turned. I hardly saw day in which
some rain did not fall. There are
hundreds of miles where the rain
has soaked the ground that it cannot
hold any more and lies in puddles on
the surface. In many sections crops
of all kinds are completely flooded
out, while in some others, particularly
in Nebraska, the corn is burned to
crisp by the intense heat and droutn.
OF course l saw some very nice corn,
and then I saw some which was worth
less"
On the trip East, Mr.. Moore went
direct to Washington, then to Balti-
more, Md, Harrisburg, Pa, and then
to Altoona, visiting relatives at all
those points.
