NETS $Il8.93 ON
 2 COTTON ACRES
Vocational Boys At Town Creek School Earn Big
 Profit
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU | THE AGE-HERALD
 MoultOn. Ala. Jan.

mouitOns Ala.s Jau. OJ Vocational agriculture has been
 taught in the Town Creek school for
 the past three years and is now be- ginning to show results. I. P. Thorn
 ton, the present teacher. who suc- ceeded Glenn E. Riddell in June. has
 reported some excellent rsults. Ernst Yarbrough, one of the stu
 dents, made c net profit of $11S.93 over his labor on a two-acre cotton project. He grew Cooks 10-10 variety
 and attributes his success to Hooking
 ahead" He bought pure see and kept them pure and can now sell his seed at $2.50 per bushel. Robert Jenkins
 has tried the same project and re- ports a net gain of $110.61. Ralph Britton, another member of the class. who had a cotton project reports a net gain of $111.75 from one and one-
 half acres planted in Wannamaker
 cotton but he failed to save his seed
 thereby losing what he might have otherwise added to his gains.
 Benford Key mas yusr crossed his three-year corn project. He used Meals paymaster corn which had
 been field selected by the vocational agriculture class for the past two years in succession.
 Last year he sold his corn at S2.5O the busel and already has part of 1t now engaged at $3 the bushe1. His net profit on the, project for thes year was $7245. His corn was on low land for this year and damaged consider
 ably by heavy rains.

GAS TAX STARTS MONTGOMERY ROW
Dealers Lead Fight Against City Tax Of One
 Cent +

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Jan. 5.-(By Associated Press.) - Montgomery during the week closing has been the scene of comment on every side relative to the additional gasoline tax and lubricating oil license in- crease announced by the city com- mission in 8 new ordinance adoted a week ago.
 Objection by oil dealers, automo- bile dealers, the press and Junior Chamber of Commerce has been raised on the new tax, while an- nouncement made by the city com mission at the time stated that such a step was necessary at the time.
 / Early in the week the Junior Chamber of Commercve and tns automobile association, along with ouns objections while local dailies branded 1t 'as an unjust tax"
 The oity tax provides for an ad- dltional ono cent tax on each gallon of gasoline sold and one-haf cent on each gallon of kerosene as well as additional $1,000 license on all callers of lubricating oils.
 Admittance. however, is expressed that the city needs additional funds Is heard. but opposition to the auto- mobile industry as the sole source of aditional revenue Is heard.
 It is pointed out that the action of the recent legislature served to increase taxation on gasoline to a higher level throughout the state with the local tax following closely on the heels of the state law.

TALLADEGA ENJOYS PROSPEROUS YEAR.
Big Forward Step Of 1923 Was Getting New Water
 System Under Way

TALLADEGA, Ala. Jan. .6.--(Spe. ial.)-With the close of 1923, Talla- degA can look back upon a very sat- isfactory year, which has shown progress and expansion many ways. and faces the new year with assur- continue. General business as q whole shows a substantial increase over the previous year.
 operated practically through the en- tire year, and there has been no lack of employment among any class of labor.
 The biggest forward step the city made in 1923 was the undertaking of providing Talladega with an ade- !quate supply of pure water derived from iTalladega creek at Taylor's Mill The work was commenced in early summer and has progressed rapidly, with the expectation of com pletion in the first months of the new year. The new water system, constructed along the most scientific lines, will be Talladega's best asset in 1924, assuring abundant supply for all purposes.
 Schools Improved.
 During the year the public school system of the city was greatly im- proved All of the school buildings were repaired and renovated. A bond issue was voted by the people for the construction of a high school build- ing. and a modern structure will be erected in 1924, to be ready for occu- pancy at the opening of the next session.
 The home shortage was to a degree relieved during the year by the building of Q number of residences, and in the coming year more will be put up.
 During 1928. the congregation of the First Methodist church practically $1o0.00o building. They expect to occupy the nc wchurch within the next two months. The North Ala bama conference accepted an invi- tation to meet in Talladega in 1924 in the First Methodist church.
 Quite an extensive improvement and building program Is anticipated ct the Alabama Schools for the Blind in }924, as the Legislature of Alabama at its last session provided funds for some much-needed expan- sion.
 e.&S A@AAAeUAS DEUNoCh00s
 .Talladega's trade territory has been greatly broadened during the past year, The business interests of the city have made especial efforts to reach out. The making of the Coosa river bridge free of toll by its acquisition by the state. with the cooperation of Talladega and St. Clair counties. has proved of bene- fit. which will increase as road con- ditions are bettered.
 The farming interests of the coun- ty have improved during the year, al- though weather conditions were un- favorable last spring and summer, especially for making cotton in face of the boil weevil. However, the high price of cotton in a measure compensated for the short crop. County farmers are hopeful of the new year and are now making prepa- rations for the new crop.
