BROTHER RETURNS
 FUGITIVE CASHIER
Practically All Phenix City Bank
 Shortage Is Recovered

COLUMBUS, Ga, May 13.-James R. Jackson, cashier of the Phenix- Girard bank of Phenix City, Ala, near here, who fled this morning with more than $12,O00 of the banks currency in a suitcase, was brought to Colum- bus late today by his brother, who lives in Thomaston.
 The Jacksons, with two officers of the bank. checked the returned money against the shortage which was estab- lished when the young cashier left. Jackson said practically all the short age was in the suitcase.
 Officials of the bank declined to comment other than to say that prose- cutiOn seemed necessary under the cir cumstances.
 Jackson had been employed by the institution four years. He is mar ried and has three children.
 According to his own story, he put all of the banks currency into the suit case and drove to Thomaston in a taxi cab. Learning of the dedication, the brother forced him into small coupe and brought him here, where bank of- ficialS were summoned.

Birmingham voters piled up a tremendous majority in the special referendum Tuesday for the $s,- 50O, 900 school bond issued and the $650,00o issue for q r1odern public library.
 The school bond mill tax levy and the levy for school maintenance also carried by overwhelming ma jorities.
 Complete returns had been re- ceived from only about half of the city boxes when this edition of The Age-Herald was printed, but both bond issues and the mill tax levies had won smashing victories in prac- tically every one of these boxes, leaving no doubt as to the final re- suit
 Indications early Wednesday were that the final returns would show the bond issues carried by q vote of epproximateiy 6 to !.

 The school bond money will be ex. peisded in erecting n number Of new school buildings and in making exien. sive repairs and enlaFgements in many of the present buildings. Recommen- dations contained in recent survey of the school system by the city board of education will be followed closely.
 The library board. will take early steps towards starting work on the new building. The library now is housed on the fourth floor of the city hall. Officials for months have de- clared the, library to be dangerous fire-trap. Moreover, the floor space is inadequate to meet the growing needs of the library and it's thousands of

BILLY SUNDAY BEING RUSHED
 TO MAYO CLINIC
Famous Evangelist Is Forced To Discontinue
 Memphis Services

MEMPHIS, Tenn. May 13.-Rev. W. A. Billy" Sunday was on his way tonight to Rochester, Minn., sick man, to enter the clinic of Mayo Brothers for consultation and treat ment for kidney infection which, for several months, has caused gradual decline in his health and a slowing up" eliminating in an illness that caused him to abandon a revival cam paign here-the first real break in his activity during his 32 years as an evangelist.
 Mir. Sunday, attended by his, physi- elan, Dr. R. l.. Sanders, and nurse, left Memphis aboard a special ear at- tached to a fast Illinois Central train shortly after 10 o'clock. He was ac- eompanied by Mrs. Sunday, who still is suffering from the effects of inju- ries received ten days ago when she was struck by an automobile, his daugh- ter, Mrs. M. H. Haines of Sturgis. Mich, and R. l.. Peterson, member of his staff.
 Just before the departure of the train, Dr. Sanders issued a statement in which he described Mir. Sunday s illness as an impaired kidney function. DF. Sanders declared that the condi- ton had resulted in an infection due to backing up of urea in the blood. He denied that his illness had reached the stage of uraemic poisoning.
 Had Been Declining
 MT. Sunday had been declining in health, little by little, for three months or more," Dr. Sanders said, but his condition did not become pronounced until ten days ago when he suffered chill and was forced to take to his bed. On the same day Mrs. Sunday was injured. The following day an ex- animation and blood test discovered his real condition-an impaired kidney function.
 From that time on Mir. Sunday was not free from fever and the continua- tion of his revival campaign last week was over the protest of his physicians. Saturday night fighting to carry on, he collapsed and his condition became such as to make it imperative that he discontinue his activities and go to a hospital. This he finally agreed to and rlans were perfected for the journey to Rochester"
 Will Come Back"
 
 Dr. Sanders said tho treatment he would have to undergo could not be determined until after he reached the Rochester hospital but expressed the opinion that he would come back"
 I've been driving the old machine pretty hard for 30 years and I guess some of the bearings are hot-In have 10 go in the repair shop for a while, 5 Mir. Sunday said just before he board ed his train.
 Mir. Sunday walked through the rail road station to his car but with a somewhat faltering step. He retired immediately. Mrs. Sunday was brought to the train on a cot.
 The train aboard which the party are travelling will reach Chicago shortly before noon tomorrow. They will leave Chicago for Rochester tomorrow night.

Free Trip to National
Dairy Show AT Milwaukee
For Boy or Girl Champion-One
Day Sightseeing Trip in Chicago
Is Included

The champion members of the
Boys and Girls Dairy Calf Clubs of
Minnesota will receive as prize a
free trip to the great National Dairy
Show to be held in Milwaukee this
fall, with a one day sightseeing trip
in Chicago included. The champion
members in thirteen other states will
receive the same awards.
The fourteen prize trips, which will
be a big event in the lives of the
winning boys and girls, are offered
by the Blue Valley Creamery Co.,
which will pay all expenses of the
fourteen champions and see to it
that they have a wonderful time,
both educational and pleasant. The
company according to M. A. Nye of
the Blue Valley Farm Service, be-
lieves thoroughly in the value of the
boys and girls dairy calf club work
5 for improving the dairy industry, in
teresting boys and girls in better
dairying and developing the highest
type of citizens among the young
people on the farms.
Bona fide dairy calf club boys
and girls with records up to date and
who are working under the supervis-
ion of the extension service of the
Minnesota agricultural college, and
of the same service in other states,
are eligible to compete for the trip.
Blue Valley will have nothing to do

phases of rural tax problems.
Such committees would be known
as tax committees and would be ap.
pointed through the local Farm Bur
eau organizations.
1t would be the duty of these COM
nittees to ascertain the amount of
taxes paid by their respective COM
munities, and the manner in which
these taxes are distributed, with a
view to finding out how these taxes
might be reduced with the least in
convenience.
Several county Farm Bureaus al
ready have such committees which
are doing excellent work. Special
attention is called to the work which
has been done by the tax committee
set up in Redwood county. 1t has
made some interesting discoveries
with regard to tax payments and tax
distribution.
Minnesota offers a fertile field for
such studies, as disclosed by a recent
study in Redwood county. One fact
brought out, for instance, was that
the average tax millage for Mime
sofa counties, as a whole, is over SO
mills, while the millage in Redwood
county is something over 38 mills.
What makes the difference? There
must be some interesting studies be-
hind these figures.

with determining the winners. That
will be done by the college extension
service. But as soon as the extern
sion service notifies Blue Valley of
the name of the Minnesota winner
and those of the thirteen other
states, Blue Valley will send out
funds for railroad transportation,
sleeper, meals, etc., for each boy or
girl. When they reach Milwaukee
and till they get back home, the boys
and girls will be the guests of Blue
Valley and no effort will be spared to
give them most interesting trip,
highly educational and a glorious
time all around.

All Roads Will Lead to lIMain
Street" for the Biggest Fourth of
July Celebration in Many Years

With fair weather the largest
crowd assembling in Sank Centre
for many years will be on hand to-
morrow to enjoy the celebration of
the nations Independence Day put
on under the auspices of the Fair
Association and American Legion.
At a meeting of the general COM
mittee held at the Community Club
rooms last evening the final details
of this monster celebration were ar
ranged and the program should
prove an enjoyable one from start
to finish, concluding with the splen-
did display of fireworks at the
Dreamland grounds in the evening
in conjunction with the big dance.
The base ball game between
Alexandria and Bertha will be
thriller. Last Sunday the two
teams were compelled to go ten in
nings at Bertha before the famous
colored pitcher, Donaldson, was
able to subdue the Alexandria
sluggers. On July 4th Alexandria
will be strengthened with the addi-
ton of the mighty Doc Sutton, spit
ball artist, and his catcher which
will round out very strong team
The purse is one of the most liberal
ever offered for Fourth of July
game, and both teams will be on their
toes to cop the winners end.
Lawrence Dolson of Sank Centre
has been catching for the Alexandra
team all season and in the game with
Bertha Sunday he covered himself
with glory, according to word re-
ceived by the Herald editor from
Manager Sohle of the Alexandria
team. In tomorrow's game Dolson
will be stationed at the keystone
sack and if the rest of the Alexandra
infelders play up to Dolson't stand
ard, Bertha will have veritable
stone wall to go up against.
| Because Bertha is much smaller in
size than Alexandria, base ball fans
must not arrive at the conclusion that
Donaldson, their famous colored pit
cher, is the entire team. Perhaps nc
town in Minnesota of its size, has
more base ball talent of ability than
has Bertha. For number of years
they have had very strong team in
the field and with the addition OF
Donaldson this season they have
been meeting and cleaning all COM
ers.
There will be an admission charge
to the ball game of Soc for adults
and 25c for children under twelve
There will be no additional charge
for the grandstand or automobiles to
the grounds.
The tentative arrangement pub
lished in the Herald of last week rel
alive to the Kitten ball game be-
tween the Sank Centre business men
and the Progressive Farmers Club
of the Mccormick Lake territory for
loving cup offered by the Best
Schultz Lumber Co., has been def
nitely fixed.

series of three games between the
two organizations and the team win

instead of having to contest for il
