 Today
(Ressemer Bureau


 RESSEMER. Ala, Dec. 14.-More +bon TWO score women will join male workers in Bessemer's Y. NJ. C. A., cam paign this morning in a last-minute ef- fort to top the $75,OO0 mark by to- night.
 Men of the city have failed to come forward in the numbers campaign or ficials hoped for, it was announced at an inspirational meeting yesterday a1ter- noon, and as a consequence call was issued for women to assist those who have carried on the canvass so far. There were many women at the meet ing, which was held at the "" building and many of these volunteered Tor serv- ice all day. Others who found it i'm possible to leave home during the morn ing, announced that they will attend the workers luncheon at o'clock to- day and spend the afternoon in the field.
 Drive Ends Tonight
 Campaign officials and workers are bending every effort toward reaching the binding point" by tonight's meet ing when the campaign is supposed to close All subscriptions have been taken with the understanding that they are binding only in case S75,0OO is raised, and it is toward topping this mark to- day that canvassers are working.
 As a prelude to the final days drive, the campaign was discussed in every church in the city yesterday. A ma jority of the ministers mentioned it either at the morning or the evening services, and in practically every church appeals for contributions were made to the adult Sunday school classes. At the meeting yesterday afternoon it was announced that there had been no opportunity to ascertain how much was subscribed, but the results of the church work were characterized as encouraging.
 Workers To Report
 The meeting of workers and others which is to be held at 1 o'clock today is expected to be the most notable of the campaign. Not only will all work res be present, but the local Rotary. ,'iwanis, and Lions. clubs will attend ;n body. Directors of the chamber of commerce will also attend while urgent invitations have been sent to members of the city council, the county board of revenue, and the county and city boards of education.
 From the membership of these organi- cations, it is expected that workers will receive many endorsements for the afternoons canvacS.
 At the dinner tonight, it is expected that every committee will be ready to report except that which has been devoting its time to corpora tions in and around the city. It may be several days yet before this body's work is com pleted, it is said.

Water Project To Provide Source Of Electricity
 For Los Angeles

Out in Fresno county, Clarifornia, at the headwaters of the San Joaquin river, the longest tunnel in the world is rapidly nearing completion. The gigantic project, of which some photo graphs are shown above, was begun Tn 1911 and. when completed sometime early in 1925, will have diverted the waters of the San Joaquin 10 miles from their course. Electrical power plants will transform the colossal hy- draulic energy into electricity to be transmitted to the city of Los Angeles, 270 miles distant. George Clinton IS vice president of the southern Call lorna Edison company and is in charge of the construction.
 In all of the achievements the engi- neers and construction managers have worked hand in hand with inventors, chemists and manufacturers, and bear their share in the progress of tunnel making which the Florence Lake tunnel has contributed to the store of the worlds knowledge These for the most part are matters of technique, and al ready they have taken their place in treat tise, text book and formula; but the human interest stories of the Flor ence Lake tunnel supply entertaining tales for larger audience.
 Twelve Years Sees Changes
 Twelve years is long time in the life of construction project. Children who went with their parents when the work was started have grown to man. hood and taken their places with their fathers ill carrying it on. Babies born on the job and some of them reared be- hind the snow drifts are now ill the flower of their youth attending the big school in the little electric city which was once the first construction camp. The crude habitations of the early en- gineers are now comfortable homes, and the tents where the first workmen dwelt have given place to substantial quarters with sanitary inspection of bedding. shower baths and electric lights.
 Yet few more months remain and the boring of the Florence Lake tun- ncl, which will exceed in length and size of bore, the Rogers Pass tunnel on the Canadian Pacific and the Simplon tun- mel under the Swiss-Al Alps-the only two tunnels in the world comparable in leigth and size, will have been com pleted.

REPORT CASES
 OF SMALL POX
 IN BESSIE MFR
No Fear Of Epidemic, Say Health
 Authorities
(Bessemer Bureau)

BESSEMER, Ala, Dec. 14.-Small- pox is more prevalent within the city limits of Bessemer at this time than has been the case in several years, health authorities say, though they are not alarmed, nor do they fear an epld- emic They are making public condl- tions only that Bessemer people may be on their guard and take preven- tive treatments.
 At this time there are six cases among white people here, and about nine among negroes. None of the cases are of the virulent type and in fact no deaths from the disease directly have been reported in many months. The disease is in a mild form and authorities think it is being commun- icated largely through the children.
 There were only five cases of small pox reported during the entire year of 1923, and the record for this year is more than 40 already.
 The most important preventive meas ure that health authorities urge is vaccination, and they state that those persons who have not been vaccinated, and who reside in localities where the disease is prevalent should receive this treatment at once.

SWEET CLOVER GOOD
TO FEED WITH CORN

With the increase in con acre
age in Roosevelt county for this year
and the increase in livestock pro
duction. we are confronted with an
other problem which demands con-
siderable attention on the part Of
the farmers. With an assurance of
a corn crop every year we 7 sure
of a fattening feed for livestock, but
we have not a balanced or s~atisfac-
tory feed in corn alone. The grow
ing of sweet clover or alfalfa for
pasture and hay to be used with the
corn makes a very satisfactory com
bination of feeds. Probably our best
crop at the present time is sweet
clover.
Sweet clover is adapted to semi
arid conditions and will produce on
a wide range of soils. Resists alkali
to a remarkable degree and thrives
fairly well on hard gumbo soils. It
is not a weed except in uncultivated
fields and alfalfa seed fields. It is
hardy in Montana.
Both white and yellow lowered
varieties give satisfactory results.
The white produces more hay but is
apt to become coarse. The yellow
is finer stemmed and about two
weeks earlier. Usually preferred for
pasture and quality hay. The Arctic
(white) seed clover is earlier and
finer stemmed than the ordinary
white.
Clean certified seed is recommend
ed especially for spring planting.
termination is better, more uniform
and on time to avoid some weed
competition. incubation is seldom
necessary in Montana.
Firm seed bed we'll supplied with
moisture is best. Summer fallowed
on 0 stubble land preferred. Gull
tivate shallow to kill the weeds and
work the top soil lightly to preserve
solid seed bed. Plant shallow, not
more than a half inch, early in the
spring. Rate 8 to IL pounds to the
acre. Sowing with nurse crop at
tended with risk but seldom profit
able to do otherwise. Sow nurse crop
not more than 2-3 regular rate. Flax,
peas, barley, Marquis wheat or oats
preferred in order mentioned.

miles north is benefited. She is
now getting $48 a year, but what
about the $50 that is to be deduct

But how about this patriotic gen
tleman who is so afraid to lose his
manhood and Americanism, should
the Society force the Government
to issue rations to the Indians?
We wonder how he lives; is he
drawing rations or is he paid to write
articles for newspapers or is he liv-
ing on %gophers?
The Society of American Indians
is a national organization, many of
its members are white people and
they are all working for the good of

being done or said at these meetings
that works injury to the Indians, we
