IF Treasury certificates and notes
should be offered" Mr.. Mellon ex-
E4aHied, ''at rates of interest lower

Referring to the effect of govern

GUINEA .LIGH TS ON LIVE WI E. THEN TAKES AIR

UNION SPRINGS, Ala, Jan. 20.- 1 Especial. )-FoF garden variety of guinea to>perch on Q tree has low news value; for her to perch on n live wire of 2,300 voltage is little more news i; for her to follow this UP, by flight to the top of the nearby Bullock county court house, and to eackle down dersiye- iy at q crowd of 100 men and boys, is news, but not still more news, for the crowd was not still, neither was the soprano guinea soloist.
 As an advertising stunt, the guinea scored perfection. In fact, she did all l most too we'll. An enterprising mer- chant had big sale. He gave away l free gifts, one of which was this free dom-loying guinea. This guinea on re- lease eluded the crowd by line plunge and forward pass, and made a main l street record by flying, with 100 pur- suit boys and men flying also.
 With three races in pursuit, namely, white, colored and human, the guinea proceeded to educate herself among the higher branches of an oak. Soon a small member of chicken loving race climbed higher, and the guinea taxied l to live wire. On this wire she could not roost and keep her equilibrium, so with combination of bobbings of the ] tail and motions of the wing, slie quail fled as flapper, or tight wire artist, until Ethiopia again penetrated her safetly zone.
 Following these tail spins, the guinen mounted to the topmost part of the court house. then yolplaned' down to the roof, from which she walked back and forth and gave the hungry. crowd the once over. and proceeded to sing 2 swan song. At last accounts the county officials were trying to find some way to take a flyer in the poultry business and go high enough to get the gninsn down. Others were saying that eggs meyer were so high in Union Springs and some were lamenting that meat had never been as high, since the famed bovine jumped over the moon.
 In the meantime, the merchant says that it is the unusual that has adyer- tising value, and that Sanything that has advertising value also has news value Y

The work of the new state forestry commission and of the recently elected state forester, Major Page s. Bunker. will be devoted for time to conducting campaign of education, and to arsus- ing public interest in -reforestation and intelligent exploitation of existing for ests, according to Commissioner of Conservation I. T. Quinn. Commis- sioner Quinn has been an active advo- cate of forest conservation for years, and sees in the state forestry law en- acted by the 1923 legislature basis for 'an active forestry program in Ala. bama. E
 One of the outstanding features of the new laY, as discussed by Mir. Quinn, is the provision whereby land owners may enter into contract with the state guaranteeing them against any increase in the assessed value of timber over period of years. The commissioner stated that contracts of this kind are expected to prove par ticulafly attractive to small land own ers,. though they may be entered into by any one having an acreage devoted to timber, whether 10 acres or 10000. The contract must be entered into for at least five yearsT and for such time longer than that, as may be agreed upon, the landowner being assured against any increase irf tax values while the timber is growing. When the timber is cut, the state will receive 10 per cent of tthe gross stumpage value of the timber yield, as payment for having guaranteed the landowner against tax raises while the timber crop was growing. Land thus con tracted for by between the state and individuals for timber growing will constitute what is termed "auxiliary state forests in the new forestry act.
 h commenting on the possibilities of intelligent handling of forests in Ala bama, Commissioner Quinn said that this state has 6,500, ,0O0- heres of land unsited for agriculture which it is hoped some day to have devoted to the production of a paying crop of timber. Timber is grown today in Europe as a money crop, in an intelligent and sys- tematic manner, but the American has not advanced far beyond the pioneer stage where the forests were classed pediments to civilization, to be ruth lessly cleared up and destroyed. In re- cent years there has been a more in- telligent appreciation of the need of conserving of forest and growing more timber and guard against timber famine inSview of the rapid manner in which the woodlands of the United States has bene depleted in recent years. The new Alabama forestry law has been pronounced one of the best yet devised by any state; and the new state forester, Major Page s. Bunker, former assistant state forester of Tex as, will come to Alabama highly rec commended for the office. As q result, more intelligent and scientific hand ling of Alabama's timber resurces is nredicted for the Years ahead.
