 RATES ARE REDUCED
Applies To Material For Use In
 Building Tallassee Dam
lState CapitoI Bureaul

MONTGOMERY, Ala., June B. New and reduced rates on sand and gravel, which will apply to an immense movement of these two articles for building the dam of the Alabama Pow CT company at Tallassee, were de- cided upon today by agreement, with out formal hearing of cases docketed before the Alabama public service com mission. There were two cases pending comprising petitions by the Western Railway of Alabama relative to gravel and sand rates, and a petition of the Roquemore Sand and Gravel company attacking certain of the Westerns and Birmingham and Southern railways rates on the articles. By agreement there will be established a rate of 65 cents on sand and gravel from Cooks. Arrowhead, Mt Meigs, Rice, Cheehaw and Montgomery to Tallassee and the same rate of 65 cents from all of the points except Montgomery to As berry, the rate from Montgomery to Asberry to be 75 cents. The Western had asked for rates of Toe and 79c in- stead of these which were decided on. It was stated that six to seven thou sand carloads of sand and gravel will benefit by the rates thus reduced.
 In another case the Public service commission granted the Central of Georgia a reduction in its sand and gravel rate from Montgomery to Troy to 75 cents per ton, to meet c0mpeti- tion from the Atlantic Coast Line Rail road, whose rate had been previously reduced to 75 cents by the commission.
 The commission also approved tele- phone rates of the Falkville Rural Telephone company, at Falktille, the new rate effective June I beingAS3 for one party business line, $2.50 for two party business line, $2 for one party residence, $1.50 for two party residence and $1.25 for four party residence lines, within one mile of central office.

LOCAL REALTORS
 HAVE BIG TIME
Birmingham Delegation Sets Pace At Washing
 ton Meeting

Birmingham. realtors, seventy strong, headed by the band of the Boys In dustrial school, rode into. Washington early Tuesday morning on a special Seaboard Air Line train, according to dispatches from The Age-Herald's s Washington bureau.
 They were wearing straw hats,/and Palm Beach suits, and Oscar Under wood buttons. Washington, having suffered unprecedented cold and rainy spring. were reminded by the Visitors garb that June had come, and late in the afternoon, everybody had discard ed his ancient fedora.
 The Birmingham realtors will at tend all the sessions of the convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, and will return home with great profit to themselves and their future clients. But they are not unmindful of the pleasant of life. For instance, it was announced that they would entertain with a dance in the biggest ballroom owned by the Hotel Willard. They will dance to the mu- sic of their own band, and that of Meyer Davis, the best in Washington
 In arranging for the party, they were confronted by the problem of lack of girls. This they solved by in- viting the Alabama society of Wash ington to be their guests with the un- derstanding that the society would guarantee an extra consignment of the gentler sex, one girl for each visitor, to be specific. The Birmingham real tors are headed by J. l.. Yancey, presi- dent and Sam c. Starke, secretary of the local association of real estate men. Two Birmingham realtors are on the big program, they are: Hill Ferguson, and Miss F. R. Mcbride. Only two other women will participate in the proceedings.

Do YOU think that after this girl

Is it just her misfortune that she

wife, who had no mind of her own
whatever, and who let everybody
else do her thinking for her, and
tell her where to get on, and where
to get off, would bore her husband
to tears.
My ideal woman is like yoJfs-a
poppy lady, who is full of ginger,
who is alive to her finger tips, who
is electric and simply seething with
energy She is the kind of a wom-

companion to live with as the meek
little mouse who has been under

girl who has had her spirit thorough

that YOU are an oracle and never

And, of course. after marriage

FARM EDUCATION.
BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

mixed hay along with it, to work
stock in particular. All classes of
live stock, including dairy cattle, do
best when fed some dry roughage.
For this reason, it is best to feed
coarse crops such as peavine hay in
their natural form. The commercial
feeds which farmers buy ordinarily
do not contain as much dry rough
age in the form of hay as we are
sometimes led to believe. They do,
however, contain quite variety of
grain by-products, which represent
the offal resulting from the manu-
facture of many human foods. The
great variety of materials at the
command of people who make mixed
feed gives them an advantage in
preparing formulas suited to the
needs of live stock which one sit
uated like yourself would find it diff
ficult to prepare in an economical
manner.
We are handling a large number
of live stock here on the college
farm representing varied breeds and
varied classes of animals. We have
found the method of procedure out
lined constitutes the most economical
and satisfactory way of disposing of
the very large amount of dry rough
age we are producing on the farm
Spraying Beans with White Arsenic

you will proceed in the manner in
dicated, you may use calcium arse

this year, combining it with lime
in the manner suggested. 1t has
proven a very desirable material for
this purpose. 1t is important to re-

not be used in the vicinity of peach

possess unusual merit.
