OHIO FARM FOR RENT,
PAY FOR UPKEEP ONLY

A statement from an Ohio paper
says that an Ohio farmer has offered
to turn over, rent free, to any respon-
sible farmer any one of three good
farms which he owns providing the
farmer will pay the axes, assessments
and insurance on the property, keep
up the necessary fences, make neces-
sary repairs and maintain the soil
fertility. One farm has 40 acres,
another so acres and the third $50
acres. The good land now lies idle,
produces no income, does not pay
the taxes.
The farmer needs from the govern
ment none of the quack remedies
which half-baked vote seeking politi-
clans suggest and advocate. What
he needs, and what we all need, is
just simplifed, economical govern
ment, based solely on the principle
of the greatest good to the greatest
number.

COVERED WAGON, D: & R.
THEATER FOR THREE DAYS
Lois Wilson as Molly Wingate in ''The
Covered Wagon"

"The belle of Old Liberty town."
That's Molly Wingate, heroine of
''The Covered Wagon" a new Para
mount picture, produced by James
Cruze, one of the most compelling
screen dramas produced in many
years which will be on view at the
D. & R. theater starting next We'd
nesday. This is the way Emerson
Hough describes her in his novel
from which the photodrama was
adapted by Jack Cunningham
"a lovely lass of 18 years or so,
blue of eye and Of abundant red
brown hair. Her mouth smiling to
show white, even teeth was wide
enough for comfort in kiss, and
turned up strongly at the corners,
so that her face always seemed sun
ny and carefree, were it not for the
recurrent grave, almost sombre look
of the eyes in moments of repose."
Lois Wilson, one of the most pop
ular actresses of the silent screen,
was chosen to portray this delight
full character in this epochal picture.

THEATERS
'RECOIL' AT WEIR; BETTY
BLYTHE HAS GOOD ROLE

"Recoil," a new Rex Beach picture
produced by ]. Parker Read, Jr., and
directed by T. Hayes Hunter, was
shown last night for the first time
at the Weir theater. It proved to
be quite different from other Rex
Beach pictures although it had in
common with them the vivid drama
and strongly individualized characters
which have come to be associated with
this authors writings.
The story is intriguing and thrill
ing. 1t tells the love story of Cor
don Kent, an American multi-million-
aire, and Norma Selbee, an American
girl stranded in France. They are
married upon very short acquain-
lance and develop incompatibilities
which cause Norma to seek the pro-
lection of Laurence Marchmont, in
reality a famous crook who has been
following her about. Kent hunts them
down and gives orders that they shall
be compelled to live together for the
rest of their lives. His money and

COMMON SENSE SCHEME
TO BUILD BETTER ROADS

H. L. Hoard, published of the JEFF
ferson County Union, Fort Atkin-
son, Wisconsin, has been carrying on
very active campaign in that state
for what might be called common
sense methods in highway construc-
ton. He makes the statement that
the two essential features in road
building are drainage that will allow
the water to run off the surface and
grade sufficiently easy that load
may be moved over it in satisfac-
tory manner. He points out the dan
ger and expense of digging great
bitches at the side of road, banking
the center up like a railroad grade
and then intersecting such grade at
regular intervals with narrow cul-
verts which offer dangerous obstruc-
tions to traffic.
Mr.. Hoard's theory is that wherever
possible the road grade should be
more like a street, extending where
practical from fence to fence. Gravel
ing or hard surfacing need be no
wider than at present. If an auto
mobile or team was forced off the
beaten track it would have to plunge
into ditch as is the case at present
on too many miles of highway con-
struction. Instead of building
"motes" along the sides of hundreds
of miles of well packed macadam
roads, which are on fairly good
grades, it would be much more prac-
teal to grade the road on either side
of the center and use the solid old
macadam or rock as a base for COW
ering of asphaltic concrete. This
could be done at moderate expense
to the taxpayer compared with the
too often adopted program Of tear
ing up the road in it's entirety. By
utilizing the old road base many miles
of hard surfaced practical highways
can be built at a minimum expense
for the taxpayers.

SCHOOL CHILDREN NEED
. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

SEATTLE, Aug. 28-Before
school opens, children should be ex-
amined to determine whether they
have defects which should be correct
ed, DR.. Paul A. Turner, director of
the State Department of Health,
states.
Certain infectious diseases, such as
measles, diphtheria and scarlet fever
increase as soon as school opens.
Children with mild, unrecognized
cases of contagious diseases are fire.
quently permitted to attend school
with consequent infection to other
children. To protect the school child,
thorough examinations should be
made so that any children who may
infect other youngsters may be iso-
lated until the condition is cleared
up.
To be just to ones own child and
fair to the children of other people,
children should be thoroughly exam
ined before school commences in the
autumn. Whenever a child is afflict-
ed with a rash Of any kind, a slight
temperature, faintness, unusual pal
lor, or nausea, he should be kept at
home.
To have children properly protect
ed in the schools, it is necessary for
the parents to cooperate. Physical
examinations of "well' children tend
to decrease the possibility of children
being exposed to disease in the
schools. A child who has had all de-
fects corrected is also better able to
withstand contagious diseases when
he is exposed to them.

NUMBERING TO REMAIN
NATIVE CHARACTERISTIC

An authority on the lumber indus
try says that no living man will see
the output fall below 20,000,000,000
feet annually.
He predicts that the units of lum-

of Europe is a precedent for us but
says that the total volume of produc-

number of employees will always rank
high among our industries.

POWER COMPANY INVESTS s5OO,OOO
 IN ILLUSTRATIONS
Improvements Are To Be Made At Bessemer
 And Leeds Plants

As part of the program to give the Birmingham district power service "sec- ond to none in the country" improve ments at the Bessemer and Leeds sub stations, costing over $500,00O, were announced Thursday by FLA. Yates, vice president and general manager of the Alabama Power company.
 These improvements, according to the official announcement, will consist principally of the installation of two large synchronous condensers, the func- tion of which will be to regulate the voltage on the power lines leading from the company's hydro and steam sta tions into the Birmingham district. The new condensers will have the effect of maintaining. uniform pressure, which will result in greater efficiency in light ing and in the use of all kinds of electri- cal equipment.
 The condenser to be installed at Bessemer will be of 15,00O k. V. a. ca- pacity, while the one at Leeds will be of 12,500 k. V. a. New buildings are being erected to- house them, and pro- vision. is being made in the building at Bessemer. for a second condenser to be installed at some later time.
 In addition, ten new oil switches of the latest and most improved design, will be installed at Bessemer, taking the place of. existing equipment; a half mile of spur track to connect tke sta ton with a branch of the, Louisville and Nashville railroad,A and extention made to the water system, which keeps the huge transformers cool. The switching yards at Leeds is also being extended to care for four additional circuits.

COPELAND LEADS
 BY FOUR VOTES IN RECHECKING
Race Zig Tags Between Contestants Complete
 Count Tuesday

With 57 precinct boxes yet to be opened, w. B. Copeland held scant four-vote lead over W. J. Waldrop in the race for fifth place on the county board of revenue when Dr. R. F. Love- lady and the recount committee recessed Thursday night at 6 o'clock.
 Dr. Lovelady, who, as chairman of the Jefferson county democratic com mittee is in charge of the count, said that the final tabtlation of the votes would be completed by Tuesday morn ing, at the latest.
 Waldrop started Thursday morning in fifth place by two votes, and by noon, after losing and regaining the lead several times was back in the same posi- tion. During the afternoon the lead zig-zagged back and forth, each con- testant climbing to leats of seven votes at times. Neither candidate was able. however, to maintain a comfortable margin over the other. The race is attracting q large gather ing to witness the election managers at work on the first floor of the court house. It is believed that neither Cope land nor Waldrop will be sure of win ming until the ballots in the last box are counted. =

M'LENDON BUSY ON AUDIT MOVE
 ---- Admits Opposition To Nc Call Naming
 Auditor

Returning to, his office late Thurs day after two-day absence, Commis- sion President D. sE. McLendon gave assurance he would confer with his colleagues Friday and try to unravel the muddle that has grown out of the move for a third audit of the public improvement fund books in fhe comp troller's office, where William Leh- mans shortage was recently uncovered.
 During McLendon's absence, it de- veloped. that instead of asking Judge c. E. Mccall, of the state board of examiners, to name" an auditor, as asked by the Harrison Echols resolu- tion, he had asked that an auditor be furnished" ~
 Commissioner Harrison, after a long distance phone talk with Mccall, an- nounced2 that the latter would be glad to name an auditor. Harrison said he would insist that this course be fol- lowed. He charged that McLendon had "misled' Mccall.
 "That error on my part was unin- tentional," McLendon said. However, l am frank to say that am opposed to the naming of an, auditor by Judge Me Call. He is not a certified accountant, but is a member of political machine. l want the next audit removed from politics. am willing for committee of local bankers to select an auditor, or for the matter to be handled by the Alabama association of certified public accountants. But, before another audit is made, I feel that the grand jury should be allowed to study the last one. Then, if another is felt necessary, let's have it's
 Commissioner Harrison will move at next Tuesdays commission session that Mccall be allowed to proceed to name an auditor. Meanwhile, a commission conference on the subject may be held.

Too Much Rain Reported In Lowndes
 County

FORT DEPOSIT, Ala, June 1s.- Especial. blowing to the extreme wet weather the farmers in this immedi. ate vicinity are badly behind with all crops. The cotton, whic h is about three weeks behind the average this year, in many places is grassy and in need of cultivation. The weed is small and just beginning to form young squares, which are readily destroyed by the boil weevil, which are found in countless numbers. It is predicted by conservative farmers, that unless fa- vorable weather prevails during the next thirty days, very small cotton crop will be harvested this fall.
