David Croeland, county tax aeaeseor
r completed the work on the assessment
hooka Thuraday. Prior to the recent
election, Mr. Croeland had completed
thi* work on the. theory that tho
i three mill tax election would carry,
and he left provision for quick revis
ion to Insert this assessment against
each property holder or other tax
Payer. All that remained necessary for
Mr. Crosland and his clerical force
to do after the election officially car
ried was to go through the books and
Insert the proper amount after each
name. The ease with which this last
work, completed Thursday, was done
was due entirely to Mr. Crosland’s
preparedness plan when originally
bringing his books up to date for
the tax collector.
The tax rate for Montgomery coun

ducts by Government *
(■HHil to The AinrtlMr,)
BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Aug. I*.—
Richard M. Hobble of Montfom^ry,
food commissioner for Alabama, woo
tna principal speaker at the conven
tlon of merchants of the Stat# hare

Frye urged the Importance of grow
ing and properly marketlng-the enor
mously Increased food crops of Ala
bama at the same time appreciating
the value of cotton to the South and
its proper leadership among the as
sets of this part of the country.
Regulation Explained.
Regulation and production and con
servation of food products, the work
of the food administration, were ex
plained by Mr. Hobble, who begged
the merchants to help In every pos
sible way toward realising the alms
of Mr. Hoover. He asked that they
market their products properly and
ship In the most economic manner. lie
called their attention to the difficulties
of the railroads In handling the freight
of the country, and asked that corn
be shelled and packed In bags dt the
producing places to facilitate shipping;
that potato store houses be construct
ed to eonserve the community crops,
and that the corn be marketed slow
ly instead of dumped on the merchants
within a month or two.
O. L. Bunn, secretary manager of
the Birmingham Traffic Bureau, spoke
to the merchants of the difficulties of
transportation and the necessity for
cooperatlor. After explaining the de
mands that would be made on the
railroads, Mr. Bunn asked that the
shippers do their part In filling the
cars and In carrying their goods to
capacity, loading and unloading them
promptly and rapidly. He explained
that this would be absolutely neces
sary If America was to do what the
allies expected and continue to feed
75 per cent of the world and furnish
herself and her allies with 50 par
cent of their ammunition.
Before the addrees of Mr. Hobble

GAINED TWICE JIS
MUCH AS HE LOS]
“I Feel Twenty Yean
Younger Than I Did
When I Took My Firsl
Dose of Tanlac,” Says A
L. Hockholzer
'Tv. not only gained back th. at
t.en pounds I had lost, but am fif
teen .-pounds heavier than I was be
fore I started to lose weight and fee]
all of twenty years younger than when
I took my first dose Of Tanlac" said
A- L. Hockholzer (pronounoed Ho
holser) an expert machinist of Co
lumbus Miss., some time ago.
"I had stomach troubles and rheu
matism, for a mighty long time, and
my troubles pulled me down until 1
would have to lay off from my work
for a week or two at a time. Ev
ery time I went badk to work it was
the same way, I would have to quit
again. I got so weak I couldn't lift
ten pounds and fell off fifteen pounds
In weight. Nothing 1 ate agreed with
me and I was eo nervous and restless
that I couldn't sleep at night. Noth
ing I took did me any good.
“Unless a person suffers like.I did,
they can’t realize how glad I am to
have my health back again! 1 start
ed taking Tanlac and' begun to pick
up right away. It seemed like my
food tasted different, and everything
I ate built me up until I gained back
all I lost and fifteen pounds more.
My strength has come back to me, un
til I can lift 260 pounde without a
bit of trouble. Of course, I recom
mend Tanlac because It sure helped
me."
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Mont
gomery by E. G. Fowler.
Other Cities Have Been
Quick to Realize Bene
fits of Camp
“The citizens ft Montgomery are to
be asked to subscribe {57,000 for camp
activities and the expenses Incidental
there", said J. B. Hebbard, war sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce,
"and perhaps that seems a large sum
but ether cities have raised far more
than that and Montgomery will have
as rauoh to do in entertaining the
soldiers that are cbming here as any
other city.
"Let us see what some other cities
have already done. Take the little
town of Ayer, Mass., for instance.
Seven churches have united to build a
religious and social centre near Camp
Devens at Ayer and to construct a
building costing {25,000, which will be
open seven, days a week. The building
is to contain writing rooms, reading
rooms, rest rooms and shower baths.
"At Clinton, Mass., not far from
Ayer, the Massachusetts Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has pur
chased a large country place and will
remodel It for the pleasure af the
soldiers at the Ayer camp.
A Good Scheme
“The Rotary club at Indlanpolls has
taken a lease on three floors of a bus
iness building and will furnish them
for use of enlisted men. The club has
hit on a good scheme for fumlahlng
the rooms, each member contributing
something from the business in which
he is engaged. The furniture men con
tribute some kind of furniture, car
pet n en carpets, and so on. It is said
that no member of the club will find
It necessary to contribute any cash
a tall.
"The Merchants Association In San
Diego has rented a large club room
and furnished It at a cost of {700. In
Portsmouth, Va., five hundred men
were entertained by one citizen, Wm.
Sloan, at one time. The soldiers are
given several dances every week in
that town. The Ladies*Auxiliary of the
Navy also gives dances frequently at
the T. M. C. A. hall and also at the
Country Club. The Bible Class of
Berkley entertains a class of five hun
dred men.
“In Dee Moines there are dances glv
en every Saturday night and a pavil
;lion has been erected at the cam]
where dances may also be given.
Syracuse Dees Much
“Five churches in Syracuse, Nev
York, have combined to furnish clul
rooms for the soldiers. The Solva;
company is building a clubhouse fo
the soldiers to cost {7,800. Thi
churches entertain hundreds ot mei
every week. There is a community
chorus In which five or six thousani
soldiers sing. Hundreds of soldiers ar.
taken into the homes of the citizen
every week for dinner. The Jewlsl
Commission entertains a great many
The Americanization Society of tlv
Chamber of Commerce has classes o
men for Instruction, and at Fort Snell
Ing, Minn., more than a thousand r.tei
are being taught English and French
We must have such classes at Cami
Sheridan.
“So, you see. it takes money to d
these things and as Montgomery mus
do them the money must be raised
tVe must entertain the soldiers to kee
them out of trouble. <In one Englls
camp there are four thousand men suf
ferlng with venereal disease. That 1
only ore camp. Let us keep <he sold

SOLDIER’S WEDDING
IN JAIL POSSESSES
UNUSUAL FEATURES
A soldier and his sweetheart were
married in the Montgomery county Jail
Thursday morning, not because they
chose the jail as an Ideal place for
a wedding but because the groom
couldn’t get out of the bastlle to
marry anywhere else and the bride
was determined to marry despite locks
and tars.
Lawrence Cooley of Talladega, a
member of Company M, First Alabama
Cavairy, was the groom and ' Miss
Louise Walker of Anniston was the
bride. The former is twenty-three year
old and the latter twenty-one.
Cooley has been confined In the
police station several days charged
with desertion but was taken to the
county Jail yesterday morning by or
der of the military authorities, pend
ing orders from the Southeastern De
partment at Charleston as to the final
disposition of his case.
Faces Uncertain Future.
Notwithstanding the future that
faced Cooley and the possibility of
being for years "a wife in name
»nly," Miss Walker not onty consent
ed to marry Cooley In the Jail but
obtained and paid for the marriage
license herself and arranged all the
details of the ceremony.
W. C. Fuller, a*notary public of No.
!7 Washington street married the
touple and deputy sheriff Vaughn was
best man. The ceremony was per
formed in a corridor on the third
floor of the jail and the couple stood
In front of the cell to which Cooley
has been consigned.
»» „ . , ‘
1 . 'Jc. 1: ‘
An elaborate dinner brought la
from a Dexter avenue restaurant was
served the wedding party soon after
the ceremony and there was much
merriment at the nuptial feast.
The bride remained In the city last
night and will bid her husband a
possibly long farewell this morning,
returning to her home In Anniston.

ed with the murder of Mrs. Allan In
