ivOLLER CHAMPION BOOTH ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION All the exl^bits In the Manufacturers Kxhibit hall, where Mrs. Betty Lyles Wilson is giving her cooking demonstra tions are beautiful in their dee<gation but the one receiving special attention from the many hundreds of ladies who tome there is that of Holler Champion flour. One attraction is the booth itself, which carries out the tutor scheme of red and white, with lovely palms on each side of the sacks of flour piled in a pyramid In the center. The principal reason why people stop to look at Roller Champion flour is because they know it to be of such superior quality. It is also appre ciated because of its familiarity to most of the women of Birmingham and cer tainly all of the good cooks recognize it as the flour used in their kitchen. Roller Champion flour is one of Mrs. ^ iison's hobbies. She never ,uses any other, and always recommends it as the l . ‘ I ■ * ■ ' < < ■ - ■ . l « . < < < ■ l ! - I ■ • : ! . ' . ' ' .

Mstta .Imlirinl Circuit To Have Only One Judge | mler !S>n Law—City I'iniiM to Celebrate Centennial In 1W10 Tuscaloosa, October 19.—(Special.)—Lo cal attorneys who have received copies of the recent acts of the legislature are surprised to learn that the Sixth .Judi cial circuit, which is /omposed of the counties of Tuscaloosa, Fayette. Lamar, Pickens, Sumter and Greene, will have only one judge under the new law, in stead of two, as it has been generally understood heretofore. A prominent member of the local bar has palled at tention to the first seot!on of house bill No. 712, which reads: ‘‘At the general election held in November. 1918. there shall be elected 10 judges for the circuit court of the Tenth judicial circuit; three judges for the circuit court of the Thir teenth circuit; two judges for the circuit court of the Fourteenth circuit; two judges for the circuit court of the Fif teenth circuit; two judges for the circuit court of the Sixteenth circuit, and one Judge for every other circuit in the state, all of whom shull hold office for the term of six years.” It is interesting to note that the Sixth Judicial circuit, with a population of ap-i proximately 158,000, according to the lust census, will have only one judge, where as, the Tenth circuit, which is cbmposcd of Jefferson county, and which had, ac cording to the last census, a population of approximately 227,000, will have IQ judges. Local members of the bar are of the opinion that one judge will be unable to handle the work of the Sixth circuit and %hat the chief justice of the supreme court will have to exercise the right he has under the new law and semi other judges here to assist in the dispatch of the business. It is generally thought that Judge Henry B. Foster, the present judge of the Tuscaloosa county court, which has been abolished, will be a candidate for circuit judge. Judge Foster has made a splendid record as a judicial officer and is considered one of the foremost judges In the state. Tentative plans for the celebration of Tuscaloosa’s centennial/ in 1918 have aroused great interest here. The spe cial subcommittee of the Board of Trade has reported favorably upon .a pageant showing the history of Tuscaloosa; a general home-coming for all former resi dents; a centennial ball; a home-coming banquet, and various public attractions.
