ILLITERACY FIGHT
; FOR THIS SUMMER
The campaign for & literate State
being conducted by the State department
of education and the illiteracy
commission will be continued
with increased vigor during the
summer. The two outstanding feature
of the work will be the organization
of "Write-Your-Name
Classes' and of "Lay-by" schools;
the first, for the purpose of teaching
every voter to sign his name to
the Democratic club rolls and the
second, for the purpose of teaching
at least 10,000 men and women to
read and write.
The "Lay-by" schools in which
over 5,000 adults were enrolled last
year will be reorganized in August,
which has been selected as the time
best suited for the adults because
then many of the best teachers in
the state can be secured for one
month's teaching and because that
is the vacation month for the majority
of the people..

FOR VERDUN MONUMENT

stone was laid today for the monument

:he soldiers who fell in the victorious
.battle for the defense of Verdun.
The ceremony occurred in the
presence of detachments bearing
th6 colors of all" the French army
corps.
The date selected for the event
was the fourth anniversary of the
farthest advance into the Verdun
region made by the Germans?the
day that marked the turning point
in the great struggle, for possession
of this notable strategic point in the
battle line.
BEATING THE BOLL WEEVIL
\
One stick of candy is paying for
one boll weevil in Russell couty, according
to reports which have
reached Montgomery, Ala. Farmers
have found that negro boys like
candy and prefer it to money there- j
fore they are buying stick candy by
the barrel and every time a person
brings in a boll weevil he is given
one stick. This method . is cheaper
than paying a penny apiece for
weevils, which is being done in some
states.
