The headquarters of the Third Regi- ment, Alabama State Troops, at East Lake will be in direct communication with the city during the coming week, thanks to Manager Woodruff of the Birmingham Telephone exchange.

 This is but another evidence of the fact that Gen. Clark Is using his utmost endeavors to have the camp at East Lake as comfortable for the visiting soldiery as possible, and it Is safe to assert that on the day of their arrival the Third Reg iment will be as comfortably quartered as any troops in the country.

Handsome punch bowls are being

THE CYCLIS1.

Night bicycle meets are very popular
in Philadelphia, which leads the coun-
try in cycling affairs. .-...
In Pisa, Italy, two lamps are re-
Quired for every cycle, and after dark n
machine without light may not even be
walked through the town.
More than LOCO bicycles have been
stolen in Philadelphia within the past
IL months. 1t is almost impossible to
Ealll the bicycle thief. 1t is necessary
at times for the rider to leave his wheel
unguard%d, and in one second the thief
can r.ouDt It and ride away.
Chimes of bells are fad which is
being adopted by Gotham bicyclists.
A string of silvery bells is so arranged
that the motion of the front wheel
keeps them constantly a-ringing, CIV

handlebar is to be dispensed with.
The bicycle has brought new per-
sonality into view-the cycling groom
in the livery of his employer, pedaling
along in proud attendance upon some
girl or child. Sometimes he is coloreti

Elm, Acacia and Declduous
Trees Recommended.

BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 4.-The uni
versity town seems destined to have its
broad streets and drives lined with beau
tiful shade trees of various orders before
another year has passed into history. The
recently organized floral society, which is
composed of a large mum Der OF the most
prominent citizens of Berkeley, as we'll as
mem bers of the university faculty, has
taken decided steps toward Transforming
the college town practically into a park.
at the monthly meeting OF the society
which will be held tomorrow evening t
Stiles Hall, the committee which was
recently appointed by President Wilson
to consult property-owners as 10 the
planting of shade trees along the streets
will make its report.
The committee consists of Colonel
Charles r. Greenleaf. Principal Warning
Wilkinson. John Hinkle. Professor VII
liam Carey Jones, J. B. Hume, w. T. Bar
rett and Arson S. Blake. In their re port
they will suggest that the local property
owners be solicited at once 10 set out trees
while the season is ripe. and not wait until
spring for the passage of law which will
compel them to do SC. for by putting the
matter off until later a whole year s
growth will be lost to the trees.
The com mittee. after having considered
the climate, the characteristics OF the
various trees and their shade-giving quail
ties, has decided to recommend the plant

ticular locations on this coast. On the
first day E. S. Adams will open the insti-
tute with paper on the relation of the
university to the farmers. Mr.. Adams
has long been a student of experimental
agriculture, and believes that the univer-
sity should prove of far greater benefit to
the farmers than it does at present.
J. NJ. Doty will treat of olive culture in
all its branches, from practical point of
view, and Professor n. E. Jaffa will
andle The matter of cattle-feeding. A. P.

ern portion of the county, the Hon. Val
entine Aiviso. Professor ]. w. Connell OF
the Livermore High School is preparing a
paper entitled Agriculture in the High
Schools" 1t is his purpose to show that

to lead an agricultural life should lay the
foundation of an education needed on the
farm.
On the second day E. c. Hahn. who has
made several years study of tobacco cul-
ture in Alameda County, will speak of the
result of his work. Within the past SIX
months there have been many expert
ments made with tobacco seed in this part
of the State, and the growing interest in
them is shown by the large number OF let
ters that have been received by the bod
les making the experiments from land
owners anxious to follow the example. II.

horseman, will attend TO the subject of
horse breeding and ]. a. FIlcher, secretary

A discussion will follow each address,
and general question box will be held at

the most interesting exhibits will be that
