ton fields there are today blooms, and il some of them squares and even bolls are in evidence.
 To sum up then, we have a right today to expect a bumper wheat crop, an average corn crop. and cotton crop rather above the average of the last five years. None of the great crops a.e below aormal. None are failures. The great export crops promise to fur nish ample surpluses that can be sold abroad, and this is all that is needed in order to maintain the prosperity of ,ne country, and the activity of bus mess.

ON A SUMMER MORNING.

By Keats. I stood tiptoe upon a little hill The air was cooling, and so very still That the sweet buds which with a modest
 pride Pull droopingly, in slanting curve aside, Their scanty leaved and finely tapering
 stems, Had not yet lost those starry diadems Caught from the early sobbing of the
 morn, The clouds were pure and white as fiocl<s
 new shorn, And fresh from the clear brook sweetly
 they slept On the blue fields of heaven, and there
 crept A little noiseless noise among the leaves, Born of the very sigh that silence heaves; For not the faintest motion could be seen Of all the shades that slanted OCT the
 green.

Increase in Population.

Jefferson county has grown rapidly since the government census was taken in 1900. and the population Is easily l75OOO now as against 14o,0oo three years ago." said man who watches the progress of the county closely. "of this county popu- lation all but twenty-five or thirty thou- sand is a part of Greater Birmingham because it is reached by the trolley cars. I think twenty-five would cover the rural population.
 "The bill for extending Birmlngham's corporate limits will include only Avon dale. woodlawn, East Lake, Elyton, Smithheld and West End, and perhaps one or two other close-in' towns, adding Q total of about so,0OO souls to Birming- hams population. This will give Birming- ham q population of about sO,000, which, by 1910, when the next census Is taken, will reach fully 100000. In 1910 the county's population will be something like 225o0o, which will make the real Greater Birm- ingham close on to 100000"

The Commercial Club.

''The Commercial Club has a member ship of about 800 and 1t will probably reach 400 by the 1st of next year. but the club should have 300 members" said a prominent citizen. "rhe club is a center of influence and does much for the nat ional interests of the Birmingham district. This being so. every business man and every professional man in the district should be enrolled in the club. The dues are only $1 a month and if a member does no more than pays dues be Is helping to some extent. But a membership of 800 with large percentage of the members taking an active part in the work of the club would make powerful organizatin, indeed"

NO COD LIVER OIL CORNER.
But Price Has Jumped From s25 To 81 30
Barrel because Fish Are Poor

New York City.--T he rrmor that ap-
peared in some Of the papers that an
operator had cornered the visible sup
ply Of cod liver oil was declared 10 be
without foundation by one OF the larg
est importers of cod liver oil In this
country.
The price Of oil 10y the barrel has
gone up. however. 10 n surprising fig.
ure. Oh which last year was selling
at an average price OF so barrel Is
bringing this year as hl2h as S13O.
This jump IN price is said 20 be due
entirely TO the poor condition Of the
cod caught. Last year. at IofodeD,
In Norway, where the great cod fisher
les are situated, the catch OF cod was
100000 fish, with production OF
$500 barrels OF oil This year the catch
has been 100000 fish with produc.
ton Of only G03 barrels OF oil.
Statistics Of the cod liver oil market
show that this poor condition Of the
fish recurs regularly every seven years.
The only explanation that can be given
is that the Goldfish. like human being,
renews It's system about once In that
period.

TO the woman Of ancient Israel not TO

maternity Is not esteemed as OF yore, the
