showing the best twenty ears Of
corn on or before November Is,

our farmers will ever prosper as
they should until they raise more
corn. nore corn means more hogs
and smaller store accounts. Millions

quently the Western farmers are

WANTS HUSBAND PARDoNep
woman Stands By Man Who Deserts
 From Army to Visit Her.

A petition is being circulated by Mrs Chester Linn requesting President Taft to pardon her husband. who is serving n. sentence for desertion The petition has already been signed by a large number or prominent people, and Mrs. Linn ia very hopeful that the President will grant the pardon.
 It will be recalled that Linn. whose home Is near Adamsville, was arrested here some time ago for deserting from the United States army. and was sent to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, and given a light sentence for desertion. Shortly after wards he took French leave again and in day or two was again captured at his home having come back to the Birming- ham district to see his sweetheart, Miss Jessie Collar of Adamsville.
 While awaiting the arrival of a federal officer the young couple decided to wed and the marriage was performed in the county jail Then midst the tears of his bride Linn was taken back to Fort OgIe- thorpe, where he must toll as a deserter until the 12th of next January.
 The petition sets forth that Linn is the only support of his wife and also states that she is in bad health.

GREAT CROWD OF
 DENTISTS COMING
PROGRAMME FOR CHAIR CLINIC GIVES IDEA OF SCOPE OF WORK TO BE DONE BY THE coNVEN- TON.

The reports from various states to the general arrangements committee for the National Dental association which meets in Birmingham March S1 indicate that more than 1000 of the leading dentists of the country will at tend. At first 1t was feared that the northern delegations would not come so far south, but the cold weather and the reputation of Birmingham for hospital ity is going to bring many of them.
 The programme for the chair clinical section, which is the most important of the convention's work, gives an idea both of the scope of the work which will be undertaken and the personnel of the visiting physicians:

WANTS GAS STOVES
 MADE IN DISTRICT
PRESIDENT FORD OFFERS TO GIVE ALL OF HIS COMPLAINTS 8usI- NESS TO LOCAL CONCERN IF STOVE IS SATISFACTORY.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company has sold and is serving at the present time 5000 gas stoves. These stoves were purchased in Detroit. Mich, and St. Louis, Mo-, and a great deal of Birmingham iron was used in thelr manufacture. Freight both ways was charged in the price we paid.
 This represents an investment of aoout $f5,OOO, which money should have stayed in Birmingham. We order about eoo stoves Fer annum. which amounts to about 5000, and the business ia growing. If some firm or individual in Birmingham will establish a plant for the manufacture of gas stoves and will produce a good article which we can recommend to our customers we will give them all our business
 We will also assist them in securing the business of every gas company do- Ing business in the south.
 This proposition will be held onen until the thing is done Yours truly.

COM MERCIAL CLUB
 THIS AFTERNOON
STEPS WILL BE TAKEN LOOKING
 TO FORMAL ORGANIZATION OF
 THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. OTHER SUBJECTS TO COME UP.

The meeting of the Commercial club to be held this afternoon will witness the first steps toward the organization of the Chamber of Commerce, the central body which will take in all the other or ganizations of the city and enable them to act unitedly on many great problems which come up from time to time, as well as occupy the same home, the most com plete in the south.
 The membership of the club is greatly interested in this proposed change, and will be present in large numbers The directors have been threshing out the details for a considerable time and will have them in shape for consideration.
 The meeting will also be unique with the introduction of the new objections to the rivers and harbors appropriations of James Bowron. The last meeting saw a spirited discussion of this matter, and 1t bids fair to become quite a live issue.
 The Chamber of Commerce building has reached seven stories in height of con crete framework and Is fast assuming it's fine proportions.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
 MEETS ON MONDAY

President Culpepper Exum has called meeting of the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit association directors for next Monday night at o'clock in the offices of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 This meeting will begin the actual prep aration for the fair next fall. Officers for the coming year will be elected, an executive committee put in charge of the work and the arrangements for fair will continue as they have heretofore.
 AS yet no inkling of the probable secre- tary of the fair has been given out. The secretary will also probably be secretary of the Business Mems league, under whose indorsement the fair will be given, although it will have no business con- neetion with the fair association.

THE ARMOURS TO
 BUILD NEW PLANT

Following close behind Swift & Co.,, the Armour Packing ompany is preparing to build a large cold storage plant in Bir- mingham Plans and specifications for the building and plant have already been gotten up and actual work will probably start within a short while.
 The plant is to be located on First ave nue near Twenty-third street, and when completed will represent a net outlay of more than $50,oo0 Its cold storage facil- ties will be sufficient to meet all re- quirements.
 The business of the different packing houses in Birmingham has increased greatly and cold storage plants of great capacity have been found to be an abso- lute necessity. Swift & Co. are just com- pleting a s60,00O plant on Morris avenue, this one being a cold storage and finish ing curing plant.

This step followed vivid recital today in the police court of the revolting details by Henry Smith. in which he charged the three other negroes with having commit ted the murder and confessed himself to having taken part in it.

testified in another place that the cost was $14.75 to s15, and I think that is about right.
 While the iron ores which go into our furnaces are undoubtedly delivered there at much less cost than the northern fur naces, we must remember that this ore is very lean-the red ore, (which is the backbone of iron making in this district) running from 32 to 3S per cent in metallic iron against their 55 to 60 and 65 per cent. which, of course. takes a great deal more coke to ton of iron. More over, owing to the partngs in most of our seams of coal in this district and the absolute necessity of washing the coal in order to eliminate the sulphur or ash before 1t Is coked (which is not done in Connellsville or West Virgina), our coke costs very much higher than the coke from most of these places.
 Any material reduction in the tariff on pig iron will affect this district more seriously than any other part of the coun- try and l can well see how the manu- lecturers of iron at Pittsburg and Chi cago might even be willing to see 1t done, because pig iron brought from abroad has got to pay the freight from the coast to these interior points, where the great markets for the pig iron and finished material are. For instance, I think the rate on pig iron from New York to Chicago Is $4.50; therefore, iron brought from England and laid down at the Atlantic cast at cost price of $13 50 would stand SIS and something at Chi cago; whereas. we having to seek mar ket in the northern states have to bear the burden of the freight rate to those points ourselves"
 About Iron Ore.
 Referring to Iron ore MT. Mcqueen had this to say:
 q don't see that reduction in the duty on ores could affect us very much; but to put coal on the free list would be disastrous to this district. West Vir-
