Increased Cost of Living

Nearly all commodities are rising in value and Bradstreet's is looking for a new record in that direction. The price of living goes up with every ad- vance in, commodity prices, and wage earners are becoming alarmed.
 The rise in meats is the sensation of the day. Steers sold last week at Kansas City at 101z cents pound Ion the hoof,' and hogs were sold at nearly g cents. All parts of an animal are turned to account, but after all only about ono-half of steer is available for meat. Strangely enough, the

he Selma Journal.

From the Selma Journal.
 Birmingham has always been great, today a Greater Birmingham than 1t has ever been, but in the days to come 1t will continue to grow larger and better. Bir- mingham Is the pride Of Alabama, it is the seat of industry and activity. Every citizen of the great city ought to be proud of his citizenship. We extend good wishes and congratulations to the second city of the south, hoping that ere long this wonderful city will outstrip herself and proceed to the very top of the ladder in industrial achievement and development.

prices of cattle and hogs are going up in year that brought us an enormous corn crop. The truth seems to be, there are not enough steers and hogs in existence. Our farmers are not keeping up with consumption, and the mass will have to accept a simpler diet. The market basket grows lighter each year without reducing the cost of its contents.
 The cost of living is becoming very acute in thousands of households. Not even the panic of October, 1897, changed in a material way the course of commodity prices. It checked the rate of advance, that was all. And HOW prices are rising faster than ever before. Tt is not unlikely" says the New York Globe, that the increases in the cost of living that are made from year to year fall more heavily on the articles consumed by those in mod crate circumstances than on those in poor circumstances. Give us facts to prove or disprove this and we shall be aele to forecast with far more accu- racy the probable nature and character of the coming campaign against the cost of living. Give us such facts and it may readily appear that recruits will be gained from those of moderate means as rapidly as from any rank"

 Conditions throughout the country have been fast improving. and here in Birming- ham everybody faces the new year in buoyant spirits believe that 1910 will be the best year in Birmingham's his- tory.

wYNkEN, HLYNkEN, AND NOD.

\1ooV-1oSoJs Wynken, Bynken and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe Sailed on a river of crystal light, Into a sea of dew. Where are you going. and what do you wish?" The old moon asked the three. '@We have come to fish for the herring fish That live in this beautiful sea; Nets of silver and gold have we!'
 Said Wynken.
 Blynken.
 And Nod. The old moon laughed and sang song, As they rocked in the wooden shoe, And the wind that sped them all night long, Ruffled the waves of dew. The little stars were the herring fish That lived in that beautiful sea 'sNow cast your nets wherever you wish Never afeard are we;" So cried the stars to the fisherman three:
 Wynken,
 Blynken.
 And Nod. All night long their nets they threw To the stars in the twinlxling foam Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe, Bringing the fishermen home; Twas all so pretty a sail 1t seemed As if 1t could not be- And some folks thought twas a dream they'd dreamed Of sailing that beautiful sea- But shall name you the fishermen three:
 Wynken,
 Blynken,
 And Nod. Wynken and Blynden are two little eyes And Nod is little head, And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies Is a wee one's trundle-bed. So shut your eyes while mother sings Of wonderful sights that be, And you shall sec the beautiful things As you rock in the misty sea, Where the old shoe rocked the fshefmsz three:
 Wynken.
 Blynken,
 And Nod.

Mr. sexisr. Promotion.

q was glad to read in The Age-Herald that MT. l.. sevier, traffic manager of the Alabama Great Southern, was soon to become general agent of the execu- tive departments of the Southern rail- way and the Alabama Great Southern, with headquarters in Birmingham, said a prominent shipper.
 MT. sevier is known as railroad of- ficial of exceptional capacity. He is not only an expert in the freight business but he Is a man of affairs and b always alert. Few business men have sounder judgment and as he is to be invested with a good deal of authority as the rep- resentative of Mr. Finley, president of

THE CRIMINAL WITH TALENT.

From the New York World.
 The sentence of Capt Thomas Franklin to two and one-half years imprisonment for embedding army funds is in accord ance with the evidence and in keeping with army discipline. Yet that the use- fulness of a good soldier who was one of the best business men in the service should be suddenly brought to an end will excite regret.
 Captain Franklin had won his way up from the ranks. He achieved an excel lent military record in China and the Philippines, and as treasurer Of the Milf tary academy he systematized commits sary methods and instituted reforms which made the West Point mess a mod ell. That after accounting correctlyf for $2.oooooo which passed through his hands he should lapse from honesty and commit petty peculations is one of the unsolv- able mysteries of human action.
 Regret for F'ranklin's downfall is not likely to provoke a sympathetic demon stration such as recently secured the ac- ouittal of the self-confessed counterfeiter Hosek in Vienna When 1t developed that Hosek had made important meteorological discoveries while handicapped by poverty and the neglect of the scientific world, and had committed his forgeries to en- able him to pursue his investigations, the jury was moved to leniency, and a revul- sion of feeling occurred in the prisoner s favor.
 Conformation of crime even in the public interest is not to be indorsed. Yet where there is such loss to society through the Imprisonment of a man who has made himself useful, regret is inevitable that effective means were not at hand to pre- vent crime instead of inviting it by leav- ing opportunity open. The honor of the service would not be affronted by such precaustions again dishonesty as pri- yate business employs

both of the roads named, every large interest here having shipping relations with those lines will be greatly accom- modated. Birmingham is the biggest traffic producing center in the south and this joint office of general agent was doubtless created for MT. sevier in rec ognition of the citys growing import ance"

hare burnt with bears grease and

same object could be accomplished by
mingling the eggs of the lizard with
