GREAT MARKET FOR
 HORSES AND MULES
OVER 200 ANIMALS CHANGED HANDS AT SALE YESTERDAY. EUGENE FEES DISCUSSES MULE MARKET.

Birmingham, it appears. has become the big horse and mule market of Alabama. One firm has done much to make Bir- mingham the leading market. The big auction sales held by Fies & Sons two or three times each month attract horse men from all over the state and POO horses and mules were knocked down to the highest bidder at the big sale yesterday. Eugene Fies had this to say of the sale last night:
 we sold 200 of them today. Some of the horses were of the very best class as fine as I've ever seen in Birming ham and a number were good all around animals selling at a good price-business horses, drivers and saddlers. The de- mand is brisk for animals of this class. We sold lot of mules too.
 Mules are bringing a good round sum this spring and the mule market is pretty strong. We supply hundreds of mules and horses every month to farmers all over the state and to lumbermen. and to the various big corporations around Birmingham that are constantly needing good work teams Birmingham is com ing right along as the big horse and mule market and think the auctions we are holding have a lot to do with it. We sell all animals under an absolute guarantee. open and above board and to the highest bidder. In every sale we have number of high-class fancy horses consigned by private parties. Today the prettiest 2-year-old I've seen in many a day. a blue ribbon taker, sold dirt cheap"

This club was organized about two

a great deal in a political way, how

interest in politics turned to
things more worth while. 1t was the
activity Of his club which FASTENED
the Santa Fe railroad in its building Of
the new station. The club has had its
effect in stirring up civic pride and it
now proposes to turn itself into a per-
manent, effective development organi-
cation. Three or four years ago such
a club would have had little chance
for existence in Santa Fe. Now it has
very cordial support.
These. briefly are the surface indi-
cations showing the change in the
spirit of Santa Fe. 1t is no longer
looking into the past. Politics is no
longer the chief ource OF interest and
life. There is n healthy new spirit,
backed by strong men, a spirit that
means progress Of a substantial char

pride in its history and historic as
