MOSES IS FIRST
 TO GET NEW STAMP
xUurN DATnIES ARE UP TO CER- TAIN STANDARD BIRMINGHAM MILK COMMISSION GIVES ITS OF FICIAL STAMP OF APPROVAL

The first official award by the Birrning- ham milk commission to dairy to sell certified milk" was yesterday when F. l.. Moses drew the coveted prize after standing an examination, and his oalry showing the highest score ever recorded in Birmingham.
 Several months ago the country board of health decided to follow the example of other cities, and offer the reward or city health department certified stamp of purity to go on all milk of those dairy men who could come up to the regulations prescribed. A commission was formed consisting of the five members or the board of health, City Health Officer Hardness. the bacterioiogist, and the city veterinarian.
 Among the rules which were formulated were that the milk should not contain more than 16o0 bacteria to the cubic cen timetre: all the cows must stand the tuberculin test, and everyone connected with the dairy must stand perfect health examination. The cows must be kept perfectly clean, the mixers wear white suits, and prepare their hands as a surgeon prepares his hands for an op- eration. The barn must provide 5Oo cubic feet for each COW and four square feet of window space, with concrete or cement floors; the dairy must be equipped with steam sterilizers for all utensils. The milk must be cooled to 45 degrees, and when delivered to the customer must not exceed 50 degrees or be over "A hours old.
 MT. Moses place was scored by City Bacteriologist Duncan, and drew a mark of 9eh out of possible 100 points, while the average dairy in Birmingham scores around 60.
 Special vigilance is kept on the certified dairy, it being visited at close intervals by doctors, bacteriologtsts, inspectors, and 1t is seen that every rule is maintained in every particular. Under these conditions, MT. Moses has the right to use the sticker. Certified by the Board of Health," which, according to Dr. Hardness, will always mean ab- solute purity"
 Several other dairymen are preparing their dairies to stand the examination for permission to use the certified stamp.

 TO MAKE TALK TO FARMERS

"The one prospers by the other, and when you have good farmers and good roads both the conditions are ideal hope to tell the farmers thing or two about good roads and their proper main tenance. I have no set address, but will just simply talk along general lines"
 In speaking of the political outlook for the democratic ticket this fall, Senator Bankhead said that Joseph o. Thompson was not seriously offering for governor
 "He has no more chance to be elected than if he were not running" said the senator He Is simply trying to secure more attention for himself and keep the republican votes in some sort of line Alabama. will never have any republican governor and those who may be opposed to some democratic nominees will sacrifice their personal feelings for the good of democracy.

Survey Has Already Been Mnde From Reform and Cochran Believes Money Is in Sight for
 Extension

J. T. Cochran, who promoted success fully two railroads in Alabama, arrived in Birmingham yesterday with several financial men and he is planning to con- meet Birmingham with Mobile The visit tors have been over the proposed lines between Birmingham and Mobile, of which only about 100 miles remain to | be constructed.
 The Tombigbee Valley railroad, which is owned by MT. Cochran, operates from Mobile on the south to Silas, Choctaw county on the north. The line ends at that point A gap was left in the sur veyed right-of-way, but the line started

again near Ivey, Sumter county, and was completed to Reform, Pickens coun- ty, where connections are made with the Mobile and Ohio trains for Tuscaloosa.
 The line ending at Reform will be sur veyed into Birmingham, or sufficiently near to barter for track leases and an entrance thus be gained to this city.
 The information was made known by MT. Cochran that he intends to announce the work of construction very soon, which will have as its northern terminus this city. He has proved very successful in the management of the two railroads he now owns and operates and the greatest interest has been attached to his an- nouncement-
 By constructing about s3 miles the line would be able to run into Birmingham. The survey has been made direct to this city without touching Tuscaloosa.
 ''We will have fine new railroad into Birmingham connecting the Steel City and the seaport of the state and that soon," said Mr. Cochran. "We have practically completed the details for raising the money and have only to close up the proposition. We have already over two thirds of the railroad surveyed and have only small amount to build compared to the past work. The cost will be very heavy, but have eastern men here to- day who are interested in the plans and I expect to receive great financial back ing.
 This line, when constructed to Birming- ham, will open up a brand new country to this city. The country through which we now operate has never been touched before, and we are meeting with great success. I thing the future results will be like the past''
 The visitors were very much pleased with Birmingham. They were shown Ems ley Wylam, Corey and the beauties of Highland avenue yesterday by John c. Lusk Everyone expressed the greatest interest in the vast industrial develop ment of this city.
 The party included: J. T. Cochran of Mobile, E. Rosenbaum, New York; H. l.. Crane, New York; J. F. Lowden, New York A. c. Pierce, Philadelphia; A. s. Wipper, Boston; w. R. Britton, New York; J.

 Barnes Morgan voted against the reso- lution, and declared that if the Birming- ham Railway. Light and Power company thought the plant was worth that much it is worth that much to the people of Bir- mingham. He suggested that the fran chise alone would be worth that much. and that Birmingham could easily use the plant to supply current for its arc lights. Aldermen Williams, Mcdowell and Starbuck thought it no harm to allow the people a voice in the matter"

A LARGE ACREAGE
 OF CANTALOUPES

Benton dispatches state that there are about 700 acres planted in canta- loupes in Benton county this season. This is an immense increase over the acreage of any former year. In fact cantaloupes have never been shipped from this county before in carload lots. About 450 acres of the present crop is being grown near Gravette, in this county. The shipments will be handled through the Farmers Un- ion.
 The crop is growing nicely and pro- mises big yield. Shipments in car load lots will begin about the first of next month. Early peaches and ap- pies are moving freely from this coun- ty. There will be a fair Elberta peach crop. B. N. Plank of Decatur, this county, estimates that he will ship about 35 cars. Garfield, small sta tion 12 miles north of Rogers, will ship as many as 75 cars. The grow ing corn crop is large and promising, and the oats and wheat crops, which have been harvested, are the best ev- CT known in Benton county.

The big steel door to the concrete vault of the Citizens Bank arrived Tuesday and workmen are putting it in place. 1t is said that this door weighs about 27,0O0 pounds and is the second largest in the state Not withstanding it's immense weight, when hung it will swing as, easily as any ordinary safe door It will be fitted with the latest improved time locks and will be absolutely burglar-proof The bank officials hope to be in the new building within the next thirty days. The bank will occupy the low CT or ground floor, but it will be some time before the upper stories will be ready for occupancy.
 This building, when completed, will be the finest in the state, and it's pat rons can rest assured that no bur- glar, however, shrewd, will ever be able to enter it's vaults by the aid of tools or explosives.

A Hurt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors.
 It is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes a specialist with the hammer. So when you hear fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step ped on his toes.
 You will find this the case with professional men-Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex |ception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Con- pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell. At first they began to whine, now you can hear them yelping, on every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE FIDOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have new company in the field. Well you have had them tefore. have never heard you in sa!aa pain and agony as this.
 Yes. E&t-Well hold on, don't they pay the.r claims? Yes, that Is the trouble ard they, are offering $1O0 reward Tor proof of any unpaid just claim.
 We'll why don't you get that $100 and quit knocking. cant find an unpaid claim. Are they prompt in the settlement of claims. Yes, all the policyholder has to do is to have his physician fill claim blank and go to their office and receive drafts in full.
 We'll, if this is the case. see no reason of so much unwarranted knocking. We'll on the 0. T. I am going to confess to you their policies are so liberal, and they give their policyholders such square deal. they are putting us out of business and we have to do this to hold some of our business.
