Southern Headquarters

c. P. Walker, the American Radiator company's travelling representative in Alabama, states that the southern branch office and show room in At lanta will be closed and that the com pany will open branch in Birming ham, where it's southern plant is To- cated. From this point the New Or leans Mississippi field can be better looked after.
 The radiator company began opera tions here about a year ago as an ex- pertinent, but the experimental stage Is passed. It is said that results have been highly satisfactory. The com pany is now turning out radiators in leased property in Birmin gh am. but 1t is understood that 1t will not be long before it builds 8 large plant of Its own. Its southern trade is growing steadily and with it's growth it's pro- ductive capacity here must of neces. sity be increased.
 Referring to the American Radiator company's purpose to remove it's south ern sales department from Atlanta to Birmingham prominent member of the Chamber of Commerce said "Bir- mingham is the geographical center of the south and 1t is only a question of a short time when every large manufac- turing concern and every large finan- cial institution lending money in the south will have southern headquarters here. Atlanta has been the great dis tributing point for the south. The big general offices have helped to make Atlanta. But it is only recently that Birmingham has had adequate office quarters for general agencies. Several large northern companies would have made Birmingham their southern head quarters four or five years ago if we had had the same office building fa- cilities that Atlanta had. We are well off in skyscrapers now and within the past 12 months dozen or more north | ern concerns have established general southern sales agencies here. This new feature of Birmingham's business life will soon begin to make an important
 showing."

HospitaI Petition Presented.

At the meeting of the Board of
Supervisors on Monday the petition
which has been circulated through
out the county for the purpose of
having the proposition to erect a
county hospital voted upon at the
election next fall, was presented to
the board, and they will doubtless
authorize the proposition to be sub
mitted to the voters next fall. We
are heartily in favor of a hospital
in this county. There is no doubt
of the urgent need of it, sick peo-
pie are sent out of this county near
ly every day because of lack of
hospital facilities here, and there is
no telling how many lives are paid
as toll for this neglect. We need
a hospital, need it badly, it will not
cost any voter enough to notice,
and we believe that it ought to be
built. Let's all boost for a hos
pital.

Taft Wins Rate Eight.

President Taft has won his fight
against the commodity rate in
creases made by the western trunk
line railroads. The railroads will
withdraw the tariffs already en-
Joined and other tariffs effective
after June 1st and no further in
creases will be filed until the pend
ing railroad bill becomes a law
With this understanding the gov
eminent will withdraw the suit be-
fore the federal circuit court in
Missouri, after the pending railroad
bill in congress becomes a law. This
was the result of three hours
conference at the White House
Monday, when Taft stated that the
purpose of this suit was to prevent
the proposed rate increases, and h"
finally prevailed upon the railroads
to withdraw the increased tariffs.
after a heated conference in which
it is believed he dealt with a severe
hand with the railroads.

Debt-Beware of 1t.

Young man, you who are about
count, as you value your hopes of
success, let not the burden of debt
rest on you with its blighting curse.
Resolve that though you possess
but little it shall be your own, in
truth and in deed.
Resolve that whatever you own
shall be yours, untrammeled and
free. That no man shall hold a
mortgage over your title, and that
no scheming money lender shall
have the chance to step in and take
advantage of your hard earnings.
If you can't pay for what you want,
better go without it until you can.
Countenance the contracting of
no debts except in case of sickness
or other unavoidable causes. A lit
tie self denial at the start often lays
the foundation for a period of pros
perity and afiluence in after life
Live within your means, and grow
up as your means increases. Break
free from the old ruts with their
CALLING chains, and institute new
departure. Turn your pillow into
the old field and root out the last
vestige of the detestable weed that
has so long been encroaching upon
true progress. BY this we do not
mean that you should be niggardly,
or covetous, for this. too, is a vice
equally to be stunned, but walk up
the journey OF life without the
burden of debt to drag you down
and darken your pathway, that you
may peacefully enjoy the fruits of
your labors. and that your chances
of ultimate success may he brighter
and freer from risks.-Ex.

POTATO EXPERIMENTS

Mr.. K. A. Chisholm is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Mr.. Fitch,
the potato specialist at the Agri-
cultural College, at Fort Collins,
stating that he will be here early
in March to select the plot of
ground for experiment work in the
potato growing here this coming
season. He states further that he
would like suggestions from po-
tato growers, as to the class OF
work that will be most beneficial
TO the growers here. He desires
the work to be very practical, and
wants the views Of the actual grow
crs as TO what will do most at this
time to advance the industry here.
Such suggestions might be written
in care of Mr.. Chisholm, aud they
will be delivered to the specialist
on his arrival here.
We suggest that the CONNER
cial Club take this matter in hand
and give Mr.. Fitch a reception
when he comes, and assist in every
way possible in advertising the
work tina, will be done here, rs il
will be Of much value to Del Norte

Broom corn is proving one Of
the most profitable crops grown in
Colorado the past season. One
man in the Baca county, farmer
named d. & Greathouse, has jus,
sold $50 bales Of broom corn which
netted him over -, 700. As this
crop was grown without irrigation
it is something TO think about.
