Birmlngham's Census Jubilee
committee

The census jubilee should live in the future rather than in the past. It should be prophetic rather than reminiscent. for this city is in it's lusty youth. It is all most without a history. It is but 40 years old.
 And looking ahead, as the jubilee should, it should remember the open War rior. The Birmingham of the future will be based on an open Warrior, working in connection with Mississippi sound and Lake Borgne on the one hand and with the Panama canal on the other. There is no greatness for this city that is not based on water transportation. Tows and barges will enable our coal mines to sup ply the great Pacific world with fuel at prices that no other mines can compete with, and our iron and steel will go to market in like manner.
 The jubilee committee should remember the Warrior when they are preparing the celebrations of next month. The Warrior will soon be open 365 days in the year to ali boats drawing six feet of water. l. will be oblivious to ice or droughts or any other impediments of other rivers. On it's bosom will float a trade that other cities will envy, notably Atlanta, and the jubilee committee should celebrate it, for the jubilee celebration is to be almost wholly anticipatory. It will point at any rate to 1920

Southern Cities In the Census

Ten years ago the south had but two cities in the 1000 class-New Orleans and Memphis. This year it has six New Orleans, Memphis, Atlanta, Bir- min gham, Richmond and Nashville, a gain of 300 per cent. And San Antonio and Dallas almost crossed the line. and Houston and Fort Worth within speak ing distance.
 The population of Nashville Is 11o. 3s4, gain of 29,49s. or 36.5 per cent in 10 years. This Is satisfactory progress. The southern cities are outgrowing the northern cities. The average rate of increase in the former will prob ably be double that of the northern cities. How much of the greater in- crease. in the south Is due to the estab- lishment of industries and how much to general immigration cannot at present be determined. Such conclusions can be
 
 drawn from full census returns, and thus far the reports cover but three or four states.
 In the census of 1920 there will be at least 12 cities. instead of six, ofvt south in the 100000 class, for San An tonic, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth and list, and if Norfolk and Portsmouth would get together another southern city would cross the 100000 line. And when the Panama canal Is opened Mo- bile may gain population by leaps and bounds, becoming No. 13 In the list.

Buys His Goods Here

After placing large order in Birbing- ham, S. c. Tarver of Pittsburg. Ga, returned to his home yesterday. He was the guest of Murray Brown and was accompanied by Mrs. Tarver. He for merly resided in Birmingham and said in addition to this city being the logical trading center of the south, 1t is very pleasant for him to return to Birming- ham every few years.
 T was induced to become buyer here after the jobbing interests of Birmingham started their campaign said MT. Tarver. "I believe the merchants here are right about their claims. 1 think Birmingham is the logical point and hope to see every merchant so consider this city before a great while.
 "I have been away from Birmingham several years, and upon returning I an certainly amazed at the wonderful growth. The greatness of Birmingham cannot be realized until a person leaves here and remains away several years. hope and look for Birmingham to grow steadily until she ranks among the very best in the country from every point of view"

ENTERTAINING IN JAPAN
Wonderful System of Borrowing Makes It Easy For Butler
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 Entertaining in Japan is a fine art, but it has phases that Occidental hos a traveller, lately returned from the F'lowery Kingdom. The resources of the Japanese menage appear to be un- limited and the butler manages every thing. The hostess never has to plan beyond selecting the color of the flow CTS that are to be used in the decor ations. The host may bring home 20 unexpected guests, and with scarcely any delay the meal Is served as per lectly as if the staff had been notified This abundance at short notice does not mean that supplies are laid in by the cargo. It reveals instead a won derful system of borrowing, which, while 1t may be convenient at times, has unpleasant possibilities. One story is told of a man who, having sent to Australia for some mutton, ar ranged a dinner in its honor. At the appointed time a delicious dinner ap- peared, but no mutton. Investigation brought to light the fact that 1t had been loaned the previous night to tfe cook of the deadliest foe of the host for dinner at which he was entertain ing the very man with whom the actual owner of the mutton had hoped by its aid to make business deal. There was consolation, however, in the fact, which came out at the same time, that a wonderful dinner given by the mutt ton man a week before had been en- tirely borrowed from the foe."

"YOUR INCOME"

From the North American Review. AS gold is a commodity, it must obey the general law of supply and demand. rate. If one confines himself to interest rates on bonds or loans payable at dis tant date, 1t must be evident that a per son who believes in the Quantitive The ory of Money, and also believes that the gold production will increase will natu- rally not buy bonds, but will buy equi- ties Therefore, people who desire to is- sue bonds must pay an increased rate of interest to get their money so as to com pensate an investor for taking the risk of an increased production of gold and consequent rise in prices
 Tn the writer's opinion. one must come ito the conclusion that so long as gold continues to increase in production as 1t has in the past ten years, one cannot get away from deciding that the best chance of a return on his capital is an invest ment in equities-that is to say, he must place his money where the investment will carry the equity with it.
 Tt Is most serious question and ought to be treated by our national government; otherwise, at any rate of increase of the gold production, it will not be long be- fore the principal countries of the world will appoint monetary commissions to deal with the question of gold as they were obliged to deal with the silver ques- tion
