sistent effort to bring about the develop ment of our unrivalled inheritance of re- sources.
 While that effort can be and should be put forth for every branch or develop ment that promises adequate returns, yet there Is one which will best illustrate the whole and more clearly demonstrate the truth of my statement.
 In round numbers, the area of Alabama is 32. .ocO, 900 acres of land of which 2o,00O,0e acres are available for farming purposes At the present time there is a difference of $50 per acre between the prices of these Alabama lands and those of the northern and western sections of our country, and yet these Alabama lands will produce a greater money yield per acre, with less of labor and more favorable living con ditions. than those of the other sections referred to-
 A proper movement for the better cul- tivation of Alabama lands and dissem- ination of the facts regarding them will cause the disappearance of this dlHerence in prices and our lands will sell TOT as much or more than those in northern To- calities. That would mean round bil- lion of dollars added to the land values of Alabama with possibly as much more rom the products of the soil such en- hancement would bring in it's train.
 Am I not correct in saying in the face of these facts that there is no greater work in which the people of Alabama can be engaged than in an effort to bring about these results? Was not Colonel Mcclure gifted with prophetic knowledge when he declared that Alabama was the richest state In the Union in undeveloped resources? While there is much to be ac- conplished in other fields now lying open to the hand of development, still there IS more in this one field than In all the others combia ]. This Is true because with 1t will come the solution of more of those problems now confronting us as a people and which are considered as bar riers to the states progress than is pos sible to be even hoped for without such development
 This development of the agricultural resources of Alabama will solve the prob lem of securing desirable immigrants, or settlers, for all portions of the state II will settle the problem of how to secure a better class of labor for all lines of industry for it will bring the high cost of living down to a minimum for all classes among us.
 But to accomplish these results a strong organization Is necessary, one that will intelligently comprehend the tasks to be accomplished and set itself to the use of the proper means and agencies for tbeir fulillment. I believe 1t entirely feasible to form and put into the field such an organization.
 I would not advocate the raising of any sum or the spending of a single dollar at the outset for outside advertising, nor V ould I favor the establishment of any bureau for bringing into the state immi- grants. That work should be left to fol- low the principal one of first getting our own people to engage in the upbuild- ing of the state along the lines indl- cated.
 Such a movement would prove in itself

MASQUERADERS TO
 APPEAR ON DEC. 1S
LOCAL TALENT WILL PRESENT 1.-THE TITLE MARTv BY WINSTON CHURCHILL - REHEARsALs UN- DER WAY SEVERAL WEEKS

The Masqueraders have decided upon Tuesday, December 13, as the date for the presentation of their new play, Winston Churchills comedy The Title Mart" at the Jefferson.
 In the meantime the rehearsals that have been going on for several weeks are being held under the stage direction of Mrs. W. s. Lowell, Mrs J. D. Kirkpat- rick and Miss Kirkpatrick It had been drought to use for the first rehearsals one of the rooms of the St. Marys free kindergarten new building, to help pay of the debt on which the Masqueraders have decided to give the proceeds of the play, but they found the rooms to much il demand by different classes and socfe- ties which are housed in the building that they could not do that without in- terfering with the work there
 The reharsals were started early so that the lines and business could be got ten we'll in hand some time before the play was to be given and the last few weeks of rehearsals devoted entirely to getting the play into shape as a whole and putting a finish on the work of the Individual characters.
 Besides the house properties of the Jef- ferson which are at the clubs disposal a great deal of special scenery is being painted by the club members themselves so that the production will be as well staged as any professional performance that Is given in Birmingham.

better advertisement than money could
 purchase and without which all the
 money imaginable spent in the ordinary
 channels of advertising would be in vain.
 There is nothing more true than the old
 adage that: "The gods help those who
 help themselves" and the spectacle of
 the people of a great state uniting in
 movement like this would impress the
 outside world with greater force and eff
 fectiveness than all the glittering claims
 that could be presented in advertising
 mediums, when there was no substantial evidence at hand to demonstrate the
 correctness of those claims.
 When 1t can be shown that the lands
 of Alabama will produce what Is being
 claimed for them the problem of obtain | ing desirable settlers will be solved, for such classes cannot be kept away from
 that kind of development. You will not
 have to go after these classes for they
 will come to you and you cannot entrap
 these under any other kind of condi- tions.
 l I speak from many years of close study of these matters with much of actual
 work in trying to bring permanent get tiers into Alabama, and I do not hesi-
 tnte to declare that such object lessons I Of production as I have in mind will prove more effective in obtaining desira- | ble settlers for every portion of Ala bama than all the advertising that could be put forth without such lessons to sus- l tain it.
 I The world soon learns where the best l facilities exist for advancement in any line of human endeavor, for there are channels of publicity that are looking for such information to disseminate With out price, and these channels are such as the public recognize as trustworthy and which are not talking for pay. | This central organization should be closely allied with the state department of agriculture, which should bear the larger portion of the expense incident l to it's operation. Such an organization would stimulate the press of the entire state to see that experimental farms
 were established throughout the state, and that agricultural education was made popular until more of our own young men would take up the slogan: Back to the farm," and act on it. Soon the spirit or this work would permeate every avenue and enter every corner of the state and after a while we could hope to see Ala bama enter into its own as the richest state In the union. N.
