Gold. Crops and General Business

Last Saturday 100000 in gold was sent
to London. and further exports may fol-
low. There Is nothing remarkable in gold
shipments at this time of the year. In
1909 we sent away sSs, 100000 more than
we imported.
Gold exports would have been begun
earlier this year had we not exported
new securities instead. 1t is estimated
that the people across the sea have taken
this year about $500, 100000 in new Ameri-
can securities. This has postponed the
gold export movement, and will lessen
Its volume hereafter.
1t is safe to say that we will not lose
more gold than we dig from the earth,
go that our gold supply will remain prac-
tically undiminished. This was the case
last year, and it will doubtless be re-
peated this year.
All are watching the winter wheat and
other crops, and whenever a favorable
outturn of the years crop can be fore
seen, a wave of prosperity will sweep
over the land. Every factory will be
nlled with orders. and the railroads will
hasten to increase their equipment. All
Of the expert observers agree that moth
ing can prevent a great wave OF general
business. industrial and commercial. ex-
rept a general crop failure and such a
failure in a broad country is almost with
out precedent.

TOO MANY FAMOUS NAMES
When Mark Antony Sent Him to George
Washington Shipper Got Sore

From tie New Orleans Times Democrat.
The railroad reporters who have been
around the new Frisco offices good
deal since they opened had their fondest
dreams realized Tuesday. The Frisco S
city passenger and ticket agent is Mark
Anthony. The freight agent at the ter
mnal station is George Washington. Ma
polcon Bonaparte Iioskns is the Frisco
soliciting agent.
Tuesday afternoon a sunburned, honest
looking man, who probably is an up
state rice planter, came into the ticket
office opposite the st. Charles hotel and
questioned Anthony about some house,

Famous Hotel Cat Gets Warm Welcome
ON Return From Hospital

From the Washington Post.
well, see old Tom is back from
the hospital" remarked Clayton Sing
erly of New York at the New willard
last night.
There was much joy about the
tavern, too, when he came back recov-
eredr continued Mr.. Singerly, who then
explained that "Old Tom was the
famous cat of the hotel which for four
years has been much admired and
pctted. few weeks ago "Old Tom"
was found mewing piteously with a
broken leg. In other days cats less
valued found with broken leg would
have been promptly put out of misery,
but not so with the Willard manage
ment A doctor was called from the
animal hospital and he quickly dag
nosed Toms trouble as compound
fracture of the ulna and radius" Then
the wise animal M. d. called an am
bulance and tenderly conveyed "Old
Tom to the hospital with as much at
tention as would be given a human
patient few weeks of nursing after
bonesetting brought "Old Tom into
condition, and last night he made his
rounds of the Willard like watch
man. Old guests welcomed him, and
new guests wondered why so much fuss
was made over a cat.
you know, Old Tom Is a character
continued Mr.. Slngerly. HE began as
extra Waterman in this tavern when
only a kitten. 1t is wonderful how a
city tenement cat 10 years old which
has never tasted catnip will devour 1t
greed.ly when first offered. Cats have
an instinct for 1t. knowing 1t to be
their natural medicine, and Old Tom
is ever eager for it almost to the point
Of dissipation. All hotels have pete, but
Tom seems the famous one in the
east Occasionally hotel has pet
dog which is friendly with guests, but
dogs grow grumpy as they grow old
and are not safe with children. My
friend George Mills at the Dewey
thought he had unique pet some time
back in turtle OF the box cooter va
riety. but about the time Mills had his
cooter trained some one lifted 1t for
keeps"

Let Us Have the Bond Issue

bond issue of $4,000 by the city of
Birmingham is an absolute necessity. This
is apparent, as Mayor o'Brien points out
In an official notice to the public, which
will be found on another page Of to-
days Age-Herald. The necessity arises
from the conditions growing out of the
annexation of outlying municipalities.
The citizens are to vote on the proposed
bond issue next Monday. Should they
fail to authorize the issuance of the
bonds, the credit of Birmingham would
be seriously impaired; so impaired, in
fact, that the city would be forced
to a scrip basis to meet the running
expenses of the municipal government.
But it is hardly thinkable that the peo-
pie will show indifference in this mat
ter.
There was a popular demand for the
extension of Birmingham's limits, and
now that we have Greater Birmingham
a city of $4,000 inhabitants or more-the
financial problem that confronts us must
be met in a straightforward and business
like manner. With the 100000 bond
proposition approved at the polls, the
city will have plain sailing, so to speak.
The people of Birmingham are, as
rule, prospecting now as never before,
and that being so, 1t should go without
SAYING that the municipal administration
will receive prompt support in all pro-
gressive and reasonable policies. No man
of civic pride can afford to stay away
from the polls next Monday Let there
be a full vote, and let every citizen
with the welfare Of Birmingham at heart
cast his ballot in the affirmative.

County 10 Be Cengratulated

Now that the jefferson county primary
business activity The campaign was
spirited and like all political campaigns
was distracting to the people. But JEFF
ferson county is to be congratulated upon
the good order that prevailed. No cam
paign in which so many offices were
sought or so many candidates were in evil
dence was ever conducted on higher
plane. In view of the exciting canvass for
nearly every office to be filled the abb
sence of bitterness among aspirants and
their partisans was really remarkable
The county is to be congratulated, too,
upon the character of the men chosen in
the primary. Every one of the 10 nomi-
nees of the democratic party is admirably
qualified for the duties of the office he
seeks. Every one of them is capable
and every one OF them pears hlgh rep
utation for integrity. 1t would be diff
fcult, indeed, to recall time when JEFF
ferson county was served by finer set
OF men, take them all in all, than the
nominees who are to be elected next
fall. And there is another thing worthy
of note. All the candidates in the pri-
mary were good men. There was hardly
one of them who would not have made
model officer In many sections of the
country corruption in office seems to be
the rule. Graft is more prevalent than
ever before, and the rottenness discoy--
cred in high places is simply appalling.
II Is with a feeling of genuine pride, then,
that the people of Jefferson county point
to their fellow ciilzens who are to serve
them in office.
But, being done with county politics for
two wears. the men who have had off
their coats for their friends have gone
back TO work and will keep their shout
ders heneeforth well to prosperitys
wheel.

Windows and Doors In Hot Weather

The screening of restaurants, bakeries
and meat markets is to be enforced by
the officers of the health department,
and they cannot be too rigid and unyield-
ing in enforcing the law.
But screening should not stop there.
In this month of April every door and
window in the city should be screened
every one. The screen that keeps out
the house fly loaded with disease germs
will also keep out mosquitoes later on
IN the season.
The cost need not be great II Is not
accessory to buy screens in a frame.
Wire for screening is retailed in any
width at cents a square foot, ready
to be tackled to the outside, enabling
the householder to throw up the lower
sash with impunity. Take. for, example.
: window 32x4O inches. This calls for a
screen containing 1850 square inches, or
nine square feet Its cost would. there
fore, be IS cents. Add 1 cent for short
lacks and the total cost per window
stands at 10 cents
No head of home can afford to let
house flies and mosquitoes ravage It when
he can protect himself at the rate of 10
sents window. A screen door will cost
more, because frame is necessary and
spring hinges. But the total cost of the
average dwelling need not exceed s., and
4 10 true economy and true comfort Ia
expend that amount on ones home in the
nonth of April, when at least six month:

COLLEGE BASEBALL


DR.. Henry S. Prtchett, president of the
Carnegie Foundation, in the April scrib-
ner.
To the old-timer who played baseball
In college IS years ago, one of the most
striking differences of the baseball of to-
day is to be found in its enormous cost
as compared with the cost then. Like
football. baseball has come to be conduct
ed in the larger institutions as bust
ness The young fellow who plays upon
a team, instead of buying his own suit,
as we did a generation ago, and chip
ping in a certain modest sum to purchase
bats and balls, finds everything bought
for him. Boys who have come from mod
est homes suddenly find themselves liv-
ing at a rate which they never before
imagined From the ample receipts of the
athletic committee, expensive suits and
sweaters are furnished in profusion. The
nine is carried about the country in Pull
man cars at the expense of the college
athletic association and lead life as col
lege athletes so far beyond their means
In luxury and expense as to prove thor
oughly demoralizlng to many.
OF all the affections which this business
mas brought in, there is nothing which
seems to us old-timers so absurd as the
fad of the college training table. The
idea that a young fellow of Is to 2, who
is leading a decent, clean life, eating
wholesome food and dividing his time be-
tween work and play, must be provided
with a special table In order that he may
play good football or baseball, Is an af-
lection so extreme that it is difficult to
treat it seriously. It belongs to that
regime of extravaganza which has come
In with big gate receipts and expensive
coaches and free baseball suits The
quicker 1t is dropped, the greater respect
men will have for the college conduct Of
athletics

More Voting Places Needed

In Jefferson county primary the ticket
number of voting places in the city of
Birmingham the work OF CONTRASTING the
ballots has been very slow. With the con-
gested vote at the courthouse. the city

places it is practically impossible for
the election officers to get through with
the count until the morning after the
election. This should not be SO.
There is certainly no good reason why
the public should be kept in suspense.
And there is no reason why election
officers should be required to work all
night It cannot be expected that the
men on duty all day at polling box
will be In first rate condition for count
