Plan is Tried Out.
The idea for beginning a "glad
hand campaign originated with
several of the minor officers of the
company, who experimental with the
plan and later reported to the gener-
al offices of the company that they
had met with unusual success.

ram J. Slifer issued the following
circular: zz
'More than any other class of en-
ployes, you have the opportunity of
close contact with the farmers who
are producing today that which

row.
"Have you ever thought of cult
waiting the farmer while he is culti-
waiting the fields? A friendly chat
over the fence, wave of the hand
as you pass by, may mean a shipment

were interested in him. For the COM

War on Schemers.
All railroads connected with the
Western Passenger Association have
declared war against travellers who
check baggage over their lines and
then travel via trolley lines. ~
This scheme, it is declared, has
been worked in large measure by
commercial travellers who use mile
age tickets to get their trunks
checked and save money by patron
izing an interurban electric road.
Hereafter this method of doing
business will be stopped by requiring
holders of mileage tickets to present
them at ticket Offices and obtain a
passage ticket for the distance to be
travelled. This ticket must be shown
before the baggage is checked.
/ Same as Last Year.

same in Western Passenger Associa.

Alabama's Good Crops

This has been an exceptionally good crop year for the whole south, and for Alabama in particular. While much damage has been done to cotton by the caterpillar, a normal crop will probably be ginned. There was great deal of deterioration in August, and some of the largest farmers in the state say now that the crop will scarcely total 100000 bales.
 Cotton buyers naturally do not wish to see prices soar, and they estimate bumper crop for the south, and pre- dict an Alabama crop of 1,400, ,000 bales. It has not been very many years since a 100000 bale crop was considered normal for this state, but agriculture in Alabama has progress ed very materially in recent years. Modern methods are practiced, and what is usually meant by normal to-
  day is 100000 or 1,350,OO bales. This state may not make 1,400,O00 bales, but one must be a pronounced bear, indeed, to figure on less than 1 100000 bales. The chances are we will have normal crop.
 In addition to a good cotton crop, Alabama has made a great corn crop record breaker, it is be- lieved. The farmers have corn and hay in abundance, and taken alto gether this should be a year of decid- ed prosperity in the farming districts of Alabama.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Regarding Telephone Rates

While l have not fully analysed the Bell Telephone company's figures, l am decidedly of the opinion that as a general proposition the company is act ing in a thoroughly business like way in advancing it's rates,'' said W. r. G. Harding
 Certainly no one here should wish to see any corporation or concern of any kind operating without fair profit. If it is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, that the Bell Telephone's s business Is not yielding reasonable re- turns on the company's investment it would be very wrong for any public officials having competent jurisdiction to prevent the Increase in rates
 Men with money to lend get and s per cent for it, being a legal rate in this state; and capitalists invest ing in corporations. taking large risks as they do, should be accorded every facility for earning good dividends
 The Bell Telephone company has made heavy expenditures here, and is building up plant to take care of a business that city many times the size of Birmingham will in time pro vide. The people of Birmingham are ject to paying rates that Atlanta Rich mond and other cities of our class now pay"

No Opposition to Mr. Underwood

Those who had occasion in the course of business to visit the various parts of this state have come back with the information that the rank and file-the men without anything up their sleeves-are practically unanimous in favoring a delegation to the national convention instructed for Oscar w. Underwood for Presi- dent.
 This unanimity is the plain desire of the plain citizen who has no ax to grind. And it is all the more re- markable because it has arisen with out any effort whatever on MT. Un- derwood's part His close personal friends have to this writing stood still while public sentiment crystallized. This sentiment is based on the well known capacity of Mir. Underwood in directing public affairs. He has proven to be as safe as he is pro- gressive, and that is the kind of man Alabama wants, and the rest of the south will be very apt to follow the bellwether state. A contingency may arise in the convention, subject as it will be to the antiquated two-thirds rule, that would bring the rest of the states in line.
 At any rate Alabama has the best of candidates, and it should, for the general good of the south, present his honored name to the convention. This of itself will go far to break the fading policy of the north against the selection of a southern candidate. Fairminded men, including all busi- ness men, no longer cherish this form of sectionalism, and the presentation of Mr. Underwood's name by Ala bama promises to drive it out of poli- tics altogether. The opportunity of the state is a fine one, and the indi- cations are that a solid Underwood delegation will be sent to the national convention instructed to stand by the states favorite son to the end of the balloting.

More About Clothes

''I read with interest what some one had to say day or two ago about styles in dress, said a man. Tn the interview referred to there was an emphatic protest against the small, close fitting skirts which women have been wearing recent ly I quite approved the protest. The frocks that have been in great vogue must offend the eye of artists and all per sons of esthetic culture. In order to pro- duce a good effect from an artists point of view the skirt should be wide, gener
 ally speaking, and the wider the better. [
 "'.As to mems dress. there has been an
 improvement here in the south in the matter of quality in the past four or five years. Now the model dressers among men in this country are to be found in New York The New Workers are sin gularly we'll groomed. The men. indeed. are about the best groomed in the world. In Paris l noticed a few men clad in the height of fashion, extreme fashion. Their clothes looked very fussy. But the aver age man on the streets of Paris struck me as being indirerently clothed. Hc was not as well dressed as the man living in provincial towns. In London much atten- ton is paid to quality of fabric but the London talors are proverbial for. not hotherins about fits. In Germany the men dress quietly but elegantly. But believe there is q consensus of opinion that New York leads all the cities in mons styles individually applied
 In cities where q lack of taste Is shown in clothes the man, when lie goes

PHYSICAL ENJOYMENT OF ART

Robert Haven Schauffler, in the Atlantic.
 A number of prominent European think CTS have come to believe that when we enjoy statue, for instance, we uneon- sciously initiate it's pose and suggested movements Not only with our eyes but also. in a parliamentary way. with our whole bodies do we follow it's outlines. We feel our way into the statue physical ly as well as mentally so as to incorpo- rate 1t with our actual experience. And thus with the products of the other arts as we'll With unsuspeeted thoroughness we feel our way into their appreciation. Our very bodies resound to the rhythms of Rembrandt and Shakespeare, of von SteinbaclS and Beethoven. Every one has experienced his body's tendency to feel it's way into music by noddng or tapping time to it. And I believe that most of us may detect in our throats or lips, even when we think of a tune certain slight, involuntary contractions or puckerings which are the rudimentary attempts of our subconscious selves to sing or whistle in imitation, And not alone do our bodies thus try to reproduce reality; they even initiate. our ideals. Witness the uncon- so.ous contortions of the billiard player as nis cue ball misses the other by hair.

Prosperous southern Cities

L. R. Barras of Dallas, Tex, is in the city. He Is of a prominent concern of building contractors which has an office in Houston as well as in Dallas, and his company will probably establish branch in Birmingham.
 "I visit Birmingham frequently; was here a few months ago and again only 10 days ago., said MT Barras. This is one of the great cities of the country, and 1t is making steady strides. In view of the big future of Birmingham the company with which I am connected will proba bly open an office here at an early date
 Dallas is a fine city, as everyone knows who keeps up with southern de- vclopment. Dallas and Houston, both be- lng progressive, each of them is planning important things for the future. It is gen. erally thought that those two cities are about even in the race now"

China's New Disturbances

The outbreak at Chengfu, in the province of Szechuen, has extended to surrounding provinces. It is direct ed more against the government than against foreigners per SC. No feeling against missionaries is involved. The movement is directed against the government because it let four west ern nations, including the United States, have the job of building the Hukwang railroad. The leaders of the new movement say that China should build and own all railroads in China. In other words, all enter prises in China should be withdrawn from foreign hands to be turned over to domestic development.
 The feeling is nationalistic, based on just pride, and as such it will gain some respect in the outside world. The steps taken are, however, too vigorous, and they will certainly miscarry. Contracts cannot be set aside by force. The government asked other nations to build what it could not, and the leaders of the outbreak are trying to defeat the building of the American section of the railroad. America certainly does not desire to control China. It seeks the open door, and it respects the sovereignty of the empire and it's territorial integrity. The Chinese insurgents are right at heart, but in method they arc alto

\ Great Band

"The United States Marine band starts off this week on a limited south ern tours and it is safe to say that large audiences will greet it wherever it appears" said a music lover who formerly lived in Washington.
 The Marine band Is not only Uncle Sam's crack musical organization, but it is one of the greatest brass and reed concert banas in the world. When ] lived in Washington about 15 years ago the Marine band, including the con ductor numbered 52 men. It now num- bers 75 performers besides Lieutenant Santelmann, the present conductor, and Sub-Conductor Smith. The men are ui- vided into three classes.
 There are 30 of the first class and their pay is $60 month-good wages when it is remembered that every dol lar of their pay can be saved food, clothing and laundering being provided by the government There are 30 in the second class and these men receive $5O month. The third class of 15 is on a pay basis of the common soldier. The term of enlistment in the Marine band is four years, and no applicant is re- ceived unless he is proficient on some instrument; and before he can get into the first class he must be not only an performer, but he must pass a rigid examination in the theory of mu- sic; he must be able to write music grammatically; in other words he must be musician rather than mere player

As to Street Lights

'l hear a great deal about Atlanta s white way, and I hope Birmingham will sonn have something similar. said F.. j.. Dunn, but it makes me smile to hear people laying such emphasis on Atltnta S illumination. for I remember that just before the white way was installed At lanta was tine most dismal city at night that I had ever seen. l used to wonder how it was that a city of such preten- sions and reputati ton for progress could be without adequate street lights. The merchants did not light their store win oows as did those of Birmingham, and the two cities could not be compared, then. for Birmingham was as far ahead Of Atlanta in lights in the business dis tIict as the average city is ahead of the small town. Birmingham will soon have a write way, but Atlanta people will con tinue to brag about theirs as being some thinE peculiar to Atlanta"
