MUSIC CFEST|VAL
 ON GRAND SCALE To Be Held During Week
 of May P MEETING YESTERDAY Victor Herbert Will Be Engaged and Famous Artists Will Assist in Making the Festival
 Success
MEETING YESTERDAY

Birmingham Is to have a music fes- tival on a grand scale in the week of Monday, May 22. This will be the Ma tional Good Roads convention week. but whether the festival will begin on Mon- day or Tuesday night will be decided later.
 At a meeting of the music festival executive committee yesterday mass of telegraphic correspondence between President J. H. Holcombe and booking agencies in New York and other cities was read and a great deal of business was transacted.
 It was expected that Damrosch's or chestra, which was the chief attrac- ton of last years festival, would be re-engaged for this year, but after it was decided that the festival would be held during the good roads convention a motion prevailed to engage Victor Her bert, for Damrosch's only open dates were May g. 10 and Il. Herbert, 1t was pointed out was not only one or the most eminent musicians and successful conductors in this country, but that he was a great box office proposition at this time owing to his splendid achieve ment in writing the first American grand opera, "Natoma." MT. Holcombe was authorized to engage in addition to the vocal artists, which Herbert Will bring, one or two extra singers Of world wide fame. The festival will be given at the Jefferson theatre. An effort had been made to secure the Bijou on ac- count of it's larger seating capacity, but that theatre was not available at any time in May. Last years music festl- val was held at the Jefferson and was a great success in every particular. There was no deficit, which was quite an inn large or small.
 The cost of the festival in 1910 was something like $6O00. The amount to be extended on the forthcoming affair will be between 5000 and $10,00O. But as a great star-greater than any ever heard at any festival in Birmingham-will sing each night the scale. of prices will run higher and the executive committed thinks that there will be surplus rather than a deficit
 President Holcombe was directed te take steps to have the Birmingham mu- sic festival association incorporated.
 J. ". Donnelly was added to the ex- ccutive committee. The full committed is now made up now as follows: J. H. Holcombe, president; B. B. Burton, sec retary: Hill Ferguson, treasurer, ane Richard w. Massey, Otto Marx, William Ryan, Hugh Martin, A. H. Ford, J. L Edwards, NJ V. Joseph, Coleman Black | C KY ITfford and l. w. Donnelly.

the dairies in Shades valley yesterday. had previously visited these places and can only say that all of them show marked and commendabe improvement.
 One dairy Is said to be the best in the south. That is, it Is claimed that it is the only one south of Louisville that does everything to milk before it is of fered for sale that is required by the United States health department. This is the Cloverdale dairy, recently taken over and newly equipped by John l.. Kaul, Robert Jemison, Jr c! Gazzum and
 Frank L. Moses. Everything in connec- tion with this dairy plant is ideal The
 very latest and most approved machinery for the handling of the products has been
 installed. and intelligent labor takes every precaution to see that the milk is abso-
 lutely clean and sanitary.
 Other plants visited come up to all
 physical requirements and are producing
 a supply of milk that is wholesome and clean. The barns are all kept in fine t, condition. The floors are of cement and | are kept as clean as water and mops can
 make them. There is nothing offensive
 about them. The improvement over re-
 cent conditions seen in the Birmingham l district are most marked.
 Tho plants visited yesterday are those of N. T. Graham, the Cloyerdale in
 charge of Frank l.. Moses, w.. B, Baker
 and c. P Chandler.
 MT. Chandler operates the Crestline Heights dairy. His success is truly won derful and illustrates what may be ac- | complshed in the dairy business in the 1 Birmingham district.
 | He came here only seven years ago and had but $2O. He has a comfortable home and one of the best little dairies In the valley. He says that everything on the place and the place itself is paid tor wirn
 the exception of an incinerator for his dry | closet that he had just purchased from MT. Ferguson.
