Semi Annual Statement
Jefferson County Building and Loan
 Association
Growth All Along the Line for the Past
 Year

According to its custom the Jefferson County Building and Loan association publishes its semi-annual statement of condition at the close of the last half year.
 This statement gives total assets of s6lS,5f5.64, which by comparison with the statement of December 31, 1909, shows a gain for the year of $9S, ,513 4S. This is d rate of gain between semi-annual state ments of about s50,0O0. which to the man agement is more than satisfactory. A growth of $100,O00 per annum is more than keeping pace with the growth of the district and would seem to indi- cate a growing disposition among the people of this district to save money
 During the year the association has paid all It's dividends, which are 6 per cent on the great bulk of it's investment stocks, and per cent on all it's loan stock and increased undivided profits. this account now standing at over SEQ GOO. AS all stockholders are paid at least 6 per cent and the funds are loaned at 8 per cent the growth of surplus is evidence enough in itself of careful. pru. dent and economical management. After all. building and loan associa- ton, like a bank, depends for it's sue. cess on public confidence, and the con tinued growth of the Jefferson Count, speaks for itself of the association' standing in this community.

Real Estate Boom

According to the real estate dealers of the city the demand for farm land and city property is becoming strong CT every day. This is especially true of farms. A number of farm sales have been made recently and others are about to be coasumma ted. The best de- mand seems to be for small places suitable for truck farming and in- quiries for these are coming in right along. Not only are outsiders anxious to come here and engage in the rais- ing of truck crops but the home peo- pie are beginning to see the profits in this occupa tion and men who few years ago, when the field was open derided the idea of giving up cotton raising to produce cabbage potatoes and other vegetables, are now ready to fall in line even though there is considerable competition.

 The building was located right in the business section and for a time il was thought that the whole block would be consumed. Good work on the part of the volunteer fire department kept the flames within bounds and very little damage was done, aside from the destruction of the one build ing. The structure was the property Of the bank and some insurance was car ried. but not enough to cover the loss, which will be fully s5000. It is like ly that the building will be replaced at once.

SPECIAL TRAIN FROM
 THE LOGICAL POINT
New Orleans Boosters to Pass Through Birmingham This Morning En
 Route to Washington

Gov. Jared Y. Sanders and 125 citizens of New Orleans and Louisiana will pass through this city this morning on spe- cial train known as the Logical Point Special"
 The party is en route to Washington, where they will renew their claims be- fore Congress that New Orleans should be designated by the government as the place to hold the Panama exposition.
 The train will arrive here at 6 o'clock and will be operated on the schedule of one of the fastest trains on the Queen and Crescent route. Local officers will join the party here and contribute to their comfort to Cincinnati
 The train, which left New Orleans last night at 7:30 o'clock, is composed of six sleepers, one dining car and one baggage car.
 Governor Sanders and the 'boosters'' have been wAging stiff fight before Con gress to secure the exposition for New Orleans. San Francisco has also put up a large sum to secure the event and the competition between the two cities Is very keen. itfr<
 The special passing here this morning Is the fifth one used by the New Orleans men to go before Congress at Washington. They have spent already thousands of dol lars in trying to land the exposition and the indications point to their success. The exposition at New Orleans would be of great value to this section, as it would cause hundreds of thousands of people to go through here tp the Crescent City. Birmingham merchants. civic bodies and Alabama congressman have indorsed the movement of New Orleans and are aid- ing no little in the fight.
 The special this morning will arrive at seclock and will leave at s:ic o'clock.

 the Rev. pr. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue, would add him to the catalogue of platform adopts. Within the last week. particularly. has his dex- terity of expression found a widespread acknowledgment. When he attacked a number of supreme court judges and Je- rome for taking dinner with Richard Cro- ker, he found an audience as big as the city is wide, and there was a unantmity of opinion as to his forcefulness as an oratorical hard-hitter, both among the better element that approved and the Tammany contingent that scoffed.
 "If perchance, there be those who had not heard Dr. Wise prior to his remarks on Crokerism and the 'city's night of shame,' it may be said that he has been saying striking things about moral and governmental questions for 8 good many years. This week may have been the first time that he located the pulse of all New Yorlz's interest, but in the better informed circles he has long commanded attention; and out in Portland, Ore, where he spent the years from 1900 to 1907. he gained name that was known throughout the state, as a pulpit orator and independent worker in public move- ments. Portland came to know the rabbi SIS a man ready to get into any fight against graft or official inefficiency.
 His influence was extended until the pulpit aspect was only a part of it. He worked as well as preached There is probably no preacher of any denomina- tion whose pulpit utterances have been more quoted than those of the young rabbi The reason Is easy to find. He has the knack of foreseeing the interest in a subject as soon as it arises. Time lness is the keynote of his sermons"

 Secondly. it is said that the scouting system of locating an approaching fleet was by no means as far advanced at that time as it now is. Finally, it is pointed out that there was at that time no wire less telegraphy. Wireless, it is believed, will be a great help in the present plan of locating the 'enemy' or the battleship feet

JAPANESE DO NOT HAVE
TO PAY DOCTORS BILLS

A Japanese doctor never dreams OF
asking poor patient for a fee. There
is a proyerb among the medical fra
ternity of Japan. when the twin
enemies, poverty and disease, invade
a home. then he who takes aught from
that home, even if il be given him, is
q robber."
Often remarked a recent lecturer
on life in Japan, "a doctor will not
only give his time and medicine free
TO the sufferer, but he will also give
him money to tide over his dire neees-
stiles. Every physician is his own
dispenser, and there are very few
apothecaries' shops in the empire.
When even a rich man calls a doc
tor he does not believe that he will
receive a bill for medical services; in
fact. no such thing as a doctors bill
is known in Japan, although nearly
all modern practices are in vogue
there The strict honesty of the peo-
pie does not make it necessary for the
doctor to ask a fee. When he has
finished his visits to the patient a
present is made to him, Just as much
as the patient can afford. The doc
tor smiles, bows, thanks his patient
and the transaction is settled. DE
