Beautiful Building Brick

There can be no question of the beauty as well as the safety of brick house.
 In the construction of fine residences all the genius and artistic concepts of the architect is brought into play. Much of the fame of Birningham residen- tial section and it's public buildings and office structures is in no small measure due to the many varieties Of beautiful building brick produced by the Sibley- -Menge company, These brick run into an almost ondless variety of colors and shades-reds, pinks, browns, buffs blues and mott1es. And one strong feature is that these colors are permanent and will not fade because they are literally burned into the clay in making the brick, and these colors are the natural product of the clays used and have no artificial coloring g matter added.

Dynamite for Farming

Among the innovations that have come
 into use within the past few years, in
 fact, of very recent date, is the use cf explosives in preparing land for the plant ing Of crops. One of tho principal points in the matter of cultivating the soil is pulverization. Many devices have been resorted to, but most of these to a large degree, only on the surface, or, relative ly, but a few inches under ground. |. las been conclusively demonstrated tha, the preparation of the soil needs the reaching deep down, as it were, for zhe purpose of creating moisture and also bringing the plant in contact with cer- tain chemical properties in new soil Dy- nsmitins, 1t would appear from the re- suits produced, offers the farmer the

one of the slogans of this growing city and district is "Patronize home industries" This is well for in no other way can this industrial com munity forge so rapidly toward it's destiny as in the encouragement of those men who are taking the wood, iron and steel of Alabama and arg fashioning il into merchandise or ar ticles of utility. The day that Bir- gham has more skilled wor<men drawing good wages and making q home market for her mills and fur naces, she will have an abiding pros perity, unintluenced by stock spccuia- tors and cotton gamblers. It is a pleas ure to call attention to some of the work on one establishment which. is distinctly home institution.
 Cruse & Coleman are manufacturers of business vehicles. They have a fine exhibit of high grade business wagons under the grandstand. 1t is one of the most attractive and interesting ex- hibits on the ground.

THE. ALABAMA STATE FAIR
COMPLETE
 ARTISTIC EVER
BY PERCY CLARK

beautiful photographs of the works of the company are shown on the walls of the booth, one of which is long panorama view of the entire plant
 It Is worthy of note that this Is the only company in Alabama manufactur- ing wire products and the largest one in the south.
 In addition to it's exhibit in the in dustria1 arts building, the company shows on the ground near the model dairy a splendid display of its woven wire field fencing, with barb wire and smooth galvanized cable wire stretched in place on the Conway steel posts The panels of fencing thus shown ex- hibit ideal fences for all purposes; for, orchards, fields, cattle, horse and hog pastures. Alongside the field fencing shown they have installed in an open booth a barb wire fence machine, oper- ating precisely the same as it does at their works, producing galvanized barb wire, in charge of one of their expert operators from the works, mak- ing reel after reel of the wire with great regularity. The working of this machine has proven to be one of the most interesting exhibits at the fair, and is attracting universal attention, as 1t is. probably within bounds to say that not one person in 10000 has ever seen the very interesting operation of a barb wire machine.
 The people of Birmingham and of Ala bama should appreciate the efforts of those who provided such an instruc- tive and attractive exhibit. Many peo- pie have shown much interest in the making of barbed wire as exhibited, and when the machine Is not in oper- ation there are continual inquiries as to when 1t will start.
 H. Sanborn Smith. ice president and general sales agent. personally su- perintended the installation of the wire machine and the exhibit On the morn ing of the day of opening so desirous was MT. Smith of having the wire mill in operation that he assembled his forces by 4 o'clock q. m., and when the gates were opened everything was

A Great Alabama Industry

The development and growth of the mining and manufacturing interest of Alabama is story of the past third of century. There are only a few industrial interpretations rich in all the materials necessary for the melting ot iron and the making Of steel and the manufacturing into commercial prod ucts this steel.
 The Southern Iron and Steel com pany, general offices, Birmin gham, Ala, works, Alabama City, Gadsden, Ala. prompted by the spirit of enterprise and at great expense brought from their Alabama City plant wire mall- ing machine and an elaborate exhibit.
 This company is making the most attractive exhibit of their products in the industrial arts building, their booth being decorated most artistically y in colors white and royal purple, and illuminated with a great number O. white and purple incandescent lamps. They display not only raw materials, such as ore, coal, coke, mined from in Alabama adjacent to their steel plant, but also pig iron, steel billets. from which are produced the finished products in various forms, such as wire nails, woven wire fencing, barb wire. twisted cable wire, merchant steel bars in great variety and sizes, square twist . ed bars for concrete reinforcement, smooth wire, both plain annealed and galvanized, etc.
 The whole exhibit gives the visitors a very comprehensive idea of the prod . ucts turned out by the steel and wire plants of this company. Some very

 rank with all competitors. The per

 all of their several building brick, set | up and well displayed. While they
 make many kinds of fancy brick they are at the present time giving most of their plant over to the making of what is known as the Flash Brick. : This firm has steadily aimed to im- prove their products and to Keep IL well up with the most modern struc- | tural brick. They have also reduced the price to purchasers, while steadily ad-

 The flash brick" gets its name from a peculiar fire flash used in manufac- tureing.
 It may be interesting to many per

until on my trip here today I fell in with a citizen of Atlanta, whom
 could not convince of the greatness
 of the Magic City. l fear that it will
 take you some years to educate the Georgians to the future industrial wealth and present vast possibilities
 of your beautiful city.
 | But l came here to talk to you of l Civic Religion not that of any creed
 or sect and l am going to pay you | tho compliment of saying what l sin cerely believe to be the truth for the Young Mems Hebrew association did not invite me here to flatter nor agree | with you.
 ''rhe problem of the nation is not that of 50 years ago. At that time the national problem was the problem of state rights. Today the problem of the nation is the problem of civic duty. a problem which has not grown out of | state rights, but, it must be admitted, out of civic wrongs. Ours ought to be Il religion of patriotism, for Amer | ica is not a land alone, nor country, nor a people, but a hope, vision. an ideal. What nobler religion can there be than the pure love and unselfish l service of tho noblest, freest common 1 wealth the world has ever known? If civic patriotism is to become q civic religion. the pitfalls of religion must be avoided. For one thing, civic {, religion must avoid the danger of scape- goatism. Let us not make sapegoa:
 of some single political force or or ganization and thus try to explain away civic inefficiency and civic unrighteous- hess. Such an organization as Tam
 many Hall Is supported not only by the active suffrage at all times of a very | large minority of New York's citizen ship, but above all is made possible by l the indifference and lethargy of mui- | titudes who do not care, and. more- over, by the inefficiency and incompe- tence of many of those who set forth to lead the forces of reform. Tammany
 Hall by any other name, or by any other party, would smell as rank. Tho power of the Tammany Halls, not Tam
 many Hall of Philadelphia. Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and New York, is made possible by the corrupt leader ship of few and the inert acquies- cence of the many.
