Birmingham peanut butter equal to any now sold. The undesirable or faulty nuts are hurried back to the grower whence they came and the huls and hearts, which are extracted from the nut to eliminate any substance that might de- stroy the native sweetness of the kernel, become chicken food.
 Potato chips, which do not allow much profit these days with the star like prices attached to them, is the only com panion to the peanut butter made at the southern plant just a present. but saltod peanuts for package trade will be added to the output before many days ard the Birmingham spirit of Trade at hone' will no doubt do wonders in making the trio as popular as the wearing of the Underwood buttons.

A LITTLE GOSSIP ABOUT
 BIRMINGHAM REAL ESTATE
Fly \ NON-HESIDENT

The real estate market of Birmingham m and environs is quiet; that is, quiet so far as the actual sales of vacant lots is concerned From this very lack of trad ing in such property there is shown the real strength of the market. To get eo tn. heart of the situation, after every pe- riod of great activity, with q rapid ad- vance in values such as the Birmingham district has had the future prospects of business and general development are an- ticipated by the buyers and agents. Such a period must be folowed-in any town that is progressng-by another period in which such business and development may come up with this anticipatio of the investor or speculator.
 A vacant lot wherever it may be located. no matter how great it's cost value may be, is of no use unless some useful struc ture is erected thereon.
 The past two or three years have shown how well thought out were the ideas of the speculator few hours drive about the city in any direction will reveal to the visitor any number of new houses from the $5o,0oO town house of the Country club district to the beautiful homes of the west end of the Highlands.

 Look no further than the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street and one can see evidence of the best rnoned thought about the town. Can any think for moment that inactivity is prevalent with such evidences of development as is she VII in the residential and business sec tions of the city?

 A developer and builder of Birmingham visited Portland, Ore three years ago. There he saw the beautiful development of the hills surrounding that city into resident sections On his return he ap- piled the landscape effects to q property he acquired. The result one may see by a drive along Altamont road The driveway Is beautiful the lots along 1t are practically alk sold. So it is with the noted Highland Avenue. There is only one Highland avenue. There Is only one Altamont road. North, south east or west there are no other streets like them. The Birmingham Realty company is spending some S500000 in the development of a residential section beyond Norwood. IL has wide streets and beautiful parks everything is being done in the way of landscape improvement to attract the per sol of taste. The money came from New York Al the present time the prospective residents are not here. but the New York CTS believe $5oDo0o strong that thy will be here in the near future.

 The Chicago packers, who have been made 10 unlock the secrets of their busi- ness hearts, might well envy the Br- mingham Packing company it's plant on Twenty-fourth street in North Birming ham and regret that they too do not pay their poll tax in this city. Missouri, Tennessee and Alabama are the happy hunting grounds for cattle and hogs going into the slaughter pens at this local in- dustry. which is the only one of the district, and while the operations are not so extensive the payroll, including about 50 men. it can compare fayorably with any in the whole country. A splendid cold storage plant and fertilizer ina- chinery have been installed and Birming- ham patronage is going to the BrminG- ham Packing company because 'hansas city steaks can be bought here just as well as in that municipality and the farmer will have to hustle to make any "country pork sausage than choppers turn out at this Birmingham plant.

That American Gun Habit

From the Detroit Free Press. /
 Over in Germany the other day an American who had acquired the gun tot- ing habit became dissatisfied with the manner in which he was being treated in certain hotel and fired a shot at the porter We are informed by the cable that the porter at once ran into the street and summoned the police. the result being that the American was besieged in his room There he continued to shoot, but eventually he was captured, so badly wounded that his recovery was considered doubtful. The remarkable thing about the affair was that the police were able to fill the beligerent American with bull lets without woundng anybody else. We have recently been sending delegates to Germany to study German industrial methods Why not send some of our po- lice officials to the fatherland for the pur- pose of finding out how to deal with peo- pie who carry guns?
