 He had read much about the Indian Runners and had much admired the fine birds shown at the Alabama State fair last fall by Mrs. Benners, so following out his inclination he cut loose and bought a pen Of White Indian Runner ducks with an ancient and honorable lineage.
 They arrived in time for the poultry show in December. and much 10 the grat- ifcation of Judge Douglas. he received the first prize for the drake and a first and fourth for the ducks.

The captain had noticed from time to time at points where the ship stopped to discharge her cargo a peculiar but par ticularly graceful duck. It was unlike any he had ever seen. It was not a wild fowl, but was one of the domestica ted breeds of poultry raised by the natives of India.
 The sailor purchased number of the ducks and carried them to his native land and presented them to friends living in Cumberland county, in the north of Eng land. The Orientals thrived and grew apace in their new surroundings and rap idly grew in favor. They were erect in form and swift on foot. hence the name Indian Runners
 Originally the plumage color was dark, pencilled fawn and white, such as the English standard calls for. The pure white Indian Runner is an American pro- duction, made by taking the highest plum aged birds and mating them separately from year to year.
 At the present time. just as all fancy breeds have improved on the original stock, the white Runner seems to have outclassed it's parent variety in matter of egg prod and other qualities. They are much prettier than the colored va riety. for nothing can be prettler than

 derfu, and as table fowl their plump, we'll meated fine favored carcasses are the delight of the epicure.
 They require no water except for drink ing and have much intelligence, are easily handled and well know their feeding hour. A large hotel in an eastern city has a flock of them on it's roof to furnish eggs and fowl for the table.
 There is no other fowl that has created so much interest among the poultry fan ciers as the Indian Runner duck.
 The admirers of the Runner are found everywhere. for they can be as success fully raised on city lot as suburban acre They have the double advantage of being excellent table fowl as well as being wonderful egg producers. They commence to lay ai an early age and many remarkable and well authenticated records of their laying abilities have been published It is claimed that If properly cared for they will produce from 250 to 29o eggs in a single year.
 s. H. Scott of Auckland, New Zealand, in published statement gives the infor- nation that one of his fawn co'ored ln- dian Runner ducks produced in her sec ond laying year 320 large eggs In 3G5 days and the final total of 512 eggs in 23 months. including two moults.
 Mir. Scott named the prolific 'duch Wonder" and states that her proseny's s records even unto the thiru and fourth generation are jus; as remarkable. Her great granddaughter reached the zoo mark in her second year
 Such are few of the qualities of the Indian Runner. It has many more. The poultry fancicr is we'll known for his or her intense interest in whatever breed of fowls Snay have taken their fancy, but there are few breeds of poultry that have created greater sensation in recent years than the Indo- English-Amerlcan White Indian Runner duck
 One of the most enthusiastic admirers of the White Indian duck is. Judge Alvin M. Douglas of Birmingham.
 He Is a late convert to the duck cul- ture, and from being convert he has almost become a crank. When the judge tires of pursuing the pcnuerous and dry

 There are several reasons why plant CTS in the uninfested territory should not yield to the temptation to import seed rom the infested area. First, 1t has been definitely established that there is a very real danger of starting colonies of weev- ills ahead of tho general line of infestation by such movements of seed for planting purposes. No man can afford to run the risk of thus aiding tho weevil in reaching his place. No one should countenance the buying of such seed by his neighbors.
 Second, the Alabama boil weevil quar- sntlne regulations prohibit such move- ments of seed for the safeguarding of the cotton planter in the uninfested area. Vio- lation of this regulation would render the guilty party liable 10 fine of from SlOO to $500. Transportation agents should not accept such shipments. If they do they render themselves liable to the above mentioned fine.
 If it is desired to import improved seed from weevil infested territory the matter should be taken up first with the state entomologist and action taken following his advice. Very truly yours,
 w. E. IiINDS, State Entomologist.

INFESTED SEED MAY
 PROVE REAL DANGER
State EntOmOlogist Warns Cotton Planters Against
 Importation of Weevil
ro inc Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 It occurs to me that 1t would be desir- able for you to publish a brief warning as to the danger involved in shipments of cotton seed for planting from weevil in- Tested into unlnfested territory. Please make such use as you may deem best of the paragraph following
 Owing to the work of the boil weevil the demand is rapidly increasing for improved varieties of cotton, especially those hav- ing the quality of early or rapid ma- turity. The effect of the weevil has been such that more attention has been paid to the breeding of cotton for weevil resist ance within the infested area than without 1t. For this reason there Is a consid- erable pressure from points outside of the quarantine line for strains of seed which are for sale at points within the infested area. The demand for good seed this year

The bill and legs are a deep orange yellow, with an occasional green spot. Heads small and fiat, the neck long and slender, which adds to the sprightly appearance of the birds. The body is long, narrow and racy looking and carried almost erect, giving the bird a wonderfully alert appearance.

COMMISSION WORKS ON WATER PROBLEM May Ask Company to Fix
 Price on Property MAY BE LIVE ISSUE All Three Commissioners Are Deeply Interested in Question of Get
 ting the Water Ques-
 ton Settled

It is generally believed to be the inten- ton of the city commission to acquire the plant of the Birmingham Waterworks company, or to construct and operate a new plant of it's own design.
 Neither of the commissioners has au- thorized a statement to this effect. al though 1t is definitely known that each favors municipal ownership of water works under certain forms and conditions
 Judge Lane has no hestaney in stat ing his position "If the price can be agreed upon" stated he, '1 would be wiling to buy the plant of the company I believe that we could furnish water 10 the people of Birmingham much cheaper than it is furnished at the present time. i Commissioner Weatherly states that he Is interested in the proposition. and that for many reasons he believes 1t to be the wisest course to construct a new plant Commissioner Exum says very little in this regard. but 1t is Known that he Is deeply interested in the problem of ob- taining water just as cheapy as possible.
 The friendly relationship between inc present company and the city has. as a rule, been marred by litigation. At the present time the city is making an ef- fort to rearrange the schedule of rates 1t being the contention of the municipality that the present rates are exorbitant A resolution rearranging these rates will be introduced next Tuesday at the regular meeting of the commission. It is gener- ally believed that this action on the part of the city will be resisted in the courts by the company.
 The collection of the license tax levied against the con. .5aDy by the city is being resisted at the present time. and 1t is certainty that thi< resistance will lead to legal controversy. Co constant has been these differences of opinion that the idea of municipal ownership of the plant. which obtained some years ago, is again a live issue in city circles. It would cause little surprise to many who have heard gossip to this effect if President Linn is requested within the next rew weeks to put ;l price on his property.
 The intimation is given that the city. in case it acquires the plant of the company or constructs one of its own, will put into effect rates just high enough to protect the municipality again st loss.
 It is also intimated that progress to- ward municipal ownership will be accom- plished by gradual steps. and that first of all, the present disagreements will have to be settled,
