AS soon as the hostess had gone
Warmer began to walk idly up and
down the room. He came so near the
screen that the girl behind the en-
broidered panels could have reached
out her hand and touched him. Then
he moved to the window on the other
side and opened the glass to look out.
Evidently forgetful of the unsecured
widow sash, he suddenly Owed into
the hall to meet his cousin, and to-
{ gether they mounted the stairs.
Zulma Trent breathed freely again.
Her quickened wits, which had been
alert to every sound, directed her to
the open window nearby. A little
push on the sash and she was out on
the veranda, with the easement closed
behind her. A light spring over the
low railing, and she was before the

and tried to compose her mind. She
was clearly conscious of only this
much-Cliff Warmer had defended
her; he had really loved her; he loved
her yet; he was going away to the
other side of the world-perhaps for
ever. Suddenly, with all the love and
longing of woman's awakened heart
Lulma Trent bowed her head on her

Making the Waste Places Productive.
The following is taken from the cur
rent issue OF Farm and Fireside:
The State of Washington will be
asked, at the coming session of the
legislature, to devise plan for aiding
settlers in clearing logged-off lands.
It is planned to present a bill, formu-
lated by the city commercial clubs,
providing for the creation OF a logged
on land fund to be used in clearing
Lands tor home builders and for loan
ing to those desiring to clear their
own lands.
There are approximately 100000
acres of logged-off lands in twenty
counties, that might be cleared. The
lands were formerly covered with big
groves OF timber. When that was cut,
the refuse caught fire, and the country
was generally burned over. At pres
ent there are thousands of acres pos.
sessing no intrinsic value and assessed
at rs to 81 an acre for tax purposes.
Inc ordinary homeseeker cannot clear
the lands without the aid of capital or
outside assistance.
"A preliminary campaign Of investi..
CATION. conducted by the state and
general government. has brought out
various methods of clearing the lands,
but no scheme has yet been put into
motion for the furnishing the farmer
with money to buy his powder, pay
tor hired help. support his family and
educate his children while clearing his
lands and getting them in condition
tor growing successful crops. The
cost OF clearing ranges from SIS to
$500 per acre."

Coal Trade and Cars

There is a good demand for Ala
bama coal but just now there is great
complaint of car shortage. Some of
the large operators complain that
they have been able to ship little or
no coal this week because railroads
have not furnished them with cars.
One line, however, is especially
commended for its coal car service
the Frisco. In this connection the
American Railway associations circu-
lar letter on the subject of car eff
ficiency is of interest. According to a
circular issued last April there has
been large increase in car efficiency
as compared with previous years. The
railways, as rule, seek the co-opera-
ton of their patrons to bring about
car efficiency, for, it as pointed out,
~an increase in efficiency, should the
traffic be unusually heavy, the farther

local commercial organizations; also
that local and travelling freight agents

BILL MURRAY's REVENGE

From the popular Magazine.
Bill Murray who moves the fast trains
for the Union Pacific, sent a request to
a theatre in Omaha one evening for two
seats for the performance of 1.-THE Vir-
ginian.' Ed Kelley, the business mana
ger OF the show, refused the seats and
made this remark:
why should railroad man be given
free seats to j shown
Three years later Kelly found himself in
a miserable tank" town about 100 miles
out of Omaha, and he was confronted by
the fact that the only train he could take
within the next "a hours was the Over
land Limited, which did not stop there.
He finally persuaded the station agent to
wire Bill Murray to stop the Overland for
him. In short while the agent, aghast
and thunderstruck. staggered up to Kel-
ley and explained that Murray had or
dered the Overland to stop at that town,
and to take on no passengers except Mr..
Kelley. '
The next morning Kelley went to Muir
days office and began to thank him for
his great kindness.
''Who are your asked Murray.
I'm Kelley. You stopped the Overland
in that tank town for me last evening"
"well, Kelley" said Murray vindicitve-
ly, three years ago sent to you for two
seats for performance of your show.
You remarked that you couldn't see why
any railroad man should be given seats

Optimism, Is the RuIe

Last spring many business men in the
east talked gloomily about business con-
ditions, but now optimism is the rule in
New York city and the sentiment in
New York is the sentiment in other east
ern centers." said p. M. Chafin Of Buf-

Although the corn crop has been in

enormous, and the crops taken altogether
will bring as much if not more money this
year than in any previous year
THE scare over the democratic tariff
revision was exaggerated. Now that the
tariff bill has been passed. manufacture
ers and jobbers breathe freer, and the
business outlook is exceptionally bright.
There will be a very active fall trade.

ticket, but wills NOT be surprised If the

people. If it turns out to be s9 the

The Get-TOgether Spirit

The get-together spirit is being
developed in Birmingham in strong
and lasting way and this fact will be
evidenced by the vote polled next
Monday in favor Of the proposed audi
torium bond issue.
The time was when Birmingham
was devoid of public spirit. In the
early days all interest in the Bir-
mingham district was centered in coal
and iron. Mercantile trade in the city
was mere incident. But as Birming-
ham grew and took its place with the
large and progressive cities of the
south the upbuilders here began to
talk public spirit and public spirit
gradually developed. When Greater
Birmingham was created~with popu-
lation of upwards of 100000 civic
ambition naturally manifested itself
and now that Birmingham has a
population of nearly 100000 the get
together impulse is more responsive
and insistent than ever.
Birmingham's handsome Chamber
of Commerce building is the result of
the get-together spirit. The magnifi-
cent Tutwiler hotel, which, when COM
pleted and furnished, will represent
an investment of fully $1,500,000, is
the result of the get-together spirit.
Many other things that have made
for Birmingham's progress have been
the result of the get-together spirit.
This get-together spirit will, it is
believed, bring out full vote next
Monday and give us the much needed
auditorium.

THE PASSING HORSE

From the New Telegraph
The fact that the New York postoffiee
department has just installed 100 new au-
tomobile trucks to collect and transfer
mail in that part of the city lying below
Forty street and intends to extend
this up to date service in the near future
to other sections of the metropolis where
business centers, is but another straw in
dicating that the faithful horse is slowly
but surely being crowded from the city S
streets as "a beast of burden. From the
standpoint of the humanitarian this will
be a good thing for there is no argument
but that the horse has been abused. Aside
from this, however, the business man has
come to realize that one automobile truck
can do twice the work of a team OF horses,
is affected but little by weather changes
and reduces the cost of hauling upkeep
tc comparatively small figure. few
years more and horse attached to de-
livery wagon will be a novelty in most big
cities.

Underwood's Eminent Standing

Whether Oscar w. Underwood de-
cides to be a candidate for the United
States Senate or not he will remain
for some time the most commanding
figure in the democratic party next to
the President himself. Leading news
papers in all parts of the country are
giving him full credit for the new tar
iff bill and proclaiming his distinction
as a democratic statesman
Mr.. Underwood is one of the few
forceful men in politics who has no
personal enemies and against whom
no one, even in the heat of political
debate, ever speaks harshly. From the
day he became chairman of the ways
and means committee he has ranked
as a national celebrity. His mastery
of economic questions and his splen-
did leadership has aroused enthusi-
asm among democrats from the At
lantic to the Pacific and now that his
tariff revision work is practically ac-
complished plaudits at the mention of
his name are again spontaneous. The
fact is that Underwood is more
strongly in the public view than ever.
Not only is Alabama proud of Os-
car Underwood but it is a matter of
pride to hear the democracy of the
whole country shouting his praise.

Alabama's Agricultural Resources

In natural resources-mineral and
ricultural-Alabama is the richest
state in the south and one of the
richest in the whole country. But it
is only in comparatively recent times
that coal and ore lands have been de-
veloped and while this has always
been a prominent cotton state it is
only in very recent years that its ag-
ricultural resources have been devel-
oped on large and modern lines.
More cotton is being raised to the
acre than was the case a few years
ago The states corn production has
doubled in the last four or five years.
The alfalfa crop is increasing every
year and it will not be long before
alfalfa is one of Alabama's big money
crops. Soil and climate conduce to
large harvests in this state and now
since our farmers are paying more
and more attention to agricultural
chemistry and business-like methods
rapid progress is sure to be in evil
dence.
Alabama crops now bring about
$500, 100000. At the rate agriculture
is advancing it will not be long before
the states crops bring $400,0O0,000
to 100000. 1t can be done.
