TO HARVEST CROP

order that the crops can be properly
handled, no time should be lost in
doing so. Employment agencies
should be notified If there is a short.
age of hands, and have the necessary
help supplied.
Another important matter which
should be called to the attention Of
the farmers of this section" said Mr..
Hayball, is the fact that they should
be careful with their hard, earned
money and invest same in legitimate
propositions at home and noe to tri-
file with wildcat schemes which are
sure to be presented to the people
when the crops begin to move.

INTERNAL REVENUE
RECEIPTS INCREASE
$136,329.01 Received From
Breweries and Distilleries
in Nine Months

The internal revenue receipts for the
district composed of Alabama and Mis-
sissippi from beer and whisky stamps and
licenses was nearly tripled in the first
nine months of the present fiscal year
over the same nine months in the preced-
ing fiscal year.
According to figures given out yesterday
by Internal Revenue Collector s. L.
Wright, the revenue from beer and whis-
ky stamps in the Alabama Mississippi dis
trict from July, 1911, to March 81, 1872,
was $52,037.46; while for the same nine
months of this present fiscal year, from
July, 1912, to March 81, 1918, 1t was 1885,
32e.01.
The increase has been gradual but
steady, according to statistics on file In
Mr.. Wright's office, each month of the
present year showing a steady increase.
Indications are that by.the time the re-
naming three months of the year are
added that a still better showing will be
made Various reasons are advanced for
this tremendous increase in one item of
revenue for the federal government in this
district, but the most commonly accepted
is the return of Alabama to the local OPP
ton ranks The figures Just given repre-
sent the revenue secured from legally au-
thorized and legitimate breweries and dis
tilleries operating in the district.

WILL NOT STUDY
RURAL CREDITS IN EUROPE

Governor O'Nea1 was notified on yes
terday by Col. n. F. Thompson, pres
ident of the Alabama State Land CON
gress, that 1t would be impossible for
him to accept the appointment rendered
to represent Alabama on the American
commission that sails from New York
on April IS to study rural credits in
European countries.
In his letter declining the appoint
ment. Colonel Thompson stated that
the Alabama State Land congress at
this time was demanding all of his
time and energies, the organization
still being in more or less of forma-
tive stage. 1t was the intention of the
organizers of the congress to have the
next annual meeting of such magni-
tude as would bring the entire state
into cooperation with its plans and
purposes as well as focusing the atten-
ton of the entire country on Alabama
If he should accept the honor rendered
him by the governor. Colonel Thomp-
son said, he naturally would have to
neglect the big work of the congress.
Colonel Thompson further advised
Governor o'Neal that the Alabama
State Land congress had pledged itself
to work for rural credits for this state,

ON WEST END LOOP
Commission Meets Today
Only to Adjourn for
Ball Game

The commission will meet this after
noon, only to adjourn for the opening
baseball game of the season. The off
cials Yesterday declared that the post
ponement of the opening, although to a
regular meeting day, would not cause any
change in their programme to participate
In the opening exercises,
The commission will meet to adjourn
until Saturday morning and will transact
some few matters of minor Importance
at the postponed meeting. The only mat
ter of general interest that was to be
considered was the application of West
End citizens for change of decision as
to the West End loop to be constructed
by the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company. The citizens Interested
requested a postponement of that mat
ter so the commissioners felt that no
public business would suffer by the i'm
mediate adjournment for the ball game.
The request for postponement of the
West End matter was contained in a
communication that President Culpepper
Exum made public yesterday as follows !:
Birmingham, April TO- 1913
Hon Cupepper Exum, Chairman Board
of Commissioners, City of Birmingham:

Colonel Thompson met with the di-
rectors of the Business. Mems league
of Montgomery last night, at their re-
quest, to go over with them the mat

RED MEN WILL Be IN
POTLATCH PARADES
Many Local Members of the
Order to Appear
TO BE OVER 200 FLOATS
Industrial School Band Secured and
Negotiations Are Under Way for
Other Musical Organizations.
Plans for Parades
TO BE OVER 200 FLOATS

The potlatch festival parades April "a
and % will be literally alive with yelling.
dancing, bowling Indians.
After securing a special dispensation
from Frank Andres. Great Sachem of the
state of Alabama for the Improved Or
der of Red Men, announcement was made
yesterday that 10 of the local members of
the order would ride on the floats OF
the parades in full Indian uniform. 1t
Is against the rules of the order to appear
in public in this uniform and for this
reason the special dispensation had to be
secured from the great sachem of the
state The matter was maneuvered by
DR.. H. A. Elkourie, county chairman
of the Red Men and potlatch enthusi-
asst.
Dr. Elkourie has named L. K. Sherry
and Sidney Wachtel as committee, with
Mr.. Andres as chairman, to have charge
of the arrangements for this new feature
of the two mammoth street parades dur
ing the potlatch festival. 1t is now indi-
Gated that the two parades Id all prob
ability will be two or three miles in
length.
Immense bill posters have been plas-
tered on the bill boards of Birmingham
and all over the entire state within the
last two days. advertising the potlatch
in attractive ways. The bills are very
large and attract attention from a great
distance. 1t is believed their pulling
power in regard to bringing crowds to
the potlatch celebration will prove very
valuable to the success of the event.
The musical phase of the potlatch fes-
tival parades are now being worked out
by Chairman ]. E. Shelby of the day
parade committee He stated yesterday
that the Boys Industrial school band
had been secured and that negotiations
were now under way with one or two
other musical organizations for their
services. Besides the band from the In
dustrial school there will be some 200
boys of the institution marching in the
parade
General Chairman Oscar Turner OF the
Chamber of Commerce potlatch commit
tee said yesterday there would probably
be over 200 floats in the parades, one
of which is to be held on the first night
of the potlatch celebration and the other,
called the Birmingham on Wheels pa
rade," to be held on the afternoon Of
the second and last day of the festival.
This day parade will form on Avenue f
on the southside and will march up town.
coming In South Twentieth street. The
fun route of the parades and the prizes
to be awarded will be announced in
Sunday mornings Age-Herald. 1t was
stated yesterday. however, that the prizes
would be probably a silver cup or some
such gift rather than certain amount
of money.

all persons having automobiles which
they wish to enter in the parades, should
at once get in touch with either Mr.. Shell
