From no less an authority than the
commissioner of agriculture of Alabama is
the statement made that this state is
sending elsewhere for foodstuff, farm an
mals and forage. sum that approxf-
mates $500, 100000 annually" said a business
man.
when it is known that all the agri-
cultural, mineral and timber resources of
the state do not reach this sum it will
be more apparent why Alabama is at the
bottom of the list in its land values and
agricultural advancement.
Alabama has 2o.0OO0OO acres of farm
lands, only fraction of which are under
cultivation, and the average price of these
lands is the lowest of any state in the
union. 1t is these facts that has brought
the Alabama Land congress into exis-
tence that this state of affairs may be
corrected and Alabama placed where she
can justly claim and receive her share of
agricultural development.
while this organization is for the en-
tire state 1t mas special value to Bir-
mingham, and it is eminently proper that
Birmingham should give il all the aid and
encouragement that it can This city is
a consuming center, and it is to the inter-
est of all classes here that living condi-
tions should be on as economical a base
as possible. If workingmen find that it
takes all their wages for food and raj
ment they will be discontented and unsat-
isfied, and general prosperity of the city
and district will be to that extent in
jeopardy.
Alabama can unquestionably raise
everything that is needed for feeding and
clothing her citizens, and it is to bring
this about that the land congress is di-
rectlng it's efforts. 1t will be seen. there
fore, that the movement is one of great
value to Alabama and to Birmingham.
with such cooperation as ii should re-
ceive from the newspapers of the state
and leading citizens a great work can be
accomplished, and it is certainly worth
the effort

WOMEN ON AND OFF THE RAMPAGE

those fields men outcass them They
might be presidents of railroads and
banks and heads of counting rooms and
great industrial enterprises. There is no
law to hinder. Many women. as it is,
are active as managers in various lines
of trade; but they are exceptional women.
The more valuable women do not turn to
these employments except under compul-
sion, as they push themselves or by mis-
chance are pushed out of domestic life.
DO we want, says Martin. to cultivate
that eompulsion or. if possible to lessen
it? DO we want women to shoulder an in
creased share of the hard manual labor
of the world? DO we want them to do
an increased share of the raclxing mental
wage-earning work. like managing rail-
roads, that is now done by men? Is not
all this implied by the demand of the
erazyjanes for equal opportunity in
every field of human effort"
If women with unimpaired power to do
the things that women alone can do, could
compete successfully with men in the
rest of the empoyments. they would be
far superior creatures to men. AS it is
they are only superior to men in goodness
and purity. They are superior to men in
those qualities which make for religion,
which make for home which make for the
rearing of children. That is at once the
glory and the business of their place in
the world-a place the crazyjanes would
abolish.
1t is truly delightful to see women free
and happy and at ease in their world and
companionable with their men. That's
the way it's going to be, the crazyjanes
tell us, after women get the vote Poor
silies, Nothing could make them happy.
They were horn TO discomfort The sue
cessful and happy women are nowhere
waiting for vote. They are going ahead

ture They are home makers. One sees
them everywhere, in good clothes, in bad
clothes. clean and not so clean, rich, well
to do. poor and sometimes very poor; but
love in their hearts, peace in their faces.

destitute of ehivalry. They refuse to ar

She strayed along the roaring street
Between the changing. clashing ears,
The fiaring stores and brawling bars,
On tiny black silk slppered feet
Her face. a smooth and yellow pearl,
Seemed blank to either joy or fear,
A waXen rose above each ear
She wore-this slender Chinese girl.
OF rosy silk her trousers were.
Edged with a tinsel silver braid.
Each button was of carven jade
A jade comb held her polished hair

CHINA GIVEN ESPECIAL CARE
Simple Reason Why the Modern Ar.
tlcle Does Not Last as Long as
In the OIden Days.


An idea is prevalent that modern
china is not as durable as the china
OF our grandmothers day. This con-
clusion is drawn by a comparison Of
the fine old pieces whose color and
gold is still perfect, with the compar-
alive short life of modern sets. But
in arriving at the conclusion, we ought
also to consider the difference in the
care given by our grandmothers and
that of the modern housewife. No
careless servant was ever entrusted
with that precious old china; no
strong cleansers were allowed to tar
nish its gold; and every slender han
die was looked upon with especial
reverence. washing the china" was
sort of household rite, very differ
ent from the ordinary washing Of
dishes. One dear, stately old grand
mother of the old school with many
servants at her command, never al
lowed her finest china to leave the
dining-room. After it had been used.
she cheerfully tied on big apron,
had water, cloth and the towels
brought in, and 1t was indeed a priv
ilege to watch her graceful white
hands at their task of washing the
cups as she invariably expressed It.
