CORN BULLETINS
co SECOND CLASS
Postal Authorities Decide in
Favor of Department
of Agriculture

Montgomery, February 2.-(Special)-
The United States postoffice department
has decided that the state department of
agriculture and industries may send its
corn bulletins through the mails as sec
ond class matter on the pound basis.
Permission was granted by the postal
authorities at Washington following the
refusal of Postmaster j.. p. Dimmiel<, at
Montgomery, to allow the agricultural de-
pattment to send its corn bulletins
through the mail as second class matter
because of the fact that the bulletin con-
tains the ann ouncement that fertilizer
firm in the city will award prizes in the
annual corn contest inaugurated by the
state department
Other dealers protested against allow
ing the bulletins to go as second class
matter ON the ground that the bulletin
contained an advertisement, and Post
master Dimmicls decided against the ag-
ricultural department. making the de-
rartment use a cents stamp on every
bulletin mailed out from the office
A complaint was registered with the
postal authorities at Washington by the
department, with the result that the fed
eral officials held that the state was not
violating the law by sending those partic-
ular bulletins are second class matter

Washington, February 2t-Despite the
fact that the weather bureau has prom

prepared for a repetition of the blizzard
that marred the Inauguration four yeara
ago. a large force of men has been
thoroughly organized.
Beside 300 men regularly employed an
additional 800 men will be available should
conditions make 1t necessary to keep the
line of march free from snow.
These men will be held in readiness
on the morning of the parade. Thes
will be massed near the beginning of the
line of march and il necessary precede
the marchers and sweep the snow to-
ward the side of the streets at the same
time brushing the cleared space as dry
as possible. The line of march this year
is nearly two miles long and the entire
distance will be watched and kept clean
and free from all distractions.

At the Birmingham Athletic club the
other day several members seated in the
spacious lobby were talking on general
topics. They discussed current events
from the Mexican war to the smoke ordi-
naEce, until the conversation drifted to
contagious and infectious diseases. From
one of crowd it was learned that some
time ago Birmingham had entertained q

HAS NOT AS YET
CHOSEN CABINET
President-Elect Wilson Still
Unable to Name New
Portfolios

Trenton, \. J., February 24-With his
Inauguration only a week off President
elect Wilson has not yet been able to
make a final choice as to the personnel Of
his cabinet. The lines are admitted to pc
drawn closer and the field is narrowing,
but the status of the slate today showed
incompletion in some of the most I'M
portant posts. Through the governors S
most intimate friends. il is believed that
William J. Bryan will certainly become
Secretary of State. 1t is known that Mr.
Bryan and Mr.. Wilson are in frequent
communication. No definite announce
nients concerning the cabinet have come
from Mr.. Wilson, and none will be made
until the entire cabinet is selected. One
OF the reasons for the President ELECT s
reticence, it has been explained. is that
some men might find it difficult to accept
and this might neeessitate recastlng the
slate.

occasions of this nature the big leagures

are constantly subjected to lodging wild

the big show fellows race the fire of the
ambitious college artist.
Managers sit on the bench nervous in
tension, While they watch heads upon
which may hang the destiny of a major
league pennant subjected to a veritable
bonibardment from the hurler, generally
possessed of little ability and less control,
in a vain effort to impress his worth upon
th9 great men OF the game. 1t is truly
an experience for both aggregations Aft
terward the leaguers look back upon the
experience with the pleasure which comes
from a successful issue of a foolhardy un-
dertaking, while the college boys preserve

hand down to posterity.
Only 33 more days remain before the
crack of the bat will resound in the first
Southern league game of the season in
Birmingham. On April 10 the Barons and

$4,000, 900 Bridge Across Potomac

Senator Swanson of Virginia succeeded
in getting an amendment to the bill pro-
viding for a memorial bridge across the
Potomac to cost S., 600 900, besides a few
other very necessary items for his state.
Many members of the House fatty de-
clare that they will never accept the bill
as proposed by the Senate, and 1t Is freely
predicted that should the bill by any
chance get through the House and Senate,
or account of the manner in which almost
every powerful leader has been provided
fer, the President win veto it the moment
1t reaches him.
1t is virtually conceded that the hun
ger'' of the Senate has ended all hope
of public buildings and grounds bill for
the present session. 1t Is not at all like
II, therefore, that such a bill would be
cor sidered in the extra session, and in
this event it would be the long session
beginning next December before a bill
could be passed In the meantime Bir-
ningham, certainly one of the places
where a postoffice building adequate for
the public service is badly needed will
have to wait and get along the best she
can under present conditions.
OF course the predictions that the bill
will fail may not come true. and it may
pass. but there Is certainly formidable op-
position to the additions made by the
Senate, and IL that body stands firm ii
will make the passage Of the bill doubt
full.
