GIBSON DINNER IS TREAT TO NEWSBOYS

Yesterday war was declared on turkey by the newsboys, for yesterday was the day for the third annual White Gibson barbecue, which was held at MT. Gibson's home on Shades mountain. most de- iightful war it was, turkey being forced to lower her colors and retire in a very short time, for she was not able to stand the combined attack of s5 newsboys.
 The day as a whole was a most enjoy able one. The boys met at the Boys club at a. m. and walked to the Edgewood car line, where they caught the car and rode to Edgewood They then formed into companies under the leadership of Burr Blackburn, Walter Murdoch Doug las stockham. Hofford Todd, Forsythe Gordy, Taylor Glass and Jim Childers. A burlesque chase after bandits along Shades creek was a feature of the trip.
 Arriving at the Gibson home after some very interesting races. the boys heard the call that warns the heart, Come to din- her." They were soon lined up around two large tables making fast inroads on the bountiful feast that had been pro- vided. In the midst of this most enjoy able pastime the Boys assumed some very characteristic poses to have their pictures taken.
 After dinner an excellent fox chase was run and after long bowling chase the foxes returned in safety. The dogs com plained that turkey had allied with the foxes and served to hold them back a great deal. After the return to MT. Gib- sons house the boys inspeced tho grounds and gathered a good many nuts.
 About 2 o'clock all left for town. AL though the boys had already had full day and had good reason to be weary, the homeward journey was made interesting by a contest in naming trees. Rabbit to- bacco and golden rod were named and a small sapling was called weeping willow by one who knew. At the car line the boys gave a demonstration of their skill in ''chunking'' stones. some winning high honors for themselves.
 They had big day of 1t.

BUSINESS BETTER SAYS C|GARMAKER A. l.. Cuesta of Cuesta, Key & Go. Is Guest of R. D.
 Burnett

A L. Cuesta. head of the cigar firm of Cuesta Key & Co. was here yester- day visiting R. D. Burnett MT. Cuesta returned to Tampa, where he resides, yesterday afternoon. While here he vas introduced to Oscar w Under wood. and to the son of MT. Under wood. MT. Cuesta paid a very high tri- bute to the chairman of the ways and means committee.
 "When people say MT. Underwood and the members of the ways and means committee do not know their business, they are sadly mistaken said Mir. Cuesta. "I headed a delegation that appeared before that committee when the tariff was being revised and I want to say that the chairman, MT. Under wood and his associates knew more about the situation than we did or many others did. The tariff revision think has been handled very fair Iy and to the advantage of this coun- try. I admire MT. Underwood as much if not more than l do any other man in American public life.
 Seeking of business, I am strongly of the opinion that the situation is cl airing up rapidly. The exports are getting more normal and the general domestic situation is steadier I am convinced that America will profit hugely by the war in Europe. l can rot see anything except light ahead. When this country is asked to furnish practically all of the world with sup plies and necessities, I think that we are very pessmistic if we do not form the conclusion that America will ben eft thereby.
 Birmingham, I am pleased to ob- serve, is growing steadily and rapidly. This is most wonderful place and am extremely glad to be here for even this short stay. The south is coming into its own right along and it will rot be great while until We will find ourselves in a most commanding po- sition in the eyes of the world. MT Cuesta was entertained yester- day at luncheon by Mir. and Mrs. Bur- nett and left yesterday afternoon for home.

 Tt was a great game said MT. Cray Tt was perfectly splendid. The crowd was enormous and the sport and spirit of the occasion incornparable. I enjoyed it very much. I went over to New York for daySor so. Conditions are brighten ing very rapidly. Finances are getting easier and the men who control money are listening to reason. The incoming or ders from Europe have stimulating ef- feet. I believe there will be rapid read justment of the situation and that we will have most prosperous year"

MORE DATA ON
 CITY'S BIG AREA

The city commission yesterday made public additional comparative data to prove its point that Birmingham, with vast area and less than 2o0,0o0 people, was handicaped to lamentable extent with a tax rate of mill on the dollar.
 As was published in The Age-Herald Tuesday, the commission contends that population produces municipal wealth. while area causes it's expenditure Fig ures have already been published by the commission showing that whereas Bir- mingham ranks 13 among 26 important cities in the matter of square miles, in revenue collected per square mile, it's rank was last.
 Birminghams predicament was set forth yesterday by the following table, which shows both population and area:

 T am very much pleased that Hot Springs has undertaken at least one more Arkansas state fair" said Sen. ator Wasson. There is no doubt but that this is a great institution for Arkansas, and there is neither any donht but that the people of the state, either through their representatives in the general assembly or through private action. should support this in siliution along with other state insti- tutions. We were disappointed that We did not get an appropriation last year to help pay at least the prem iums won for Arkansas products.
 Senator Wasson added that he want ed to work in close connection with the people of Hot Springs in the gen eral assembly and to be of benefit to our people in securing such legis. lation as would help the upbuildng of the city. T would like to talk over many things with your people" said Senator Wasson, and will have time to do this later, and be. fore the next general assembly
 MT Wasson reported that there was much interest taken in the political situation in Montgomery county this l year and that most likely the vote | would be very representative He 1 did not discuss the individual caldi- 1 daeies of the men asking for demo- | cratic nomination other than to say all had been pretty well over the field | in his county and that the vote would be large.
