CANAL CLUB MUCH INTERESTED IN STATE
Committee Much Impressed With What Was Seen.
 Settlement Activities

The recent visit to Alabama of the spe- cial committee from the Panama Colony club, it seems, Is destined to bear fruit. It was announced at that time by the southern settlement and development or ganization, under whose auspices and di- rect aid that club had been formed, that there were a great many American en- ployes who would soon return to this country on the completion of the canal and such as had saved up their wages had been selected who were able and willing to purchase homes on the farm lands in the southern states. prelimi- nary committee from that club was in Alabama about 10 days ago and 1t is re- ported from the headquarters of the Ala bama department of the southern settle ment and development organization, that that committee was most favcrably inn pressed with Alabama and hat this state is being seriously considered for the loca- ton of their colony.
 But this is only preliminary to other colonies that are being formed by the southern settlement and development or ganization for location in this and other states of the south and Alabama has a show to secure liberal share of these. It has been announced that the Alabama department is desirous of publishing the proceedings of the Alabama Land con- gress which was held in this city last November, as every phase of soil and crop conditions existing in this state was pre- sented before that congress, and that by those who were doing the the things they t,1I rn1 ,l,A fhaf r1n nf hnr nr compendium of the resources of Ala bama could be gotten out than would be contained in those proceedings. These could be used as Alabama advertising matter at the San Francisco-Panama ex- position. It has been suggested that the Alabama department of the southern set clement and development organization CO., operate in the movement for an Alabama building and exhibit at San Francisco, as that body is working directly along the lines of building up Alabama and good work to that end could be done there

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, May 30.-Cotton goods mar kets have broadened during the week and
 prices are higher and firmer. Sales of
 print cloths were not so active as week
 ago, but there has been more business
 done in cloths for converting. Jobbers
 have been buying domestics, both brown
 and colored, and there has been some
 increase in the business offered on fine combed yarn cloths.
 Higher cotton has stimulated purchases to some extent, but the needs for goods are more pressing and the starving pro- cess in stock rooms seems to have ended | for a time at least. Reductions were made quietly two or three weeks ago to induce the placing of orders and these
 have been restored. The advances that are being announced are advances from | the concessions and not above the higher | prices of the year.
 ] The mills are complaining that the ad- vances offer them no profit on cotton at present prices, but they have some cheaper cotton in hand and they are hop | ing for some recession as the end of the crop year draws nearer. Buyers of den- inns, tickings, cheviots and some other specialties in colored cloths have pur- chased for delivery through the summer months
 Jobbers and retailers have been greatly aided in the distribution of wash goods and white goods by the warm weather Cloth prices are as follows: Print cloths, 2s-inch, 64x64s. 37sc nominal; 64x60s, 3asc; 3S1s-inch 64x64s, 5B&5 c; brown sheet ings, southern standards, Sc; denims, g oz,. 14c tickings. 8 oz.. 131tc: staple prints. 5Ac; staple ginghams.

GITY PAVEMENT

happens to be at hand pretty
 was fashioned out of a daffodil, and
 charming broad brimmed hat was pro yided by a primrose. The, flower doll could be dressed up in great many ways, according to the blossom and foliage which may be available.
 Fascinating dolls can be made out or poppies. In this case the petals are pressed back closely around the stem and tied In the middle with wisp of grass. Thus the waist of the doll is formed. The stalk is broken off to form one leg, and another piece of stalk Is pushed up to make another leg. The seed case. of course, makes good head, to which might be added a hat fashioned out of any suitable flower.
 After all, one of the prettiest things of the springtime Is the cowslip ball. This is easily formed by pinehing off the stalks of the flowers just below the heads. Now get a fine piece of string and tie one end of this to some support, such as a gate post, and hold the other end in one hand. Next arrange the cowsip flowers closely all along the string, sling ing them crosswise. When the string is crowded all the way with blossoms, gather up the two ends and tie firmly. At once the cowslips fall in such a way that x perfect ball Is formed.
 ksaY primrose ball may be made in the same manner If punches of these flowers containing about six or eight are tied to- gether and then slung across the piece of string the same way as the cQwslps. Of course, the idea might be extended to various flowers by simply making a quan- tity of small punches in the first place.

MR. WARD POINTS ID HARDING SHOWER AS GOVERNOR OF BOARD.
First Governor Will Go Down in History With Marshall as the First
 Chief Justice

George B. Ward. president of the city Harding will be made governor of the reserve board of the regional banking system. and that as governor, he will be the most powerful factor in Ameri- can life. The president of the commits sion declared in remarkable interview yesterday that IS governor of the board MT. Harding would be in the same re- lative position that J ohm Marshall occu- pied when as chief justice he inter- preted the constitution of the United States into law.
 John Marshall was chief justice when no man knew just what the con- stitution meant" said MT. Ward. "He interpreted the constitution. His in- depreciation obtains yet, and he Is re- membered as the greatest jurist of the nations history.
 If Mir Harding is made governor of the reserve board he will interpret the new currency legislation. His in depreciation will endure, will be pat tern for all succeeding governors to fol- low He has a great opportunity before him.
 If he makes good-and that he will, we are all confident-then he will go down into history as one of the great Ameri- cans.
 That MT. Harding will be made gov ernor of the board-lf not immediately, in the long run-we are certain. The man who has his fingers on the money of the country Is capable of influencing the mar kets everywhere. He is the most power full man in American life. The skillful operation of the money supply will result in unreliable good. There is the oppor- tunity which confronts this citizen of Birmingham. The governor of the reserve board will be more powerful than the President who appointed him"
 Mr. Harding will leave for Washington to undertake his new duties June '. He has received no intimation to the end that he will be made governor. The pre- diction of eastern newspapers that he will be made governor has inspired his friends with great optimism and they believe that he will take advantage of his oppor- tunity to make a name which will endure.
