THE RIDGELY TEA ROOM ONE OF THE
 BEAUTY SPOTS" OF BIRMINGHAM
Ky DOLLY DALRYMPLE

If there was any remaining doubt in the minds of the public as to Birmingham s cosmopolitanism it is entirely diffused by visit to the most elegant and magniti- | cent apartment house in the south--.The | Ridgely."
 To Major Tutwiler, whose splendid cour- age and fine spirit of progressiveness suggested and carried out the idea of giv- ing to Btmins ham this handsome struc- ture, all the credit is due, for seeing as he did the need of just such a place where comfort and luxury could be had A f nominal prices he straightway made an investment the like of which has scarce ly been equalled and certainly not excelled in the entire south.
 The Ridgelyp is an ornament to Bir- mingham, one of it's show places,'' and more than that, the absolute perfection with which it is conducted shows as much artistry as the manner of construction and the superb plans upon which it is built.
 The mana cement of Tine Ridgelyp was very fortunate in securing the services of MT. J. G. Wright an expert and compe- tent hotel man, to take charge of the place. and that he has succeeded is &C., knowledged by all those who know any tblng about the excellent service and the dlgnified manner in which .The Ridgely, is run.
 MT. Wright knows the apartment house business from beginning to end, and in the capacity of manager of dozens of hostelrles throughout the country from the Sorrento in Seattle to several of the well known hotels in New York MT. Wright has left an enviable reputation for line management and good judgment in all matters pertaining to hotel life.
 MT. Wright has the cooperation of his charming wife at The Ridgely," and Mrs. Wright's beautiful taste Is apparent In many ways, especially in the decora- tion of the parlors and ladies room, the foyer and tea room, revealing all the lt- tie attractive touches that only a clever woman's hand can give.
 Indeed
 The Ridgely'' tea room Is one of the beauty spots" of Birmingham.
 It's elegance, it's excusiveness and its air of refinement bespeaks all that is de- sirable, and MT. and Mrs. Wright have infused into the surroundings their per- sonahty to an attractive degree, making the place one of elegance and distinction.
 glimpse of the tea room' at the luncheon hour suggests not the crowded and oiverrun places like the Astor or the Waldorf in New York, but the Plaza and the Ritz where people of taste and dis crimination go in search of exclusiveness and quiet
 The tea room is done in the most beautiful taste, the walls of French gray and burnt orange" being especially beautiful, this color scheme being carried out to perfection throughout.
 The walls are done by hand in oils on canvass, and the green lattice work and white woodwork, touched up with mahogany, give an effect that is at once restful and artistic
 The furniture is of exquisite craftsman ship' being designed by Mrs. Wright in the auli grap finish, the chairs uphol- steled in the French gray and hnrp.

PROSPERITY SEASON HERE.

The depression of the cotton industry, the low
prices of dairy products for time and the low price of
hay led many farmers and others to feeling of depres
sion during the months which is sensation
in this valley.
1t was certain that this would be short-ved and
that money has become available for moving the cotton
that hogs and cattle being sold at big prices steady
of dollars is pouring into the valley and the feel
ing Of depression is vanishing rapidly.
Imperial Valley is becoming its prosperous self again.
and will turn out it's great harvests in the future as in
the past.
The lessons of this year point to the still greater need
tenng and have especially shown the desirabty Of ras
ing the farms of the valley beef cattle independent of
the ranges.
Tie uncertain supply of range cattle at times eav-
ing the farmers without demand for their hay make it
imperative that they build up their beef herds here
and raise the calves to maturity.

A MOI tn ago there were barricades
In St Petersburg; the day the war was

and the men who had held them were
the first to join the army. They were
willing to lay aside their personal
! grievances in the desire to strike a
tlow at Germany; and it is military
Germany at which they are aiming
the blow. For those men and women
owe an enormous debt to the culture
of Germany. They know more about

many other countries, having studied
1t more closely, eager to assimilate
what was best in it. At the same
time they realize perfectly that the

sitting atmosphere of German mill
tarism is German culture. From sup
plying the world with the best music

RUSSIA'S SIDE OF
Controversy STATED
Especial Dispatch by the Interna-
tional News Scrvice)

liOlldl NEWS CSINlCGJ
Petrograd (St. Petersburg), Sept.
l2.-Much has been said and written
since August 81 of the causes of the
great European war and the attitudes,
aims and ambitions of Germany, Eng
Land and France in the struggle, but
little has been heard of Russia's side
Of the affair.
Sasha Kropotkin, one of the besr
informed Russians and a man who
knows whereof he speaks, has writ
ten the following article on the war
from the Russians viewpoint:
''To say that the present war is a
war against militarism is to be guilty
of platitude For days past every
ieaderwriter in the country has been
saying so. Yet the attitude on this
subject of a great number of people
IS extremely curious. They seem to
he oppressed by the thought that they
may have 70 cry, when the war is over,
lie roi est mort. Vive lie roir After
Germany-Russia.
England cannot crush German mil
itarism alone. All of us who have
followed the lead of Germany for for
ty y'ars must strike together. Bel
gium has struck her blow. France
and Russia will strike harder; per-
haps The heaviest blow will come from
ussia. And there is the rub. Foc
THAT if Russia. having helped to
rush Germany, develops "a psycholo-
~ analogous to that of Germany aft
or 1870 and, after tasting power, de
c'des to become the greatest of all
fosters the spirit of militarism which
we are now arrayed against?
LET US picture Russia victorious.
Then, so argues Mr.. Bernard Shaw
tand IN the given case he represents
not only himself but quite number
81 other people,, the Russian govern
ment will triumph, Germany will be
crushed, the balance of power will in
cline in favor of Russia. After that
the situation becomes 100 horrible to
contemplate.
MIR. Shaw might be reminded that
there is another Russia-the Russia
Of Tolstoy, Borodine and Cork. But
for the time that is forgotten, or peo-
Ile refuse 10 realize the extremely im-
rortani feet that if Russia is instru-
mental in defeating Germany, it will
be largely owing TO the intelligence
Of that other Russia.
