Fruit Market Unsatisfactory

''The fruit market is in a very peculiar condition said the head of family who believes that plenty of good fruit is an aid to good health.
 "'We have had no peaches worth while as yet. Those that thus far have been offered have had but little taste'to them and are inferior in size and condition. We are deluged already with California plums, but they lack the juicy taste of the native k,nd so plentiful here in Ala bama some years ago.
 'The watermelons are slowly improv- ing, but most of them are either too ripe or stale and spongy. The city mar kets and fruit stands are flooded with cantaloupes but again it is a gamble if you get a luscious, just-right melon or a mushy one with a bad spot in 1t.
 The dry weather has seriously affected the gardens in the state. Here in Jeff ferson county there will be a short. poor crop of cucumbers. and the tomatoes that were so promising two weeks ago are losing rapidly in quality and quantity. Then, too. the roasting-e ear patches were. many of them, burned up by the long continued dry spell and hot winds"

Regarding Public Spirit

birmingham has very large num- Der of public spirited citizens who are ready to contribute of their means to civic enterprises, else we would not have the Tutwiler hotel or certain other institutions that people point to with pride said man who attended the hotel dinner Wednesday night
 Tt occurs to me, however that mant. of the men who are induced to sub scribe money to worthy causes would help along appreciabiy by coming for ward in response to appeals without being urged. As was stated at the Wednesday night dinner, the hotel com rany, in order to complete it's financ- ing, must sell ssS,0O0 of per cent bonds. the remainder of an issue of s250,00O Of course, these bonds will be disposed of. but it seems to me that the men who are able to invest 5000 or s2000 in these securities would show the proper spirit if they subscribed unsolicited. The officers of the com pany have done enough 'trudging about in promoting what. everybody admits is an institution of reaching benefit to the entire community. They can be relieved Of further canvassine if men who have the financial abil- ity and the good of Birmin gham at heart will respond promptly"
