One of the most important meetings held in Birmingham probably in months Is that scheduled for Thursday after- noon of this week which the entire Jefferson county delegation to the statc legislature is invited to attend and to discuss with the real estate men vital problems concerning this city and county which will come up before the state legislative body next month.
 Secretary James R. Drake is making every effort to have good attend ance of both the real estate men and the legislators. The real estate eN- change is as closely connected with the development and prosperity ef the Birmingham district as probably any civic or industrial organization here. While it .has been in existence out a short time and has had little opportu - nity for direct service in this line, its activity in this direction during the past couple of months demonstrates the influence it may wield in the flu ture making of Birmingham.
 No meeting was held by the exchange

Nothing is better for the southern farmer than d diversified crop doctrine put into practice. There Is one thing however, just as good, and that is a scheme by which the farmer who prac- tises divestified crops can have some means of selling his product"
 This statement was made yesterday by one of the best known real estate men in the city, a member of the Cham Der of Commerce, a civic worker and a prominent citizens.
 Diversified crops Is the only saliva tion of the southern farmer" he said.
 but unless those who are preaching this doctrine go further and give the farmer some means of selling his dl- versified crops he will be no better off than he has been for the past years in which he has raised only cotton. | have travelled through the country in many parts of the state, and every where you will see one farmer with small lots of farm products that he does not need but which he cannot sell. Cotton, In reality, Is about the only really marketable crop in the south; all that Is necessary Is to pick it and haul 1t to town where 1t is al- ways salable.

Paris December 26.-(Speeial) From the number of technical commu- nications that are being submitted from time to time to learned bodies in Paris, 1t is evident that the injuries received in the present war have presented va rious Interesting problems to the medi- cal profession no less than to the op- erating surgeons. Cases have, for tn- stance, occurred. and these not few in which soldiers have been absolutely incapacitated, rendered utterly help less; in fact, without having as much as a scratch to exhibit to the doctors who are rendering such invaluable and heroic service to the armies in the field. And the notable feature of such cases is that they are practically all shell fire
 One military hospital has specially set aside a ward for the study and treatment of such exceptional and, as one might almost say, phenomenal cases In that ward there are four patients whose condition is quite ab normal.

But at what a cost to himself was his heroic deed performed The poor fellow has for gotten all about the incident. His memory is completely gone.

 Her sister Bridget, aged 10, was with her, and narrowly escaped serious i'm jury. She was struck a glancing blow by the mudguard of the machine and thrown to one side. She received only minor bruises. Henry Jarvis, colored, years, was knocked down. but only slightly hurt.
 The car was operated by Elmer F Butler, a laundryman, of North Cam bridge.
 Anna was standing beside a hydrant on Putnam avenue, near Magee street. when the automobile approached at a moderate rate of speed. A large group of children. pupils of the Houghton school which is close by, were romp- ing along the sidewalk in the road way.
 From one of the groups the Jarvis boy broke away and ran Into the street almost directly in front of the car. The two Conroy children saw hi mand called out in warning. At the same time But Ter swerved sharply to avoid running the boy down. As he did so he lost con trol for moment.

Passing of the Picnic

Do Sunday school picnics still give the same fine. careless rapture as of old, one wonders. or are town children nowadays too familiar with rural joys? asks Har- per's Magazine. There was the delicious hot train. Then the boating, the bathing. the open-air gorge at midday; in the afternoon the adventurous exploration of wild woods and dangerous dels already perfectly well known from last year k picnic, and at last the exhaustng return In hotter dirtier train What now seems incredible discomfort attended this first opening of the window upon woodland and lake and river, but then the child forgave everything for the sake of tha green view disclosed.
 The picnic is not only one of the great est, but one of the most American of our institutions-there might be whole literature on its various forms, from Sunday school to Knights of Pythias and liderkranz or schutzenfest At this mo- ment. however, the writer's impulse is to set down a paragraph or two about the pioneer picnic, once a regular summer event through the middle west; now, alas, probably gone. like the pioneers themselves. 1t makes astonishingly vivid the country's youth to realize how short time back the first settlers tbem- selves were still alive, the men and women who had subdued the wilderness of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and now, in a green old age, could sit upon a plat form and listen to a later generation S oratory in their praise. Even 25 years ago every one west of the Aneghenies was still in amazing contact with the very beginnings of history-that he wa, once driven to a pioneer picnic 'iehind oxen fhe OK span and patriarchal and authentic early settler grandfather both Intentionally reminiscent of days gone hy) seems to the writer now an episode incredibly romantic and remote. worth the attention of serious historians. Pic nics are doubtless passing, along with other simpler last century pleasures. but in groves and by absurd small lakes the pleasant memory of them still fingers

GIVE FARMER A MARKET

But here is one man who has a few gallons of molasses he does not need, in the next township may be man who has more corn than he needs, somewhere else Is q man who has more potatoes than he needs. Now what are they going to do with them? If they can't sell such little odds and ends as this how are they to be convinced that they can sell their diversified crops if raised on a larger scale?
 "rhis Is work for the civic bodies of the larger cities like Birmingham It would have to be plan ofN educa- ton.
 Any Alabama farmer knows how to sell a bale of cotton. But give him gallon of molasses or a bushel of corn and he is at sea. There are plenty of people in the country who might need that molasses or that corn. But neither knows anything about the other
 There therefore should be some cen- tral means of bringing these two peo- pie together As time progressese mar kets for these diversified products will develop in all of the local farming com munities, but until that has occurred the civil organizations of the big cities should work out some scheme to assist the farmer in selling his diversified crops after he has raised it.''

SUGGESTIONS TO OWNERS.

l. The owner must accept final re- sponsibility for the financial standing of buyer or lessee. A good broker will not qualify. He should inform himself as far as he is able
 ?. An owner should promptly state to broker if the same proposition has been submitted to him by another
 3. Names of buyers and terms of propositions from broker arc con. fidential. This information is of the highest value. It should be respected by the owner and not used against the broker who is anxious to give and to receive confidence.
 1. Promiscuous listing does not se- cure adequate service A broker will not spend much time on property if he knows others are trying to sell it..
 .. Owners should remember a broker is paid only for the successful deals, If he closes one in 10 his actual com pensation Is a small fraction of l per cent
 G. Don't have an agent attempt to sell your property when you know the title is questionable. Don't let him think your title is fee simple when you have only surface right
 T. One sign on a property is advised. The owner should control the placing of signs and not permit one broker to remove or obscure another brokers sign.
 SUGGESTIONS TO INNESrO
 1. Remember that real estate Is the most permanent of all human invest ments.
 3. Act quickly when you have a good proposition and use as much courage as caution.
 3. Put your proposition in one brokers s hand and not through third person. You will be repaid in service. l. Safe investments are made from a study of the facts and forces of land values. This Is the profession of the real estate broker who compares the relative growth of cities, studies causes which have made and will make values. Consult an experienced broker, mem Der of the exchange. who has a repu . tation to sustain for honesty and abil- ity, before you sign your contract. 5. Do not reject a proposition be- cause others have rejected it. 6. The largest profits are not made in buying established properties which show an assured income. It takes more

E0MESEEKERS

A few essentials to those that are an ticipating buying homes.
 You must have your mind made up as to what you need. gauge your needs as to the size of your family, ouy ae- cordingly; if you have children going to school, buy near a school: if your husband must use street cars to get to his work, take that into consideration, use your thinking cap. shake your stiff bones and come to life.
 You will find 1t advisable to employ some good real estate firm to help you to locate to your best advantage Get one that will look after your invest ment. one that will see that you are getting a good title, and pay the right price for your home. see that you are getting what you are paying for.
 Who Is better equipped to know these things than firm devoting their whole time to these matters?
 Now thenl If yo intend to buy. don't put off too long. as real estate is on the advance, and consequently you will pay more for that home each day you delay We are able to give you the service you need, and ask for your patronage.
