The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-23
ALABAMA SANCTUMS

Canebrake Herald: It will soon be time for steam heat in the trenches. Selma Times: Turkeys entrance into
 the war game has not added anything to the veraciousness of the dispatches. Anniston Star: Birminghamers are un-
 able to say that President Wilson Is the guy that put tut in the Tutwiler. Sheffield Standard: The mouth dis ease" will break out in Montgomery in
 January-the legislature is to meet at
 that time.
 Talladega Daily Home: Anyone desir- ing to buy bale of cotton for 10 cents a pound can be accommodated in Talla-
 dega, where the streets are full of it. Piedmont Journal: It is reported that living is cheaper in Germany than in this country. Nothing is said about life being still cheaper
 Gadsden Journal: King Cotton is be- coming a much coddled old man, instead of a stalwart figure in American com merce.
 West Alabama Breeze: Alabama still holds the championship of the world for the largest yield of corn per acre, which is 2s4 bushels.
 Bullock County Breeze: Montgomery papers the last of the week boasted that | 714 cents was paid Saturday for middling cotton. Union Springs buyers had been paying that for two weeks. | Ashland Progress: The slate makers | have begun to parcel out the state of fees that are subject to appointment, but their prognostications about as re- 1 liable as the weather forecasts. | Carbon Hill Journal: It is relieving to 1 note the lack of war news on the front pages of the dailies, and the big black heads dealing with the return of prosper ous business conditions.
 Montgomery Advertiser: The Age-Her- ald asks us to think what would hap pen to a sphynx if it should ever get in
 front of a German howitzer. It would at least grunt once.
 
 | bureau appears to be seeing how much
 it can raise the wireless service from an
 other European capital where they kill l 'em in hundreds of thousands. l Mobile Register: Tobacco and cigarettes
 and hysteria seem to prevail in the minds
 of some of the reformers. By constant
 dwelling upon the effects of tobacco, the
 reformers have come to regard It's use as 1 the eighth deadly sin
 1 Opelika News: There be those who yet
 remember how our governor boasted in
 long interviews about how he was going
 to make certain banks in Montgomery 1 pay the money it was said Lacey took
 off with him, back into the state treasury. Marion County News: The reduction of 1 offices and the doing away with the spending of so much money is the desire
 of the taxpayers of Alabama. The demo- l cratic party must listen to the voice of
 the people. l Troy Messenger: A big insurance com- pany announces that it will lend an un-
 limited amount of money in the Birming-
 ham district at per cent. All great | firms are beginning now to loosen their
 pursestrngs, and before long man may | be able to hold his crops and borrow Y. hat
 money he needs, it seems.
 Franklin County Times: The best thing which we have seen lately is from busi- ness man in Birmingham, who takes the hide off calamity howers in the south. He
 says quit calling conventions to recount
 your votes. Get to work. Bankhead ct al pla ,Se take notice.
 I Decatur Daily: Already plans are being
 made at Montgomery for the inaugural ball of Governor-elect Charles Hender- son. While these plans are being made, it
 might not be amiss to suggest that it be cotton dress" ball. Such an affair
 would add much to the prestige of the
 cotton dress" movement and would bring to mind the old colonial days when cot
 ton goods were used, almost exclusively,
 when hoop skirts were in vogue. Selma Journal: The Mobile Register does not like for the big new hotel at Birmingham to be advertising on it's bills of fare Chesapeake Bay oysters" Why not Mobile Bay oysters? asks the Regis
 ter. Dr. Wiley says they are all good, and as good as the best It may be because . Capt. John Craft raised a big hue and
 cry and objection to putting pepper sauce
 and hot catsup on oysters and sticking them with an oyster fork and chewing them up good, rather than swallowing , them whole. Maybe the Birmingham hotel
 does not want to be cruel to the Mobile
 Bay oysters.
