Prosperous Alabama

Six months ago when cotton farm CTS were expecting to get only 61a or cents for their crop. business in the country towns was anything but sat- isfactory, but it is very different now said Joseph Beitman. the well known cigar salesman, who has recently re- turned to Birmingham after an ex- tended trip through Alabama.
 When the cotton market was head ing for 10 cents a spirit of buoyancy began to prevail and now that the price is upward of II cents the whole state seems to be on a boom. I have never known business recovery after acute depression to be so rapid And the best of it is crop diversification has been very generally practiced in this state and the food crops as a rule have turned out to be exceptionally abund- ant. There Is a great corn crop-the largest ever made in Alabama-and the farmers and country merchants are in better shape today than they have ever been.
 Tt is a pleasure to do business in the agricultural sections in good times such as we are now having"

The Cotton Situation

In his review of the cotton market, Henry Clews, under date of September 25, says in part:
 "The prices which now prevail (Satur- cay) represent an enhancement of nearly SIP a bale since early in August Of course, it Is natural that the pessimists of few months back should have. with advancing prices. switched to the con- structive account and should be talking as extravagantly bullish now as they talked bearishly then. There Is no doubt, ss has been repeatedly pointed out in these advices for weeks back. that the basic condition of the situation is sound the crop this year unquestionably will be small one, while indications all along have been pointing to a consumption which will ultimately relieve the market of the most burdensome carry-over ever witnessed. But it is for such reasons that the market has advanced until 1t ia now question if the tremendous en- hancement in values has not discounted pretty fully these bullish factors. When a swing of the present dimensions gets under way it is not unusual to see prices carried by their own momentum beyond values. and such condition of affairs may be witnessed in the present case But until more is known about the crop. the size of which of course it will be
 impossible to determine until killing frost appears, it seems the part of wisdom for those who have profit on their cotton contracts to accept them, and before re- placing to wait for reaction, which. under the circumstances, cannot be far off,"

From the Dallas Morning News.
 We Feed the Baby Garlic So We Can
 Find Him in the Night" Is the title of new song. A baby under such condi- tions nor song under sucn title, cannot hope for popularity. says the Musicale Dallas).
 Oh, but a baby Is popular with some- body regardless of all ethical considera- tions. To feed garlic to an infant would be grossly unfair to innocence. to be sure and should subject the feeders to indictment and imprisonment, nor to mention reproduction and night riders. But a baby replete with garlic would be a baby still, and, being baby, it would be popular with the whole tribe of moth- CTS. No woman who has baby of her
 own hates any other baby, not even one reminiscent of garlic. In all creation
 there Is no object so helpless as a human
 infant, nor in all creation one so effect
 lively tended. Our rationalistic friends
 sometimes tell us that "nature' Is God
 and that all we are and all we have and
 all we aspire to is the gift of insensate
 circumstance. Yet If that were true. if
 nature alone were left to rear children
 
 the merry, merry tumbleweed, no child
 mighty beyond all bounds. but nature Is
 mighty beyon all bounds but nature is impotent to raise baby to mans estate
 even though 1t brings the giant oak from
 the tiny acorn. There Is where divinity
 intervenes. Nature may be said to give
 the child It's being. but 1t does not give 1t its milk. Nature left to its own de- vices. could but permit the infant to starve in It's nakedness, but divinity in the soul of the mother bends low to the little ones lips. and gives 1t sustenance. The scoffers, after the manner of scof- fers, may affirm in their turn that some babies are raised on bottles. therefore divinity must abide also in glass. But not so, not so in 100000 years! Nature may leave the maternal breast dry. yet the same divinity that stirs the mother heart to love stirs the mother brain to action. and she fends for her babe by hustling a bottle and a cute little rubber hose. If nature alone were depended on, infant mortality would be something fierce. And if the same divinity that in- spires the human mother also inspires mothers of the lower orders Gas 1t must | if there is no difference between divinity
 and nature), then why do we not some-
 times see an arid COW raising her calf by artificial feeding? Why do we not sometimes see mamma giraffe. bereft

National Politics

One hears little talk about presi- dential politics except the confident prediction among democrats that Pres ident Wilson will be renominated and reelected in 1918," said S. H. Ash worth of Philadelphia.
 Il happen to be a republican but am free to admit that the outlook for the democratic party is very bright. MT. Wilson has made a better impress sion on the business world than I ever thought he would, and as for his firm but tactful handling of the European situation no statesman could have done better

 Changed Appearance of Fifth Avenue An occasional visitor to Birmingham, such as am, is doubtless more impressed by the rapid strides of the city than is the resident who sees the expansion year by year." said A. w. Tanner of Chicago.
 T was last here in 1904. In those Il years there have been splendid improve ments In both the business district and In the residence sections. Birmingham s business area seems fully twice as large as 1t was when looked over the city in former years.
 "As I spent the greater part of 1899 here became familiar with the town. What has interested me especially on this vlsit Is in observing the movement of the business district toward Fifth avenue. That thoroughfare has already changed much in it's general appearance. This change started probably with the build ing of the Terminal station, after I left here The Age-Herald, building, one of the most beautiful and substantial news paper properties in this country, and the two magnificent hotels on the corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth street.-the Tutwiler and the Molton-have done much to anchor values on the avenue. I un- derstand that ground will be broken next year for the postoffice or general federal
 building. This edifice facing an entire block on Fifth avenue will, of course give fresh impetus to the trend in the directon referred to.
 Tt does not requre any great imagina- tion to picture Fifth avenue three or four years hence as the most brillian nt
