south. The booths or compartments for
the different exhibits have been par
titioned off with neatly made ratings
The booths have been arranged with
wall<ways through and around them
and many an hour of valuable time
can he spent by anyone In going
through the exhibit and absorbing the
knowledge there to be gained.
The great number of different pro-
ducts manufactured in the Birmingham
district will amaze any citizen of the
town who has not had occasion to 9TH
erwise familiarize himself with the
facts A view of the exhibit leaves
the unmistakable impression that while
Birmingham is an iron and coal town,
it is not that alone by any means and
that the diversified industry already
has become of almost equal import
ance and probably is destined to out
Strip the basic industries themselves.
Open Every Day
The exhibit is to be maintained by
the rental of the booths 1t will be open
for inspection every day and will be
Mecca for visitors to Birmingham.
Here is where the real value of the
exhibit is expected to lie. Visitors to
Birmingham heretofore have had to
take the natives word for it or else
take several days of toilsome travelling
about the city to get some compre-
hension of the industrial and manufac-
turing activities of the town. All that
ii, the future will be necessary will be
to give the visitors directions as to
how to reach the manufacturers per-
rianent exhibit for here will be on
display practically everything made in
the district. The exhibitors will keep
literature at their various booths and
some of them contemplate keeping on
hand all the time demonstrated or
guide to take charge of all visitors
and give them a complete insight into
the particular booth in question. 1t is
believed that after the exhibit Is open
for a short time that others who have
been holding back will see the benefits
CT the movement and join the associa-
ton. The officials of the association
state that prospective exhibitor
should not consider what 1t will cost
him to maintain a booth but what it
will cost him to stay out and not
maintain one.
The permanency of the exhibit is
agreed to cooperate and have installed
exhibits and as more come into the as
ISOLATION it will develop and expand
until in the course of time 1T is ex-
pected 1t will become one of the main
show places of the city.

NO EXODUS OF FRESHMEN
 TO ESCAPE coNScRIPTIoN.
Irish Emigration Figures for Month of
 October Disprove Stories.


 Dublin. Ireland, Nov 26.-The Irish emigration returns for the month of October contradict the stories as to the great exodus" of Irishmen to the United States to escape conscription. The government official return shows that in the month, just passed 1,003 men ana 1O1 women emigrated from Ireland to all parts of the world. The figures for the same month last year were 1899 men and 932 women. There Is thus a decrease in emigra ation for the month of 396 men and 231 women. The record is very similar if the whole ten months of this year is compared with the same months last year. Last year the total emigration from Ireland to all parts of the world in the ten months was 10,095 men and 9,654 wom- en. This year 1t has fallen to 5,662 men and 3,6S4 women.
 The official figures also contradict the story that the passages of the
 living siackerS" were paid for by German gold" sent over from Ameri- ca. One thousand, one hundred sixty i've of the 1,704 emigrants in October went to the United States, and of these the passages of only 77 were prepaid from the United States, in accordance with the old practice by which Irish emigrants who have settled in the United States send home the passage money of friends and relatives they have left behind. For the ten months of this year of 5,S1S emigrants to the United States 505 had their passages prepaid. Last year in the same ten months out of 14,714 who went to the United States 3,6ts had their passages paid for them.
 It is true, however, that the desire to avoid entering the army has been added to the other causes of emigra- tion. The meth ods of recruiting adopt ed in some districts, especially in the 1R was taken over oy responsible de- partment under lhe control of the lord lieutenant, were often very ill-judged, and irritated instead of consolidating the people. Threats instead of persuasion were sometimes used, and the people were told that if they did not come willingly they would be taken by the scruff of the neck" and forced in under conscription. Shortly following upon these threats came the invitation of the lord lieutenant, distributed by cir cular to almost every house in every parish in Ireland. Though it was pure ly voluntary, the people in some cases jumped to the erroneous conclusion that here at last was the fulfllment of the threat. Wounded soldiers had re- turned to many districts. and when the tales were told of the seventies of the fighting, especially at Suvla Bay, moth CTS were frightened for their sons, and one old woman sold her COW to pay the passage of her boy to America
 The declarations of the Irish party against conscription, and tn assur- anceS of it's leaders in public speeches that it will never be applied to Ire- land, were accepted, however by the great bulk of the people. and though 1,003 men left Ireland for all parts of the world as em;grants in the month of October, the recruiting in the same months was four or five times that number

Rogers
 The board of relief gave Mrs. Bug bee no reduction from the valuation placed on the property by the board of assessors. The town claimed she had failed to comply with the statute stating under what circumstances boards may reduce lists
 It was necessary for the appellant in order to have the board consider the question as to whether the vafl uation of her property. should be re- duced. to make a bona fide offer of a personal appearance for examination at the time and place of meeting oi the board. This Mrs. Bugbee did not do and could not do no account ot illness at the time, but a member oi
