Crop Protection Houses

Now that the attention of the pro- gressive farmers of the south and of Ala. bama Is centered on the crop diversifica- ton movement, it would be an excellent idea. perhaps, for those men WI de sire to raise large crops of perishabe pro- visions such as sweet and Irish potatoes to prepare in advance to handle these crops with the least possible loss'' said c. r. Bell.
 With cotton as the staple crop, very little precaction was necessary in order to avoid loss. Of course, shelter was gen orally provided, and the fire risk some, times insured; but as cotton Is very com pact when in bales this was arranged witt comparative ease. In handling potatoes however a more difficult problem pre- sents itself. and this crop is growing more valuable in this section each year The potatoes must have adequate pro tection against both cold and dampnes, or rotting will set in quickly.

The Rev. Billy Sunday closed his Philadelphia campaign Sunday in "a
 blaze of glory" For II weeks he kept the Quaker city stirred, and so great was his hold upon all classes that he might have remained Il weeks longer and preached to capacity houses. No matter how much some people might
 have criticized the Rev. Sundays sem sational style of preaching, unbiased
 observers testify to the good results
 that have followed his meetings Judged

 it did, all revival" records of this coun- listened to this remarkable evangelist
 During his Il weeks campaign 41,724
 people professed conversion All the money taken up at the collections Sun day-about s2O00-was given to the poor of the city, but before the evan gelist left the committee handed him a bank draft for $51,136.S5, representing the amount of free will offering the citizens of Philadelphia made. A re- porter, in describing the scenes at the tabernacle, said: Each of the four au- diences went wild today at his first ap
 pearance and stubbornly refused to leave the tabernacle until the evan gelist himself left the platform. Men and women pulled down signs from the tabernacle posts and carried them away. They scooped up big handfuls of saw dust from the shadow of the pulpit, filled their pockets and their handker- chiefs with it and carried it home. They took the tin pans which have gathered the tabernacle offerings. They tore the bunting and flags from the rostrum, the flowers from the pulpit; they carried away everything loose that could serve as mementos of the campaign"

ChiIdren's Aid Society

One of the most deserving charities of Birmingham is the Children's Aid society. It does not often call on the public for contributions, but it is now badly in need of funds. and those who are able to do so should contribute without delay.
 President S. E. Thompson has writ ten this letter:
 We had hoped to avoid an appeal at this time for funds with which to care for the poor children of our city and county. However, the conditions are so urgent, and we are receiving So many applications at our receiving home tthe DeBardeleben place) that We feel some way must be found to meet the situation at once. It has been year now since our last request for help. We would greatly appreciate any assistance to this cause which you may see fit to render. The need is urgent and We, therefore, hope to re- ceive an early response

When will the war end? Well, that de- n.ander-in-chief of the British army, is not talking "three years of war" as Lord Kitchener is wont to do. He does not think it will be long war, and he gives it as his opinion, as a matter of course, that the allies will win.

Improving Railways In Suburbs

''The Legislative enactment which pro- vides for the improvement of public high Ways in the corporate limits of municpall-
 ties by boards of revenue, opens the way to very necessary work" said Percy Clark.
 Now, it is to be hoped that before many months we shall see a country hiickyard operated by convict labor women, boys and men incapacitated for heavy road work-the product of such an enterprise to be paving brick, to be used to make brick paved centers for these highways; first in the corporate limits, and then to be extended on to the county line, in the north and south, and east and west main highways In the citw limits these brick roadways should be 20 feet, with 10 feet of chert side roads. In the country, the brick portion need only be 16 feet.
 The brick paved road is being used in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Flor ida. A Birmingham firm is now engaged h paving F miles of road leading out from Orlando, Fla. Such a road is the one best, easiest kept and in the last analysis, most economical road for stand ard roads. With little care it will last centuries. It is true, that the first cost is higher than that of any other road, but it will long outlive any bonds issued to pay for it. No other road will. With convict, labor, such as suggested, labor almost a dead tax to feed, house and clothe, the economic lowest base, as to cost of the brick, presents itself; this is the heaviest item of expense. Let the board of revenue try the plan in the rural streets of Birmingham, and we shall quickly see the excellent working of the plan"

Lafayette Sun: The Alabama mocking bird is singing, the flowers are bloom ing, the gardens are growing truck, and the trees are beginning to bud, while farmers are getting mighty busy. Sup pose we quit talking hard times and push out into the glorious spring with happy, hopeful hearts. Old Chambers will come to the front this year as one of the Alabama counties that will feed itself.
 Huntsville Times: We farmers are wisely cutting out cotton now; for out wonder in three years we are told by experts that we'll have to cut it out altogether. The interum for prepara- ton is fine and eveyy minute of the time should be utilized.
 Gadsden Evening Journal: Referring to the attempt to get woman suffrage before the present legislature, some are mean enough to suggest that the hand picked'' legislators will be "hen pecked." The Decaturs Daily: A hole-proof strong box is badly needed by the state of Alabama.
 Evergreen Courant: Farmers have made splendid progress during the past no days of ideal weather in planting corn and in preparing their land for planting corn and otheer crops. From all indications there will be a bumper acreage in corn, velvet beans, peanuts and peas, etc. The people appear to be
 thoroughly in earnest as regards diver sifcation this year

PHTLLTES, TREMBLING
IN FIRST PLACE, TO RELY

Moran Hopes to Bring

Lead, for Long Series
Here - Dell Probable
Pitcher for Brooklyn.

BROOKLYN, May 1O.--Grover Cleveland
Alexander Is slated to twirl for the Phil
lies in the final game against the Dodgers
this afternoon. Manager Moran wants to
win this game. as 1t allows the team TO
return home in first place Pat believes
that he will keep the boys in the lead for
some time If he can take them back in
first place for their long home stand.
Alexander has confined his efforts to
beating the Giants and Braves to date,
and 1t will he his first appearance against
Brooklyn. The big Nehraskan has never
been very successful against the Dodgers.
and for this reason Moran heretofore has
worked his pitchers so that Alexander
could be saved for other teams.
Coombs' victory on Saturday was again
accomplished by tho use of his curve
mixed with fine slow ball. Jack has
but little speed and still made the lead
ers look bad. His success may induce
Robinson to send 'Wheezer" Dell to the
mound today. Dell Is one of Coombs'
proteges, and is pitching very much like
the former iron man. Robinson thinks
that this style is particularly effective
against the hard-hitting Philles.
Tho local fans are convinced that the
Dodgers have found their stride or the
Thllies are badly ovcrTated ball club
The improvement in pitching and the
general awakening Of the Dodgers causes
the fans to believe that the long-loolSed
for pennant contender has at last been
developed for Brooklyn.
