b|G PACKING PLANT
 BADLY NEEDED HERE
Jones Points Out Handicap Under Which Alabama
 Cattlemen Labor

Fred H. Jones' prominent cattleman of Sumter county, arrived in the city last night and is registered at tffe Tutwiler. MT. Jones is here to attend the big cattle and hog sale Saturday and attend the meeting called by the Chamber of Com merce tomorTow night.
 Birmingham should have a big pack ing house and the cattlemen of Alabama would do the rest" said MT Jones in discussing the live stock Industry in Ala bama. Your Chamber of Commerce should get behind this movement and bring Armour, Swift or Morris here to furnish the cattle and hog men of Ala bama a market for their products. In my opinion Alabama needs nothing worse right now than great big packing plant located here in Birmingham.
 We are forced to send our cattle and hogs to St. Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati tc be killed and sent right back here and sold to us as Kansas City beef and pork. It costs us $135 carrying and handling charges to sell a car of steers in St. Louis whereas Birmingham, if she had big packing plant could handle them for us at cost not exceeding $40. Sumter coun- ty has 400 fine steers in the feeding pens right now. You get the packing plant and the live stock men will furnish the raw material with which Alabama can feed herself.
 In speaking of the plans of the Ala bama State Fair association for making the cattle show at the 1916 fair the great est ever held in the south, he grew en- thusiastc
 Tt sounds like the international show at Chicago he said "Never before have premiums such as will be offered been open to the southern live stock man. understand the fair association proposes to offer a premium of $1000 for the best carload of steers, s750 for the second, $500 for the third, $500 for the fourth and $2o0 for the fifth $1000 for the best individual steer over year-old. $750 for the sec ond, $500 for the third, $500 for the fourth and $200 for the fifth, One thousand dol- lars will also be offered for the best car load of hogs and in proportion for the second, third, etc.
 Our Sumter County Live Stock asso- citation is offering cash prizes for calves and pigs and when we finish showing down there the boys are coming to Bir- mingham and if we don't win the fellow | who does will know he has been in a fight.
 Another feature which makes the 1 showing attractive is the arrangement made by the fair association with the 1 packing houses to buy the prize winning | carload and individual steers at 12 cents l per pound which brings me again to the need of packing plant in Birmingham. | Live stock men are coming from all | over the state to attend the meeting to-
 morrow night when the Alabama Duroc- Jersey Hog and Cattle Raisers associa- tion will be formed. There will also be discussion of the live stock show at the | fair next year. A large attendance is | anticipated.

STEADY GAINS ON
 P|G IRON MARKET
Tremendous Sale of Lake
 Superior Ores Felt
MUNITION ORDERS
Price On Steel Making Irons Ex- pected Soon to Reach $20 QuO- tation-Slight Gain In Aver
 age Production

Cleveland. December S.-(Special.)
 The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
 say: The sale of Lake Superior iron
 ores for 1916 delivery has been started
 at an advance of 75 cents per ton over
 1915 prices. The new prices are: Old
 range Bessemer, $4.50; Mesaba Besse- mer, $420; old range -Bessemer, $3.75; Mesaba non-B Bessemer $3.50. AL though it had been known that the buying might be started any time, the actual inauguration came unexpectedly late Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Nearly all the important ore companies had salesmen in the field Reserva- tions are being rapidly changed into actual orders, and it seems probable that before the end of the week prac- tically all of the ore to be delivered next year, generally estimated at about 55, 100000 tons, will be disposed of Sales have been made in the east of New York and New Jersey ores at prices equivalent to an advance of 75 cents above last year. Iron ore ship ments for the season in the Lake Su- perior district amount to 46,31S,S tons,
 an increase of 14,31S,907 tons over 1914.
 
 record year, 1913.
 The pig iron market steadily gains strength and in the valleys the demand for steel making grades continues with the probability that the S20 quotation will soon prevail. On No. 2 foundry SIS is now the quotation in the valley. In Cleveland and Toledo and at Buff
 falo even more is being asked. The demand for basic and Bessemer flor ShiDment tO En01and al ic strong. In the south very little iron is to be had at less than s14, and most furnaces are quoting $14.5O for first half delivery
 November, with 30 days, made slight gain in average daily production of coke and anthracite pig iron, the fig ures being LOLITA tons, compred with 1OO,656 tons in October. a gain of 51S tons. The actual production for Nov ember was 3,035,235 tons, compared with 3,12O,340 tons in October The slight gain made by November shows clearly the furnaces have been driven almost to their limit, and it is doubtful whether production can be increased very much for several months, as a number of stacks will soon be put out
 for refining. Great Britain has suc-
 ceeded in increasing it's output of ann intuition to such an extent that it does not place orders to the extent that it did in this country, but the govern ment of Russia is more active than
 ever in buying equipment. It is plac- ing orders for lathes and general line of machine tools for the earliest possi- ble delivery, which, in the case oi some manufacturers, is four or five months ahead. Demand from American concerns making ammunition is sactivt but orders are not large.

BOYS ENTERTAINED
 BY ROTARY CLUB

One hundred boys, members of the Boys club, were the guests of the Bir- mingham Rotary club yesterday at the regular weekly luncheon held at the Tutwiler, and it is question which enjoyed themselves the most, the Ro- tarians or their youthful guests. Each member of the club was assigned boy as his particular charge and, by tn way, each member paid for his guest lunch as we'll as his own, and takin the boy in hand, sat with him durin the affair. J. D. Moore, president e the Rotary club, introduced Dr. J. F Finder as the chairman for the day.
 One of the customs of the Rotariar at their luncheons is the introductic of guests and this proved pleasal feature for each guest was proper presented in language about like th "Mr. Chairman-I have with me r friend Johnny Walker, aged 12, goes the Powell school and is in the four 2 grade. Johnnie sells newspapers 10 help his widowed mother and wal to be an engineer" Every boy duly presented and it was a pleas; sight to see those among the most sl stantial business men of the city stan up and introduce some little chap W ill grimy "mitts' and towsled hair |. my guest" my little brother" ''fay buddy" my partner,' my chum,' so on.
 The feature of the occasion wa stunt pulled off by General Mc- Cleery, field marshal of the Rotarians with the assistance of Master Frank Mccormack, particularly bright boy who carried out his part to perfection. It was in the nature of a conversation between an interlocutor and an end man, the general acting as the interloc- utor and of course, he got much the worst of it. They localized some of | their jokes and while they caused much laughter and amusement, were never coarse nor tended to ridicule. Several of the boys recited in verse 1 the Rotarians' creed and ended with the Rotarian yell as follows: 1 What is the mater with Rotary? l Ho, ha, he, she's O. K.
 | Rotary, Rotary, ho, ha, he, 1 Rack, yak, yak, yak,
 | Rack, yak, yak, yak
 | Hullabaloo, hullabaloo, l How do you do, how do you do? l Rotary.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Red ROse''

The brisk comedy and merry, tuneful airs of "The Red Rose" one of the most entertaining of the musical pieces pro- duced in recent years, were given a very good presentation at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. The company is quite competent in histrionic ability, but rather lacking in vocal strength. Miss Marguerite de Von the star, seemed to be suffering from cold. However, the performance was given with sprightliness that made it quite accept able to theatregoers present at the Jeffer- son last night.
 The usual hodge-podge of nonsense served for a plot but each of the parts was in capable hands and the comedy features were excellent. Miss de Vor played Lola, the Partisan model with all the spirit and magnetism the part re- quired. She is a stunning figure on the stage and Is quite favorite here. where she is well known. Edith Caldwell was very pleasing in the feminine role next in importance to that of Miss de Won, while Maurice Darcy and George Williams as two comical American millionaires ir Paris looking for excitement and incl dentally planning a merger in rubb CT contributed a great deal to the mirth an6 jollity of the evening by clever work in their respective roles.
 Donald Archer who mas an uncanny gift for keeping a monocle in his eye and plays English chappies to perfec tion, was again seen iu one of these congenial parts, which he has presented here in the past. Wilbur Cox as. Spiegel Karl Stahl as Baron lo Blanc, JethrC Warner as Andre and Alden McClaski, as Dick Lorimer were other members O the cast deserving special mention,

ANNIsTON

Anniston, December S.-(Special.)- )-Spe- cial attention is being paid to the bet terment of the public highways by the Calhoun county commissioners now in session at the courthouse here, and if the record new being maintained Is kept up two more years, it is asserted, this coun- ty will have more good road mileage than any other county in the state
 Two years ago, Calhoun had HOO miles of roads, and 105O were not good, only 50 miles outside the towns being macadamized. Since then 50 miles have been macadamized or given a hard chert surface, in addition to which hundreds of miles have been y'idened, drained and built up. The road between Oxford and Choccoocco and the pike between Jack sonville and Alexandria are now being improved
 By electing w. E. Parker, former road overseer in Annist )n. to that position for the county and investing about $10,0O0 in
 new equipment the commissioners esti- mate that they are saving from $500 to $500 per mile on every contract executed at present
 pr. w. F. Marlborough, pastor of the | Parker Memorial Baptist church in this | city, who has been elected to the po- sition of secretary of the home mis-
 sion board in Alabama under the l Southern Baptist convention, to succeed
 Dr. W. B. Crumpton, who held this | position for 20 years, has not signified 1 whether or not he will accept the place,
 but it is generally believed he will give an affirmative answer as he has long been an active worker in behalf of
 both home and foreign missions. | Dr. Marlborough came to Anniston | from Jackson, Miss. He has been in
 the state only six years and the com pliment conferred on him by the Bap-
 tist board is considered very high one. He was connected with the mis-
 sion board in his native state and since coming to Alabama he has been sim
 ilarly honored by the mission and edu- cational boards. He succeeded Dr. J.
 H. Foster, now president of Bessie Taft
 college at Forsyth, Ga. in this city | Parker Memorial, the charge now held by Dr. Marlborough. is considered
 one of the best pulpits in the state
 and should Dr. Marlborough decide to kaccept the place so long held by Dr, Crumpton the local vacancy would very 1 likely be attractive to several of the 1 strongest preachers in the south, the church membership having been con siderably enlarged under Dr. Tar borough's pastorate.

"The Garden of Allah"

Faddma, Algerian dancer with the Garden of Allah, which will be the attraction at the Jefferson three nights, commencing December Is, with matinee Saturday, is the possessor of a bracelet made of hammered gold and silver, and made more than 200 years ago. It is an exquisite bit of workmanship from an antique viewpoint. Faddma originally had two of them, but when Miss Emmy Oswald, member of the cast, appointed herself Faddmas teacher of English, in sheer gratitude one of them was pre- sented to her. The bracelets, which were made by hand, were presented tC Faddma's grandmother, herself dancer by the Sultan of Morocco. and bear an inscription in Arabic which, translated means, Prom the Sun and Moon" The bracelets are highly prized by both young ladies.

BECAUSE OF CATTLE DISEASE
Foot and Mouth MaIady Brought Into
State by Shipments of Cows
from Wisconsin.

Z Four counties in Kansas, Cowley,
Sedgwick, Sumner and Butler, have
been quarantined by the department
of agriculture against foot and mouth
disease because of infection brought
by cattle from Wisconsin. The de-
partment first quarantined the whole
state and announced it's action, but
later issued an amended order.
Officials of the bureau of animal in
dustry were surprised by the reports
from Kansas that the foot and mouth
disease had been discovered there.
The bureau has been fighting the dis
ease since early in November and re-
ports from the infected districts have
indicated that they have it under con-
troll.
Officials of the bureau stated that
they would proceed vigorously with
their plans to stamp it out in the Kan
sas counties placed under quarantine
and that they believed it would not
be necessary to extend the quarantine.
