The H. Steiners Greeted by Old Friends

B. Steiner, the banker, who spends the greater part of the year in New York. still feels at home in Birming ham, where he was for a long while one of it's most public spirited citizens. the holidays and are being cordially greeted by their old friends.
 "The country is prosperous" said MT. Steiner, s'and Birmingham is enjoy ing it's share of business recovery. In dustrially the Birmingham district is in exceptionally fine condition. feel confident the prosperity will continue through next year.
 "The advance in the price of cotton early in the fall was worth millions of dollars to the south. The farmers had held their staple for the rise and this is one of the times when they got the benefit of the market quota tions. Cotton is going higher. It should be bringing 15 cents today. It will reach that level before next spring."
 MT Steiner was in Austria, his na- tive land, when the war broke out and he and Mrs. Steiner, who accom- panied him, had many exciting adven- lures before sailing for America
 Asked when, in his opinion, the war would end, MT. Steiner replied: Soon. Englands credit is now greatly strained and so is that of Austria and Germany. When the 'sinews of war are lacking hostilities cannot continue long. Germany wishes to quit. but Great Britain wants to try it awhile longer. l think the war will come to a sudden end before the winter is past"

ONLY THREE DAYS LEFT.

The Christmas shopper goes her rounds
 With something of weary air. Although the seasons cheer abounds,
 She seems the picture of despair, Six weeks ago she started out
 And carried, too, lengthy list; And though soon wearied of the rout,
 She vowed that she would not desist Till every purchase had been made,
 No matter what the cost might be. Alas, so great the task essayed,
 Fen now the end she cannot see.

Florida and adjoining states are suffer ing from one of the most virulent plant diseases known. It is citrus canker, which gained a foothold in Florida while local and federal citrus experts were ig- norant of it's coming. It was first brought to this country from Japan and the Phil ippines to Texas spreading from that state to other gulf states, where strenu- ous efforts to check its spread have proved unavailing. The Japanese have been fighting citrus canker for several years, but without much success. Prac- tically all the known methods of fighting plant diseases have proved useless against the new epidemic. Experts declare that no headway can be made toward checking the disease in the southeastern orange belt until every tree in the infested area is burned, whetIier it has been attacked or not. The ground around the trees must also be scared with flame before the germs can be destroyed. The orange growers have been fighting citrus canker practically unaided, as the disease ap- peared so suddenly and so unexpectedly that no government provision could be made immediately for coping with it. Cut ting the trees back and painting them with strong germicide was one of the methods tried, but the canker is so in- fectious that the new growth was as bad- ly diseased as the old. The disease was carried to other trees on the hands and clothing of the workers. Birds. grass hoppers and other insects also spread the canler germs abroad. Congress will be asked to treat citrus canker as the hoof and mouth disease has been treated among cattle, by having the infected groves condemned and destroyed by fed eral agents.
