SAVE TWO DOLLARS!

Listen to what The Nation, high
brow New York literary journal, does
to "Bertie" McCormick's new book:
Robert R. McCormick's With the
Russian Army devotes less than so
small pages, out of total of more
than 300, to actual observations on
the Russian front; and these are of a
very mild kind in no way superior to
the mass of material that finds its
way into the columns of newspapers.
The rest of the book is given up to
two subjects distinguished Rus
slams whom the author met and the
history of the Russian army and of
the campaigns which Mr.. Mccormick
did not see but which were described
to him by Russian officers. AS the
son of a former ambassador to Pet

an invitation to come to Russia and

the interview being somewhat over
elaborate in its account of the furni-
ture in the imperial antechamber-
the Grand Duke Nicholas, the chief
of staff, and generals without num-
Der. But in spite of these opportuni-
ties he has brought back, as indicat-
ed, little matter of value. Where the
writer depends on secondhand in
formation, he shows no particular
critical judgment. Of the early cam
paigns he accepts the Russian version
without question. A moving picture
operator accompanied Mr. McCor-
mick, the only one so privileged, we
are told, and we are inclined to think
the pictures will prove more informa-
tive than the text"

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 2o.-A big gov
eminent armor plate plant and pro-
jectile factory are proposed in the
naVy's national defense program,
Sec'y of the Navy Daniels announced
in speech at the state fair. Dan
iels said he would ask congress to ap-
propriate for the two new projects
this year. ...,
eff my recommendations are APP
proved" said Daniels, 'the govern
ment will be free to make a large part
of it's own munitions if private con-
Germs charge excessive prices. We
will erect a large factory which will
turn out 14-inch armor-piercing
shells as well as smaller projectiles.
There has been no competition in
armor plate and recently two of the
three plants came under a single
ownership. The time has come for
thernavy'to build factory of its own,
which should have been erected in
1907 when the money was available.
1t has been ascertained by a special
commission that the navy with mod
ern plant, can manufacture armor,
plate from $3.50 to $3.50 as against
the non-competitive prices of $425
to $4S6 charged under the last con-
tract"

BIRMINGHAM TO HAVE
 MUNICIPAL GARDENS
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT ny MRS. SIDNEY M. uLLMAS

The city of Birmingham will assist in feeding the unemployed and needy dur ing the winter months from the yield or the municipal gardens started now in this city.
 The plan Is not visionary but practical and the results though probably small this year. are an opening to bigger work in the future
 The lots will be worked by the city street department, and the planting will be under the direction of Mr. Weathershee' the superintendent of school gardens. The crop will be gathered by volunteer labor in the fall Lots have been loaned for farming purposes by real estate firms of the city.
 It is hoped individuals having property will signify their willingness to allow the property to be used for this purpose.
 The necessity for making provision for the eitys needy during the winter is a fact that must be faced 1t Is a matter that should be on the city's conscience and the storing away of foodstuff, even though the amount for the first year will not be so large, Is a valuable asset.
 So much has been said of the unsightly empty lot the weed grown fields and the untidy appearance 1t gives to the city,

The Spring Cleaning
le St. Joseph News-Press

From the St. Joseph News-Press.
 Of late a new twist has been given to the ancient custom of spring houseclean- ing by the celebration of "clean-up week. in various cities and towns. This festi- val has to do not so much with the in- ternals of house cleaning as with the clearing away of rubbish from yards streets, alleys and gutters. and the united effort on the part of all the townspeople to make their community healthful and beautiful
 Spring cleaning is an ancient and hon. ored institution. But may we not profit ably consider another kind of spring cleanup? When we see what the clean ing up does for our houses and yards, may we not stop to think what spring cleanup might do for our characters Just as rubbish has way of accumulat- ing in garret. cellar. closet pantry, desk, bureau, so rubbish is sure to accumulate in our minds and souls. And spring, with its new life and brighter light and pleas anter air is a good time to sift out the rubbish from our lives as well as from our houses and gardens.
 So we should go over the whole list of our motives our interests, our thoughts, our hopes our pleasures, our habits, our indulgencies, and see what unclean, use- less. hindering rubbish we can get rid of It takes courage and persistency to clean house, and 1t takes the same to clean the character. But the last will pay bet ter results even than the first.

 Show Increase of Steel Output

New York. July 1.-Features of especial interest were altogether lacking in to- days stock market, which bore the usual ante-holiday aspect in it's dullness and irregularity. So far as outside devel- opments were factor, foreign conditions exercised an unfavorable influence. the sinking of the Armenian causing re- ! newed apprehension regarding relations between this country and Germany
 Domestic news was mostly favorable including the governments report on cot ton, which showed a condition slightly above the average of the past decade Crop news from the northwest was more reassuring and advices from Pittsburg and other industrial centers reported a steady increase in the output of steel and iron.
 Railroad shares of the high grade class moved within very narrow limits when at all and other investment issues were equally apathetic.
 The general bond list was heavy on moderate trading. Total sales par value aggregated $2.49o.000

 Gain

New Orleans. July 1.-The govern ment reports on condition and acre age failed to move the cotton market today. The acreage report showing a decrease of 157 per cent compared with last year was called bullish and the condition report of SO3 per cent, gain of threetenths of a point for the month, was called bearish One about offset the other and very little trading was done immediately after they were posted.
 In the early part of the session prices advanced to s points in sym Dathy with good cables, too much rain in Oklahoma and Arkansas and re- pnrts of boil weevil damage in some parts of the belt. At noon, Just boa fore the reports were read, prices showed a net gain of ? to points The market stood still for awhile, but final ly moved upward to points.

Alabama Crop Exhausted Until Auumn-Alabama Cantaloupe Season On and Shipments Are Received Brundidge
 Theodore and Robertsdae-Few Changes in Quotations

Trade on Morris avenue is reported up to the average and with the exception Of a quarter of a cent reduction on salt bellies, no change was reported in whole- sale quotations.
 The feature of the local market yester- day was the arrival of a carload of head lettuce from Cincinnati which was re- ceived by the Bell Rodgers Produce com pany. The shipment was brought here in refrigerator car. and the heads which are large and white are packed in boxes containing two dozen each. The Cincin- nati goods are quoted at s1a1. 25 per box, and are expected to meet with a brisk demand. It is the first car of the sea- son, although a number of express ship ments have been received from the Queen City.
 The Alabama lettuce crop has become practically exhausted: hence the neces- sity of importation. A great part of the lettuce consumed in Birmingham is produced by the truckers of Jefferson county. but when the warmest weather of the year strikes the town the scene of production shifts northward. Another Aidp pdHid ltAluNe CTop VIII Oc fd1Seu the autumn; and after this is exhaust ed shipments of Florida lettuce will begin.
 The Alabama cantaloupe sea son is now on. The first shipments of any size were received here yesterday by the Bell-Rod- gers Produce company Thirty crates came from Theodore; five from Brun- didge and 2S from Robertsdale.
 Among other receipts by the Bell-Rod- gers company were: Three crates huckle- berries, Iron City; two crates dewberries. and one crate peaches, Thorsby; five crates tomatoes, Garland; one crate huckleberries, and four crates dewber- ries, Jackson Gap; five coops chickens, Fayette; two coops chickens and two cases of eggs, Sulligent

New York, July 1.-The government crop report failed to create any fresh interest of consequence in the cotton mar ket today and prices sagged on after its publication. with the close easy at net decline of from to points. The aver age condition of sos as reported by the government was closely in line with the average of the private reports published here during the past few days, while the estimated reduction of 157 per cent in acreage was also just about as ex- pected.
 The market was quiet but generally steady during the morning. Cables were better than due and after opening steady point the market here worked up to net advance of about or 6 points before the government report was published Slight reactions followed under realizing but there was little spurt of buying on the official condition and acreage fig ures which sent October up to 9.s6c or about points above last nights closing figures. Demand tapered off at this level however, and the market later weakened under scattering liquidation and some local pressure, which appeared to be in spired by the easier ruling of New Or leans and a bearish report from trav- eln gexpert as to crop prospects in Arkansas and parts of Oklahoma Pri- vate cables attributed an early decline
