Does Not Bring Consumer and Producer Into Close
 Relation
REASON OBVIOUS TO
 THE OBSERVER
No Assurance That Consumer Will Find What Is Wanted Affairs Here In Sharp Contrast to
 Those In Other Cities
By J. A. HANDY

For the past few years there has been almost continuous agitation for better market conditions in Birmingham, and 1t was only last year that Commissioner weatherly's municipal market ordinance went on the statutes after several com promises.
 The chief purpose of this ordinance was to bring the consumer and the pro- ducer Into closer relation and to cut out the middle man as much as possible Sev- eral places were set aside for the farmer and the peddler to come that he might be in reach of the man or woman with 8 market basket during certain hours Peddlng was only partially restricted, and laws governing this practice have been enforced only in desultory manner As a result of these circumstances very little. if any, practical good has been ac- complished.
 Farmers continue to come to market in the early hours of the morning, taking supplies to the retailer, or direct to Morris avenue-the great gathering point for ped dlers, hucksters and truckers-and after selling the choicest portion of the load return home, or make an effort to dis pose of the remainder by peddling. Y Not So In Other Cities
 This condition of affairs is in sharp con- trast to those of Louisville, New Or leans and other long established munich palities where marketing is under thorough and intelligent regulation.
 In Louisville the needs of the farmer, AL. l t., been studied and satisfied. The fact that the man who produces vegetables and fruits and brings them to town Is first of all a farmer, and desires to dispose of his load as quickly as possible and return to his work. No attempt is made to coerce the trucker to dispose of d wagonload of goods by the nickels worth. square has been set aside in the heart of the Kentucky city. and the mar ket place has been equipped with stalls and places for the farmer to stand be- meath shelter. A certain rent is charged by the city, and those who have stalls and those who have wagonloads of pro- duce to sell must do business here. The farmer drives to town in the morning. looks the market over and sees what is being offered for produce at the cen tral market, and if he can sell his goods to advantage by the load does so. If on the other hand, as Is often the case, the retail trade is good at the market place, the producer takes his stand at one of the stalls erected for the purpose, and proceeds to sell at retail to all corners.
 A crowd is attracted to the Louisville municipal market by reason of the fact that there Is always a variety of pro- duce on display. Those who have stalls rented supply them with both home grown and shipped produce, which is in demand. But the farmer has the privilege of com peting with the merchant on home raised produce.

AS PICTURED BEFORE THE WAR GERMANYs DAY OF DESTINY

 Colonel Frobenus in the book Germany that war coming He declared that it would in the spring of 1915 when the French and Russians completed the prepara tOns which he said they were then making
 But what is perhaps most interesting the book those who try to follow the with unbiased judgment and accept President Wilson's injunction to be neutral is that the writer declares that Germany faced with the danger being run by five millions of hostile troops but that than that number could be effective He declared that great troops required tremendous spaces for their operations that only certain number could be used by either side This itself most interesting and upon the fact Colonel Frobenus exhorted Germany to base its hope.

SITES FOR SUMMER HOMES
IN FEDERAL FORESTS

To promote a more general use of
the national forest lands for summer
home and recreational purposes, a
Federal law has been put into effect
which allows the leasing, at nominal
fees, of tracts of ground of not more
than five acres for periods up to 80
years. This plan replaces that hither-
to in effect which provided for the
issuance of revocable permits. Be-
cause 1t was impossible under that
system for an individual to be certain
of the duration of his tenure, many
persons showed restraint in making
material improvements on the grounds
they held. 1t was largely because of
this that the present law was made.
The term permits now granted neces-
state the yearly payment of fees,
ranging upward from SIS, according to
the location of the ground selected.
Persons anticipating making improve
ments not in excess of 81 900 are able
to obtain land permits from district
foresters which are effective for 8
years. Other leases must be approved
at Washington. When land is to be
used for hotel or resort purposes. the
application is accompanied by the
plans, specifications, and estimated
cost of the buildings to be erected and
improvements to be made. - From the

RECORDS FOR PLAYER PIANO
MADE BY SIMPLE DEVICE

To enable an owner of a player
piano to make his own records, an
Ohio inventor has perfected a simple
machine which allows such work TO
be done readily in the home by any
one who is at all familiar with music.
The device which is shown by an
illustration in the September Popular
Mechanics, not only lessons the cost of
record, but also makes it possible
to obtain exactly what is wanted, since
it is within the power of the operator
to set selection in whatever key he
wishes when perforating a roll.
The device consists essentially of a
punching instrument that slides along
scale, so divided as to correspond
with the apertures in the tracker
board of the player piano, and cuts
slots of the required lengths. The
roll of blank paper is inserted at the
back of the machine and fed across a
platen plate. Guiding members at
each side and grips at the ends serve
to track the paper properly and pre-
vent it from wrinkling. AS the punch
ing is done the paper is moved for
ward and wound on a roll at the front
of the machine.

Uncle Sam certainly is after the

recent report from Washington shows
that AZ violations of the law have
been convicted since the first of

to $14S, 900 have been imposed. Twen-
ty-nine persons have been sentenced to
terms in prison, ranging from 80 days
to 3h years. 1t is estimated that
more than two hundred million pounds
of butterine has been fraudulently
sold as butter, and this brings the
farmer directly in competition with a
counterfeit product-Farm Life.
