Humane Society of Birmingham

The Humane society of Birmingham was started in very modest way by Mrs w. N Wood in Ensley, but was reorganized in 1910 in Birmingham, and has since had offices In the city hall, with county and city officer. Special legislation has been enacted by the Ala bama legislature and ordinances pro- vided by the city authorities.
 The motto of the Angell Memorial Hos pita in Boston is fit one for this so- ciety as well: We speak for those who cannot speak for themselves"
 Remember if the dog is at large in your neighborhood and is proving an annoy ance, don't let the small boy stone him or let the poor dog feel your displeasure in the form of poison biscuit. If the people of Alabama are not forced to pay a large license and must keep dogs they must be educated to keeping them in. If they will not keep them up then in the name of humanity report the case to the Humane society and let them do away with the innocent. trusting crea- ture in the most humane way.
 By nature, as we have shown, the dog is obedient. faithful and kind. If he con tracts a disease he Is no more to blame than a person is for getting smallpox By all means try to remember to treat the animal with some respect when he la we'll and put him out of his agony when he is i'll. If it is considered wisest to destroy the dog on account of the pos sible menace he may be to society then in the name of humanity destroy him with the least pain. This method has been provided at a large expense to the Humane society Don't poison the dog or stone him to death telephone to the humane office

AUGUST DR0uTH FOLLOWED BY
EXCESSIVE Rains CAUSE OF
COTTON CROP DETERIORATION

Washington. Aug. 30.-Drouth fol-
lowed by excessive rains in the cot
ton belt during August caused dete-
rioration slightly more than the Au-
gust average to the growing cotton
crop. The Department of Agricul-
ture today announced the condition as
So per cent of normal. That is 81
per cent below the July condition.
Unofficial calculations. based on
government averages for yield, con-
dition and acreage, placed the crop
at 11,S17,235 equivalent 500-pound
bales, against 16,134,93O bales last
year.
While no official statement explan>
atory Of the cotton figures was forth
coming from the department g agri-
culture, Leon NJ. Estabrook, chief Of
the bureau of crop estimates, an
nounced unofhcially that the report in
dicated a yield this season of approx
imately 11,S00OO0 bales of cotton as
compared with an actual production
of 16,135,93O bales last season.
THE condition of 49, estimated today.
as compared with 1913 on July 49, Mr..
Estrabrook explained, lis a tffe more
of a decline than is normal. If the fig
urcs had been the same IN today's esti-
mate as on July % there would be an
cline between the July and August esti-
mates. The figures today indicate a
yield of approximately 11,Soo,ooO bales.

move may conclude for the present
the great offensive effort against the
Russians, which has been in progress
since May and that once Austrian
soil is cleared of the invaders a new
campaign may be undertaken by the
Teutonic forces, this time in the near
East. In support Of this theory Is
cited the report that the Central Pow
ers are massing troops near the Ru-
manian border.
The weekend witnessed violent
and almost continuous activity on the
part Of the artillery of the allies all
the way from the North Sea to the
Vosges. There are no indications,
however. that this expenditure of big
