Three Lines. Three Times

He who would put his finger on the pulse of business should turn to the want ad section of the daily news. papers, for the want" columns repre- sent the heart-throbs of the city's business life.
 A keen business man from an east ern financial center was heard to re- mark in a hotel lobby the other day, as he picked up newspaper and rap idly turned to the classified section:
 This must be live town-look at the want ads"
 Long experience had taught this man that the want columns reflect the business status of a town.
 This is no far-fetched conclusion, | for the classified ads represent the needs and demands of people in every walk of life. The community that does not hesitate to set forth in the little "three lines, three times" ad, just what it wants, is the community that gets what it goes after-the communi- | ty that is alive in the broadest inter- pretation of the word
 Every little three-line want ad is special message to every reader every message carries vitally impor- tant information. It would take Sherlock Homes a week to find the one man who might want to trade a lawn mower for a safety razor, yet the little three-line want ad accomplishes the feat before breakfast.
 To rent house, to find job, to sell COW, to trade lot, to summon workman-to do this quickly and at the minimum expense, there is no bet ter medium than the classified ad.
 Acquiring the habit of using the want ad column is an insurance against failure and short cut to sue cess

The Market for FeedstuTs

Large quantities of hay are now be 1 ing produced in Alabama" remarked a | Birmingham broker, "and this city pre- sents an excellent market for home raised | feeds of all kinds
 Tt is true that large percentage Of the feed used here is grown in the west l but in the course of a few years this
 state of affairs will be entirely changed The lands of this state are well suited
 to the production of corn, hay, oats and almost every other product used for feed
 not to mention cotton seed; and 1t would | certainly pay the farmer to raise these | commodities in abundance. Naturally. some discretion must be used in placing
 farm products on the market If the pro- ducer is to realize his full percentage of profit. As usual thing a broker is in better position to dispose of products to
 the advantage of his client than is the wholesaler or retailer, by reason of the
 fact that he handles large quantities and | is always in touch with dealers who are
 really in need of the products which he | handles
 nhe western grain man is. of course, al great disadvantage in competing with the Alabama farmer in his own territory. but he is often able to do so successfully 1 in spite of the heavy outlay of freight necessary. He understands fully the best method of placing his product on the mar ket. He produces large quantities and places it with responsible brokers who
 work on a commission basis, and in this manner insures that his interests will be protected. Naturally, the wholesaler
 feels disposed to make as large a profit as possible and therefore offers a mini mum price for home produce, leaving it to the producer to protect himself. Let me repeat that good profits are to be | had by the farmers of this state who
 raise feedstuffs in large quantities and
 dispose of the harvest in business l like manner"

Science Hall at OwentOn

The announcement made yesterday by the trustees of Birmingham college that work on a new building, to be known as Science hall, would be be- gun within a few days, will be re- ceived with satisfaction not only by the Methodists of northern Alabama, but by the general public of Birming- ham as well.
 The canvass to raise $250,0 ,000 for the college which was conducted with great enthusiasm little more than a year ago resulted in subscriptions to- taling nearly the sum sought. One half of the amount was to be applied to physical betterments on Owenton hill-the construction of needed build ings and the landscaping of the grounds and the other half was to be set part as an endowment fund
 Had it not been for the business de- pression of last fall the greater part of the money subscribed would have been paid promptly. As it was, how ever, the college authorities decided not to press those who had sub scribed but to wait until business con- ditions became normal again before attempting to carry out the large plans projected and agreed upon. l As there has been marked i'm provement in the financial world re. gently the trustees now see their way clear to make start by letting 2 contract for building to cost $35, 1000
 Science hall will mark very pro
 gressive step in Birmingham college
 It will not be as large as some of tn,
 science buildings seen at the older an,
 richer universities but it will b strictly modern and will be adequat
 for the needs of the college. Later o handsome administration building , will be erected.
 Prosperity is fast returning to Ala
 bama. There is promise of splendi harvest this year. The farmers wi . be comparatively well off next ia
 and here in the Birmingham distrit
 the industries are steadily increasin their activities. There is every res
 son to hope that all of the subscrir
 tions to the college will be turned int
 cash before the end of 1915. And wit s250,O00 in hand, new canvass 1
