COMPANY FORMED
TO DEVELOP MINES
Onyx Caves, East of Chill
dersburg, Are Owned by
Mrs. Mathis

Mrs. G. II. Mathis, who has come in for
considerable publicity in the past few
weeks as head of the newly organized
Alabama Diversified Farming association,
and one of the leading figures in the move
ment for diversified and scientific farming
in Alabama, is the woman who owns the
great undeveloped onyx caves about four
miles northeast of Childersburg, and which
were described in story In The Age-Her-
aid several months ago.
Mrs. Mathis stated yesterday that q
company had been formed to develop the
onyx mine. which is said to contain fabu-
lous quantities of the precious stone and
which will make its developers untold for
tunes, but that the business depression
which came last fall had delayed further
activities toward the undertaking for the
present. Mrs. Mathis states, however, that
as soon as the general business depression
of the country disappears the ncwly
formed company will sell its stock and be-
gin operations at the caves.
The company now has offices at APO
woodward building. under the name of
the Alabama Decorative Stons company.

F|VE-CENT BREAD IS
AGAIN BEING MADE
BY BAKERS OF CITY
Public Refused to Buy Six
Cent Loaves, Hence the
Change = Weatherly's
Contention Borne Out

For over a. week now Birmingham,
again has been buying scent bread.
After agitation which lasted for
months last winter and resulted in tho
final refusal of the city commissioners
to reduce the size of a loaf of bread
AS required by law from IA to IL
ounces. the bakers some two months
ago declared that they were forced to
take the other observation-disclosures
the price.
Consequently the bakers raised their
prices and the retailers then began
selling for cents loaves of bread they
had been selling for cents
For seven weeks tho bakers kept
this up. one by one dropping from the
ranks and going back to the scent
loaf for tho simple reason that tho
public fatty refused to buy their scent
loaf. Why no one exactly knows, but
1t Is generally believed that the odd
change had more to do with IL than
anything else. At any rate, while the
bakers are reticent. 1t Is known that
their business started falling off and
the longer 1t went the worse 1t got
People either stopped eating bread.
were baking their own or were supstt-
tutlnE COrnDreuu OF something else
That's when the Individual bakers de-
cided that 1t was better to make bread
to retail at cents than make no bread
| mt all and consequently one by one they
| came back to the scent basis until
| last week saw every baker in town
again making the scent bread.
This was the argument advanced by
City Commissioner James Weatherly
in his opposition to changing the ordi-
nance regulating the size of the loaf
of bread. He stated that had the COM
missioners changed the ordinance they
would have become responsible for tho
Increase in cost OF bread, while when
the bakers were forced TO advance their
prices they alone were responsible. Had
the commissioners agreed to the pleas
of the bakers to reduce the size OF tho
loaf required by law from IA TO IL
ounces, 12-ounce bread would now be
on the market at cents. while as it
is the bakers are now selling IA
ounce loaf at cents.
On this latter basis. however. the
bakers state they are making no money
They are merely trying to break even
with the hope of holding their busi-
ness and tidin gthings over until cheap
err flour and wheat relieve their situa-
ton. This they say they expect along
in August or the middle of the summer
when new wheat begins to have its
effect on the market The price they
are now selling to tho retailers Is
cents per IA ounce loaf

WANT TO USE WASTAGE AT
LOCK II TO MAKE POWER
Rumored That Interests Will Make Proposition the
Government With View of Supplying Birmingham With
Cheap Electricity Developments Expected Soon

cables it Is stated that Birmingham can
secure electric current at an astonishingls
low price. That the matter is being taken
up vigorously in Washington and thai
some developments will take place before
the city commissioners here within a few
weeks was information secured yesterday
from an authoritative source. 1t is stated
that fasteners are Interested in the prop
ositon By reason of the belief that power
can be sold here at rate which cannot
be met by the local power company.
1t was stated yesterday that the first
step to be taken after Washington had
agreed to the plan of utilizing the water
at Lock II would be to apply for a fran
chise In Birmingham. This. 1t is stated,
will be the programme. In the meantime
it is stated that j. NJ. Dewberry has a
franchise to supply Birmingham with cleo
trio power from the Warrior river and
that the New York interests behind the
new movement may have the rights OF
Mr.. Dewberry transferred to them. From
every indication there will develop here
some competition in the matter of cleo
trio supply.

COTTON HASSTEADY
 CLOSE AT DECLINE
Opening Lower In Response to Low Liverpool
 Gables

New York, May 26-Rather a sharp early break in the cotton market was partly recovered today with the close steady at net decline of 1 to points.
 The opening was 3 to points lower in response to easier Liverpool cables, and sentiment seemed to be unsettled by re- ports that the steamer Nebraskan had been either torpedoed or had struck a mine in the Irish sea and forced .o put back into port. This seemed to create ap- prehensions of further political compliea- tons. and probably served to restrict de- mand, while prices eased off under Liver pool.t New Orleans, western and scattered local selling. After the close of Liver pool the pressure was less active and the market steadied around 9.6oc for October. or about A points under the high level reached in the recent advance Buying power was limited and trading remained quiet during the late session. Last prices showed rallies of 6 or points from the lowest The weekly report of the weather bureau read about as expected. claiming that early planted cotton had been well cultivated and was up to good stands in all portions of the belt except Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas. but some such statement had been anticipated and was without any particular effect. Private ca bles attributed the decline in Liverpool to local pressure and some further hedge selling against diverted cotton, while later in the day advices were received to the effec. that labor troubles were developing in Lancashire, which might result in d lockout. This probably tended to check buying on the afternoon rally. which seemed chiefly due to realizing by recent sellers. Preliminary private reports from Alabama Mississippi and Louisiana read favorably. Exports for the day were q TIA bales. making 7.729.s2s so far this reason.
