TOMORROW IS FINAL
 CLEANUP DAY FOR THE CIVIC CHAMBER
Committee Will Go Over Prospects Again and Ex- pect to Add From 250 to
 300 New Members

Workers in the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce membership campaign will resume work tomorrow after a lay-off of almost 10 days, and are expected to add from 250 to 300 members to the list. It will be the final "clean-up' day of the campaign.
 From all parts of the state and from other states, Birmingham has been praised for the great showing made in the membership campaign. From a view point of population, the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce promises to create a record for the strength of it's organiza- tion.
 President Crawford Johnson and Chair man J.. Frank Rushton have made a special appeal to the workers to show the same interest and enthusiasm in tomor- rows work as was shown the other days of the canvass.
 There are enough good prospects left to give us SO additional members, said Mr. Johnson. ''It is just question of reaching them. The wider and stronger we make our membership. the better work we can do. and the stronger influence our organization will have. No time will be lost in getting the new organization under way. and we are going to work continuously to keep things going in all lines for the Great Birming- ham,"
 Following the "clean- up day, no time will be lost getting the new organza- ton under way and the officials of the chamber hope that every member will attend the general membership meeting and free smoker to be held Tuesday even ing, December ', at which time the new organization will be effected and officers elected.
 President Crawford Johnson has sent out the following letter of invitation to a number of prospects who have not yet signed up their application for member ship:
 'Ir checking up the members of the re- organized Chamber of Commerce, I am disappointed that your name does not appear. Perhaps you were out of your of flee or out of town when the teams called on you.
 Tn about 10 days meeting of the en- tire membership will be held for the pur- pose of completing our organization, and for the formation of the business council, in which every line and profession in Bir- mingham will have direct representation want to have your membership before that date, and desire your attendance and help at the meeting. There has been criticism in the past that few were doing everything in the Chamber of Commerce. We are trying
 hard to avoid this criticism in the reor- ganized chamber. and 1t is up to you to aid us in thlS effort I am counting on you.
 Kindly fill out the inclosed member ship application blank. place it in the self-addressed envelope and drop in the return mail. Cordially yours, CRAWFORD JOHNSON. President

GIVES OUT FACTS
 ON BOND ISSUE

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In yesterdays Ase-Herald reference was made to the auditorium bond issue last year. and the fact of the proposed bond issue having been held invalid by the court.
 As matter of fact. when the commit tee from the Chamber of Commerce. first called on the city attorney in reference to such a bond issue the committee was advised by the city attorney that the city. at that time probably lacked the necessary authority to Issue such bonds, out in view of an existing coubt the board finally consented to proceed in the matter so as to give the Chamber of Commerce an opportunity to test the question.
 Of course. as is well known, the last legislature amended the laws so as to au- thorize an auditorium bond issue If the voters at sn election held for that pur- pose should so decide. Yours very truly, ROMAINE BOYD.

merit alone. as she is not given to 'poli- ticking, and will let her advertisements speak for themselves on the night of the convention.
 Mrs, Leake said yesterday that she had never heard of more attractive method of disposing of prize to advertisers.
 II think it is a wonderfully planned idea to give the player piano to all the advertisers in The ge-Herald, and then let them decide by vote which one among them shall receive it. said Mrs. Leake. "It is another evidence of The Age-Heralds progressiveness, and I be- neve the advertisers will appreciate it.
 An unusually good feature of it is that it will afford more amusement than any minstrel show, or any other kind of theatrical production that can come to the Jefferson this season. It will give an insight into the methods employed at regular political conventions, for, understand the rules of the national democratic convention will prevail. and this will be of more than usual interest to large number of people.
 'T have no doubt but that The Age Herald will be hard put to it to secure a convention hall large enough to accom- modate it's convention of advertising writers. I will be there, and I hope I'll have enough friends there to secure the player-piano. It is handsome prize, and one worth working for
 Mrs. Leake writes the advertising for a number of live firms. all of whom are Age-Herald advertisers. She has attain ed national prominence for her clever ideas for advertisements and the attrac- tiveness of their appearance in The Age- Herald and in other publications. Through her work as secretary of the Birmingham Retail Furniture Dealers as- socaton. she has become known in cities throughout the United States for the law governing removals in operation here which has been copied by a large num- Der of cities throughout the country.
 Mrs. Leake will have a strong follow ing at the Advertisers convention, and her supporters are grooming themselves for a real fight If any dark horse' shows signs of getting anywhere within nine lengths of her as the finish draws near.

mail, as was evidenced yesterday when Dr. Eaves received a letter from a man in Greensboro who evidently thought he was very humorous. It was in response to a personal letter from Dr. Eaves. which asked the man to use his personal influence in forward ing the sale of seals. The Greensboro citizen wrote Dr. Eaves simply: Send me the personal influence" he said Nothing more Another man in the same city of the same name, but with diff ferent initials, replied to personal letter from pr. Eaves, which asked for a money subscription, in much the same manner. "Send me the money subscription" his letter said
 There are pathetic letters. too, in the mail and letters the brevity of which carries a lesson fraught with deep meaning.
 One letter mailed to a certain city In the state was returned to Dr. Eaves small piece of white paper pinned to Dr Eaves' letter read:
 "The addressee died of tuberculosis in September"
 Dr. Eaves' letter had asked him to buy Red Cross seals to help in the fight being waged against the disease.
 Several stenographers are busy all day at 1912 Empire building, where the Anti Tuberculosis league has opened offices to direct the selling of the Red Cross seals, and that the sale in Jefferson county will reach the l. 500 900 mark Is not doubted. Dr. Eaves urges that every man who has occa- sion to mail letter affix a Red Cross seal on the back thereof.
 In order to sell 100000 seals it will be necessary that there be a per cap ita sale of about six seals in this city In other words, six Red Cross seals must be bought for each man, woman and child in Birmingham In order to insure the sale reaching the desired amount.

chairman of one of our groups is going to read you account of what was done by that committee. It will show you what vigorous and concerted action and the county plan of organization can accomplish. County organization and county meetings held all during the spring months and up to planting time in 1916, would. undoubtedly, bA very effective, and I believe that if you and your association will join us in an effort of this kind, we may accomplish a great good and save many millions for the south. There is nothing sensa- tional about this programme. It Is . purely common sense matter; the facts have been given to you time and again by the department of agriculture and by the federal reserve board. It seems to me that 1t is now squarely up to the bankers of the south to join with these great federal agencies and assist them in bringing about these much needed reforms.

If possible. con suit with members of your executive committed so that you may come to the New Orleans meeting prepared. in some measure to commit your association tC the plan of organization which we hcpe to adopt.

CROP DIvERSIFICATION

The conference hopes to start a gen eral campaign in every cotton produc- ing state for the continuation of crop diversification, which meant so much to the south this year. Dr. Bradford Knapp, in charge of the demonstration work, United States department of az rieuiture, will deliver an important ad- dress at the meeting. In recent ad- dress Dr. Knapp made the statement that if southern bankers and mer- chants would refuse to extend credit to farmers except on the basis of the farmer making himself as nearly as pos sible self-supporting, 1t would be the greatest possible step toward a per- manent and prosperous agriculture in the south
 AS chairman of this conference. I would like to see southern bankers take firm stand and base their 1916 credit to farmers upon absolute agree ments to plant specified acreage in feed and food crops There is absolute ly no doubt that if country bankers and country merchants would refuse credit except upon such conditions it would insure our farmers raising sufficient amount of feed to take care of their stock and food to take care of their families during the year 1916. and thus by automatically reducing the cotton acreage. would insure a good price for the 1916 cotton crop. But, in my judg- ment. unless some vigorous measure of this kind is adopted. southern farmers generally. are going to revert to the 'all-cotton' crop in 1916. The depart ment of agriculture is urging us, as bankers and business men. to cooperate with them in the effort to cure the one crop evil. This matter, gentlemen, rests largely in the hands of southern bank CTS. I believe that, setting out with the first of January, 1916. we should call meetings of bankers and country mer- chants in every county seat of every state in the south. I think that each state association should appoint spe- cial committee to take carge of this work and that, in addition. each state should have special committee on cot ton warehouses. You know that we have a committee of this kind in the Texas Bankers association. and the
