LEADING LADY TO
SELECT CHAPERON

The leading lady will be given the privl-
lege of selecting a chaperon to accom-
pany the five young ladies on their two
weeks trip to Chicago, to the studio of
the Essanay company, where the motion
picture play will be produced. All the
expenses of the trip to Chicago will be
paid by The Age-Herald.
Never before has any Birmingham paper
offered an opportunity of this kind to it's
readers. The fact that the five winning
candidates will actually be given an op-
portunity to show their talent before one
of the leading producers of motion pic
ture plays, the Essanay company. has a
value that money cannot purchase.
There is nothing complicated about this
campaign. 1t is simply a matter of Sc
curing votes and these can be obtained
from just two sources. One is by clipping
the one-vote coupons from each issue of
The Age-Herald and the other and most
important sources is on the subscription
payments, as is shown In the schedule
published daily. Where votes are allowed
on subscriptions, the money must accom-
pany the order That is in order to Sc
cure votes on subscriptions they must be
paid in advance

VISITORS VISIT
LOCAL MERCHANTS

The merchants spent all of yesterday
morning visiting the local wholesale mer-
chants placing their fall orders, and the
many wholesale firms of the city report
that they did rushing business The
delegates to the convention always have
been in the habit of placing their fall or
ders with the local merchants, and this
year has been no exception. Thousands
of dollars worth of goods have been con-
tracted for in the last two days. and no
doubt much more business will be placed
by the delegates this morning
Yesterday afternoon the great majority
of the delegates went to Redwood Field
and saw the double heacer ball game be-
tween Birmingham and Little Rock. They
were conspicuous ana swelled the ball
park crowd to great dimensions. A
great many of them also are real fans
and they rooted and drank pop and ate
peanuts as If they were having the best
time of their lives.
The speaking at the Bijou began at 8
o'clock sharp last night and when Mr..
Harding was introduced the house was
packed with people a great many of
whom were local people and people froSA
out of town. but who were not connected
with the merchants association, as the
meeting had been thrown open to the
public.

Mir. Brown. more than 100 years ago, was an importer of linens at Balti- more. from which port was sent much of the tobacco exported from the United States in his day.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
 ON NEED OF HOG SERUM
To the Editor of The .Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The sAge-Herald.
 In this mornings Age-Herald there is letter addressed to you from Mir. I. W. McAdory. in which he says there is no use to advise raising hogs so long as cholera serum cannot be produced and se- cured in this state
 From experience I can say that Mr. McAdory is wrong in advocating any such idea as this and I dare say this one ar tiele will do q great deal of harm, for there are so many people that will now stand back on the hog raising proposition because they will be afraid they will have the same luck as MT. McAdory
 Now. I want to say that we can raise hogs and rase them cheaply, if we get at 1t in the right way. I have this past year raised and sold over 100 head of hogs and now have 26 little pigs and 10 sows that will farrow in short while. These pigs and sows are doing we'll on bur clover and cats sown early last fall. and more crops will be planted for them in the spring to take care of them during the summer, with Bermuda grass to fall back on.
 NY HoS pasture IS ulNlueu Into Tour fields, each of these fields opening into a lane that leads to a small grove of cedar trees. In this grove of cedar trees have built a concrete hog wallow in which there Is a solution of 75 parts water and 1 part kreso Dip No. l. for these hogs to wallow in. This is all of the water these hogs can get to. except at trough where they can find clean fresh water to drink
 My hogs go to this concrete wallow and lay about in it with the water completely covering them at times. The Kreso dip in the water kills all of the vermin on them and of course they swallow little of the solution which acts as worm de- stroyer also.
 The above is the secret of hog raising and the prevention of cholera Make the hog be clean even if he is inclined to be dirty animal. Give him good grazing also, which prevents constipation, and you will not need any serum. Bury all animals that die about the farm and you will not have any buzzards, for they are only scavengers and will stay away if things are kept clean. If they are allowed to come around they will spread cholera through their droppings
