Work of Appraisenent
 Board Is IndOrSed

Talks were made by George B. Ward, president of the city commission; Dr. R.
 r. Lovelady. president of the county beard of revenue; Hugh McGeever, mem-
 Der of the board of revenue, and others,
 heartily indorsng the work of the ap- praisement committee of the Birmingham
 Real Estate exchange. at the weekly luncheon last weeitsat the Tutwiler hotel.
 Another feature of the meeting was
 the adoption of resolution asking that
 the state geological department not be abolished President Hill Ferguson pre- sided. Among the visitors of the ex-
 change at the luncheon were:
 George B. Ward. president city com
 mission: Dr. Lovelady. Hugh McGeever
 and Rufe Biffins, members of the board
 Of revenue; w. R. Baughman, campaign
 manager of the farm diversification move ment, and Rev. Thomas F.. Hay, D. D. President Hill Ferguson introduced the following resolution, which was unani- mousy adopted:
 Whereas. A bill has been introduced in the senate of the legislature looking to the abolition of the geological department of the state of Alabama.
 1
 Therefore, be 1t resolved, By the Bir-
 mingham Real Estate exchange that we are heartily opposed to the above men tioned measure for the following reasons: l. What soil survey is to the agricul- tural interests of the state, a geologica survey is to the mining and industrial interests.
 There Is difference, however. "A soil survey when once made is completed, but a geological survey is never finished. Whenever possible records are kept of every test hole which is put down and every well which is drilled in order to show the depth of various strata. Tn the very nature of the work, additional
 date must be added constantly and rec ords kept for the benefit of the public. g. Every man who has had anything 1 to do with the mining interests of Ala l ham claims that the geological depart ment of the state has been of nestinlable advantage in giving information which Justified him in going ahead with big 1 expenditures. .ss
 Every legitimate real estate man who
 has made sales of mining mineral
 lands, or who will hereafter make them,
 has based his arguments on the data 1 found in the geological reports.
 | Every farmer and every land owner
 in the mineral sections of the state
 wants to know. or should want to know,

nize generally is that womans hap piness depends on trifles. Tha perfect husband will never omit a kiss. never forget birthday. never neglect the little bunch of flowers that gives his wife pleasure. These attentions show thoughtfulness and a steady affection; they are the crumbs of love that sus- tain woman through the monotony and dullness of her home life.
 A married couple at their best are comrades. The. husband, enjoys most of the society of his wife at home. and abroad Each works for the other; the prizes of the husbands industry arc carried home in triumph to his wife : the wife's busy hand and. brain work to give pleasure to her husband

A Chinese Joins U. s. Navy

From tho St. Louis Globe Democrat. @
 Denver. Col.-Lumkow Wah, a Denver Chinese, has joined the United States navy. He is said to be the first mem Der Of the yellow race thus recognized. He Is an American citizen and when his application was made to the local naval recruiting station the officers were non plussed.
 United States District Attorney Ted row was asked for an opinion. He looked UP the record of the young Chinese and found that under the law Wah was en- titled to enlist in the navy. Wah's father, at the time of the birth of the Denver Chinese. was living in Hawaii, and had become a citizen through the laws gov erning the island.
 Wah Is 19 years old, unusually bright and ambitious. He left today for San Francisco and will be assigned to duty on his arrival there.

Gold Production Decreasing

For each of us there was mined in the United States last year 1s cents worth of gold and 70 cents worth of sil- yer. Five years ago a trifle more than dollars worth of gold was produced. which was the banner crop of the yellow metal. Since then this country has re- ceded in It's gold output $l1O00. 900. Actu- ally, however. it does us no more good to dig 90 cents worth of gold from the earth than to raise an equal amount of corn, cotton or potatoes from the earth. We could buy gold with apples and hay just as well as we can buy apples and hay with gold.
