Beard. It has been means of dis

nent organization for the promotion and
building of the Memphis, Birmingham
and Atlanta highway.
A number of other probate judges in
counties interested in the building of this

and they have appointed delegates.
R. A. Carreker, vice president of the
st. Clair county branch of the highway
association, writes that a large delega-
ton will attend from that county. AL
ready citizens are volunteering labor and
money to build that section of the road
from Leeds to Pell City. 1t is expected

FAIR EXHIBITS TOBE
PLACED THIS WEEK
Women's Department, Live
Stock and Free Acts Will
Be Attractive

Fair exhibitors are expected to begin
placing their exhibits before the end of
the present week and President r. A.
Brown of the Alabama State Fair asso-
citation is of the opinion there will be
no hitch whatever in his, 'on-time' pro-
gramme for the fair. The workmen are
progressing in getting the grounds into
shape for the exhibitors and word from
Secretary Sam H. Fowlkes last night was
to the effect that placing of exhibits
would start this week. Mrs. j. B. Reid,
in charge of the woman's department of
the fair, stated yesterday that her build
Ing would be ready before the fair opened
Mrs. Reid has planned extensive decora-
tons for the womans building, and will
have workmen in the building be-
fore the end of the week getting it
into shape for the exhibits. Space al
ready has been marked off for the exhibit
tors and large amount of women's
work soon will be on display throughout
the building. Mrs. Reid says the ex-
hibits' this year promise to far exceed
anything ever seen at the Birmingham
fair, and she is enthusiastic over the
prospects.
Secretary Fowlkes of the fair associa-
ton is especially enthusiastic over the
tifO SWIM CAiibll, dlio HC says cHtIlcS
for this exhibit already exceed previous
fairs. The percentage of blooded stock
this year is larger than ever before.
Secretary Fowlkes attributing this to the
active work that has been done in Jeffer-
son county in tick eradication work.
President Brown is enthusiastic over the
amusement features and he believes them
to be far in advance of anything the
association has been able TO procure in
former years. The fireworks display
alone, he says, will be worth the price
of admission. The fair association will
spend $1,000 nightly on fireworks alone
and a complete change of programme
every night has been announced. The
stereotyped spectacle will have no place
at this years fair, but President Brown
says there will be something far better.
President Brown also is enthusiastic
over the free acts which will be a daily
attraction. There are II of these and he
says they all are of standard seldom
seen at fairs. Tt will be a circus, vaude-
vile and legitimate show all in one.

PATHFINDERS TO TOUR
2 JACKSON HIGHWAY
ROADS THROUGH STATE
Decision Between North Alabama
Mississippi and Direct Alabama
Routes Slated for October

The Jackson highway pathfinders
will leave Nashville Monday for an
other trip over the proposed route
for the national highway that is to ex-
tend from the Great Lakes to the Gulf
of Mexico, according to a letter re-
ceived by the Birmingham Chamber of
Commerce from President P. L. Ath-
erton of the association.
The pathfinders, Emory G. Dent OF
Kentucky. Walter II. Grim and w. L.
Brown of Indiana, accompanied by
Government Engineer r. E. Toms and
w K. Gibbs of the Motor Age and
possibly two or three others, will
leave Nashville, making the trip south
over the proposed Mississippi route,
branching off from the main road at
Columbia, Tenn, thence by way CT
Florence, Tuscumbia and Russellville,
through Mississippi to New Orleans.
They will return by the Alabama route,
through Birmingham
These are the same pathfinders and
the same engineer who made the 9TH
er trips over these proposed routes.
Alabama and Mississippi are making
strong fights for the location of this
highway. The Alabama delegation at
the Nashville meeting last year split
up on the route of this road, letting
Mississippi get in on the lead. Ac-
ton, however, was deferred until next
month, when the pathfinders will again
inspect the two proposed routes and
see what progress was being made in
the matter of preparation for the high
way.
Alabama, it is understood, is pre-
pared to make a strong fight for the
highway, but there are certain condi-
lions in the agreement that have not
been carried out by this state. Still.
regardless of this fact, good roads en-
thusiasts claim that Alabama must
have the edg on the sister state from
the fact that by way of Decatur, Gull
man, Birmingham, Montgomery and
Mobile is the most direct route from
Nashville to the coast, therefore would
be the most economical The geo.
graphical survey shows this route to
be the more direct. but the drawing OF
the highway map gives the Missis-
sippi route the advantage.

TWO COAL CONCERNS
CALLING FOR LABOR
Alabama Fuel and DeBar-
deleben Companies Scour-
ing District for Men

The exodus of the unskilled laborer has
not been appreciably felt by the large
industries in the Birmingham district. In
some quarters the executive heads report
that there is a slight shortage in the
supply of unskilled workers. However.
the number leaving the larger compa-
MES to find employment in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia is considerable. when
the combined losses of the local compa-
MES are totaled
Men well informed on the condition Of
labor in the Birmingham district esti-
mate that there is work for fully 400
negro laborers. In some instances coal
companies are employing agents to find
mine workers for the coal industry in
the environs of Birmingham.
The Alabama Fuel and Iron company
is as much concerned with the shortage
OF labor as of coal cars, being in need
of 40 unskilled laborers immediately
The car shortage. having eased up
slightly during the past few days the
coal operators find themselves in a per-
picking situation.
The labor shortage is serious said
w. C. Adams, sales manager for the
ALABAMA fuel ana iron company. He
ports that negroes have sought work
broadcast are evidently somewhat off. I
should estimate that the Alabama Fuel
and Iron company could give employment
to fully $50 laborers for mine operations.
We have been in the market to procure
workers of this class for sometime. in
fact, we have even employed agents TO
land them. In view of the difficulty that
we have had in getting these men. I am
sure that persons Issuing reports that the
district is overlooked with an influx Of
unskilled laborers is misinformed.
While | am not in a position to speak
for the other interests in this district,
understand that other companies are in
need of labor. There is no doubt, in my
mind. but that there is a demand for
this labor, rather than a surplus of mea.
1t is not necessary for the negro to go TO
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other
points to find employment
The same condition is reported from
another source.
The labor shortage is acute" said ].
w. Kennedy of the DeBardeleben Coal
company. I'VE are getting cars suffi-
cient, but are finding it almost impos-
sble to employ labor for our mines. The
outlook is alarming.
Negro laborers are leaving the district
by hundreds While it is true that other
districts pay no higher wages than paid
here, the inducement of ride on a free
pass to West Virginia or Pennsylvania
appears to be a powerful incentive for
our labor to seek these fields.
THE DeBardeleben Coal company
wants laborers and wants them badly

BELGIAN SOLDIER, NOW
WAR PRISONER, WRITES
POSTAL TO AGE-HERALD

text of the card. which is written in a
good hand, and in English:
THE CARD
Dear Sir-Allow me to write YOU this
card for asking you if you would not
have the Kindness to insert in your COL
umns newspaper a small advertisement
wherein you should put that I should
like to sell rings in your country. Being
interned for long time and not knowing
how to spend my time | am making
rings but am not able to sell them here
I believe there are some people in your
country who would like to have a re-
membrance of this war. If they wish to
have an aluminium ring made in the camp
they have to send 100 cents and will re-
ceive a nice one. Being for the moment
not able to pay for the cost of my ad-
vertisement. 1 will do it later on or if
you wish / would make you an aluminium
inkstand of grand value. Hoping my
little request will be fulfilled, I conclude
with my best regards in thanking YOU
in advance. I am dear sir yours truly,
ARTHUR BIMBOSCH."
The above is all the information con-
tanned on the post card. There are some
who may conjecture as to the reason Mr.
Llmbosch should write all the way 10
Alabama to ask the people to buy his
rings. At any rate he is probably a
whole lot worse off than most of the
readers of this story, and inasmuch as he
wished his request granted it is hoped
this article will be sufficient to let him
know The Age-Herald is for him.
If you want a ring as memento of
the war, all that is necessary is to write
Arthur Limbosch, Belgian soldier in
termed Second Coast artillery. Shed IS,
Camp l., Zeist. Holland" And if YOU
should do this, don't fail to let Mr. Linn
bosch know that you read his adver-
tisement in The Age-TIerald
