CALHOUN FARMERS ARE DIVERSE DemOnstratOr Returns from
 Tour of County With
 Encouraging Reports

Anniston, January 3-(SpeciaI.)-L. G. Prentice, who was recently elected farm demonstrator of Calhoun county, has re- turned from @ tour of the county and states that he has been very agreeably surprised at the large number of planters in this section who are diversifying their crops and raising food products as a preparatory measure for tho war on the boil weevil which was recently discov- cred in this section.
 Although his automobile was only re- gently received, MT. Prentice has covered 390 miles in the county by road and 70 miles by rail- He has spent 22 days in the field, four in his office and has visited 25 farms in the county.
 Every part of the county will be wis., ited by MT. Prentice in his campaign for diversifcation. This week he has meet ings scheduled for Wednesday at Will Hams school; Thursday afternoon at Nances Creek church; Friday afternoon at Weaver, and Saturday afternoon at Jacksonville He delivers public lectures and makes demonstrations at each place he visits.
 In addition to the work done among the farm men by MT. Prentice, Mrs. Ilah Williams Polhill is doing an equally good work among the Tarm women ana SlrlS of Calhoun county, and Prof. Russell s. King of the Oxford State High school is conducting an effective campaign for rural economy.
 w. A. White, dean of the faculty of the Alabama Presbyterian college, stated yesterday in the absence of President E. D. McDougall, who spoke in Birming- ham Sunday morning that students are returning by nearly every train for the reopening of the college Tuesday and that the indications are that there will be material increase in the enrolment this month.
 w. c. LeGrand game warden for Cal houn county stated today that the hunt CTS of this section are very dilatory about taking out their 1916 licenses, and that he will conduct rigid campaign against all persons who violate the law in this re- spect as all licenses for last year ex- pired at the end of December.
 Charles Heron, driver of Anniston auto fire truck for the Daniel Tyler company, believes that he has made a record by having driven the car for one year at an expense of only s7S.15.

Year 1916 Expected to See Most Impressive Develop
 ments in Whole Country
BANKING INCREASE
 IN THE NORTHWEST
Traction Leaders Take Different Views of the Ultimate Result of Jitneys on Rail
 Traffic
By HOLLAND

New York, January Especial )-In the year 1916 there are in all proba- bility to be two commercial trade and industrial activities which are likely to be chief among our undertakings of that kind. One of these is the de- velopment of South American trade along lines which will tend to insure permanence and increase. Already our exports to South America have made a new record for year and so great a record that the money value of these exports is substantially 100 per cent greater than the like value of the exports of the year 1914.
 The American International corpor- stion, which was chartered and or ganized late in the autumn, is expect ed considerably to stimulate South American commerce with us in 1916 and also to finance some of the lead ing South American nations.
 But it is observed that some of those who are looking ahead are inclined to think that the most impressive of the developments of the year 1916 will be made in the southern states. Capital is being sought and is probably to be furnished in considerable amounts for the creation of electric energy by means of southern water power. Until the war in Europe began, French and Canadian capital was chiefly tempted to investments and undertakings Of this kind But the United States is to have abundant capital for investment in large domestic undertakings, and one of the most favorable opportuni- ties of this kind is believed by men of experience to be offered by some of the southern states. This morning one of those who have invested large sums in copper properties in Arizona spoke with enthusiasm of the prospect of in- dustrial and commercial growth in the southern states, intimating that if he had not already become exclusively in the copper industry he would have been tempted to invest some of his capital in southern prop critics. To use his own words: With in the next 10 or 15 years the south will rank in prosperity, in industrial, agricultural and commercial activity and in wealth producing resources with any other section of the union. I am sure that we shall get demon stration of what awaits the south when the record of the year 1916 is made up."

COLUMBUS CENSUS OF MANUF ACTURES Data Issued by National Bureau at Washington
 Is Interesting

Washington, January 3.-(Special.)- LA preliminary statement of the general re- suits of the census of manufactures for Columbus. Miss, has been issued by Di- rector Sam l.. Rogers of the bureau of the census, department of commerce. It was prepared under the direction of MT. William M. Steuart, chief statistician for manufacturers.
 The figures are preliminary and sub ject to such change and correction as may be found necessary from a further examination of the original reports.
 The census excluded the hand trades, the building trades, and the neighborhood Industries, and took account only of es- tablishments conducted under the factory system. Statistics were not collected for establishments having products for the census year valued at less than $500, ex- cept that reports were taken for establish ments idle during portion of the census year. or which began operation during that year, and whose products for such reason were valued at less than $500
 It is estimated that population of Co., lumbus on July 1, 1914, was 1OO5S.
 Following is summary of bureau s data on Columbus:
 Number of establishments ........ 27 Persons engaged in manufactures. 1,136
 Proprietors and firm members. "A

A CORN EXPOSITION

Another report which has come from the Minneapolis district tells of an ex- position which will furnish visible evil dence of the magnitude of the Indian corn harvests of the northwest. The govern ment at Washington reported late in the fall that there had been some falling off in the Indian corn harvest of the north west this year, and that if the harvest had been an average one there the entire United States would probably have made a new record instead of second-best record as was the cast last year. The exposition is understood to be due to the suggestion made by James J. Hill and to his sponsorship of this visible evidence of what the states-some of which were brought in as territories of the United States through the Louisiana purchase, some through the Mexican purchase and two Oregon and Washington, by means of diplomacy with Great Britain-haye been able to do in the way of agriculture since the opening of the Pacific railroads. Much of this demonstration reflects agri- cultural enterprise of the past 30 years. In that sense 1t is new. The harvests of the northwest and other industries estab- lished there since the railroads opened up the country have now for some years yielded new wealth vastly in excess of the entire cost of the construction of these

LARGEST BANKING INCREASE

Reports from the ninth federal re serve district of which Minneapolis is the center, tell what from some points of view is the most striking evidence of the increase in banking resources made by any of the banks in the Uni ted States within two years. This re- port announces that the bank of St. Paul which is best known-at least in the east-as James J. Hills bank, has now deposit line of $5O,O00,000. Two years ago the report made by this hank told of deposits of S12,O0O,0O0. Had the National City bank of New York, now listed among the seven greatest banks of the world made an increase in deposits proportionate to the in crease gained by the Hill bank of St. Paul in two years, its deposit line would have been in excess Of S1oo'- ,Oo0. This report confirms many that have come to New York, some as long ago as last spring, which have told of phenomenal deposits in the banks of the far west ana especially @1 tl,xx

However, lest you think that it is ali the story--it isn't. Fate was on the job as frequently in the West as ever she is North.
