Convention Will Be Held This
Morning at West End

of the American Library association,
made an address to the 80 or more mem
bers of the Alabama association and a
large Birmingham audience in the ball
room of the Tutwiler hotel last night at
O'clock
Illustrating the many cases of the lack
of knowledge of public libraries, he told
of young Greek messenger boy who
once called upon him in Chicago to de-
liver a package While waiting for the
papers it contained to be corrected and
ready for removal the messenger pro-
duced paper backed book and bega n
to read. Strongly suspecting it to be a
novel; Mr.. Utley was much amazed to
find it book upon modern Greece. He
became interested and suggested to the
boy that he procure books from the Ii
brary. blank look on the youths face
caused him to go into minute details of
how it was done, but he had difficulty
in convincing him that no charges were
made Mr. Utley took the boy over to the
library building and proved to him that
the books were there and that they were
free.
The address. which lasted for two hours
and was thoroughly enjoyed by it's lis
teners, followed the Introductory speech
made by DR.. Thomas Owen, president
OF the association, and the address by
John r. Hornady.
This morning at $50 the delegates will
meet at the West End library. The first
hour of the meeting will be of a business
nature. discussion of general circula-
ton work for adults and children will

PUT MEN TO WORK
ON NEW GOLF LINKS
City Is Not to Be Called
Upon to Spend Any
Money on Project

A number Of laborers will be put to
work on the municipal golf course next
Monday.
The entire lis acres of land will be
cleared of all rubbish and weeds and
grass seed will be sewed. The links have
been laid off for nine holes and all that
remains is to clear the land, provide a
clubhouse and lockers and turn one OF the
most beautiful parks in the south over
to the public.
Interest in the golf course and recrea-
ton grounds is steadily increasing
Scores of people are daily visiting the
grounds. The Idlewild car line runs to
the park and the ride does not consume
more than 20 minutes.
A meeting of citizens will be held some
time next week for the purpose of dis
cussing plans to build clubhouse In
the park The total cost Of constructing
such building and providing 1t with all
the necessary comforts will not exceed
$4,000 according to various architects.
The city is not paying cent towards
the perfecting of the Green Springs
course for a park and golf course. The
expense will be borne by the citizens OF
Birmingham and The Age-Herald.

MAINE SCHOOLBOYS ARE
GETTING RECORD CROPS.
Liberal Use OF Plant Food Assists
Them In Profitable Production.

Four hundred Maine schoolboys and
girls have been growing potatoes, rails
ing hens, cultivating vegetable gardens
and canning farm products under the
direction Of the Maine extension de
partment During the year 1915, 250
boys were enrolled In thirty potato
clubs, 18S girls in fifteen garden and
canning clubs and SO boys and girls In
nine poultry clubs
That the work will be enlarged and
more boys and girls enrolled during
the coming year and that the results
Will be even greater, Is predicted. One
boy In potato club raised 459 bushels
or potatoes at a cost of II cents per
busheL He also wrote the best essay
on potato growing. Through the keep

they are also stimulating their parents

They know that they must feed the soil

are well on the way to understanding

MIDDLE WEST FARMERS
DON'T KNOW NEW ENGLAND.
They Imagine Land Too Poor to Raise
Crops Of Any Sort.

The real truth about the worn out"
farms OF New England Is generally
unknown 70 the farmers Of the corn
belt. They have been led TO believe
that their farms are rich and that the
farms through the east and New Eng
land are depleted" OF their fertility.
IL the average corn belt farmer were
to take a trip through Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Rhode Island. Vermont or
Maine he would be so surprised that Il
Is questionable whether he would be-
lieve his own eyes.
Farmers In New England who are
good" farmers are better than the av-
erage farmer or even the good" farm.
er Of the middle west and those who
are poor" farmers are worse than the
poor farmers Of the corn belt With
the nearness to markets the eastern
farmers could and In many cases do
have great advantage over the mid
die western farmers. All that Is need
ed Is to proceed intelligently to build
up the soil. by better farming meth
ods. greater diversification OF crops
and the supplying Of available plant
food to enrich the soils and make large
