LAND VALUES ADVANCING


Farm 4 Ranch:
The enormous Increase In land val
ues as reported recently by special
lists OF the United States Department
OF Agriculture should convince ten
ants OF the Importance OF buying a
small farm at the earliest time posi-
Bile. Al the present rate Of Increase II
will be n more difficult matter for the
tomoless man to buy and pay for
farms n few years hence.
Farm lands In the United States
without improvements. according to
statistics complied recently by the de-
partment OF agriculture is estimated
at 1855 per acre. A year ago the
average value was slO.s5 per acre.
The value estimated by the census OF
1910 was .32.iO per acre. when we
remember that land values were es-
timated at 1887 In 1900, we can
understand the rapid Increase,
Lands have increased In value dur
Ing recent years at about 8 per cent
per year, or approximately i2.00 per
acre every year. The Increase during
the last four years Is reported as fol.
lows: North Atlantic States, II per
cent; eastern part OF nova Central
states. 20 per cent; western part Of
North Central states 2S per cent;
South Atlantic States. 90 per cent;
Far Western States "a per cent En-
tire United States. 1851 per cent. The
census for 1910 gives land In Texas
at Sli.53 per acre. The value has
more then trebled during the last
decade.
II will be seen from the estimated
value OF land In Texas that there are
cheap lands yet to be had. The same
is true with other Southwestern
states. Some OF these lands are fer
tile. close enough to small markets,
schools. churches. roads. etc to be de-
slrRble for farms and homes.
But they will not remain cheap

The first presentation of Sam Davis'' brought forth a great deal of criticism. Many of the spectators advanced the ar gument that the scenes, especially the dea tn house and scaffold scenes, were too realistic for an entertainment, but the majority of the thousands who have viewed this great picture agreed with the author that these very scenes should be given with all the fidelity to their original enaction, because the calmness with which this mere boy chose the heros death rather than a traitors life is equaled in it's nobility only by the stirring example of Nathan Hale. T would rather die a thousand deaths than betray a friend or give the name of my informant" These, the last words uttered by the south's boy hero, bring back the final ut terance of the immortal Hale
 Since this picture was first shown edu- cators, clergymen and public officials have pronounced it great tribute to the memory of the youth whose deeds and sacrifice are irradcably engraved upon the tablets of posterity.

Rogers Clinton Woodruff
 to Address Social Workers
Social Service Department ey MRS. SIDNEY N. ULLMAN

Birmingham has been honored lately with many distinguished visitors, but probably none of them have a wider reputat tion in municipal and governmental affairs than MT. Rogers Clinton Wood ruff
 Mir Woodruff is the secretary of the National Municipal league, that numbers in it's body five Birmingham citizens John l.. Kaul, M. S. Sloan, George B. Ward John B. Weakley and James Weatherly.
 The Social Workers association feels that it is very fortunate in having se cured MT. Woodruff for lecture and is using it's regular monthly meeting a nucleus, extending an invitation through this medium to all interested citizens The luncheon will be held at the Hill man hotel, in the ballroom 12:30, February : Saturday., Senator Frank s. White will preside MT. Woodruff's subject will be- "A New Conception of Civic Life"
 In speaking of this distinguished visi- tor, City Commissioner Hornady made the following very flattering statement in reference to MT. Woodruffs visit:
 "The pesence of MT. Woodruff will give the men of Birmingham an opportunity to hear a discussion of municipal prob lems by one who is peculiarly gifted in this line. MT. Woodruff is one of the foremost thinkers upon this subject, and what he has to say should be of great interest to Birmingham citizens. This city is confronted with difficulties and problems of extraordinary magnitude and the views of one so well qualified to discuss matters of this character should prove of great value.
 "I believe MT Woodruff will be heard by large number of thoughtful citizens, because the great majority of people here have shown a lively interest in the subject of municipal government, and the basis of this interest is gen. uine desire to improve conditions. MT. Woodruff has devoted the best part of his life to matters of this kind, and those who hear him will be better qualified for approaching the problems with which this city is confronted.
 MT. Woodruff has been honored by practically every organization of a gen

GERMAN U BOAT MAY
 BE OFF AMERICA
(Continued from Page One)

Bahama Islands, or a submarine might be supplied by neutral merchantmen sailing from American ports. This lat ter possibility, involving a breach of American neutrality, will receive the attention of the secret service agents of the government.
 NEW AMERICAN BOATS
 Submarines of the American H-boat class have normal cruising radius of about $500 miles, and with air tanks filled with reserves of oil could almost double that mileage boat of this type, built for the British government and assembled in Canada, is known to have travelled from the north Atlantic coast to Malta without stopping her engines. The newest coast defense craft now being planned will have a nor nal radius of nearly 5000 miles.
 The commander of the f1otilla of K boats which recently went from San Francisco to Honolulu under their own power, reported at the conclusion of the trip that they could have travelled to the limit of their fuel capacity about 4000 miles-at sustained speed of 13 knots an hour.
 There have been many rumors of sub- marine bases established on the Ameri- can or Canadian coasts, but nothing definite ever developed. Investigations by the navy radio service as to possi- ble secret radio plants co-operatins with the U-boats revealed no irregu- larities.
