The local fire department had one of the
busiest days in its history today. The
cold weather having forced the people

HAVING TROUBLE

Il must admit that your information
to the effect that, due to the weevil and
the floods, our crop this year is less than
% per cent of normal and that the over
flowing of the Warrior river wiped out
most of the best corn as we'll as other
grain crops in our section. The so saw
mills in Tuscaloosa county, and an even
greater number in our adjoining coun-
ties have thousands of cars of lumber
lying on their yards which cannot be
moved for want of cars:
But things are by no means as bad
as you might imagine. We are not hay-
ing any boom times, but we are adjust
ing ourselves to the situation. The farm
ers, with their crops wiped out, are max
ing some money in other ways. They
are clearing land and selling timber.
They are renting their teams to milling
companies, or are cutting and hauling
logs to the mills. Others are taking lum.

TUSCALOOSA COUNTY
MEETING SITUATION
Frank M. Moody Tells How
Farmers Make Good
ARE PAYING UP DEBTS
In Spite of Boil Weevil and Floods
They Are Finding Ways to
Make Money
ARE PAYING UP DEBTS

Optimism and conservative banking
were formerly considered antipodal.
But bankers, in this respect have pro-
crossed just as have railroad station
agents in the matter Of treatment of
patrons.
1t now frequently happens that a sue
cessful banker, despite the war, the boil
weevil and the floods, really looks upon
the bright side of things and has the
temerity to admit that conditions not only
look good for some far ditsant date, but
are really not 80 bad right now.
Such a man is Frank M. Moody of the
First National bank of Tuscaloosa, who
was In Birmingham for few hours yes
terday. In matters of finance and bank
ing, he is no novice, hence his words
come as those of an authority.
Yes. 1t is a fact that the boil weevil
has entirely overrun Tuscaloosa county
and west Alabama, which was one OF the
great cotton producing sections Of the
state said Mr.. Moody to q representa-
tive of The Age-Herald who had pre-
desolation. ut is a fact that most OF the
farmers in our section suffered terrific
losses when their bumper cotton crop OF
1914 sold for less than the actual cost of
