A Necessary
 Announcement

With and in this Sunday mornings issue of The Age-Herald. its advertis- ing rate is increased about 1A per cent. The Age-Herald Is forced to this in- crease of rate.
 It may become necessary to make a further increase within a short time.
 The Age-Herald believes that the progressive merchants and business men of Birmingham will uphold it and will stand with it in it's necessary &C., tion.
 The merchants of Birmingham are progressive, fair minded, practical ana patriotic. They are always willing to do the fair thing.
 Now, for an explanation:
 The Age-Herald for the past r years has been buying paper from one mill and paying $1.9o per hundred at the mill, plus freight to Birmingham, for it's paper supply. A month ago The Age-Herald was notified that the price would be $3.75 per hundred. but when
 
 s5.60 per hundred at the mill. The min had been bought overnight by an- other concern and an arbitrary price of s5.50 made. and even at that price, supply, was shipped. For ten days past the writer has been in New York and has bought a supply of paper for the next year, de- liveries beginning March IS.
 For the supply from January 15, when our stock on hand will be ex- hausted, The Age-Herald has been un- able to buy at any price supply to last for the two months intervening, but is promised bad paper at a very high price.
 Paper on which this issue is printed costs laid down in The Age-Herald office something more than cents a pound. These papers are sold to dis tributors who handle a thousand or more, as low as ? cents each, and to the newsboys at 21a cents each. This issue weighs nearly a pound, and the white paper alone in it costs The Age-Herald a fraction over D cents. The subscription price of The Age Herald was increased month ago from S6 to s & year. The protests against this increase were less than score.
 Tho writer personally saw about 20 of The Age-Heralds leading advertis- CTS yesterday and when the situation was explained to them. there was not a single protest against the increase in advertising rates. There will perhaps be none. because the great majority of advertising merchants, manufac- turers and business men of Birming- ham are made of the right sort of stuff E. W. BARRETT.

BAD BREAKS IN TORONTO

From the Montreal Star.
 Montreal has to suffer for Torontos sins, and possibly every other munich pality in Canada that hopes to give civic welcome to his excellency, the Duke of Devonshire. will have to do the same. Toronto made some awful breaks. and steps have been taken to see that the same gaucheries are not committed else where.
 Toronto itself admits the "breaks"-at least one Toronto paper does. It points out that Mayor Church referred to roy alty'' in his address to his excellency, that many insisted on shaking hands with him, that several called him your grace" that they pronounced his name with the accent on the last syllable, that one address very crudely referred to her excellency's age, and other faux pas along the same lines.
 The result of this, it is said. Is that steps have been taken by the proper au- thorities to see that the like does not oc- cur again.

A LITTLE FELLOW.

Little fellow with shining eyes,
 One of the Christmas throng, Gazing about him in sweet surprise
 While he toddles along. All the splendors of Toyland wait
 To bid him welcome there; And, oh, the joy in his heart fse great To behold such visions rare Brave red wagons and soldiers, too,
 Ships and auto cars, Trains that rumble into ones view
 And cannon that go to wars; Engines that send up cloud or steam While the whirling wheels go round And wonders surpassing poets dream In the realm of faery found. Little fellow with shining eyes
 Finds 1t hard to choose, Such an abundance around him lies,
 To puzzle and confuse But Santa can read his childish thought And the longing his looks betray; For such as he has the good saint wrought And the glory of Christmas day.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Birminrhlim and Jackson Highway

Birmingham has a great opportunity to route the Florida tourists through this city," said Mason J. billiard yesterday, simply by forming branch of the Jack son highway via Jasper and connecting with the main line at Russellvine.
 This would bring all Florida tourists down the Jackson highway, crossing the , Tennessee river on the big bridge at Florence, and by placing a big sign at the forks at Russellville, Birmingham Florida route, 1t will be advertising Bir- mingham and sending all Florida tour ists this way. They could also go to New Orleans via Montgomery and Mobile this Way, if desired.
 If we form the branch from Nashville via Huntsville and Birmingham the Flor ida tourists will go from Huntsville via Rome, Ga.
 This plan is being discussed along the Jackson highway from Nashville to Rus sellvlle. It seems the ideal route in my judgment and if adopted will be big success doing away with ferries. The dis tance is very nearly the same and in ad- dition this will give middle and south Alabama a highway to the great Muscle Shoals and north Alabama.
 At present the highway is completed to Jasper on the Bankhead highway and there is a very short link to complete be- tween Jasper and Russellville."

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

Every married woman feels sorry for some other woman's husband. And the average married man feels sorry for his wife's husband.
 The bathing suit problem for next summer is settled. She can take her last summers walking skirt and let out the hem and use it.
 The hungry looking suffragist may be anxious to enlarge her sphere But the corn fed girl is willing to stand pat. . The reason why your wife actse as if she owned you after you have had her for little while is because every old married woman tells every young mar ried woman that husband is an animal who requires constant bossing to keep him in line.
 One good thing about motorcycle Is that girl can't sit on the rear seat of it and gaze scornfully at pedestrians through lorgnette.
 If you could boil mess of potatoes and fry a steak by sitting in front of a player piano and working the pedals with your feet, nearly every princess would be able to cook.
 Wouldn't you just as soon shake hands with wet wash rag as with some of the clammy handed men you meet? You might as well keep your mouth shut. If you give a man advice and it doesn't come out the way he expects it to, he will spend the rest of his life blaming you for all or his troubles. Another reason why we admire corn feds is because we are for thes urivval of the fattest.
 The trouble with the lad who goes around spillng six and eight-cylinder words in his conversation is that he im- agines that he is smarter than you are. During courtship don't waste your time telling her that you are unworthy of her She won't believe it any more than you mean it.
 The old-fashioned girl who used to help mother do the dishes now spends her time in the garage helping father fix the car. The reason why woman doesn't worry because she has hardly any hair on her head when she is stopping around the house is because she knows that she

Business Lucrative

NO Christmas since 1912 will be as luc- ative to the many business houses or this city as this year." said A. R.

SANTA CLAUS GOES TO SEA

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 The Christmas ship that goes to Asia Minor stirs the imagination. It carries, instead of toys. 2000 tons of food and clothing, and medical supplies to the value of many thousands of dollars. Like the ships that went to Belgium-several from this port--it departs to a fervent welcome and profound thangskiving overseas. It goes to those whose days and nights hold no hope, no peace of mind or comfort of body. no prospect Of relief and no faith in human nature unless America puts forth her strong and saving hand Santa Claus goes about his work with sober visage this year. instead of laughing countenance. He needs an army of helpers, since other armies trod into the mire so many of

Public Library

'The unusual amount of interest taken in the public libraries during the past few months show that the people are realizing more each day that the great est source of information is to be gotten by reading the works of standard au- thors,' said Carl Milan, director Of the Birmingham public library system. Each month since June has shown a steady increase in the number of volumes taken away by the members of the associa- tion.
 'All that is necessary in order to pro- cure any book in the public library IS to be a resident of this city. Thousands of volumes of the most interesting books on fact and fiction are at the disposal of any citizen of this community. The recent campaign waged by the library in getting ybusiness men interested in the sort of books pertaining to their busi- ness has been very productive. The peo- pie of the United States are becoming greater readers daily. No county pos sesses as many well informed citizens as this country"

I NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE TROUBLE I OF NEWSPAPERS TO GET A PAPER SUPPLY,

l am told they knew of the peace overtures of Germany in advance and sold stocks short on the New York stock exchange immediately in ad- vance of the actual news, and that they made millions of dollars in the tumbling of the block house of the stock exchange.
 Now that they have made their pile. and as no one believes there is any prospect of immediate peace, good stocks will go up again; but the Ger man element of Wall street is the happiest looking lot one can encounter anywhere.
 Washington is thoroughly aroused over the prospects of becoming pro- hibition city. It appears that ma iority of both houses of Congress are
 
 willing to try prohibition out on the District of Columbia.
 The business people there are seri- ously alarmed, fearing that If the Un- to the people is adopted, it will carry a rider allowing the women to vote.
 And again. there Is real serious dan ger that this present congress before the 4th of March might pass nation al prohibition law.
 The prohibitionists are thoroughly organized and are flooding every con gressman with petitions from his dis trict, while the -prohibitionists have been doing but little
