.1916A TEST YEAR
 FOR STORE BUYERS
Leo Loeb and Corps of Store Buyers Have Returned
 From New York

s.This is the kind of year that proves the ability of a store buyer" says Leo Loeb, the merchandise manager of Love- man, Joseph & Loeb, who has just re- turned from New York, in company with 14 of the stores buyers. When merchant disc Is scarce and all prices inclined to be stiff, and buyers are told, as ours were, that our reputation for quality and good values must be maintained then the buy ers' ability to buy right is put to a real test, Our buyers have been permitted to buy as much as they thought could be sold-they have not been limited-so this is one year when the people of Birming- ham may expect results from us-as no excuses will be accepted.
 'But with the assistance of our New York buying office our buyers have been remarkably successful in getting good merchandise that will be out of the reach of the average store. Considering that all of our goods have been expertly se- lected, and that We have prepared for the most prosperous year in the history of Birmingham, we will not even have the occasional dull days to which the Birmingham public is accustomed.
 Most of our goods are already here, and now that we are assured there will be no railroad strike. we will have on display in few days the most complete stocks we have ever shown. In every pur- chase our usual standard of quality has been maintained, even though this was frequently done at some sacrifice of profit. But the 'shoppers-they will be the real iudges of how well we have done"
 The buyers who accompanied MT. Loeb to New York were:
 MT. Lee: Silks, dress goods and Things
 MT. Litten: Cotton goods and linens.
 MT. Leopold Loeb: Millinery. dress trim- mings and toys.
 MT. Waldo. Notions. hosiery and fancy goods.
 MT. Scales: Furniture. rugs and drap- cries.
 MT. Lindy: Children's dresses. house dresses, corsets. underwear and waists.
 Miss Herman: Infants wear and muslin underwear.
 MT. Herzfeld: Mems furnishings and haberdashery.
 MT. Sterne: Books and stationery Mr.. Sommers and MT. Branlege: Wom- en's and misses suits and costumes.

 MT. Giles: Crockery and glassware.

GOOD DEMANDFOR
 HOME PRODUCE
Hucksters at Five Points Market State Business
 Is Good

With the approach of fall a less va riety of home grown produce is displayed at the open air market at Five Points. The housewife may still find eggs and onions and potatoes and peas in more or less quantity and quality but the va rieties of the earlier season are missing
 The two dozen or more hucksters who have their stands at the market make no complaint as to business. If they have any complaint at all it is of their in ability to offer greater assortment o1 truck. Their own gardens being near ex- hausted they are spying out the gard ener who has surplus of collards or corn or beans or beets. and who has not the inclination or time to dispose oi his crop at the market. and buying the surplus.
 Prices at the market are reasonable or as near reasonable as pre-strike ano general high cost of diving" conditions justify. Tomatoes were selling yesterday at from 20 cents to 30 cents per dozen Chickens at 25 cents per pound for fryers and Is cents per pound for old roosters and hens. Eggs could be bought for & cents a dozen and corn sold readily al 30 cents a dozen. Sweet potatoes were quoted at 20 cents a peck, while a peck of Irish potatoes would cost 60 cents John Hamer is the name of one o1 the 'hucksters. He came to Alabama less than a year ago from Montana to raise cucumbers and pickle them for the Bir- mingham and Alabama markets. His cu- cumber crop was failure and, there fore, no pickles. But he procured 2 horse and wagon and is now selling more than $lOO week of produce at the mar ket
 John Hamer's case is probably typical

WILL INVESTIGATE
 GASOLINE PRICES
Member of Federal Trade Commission
 Will Arrive Here Tonight

Dr. Scale Harris announced yesterday that he had received telegram from his brother, William J. Harris. of Wash ington, D. C., who is member of the federal trade commission, stating that he would arrive in Birmingham tonight to begin an investigation into the price of gasoline. The Birmingham Chamber of Commerce recently invited the federal commission to send an expert to Bir- mlngham to make thorough investiga- tion of the price of gasoline here in comparison with other cities.
 Dr. Harris stated yesterday that he did not know what his brother would do, and how he would go about the work here. He has been busy for sometime making investigations of this kind in other cities. He is expected to begin his work here Monday morning, and probably will make a full report of his findings to gasoline companies the Cham Der of Commerce and the federal trade commission. In the event 1t is discovered that Birmingham is being discriminated
 on in the matter of price, it is expected that drastic federal actions will be taken.

WALTHAL TO PLAY
 IN STATE SCENES
Great Screen Actor Accepts Gov ernor's Invitation to Appear in
 Alabama Travelogues"

Montgomery September 2.-(Special) Henry B. Walthall, the popular ~movie star, has accepted the invitation of Governor Henderson to assist in per fecting the Alabama travelogue that will be used as part of the publicity campaign soon to be inaugurated by the trustees of the Alabama develop ment fund.
 Mr. Walthall, as all movie fans know, is a native of Alabama His loy- atty to Alabama enabled him to obtain a release from the Essanay company for sufficient time to not only super- wise the writing of the cenario but to take part in the picture.
 Mir. Walthall requests cooperation on part of all Alabamians and suggests that everyone interested in having their community represented in the rcture communicate at once with Elm met A. Jones at Montgomery, secre- tary of the Alabama development fund
 He also suggests that those familiar with scenario writing submit stories comprising a travelogue from north to south Alabama. The ideal story should describe the state from an in- dustrial, agricultural and tourist view point and be linked with human inter- est by introducing a bit of romance.
  1900 towns in the north and middle west. its circulation being guaranteed by the Chicago Herald. It will be used daily at the Alabama exhibit in Chi cago. Shown at big central meeting at Montgomery in October and used by the Birmingham Rotary club at At lanta convention next year.
 The trustees cannot promise every county representation in the Alabama moving picture but will be guided in their selection of locations" by the interest manifested in this important matter by those communities that show 8 desire to help make it a success Prompt action is necessary if full ad- vantage is to be taken of MT. Walthall's offer
 The Chamber of Commerce of Mont gomery has assured Mr. Jones of it's hearty cooperation and will do ev- e-ything in ils power to promote the Alabama picture.

GRAND JURY ID BE CONVENED MONDAY
 BY JUDGE HEFL|N
Criminal Court Will Be Opened and Grand and Petit Juries Will Be
 Organized

Judge Harrington P. Hef1in will for mally open the fall term of the criminal court tomorrow morning at e:so o'clock when he will deliver his charge to the grand jury. Nothing sensational is an- ticipated in the charge of Judge Heflin, who Is stated will confine himself to a general review of the investigations to be conducted by the jurymen.
 A comparatively light docket awaits the attention of the grand jury, and this also applies to the cases already set for trial. The grist of cases on the dockets of the criminal court for this week are violations of the prohibition law, vagrancies, with few cases of robbery and burglary and grand larceny. No case of general interest is docketed for trial this week.
 Owing to the light dockets Judge Will liam E. Fort and Judge Heflin will not have the cooperation of Judge Aston during this term of court. Solicitor Black stated yesterday that Judge Als- ton might come to Birmingham, but that depended entirely on certain develop ments. Judge Aston Is the state super numery judge and he goes wherever he is assigned by the chief justice of the supreme court.
 Tomorrow morning immediately after the juries are organized. the jail cases of those who want to enter a plea of guilty will be disposed of and then the courts will recess until Tuesday, owing to the holiday. The grand jury will re- cess immediately after hearing the charge of Judge Heflin until the following day owing to Labor Day.
 Assistant Attorney James Davis Is said to have quite number of prisoners in the county jail, who are ready to enter a plea of guilty, and these cases will be disposed of immediately, 1t was stated yesterday. Of these cases, the most in teresting is that of James B. Houston, the defaulting treasurer and city clerk of Bessemer, who is anxious to plead guilty and start to work out his sem tence.
 The opening of the fall term of court will liven up business at the courthouse as yesterday saw the return from vaca- tions of many of the well known court officials.
 The civil courts will remain in oblivion until October l.
