Filled Like a Garden

q have been advertising farm lands for sale in The Age-Herald for some time and the results I have received from that medium have been really remarkable" said R. c. Heron yester- day. "When l first started some rath- CT extensive advertising, many of the best real estate men in the city told me that this was a bad time to sell real estate of any kind. However, I had faith in the proposition. and be- lieved the people wanted to buy lands
 ''The remarkable number of sales which we have made through the Age Herald shows me that the people of this state believe that lands In Ala bama will never again be as cheap as they are at this time. And in that regard I think they are correct. Ala bama lands will produce anything all most that can be grown in the United States and why land in other sections of the country should bring 20 and even 30 times as much as Alabama land is not easy to understand
 "The most pleasing feature about farm lands that I have noticed during the past year or two, is that people ere buying small tracts for intensive farming. They are experimenting on 8 few acres with products never before grown in this state and in many cases are making a good living on tracts not much larger than the average cotton farmer considers about right for his garden. Whenever an acre, of land in Alabam is titled like a garden, the ag- ricultural section of this state will be mere prosperous than any in the
 country"

EEoliday Shopping
 To Begim Early

ID IRMINGHAM'S holiday trade O last year was brisk throughout the month of December, but it is get ting even an earlier start this season and the volume of business will be ex- ceptionally large.
 The payrolls in the Birmingham dis trict have been making new high rec ords and never were wages as high as they are now. The immense bank deposits indicate an unusual degree of prosperity and the savings in the Christmas clubs" are more than am- pie to afford thrifty young folks a joyous time.
 The merchants have laid in rich and varied stocks for the seasons trade, and if they do not reap harvest it will not be because of any lack of means on the part of the people. Bir- mingham has witnessed many periods of flush times, but none when money was more plentiful than it is today.
 This promises to be a busy week and Christmas shoppers who would avoid the crush will do we'll to start without the least unnecessary delay.
 The high cost of living is a reality that affects every family, but toys for children and things suitable for Christmas gifts for young or old are little if any higher than in other years. Persons of large means make lavish expenditures at this time of the year, but those who practice econ- omy can make the little ones happy by the expenditure of comparatively small amounts. But all classes will do well to heed the reasonable appeal: Shop early"

ExcellennG Chance
 to Get Arnnor Plant

THE fact that the armor plant
 0 commission will probably visit been given favorable consideration. Among the numerous sites offered, most of them are clearly unavailable and not able to meet the governments requirements. It is announced that these places will be eliminated and the commission will make personal investigation of the most advantage ous locations.
 In the Birmingham district, Bir- mingham proper, Gadsden and Tusca- loosa will be visited. While the city of Birmingham naturally wants the armor plant located in it's immediate vicinity, if possible, there is no dis position here to play the part of the dog in the manager. The entire dis trict will profit, regardless of whether the plant is located at Birmingham, Gadsden or Tuscaloosa. The relations between the three cities are cordial and will continue so.
 Strategically, this district is ideal 
 for the governments purposes, since it is safe from attack by sea. Also the natural advantages are so great,

Trip to Toledo

T am waiting for the time to come for the Overland special to leave Chat tanooga for Toledo" said Charley Thrupp of the Overland-Bi Birmingham company. "A special car of Alabama dealers in Overlands will leave Birmingham Sat- urday night at 6:45 o'clock. This car will get into Cha ttanooga that night and by the time we leave the next day about noon, more than 15 special cars from all over the south and southwest will have arrived. All the cars will be made into an Overland special and we will go straight through to Toledo, o.
 "The dealers convention at Toledo this year promises to eclipse any meeting ,f its kind ever held by the manufacturers Representatives from all over the United States and some from foreign countries will assemble to inspect the plant and take part in very interesting programme that has been arranged for the visitors. All of the men will be guests of John w. Willys, president of the Overland company. We are going to have big time and I am ready for it.

Cut Out Business

There is going to be big 'doing5' here the week of December g." said Carl Platowsky. who Is chairman of the arrangements committee for Electri- cal Prosperity week. "The manufac- turers' exhibit building, in which the show will be held, will be a blaze of electric lights. The people who attend the show will see many things of interest and will be amply repaid for their attendance
 "No one can imagine what a big job it is for the electrical dealers to arrange for this show. I have de- cided to cut out business until the show is over. Many details come up each day, and we will all be busy from now until the last day of the show"

At one time it is known the COM

highest minimum wage yet estab-

But on the main foundation points
such as minimum wage, it is so clear
that nobody has any doubt what it

Negotiations which have been un-
der way recently with the Foun-
taine-Campbell Lumber Co., of Don
aid, have eliminated successfully this
week and the location here of that
company's large manufacturing plant

Work on the erection of this con-
Germs large sawmill will be COM

be put in readiness and will be
prosecuted with all possible despatch.
The site is just north of the pres
ent city limits, east Of the Jacobs
planning mill and between the 500
Line tracks and the river. Men were
started to work today on the clear
ing of the site.
The Fountaine-C Campbell Lumber
Co. has been located at Donald for
a number of years but have exhaust
ed their timber holdings tributary to
that place. They have large hold
ings of timber in Sawyer county as
we'll as in the northeastern part of
this state and the plant will undoubt-
edly be operated here for the next
fifteen years at least
That portion of sections 33 and 81,
T. 35, r. W., lying between the
railroad right-of-way and the river,
and which includes the Fountaine-
Campbell site, will no doubt be added
to the city of Ladysmith, as petit

signed by all the residents and tax
payers of that part of the town of

by long distance Tuesday asking for
a game and although the locals are
not in very good condition they con-
santed to play the downstaters.
One of the principal reasons of
the Ladysmith team in playing the
game is to instill a little spirit into
the organization of the team, which
has been lax. However, the boys
are pulling strong to win.
