NEWS IF ENSLEY

One of the most delightful affairs of the season was the moonlight dance' given last night by Ensley lodge Benevo- lent Protective Order of Elks, at the1r home on Avenue D. About 80 couples were in attendance and the affair was thor oughly enjoyed. The dance numbers were interspersed with vocal slections, while the moonlight dance idea was carried out by a "shadowgraph trip to the moon,'' which proved highly diverting The hall was beautifully decorated with plants and foliage and autumn tints pre- vailing. A singing dance number and a whistling dance were among the fea- lures provided. The dance lasted until midnight and the numerous guests pro- nounced it big success.
 The affair was in charge of the dance committee, Lee Mcclellan, Hugh Hill, E. A. Warnick, Tom Deveraux and Jim Vallely. Another dance is planned for next Thursday night.
 The republican club of Ensley has made arrangements to receive the election re- turns on the night of November at the Ensley opera house, and a special telegraph station will be installed for the occasion. The returns from all over the country will be received. I. A. Miller will manage the affair and a small admission fee will be charged.
 A special committee from the Ensley club made investigation yesterday as to the desirability of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company chang ing the route of the Wylam and Fairfield cars from Nineteenth street to Twen- tieth street, in order to avoid the con- gestion that now exists at the corner of Nineteenth street and Avenue E. It IS contended that owing to the many cars that traverse Nineteenth street, travel for other vehicles is almost impossible, and it is urged that for reasons of public safety, as well as convenience, the change should be made. The matter has been before the Ensley club for sometime and the committee yesterday made investi- gation as to the probable cost of the change. The committee will make re- port of their findings at the next meet ing of the club and will later present them to the street car company for it's con- sideraton.
 Pratt City mission house held it's for nal opening yesterday with a house. warming. About 40 guests were present who were shown over the building by Miss Winnie V. Stewart, who is in charge and it's details explained. Refreshments, prepared in the mission kitchen, were served.
 Joe Scott and Willie Warden negroes. were fined $50 each in the recorders court yesterday morning by Judge J. T. Low cry, on a charge of stealing brass from the yards of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.

LIKE PUMPKIN DAY.

I've seen in many of the middle west ern states pumpkin days observed" said Judge Banks, "and good results have re- suited therefrom On these days, people from all over the district are invited to the town nearest by, and pumpkins in every conceivable fashion are served to them.
 'fIn addition to being jolly feast, and crea ting community spirit between the farmer and the city people, it serves to show the uses of the pumpkin and is an education to the people in way.
 T do not see why such day could not be observed by Alabama, and I am heartily in favor of 1t. The consumer should be encouraged to do anything that is going to tend toward reduction in living expenses"

GAGE IS ENTHUSIASTIC

Victor Gage of the Alabama Grocery company is enthusiastic on the subject.
 II believe that statewide Sweet Po- tato Day would do much to reduce the high cost of living temporarily at least, said MT. Gage, land will create condi- ton which will do much to tide the con- sumer over until the price of foodstuffs has been reduced.
 Sweet Potato Day has been observed in other states with great results, ana do not see why much could not be ac- complished by the same means Tn Ala bama. If the governor would designate a Sweet Potato Day and issue proc lamation urging the people to eat sweet potatoes on that day, and to try out va rious recipes from which the sweet po- tato could be prepared, it would result in a much more general use of this prod ,of

HELP TO FARMER
MANY POTATO DISHES

Sweet potatoes take the place on the family menu, so far as value of food product is concerned, of great many more commonplace staples, according to J. Chapline Hodges, vice president of the W. M. Cosby Grocery company. and they should Le more generally used, he said.
 with everybody kicking about the high cost of living, everybody should be willing to do his part to reduce the cost" said MT. Hodges, and I believe that the observance of a statewide Sweet Potato Day will give many people the oppor- tunity to do this part.
 There are hundreds of different and palatable ways in which sweet potatoes may be served. can testify to this, be- cause I've eaten them in at least 75 va rieties. Now, if people would only stop and think, as they would be forced to do through the observance of such a day, they would begin to awaken to the fact that for 75 cents a buShel they can get sweet potatoes and help the Alabama farmer and at the same time assist in the campaign to bring the cost of living down. On the other hand, when they buy Irish potatoes at, $1.90 and $2 they not only send Alabama money away from home but they encourage the rise in the cost of food products.
 T am heartily in favor of a Sweet Po- tato Day and I should like to see it observed at an early date"

REDUCES LIVING COST

w. M. Jordan, manager of Marshall, Jordan & Keith's produce house, strongly urges the observance of a Sweet Potato Day" as a means not only of reducing the cost of living, but of helping the Alabama producer to sell the potatoes he has raised at home.
 "The people of Alabama, when they go to pay s19O and $2 for Irish potatoes, which are shipped into the state. should stop to think that right at home they can get sweet potatoes for less than half the money,'' he said, land that as 8 staple food they are just as much to be desired as Irish potatoes.
 HELP TO FARMER
 ''The observance of a Sweet Potato Day would bring before the people the necessity for buying the home product, and encouraging the farmer. It is absurd for the Alabama farmer who Is raising ms pe1a xeet potatoes to have to sell Ehe1n fur ess than 75 cents and pay $2 3@r fffNf rotatoes.
