FARM EXHIBIT PLAN AT. MEET
 NOVEMBER 16

Plans for the states next exhibit to the National Farm Products Con- sress, to be held in Kansas City in 1917, will be completed at the regu- lar annual meeting of the state board of trade in session at the Chamber of Commerce building Thursday. November Is. The advisibility of abolishing the quarterly meetings in favor of semi-annual or annual gath erings will also be discussed at length.
 It is expected that the Arizona state exhibit to the annual farm con- gress next year will be the largest and most complete ever sent from this state. Exhibits of the agricul- tural, and mining. as well as indus trial possibilities within the bound aries will be presented in complete form
 Some objection has been raised by the board of directors of the state trade board relative to holding quar- ' terly meetings. It is argued that | there is not sufficient business to
 warrant four meetings annually and | it is highly probable that the old sys- l tenn will be done away with in favor
 of a plan for meeting twice annually 1 or once each year.
 Election of officers for the ensuing
 year will also take place. The pres ent officers of the organization are as follows: President, H. M. Fenne- more of Phoenix; John F. Myers of
 Tucson. secretary, and R. N. Freder- i icks of Prescott treasurer. The board I of directors is composed of repre- 1 sentatives from various counties of 1 the state

desolate enough in detail to provide the proper setting for the tenement scenes in the new picture in which Mae Marsh and Robert Heron are co-starring.
 The east side of tie city is sup posed to comprise the dwelling place of the poor, but the buildings hous- ing those on whom poverty's blight has fallen are far too good to give the proper atmosphere of misery and suffering. They are mostly squat lit tie gray shacks of one or two rooms. with comfortable, neat furniture and nearly every one has a plot of ground with geraniums and roses blooming in it.
 There is nothing to. inspire one with a feeling of pity in Los Anc- eles poor districts. In fact, except during the winter season there are very few really poor persons in the city, and when it becomes necessary these are cared for and their rent raid by the charitable institutions and by the county charities. In a certain business district, how ever, the idea of poverty is not SD
 badly expressed by line of saloons set close together-earh of them a poor, ramshacl1le building and all of them pitifullv dilapi6ated.

WESTERN UNION |S RIGHT 0N JOB FUR
 HANDLING RETURNS

The Western Union Telegraph com pany did not leave a stone unturned last night in its efforts to keep its subscribers and the people of the county informed as to the election results last night. Probably the most complete organization in the history of that organization had been effect ed, ani the results were well worth the effort.
 Curtis Monical, of the Commercial department of the Western Union arrived in Phoenix yesterday, and immediately took steps to have the city of Phoenix and the State of Ari- zona completely covered, in the in terests of his company. There were 101 subscribers on the Arizona loop, all of which were giving reports at regular intervals on the outcome Of the election.
 Every town in the state wired re- ports to the Republican office over the Western Union wire, and each town in turn was given the reports of the others.
 A new system was tried out py the Western Union, making is pos sihle not to repeat or send out in- complete returns when complete ones were on hand

"Hulca From Holland" Stars Mary
 Pickford

Forsaking Japan and Italy. versatile Mary Pickford has turned her golden smile upon Holland and stars in her newest Famous Players production as the little Dutch girl in "Hulda From Holland. by Edith Barnard Delano, which is the Paramount Picture now showing at the Lamara theater. In this delightful tale of the land of the tulip Miss Pickford is more ap- pealing, if possible, than in many of her previous appearances, a fact which, coupled with the picturesque ness of the Dutch settings and cos tunes which mark the opening of the picture, makes it an unusual pro- duction even for Miss Pickford and the Famous Players.

DAMAGE OF STORM
REPORTED SLIGHT
Wire Communication to the
Gulf Cities Temporarily
Interrupted

The gulf coast, though storm swept,
did not suffer heavily. The telephone and
telegraph companies in Birmingham re-
port that there was no damage in this
district inasmuch as the wind here never
exceeded a velocity Of 30 miles an hour.
Communications with Mobile, Montgom-
cry and Selma were lost by the Birming-
ham companies for a time during the
day, but were restored before night.
George r. Knox, manager of the South
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph com
Mobile and Montgomery at 4:55 O'Clock
in the afternoon. He said that the com
panies did not suffer heavily, but that
the true extent of the damage to the
telephone and telegraph lines would not
be known until later.
The Western Union office reported that,
by relay, messages from Mobile were
sent by the way of New Orleans, hence
it is not believed that the damage to the
telegraph lines is material.
The Postal Telegraph company could
not reach Montgomery or Selma yester-
day afternoon. However. messages were
received from Mobile. A squad of line
men are working day and night to re-
store the disabled lines of communica-
tons. Manager T. D. Jackson said.
In the downtown district, the wind that
swept Birmingham with intermittent rains
was strong in the canyon" that the
skyscrapers afforded, but, other than a
few disabled umbrellas and a Few sllgn'
mishaps no accidents were reported.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
ADVERT|SES CITY
Sign 40 Feet High and
80 Feet Wide Erected
IN Chicago

A photograph of the huge electrical
sign, recently erected over the Illinois
station in Chicago, advertising BirminS-
ham, has been received by the Chamber
of Commerce. This sign is 40 feet high
and 80 feet wide. 1t was erected at a
cost of $4,000. Facing Michigan avenue,
this sign may be distinctly seen for
many blocks. There are only four words
on the large sign and they are, Illinois
Central, Florida and Birmingham"
This sign was erected by the Illinois
Central in their efforts to cooperate with
Birmingham in advertising this city and
inducing Florida tourists to stop over in
Birmingham en- route to the gulf coast
state. Other efforts at cooperation of
this road is shown in the fact that on
all dining cars a card containing a view
of First avenue is used to attach all
menu lists to. This card gives a splen-
did view of the downtown business Sec
ton of Birmingham, and a good boost
is given Birmingham on the footnote
Last year Birmingham started a cam
paign to induce winter tourists to stop
over in Birmingham. While considera BILE
progress was made last year. more rail-
roads are being lined up to cooperate in
the matter. 1t has been pointed out that
Birmingham would furnish splendid
resort as a stop-over to these winter
reSOrterS.

NEW FREIGHT RATE
ON COFFEE EFFECTIVE
ON JANUARY FIRST
Railroad Commission Grants New
Rate After a Long Fight-Other
Rates Pending Before the
Commission

new freight rate from New Orleans
to Birmingham on coffee has been grant
ed the Birmingham dealers, after long
and hard fight before the railroad COM
mission. This new rate is to become
effective January /, 1917, and will be for
a period of two years The decision of
the commission in favor of cheaper rate
for Birmingham on this commodity was
received with considerable pleasure by
local dealers, who say they have been
Disseminated against in the matter of
rates for years.
The new rate will put Birmingham on
the same freight rate basis enjoyed by
Nashville According to figures given out
by the Merchants and Manufacturers
association, the rate being paid by Bir-
mingham is 35 cents on carload lots. while
Nashville has paid only % cents. In less
than carload lots the rate has been from
35 to SO cents for Birmingham, while
Nashville has paid only 80 cents.
The matter of freight rate on feed
stuff and grain Is still pending before
the commission. The present rate is
entirely too high, according to dealers,
and hard struggle to have the commits
sion reduce it has been made for some
time 1t is stated that as soon as the
new traffic bureau gets under full oper-
alton that matters pertaining to Birming-
hams freight rates on all commodities
will be closely scrutinized, and attempts
to Justify anything that is out of pro-
norton and to see that Birmingham deal
ers are not Disseminated against.

COMMITTEE SEEKS
TO SWELL MAJORITY
FOR AMENDMENT
Arrange for Meetings at
Shops-Speakers to Cover
Entire County Before
Day of Election

Despite the heavy rainfall and disagree
able weather conditions yesterday after
noon, a representative number of tho
committee of 1000 on the educational
amendment met at the Chamber of Com
merce to discuss the various phases of
the fight for the amendment. The meet
ing was a most enthusiastic one, those
present being among the leading workers
for the cause.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman J. R. Hornady, who told of
the favorable reports coming in to the
campaign headquarters, and of some of
the work being done by the committee.
Mr.. Hornady stated that prospects were
excellent for Jefferson county, but that
a great deal of work lay before the
committee to make the vote in the No.
vember election overwhelming. 1t was
estimated that Jefferson county would
go for the amendment, but a large ma
jority vote is sought in this county to
overbalance the opposition vote of some
of the counties known to be opposed to
the amendment.
Mr.. Hornady stated that it was neces-
sary to push this campaign work, due
to the fact that a large number of the
rural voters did not understand the
amendment, but when it was explained
to them they were for it. He stated that
it was up to the philosophical men of
the state to put the amendment before
the people in such way that they would
understand and appreciate it.
1t was decided to call another meet
ing of the committee of 1000 in the audi
torium of the Chamber of Commerce next
Monday at II o'clock. This meeting is
for the purpose Of letting each member
make suggestions, and to get in line to
boost the amendment
TO SPEAK AT SHOPS
Every member present was given the
opportunity to make suggestions and a
number of them were adopted. A reg
ular speaking itinerary for the Brming-
ham district has been mapped out for
this week and next, while it is planned
to have speakers at the noon hour at
all shops and foundries. Each Monday
morning until the election all county
courts will be turned over to speakers
on the amendment
John R. T. Rives. coroner-elect for
Jefferson county, and a member of the
Order of Railway Conductors, stated that
a mass meeting of the order would be
held Sunday afternoon at local theatre,
where they would formulate some plan
to assist in the passage of the amend
ment. He stated that this organization
was solid for the amendment. 1t is also
planned to have large mass meeting
on the Sunday before election, and to
have all labor organizations present.
Following is the schedule for the edu-
cational meetings in this county:
