SEvEN-WEEK campaign fol A better farming, under the dlrec' lion of the extension service depart ment at Auburn, begins in northern Alabama tomorrow, and indications point to largely attended meetings Prof. J. F. Duggar, at the head of
 the service, Statewide Campaign has, with the for Better Farming assistance ol
 his colleagues, worked out plans that will interest every farmer and bring large practical results. Three groups of specialists will spend two days in each county and will hold on an average of three meetings day.
 There are enough expert demon strators to carry on the work in two counties at the same time. The dates arranged for this week are Jackson, Tuesday and Wednesday, and Etowah, Tuesday and Wednesday; Madison, Thursday and Friday, and Lawrence, Thursday and Friday.
 Within the past two years there have been many farm demonstrations and many gatherings of farmers to hear addresses from specialists, but this is to be the most extensive cam paign of it's kind yet undertaken. The "crews" will work gradually south ward and will devote September and the early part of October to forage crop and live stock campaign. Especial attention will be given to cattle.
 The railroads are broadening their activities every year in promoting agricultural development in the south and many of the specialists co-operat- ing with the Auburn extension service in the present campaign are provided by the transportation lines.
 If the husbandman made progress in the scientific economy of cultivating crops and raising live stock before the demonstrator was abroad in the land, there is no calculating what he will accomplish in the near future with all the aids now at his command. Farm ing in Alabama today is far ahead of farming of five years ago, but the greatest strides are to be made within the next twelve months.
 vATHEN organizing for the republi. w can campaign Chairman Will cox said an effort would be made to break the "solid south" North Caro- lima and Tennessee were named at states that MT. Hughes would proba- bly, include in his speech making itin-
 erary. But the Moderating Their Tarheel common Political Claims wealth, wh cf
 gave Wilson a clear majority of 46,238 overTaft and Roosevelt combined, was soon dropped from the list, and later Tennessee was conceded to be hopelessly democratic A few days ago, however, MT Hughes, having learned that President Wilson was to make a speech in Ken lucky, at the Lincoln memorial cele bration on September 4, the date the republican nominee had been sched- led for the Blue Grass state, an nounced that he would cancel his ap pointment and slip down into Tennes- see for one day, so as not to violate the unwritten rule which forbade th' candidates of the opposing parties ap bearing in any state on the same day But MT. Hughes made it clear that he did not expect to remove Tennessee from the democratic column. H. started out in his campaign by indulg ing in extravagant talk, but his mint is steadying to the extent of not pre- tending to count on the impossible By spending a day in Tennessee h' will get merely little needed relax ation.

Revival In Market

Quite a revival developed on the stock exchange the market being more active and stronger than for many weeks sad Henry Clews in his weekly financial let ter. Directly and indirectly the war again proved the chief stimulus. The re- sumption of war orders decisively af- fected the munition group, and the gen. eral market stiffened under the suc- cess of new British loan; while railroad shares were visibly affected by belief that there would be no strike. "The consumption of ammunition in the present cruel war staggers imagina- ton; but Great Britan now seems able I to supply her own wants, both as to shells and guns, and intimates that she will soon be ready to assist her allies l in this respect. Nevertheless, both shells and guns are being consumed upon a stupendous scale, and bigger repeat or ders are coming to American manufac- turers than ever anticipated; all of
 which does not portend an early end of
 l the war.
 Such orders are being placed with greater discrimination than in the earlier
 stages of the struggle, and are going chiefly to large and responsible concerns l whose products have best stood actual 1 test"

Gasoline Prices

"I am glad to see the citizens of Bir- mingham come to the realization that they are paying an excessive price TOT ga soline," said H. M. Bailey, president Of the Overland Birmingham company. l received a letter from the nauonai Chamber of Commerce of Washington several weeks ago in which they asked the present price of gasoline and for me to express any views I might entertain in regard to the prevailing prices.
 Tt would indicate from the nature of this communicable that the people all over the United States are wrought up over the high price of the automobile necessity. While other cities may have some right to kick, it Is evident from actual figures that this city has more room to revolt that any of the towns now complaining.
 Gasoline is a commodity and is as es- sential as horses, wagons and other things necessary to the carrying on or business. Most of the oil wells are in Louisiana Texas, Mexico, California and Oklahoma. It is true a great many of the wells are in Pennsylvania and other ca stern states, but Birmingham is To- ated much closer than many of the cit- ies that are at present paying from to 11 cents less than we are"
