 Birmingham is beginning to ride upon the crest of the good times wave. There is more building going on here now than at any time within two years past and the merchants and manufac- turing plants are doing splendid busi- ness Only the chronic kickers are com-e plaining now.
 A very good indication of the inn of business can always be found in the advertising columns of the newspapers. During the past week every newspaper in Birmingham car ried volumes of advertisements, and twice as many individual advertise ments as they carried at this time last year.
 This mornings Age-Herald has more advertisements in it than any one issue, in more than a year past, and the in- dications are that there will be a con tinuation of this business.
 Tn this connection, it might be said that The Age-Herald's circulation has increased in the Birmingham district several thousand since the first of Janu- ary and when people are able to pay prices for the newspapers and pay for the same in advance, it is a clear indication that business is good and volumes of cash is being distrib- uted in the form of salaries and wages.

underwood,s Popularity

today as Senator Underwood and being one of his very ardent admirers, I am glad to hear him referred to by democrats from the north as the logical candidate for President in 1920,' said Charles, Sum- ner
 'T spend the greater part of my time in Georgia and there I meet many men from Boston, New York and Chicago, who are democratic to the core. Every one of those with whom I talk speaks
 of MT. Underwood as the south's great
 est political asset. I think he has a fine chance of being nominated for the presi- dency four years hence.
 Feeling as I do toward Senator Un- derwood I was greatly pleased with Marcus Wells forecast regarding the con- test for national committeeman from Alabama Colonel Well gives Ed Smitf big majority over Borden Burr. Smith a sound local optionist, is the man ol | Underwood's choice and that settles tht question with me. The influence of z
 national committeeman will be strong | in party councils in 1920 and it is of ths utmost importance, therefore, that true ! blue Underwood man be elected iron

Going Back to Barbour

T am going down to the great state | or Barbour to spend week at home | and on my farm,' said Judge A. H
 Aston of Clayton, supernumerary judge
 who has been holding court in Jefferson 1 county for some weeks.
 | "I want to get back down there and I get some real good fresh air Birming- l ham is all right. and the people here are exceptionally hospitable, but there is nothing like getting out on the farm, or
 working in garden along about this 1 time every spring.
 That certainly beats sitting all day in a hot, close courtroom and listening to evidence, hearing arguments and de- livering charges. Lots of these fellows in Birmingham who go off to fashionable summer resorts could have much bet ter time by going out on farm for a week or two and fishing. I expect to feel like new man after weeks rest
 at home.'

Stock Raising in Wilcox


 Despite the ravages of the boil weevi in Wilcox county for the past two years conditions there are rapidly improving, said the Rev. C.. J. Bentley of Furman, who is here to attend the Alabama Bap- tist Young Peoples union. Wilcox county leads the state in cattle raising, and there has been a wonderful increase in the number of hogs raised in the past two years. There have been large pur- chases of fine cattle and hogs by the various farmers of the county, and prac- tcally everyone is now living at home. The plantations and farms are being rapidly stocked with good cattle and in a few years Wilcox county will be one of the biggest cattle shipping counties in the south.
 "The land in Wilcox, which had been planted in cotton for generations, has proved to be exceptionally well adapted for growing grass and other food crops. The pasturage for cattle cannot be sur passed in the best sections of Tennessee and the fertility of the soil is greatly inn proved by leaving off the cotton crops. It is only a matter of few years until the people in the black belt will be in splendid shape financially, and that sec tion of Alabama will become like some parts of the west where the farmers are the men with the ready money and enjoy the greatest prosperity"

The domestic science depart
ment of the Colville high school
has issued a 70-page cook book as
a result of the work of the de-
partment since its institution
several years ago. The book not
only gives nearly 300. triedi rec
ipes, but gives the food values in
units, and the cost of dishes pre-
pared, which are features not
found in other books. The
members of the classes handle
the sales, the profits if any to be
used in purchasing additional
equipment for the department.
The book sells for only 25c, and
is thus the greatest value ever
given in a cook book. Deliveries
will be made by members of the
class, and orders may be sent to
the class secretary Miss Leila Wal
ston, Colville, or to the Colville
Examiner.

New Publication by Secretary Lane
 for All Americans.

Washington, March Glimpses of our national parks is the title of one of the latest government publica- tions. It was issued by Secretary Lane, and brings together for the first time the essential scenic facts about each of the fourteen national parks, of which the vast majority of Americans are said to be wholly ignorant.
 While the original purpose of the booklet was to carry to the public school children the gospel of the natural scenery of the nation and to impress upon them the fact that the United States is the greatest scenic country in the accessible world, it's more immediate object, it is stated, is to furnish useful information for all Americans of all ages.
