CHEER CONFEDERATE VETS
 AT STATE REUNION

more stirring or inspiring spec tacIe has never been witnessed by Bir- mingham than that of the Confederate veterans parade of yesterday. Never have heartbeats been more together or patriotic impulses more simultaneous than when, at the conclusion of the parade and as fitting climax for the reunion, which resulted not only in reunion of the Confederate veterans among themselves, but a stronger and more impulsive reunion with the Uni ted States government, the local and regimental bands, who made the journey here especially for this occa- sion, united before the reviewing stand and played those airs which are sacred to the hearts of all, Dixie and The Star-Spangled Banner"
 As if electrified by common inn pulse, the throngs of people lining ali the available space on the streets, roofs and windows of the buildings, gave hearty cheers and for the dura- ton of the music the air was dark with hats, caps, flags and handker- chiefs. the cheering waving backward anu Aoi W e1IQ III tuc great lines lOIR after the music. had ceased
 The parade, which formed on Sixth avenue, marched down Nineteenth street, turned into First avenue and from there down Twentieth street to Capitol park
 The parade was led by Capt. E.. J. Mo- Crossin, grand marshal, and his staff, with military band. The divisions fol- lowing were Governor Henderson and staff, Boys Industrial school band, mem bers of civic organizations led by the Civic association, with Frank E. Butler in charge; Birmingham Real Estate ex- change and Italian societies; local band, school children, military band, General Hooper and staff, military band; Gen eral Fuller and staff of the First brig ade, veterans sponsors and maids; Gen. B. F. Ellis and staff of the Second brigade, veterans, sponsors and maids; Gen. T. Lamkin and staff, veterans, sponsors and maids of the Third brigade; Gen. w. F. Pruett and staff, veterans sponsors and maids of the Fourth brig ade.
 The division of veterans followed and many marks of respect and admiration were paid to both the men in the gray and the boys in khaki and the veterans took delight in picking out a likely
  generals place. Many citizens fur nished the ears for their use in the march, the long walk being too much for some of the men who once walked their bit coming home from Appomat- tox. Manager Maxwell of the Stude- baker branch here, gave the service of 20 of his brand new cars-not only for the parade but for a pleasure drive through Norwood and Lakeview with an extra trip to the State Fair grounds.
 The soldier boys who visited from Camp Mcclellan were entertained by the Civic association in the association's s cafe at noon and were given fine din- ner at the veterans headquarters on Twentieth street last night. As the Civic associations guests they were each pre- scented with package of cigarettes and enjoyed a smoke, while speeches were made by Dr. Elkourie, John Shelby, Frank w. Barnett and Secretary s. l.. Harold.
 The reunion will be held next year in Mobile.

ROYAL PAYMENTS


 Provision is made for r6yalty pay ments of $200 a machine. reduc- tion to about one~ffth of the sum asked by patent holders before the plan was worked out. With the ex : ception of $25 assigned to maintain the association, the royalty goes to hold- CTS of controlling patents A maximum limit of s2,000,000 is fixed, however. for each of the Wright and Curtiss claims. Holders of any future con trolling patents who are members of the association will share in royalties as later determined.
 SUBSTITUTE PLAN
 The plan is a substitute worked ont by the advisory committee for aero nautics for that proposed in the act of Congress appropriation $1,000,000 for government purchase of basic airplane patents and authorizing condemnation proceedings if necessary.
 The royalty is charged against man ufacturers' profits in cases where gov ernment contracts are based on the cost-plus profit plan, as most of them are. All foreign or private orders also pay their share in the royalty and the effect of the whole scheme has been to reduce the pre-war cost of air planes to the government by 50 per cent with the probability that it will be halved again owing to quantity pro- auction contracts as the work pro- gresses.

ROLLING IN WEALTH AND AUTO.
MOBILES

A correspondent of the Fruitman's
Guide, writing from Hastings, says:
THE Hastings-East Palatak potato
growers are rolling in wealth. There
has never been anything like 1t in this
section The farmers have so much
money that they have gone automobile
crazy. In one fortnight it is said that
forty-five high priced cars were sold to
potato growers between the river and
in one day, and in little over week
had hold no less than twenty-five in
this restricted territory.
The bank of Hastings has had to
more than double its force. and even
with the increased help is working
every day until past midnight. Up to
the end of last week total deposits for
the season had reached the $1.000,00O
mark The postoffice is overwhelmed
with business and the delivery and
money order windows have lines in
front of them like crowds at a popular
moving picture show in New York or
Chicago. All the storeekepers have
had to increase their help, and every
body is working night and day.
Saturday last over $4,000 was paid
out in pay rolls and other expenses in
cidental to the harvesting of the crop.
Intact. Hastings today is as busy
town of its size as can be found in
the whole United States. The fondest
anticipations of the most optimistic as
to the size of the crop have been ex-
ceeded, and the quality is superfine
AS for the money end of it, that is
past all presidents. No one could
ever have imagined that with this tre-
mendous output, the f. o. b. prices
far from dropping-should have been
strengthened until perfactly amazing
levels have been reached. The only
fly in the ointment is the shortage of
barrels, but at that, shipments in
hampers, crates and sacks have been
moving forward and meeting with sat
isfaction at destination points"
