Lord Norfhclife has with accustomed acutenes'

 The fact that sweet potatoes are worth 45 cents per peck retail, when they used to be 45 cents per oushel' and there will be 16.000.00o bushels In Alabama this year caused the change of attitude toward sweet potatoes in Birmingham.
 An effort will be made at the meet ing of the committee today to or ranize the committee and to get on foot a plan that will make New York Chicago and Boston eat sweet potatoes three times a day.

 The old tipple Is being rebuilt and the entire premises cleaned up preparatory 70 resuming operations.

 This mine Is probably one of the pest known and most familiar in the district because being located so close to the res idence section of the city, thousands or people have visited 1t while taking a ramble over the mountain on Sunday art ernoons.

INSTITUTE ID COME ID A CLOSE TODAY Mrs. Mathis Urges Teachers to Co-Operate in Patriotic
 Movements

After a most successful and instruc- tive series of sessions the Jefferson County Teachers institute will be con- cluded this morning with the completion of the programme arranged for today. Following the close of the institute ex- aminations of the grammar school chil- dren who have studied during the sum mer for admission to the High school will begin, and all prospective High school students are expected to be on hand this afternoon for examination.
 The meeting yesterday was one of the busiest of the session and the assembly period proved one of the most interest ing features of the institute, as Mrs. Mathis, the noted woman farmer, made an address on "Patriotism' that stirred the entire assembly. Mrs. Mathis pointed out the great service the teachers of the city and state could render by aiding in the publicity of the various movements, such as the Red Cross. liberty loan bonds and other patriotic endeavors. She stated that the teacher could reach places where even the press could not touch and urged every teacher attend ing the institute to assist in all these movements.
 Among the other speakers was Dr. appeal for cooperation on the part of the teachers to aid in the conservation of health.

WARD SPEAKER IS
 WARMLY GREETED
 BY THE REALTORS
Several Talks Made at the Weekly Luncheon Yesterday Bearing Upon the Present City
 Campaign

Birmingham Realtors are exceptionally charitable listeners, or they are strong for George B. Ward for president of the city commission, If the situation Is to be judged from the warm reception DuPont Thompson received yesterday afternoon at the weekly luncheon, when he told why Mir. Ward should be elected president of the commission to succeed himself
 The man who knows how--the man who can carry the message to Garcia or to be more modern, the man who can put 'em over that is the man you want to elect as head of the city government said the speaker. T beileve George Ward is the man. He has had the experience, the training. and is qualified to handle the city's affairs, for he has handled them" MT. Thompson was sent to the luncheon by Campaign Manager Paul Savage, at the invitation of Secretary Robert P. McDavid. IT.. who extended the same invitation to each candidate for the presidency.
 John B. Bethea was present and spoke briefly, upon invitation from the chair regarding his candidacy. John H. Tay- Tor was called upon. but refused to make speech MT. Motion spoke for a few minutes, stating that he believed that when Mr.~Barher completed the killing of the last tiger in the city he would then turn to the vandals who were de- stroying the property of the owners, that was vacant, by stealing plumbing. elec- tric light and gas fixtures. But as for me, on this race for president of the commission, I am for George Ward. and don't make any bones about It,, he said, amid applause.
