SENDS EGGS TO CITY BY
 PARCEL POST BUT FAILS
 TO GET MONEY IN RETURN

fered to ship two dozen eggs twice a week at 70 cents dozen.
 None of them replied to this except one-(name deleted by censor). He gave me an order for four dozen per week to be shipped to (name also deleted by cen sor), and said he would pay me once a week Asked me to continue shipping until further advice.
 T shipped two dozen Tuesday and same Thursday. I wrote agreeing to his letter and asking them to return my crates. So far I've not heard a word from them.
 Today makes two weeks since l shipped the first eggs. What can I do? Such things are the reason farmers and their wives do not try to find custo- mers for their surplus in the city.
 'I am now out four dozen eggs, four Scent boxes and the postage. Is there any way I can get the money?
 Thanking you for your patience and kindness. 1 remain yours sincerely,

ATHLETIC CLUB FIVE
 DEFEATS ALABAMA
Locals Show Reversal of Form and Conquer Grim
 son Machine

The Birmingham Athletic club basket ball team scored a decisive victory over the University of Alabama five last night in the locals gymnasium by the score of 3S to r. The locals play showed de- cided increase in form and the collegian quartet had but little opposition to offer against the we'll formed attack.
 The changed lineup of the locals worked wonders. Brazleton, veteran of previous years, was back in the lineup and played a good game. Baker played his best game of the season at center, while the defense also showed great inn provement.
 The Crimson team was made up of young. inexperienced players, and con- sidering this, they made a very creditable showing. Brown and bowman played the best game.
 The lineup and summary:
 Alabama-Wilson CD and Anderson (6), forwards; bowman @, center; Goodail (29 and Brown, guards
 B. A. C.-MeGowan Cs) and Brazleton CD, forwards; Baker 8), center; Gillian (6) and Barker (D, guards. Referee, Young.

EAST LAKE ID HAVE
 A CLUB FOR BOYS
Campaign Launched at Meeting Last Night.
 City Donates Site

Representatives from the various re- ligious, social political and fraternal or ganization of East Lake perfect ed plans at a meeting at the East Lake city hall last night for a campaign for raising funds to erect a gymnasium for the Boys club of East Lake, and for permanent organization to control and direct the work of the club.
 Prominent business and professional men pledged their support and co-opera- ton to the enterprise, and it appears that the project is assured of success.
 J. D. Truss, city commissioner from East Lake, made splendid talk on the great need of a work of the kind in the community. He stated that he had faith and confidence in the citizens of East Lake and believed that their civic pride would result in the support of the entire community in the enterprise. He urged the citizens to ask for sufficient funds, and not to hamper the work for lack of finances
 James Walker stated that the impor- tance of the work was such that it ISCelfe CdTSlul COHSlu6TdtlOu anu that the work of the fireside and parental influence should be supplemented.
 Mrs. Victor Prowell from the Central Boys club made very interesting talk on the work of the club in the city. She pledged the support and cooperation of the central advisory board. The Central Boys club very kindly consented to furnish tags to the ladies of East Lake so that the East Lake men might be tagged on Tag Day, and the funds ap- piled to the community need.
 The Rev pr. Walstrom, pastor of the East Lake Methodist church, pledged his support. ~
 A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and bylaws and work on the campaign to raise the necessary funds to put suitable building on the lot donated by the city commissioners. This work will begin immediately.
 From the public spirited citizens and the various organizations about $500 was pledged.

VELVET JOE PUBLISHES ALMANAC
Genial kentuckian Intersperses Inter- estinE and Useful Information With Sound Philosophy and
 Tuneful Verse

The almanac is not back number And just to prove it. Velvet Joe, the well known philosopher of sunshine and writer of homely verse. has issued a modern and up-to date almanac that bids fair to still further popularize that ancient and honorable institution
 If anybody has the notion,'' says the author that an almanac is strictly a farmers proposition. let him get it out of his head The only man who can find more use for an almanac than farmer. is the city man.
 You see a real almanac has got things in it that the Encyclopedia of Brittanica never even heard of. Sup pose somebody asked you right quick who won the worlds championship in 1897. You look on page of the little old almanac and say:
 .'''s7? Why the Baltimore Nationals beat Boston four games to one Any body ought to know thatv
 '.Or suppose somebody gets to argu- in about the cost of livin' or what's the tallest buildin' in the world-just look in the almanac an then just nat rally sauash en."
 In reviewing Velvet Joe's Almanac we must say there is in it fund of useful information that every business man would be. glad to have in such handy form. Where are historic facts, postal information. first aid hints. etc. ad infinitum. And the pages are liber- ally sprinkled with comments on life and men and with verse, done in Velvet Joes inimitable style that has en- deared him to scores of thousands of American newspaper and magazine readers
 Anyone desiring a copy of Velvet Joe's Almanac Is requested by the au- thor to drop a postal to the L'ggett X Myers Tobacco Co.,. 4241 Folsom ave. st. Louis. and an almanac will be sent free of charge.
 The names and addresses of few friends written on the postal will in- sure their also receiving a copy of this amusing and useful little work.--Adv.

At the Lyric

Two Italian girls are the stars at the Lyric.
 Carmela and Rosa Ponzillo, endowed with soprano voices of unusual range and beauty, received a great ovation at the Lyric last night when they sang sev- eral selections. It is seldom indeed, that vaudeville audiences have an opportunity of hearing singers who are gifted with such voices The programme was varied and each number was heartily encored, although the singers persisted in rem dering the songs that virtually every singer of note always sings.
 This act was the outstanding feature of the bill. Leo Zarrel and company presented an acrobatic number which was well received, inasmuch as the performers succeed in doing few flips, clear lights and Hops that were novel and remark able
 A little sketch, ttThe Moonlight Age,'' was well received, though overdrawn, probably because there was good look- ing girl in the act. Edna Aug, in charac- ter studies, was rather clever, while Norine Carman's minstrel closed the bill. The blackface quartet was able to pro- duce bit of ''close harmony and this featured of the offering.

The Age Herald has been doing an inn portant work in trying to bring the farm producer and the city consumer into closer touch with each other, but in some cases it seems that they have been finding out too much about each other.
 The Age-Herald has been running free advertisements for Alabama producers who have products they are willing to send by parcels post This work has been carried on through both the daily and the weekly Age-Herald and the re- suits in most cases have been highly sat isfactory.
 A letter from Mrs. S. J. Solie of the Folly Hill Farm, Myrtlewood, Ala, to The Weekly Age-Herald. shows that sometimes the city consumer gets the goods and then fails to pay for them. She writes:
