Courtroom Being Repaired, Put
ting IL Out OF Commission.

Mayor N. N. Melvey appeared before
Judge William L. Parsons, of the dis

The addition and repairs OF the

up and on top of all has come the
work of the local draft board. When

 SHOW NEW MODELS

 Chassis

The Drennen Motor Car company's s exhibit will be most extensive and complete one They are planning to have the Cadillac and Buick stripped chassis which were shown at the New York show, now on exhibition at tho Atlanta show, expressed over here Sun day night
 Express shipments are now en route from the Cadillac factory containing one club-roaster, one four passenger phaeton and one convertible. A spe- cial painted touring Cadillac, which was exhibited at the Chicago show, is due to arrive Saturday. The Cadillac convertible. which is coming, will be the first of that type shown in Bir- mingham inasmuch as several have been ordered from catalog and inter- est is manifest among future owners concerning this model car.
 The Drennen Motor Car company is also planning to have full line of Buick models. both in the four-cylin- der and six-cylinder types and tine six-cylinder closed card job, and part of this shipment has already arrived and the balance will come by express. They were greatly disappointed at not being able to obtain the new 1917 seven passenger, siX-cylinder Buick, but their application for same was too late.
 Sales Manager E. L. Scouten saw the new model at the Atlanta show and says it is a beauty It has all of the newest improvements and refinements, and is one of the sensations at the At lanta show.

 Another enterprising commander found an abandoned tractor on an abandoned 7S-acre farm and soon had the whole tract under intensive culli- vation. Other depots have developed the breeding of rabbits. One depot al ways has 30 pigs fattening Careful calculation shows that these pigs are produced at net cost of food for the men of less than 30 American cents per kilogram (2A pounds) at a time when the market price of pork is about S5 cents per kilogram.

 Stop and think what the war has thrust upon the peaceful agricultural population of France! It is conserva- lively estimated that 200 ,000.0 900 days of labor will be required merely for the reparation of the ruin which the ruthless invasion of our enemies has wrought. Obviously this makes the in troduction of machinery imperative.
 Some of the best agricultural land in France has been turned literally to stone-that is. the soil has been blown away completely by the explosions of projectiles. It will be necessary for the state to buy vast tracts of this, appropriate them and turn them into forests. which, in a century or two, may begin to give them new agricul- tural possibilities.
 'The loss of labor and the increase in the magnitude of the tasks to be performed will make it necessary to increase each individuals produc tive power,
 French agricultural holdings may be divided into three classes plots ranging from one to twenty five acres worked by the owners or by the own CTS with the assistance of one or two men each The second and largest class, affecting three out of eight mil lion --s agriculturists. would include farms of from 25 to 100 acres. While motor machinery would be of small value on the first class of farms it could be utilized for 80 per cent of the work of cultivation on the second class. Then there are large agricuI- tural enterprises in France to the number of 13S.000 and working from

 New plans are being perfected for the extension and perfection of the military and civil kitchen garden worl; next spring and it seems sure that an impulse has been set in motion which not only will help to carry France through to victory in the war, but which will tend to make her a bet ter country to live in after the war ends We feel, too, that this general movement will have an important eff feet after the war ends in keeping many men from wishing, after they leave the trenches, to settle in the cities.
 USE MACHINES ON FARM
 Another agricultural development which seems certain after the war will be the transformation of our farms from man and horse power enterprises to machine enterprises. The men who go to the front constantly are con fronted there by examples of the power of machinery Their rifles arc machinery, their machine guns are machines their big guns are machines, all their transport is done by means of motors. They are taught from morning to night that this age prop erly is the age of mechanics.
 Up to the present time in France mechanics have been held to be prac- tcable only on large farms. The small fields of Normandy and Brittany, ditched round and closely fenced. have been cultivated laboriously by hand. I think it probable that hand work will continue on them after the war, but in the larger farms of the Aisne and the Disc the war will be followed by mechanical cultivation. The govern
