LITTLE MONEY IN OsTRICHEs ron, the Rrooklvn Ea gle


 One of the real benefits of the con sular report is it's contribution to or anthology as well as commerce. Consul K. A. Wakefield, at Port Elizabeth, Union of South Africa (state of Caps Colony, furnishes some eye-openers to buyers of ostrich feathers and to stu dents of the big birds.
 "Only four years ago the ostrich was the most pampered and highly valued possession of many South African farm- CTS" he begins. Now there is little in- terest in the most perfect of these birds. Prior to the war lucerne lands-mean- ing covered with forage suitable for os- tr:ches, with water supply-were selling at very high prices. A pair of good breed ing ostriches sold for $500o Perfectly white feathers commanded $120 to sl40 a pound in public market. Today the best feathers can be bought in plenty for sot to $6O a pound. complete cessation of demand for feathers exists

Demand for small Farms

"There is a steady demand for farm land, especially so for small farms near Birmingham" said B. F. Eborn. The mail brings many inquiries from north ern farmers who wish to move, south Truck farming never fails to pay when the trucker understands the business and is industrious.
 ''Very few farmers who have come to Alabama from other states have been disappointed and gone away Hisn prices for produce have doubtless stlm- ulated the demand for farms in the soutn' where climatic conditions are so favorapie to large and economic production. l lool. for onite an influx of settlers between now and the end of the year.

TOWN NAMES
From the Outlook.

From the Outlook.
 It Is interesting to discover. from an examination of the United States Offi- cial Postal Guide. that among our pulp lie men after whom towns have been named Franklin seems to load in popu- larity, there being S1 Franklins in the country, as against 30 Clintons. 2S sons and 25 Monroes. 2s Lincolns, 21 Jacksons, 20 Jeffersons. IS Websters and Is Roosevelts The name which has appealed most to the town founders however, is Union, which with its congeners, Unionville. Uniontown. etc, is applied to ss towns in the United States.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

 weather's drawing near. I'll lie in bed and snooze awhile, snooze
 awhile, snooze awhile, I'll lie in bed and snooze awhile, you

 lent and worthless bloke Who often calls upon his wife to do
 the hardest chores. A bucket full of water cold, just all the
 largest pail will hold, Should emptied be upon his head while
 shamelessly he snores

Old Hoss Sale Great Fun

"An old hoss' sale always draws crowd,' said W. T. Parker, the well known auctioneer q do not know why, but there is fascination about 1t that appeals to the average man. I dare say 1t reminds him of his boyhood days when he used to buy prize packages, ana to revive the pleasant sensation he oids on a sealed package and gets his fun Tn the expectation that he has made a Kill ing. There is always plenty of run around an old hoss sale, and l enjoy conducting one"

wheat we sell annually to foreign coun-
 tries would not pay for the sugar we
 import in the same time. Little wonder when statistics show that in the United States, every man. woman and child eats on the average more than 10 pounds year. The next time you see stalk of cane think of that. make . bow to the humble sugar beet, and lift Iyour hat as you pass under a sugar maple. They are all on the job to fur lnish us with sweets.

Cuba holds first rank in the produce ton of sugar though 1t finds a close rival in Java, in the East Indies. Not only Cuba and Java but the other East and West India islands raise sugar in large quantities.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-19

I said that Louisiana produces the greatest part of the sugar crops of the United States, but of late Texas has been greatly increasing her supply. and then a great deal of cane sugar comes to the United States from our island dependencies to be refined. Sugar raising Is the chief industry both in Cuba and in the Hawaiian Islands, and is of great importance in the Philippines.

CALIFORNIA LIQUOR
0 FIGHT WILL CLOSE
End Is EXPECTED BEFORE FIX.
PIRATlON or PRESENT WEEK
WITH ACTION OF VARIOUS
BILLS UP FOR DISCUSSION

SACRAMENTO. April l0.-Before
the close of this week the liquor
fight will probably be at an end SO
far as the legislature is concerned
An effort will be made to get the
Ashley saloon regulation bill to q
vote in the assembly before the Rom
|inger anti-saloon. anti-strong drink
bill is voted on That is part OF the
legislative jockeying that is to be
done.
No one contends that there Is any
public demand for the passage .0f the
Ashley bill. The grapemen's dpkani-
zations are not for II: there are no
petitions for II. and it Is pretty safe
assertion that the saloonmen them
selves would be against It II the ROM
niger bill was not pending. II is now
the aim OF the wet leaders to put the
assembly on record in favor OF the
tame Ashley bill before considering
the more drastic Rominger bill.
The Rominger bill will wipe out
the saloons and the treating habit.
That is admitted by everyone. The
Ashley bill would allow one saloon to
every 500 population.
Both bills allow cafes. restaurants
and hotels to serve liquor with meals.
except that under the R0minger bill
the strongest liquor that could be
served would be light wines and beer.
Under the Ashley bill there is no
limit placed on the percentage Of al
cohol in beverages. The Ashley bill
provides for Sunday and midnight
closing. The Rominger bill provides
that wine and beer may be served
only with meals and only at meal
times.
Ashley makes the argument for his
bill that the saloon forces would not
attempt to hold 1t up by referendum
as they would the Rominger bill.
Which. II true. demonstrates that the
Ashley bill Is not expected TO curtaii
the saloon evil to any noticeable ex-
tent.
