1, ham dealers So important has this | trade become that during the past sum-
 rner the government established a l grain inspection bureau in BirminE- 1 ham, and all grain since then shipped l here by the farmers is inspected and | certified by him, which makes further | inspection, no matter where it is ship | ped, unnecessary.
 l On May the voters of Birmingham, at 8 special election. authorized the | levying of special tax of three mills l for school purposes and at the same 1 time authorized by an overwhelming majority a bond issue of $1,000,000, tho proceeds of which were to be used in | erecting high and common school l buildings. On account of the restric-. | tions on bond issues imposed by the government during the war these l bonds were never issued but they probably will be early in the new l year.
 The Southern University of Greens boro was removed to Birmingham dur-p | ing the summer and consolidated with. | the Owenton college The new inst.l tuition opened it's first session in Sep~ ! tember.
 RESPONDED TO EVERY CALL l Not only did Birmingham make sat- | isfactory progress industrially during 1 the year 1918, but she responded to every call of the government and did more than her share in all war ae- l tivities. In the third Liberty Loan l the people of Birmingham and Jeffer son county subscribed for $7,S71, 800 of bonds. whereas their quota was l $5,0OO,000 They subscribed $465,000 | to the second Red Cross fund, $15,000
 more than the quota of the entire state l of Alabama.
 In the fourth Liberty Loan $12,250- l 900 of bonds were subscribed for in Jefferson county, and the quota of | $170.000 in the united war work can- | paign was more than doubled. The l Red Cross membership campaign, now 1 in progress, will close with something l like 10000 members in Jefferson l county
 The influenza epidemic, which was general throughout the country during 1 the fall, impeded progress to some ex- l tent. but that is now over and every | body looks hopefully to the year 1919. l Viewed from whatever point it may 1 be, Birmingham's record in 1918 is
 most satisfactory, and there is noth- i ing on the industrial horizon now ta | cause any fears for the year 1919
