~ VF Red Star Relief
 Will Save Horses

1T OVERS of animals, and they are lA legion in this country, will be interested in the work being done by the American Red Star Animal Relief, organized at the request of the Secretary of War and conducted under the auspices of the American Humane association. National head quarters for the military department are located at Albany, N. Y.
 More veterinary ambulances, do- mated by the American people through the Red Star society, will be used in carrying wounded animals to hospitals in the war zone. Each am- balance will accommodate two horses and it is needless to say that they embody all the latest improvements. Ella Wheeler Wilcox has gone to France, where she will offer the am balances to General Pershing as the official Red Star representative.
 It is stated that American farm horses are admirable for artillery and transport service, and they are plen- tiful, but there is scarcity of good cavalry horses. Breeding of horses on scientific lines to supply the de ficiency may be started in this coun- try, with the support and co-opera- tion of the war department.
 Apart from it's humane character Red Star work will have practical value, as it will aid in conserving cavalry horses wounded in battle Elaborate systems of veterinary hos pitals in Europe reduce the mortality among wounded animals. Each of ths nations at war has devoted much at tention to this problem. All have splendidly equipped animal hospit nls. It is said that British veteri naxians in France have been so sue

Business in our line is better now than at any time during the past five years, said A. B. Tanner, the well known real estate man. Tn the whole of Birming- ham there are less than 400 vacant houses, which compared to the water eompanys record of $500 three years ago, is most favorable showing. l am really apprehensive of shortage of houses by next fall, when many thousand steel mill employees and their families move to this city"

Regarding Next
 Federal Census


 J N that the next federal census lis yet two years ahead of us the present Congress will have to decide lupon the general scope of the work and make the necessary appropriation for carrying it out.
 The Sixty-sixth Congress will come into being on the fourth of March, |1919, but unless the President should call an extra session it would not meet until December of that year, and as the enumeration would begin in April following, there would not be time enough to get ready. I Even if there should be special session the time for arranging details flor taking the census would be too short, for after Congress makes the Appropriation the census bureau re- quires many months for perfectiag its Organization and getting up the nec- essary forms. The census committee of the Sixty-fifth Congress, therefore, will have it's hands full between now and the closing session. 1 With the rapid increase in popula- ton and the commercial importance attached to census figures, there is growing demand for quinquennial enumeration. Decades roll round fast enough-too fast-for people who areN beginning to approach old age, 1 but to the younger generation they seem extremely slow. In the matter of the census a count every five years would not be asking too much of Uncle Sam.
 While the census committee would not be required to consider the quin- ouennial question in connection with the appropriation for 1920, it would naturally be expected to give some expression of it's views thereon; and | if the members of the committee are progressive they will advocate the five-year census idea.
 In the meanwhile ambitious cities, leager to let the world know how fast they are growing, must be content with directory estimates, which, as la general thing, come close enough Ito the actual population as ascer- |tained by Uncle Sam to satisfy the ordinary individual.

MEN, WOMEN

took an automobile trip last week that gave me something to think about. I do not own car but that does not keep me from being an advo- cate of good roads.
 I was headed for Jasper, and for the 26 miles in Jefferson county, we were able to hit a pretty fast clip. but when we got to the Walker line. a man in laughingly said, You have some lovely road ahead of you" He was humor ist.
 We hadn't gone mile before I pro- posed that as soon as we reached place where we could telegraph, that we wire my good friend Rountree, who is somewhere out west advocating better highways to come home, and start a movement to get the Jasper highway in Walker mended so that citizens of the thriving little town which has the honor of being the home of the apostle of good roads" can use it to come to the "iosSiS Siey, eehN PSiAtAt~ WY " '-''N ~i->'--'
 It may once have been a fair stretch of pike, but believe me, we went over and gullied road as I have ever rode over in this state, and l have been from end to end, and then criss-cross and hack again. I was glad that a laGy was driving the car for I fear that mad a man been at the wheel, my ears would have been shocked by profane language.

PICTURESQUE CAMP LEWIS

ing breed, the American frontiersman. Nightly, across the pine tables in the mess halls or around the big stoves in the bunk room, one can hear tales of wild adventure which would provide see narics for a hundred novels or motion picture thriliers. Here oan be found men who, in frail Indian canoes, have braved the rapids of Cataract Canyon, who have faced death in the Valley Of Death, who have hunted big bane on the banks of the Big Horn, and in the fast ness of the Kawich range have sought for gold. There is scarcely a horse ranch or COW outfit in all the west that is not represented at Camp Lewis. When the troops are drilling you can pick out the cow-punchers by their pe- culiar rolling gait, like that of sailors ashore.

A LTHOUGH the State Fair is 67A seven months off, the man. agement is now busy with the details of programme-making, and there is every promise that the 1918 event will be the best of all.
 Amusement features will have a larger place than ever, and so too will the live stock exhibits. Every progressive farmer will make dis play of hogs and cattle. Alabama is coming to be known more and more as cattle state, and as attractive as exhibits were last fall they should be larger and finer in every way in the coming October.
 Our fairs have always drawn great crowds, but time was when it required considerable effort to induce the farmers to apply for exhibit space. But in recent years Alabama has made strides agriculturally. Crop diversification is the rule now, and along with it there has been won derful increase in live stock, especial fly in hogs. The more up-to-date the farmer the more apt he is to make a good show at the fair, and that without urging. The husbandman who does not take an interest will find himself falling into the backward class.
 Crop acreage will be vastly in
 creased this spring, and if we have
 the bumper harvest the farmers are
 striving for, Alabama will enter upon
 new era of prosperity. Let's make
 the fair a revelation to all the
 visitors. It can be done.
