MEAT INCREASE
AT Time NEEDED
Producers Responded Nobly
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified In Pork Policy
Which Now Provides Chief 6Gp-
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan of con
servation formulated by the q. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers Of this country to the
war program is OF particular slgnif-
canoe, as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministration by the meat producers OF
the country.
According to reports Of the o. S.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an increase In cattle of 10, 238, 900 head
and 12,441. 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January l last In the same
period theretwas a decrease Of $4,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs of
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall of 1918 and the
spring C, % the Increase may yield
not less than 1,6O0,000,0O0 pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 3d.
1917, amounted to 9O3, 172,00O pounds.
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1877 $4,000 pounds.
an increase Of over 374, 900, 900 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 In
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 1,263, 100000 pounds as
against 1,454,OOQ,OOO pounds for the
three month period ending September
1, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mill |
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must |
look forward to the rehabilitation of |
the European meat herds. The policy |
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
It has brought about will enable US
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be world shortage In fats,
ind it is to the United States that Eu-
'ope must look to supply its deficien-
y. At the same time there will con-
inue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ling capacity European imports Of
'eef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
argentine will be able to maintain a
upply that will keep all available
reezer vessels operating at capacity.

 BROWN WANTS ID | GVEPUb[|C CLEAN B|[LSATC|TY PARK East Lake Is Entirely New as to Buildings and Sum-
 mer Programme Is Be ing Planned

The last nail was pulled out of the last old plank in the last old building at East Lake park Saturday afternoon and the East Lake park of other days was no more.
 With all of the old buildings and riding devlces cleared out of the way. with the exception of the "Old MIL" which IS being remodeled, construction work on the new buildings will begin in earnest Monday morning under the superin- tendency of James l.. Carey, who has contracted to "doll up" the park In new dress for the summer season or 1918.
 J. Ellis Brown, commissioner of pub lie utilities and public properties for the city of Birmingham, made an inspection tour of the park Friday and placed his stamp of approval on all that had been done and on the blue prints of what was going to be done by Hugh Hill, the new manager.
 "East Lake park belongs to the city or Birmingham and this naturally means that it belongs to the people. We are endeavoring to make it their park and are fitting it up for their benefit. Safety and morality first is to be the slogan at the park this summer" said MT Brown in commenting on the city's new enterprise.
 ''We are endeavoring to get good. clean and wholesome amusement for the citizens and I feel sure that MT. HilI win make it one of the most attractive pleasure resorts in the south when ne gets things going May l. Our idea is not ito s.gouge" the patrons but to give them their moneys worth, for it must be re- membered that East Lake park was taken over by the city for the sole pur- pose of furnishing recreation to the citi- zens.'
 No admission price will be charged at the gate at the park this summer.

WONDERFUL PAINTING AT LOVEMAN, JOSEPH & LOEB'S STOR E
Letter Mailed Out Regarding Pay ment of Income and Excess Property Taves, to Secure
 Installment Payment
OF BIRMINGHAM. ALA. STATEMENT MARCH 4, 1918

Secretary w. " Trammell of the Xii wanis club is sending out letter to all members, and to the heads of the vail ous organizations of the city, of a ciNlc or business nature, urging their co-op- eration in the movement started by Sem ator Pomerine of Ohio to secure an ex- tension of time on the payment of eS- !, cess profit and income taxes in order that corporations will have money to buy liberty bonds with, and to operate their business.
 The letter follows
 s Dear Kiwanian: Under the terms of the federal statute income and excess profit taxes are required to be paid in d lump sum oh June 15. Unless this re- quirement is modified so as to permit distribution of these payments over a considerable period of time in install ments, the result will be disastrous.
 Tn the absence of such an extension, most of our large businesses will be re- quired either to take the money out of the working capital and reduce opera { ,ns, or to borrow the money from the banks. Moreover, the men and business institutions who must be relied upon to absorb the bulk of liberty bonds will not be in a position to purchase them and at the same time accumulate money for their taxes. Either one or the other must give way.
 If on the other hand payments may be made in installments extending over the latter half of the year, by a natuI al process, the government will have time to redstribute this money in the regu- lar channels of trade, without serious disturbance to business.
 "The impairment of the country s financial resources or the curtaiment of industry at this time might seriously jeopardize the successful progress of the war.
 Senator Pomerene of Ohio is endeavor- ing to secure the desired adjustment. Will you not aid the cause by telegraph ing or writing your senators and com gressmen? Please induce other individ- uals and corporations to send similar communications and secure action on the part of any trade or commercial organ ization of which you are a member to the end. Yours very truly

 Library Fund

Arthur Guy Empey, an American citi- zen, afer serving seven years in the National Guard and six years in the United States army, including service on the Mexican border, went to London, enlisted in the English army. served II months in France as machine gunner, and was invalided home because of wounds received in 'No Mans Land" This is the man the senior class of the Central High school is bringing to Birmingham next Friday. His lectures have proven just as popular as his book, over the Top which is undoubtedly the most striking piece of spontaneous war writing published since 1914. In every city that Sergeant Empey has lectured he has met with the great est success.
 The Chicago Daily News said that 'Empey's lecture was thriller It was one of the most remarkable gatherings Chicago has ever seen. After speaking for more than an hour, the paper con tinues, ''Mr. Empey said that he would answer any questions about the war he could. They came like hailstones the same as the applause from the crowd that entirely filled the seating capacity.
 Before the meeting ended it was like a huge family whose members had come
 together informally 10 ulscuSS the Wal" ,"
 The New York World headed it's com
 ment of Empey's lecture with. Over

 fences for an audience that packed Car

 Every $50 put in liberty bonds means
 $50 worth of victory for the United tSates,.' said Sergeant Arthur Guy En-
 pey of the British army, when he took
 to France and over the top an audience
 that filled Carnegie hall, and was
 thrilled by his graphic word pictures of the fighting man in action. The young soldier described the many adven- lures through which he had passed, and told of the spirit that animates the men
 when they obey the order. Over the top

 hell.'''
 Birmingham people are all familiar
 with Sergeant Empey's book, lover the

 the lecturer. The opportunity given by
 Central High school seniors should be
 accepted by all patriotic citizens, be-
 cause it means not only hearing Empcy
