1t was necessary for US to obtain

to ensure the proper management of

because the population was so small
For example, the district of Bauske only
numbered four inhabitants to the
square kilometer.
In eur anxiety to help the home
country, and indeed under pressure we
attempted too much in the way Of Gull

their being able, with the means nj
their disposal to improve the cultiva'
ton of the thinly populated regions.
We took big estates under our owr
management. Motorploughs and agri-
cultural machinery of all kinds were
supplied. Seed was distributed. Army
horses helped in the blowing. Th'
main thing. however. was to stimulate
the interest of the local population By
paving ready money and fixing fail
prices.
The prices we allowed were lowe
than those adopted by the general gov
eminent of Warsaw, but they wer'
quite adequate. We took into consid

For the Good of
the Community

. BIRMINGHAM will be asked this week
- to invest 100000 in the Warrior
river. The federal government has al
ready invested over SIT, 900, 900 in it.
Birmingham's money will be put in ter
minals at which freight transported or to
transferred to and from boats.
The federal government has built dams
and locks that make an 8-foot channel
from Cordova to Mobile the year round,
and put on boats and barges with pres
ent carrying capacity of three quarters
of million tons of freight annually.
Other boats and barges already con-
tracted for and to be delivered before
March 1, 1920 will increase this to ST.
100000 tons.
Every week hundreds Of tons Of coal
are towed down the river. Nearly 100000
tons of steel is awaiting shipment by way
of the Warrior from Birmingham to Mo-
bile. The monthly tonnage of steel in
sight for the next year or two is estimated
at IS, 900 to 100000 TONS
Coal mines open near the river and IA
cilities for loading coal on to the barges
have been provided.
Steel has to be hauled from Birmfng-
ham by rail several miles to reach the
river. Delivered at the river, there must
be some means of transferring it from
railroad cars to barges.
General merchandise which is expected
to come up the river in quantities just as
soon as arrangements for handling are
made. It cannot be brought north of Tus-
caloosa by boat at present.
Birmingham merchants, therefore, are
unable to take advantage of the 20 per
cent differential in rates granted the War
rior river. They will be when the part of
Birmingham are built.
The Port of Birmingham corporation
was organized to build the terminals and
the transportation line connecting these
terminals with Birmingham. It was or
ganized by business men interested in the
development of Birmingham and the Biz
mingham district-men who recognize the
value of the Warrior river to Birmingham.
While it is not primarily intended to be
money making corporation it, neverthe-
less starts with a government guarantee
of operating expenses and six per cent on
the investment. That looks like safe
proposition.
The proposition is sound the invest
e. ln
from accruing to Birmingham cannot be
computed at present.
What will be Birmingham's answer
when the solicitors ask for stock subscrip-
lions this week?
Two hundred thousand dollars is not
big item to Birmingham. The saving in
freight charges on merchandise shipped
into Birmingham in one year would ex-
coed this sum- if the Warrior river with its
20 per cent differential were used

A great deal of the discomfort that
was apparent later was traceable to
these inevitable military acquisitions.
Seventies that occurred from time to
time may have increased this ill-feel
ing: they certainly did harm. The
political democratic agitators made it
their business to add fuel to the flames.

aHER OWN MONEY"

The Morning Star, OF Wilmington.
N. c., under date of January 5, makes
the following comment on Miss
Thurston's new play, "Her .owa
Money" which will be at the Newber-
ry opera house, Thursday night. Jan.
18th:
playing before two large crowded
houses at the Academy OF Music yes
terday matinee and night, Miss Ade.
laide Thurston presented "Her Own
Money" the well-known comedy
drama. The play was a worthwhile
cne, and among the crowds that saw
it there was but one opinion express
ed-that TO Miss Thurston Whining
ton had seen an actress that stands
above the ordinary run Of stage wo-
men that are ususally seen with road
shows. The play itself has been call
ed by enthusiastic New York critics
"the great American drama" 1t pre-
sents a somewhat difficult leading
role in the blending of comedy of the
better sort, and touches on the pathet:.
ic side of do3resti: life. And in the
Interpretation nt it Miss Thurston
surprised her audience who remem-
bered her in "a Love Affair" four
years ago.
"She was a most excellent actress
then and two years of study and two
years of experience soince then have
served to enhance her charms as an
actress. The company was well
balanced. Benedict McQuarrie who
played the part of the husband in the
piece is an actor of intelligence and
provided an excellent opposite of the
lead.
"The company should on it's trip
thrcuh the South, win measure OF
success in keeping with its merits. It
is not every week and sometimes not
every season that theatre-goers have
tn opportunity OF seeing so clever
play SO capably presented.
Miss Thurston and her company OF
excellent players in "Her Own
Money" will be at the Atlanta theatre,
