Naval Band Liked Birmingham

A member of the United State naval band which took part in Birmingham reception to the 167th infantry writes to The Age-Herald from the United States naval station at Algiers, La. as follows:
 q don't know whether you have heard from any member of our land since we returned from your city or not, but allow me to speak our senti- ment.
 Tt was with reluctance that we boarded the train for our home base We fell in love with your city, to say nothing of your people. We felt 1t an honor we were quite unworthy of 10 march at the head of procession con taining your own soldier and sailor boys. No place that we have been or taken part will compare with the wei come you accorded to your fighting men upon their return. Once more we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your treatment shown us, as well as your own.
 Your city, with its clean streets, modern buildings and vanished booze houses, along with your orderly people, left an impression I'm sure we all snail not forget soon and shall remember as one of the privileges we had while in the navy to visit"

Brisk Demand For
 Farms Hereabouts

I'D AGGRESSIVE farming in Ala 4 bama has advanced agricul- tural interests hereabouts immeas- urably
 Within the last two or three years the extension service has wrought wonders. Its active cooperation has had a practical application to every branch of farming, large and small; every branch of live stock husbandry and every branch of fruit growing and trucking.
 As a result of scientific agriculture and horticulture and of crop diversifi- cation this state has made strides that have attracted the attention of home seekers in the north.
 Farm settlers are coming steadily to Alabama. The demand for small farms in Jefferson county and other coun- ties within radius of thirty-five or forty miles of Birmingham was never so brisk as it is today.
 Every trucker who settles near Bir- mingham is making marked success of his venture, and the level of values is all the while rising.
 
 The future of truck farming cannot be exaggerated. Any newcomer of truck growing experience cannot fail to make money in northern Alabama.
 As to the large farms, they are proving profitable in every section of the state. A tract of seven or eight hundred acres that can be bought for thirty dollars an acre will be worth fifty dollars or sixty dollars an acre . few years hence.
 Intensive methods will yield abun- dant food and feedstuff crops and make beef cattle and hogs great wealth producers. The year 1918 was a red letter year for Alabama and 1919 promises to be record breaker
 Prospective buyers of Alabama farms will act wisely in buying now

 What It Means To Have
 Reasonably Clear Conscience HE German and Austrian peace = envoys present study in facial expression. Count Von Brockdorff- Rantzau and his colleagues appeared at Versailles sullen and uneasy. There was impotence in the counts reply to Clemenceau's address. He called attention to the atmosphere of hatred in which the Germans were received, and it is good to know that not a < single voice was raised to dispute that statement. -
 On the other hand, the Austrians  headed by Karl Renner, were smiling and good humored. If at first they were not quite sure of their ground they soon recovered their equanimity and conducted themselves as gentle men who felt assured of courteous treatment, even though they came il the role of the vanquished to heal their fate at the hands of their enc mics.
 The psychology underlying the at titude of the Germans and Austrian: is not hard to understand. The Ger mans realized down in their hearts
