Birmingham State Fair And Extension

WE have had a great State Fair w The exhibits have been up to a high standard and the attendance has beat all records.
 Because the influenza epidemic last year there was large deficit. But the weather conditions this year were ideal. Every day brought crowds to the fair grounds, and the gate re- ceipts were larger than ever before. The Fair association will start the new year with full treasury. And that being so, large improvements should be made for 1920.
 There should be general expan- sion in the sheds for live stock, and the outlook for the year 1920 wille be greater than ever.
 Every fair is better than the pre- ceding fair, but now that the asso- citation will have funds to expend for extension, large things may be ex- pected.
 The fair of 1920 will be the greatest ever yet known. It should be known certainly as the greatest in the south

 Propaganda of Violence
 Is Carried on at Gary YESTERDAY Gen. Leonard Wood I was quoted as having made the following statement:
 The gravity of the situation at
 Gary is found in the presence of
 dangerous and extremely active
 group of I W. w and anarchistic
 elements which are striving to
 bring extensive disturbances
 against law and order. These ele-
 ments are working against every
 thing which this country stands
 for. -@
 The I. W. w. and kindred organiza- tions are menace to the peace and welfare of the United States. Their insidious influence is being felt in the most unexpected places. Always where there is zone of trouble, a chance to create unrest and revolu- tionary sentiment, the propaganda of anarchism crops out.
 The American government has been too lenient with these trouble makers, some of them traitors who profess to be citizens of this country and others aliens who have no right to claim pro- tection under the laws of the United States. The sooner these men and women are weeded out and put where they can no longer trifle with institu- tions which the American people have fought for and maintained since the days of Washington, the less likeli- hood there will be of clashes between whites and blacks and a continuation of warfare between capital and labor.
 General Wood is by no means an alarmist and what he says about Gary applies to other industrial centers where radicals are trying to foment trouble. It seems, however, that wig orous methods have been adopted to dispose of undesirable radicals at Gary. The military authorities have begun to construct stockade in which prisoners will be held until their cases are disposed of, and it is said that immigration officers have arrived prepared to arrange for the
