Realty Conditions Good

Birmingham real estate is on the verge of big boom," said G. B. Mccall lum. president of the Greensboro Realty planning to put on a big sale at Boyles. T have travelled considerably over this country, but I have never seen realty conditions more satisfactory anywhere than they are right here at the present time. The brisk demand for all classes of dwelling property and the healthy tone ot the market generally have created pros perity in real estate circles that will exist for many years to come"

Beat the World Telling Yarns

'I had a rather new experience the other night at the Baptist Get-Togeth CT meeting at the Hillman hotel" said Gully Exum.
 q got to the dinner rather late and the speaking had begun. The first preacher got up and told a cracking good joke, then another arose and went him one better, until when about the fifth pastor had capped all that went before with a corker, I felt like asking the toastmaster to stop for d few minutes until I could run down into the lobby and drum up a crowd of travelling men, for I did not want them to miss chance to add some new jokes to their repertoire.
 Take it from me, when a lot ot ministers are Keeling good and the lid is off, they can beat the world al tell ing yarns, and the beauty of it is none of them have to be censored"

Charmed by Bishops Sermon

q was greatly charmed and edified by the sermon of Bishop Atkins at the Highlands Methodist church on Sunday last said pr. James C. Morris, who is making Birmingham his home and who is remembered lovingly by many as the pastor of the First Meth odist church here shortly after it was housed in the home it now occupies.
 Bishop Atkins is a thinker and yet breaches with great simplicity of man. ner. He is delightful speaker to fol- low, as his style is that of the in- spired conversationalist rather than that of the perfect orator.

Memorial Proposed
 To John T. Morgan

M CCORDING to a Washi ihgton SA dispatch, when Congress re- convenes a bill will be introduced to erect memorial to Senator John T. Morgan at the entrance to the Panama Icanal.
 Suitable recognition for the work of Alabama's s senator in linking the At lantic with the Pacific by a trans isthmian canal has been too long de- layed. It is true that the Nicaragua route, for which Senator Morgan con- tended for years with all the power of his eloquence and intimate kMowl- edge of the subject, was abandoned in favor of Panama, but it was due to Senator Morgan more than to any other man that the project was under taken.
 To Theodore Roosevelt and General Goethals belongs the credit of ha wing completed the Panama canal, but back of these two towers the figure of Morgan, the statesman, who cher ished dream that was to mean great things for America in the future. The dreamer as well as the builder de- serves honor.
 By all means monument to John Tyler Morgan should be erected in Panama

SPRING SYMPTOMS

Have you little inclina tion
 To begin the task at hand? Do you feel no soul-elation
 When called to take your stand In the serried ranks of labor,
 Like a soldier at the front? Do you greet your. nearest nelghoor In the morning with a grunt? Does a certain languid feeling
 Paralyze your, will to do! Is deadly torpor stealing
 Through your veins and making you, Strange to say, firm believer
 In the hobos idle creed? Say no more-y0u have spring lever And a tonic's what you need.

Cheap Oriental Oils
Are Hurting the South

SS0''W HY does the southern house, /,
 w wife take the product of cheap oriental coolie labor into her kitchen and exclude an all-American product that is trying to lift the great south to a higher plane of prosper ity?" asks E. A. Calvin, Washington representative of the Cotton States Official Advisory Marketing board, in a letter to the editor of Cotton Oil Press.
 Desiring to build up the supplies of fats in this country, the government, acting on the advice of MT. Hoover, opened the gates to imports while the output of oil mills in the south was stabilized and an embargo placed on exports. As a result the country was immediately flooded with oriental oils, "produced by penny-a-day labor in the orient from oriental cottonseed, pea nuts and soy beans"
 The American oil miller finds it hard to sell his oil made of all-Ameri- can products in competition with oil from the orient. For the same req son the planter cannot sell his cotton seed or peanuts to the miller.
 It is up to southern housewives to help the planters and millers of the south by demanding that their cooking fats and table oil bear a Made in America" label. The pure food and drug act applies to the manufacturer who fails to put a truthful label on all containers. By refusing to accept from their grocer any lard substitute or oil that is not made in America of all-American products, housewives can remedy an evil that is costing the south millions of dollars. There is no denying the fact that oil and cooking fats made of southern peanuts and cottonseed are the purest and most nutritious in the world. Look at the label before buying.
 The prices of cottonseed and all cot tonseed products are fixed until July 31, 1919. Repeated attempts have been made to show the government that southern producers and mill men were being driven out of the market by the heavy importation of oriental oils from 15 to 20 cents gallon cheaper, but without relief.

A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE

Grandfather reached ripe old age
 And never thought of germs, He never scanned the printed page
 And puzzled over terms The learned hygienists use
 To fill our souls with fear And keep us shaking in our shoes,
 Lest dread disease draw near Grandfather smoked a filthy pipe
 And liked corn liquor, too; Of plug tobacco, rich and ripe,
 Would often take a chew. And yet he kept his health, som chow,
 And died at ninety-five. If mortals had such habits now
 They never could survive

Despite the financial predicament of railroads, the Railroad Adminis- tration is arranging to carry out as much of its improvement pro. gramme as possible to keep labor employed and roads in repair. Walk CT D. Hines, Director General of Railroads, said in an address before the Pittsburg Traffic Club. He asked for more adequate under standing on the part of the public of problems facing the railroads during the war and in the immediate future, and presented suggestions for oper- ating roads privately under public regulations as permanent solution of the problem. He emphasizes that the ability of the Railroad Admin istration to finance itself in spite of the failure of it's appropriation does not mean that it will not need the appropriation as soon as Congress meets again.
