Live Organization of POul-

Enthusiastic Meeting

group of Birminghams live poul-

met last night and organized the South
ern Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock as
ISOLATION.
One of the first steps taken by the
new organization was to get plans I'M
der way for a poultry show of not less
than 1000 birds, which will be held in
Birmingham in January.
The meeting was held at the seed
store of George B. McVay, Jr., at 2123
Second avenue and all parts of the city
were represented among those present.
There were also several visitors from
other cities who are interested in the
industry. The officers elected following
the decision to organize include:
Raymond Quinn, president; DIR. ]. c.
Anthony, first vice president; Jap Bry-
ant, Bessemer second vice president;
George B. McVay. Jr.. secretary-treas-
urer
The board of directors will be named
at the next meeting. which win be held
November 81 1t is proposed to have
the board composed of experienced bus
mess men so that the affairs of the as
sociation from the beginning will be
upon a thoroughly business-like basis. A
srecial committee was named to look
after the incorporation and to draw up
the necessary papers for presentation
at the next meeting and show COM
mittee was also named which VIII make
the housing and other arrangements
necessary for the January show.

CIRCUS POSTMASTER
IS EXPERT L|NGUIST
Speaks Many Languages
Like Native-Sure to Be
Reapp0inted

Jules Turnour, postmaster with
Ringing Brothers and Barnum and
Bailey combined shows is in the eyes
of many. "a man without a country"
Spanards think him Spanish Russians
assume he must have once been sub
ject of the Gear; Italians admire the
manner in which he speaks their Ian
guage; Frenchmen take him for a
countryman and it would never occur
to an Englishman to question his ma
tionality
AS matter of fact, Turnour is 100
per cent American. and has long
claimed Michigan as his state Yet
when his history is considered, it is
not surprising that those who meet
him are mistaken as to his nativity
and citizenship.
Turnour was born in Italy of Frerca
and Spanish parents. His father and
mother were performers and were
travelling with European caravan
when he joined them. The first 20
years of his life were spent in touring
European countries with his parents
In this way he learned all languages
and. after a fashion, came to be of all
countries. The young man then came
to America to engage in pantomime
Europe, Finally he came here to re-
main.
For almost 80 years Turnour was
postmaster with Ringing Brothers,
and row that the biggest features of
the two famous circuses have been
combined, he has charge of more mail
than ever. Yet Turnour has time for
his art. This season he plays a lead
ing role in the great panoramic pa
geant which will introduce the won
ders of the mammoth programme that
will be presented here next Wednesday
Probably no other postoffice in
America is daily visited by such a
crowd of cosmopolitans as that over
which Turnour presides. Hundreds
upon hundreds of people 90 there for
their mail. MANY are foreigners, and
it is his ability to speak all languages
that renders Turnour peculiarly fitted
for the position of postmaster and
makes him certain of reappointment.

TO BROWN SUGAR,
STATES MR.. PETTUS
District Attorney Receives
Important Ruling on Re-
tail Sale of Sugar and
Combination Sales

Merchants selling sugar of the old
Cuban crop and the old Louisiana crop
at a price in excess of that fixed by
the government will be considered vio-
lators of the Lever food control act,
according to Erie Pettus. United States
district attorney.
When the sugar shortage became
acute in Birmingham Mr.. Pettus re-
ceived many complaints about the
price being charged for this commod-
ity and Immediately started an inves.i-
2aticn. He was confronted with ths
question of whether or not the reSula-
lions applied to brown sdgar as we'll
as white, SO he Immediately wrote to
A. Mitchell Palmer. Attorney General
for information.
According to Mr. Palmer. the regula-
tions apply to all sugar of the last
years crop, but as yet no reasonable
price for the new crop has been fixed
by the government. The statement IS
sued by Mr.. Pettus yesterday in order
that the public may be advised of the
regulations in regard to sugar is as
follows:
There are three different sources
of sugar supply, and the condition
governing each of these is dissimliar
This makes a distinction in the price
necessary.
Cane sugar of the old Cuban crop
is still being sold by the refiners at
the agreed price of cents, less 2 per
cent for cash. Last years crop Of
Louisiana cane sugar should sell at 70
cents per pound in Birmingham
THE wholesale price fixed for beat
suFar is 10 cents. less per cent for
cash.
"A reasonable price for the new cron
Louisiana cane sugar has not yet been
fixed.
The price fixed as reasonable an
plies to brown sugar as well as to
white sugar. no distinction being made
in this regard
The department has ruled that in
case OF severe local shortages of sugar
combination sales will be allowed. sub
Ject to certain limitations, viz: ~
The customer must not be restricted
In his choice of other commodities
sold; CD the customer must not n.
compelled to buy an excessive amount
or value of other commodities; (3) The
other commodities sold in combinat zion
with sugar must be sold at a reason
able price.
AS soon as fair price is fixed for
the new crop OF Louisiana sugar the

Productive Powers of Ma

Statement of Council

Work. save. cooperate and pro-

of living, according to a statement
made by the United States council OF

of Newton Baker, Secretary of War

Interior; d. F. Houston, Secretary or
Agriculture; William C. Redfield. Sec

Secretary of Labor and G. B. Clarkson,
director of the council.
This statement was received oy
Postmaster r. e. Smyer yesterday, and
showed that a careful Investigation OF
the high cost of living problem had
been made and the following were
given as some of the findings:
That the nations productive powers
have not been fully utilized since the
armistice; that too few goods, notably
the necessities of life, have been pro-
duced and that even some of these
goods have been withheld from the
market, and, therefore, from the peo-
pie; that the high cost of living is
due in part to unavoidable war waste
and increase of money and credit. That
there has been and is considerable profit
teering, intentional and unintentional
The council is of the opinion that the
remedies for the situation are; FRO
duction of goods in proportion to the
needs of the people; stamp out profit
teerlng and stop unnecessary boarding.

promptly to enact such further new
laws as are necessary to prevent and
