FORMER EMPEROR
 T0BE KEPT ON MOVE
Holland Expected to Ask
 Him to Appear Before Court or Leave Country
By Associated Press

Amsterdam, June 29-The allied and associated powers will not ask for the extradition of the former German en- peror, the Paris correspondent of the Telegraaf says he learns, but will ask the Dutch government in the name of the league of nations to see that Herr Hohenzollern does not escape the moral consequences,
 It is expected that as member of the league, he adds, Holland will in- form the former emperor that he must appear before an international court or leave the country. A highly placed French authority on international law told the correspondent that the pro- ceedings against the former emperor would be on moral grounds and the sentence would be of a moral char acter entirely. There is no question of death sentence or imprisonment. the correspondent was told.
 It is probable, the correspondent continues, that the crimes of the for mer emperor against international morality in starting the war and in violating Belgian neutrality will be condemned severely. the Hohenzollerns will be declared forever deposed and It will be made impossible for the for- mer emperor to do further harm by as- signing him a place of residence from which he must not move.

Midnight Patrol" Coming to Alcazar-Benefit of
 Police Fund

Tickets are now on sale for the Mid night Patrol" big screen production scheduled to be shown at the Alcazar during the week of July 2s. The pro- ceeds from the showing of this picture will be used to erect 8 gymnasium in the city hall for the benefit of the police and others who wish to take advantage of It.
 The story of the picture deals with events in police circles, as it's title sug- gests and according to critics who have witnessed the production in New Or leans and other cities, it is of unusual interest It is the first picture of it's kind that has ever appeared in Birming- ham.
 Experts acclaim it to be one of the few pictures that is entirely different and still appealing to the public. It DOT trays vividly scenes of the so-cailed under world; the operations and methods used by burglars, and the intense excite ment caused when police raids are made or gambling houses. hop joints ana other illegal resorts.
 This interesting production was secured largely through the efforts of Capt. D. c. Simmons and w. w. Brent and other police officials. They have distributed tickets to all of the patrolman to dispose of and they may be obtained from any officer or at police headquarters. The tickets can be bought at the box during the week of showing, but the public IS asked to purchase them from the police department and help them in their eff forts to establish gym" Several hum dred tickets had been disposed of last night

 ID ALABAMA FARMS
Figures Plainly Show That an Affection Crop Does Not Pay the
 Producer

Montgomery, June zs.-(Special) )--That Alabama is making unprecedented strides toward the achievement of greater things during the next few years is shown in statistics on file at the office of F. O. Hooton markets clerk of the department of agriculture. Hundreds of farmers, having before them facts relating to the livestock industry-and facts which show beyond all doubt that cotton is not profitable product of the farm because of the manipulation of prices to satisfy the purchasers of the raw material-have gone into the livestock industry on a small scale, hoping eventually to be able to eliminate cotton and other farm prod ucts.
 Figures show that Alabama, during the past five years has made remarkable progress in the livestock industry. That the figures of the number of livestock and their total value for 1919 will show a good increase is the belief of the markets department, although it is to be

 Sergeant Carroll is very glad to get back home after having spent l9 months in Kelly field, Texas, one of the largest flying fields in the world.

BROOD SOwS INCREASE

It is shown that the number of brood scws in the state increased from 260,OW in 1918 to 2S6,O00 in 1919 The total value of other hogs on January l, 1918, was s25, ,656, ,0O0, as compared with more than g, 100000 on January l. 1919. Geneva county took the lead in raising brood sows in 1918, the total number being 22,- OO0 Covington county is shown to be in the lead with "other hogs" the total number being S6,000, and the total value being $1, 4O5,OOO. Dallas county comes sec- ond in both the number and value of "other hogs"
 Probably the most interesting figures are those relating to the number and value of horses and mules. The value Of horses and mules increased approximate ly s10,000, 900 in 1918, and estimates at the capitol indicate there will be a larger in- crease for 1919, notwithstanding the fact there were many horses and mules de- named by the government during the war. Madison county shows the best record. the total value of horses and mules being $2, GOO Several counties show the value of horses and mules to be more than $1,0o0,0o0.
 It is expected that in a short time esti- mates for the year 1919 will be in. MT. Hooton, the markets clerk, is of the opinion there will be a better record made in the live stock industry More attention to this industry is being given than ever before, and farmers, it is shown, are taking greater interest in the work -------..-----
