CITY ID ENTERTAIN
 CANAL ASSOCIATION
Southern States Representa- tives Will Gather In Bir-
 Mingham December 6


 Meeting of the Atlantic Mississippi Canal association will be held in Bir- mingham on December 6.
 Notice of this was forwarded to Charles Francis Wood of the Port of Birmingh corporation, and the Cham- Der of Commerce.
 Arrangements will be made for d proper local representation at the meet ing
 The secretary and managing director of the association is c. c. Thomas of Waycross. Ga. The president is former Congressman W. G. Brantley, now in the service of the government at Washing ton
 The general purpose of the associa- tion is to put through Congress a bill, whose principal object is the building of canal through the northern por- ton of the Florida isthmus, which will serve to connect the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico This is the princi- pal link in q chain of intercostal devel- opment connecting the coast cities of the United tsates from Boston to Texas.
 The canal would begin at Jackson vile and cut across the peninsuIar. With this connection between the Nt- lantic and the gulf the long trip around the Florida capes would be avoided and the entire Mississippi valley and the Atlantic coast would be that much closer together.
 While the plan is an ambitious one. it has the backing of the Mississippi Valley association and that embraces a representation in Congress which, in turn, represent the major portion of the inhabitants and the major vote of the country.
 The Warrior river development is es- sentially concerned in the intercosta tal canal proposition and will be well rep resented at the approaching meeting.

WARNS AGAINST
 CURB FIRES HERE
City Engineer Asks Aid of Scouts In Saving City's Ex-
 i. pensive Property

A dst aade against the building of fires IF gfrwrs and on the streets is being startfrriy Julian Kendrick. city engineer He idWaking for the assistance of the BirmifN e'sm boy and girl scouts.
 .oftEyod see big fires built of dead wood leaves in the gutters and on the pao-ed streets" said MT. Kendrick Most ef the fires are built by children They are very injurious to the expensive Improvements which the city has been laporing for years to put down on the streets and sidewalks. These improya- nlents cost many thousands of dollars and a thoughtless child by building a fire on paved street can cause several hundred dollars worth of damage in a few minutes"
 To build fire on street paved with bituminous pavement melts the pavina and makes it necessary to replace it for seVfral feet all around the spot where the fire is built, says Mir Kendrick. This entails untold trouble. time and money besides taking up the valuable time of men who might otherwise be occupied in putting down new improve ment
 Building a fire close to curb stone heats the granite, cracks it and makes 1t flake off in big pieces The burning of leaves. which so many people seem to think absolutely necessary to their health and happiness during the fall months, reduces the average life of q piece of curb stone by two or three years.
 These things are an extra expense to the city, which might well be avoided. Y he continued. q would like to pledge the scents to refrain from building these fires themselves and obligate themselves to ask every person they see building such fires in the streets to refrain, telling them of the grave results of their actions and the trouble and expense they are causing the city government.

Judge Allen urged the members to join in backing the farmer to hold his cotton and diversity his crops so that the south may be as prosperous as any other section of the country.
 srhe banker, the merchant, the farmer. the business man and the professional man. in fact every per- son in Alabama worthy of living in the south should be soIidIy behind the nssociatiOn,. said Mir. Allen.
 southern people must realize fully the terrible mistake they have been making for the last half century in not raising sufficient food and feed crops first and then planting cot ton as surplus crop. We have fur nfshed to those who regard the south as conquered territory--as vassai state-thc means whereby they could impose fearful penalties npon us, buying our cotton at star vation prices"
 Let us be determined to abso- intely change thesc conditions henceforth and forever by enrolling under the banner of the American Cotton association, by putting into effect nnd force it's economic re- forms and thus placing the cotton
