 The magnificent London house of the duchess, which her father, William K. Vanderbilt, Sr., presented to her. was not occupied during the war. the duchess pre- ferring more simple residence. The house recently was rented for use as of fees by the League of Nations.

OIL DEVELOPMENTS
 IN WESTERN STATES
Conservative Oil Company Announces Leases In Texas and Louisi-
 ana Fields

The Conservative Oil Company an nounces the possession of oil leases in the Homer and Bulls Bayou fields of Louisiana and the Burk Burnett field in Texas.
 They give an interesting description of gushers that have been brought in in those fields during the past several months
 An interesting feature about the oil developments in Texas and Louisiana is that many wells have been brought in by different companies operating in those states; some on lands that had been neglected for many years, though not far from what is known as proven territory.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Federal Work at Hillsboro

To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 notice in your paper of the 18th wonderful statement by two of Uncle Sam's faithful servants, F.. H. Croft and w. A. Romine As citizen of this town and knowing the results of their visit, feel it my duty to correct their preposterous report They came to Hillsboro and searched about fifteen or twenty negroes Ono white men), and finally found one-half pint of whisky on one negro and a pistol on another. which they appropriated.
 I asked them to leave the pistol with the constable. which they refused to do. They went out to the station. the train being about due. I sent the con- stable to ask them to show their au-
 thority for what they had accom-
 plished. During this conversation ten
 or fifteen white and colored people as- sembled, merely through curiosity. No indication of violence was shown whatever. This is the extent of the trouble
 They also claim to have captured a still of eighty-five gallons capacity, and destroyed 1,600 gallons of bcer, west of Hillsboro. whcih is absolutely incorrect from all evidence I can get. l. L. JAMES, N P. and Ex-officio J. P. Hillsboro, March IT. 1920.

For the Good of
 the Community

ID IRMINGHAM people, in a general O way, understand the advantages ac- cr11ing to their city through the commer- cial development of the Warrior river.
 They have been told repeatedly, and they now know, that Birmingham gets the benefit of 20 per cent reduction on all freight shipments by way of the Warrior. Merely calling of 20 per cent does not sound big. It is not really impressive. , But this reduction means big things for Birmingham and will figure largely in the expansion of her commercial and ln- dustrial interests.
 Transportation charges enter largely into the cost of every commodity. Freight rates are based on both haulage between points and handling at terminals. The less the terminal cost the less the total charge.
 General Manager Charles F. Wood of the Port of Birmingham corporation states it thus.
 Transportation is just as much cost of production of raw materials, or labor.
 Terminal charges are the largest item in transportation cost.
 "A cargo of coal once loaded can be moved from Mobile to Rio de Janiero for less than it costs to move it sixty feet by ordinary methods at the terminal.
 "A saving of twelve cents per ton ln terminal charges is equivalent to 25O miles of ocean steaming.
 Under pre-war conditions it was es- timated that the average expense of nov ing a ton of freight 240 miles on a rail- road in the United States was "A cents, the average cost of handling the same ton at the terminals was 75 cents
 ssWhen the farmer got 50 cents per bushel for potatoes, it cost 20 cents to get the potatoes to the commission merchant, one-half of which on the average was an unnecessary expense due to inadequate terminal facilities. The commission mer- :. chant added 100 per cent and sold the potatoes to the grocer for S1.4O. The grocer added 50 cents and the cost to the consumer was S2.10. In the process, the 10 cents wasted in excess charges had in creased to 30 cents which amount was taken from the consumer because of in efficiency in handling at the terminal
 Tt costs less to move cargo of sugar from Havana, Cuba, to Boston, Mass, than it does to move the cargo from one pier to another in Boston.
 Tt costs on an average 27 cents to move tone of freight ninety miles from Philadelphia to New York. The term inal charges at the two ends of the haul average S3.65, or nearly fourteen times as much"
 Mr. Wood prepared this data for use on a chart to be used in the campaign for ratifying constitutional amendment to be voted on at the November election, which if ratified will authorize the state of Alabama to use it's credit in develop ing the port of Mobile.
 Birmingham is interested in the fullest possible development of the port of Mo- bile because through that port, at the mouth of the Warrior river, her products will go to all parts of the world.
 Epitomized: Warrior river freight rates to and from Birmingham are 20 per cent lower than all rail rates.
