OLD COLONY CLUB
 ID OPEN BRANCH Club to Have Headquarters at TutWiIer Hote!---J. C. Webb
 Manager

On November 4 the Birmingham branch of the Old Colony Club will have it's formal opening at the club Headquarters in the Tutwiler hotel. Edgar Sands DeWolfe, general man ager, who was in the city for several days, made the final arrangements and the club, although not formally in- augurated, is ready for business. The headquarters will occupy 2,5OO square feet on the second floor, with all the appointments and conveniences of city club for me. J. c. Webb has been appointed resident manager.
 We are ready to serve" said Mir. DeWolfe. That is our slogan and for that reason we have had wonderful success. Our club has come to mean more than an organization to relieve the overburdened business man of se- curing reservation and transportation although that is always done with un- surpassed efficiency. There is a feeling of good fellowship between the mem bers and we are being of real value to many of the most prominent business men in the country through our infor- nation bureau and our New York bank.
 sT am often reminded of the com parison our president made. After tell ing of the modern way in which trains are operated, having a switch tower at a vantage point so that the switch men, having anticipated the onrushing train, throws the switch and saves time and annoyance to the passengers. President Albert Norton said the Old Colony Clubs were the switch towers of energy.
 We believe that the Old Colony Club will be a credit to your great indus trial city, for which I wish to con graduate it's citizens. There is, in- deed, fine future for Birmingham"

Farmers who supply the city with fresh country produce at the new city market every morning say they are willing to be at the park every Saturday evening from 6 until Il o'clock so as to supply their patrons with fresh produce for Sunday.
 The produce that will be sold at the market on Saturday night will not be that which could not be sold and was left over from the morning. All of the farmers say they will make special trip back to the farms Saturday after noon and that when they get back in the city later in the evening, they Will have their wagons and trucks filled with fresh country produce.
 Many of the produce men report that they are badly handicapped for the want of the proper lights early in the morning. When the new market is opened for Saturday nights business, many of the farmers report that they don't see how they are going to get along without at least several arc east side of the park.

 Reports of production for the week ending September II compiled in the office of the federal trade mine statis- |tician show a total output during that week of 247,00 tons.
 This compares with a production of 253,0 tons during the preceding week, prior to the general strike call. The strike call, on the face of it, re- duced the reported and officially stated output by 5000 tons, or less than per |cent.
 The statistician estimated that mines producing 25,000 tons failed to report production for the week preceding the strike and figured the actual produc- tion of that week at 27S,000 tons.

 Allowing both reported and esti- mated tonnages, the totals for the two weeks would be as follows:

 more lights for the market was heard yesterday morning. but no definite ac- tion has been taken on the matter as yet.
 BUSINESS INCREASING
 Business is on the increase Aaily, the farmers report, and every line of their produce is nearly always sold out be- fore 10 o'clock each morning. Tho farmers say that they believe they will be doing the people of Birmingham favor by keeping open on Saturday nights as the same reasonable prices that are charged for the produce in the mornings will be in effect at night.
 People living four and five miles out from the city are making trips to the park as early as 5;30 o'clock in the morning. The early morning crowds have bsen on the increase daily since many of the farmers several days ago, agreed to sell less than basket lots.
 When the new city market first
 opened, many of the farmers
 seemed to have the idea that they
 would have lot of their produce
 left on their hands if they sold
 it in 15c and 25c lots. But now the
 farmers realize that Fl bosta their
 sales to sell in small lots and near
 1y nII of them have been converted
 to the idea.
 As soon as cool weather arrives and hog killing time comes around many of the farmers say that they will have pork, sausage and many other kinds of meats to sell at the market. Many different varieties of vegetables are already getting scarce. Many of the | farmers report that beans especially pole beans, are being destroyed by tho bugs faster than they can pick them and bring them in. They also report that none of the government remedies or anything else has had very much effect in killing these destroyers
 FRESH MEAT
 The farmers are waiting for cool weather to come before Killing their cattle so that they will not be put to any extra expense in buying ice. They say that they are making only small profit on anything they sell and any overhead expense would soon put them out of the running.
 The farmers report they have large quantities of butter. eggs and milk that they cannot dispose of on their farms and that if the housewives of the city will come out to the park some morn ing and make q definite engagement for certain amount each morning that they will be more than willing to bring the butter. eggs and milk. Sweet potatoes are the biggest sellers at the new city market and are seH- ing at from Toe to s1.25 per basket. Birmingham grown celery is another big seller. prices range from Sc to 2Oc per bunch. Only d few watermelons are to be found and these are selling at from 40c to 90c apiece.
 Corn is selling at from soc to 35c dozen. Pole beans, $i q basket; okra. from COG to 90c per basket. Other quotations in basket lots are: Toma- toes, 50 to sl; peppers, soc to COG: l green peas, 4oc to S5c; apples, soc to | 75c; green butter beans. s1 to $150-
