OrGOOd of the
 Community

E A \ A ing the past year? If so, you have more reason for thanksgiving than for all the money, the fine raiment, the ease of life and the bodily pleasures that have at tended the cycle
 Has Birmingham become better place to live in owing to the effort made by you this past year?
 If that is so, today you can look your Creator in the face unafraid and the offer ing you make on the altar of than nksgiving will be fragrant in the nostrils of the Di- vine.
 This thing of being grateful because our one little cornucopla has been filled to overflowing is carrying us but half way; our gratefulness is thin and watery if we fail to embrace the community in our thoughts and to feel a real gladsomeness that it has been we'll with us as a whole.
 Wheresoever Roman went his chief pride was in proclaiming himself a citizen of Rome. To him Rome was a personifi- cation. It was his "Alma Mater" his pre- cious mother. He appreciated what it was to have that name protection wherever he went and with whomsoever he was dealing
 Are you glad that the by-product in- dustry of this district has expanded, that a great shipbuilding industry has been created, that we are on the way to the harnessing of the power of our streams, that our steel industry has grown as never before? Are you glad that those who have shod this district with seven-leagued boots are prosperous? Would you bleed them because they have done we'll for themselves and for you?
 Are you bigger in mental and moral stature than at this time last year? If so, you have more cause for thanks than if you shall have made money, but allowed your soul to shrink and shrivel. Can you rejoice when others are doing we'll in greater degree than you, or do you come to Thanksgiving with the bitter saliva of envy in your mouth?
 Are you glad that big men are doing big things for the district and the state or would you put obstacles in their path? Do you wish these big men and these big things more scope of action for the pro- duction of still bigger or would you have them cropped to the standard of little men and little things?
 He who goes to the temple and thanks God that he is a fine fellow and is rather grateful to the Creator than not for hav- ing slightly aided in the handiwork, is not really thankful. He is complacently self satisfied with his own achievement rather than appreciative of the good that he has gotten out of the wondrous workings of the Divine plan.
 And what shall be said of that man who comes to this Thanksgiving with wry face because forsooth he discovers a few weevils in the measure of the corn which has been plentiful, sweet and richly nour- ishing the past four. years? It is to be hoped there are none such in Birming- ham.
 A man gets out of his community pre- cisely what he puts into it. If his invest ment is in dollars alone, he will reap dol lars only. If it has been in position, he will reap that. If he has also invested in love of his fellow man, that will be reaped. Thieves do not break in and steal that crop. It abides.

 Review

During the past week we closed up leases aggregating nearly three quarters of a million of dollars in rentals. We are also negotiating some important sales of down. town property which will be an- nounced soon.
 The comparatively brief spell of fair weather was marked by an active inquiry for the limited number of residences which we have completed in the Country Club District. These Iare now virtually ready for oc- cupancy and we are offering them for sale at attractive prices, as we bought the materials for their con- struction considerably under what the market is today.
 We report a strong inquiry for residential sites in Mountain Terrace and Altamont and Cliff Roads. In this connection an-l -nounce we have had some interesting plans prepared whereby the wing of a resi- dence may be built first, providing a living room dining room, kitchen. etc. downs tairs. and two bed rooms and a bath the upper floor. This wing will harmonze with the remainder of the house when it is completed hereafter This is an enlargement of the Simplicity Home movement with which are cooperating. but, of course, is not in- tended to take the place of the Simplicity Home" It is for those who wish to make a larger expenditure with consistent economy.
 The First National Bank of Fairfield has made application to increase it's capital stock from s25,0O0 to S50,000. This is ind- cation of the extent to which Fairfield is de- veloping.
 By the way. why not go out to Fair field this Sunday afternoon and enjoy the open-air concert which that live municipality is giving with the assistance of the famous T. C. I. band?
