Prices To Go I'd Again

Experts on the condition of the food
market say that the present lowering
of prices On some commodities is only
temporary and they will soon go back
to their former high level. The trans
portation congestion has been relieved
to some extent and this permitted
thousands of tons of foodstuff to be
moved, causing a break in the prices.
As soon as this is disposed of the a
ton will take place. Let US hope they
are wrong.

REMINDER OF WAR
 MOVED TO FAIRFIELD
Information Bureau of War Com munity Service Taken From Down town Corner Yesterday-Actiye
 Center in War
By FRANK WILLIS BARNETT

The snug little house which sat for months on the corner of Twentieth street and Second avenue will be missed from its accustomed place, for it was put on trucks yesterday and carried to Fairfield.
 It was one of the last signs of the, war, for it stood sentinel when the boys were overseas and for a long while after they came home as the house of information.
 It was the visible part of the War Community Service and was erected largely through the efforts of pr. Courtney W. Shropshire, president of the Civitans, and was the means of doing a genuine service. as the motto inscribed on it's walls was Ask us; if we don't know, we will find out"
 But now it reposes on a lot in Fair field outside the city limits, for it was bought by two enterprising youAg men, Ebert s. Jemison and F. B. Johnson. and it will no longer be public head quarters for those in search of in. formation, but will retire to private life.
 The stranger within our gates will have to call at the Chamber or Com merce, take an elevator up to the Civic Association or drop in at the offiee or the Birmingham Automobile CIuo, TOT there is no trace left of the attractive little building Whlch useu lo ouo ptS turesdueness to one of our ousiest downtown corners.
 I wonder if, when the house or ln- formation passed the fair grounds Vulcan had thoughts of the time when he was nat only the talk of the town and the state. but the nation, and hao a place of honor at the worlds exposl- ton. but now was lost to view save TOT one brief week when the gates Of the fair are opened.
 It seems to me that Fairtlelo naS nut one over on Birmingham, for 1t would appear that the hustling little city has Kidnapped overnight the house of information of it's big brother. Per haps it will be the means of more or our citizens running down to get 8 line on whats doing in Fairfield

ENDORSEMENT DECLINED

Montgomery, February 9.-(Special.)- Reports received by the state banking department indicate that representatives of the express companies in various sec tions of Alabama have declined to in- dorse checks placed in their hands for collection over the counter at banks which have declined to remit without the collec- ton of exchange. D. F. Green, state superintendent of banks, today stated that his information did not show whether the companies had adopted the policy of refusing to endorse the checks or whether the agents were acting of their own volition.
 The banking department last week re- quested all state banks to require those presenting checks to endorse them and to guarantee all previous endorsements. When state banks declined to pay checks at par the Birmingham branch of the federal reserve bank Of Atlanta delivered them to the express companies for col lection over the counter.
