MANY B|G EXHIBITS FOR ALA. STATE FAIR.

The very bigness of the Alabama State Fair is evidenced from figures alone. When the true significance of these figures is determined by a visit to the state fair grounds October 4 to g, the tremendous scope and volume of the annual state exposition can more successfully be determined.
 Here are the figures that show ex- actly what may be expected in the volume of exhibits to be entered at the livestock in general fruits. vegetab ables, grains, all the products of Alabama soil, poultry, pets, needlework, culinary entries and scores of other things as well, all divided into classes and lots. The classes alone number 126. and these in turn are divided into 1,l57 lots.
 Although tIese figures mean much, their hugeness must be seen to be appreciated. The figures 1.157 signify just that number. But when live stock in pens and barns. farm products ex hibited in the big agricultural build ing, r5eedlecraft and other women's en- tries in the fine arts hall. and all the other classifications in their proper places are viewed then will one com prehend just what those figures signify
 Although there will be races. music and free attractions galore at the Ala bama State Fair the exhibitions alone will be worth many times the rail fare and the admission price, for their be- fore the eyes of every visitor will ap- pear Alabama in all her glory. The exhibits will show theImany products of the state, the richness of her soil. the wondrous things of commercial and artistic value that the south greatest commonwealth can produce.
 A visit to the various exhibits will be an education in itself as to just what Alabama and her people are accom- ,oli Sbinpr

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Old Postoffice for Market
To the Editor of The, Age Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald: In connection with this market house problem here a friend of mine made suggestion the other day which. I think, is worthy of considera ton His idea is that our present post office building should be used for a market house when it is abandoned for the new.
 l do not know if this change can be arranged but I do know that this old building would make a nice market housefand that it is we'll located for that purpose.
 Birmingham certainly needs mu nicipal market and the sooner we can get one the better 1t will be for us and the farmers who want to sell fresh fruits, vegetables and other field pro ducts in the city. Very truly yours,s

not win" control of the Senate in
1915. but bought It," Secretary Dam
icis declared in an address here today
that never before have the hopes
and desires OF tho American people
been frustrated by purchase of con-
tro! in the Senate"
The Republican majority is today
out on ball" Mr. Daniels said. adding
that "as soon as the Supreme Cour,
acts II will be in tho penitcntiary."
Purchn.ed Sent Gave Power.
"f'ut for the purchase OF q scat
in the senate from Michigan" the
Secretary declared. the Republicans
could not have organized the Senate.
could not have packed the Foreign
Relations Committee against the
league Of nations: could not have
packed the finance committee against
any reduction OF taxes. and could
not have packed the other commit
tees against any legislation looking
to the reduction OF the cost OF living.
By means or this slender and corrupt
majority, every measure looking to
world peace and world stability and
national development has been Itus-
tratcd."
Mr.. Daniels scored what he de-
scribed AS the do nothing" record
of Republicans during their control
OF Congress. declaring they had been
"recrcant to their promises" to re-
adjust war taxes. and reduce the
cost of living. although they had
held the absolute power" to do this
for two years. Bu, for these prom

that -four million young men serving
their country in war could not vote"

secretary asserted.
Prosperity Is General.
Discussing Industrial conditions
under the Wilson administration, Mr.
Daniels declared there has not only
been greater prosperity than under
any Republican administration in the
history OF the country" but it had
been more diversified"
He added that the slight depression
they are experiencing now in some
lines may he attributed largely to
the effect upon European markets
of this country's failure to ratify
the peace treaty.

fair price for his cotton today. Mr..
