The matter of establishing free auto= mobile camp for the benefit of tourists was taken up last week at a meeting or the club directors and 1t is now thought the camp may become a reality. It IS said by the secretary that almost every day some tourist calls at tho office and asks if Birmingham has such a camp. Duff Green, a member of the board. having recently returned from an eS- tended motor trip, is strongly in favor of the movement, it is said. The matter will be left with the miscellaneous con- mittee which will arrange for tho loca7 tion of the camp and the installation or free light and water. q-

The drive for money is to be called the Mercy Home drive, for the house where the collectively owned children live. In that house there are 80 little souls who came to the city with inoorn conviction which is the heritage of every child that they are due something in this world.
 It is up to the citizens of Birmingham to sec that they are not disappointed.
 The Mercy Home, situated on Eleventh avenue, north, between Twenty first and Twenty-second streets, is big modern brick building equipped with all con- veniences and with accommodations for about 100 children. Many people do no, know that the Mercy Home, which Is perhaps the oldest institution of it's kind in Birmingham, even exists. So quietly and so efficiently has the work gone on that newcomers often do not hear of the institution for several years after they arrive in Birmingham
 VISITORS WELCOME
 Visitors are always welcome 10 20 and see the work which goes on there every day under the supervision of the house mother, Mrs. Margaret C. Ramsey. They are privileged to take a tour of inspec- tion from the front door to the laundry and furnaces in the basement and see the children at their work and their play
 For the most part the home is sup ported by the donations of Birmingham citizens who feel their responsibility to- ward the children who live there, and the officials of the home feel that the people who support the institution are always welcome
 While it is maintained in part as a home for homeless children, the officials realize that private home is the best place for growing child. and they try Always to- place the children in good homes as quickly as they can. When there are relatives, of course the child is placed with them as soon as they can be helped to a suitable situation for talk ing care of the little one.

 BOYS AT PLAY
 As one approaches the home one cannot help b1t observe that the yard is full of small boys between the ages of { and 10. The boys seem to be nav-ng a great time of it running and jumping and trumbling over one another like a litter of playful puppies.
 If one happens to be a woman. which one emphatically was in this case she is instantly on the defensive and jealous on behalf of the girls. But then she observes rather sensibiy, and she thinks Well, the girls must get used to it Boys have it all over them to start with just by virtue of being born boys"
 Meanwhile the boys continue to play and their dirty, impudent faces and

TOM LONG VIGOROUS AS EVER IN VIEWS 0N CURRENT WRONG
Thinks Farmers Are Being Mistreated and Thinks Dem ocratic Administration Has
 Made BIunderS

Tom Long, for many years a resident of Jasper, but now engaged in the lumber business at Jacksonville, Fla, does not think that the farmer of the south is getting a square deal on the cotton market.
 '1t is an outrage, said Mir. Long last night, the way the farmer is being rob bed. He made his crop on the cost of a high market and now the price has dropped so low that many of them will not realize enough from their crop to pay for the fertilizer that was used in it's production. Cotton has sold as low as cents pound at Jasper this fall for this years crop.
 , The following prices were submitted to me about tight days ago by J. M. Phillips of the firm, Phillips and stan ley of Jasper: Good middlng., 1sc; strict middling, 1S.25cj middling, l7.50c; strict low middling, 1s.5Oc; low mid ding, 7.5Uc This was more than a week ago, when the market was about 1 cents higher than it is today.
 '.FOr 70 years of my life was n
 cotton buyer. During that period I
 never saw more than cents differ
 ence between middIing and low
 middinE. Usually the differ
 ence was between 1-4 and 1 cent.
 Now there is difference of 10
 cents. with the result that many
 farmers are realizing as little ms
 cents per pound for cotton which
 it costs them more than four times
 thnt price to produce. This 5-cents
 cotton is not bad cotton. either.

FARMER THE GOAT

The weather this fall has been un- usually good, and the cotton is cleaner than 1t has been in a number Of years. The fault does not lie with the cotton. The trouble is with the spinners. ihese me now have on hand large supply Of high h-priced cotton, and they mem to run the price of this years crop so
 low that it will offset their low, thus making the farmer the goat.
 'tI am not a farmer, nor a son of a farmers; neither was my grandfather a farmer and l am not politician and have no ak to grind, but it does look like sin and a shame that the farmer lis being robbed as he is. Alabama should take some measure to protect the men who feed her.
 "A school boy knows that we are more dependent upon the farmer than any other class of men in the world, yet lhe Is kicked about and gets the dirty end of the stick on every hand,
 He lis not the man who has kicked about the high cost of living. ,Ie as gone ahead and paid the excessive profits on things that he has to buy and said nothing. IL is organized labor that has made the biggest howl about the high cost of living and never did labor receive higher pay than today.
 The cost of goods produced by or> ganized labor goes higher and higner and farm products go lower. There i. breakfast bacon selling for 50 cents Fer pound, and the farmer who raised the hog got only 10 cents to 103a cents Der pound for his part. Look at the rice Of shoes' Is it the farmer who raises the COW from which the hide came, or . the man who makes the shoe that gets
 the big price. Personally 1 would be glad to See man get s5,000 for curry Ing horse, if everything else were in proportion High prices are n good thing to have when everything is iro> portionately high. It is decidedly bad when prices are out of proportion, as tlev arc today
