EDWARD TAYLOR EMPLOYS
POOR METHOD TO AID TOWN

1t is poor policy to tell falsehood
to attain something. There is nothing
to be gained and person usually gets
in bad. The following is taken from
an official report and refers in part
to our forest office, which Congress-
man Taylor tells committee at Wash
tngton something's that have a ques-
ton mark after them. AS far as Mont
rose is concerned we hope she can
secure federal building, but we do
not believe that there is any COM
munity that wants a building or any
thing else il they are compelled to
stoop to such methods as these. The
official document in reference to our
forest office is herewith appended:

mittee of the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds in the House
of Representatives on bills for Public

Head Tax Gives
Uncle Sam Extra

The So tax on immigrants,
which immigration authorities
say is a small fortune to the i'm

privation. has yielded since 1910
q surplus of nearly $4,000. 900
ln-excess of the running expenses
of the immigration Bureau. and

Treasury with. other taxes.
This IS head tax is a COM
paratively new institution. In
1882 an immigration act was
passed which established an i'm
migration fund" providing for a
head tax of so cents to be used
to defray the expense Of running
the Immigration Bureau. But
this amount has been gradually
increased, until in 1917 a law,
under which the present Immi-
grafton Bureau Is acting, pro-
vided for q head tax. with cer-
tain exceptions, of sS. Further
more, the scope Of the head tax
has been extended to include
Canada, Newfoundland, Cuba and

Congress now makes annual
appropriations to the Immigra-
tion Bureau for its maintenance

When man has been around the world once he is considered ca travelled
 man." If he goes around the world twice, he cinches the title. But what about a man who goes around 4S3 times, even if it is only in play.
 When "The Man Who Came Back started on it's phenomenal run at the New York Playhouse on Septemo Der 2, 1916, some statistical person put on tho programme at the end of each scene, the number of miles between that scene and the one following it. Thus, when the hero goes at the end of the first act from New York to San Fran> cisco, we read that the distance from New York to San Francisco is 3,170 miles, and the acts and the hero goes on, that the distance from San Francisco to Shanghai is 6,560; to Hon. olulu, 4,36O miles, and from Honolulu back to New York again, 5,370 miles. |This, if you are good at figures. makes an evenings run of l9.460 miles for

 The buying of cotton. as reported by the local cotton brokers, has been prac- tically the same for the past ten days The entire south as well as the ma . jority of the cotton centers of the belt, has reported q decrease in quotations in
 the face of the fact that the farmers everywhere are holding their cotton. s. R. Stewart. local cotton broker, says that he believes that cotton will. raise several points in the next few days It is bound to, says Mir. Stewart, and the present decrease is caused by slight depression in the cotton goods market.
 MT. Stewart also stated that he did not put, much faith in all those terror"
 reports that the farmers were going to hold their cotton forever if the 'prcs did not go to 40 cents a pound. It is 8 natural thing for any man to hold his merchandise rather than sell it at less than what it cost him. It is the same with the farmers. MT. Stewart said. and he believes that quotations will again be on the increase a early date and all this talk about holding cotton will be a thing of the past
 The cotton market closed yesterday with the following quotations: Good middling at 1924 C. strict middling at 19Hc; middling at 1SAc, and strict low middling at 15Ac.

CITY PRAISED FOR
 IFS HOSPITALITY Visiting Aeronauts Are Guests of Honor At Realtors
 Luncheon

Another link was added to the splendid chain of entertainments Is Y hich have been rendered the visit irg balloonists yesterday at the lunch- con given them in the afternoon by the Birmingham Real Estate Ex- change at the Southern Club.
 Captain Weeks and Alan R. flaw Icy were the speakers, and other vis- iting areonauts made short talks.
 Major Valle of the Italian team, a representative of the French team, Lieutenant DeMuyster of the Belgian teams and number of the other vIs- itors, including Ralph Upson. were the guests of honor. Maj. Virgil Evans acted as postmaster.
 Birmingham was highly praised for her hospitality by the speakers and tf ose of Belgium. France and Italy said that they would return home with 8 deeper sense of the hospitality of the people of this country and of Bfr- ningham particularly.
 We do not fully realize what 1t means for Italy, Belgium and France to send these men here to compete in this race,p said Captain Weeks These men. especially the BeIgians come from a country that is greatly dis turbed with matters of reconstruc- ton. and it is indeed credit to them to come here for this race. And let me say that you haven't the faintest idea hcw they, as well as the American ball. loon men, appreciate your wonderful Hospitality"
 Birmingham was urged to get behind the aerial mail service for the city by Alan R, Hawley of the American Aero Club. He said that other countries are getting along in an aerial way faster than this country and said that we should wake up to it's possibilities.
 Major Evans complimented the busi- ness men of the city for the manner in which they have entertained the vis- itors and reviewed what had been done on similar occasions in other cities adding that Birmingham had eclipsed them all.
 A short talk was made by W. V. M. Robertson. Jr.. in which he urged mem bers of the Real-Estate Exchange 10 support the dinner and dance to be tondered the balloonists.

FIELDS MINISTRIES

It is difficult to introduce originality
 in minstrel show, but Al G. Field
 Company, which opened an engagement
 at the Jefferson last night, offers d va
 riety of entertainment that is sure to
 please all who enjoy this form of en-
 tertainment.
 In vocal strength the organization IS one of the best Mr. F'iefd has gotten to- gether in several seasons. Much atten- tion has been devoted to the vocal num- bers, and the soloists, as well as the en- sembles, won deserved applause. Jack Richards was as usual in superb form
 and carried off the honors by his rich and powerful tenor voice. Others who were not far behind in ability were
 John Church, a weil-known member ot the Field organization, and Lloyd Gilbert. The first part differed from the con
 yentional minstrel show, being given more elasticity and variety by a series
 of songs and dances presented with something of a musical comedy effect.
 Johnny Healy did his famous character ization of Old Black Joe." with which his name has been associated for many an actor was in some Canadian produc-
