SAVE S75,OO0 BY A PORT SHIPMENT 5000 Tons of Pipe Sent From Mobile to Pacific
 Coast
Pipe manufacturers of the Birmingham district are sav- ing $75,000 on one shipment of pipe to the Pacific coast.

Page & Jones, ship brokers of Mo- 5000 tons of cast iron pipe from ths plants ot the United States Cast Iron
 Pipe and the American Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry companies.
 This pipe Is going to Mobile In
 freight cars From Mobile to the coast it will go in vessels now loading via the Panama canal The destination will be Los Angeles and San Fran cisco. From these two basins the pips
 will be distributed to various Cali fornia municipalities. PIPE CARGO The cargo includes both water and gas ripe. Il is understood that the two | interests participate about equally in the tonnage.
 The saving of s75.ooo results from
 the freight rate via Mobile and thence by water. being s15 per ton under the straight transcontinental rail trans 1 portation charge. In a matter of 5000 | tons this $15 per ton amounts to $7o,- | 900.
 This shipment of pipe to the Pa- cific coast by this route will be the | third in recent months. Two pre- ! | were carried from Mobile to the l coast in exactly two weeks and l there was not piece of broken | or bent pipe. The movement was l economic and made with dispatch. 1 The ships made a much faster trip | than freight trains had heretofore 1 done.
 NEW LINE A news item from Mobile is to the effect that Page & Jones will be agents 1 for regular line between Mobile and | the Pacific coast. It Is believed that this decision was reached following success of the maiden trips made dur. ing April and May between these 1 points.
 The total of cast iron pipe in the 1 three cargoes will have been 12,00t | tons. With pipe valued at $70 to $7; fob. pipe works, industrial experts

 Despite a gap of a hundred miles between the left flank of Wrangers army and the Rumanian front, west of Udessa, capture of the Donetz coal basin can be accomplished by turn ing movement on the left flank and maintaining the left wing on the Dneiper river, the report contended. Should Wrangel. however, desire to press his advance to Moscow, he could only do so, according to the statement, by advancing his left flank and expos ing it to attack from the Ukraine. fail- ing simultaneous Rumanian advance or the reinforcement and extension of line.
 No better base for operations against northwestern Russia might have been chosen in the opinion of military experts, than tha of the Crinea, selected by Wrangel It's value lies. it is pointed out. in the fact that it is almost a detached 'sland from the continent of Europe, se- cure against any force, no matter how powerful, attacking from the north.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
COST OF COTTON CROP
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 I notice much Is being said pro and con about the cotton crop of Alabama Akron is in one of the best farming sections anywhere in the state for all kinds of crops. I thought up to aoout July 25 that the cotton crop was good' and 1t was, but since then owing to excessive rains and the ravages of the boil weevil 1t has been cut off 33 Is per cent. It Is not as good in this sec ton as 1t was last year. I see no req son why the prices do not get better. This has been very costly crop to make owing to the scarcity Of labor and the high price of feedstuff. don't see how the farmer can get through under 45 or 50 cents per pound l for his cotton. I don't think the farmer ever had better time to hold than now. Join the Farmers Union and stick and they can get what cotton Is
 l worth They have bowed to the dic- tates ~ Wall street long enough. No
 better time to break the shackles that
 held them down than now. Be men,
 and say to the money sharks You shall
 | dictate to us no longer.
 | Look at beef cattle gone all to pieces hides gone to nothing, with shoes going up. Something rotten up the creek. When Uncle Sam called
 l for men to go to the front to fight for
 our country. who was the first to re-
 l spond? The sons of the farmers, who were the first to make the Germans turn their backs on Paris. We have
 made a big corn crop and have a very
 good hog crop. so we can hold cotton
 1 as long as we want to. W. c. GEwIN. M. D. Akron. August 27 1920
