For Good of the
 Community

Interested as good cltlZenS are and should be in that important event, the Bir mingham district has attained momen- tum that nothing can head off.
 Recent marks of progress are of varied character, but all tend to a greater Bir- mingham Sundays Age-Herald teemed with their recital. A few of them:
 The Emipre building deal following close on the heels of the purchase of the Jefferson County Bank building Out side capital is realizing value of invest ment in central Birmingham business property.
 Chamber of Commerce has organized the merchants and manufacturers into an association to bring out-of-town mer- chants to Birmingham on refund of trans portation plan.
 Steel Cities Chemical Company has in- creased it's capital from S150,000 to S45O,000.
 County of Jefferson tax valuations in- creased from $170, 100000 in 1919 to $225, 100000 in 1920. Forty-three of it's corporate enterprises are assessed at S70,000,000.
 Jemison-Seibels Real Estate and Insur- ance Company will build home for their big business at cost of $200,000.
 One of the largest water pipe orders in months booked by the U. s. Pipe Con- pany for it's Birmingham and Bessemer plants; 5000 tons for the city of New Or leans.
 First of the self-propellers designed and built for the Warrior river on its way south with the first of the new power boats also especially designed for Warrior serv- ice. This means the induction of the Warrior river into the regular and per- manent business of transporting ner- chandise between Birmingham and Mo- bile and New Orleans. It means freight rate independence.
 The $250, ,000 put up by the Avondale mills to help tide cotton farmers over the low market is operating.
 The Junior Chamber of Commerce is to be organized this week. That will bring the energies of the younger men of the community into active play for the in- terests of the community
 The city is in financial position, incl dent to increased revenues, to do few things for the people this coming year There is promise of an additional elevator In the city hall and a municipal band.
 Retail merchants are doing fine busi- ness this fall
 While the thrilled tonnage of the Steel Corporation has decreased some in the past month, it is still more than ~6O per cent ahead of this time year ago. To be more precise, the thrilled tonnage on September 30th, 1920, was 1O,374.OOO tons and on that date year ago it was 6,284,00O tons.
 If there are lower prices for some farm products, there are likewise lower prices for the things which the farmer must pur- chase for himself and family and for the operation of his farm next season. Just wonderful how things like this have way of evening up. If hay is cheaper, so are automobiles.
 In two more weeks another president will have been chosen and all sorts of business will go ahead, no matter whether 1t be republican or a democrat No party howsoever strongly intrenched in power, is going to play ducks and drakes with the destinies of America.
