OIL PROSPECTS GOOD

lette, near PineviIle. and only about
three miles from the City Hall in Alex

TICK QUARANTINE
RE-ESTABLISHED


The Federal quarantine for cattle
fever tick has ben replaced on the par
ishes Of Beauregard. Caldwell, Grant.
Jackson, Red River. Union. Franklin.
Pomte Coupe. and Washington IN Lou
isiana, and Ouachita County in Arkan-
sas, by order Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. effective Sept
rs, 1920. The effect Of the quaran-
tine is that cattle can not be shipped
interstate from these regions except un-
der the regulations promulgated BY the
secretary Of agriculture.
The first five parishes named were
released from quarantine on December
|, 1918. and the remaining four par
|ishes named and Ouachita county were
released December I, 1917; but the
cattle men and local authorities in
these regions have failed to cooperate.
In the 'mopping up" work, it is de-
clared, and ticks have multiplied until
they now constitute a menace to near
by parishes and counties that are tick
free or that are eradicating ticks. All
other released regions in Louisiana and
Arkansas are doing satisfactory mop
ping up work, the department says.
and it is believed that no other replace
ment Of quarantine will be found nee
essary.

 Month

Black and white taxicabs, with gen. uine taximeters, are soon to be in op- eration on the streets of Birmingham.

 schedule of rates based on the dis tance travelled is being prepared and 1t Is understood that the charges will be considerably less than has been customary here.
 One of the chief advantages of tho new system is that there is no chance for dispute about distances or rates. The taximeters are inspected regularly by the city and when the trip is com pleted they show on the dial the exact amount due by the passenger.
 The new black and white cabs will have regular stations in the downtown section. They will be at the Louisville and Nashville station, the Terminal, in the Tutwiler neighborhood and at the Hillman hotel Those who are intro ducing the new taxicabs in Birming- ham expect the service to grow con- tinually in popularity.

MATERIAL SAVING
 AT CITY MARKET
Housewives and Truckers , Pleased With New Loca-
 tiOn--Fair Prices Hold

Many Birmingham housewives were present on the second day of the new city market and prices obtained dem onstrated the fact that a material sav- ing can be made by purchasing direct from the farmer While the farmer him self can obtain better price than by selling to peddlers
 Prices for different articles were as follows:
 Half bushel basket of tomatoes. 60 cents; half bushel basket of peac. 50 cents; half bushel of apples, 50 cents; firm full corn, 40 cents dozen; fresh pears. 50 cents a peck; cantaloupes.Ss1 s1 for a basket of sixteen.
 The fact that the farmers disliked to break baskets was handicap at first, but women solved the problem by banding together and puhchasing a basket between two or three and divid- ing it successfully.
 Mrs. J. E. Frazier. executive secre- tary of the department of justice to re- duce the high cost of living. stated that she was surprised with the rhice spirit of cooperation which she found among the truckers and farmers. They were willing to hold off in order to give the housewives chance to se- cure vegetables before the peddlers.
 There were large number of women there. and all who spoke to Mrs. Frazier were delighted with the prices and freshness of the produce. Wagons were empty by $40 o'clock. and Mrs Frazier urges that all women come be- fore breakfast if possible.
 Several of the truckers present yes terday expressed themselves as being pleased with their new location. East street. near Capitol Park Two stated that they had ceased bring ing stuff to Birmingham because of the undesira bility of the Morris ave nue market. But now, they said, they would resume bringing their produce to market
