VALUED EXHIBITS

Exhibits at the fair this year are the best in history, according to fair off, ficials. The cattle exhibit disclosed mere and finer specimens of cattle of the best breeds than probably have ever been gathered here before. Included in this exhibit of cattle is some valued at SCOOP each, while the majority are worth from $1,000 to S3,0O0 per head There are also some valued at s1O,o00 each, and together the live stock on display at the eastern end of the fair grounds represents sev- eral hundred thousand dollars.
 In the womans department under the grandstand are two splendid educational exhibits. One from the Jefferson county schools and the other from the Birmng- ham schools One of the first things that attracts the visitor to the rural school exhibit is the excellent display of canned gods, preserves, jellies and fancy bakery wares. In addition the sewing and needle work is splendid, and show what progress the county schools are mak- ing along this line The boys are not for gotten in this exhibit, and some of the work of the manual training departments are on display.

COAL AREA QUIET
 |SREPORTEDFROM
 ALtHEADQUARTERS
Operators Report Men Retur- ing--Union Says Contract
 Miners Working Double
 Shift, Hence Big Output

Military headquarters, the coal
 operators and the union mine offi- cials reported prevalence of quiet
 throughout the mining field yes-
 terday, with no event out of the l, ordinary.
 Operators are claiming with greater air of confidence every day that men are returning to work. As many as fifteen old men were reported yesterday as seeking re-employment at their former places.
 The influx of new workers into
 the district is noticeable. They are
 seen coming from the trains and . going through the streets with
 their belongings.
 Car reports indicate that the federal report on production for last week will reach between 255, 900 and 26O.o00 tons. Allowing for variance between osti- mate and the reports direct from mines, production of 250 900 tons seems as- sured. That will be 5000 tons over the preceding week and 53,000 tons over the low mark of 1000 tons estab- lished by the strikers the week before.
 Van Bitner, representing the na- tfonal mine union. says emphasis
 should be laid on the amount of
 conl that Is being produced at the mines with which the union has contracts. He claims that they are
 working on full turn with full
 crews.
 J. l.. Clemo, secretary of the miners union, says some of these contract mines are working on double turn.

SERVICE ID FORM ARISTOCRACY OF
 WORLDS FUTURE
w. R. c. Smith, District Presi- dent of Rotary, Guest of Birmingham Members at
 Luncheon

Members of the Rotary Club of Birmingham were putting their best foot foremost yester- day at 1 o'clock when they had as their guest the district gover- nor, w. R. c. Smith, of Atlanta.
 Every man who had a parlor trick was requested to get up and perform and the Rotarians are not particularly noted for being backward in coming forward.
 Harry WheelOck, as the first
 president of the Birmingham club.
 was requested to stand and let
 the district governor and his fei-
 low Rotarians sec the only man
 who can claim this distinction,
 which he did with nonchalance.
 Henry Fowlkes and Hill Ferguson, the only two Rotarians who have not missed single meeting this year, were accorded the same honor and stood for a full minute while other members ac- corded them the admiration which was due their punctuality and regularity.
 These and several other signal hon. ors which were bestowed on the de- serving were followed by the intro- duction of the visitors to the club.
 One of the most distinguished of these was Jersey Ringel, the aeroplane spider who cannot fall off of the plane, no matter what position it takes. He is stunting at the Alabama State Fair all this week.
 The programme was concluded
 with the address by District Cover
 nor Smith, who predicted that in
 the coming generations the aristoc-
 racy of service will he the arfstoc-
 racy which supplants that of kings
 and miIlionaires.
 The general meaning and the aims of the club were clearly defined by the district governor who stressed the point that to a Rotarian and to all men the greatest duty in living should be the duty to coming generations.
 Rotary is the lever by which men lift themselves from selfish inertia to helpful service said MT. Smith.

 It is generally conceded that the free acts are the best ever offered the Bir~ mingham public by the fair association. Each act is received with enthusiasm and from the time this performance begins until the Good Night" sign is flashed, there is not a dull minute. One of the big features is the famous Kiltie band, composed of thirty-five talented Scotch Highland musicians. Captain John Slater of the British army, is the leader. This band, which is said to be the best ever heard at the state fair, receives an ovation from the thousands of spectators at each performance. Har- old Swain, vocalist and saxophone solo, ist, Pipe Major James Frazier, late or the Gordon Highlanders, which was one of the leading Sotcs organizations prac- tically wiped out in the world war, come
