This may be good policy. but

will be logical TO expect harder
picking as the winter works along

cattle and prime yeariings that

After touching low spot on the

acted. Mid-December usually es-
tablishes a winter trading basis,
and there is no reason to expect de-
parture from this precedent
Assumption by the bear element
that the maturing hog crop is con-
siderably heavier than last year is
declared to be entirely without
warrant; on the contrary the bull

Hog Crop Not Heavier.

According to q bulletin Just is
sued by the Chicago livestock ex-
change. a cut of 40 per cent in cat
tie receipts has relieved the recent
congestion.
Unsatisfactory market conditions
have undoubtedly been aggravated
by the dumping of short-fed stuff
Feeders have unloaded thousands
of steers that would have been car
ried another so to 80 days had con-
fidence not been impaired.
The break in fat cattle has natur-
ally curtailed feeder demand This
is a deplorable phase of the whole
situation, dealers say, and may be
variously construed. The country
wide movement is freighted with
light steers reversing the buying
of last season
There exists a potential buying
power for stock cattle; also a dis
position to defer purchasing in ex-
pectation of getting in on a lower
basis.

 I notice in this mornings paper an article about the Bankhead Highway mileage markers being placed by Lee Higdon, the official marker.
 I notice that the markers state that it is 4o3 miles to Memphis via. the Bankhead highway. The writer made the trip from Little Rock to Birmin- ham via. the Bankhead highway last week and found that 1t is only 342 miles from Birmingham to Memphis and only 5o7 miles from Birmingham to Little Rock
 Would also like to say that the worst roads I found on the trip ex- cepting detours, were in Walker county, Alabama. Very truly yours,

It is stated that the local creamery is paying out $1,2o0 to $1,6oO per week to farmers, the total for the first year being $43,000.
 Tuscaloosa is on the banks of the Warrior river and receives all the advantages due to that situation. Its building this year has made a new high record and probably ex- ceeded that of any city of the same size in the country.
 A delightful place in which to re- side, Tuscaloosa is likewise pro- gressive, and a good place in which to do business.

Production Increased
 With Fewer Employees

N NEWS item from Detroit says EA that for "the three months ending July 31, the Ford Motor company produced 317,587 passenger cars and trucks, an average of near ly 106,000 per month. This was the biggest three months output in the history of the company"
 The output of 55,000 men formerly employed is made by 45,000 men now employed in the same shops doing the same work.
 There are two ways of looking at this production record. The one in- dicates that men are naturally lazy and if necessity does not urge them they will loaf. The other view is that men will do an honest days work when it is demanded of them in straightforward manner.
 Our national morale weakened when wages were high and the gov- ernment was shoveling out dollars regardless of everything but win ming the war. It has strengthened as the need for it developed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-02

The McCaul company of Philadel- phia, who erected the building for the government, have done their work well. The only criticism heard is regret that the appropriation was not large enough to complete it ac- cording to the original design, which called for another story. As space is already at premium, that will be added in time. In fact, the build ing was finished, for the present, with that idea in view.
