CAR PLANT NOT AFFECTED BY DECREASED SHIPBUILDING

The wisdom of the Tennessee company ill building the pressed steel works at Fair field is more evident as shipbuilding plants be- come idle.
 The Chickasaw car plant at Fairfield began operations just about the time the shpbulding business at Mobile ceased. The car plant uses the same machinery for turning out steel cars that was used for making parts for ships.
 The car plant started June IS, at the height of the dull season, and has not lost day except one or two occasionally when waiting on ma- terial. It has speeded up constantly since July and is turning out 15 steel cars day.
 It is by the adaptation of resources and the coordination of its plants that the Tennesse company has made itself of paramount impor- tance to the Birmingham district. Birming- ham would not have had steel industry oper7 ating at 50 per cent and over this entire year, while those of other sections were at much less capacity, but for the far-sighted manager ia policy of the Tennessee company.

Fat steers! Why talk about them much? Well, there is a reason In the first place it is cheaper and better to raise them than 1t Is the old scrub variety. I have lived to see the passing of the razor back' and hope to live to see the passing of the ''ticky cow"
 The effort to get our people interested in pure breds whether of the beef or dairy type is not to be abated; but an extra pull is being made to get more and more farmers to pay at tention to bringing up the grade of the native cows calves by breeding to registered bulls.
 Any one who saw the exhibit at the Alabama State Fair association must have been struck by the difference in the growth of the pure breds in contrast with &he scrubs; and yet it so hap pened that the grand champion was out of common COW by we'll selected herd bull of the beef class.
 At first was not greatly interested in the fat steer propaganda, being taken up with the campaign for pure breds, but the start made at our fair here and visit to the great show at Nashville last December convinced me that the thing to do in Alabama to put cattle raising on better basis was to encourage the fat steer industry along with the dairying interests.
 At the Alabama State Fair in October worth while prizes were competed for, and the showing made by the state breeders most encour- aging. The state made appropriation of $5,000, but instead of the bill reading annually, for some cause it was limited to the appro- priation: An effort, however, will be made at the next legislature to have it changed to an- nually.
 This is why the following invitation by tele- graph makes such appeal to me. Mash vile, Tenn, Dr. Frank Willis Barnett Age Herald, Birmingham, Ala. Nashville's fifth annual fat steer exposition of the south will be the most spectacular show ever staged in the southland, and it will be incomplete with out you If you expect to maintain your po sition as sponsor for southern live stock it is essential that you be here. Arrange accord ingly, we expect you. William A. Burnett

LIBERTY BONDS OFFSET
 TO INCOME TAX

Large transactions in Liberty bonds not only show the activity and strength of the securities market, but they vindicate the claim made by the government when selling them to the peo- pie that they were a good investment. The pity of 1t is that many persons parted with these securities when they were at low ebb and sacrificed from $5 to $9 on each $100 worth. The perspicacity of those who bought the bonds at the low market is self-evident.
 Liberty bonds are purchased in large blocks by men of means on account of their tax-ex- emption feature. While yielding a moderate rate of interest, the possessor will also gain by not having to pay income tax on the bonds.
 Thoughtful citizens are beginning to frown on tax-exempt securities. The more of them there are, the greater the amount of tax that must be collected from other sources. The tax-exempt securities naturally drift into the hands of persons of means, who have idle money to invest.
 At best tax exemption requires peculiar conditions for it's justification. For that req son it may be easily overdone.

PAUL COOK.

men all over the country is the man who has been able to put at the Union Stock Yards in Nashville the annual fat steer exposition; the nearest competitor in the country to the international which for years has made Chi- cago famous. Last year there were more than 25 carloads of fat steers on exhibition, com ing from many states, but Alabama won the grand championship, the coveted prize going to the Meadow Brook Farms, owned by Wal ter Smith.
 Captain Jack Phillips also received a wire from "Bill Burnett saying. "The show will be incomplete without your sunny smile and good fellowship. Make your arrangements ac- cordngly and bring the sky pilot" (mean- ing mel. We expect to attend. The Age Herald has for years been boosting the cattle game in Alabama and I want to keep in close touch with it and one of the best ways to get at what is befn8 done is to take in the annual show at Nashville. get to meet the breeders, the stockyard head and the packers, and from the three pick up lot of good talking points"

DIPLOMAT SLIDES INTO DINNER

Washington Correspondent New York Tribune.
 White House dinners in these days of con- ference diplomacy are apt to be bit awkward, especially if non English-speakng guests are placed beside mono-linguaI Americans. This occasionally is necessary, too, in order to make the seating arrangements conform to prece- dence. Sometimes, though, the hostess may count on fortunate accidents that. dispel all formalty.
 At one of the most doggy" affairs recently given, assistant secretary of state arrived late. As he surrendered his two-gallon hat he was informed, it is alleged, that the guests had gone into dinner Hastily run- ming over all the appropriate alibis that oc- cured to him, he moved swiftly across the threshold of the high-ceilinged dining hall. A small rug slipped and in an instant the young statesman was passing in review on the small of his back, before the great of the world
 As he slid past M. Briand, he threw out an arm and managed to hook it about one of the legs of Secretary Hughes chair It was an ef- fectual brake. There was death-like silence. Then the unfortunate spoke to his chief as to an umpire.
 "Out or safe?" he asked.
 The dinner was success.

PLIGHT OF A TOWN WITHOUT
A NEWSPAPER

There is no town in America so poor that it cannot boast of it's Main Street." although it may masquerade under another name. And there are few communities without at least weekly newspaper to announce births, deaths and marriages and keep it's readers informed of neighborhood happenings, with an occasional reference to the outside world in the form of an editorial Header" or a bit of "plate matter" telling of the newest style of bathing suits worn at Deauville
 Such fortunate communities should be able to sympathize with Townley, Ala, which has no newspaper to exploit the wares of local mer- chants or "do the honors" when some '1ovely and accomplished" bride steps tothe altar with the "man of her choice.''
 The Age-Herald has received from someone in Townley one-page "extran on the top of which is written, ''You may consider this form of community advertising odd. But for town which does not own its newspaper this is some what of a step toward the next thing to it." The "Townley Extra" was published by the Townley Merchants and Professional associa. tion. In the center of the page is an editorial urging the citizens to patronize home merchants and get together for the upbuilding of their town. On either side are advertisements of the local bank and number of merchants who offer choice bargains to the Christmas trade
 A town without newspaper is not exactly as helpless a ship without rudder, but it labors under a serious handicap. It lacks the means of self-expression. Judging from-the enterprise shown by the Townley business and professional men, there is an opening in that community for brisk young publisher who is able to fill an aching void by establishing newspaper to chronicle the activities of Town leyites and incidentally profit by the desire of Townley

THE WANDERER

THE WANDERER By Eugene Field. Upon a mountain height, far from the sea- I found shell; And to my listening ear this lonely thing Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing, Ever song of ocean seemed to tell How came this shell upop the mountain height? An, who can say Whether there dropped by some too careless
 hand, Whether there cast when oceans swept the
 land
 Ere the Eternal had ordained the day? Strange was it not7 Far from it's native deep, One song it sang: Sang of the awful mysteries of the tide, Sang of the storied sea, profound and wide Ever with echoes of old ocean rang. And as the shell upon the mountain height Sang of the sea, So do I ever, leagues and leagues away, So do I ever, wandering where I may, Sing, o my home, sing, my home of thee!

Go-NExT-NEIGHBoR ACCOUNTING
 From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Humorous, but Illuminating and instructive, was the quite recent experience of trained journalist at Washington who sought to ascer- tain the total amount paid by the federal gov- ernment for salaries. Successive failures taught him that the'task was not the simple one he had conceived F to be.
 Relying upon known organization of gov- ernmental operations, he went first to the chief clerk of the treasury department and then began a weary round which led him through the bookkeeping division, the civil service commission, the interior department'c statistical bureau, the director of the budgets office, the appropriation committee of the House of Representatives, and, at the last, the bureau of efficiency.
 Nowhere did he find a complete total of the general pay roll. Finally, driven to the unusual, he applied at the office of a private organization, the federation of federal em- ployes, and, to his utter astonishment, got pre- cisely the thing he sought-a verified addition showing the amount to be approximately $100,000,000 year and the number of enl- ployes to be in the neighborhood of 80,000, everybody from the President to the humblest employe being included.
 Thus IS furnished another reason TOT the existence of the budget system and the neces- sity for watching it warily lest the professional politicians, skilled in the art, render it nuga- tory through non-observance or sly legislation designed to cripple it's effectiveness.
 It is interesting to speculate upon what would happen if the President of large corporation like the Pennsylvania railroad or the American Telephone and Telegraph company should hap pen to ask the responsible fiscal official the amount of the annual pay roll and the number of employees, and be told in reply that the infor- nation was not available anywhere within the organization. The analogy presented is en- tirely fair.

MAINTENANCE IS SOUND
 HIGHWAY SLOGAN

Official announcement has been made by the city engineering department that all paved streets in Greater Birmingham are to be re- paired and the work is to be systematically con- ducted until all in good condition.
 Maintenance is important as construc- tion," says the engineering department. South Twentieth street was almost impossible for many months. South Twenty-first street, after being in deplorable condition for several years, was improved by~a moderate outlay for re- psirs.
 The streets of Birmingham will be kept in good condition if they are watched for the first breaks; if small patches are made before larg- CT ones are needed. This requires activity on the part of the engineering and street forces in observing the condition of the streets.
 The slogan of the engineering department is a good one. Acting up to. it will prove an economy and a source of satisfaction to the people.

From the New Orleans Item.

HE bLANO OnlNEE, ALLOY TIE JAf From the Atlanta Georgian.
 The wise men of the United States are measuring their wits against those of China and especially Japan.
 What will come out of the discussion? Not much from Asia, not many concessions from that quarter, you may be sure.
 To listen politely, inhale the breath, bow and smile is Asiatic, to hurry and rush is American. Hurry won't work when we deal with our gentle, patient, long-resisting friends from across the wide Pacific.
 MT. William L. Richard publishes little pamphlet describing an ancient Tibetan manu- script. And on the cover he prints very short poem, here reproduced for the edifica- tion of Washington statesmen.
 Uncle Sam and his representatives, who are about>to negotiate with the children that come from the setting sun, might keep these eight lines in mind:
 It doesn't pay, on a summer day
 To hustle the bland Chinee, For the white man frets and fumes and sweats,
 While the yellow man sips his tea: At the end of the day there's tombstone gray
 Which worries John Chinaman least; For the Chink is abed, and chump lies dead.
