he is helping parasites and ne'er- do-wells and pauperizing a part of Birmingham's population. This kind of skepticism has been evident too long in Birmingham. What strong CT verification could be asked for than the disclosures made by dis interested investigators who have been sickened by the squalor and want they have found in many parts of the Birmingham district? The claims on our charity and sympathy have been fully verified. He who stays a helping hand now is shirk- ing his duty to humanity to distant people in some other land but to his neighbors, the unem- ployed of Birmingham.
 The organization to feed and clothe these people until conditions improve and they can go to work has already been perfected. Tie citizens of Birmingham must do the rest. They must answer this ap- peal in the proper spirit, glad that they are in position to give help where it is sorely needed.

No Cause to Worry

Let Birmingham not worry over the present depressed state of af- fairs said J. B. Antrim, Cincinnati shoe man and former citizen of this city. "I find retail business dull even here, but that is the universal state. However, l see more building going on in Birmingham than in most places, and l note that you opened up new car plant at the apex of the dull season.
 Birmingham need never worry, because her resources are such that she will thrive if anyone does. I expect to do my usual good business with Birmingham on my fall trip"

New Hairdressing Styles.

thought he. There will be no chance
to catch one unless they drift in
close to shore. Even then 1t will
take some one S who 3. can ian. spring I swift
the one to catch one Of those Geese.
I'll leave it for him to do. I'll pre-
tend to 80 off and then he'll come
down from that tree and watch those
Geese. If he catches one III have q
good dinner. Yes. sir. I'll have a
Yowler."
Buster chuck1ed to himself. sniffed
once or twice, then dropped down to
all four and shuffied away through
the woods. He didn't take any pains
not to make a noise. Honker the
light sleeper He awoke and listened
for few minutes. He knew by the
sound that whoever had been there
was going away. He looked his flock
over and saw that all were there.
Then he went to sleep again, satis-
them out there in the water.
Yowler the Bob Cat heard Buster
leave. He listened sharply as the
sound Of Busters shutting feet grew
fainter and fainter and finally ceased.
Then Yowler came down from the
tree ne h6d CLIMBED at BUSTERS ap-
proach. He snarled under his breath
as he glanced in the direction in which
Buster had disappeared. Then he
turned his attention to those Geese.
and In a few minutes had forgotten
Buster Bear and every thing else. You
see. it seemed to him that the nearest
Goose was drifting in a little. Yow-
Ter crouched fiat and prepared for
long, patient wait.
Meanwhile Buster Bear had gone Off
about other business. 1T will be a
long time before any Of those Geese
come in near enough to be caught"
he muttered. ''Yss, sir, it will be
long time. I'll have plenty Of time
to get a lunch Of acorns"
So Buster hunted up some acorns
and had a very good lunch. After
this he silently stole back toward the
pond Of Paddy the Beaver. You know.
he can move very quietly indeed when
he wants to. Some little distance
back from the pond Buster stopped.
He didn't want Yow1er to suspect he
was about. He knew that II Yowler
should catch one Of those Geese he
could not carry such q great, heavy
bird far or fast, and there would be
no trouble in catching up with Yowler
and taking that Goose from him.
A crafty old fellow is Buster Bear.
