Birmingham Must Support
 Its Symphony Orchestra

ktS 5y"pnouy OHSSoShd 6RHE initial appearance of the Bir- l mingham Symphony orchestra of 50 musicians, under the auspices of the Birmingham Orchestral society, will mark new step forward in this city's musical progress.
 The music lovers of Birmingham have long desired local symphony orchestra that would compare favor ably with similar organizations in other cities. After years of planning and striving, their dream is about to be realized. The orchestra which will appear at the Jefferson theatre, with a selected festival chorus, April 29 and 30, deserves the support of every person in Birmingham who be- lieves in the finer things of life and is not averse to giving such move ments financial assistance.
 Ferdinand Dunkley, the conductor of the orchestra, and the men and women who have made this organiza- tion possible, are blazing the way to greater things. It is proposed to make Birmingham the musical center of the south, and there is no reason why this hope should not be real ized. The foundation has been laid. All that is needed is the whole-hearted cooperation of Birmingham people. The benefits to be derived from such a movement are inestimable. There is no well-rounded life without good music. However great Birmingham may become industrially, there will be something lacking unless there is at the same time development of the ennobling arts, among which music takes first rank.
 With the aid of the Orchestral so- ciety, the Music Study club, the Com munity Sing the All-Star concerts, schools, civic associations and the gen. eral public, Birmingham can build up a symphony orchestra that will have national reputation.
 Plenty of Labor Does
 Not Solve Farm Problem
 M URING the war labor was scarce, O yet the farms of the country produced record crops. Those re- maining at home more than compen- sated for those at war by their extra labor, by their more earnest and un- remitting attention to the affairs of the farm.
 In 1921 labor is plentiful and ob- tainable at reduced rates, an appar- ently ideal condition for increased production. But the indications point to less acreage and smaller yield this year. There is certainly going to be less cotton in the south and early reports state there is to be smaller tobacco production.
 Reports from ail the southern states to the department of agriculture tell Of an ample supply of labor available at reduced wages. Virginia reports, Supply ample with demand less than usual" Georgia says, Supply abundant, but no money with which D hire it." Alabama reports, Sup ply more plentiful and less expen- sive."
 Conditions are never ideal long at time and seldom ideal at all. The farmer faces the same fluctuations oi supply and demand as the business man in the city. Labor was high ant hard to get and hold in cities during the war. Manufactured product. beought high prices. but they cost

 The frank ayowal of woman suf- frage leaders that marriage still is tho main object of woman's life confirms would throw off all social restraints with political equality, trample on con- yention and defy deeerum, disturbed the poise of those who oscillate with every breeze of nonsense. The official assurance comforts the race and re- iRforces nature.
 Nothing can halt progress and pros- perity, nor dull the edge of hus- bandry," so long as women seek the wedding veil. Vainly business will growl that stenographers marry when office broke. We will greet cailously the school boards plairt that teachers marry. and that school terms are bu, intervals between girlhood and the altar.

Vat Dynamiting Can Be
 Stopped by Local Effort

7f7HERE seem to be some law
 U less men below Bessemer who need punishment. One of their favor ite pastimes is blowing up dipping vats. Ten have been recently de- stroyed. The money loss is $2,600. That, however, is of least importance. The disgrace of it is that these van dals are not bounded out of the com munities in which they live.
 Blowing up the dipping vats places another burden on the tax payer and the owners of cattle nearest the de- stroyed vats must drive their cattle to those farther off.
 It is idle to preach about vat de- struction. It will cease in commu- nifty when that community says it shall cease; when there are enough stalwart men in that community to put . stop to it by detection and prosecution of those who are guilty. They flourish only because men who are progressive and wish tick-free cattle have not the courage to assert themselves.
 It is up to the people below Besse- mer to decide whether they shall stick in the mud or advarce with the rest of Alabama and the progressive sec- tions of their own county.
