Mr. Randolph spent the day getting
acquainted and proved himself a good
mixer. BY telling a few stories that
had not yet sifted down from Club
land and by standing a few drinks he
soon found himself made free Of all
the technical information he needed
and some more that was so ultra.tech-

invented the delicate mechanism OF

part ownership IN a comfortable room

Of the North river.
While he was still IN funds he

Third largest number Is in the black belt dairying and cattle country in western Alabama and in Marengo Wilcox and adjacent coun- ties
 The loans seem to have followed the greatest strides made fin farm ing in Alabama.

STORES ID BE OPEN
 CELEBRATION WEEK
Merchants Association Gives Reasons for Not Closing
 During Semi Centennial

Birmingham stores will remain open during business hours every day of the semi-centennial celebra- tion week, following the action of the Jefferson county unit of the Retail Merchants association at a meet ing Thursday.
 It was pointed out by members of the association that while jt was the sentiment of all merchants to do everything in their power to make the celebration successful it would really wor ka hardship on the visit ors to Birmingham if the stores were not left open.
 Hundreds of visitors from the neighboring towns will come to Bir- mingham partly to see the attrac- tions of the emi-centenhial and partly on shopping trip. it was said, and these people would be dis appointed if the stores are not kept open. Furthermore there would hardly be enough room on the down town streets for the crowds if the stores are closed. A number of peo- pie will wish to spend part of the time in the stores while awaiting the parade and other attractions, and the merchants also considered that If the stores are closed there would be no public comfort stations for hundreds of women and children.
 After a discussion of these things the merchants association went on record as favoring keeping the stores open during regular business hours.

 Well, being a nice party, 1 took the lady up on Red and Shades mountains and into Shades valley. She then expressed an ardent desire to know about the farms at Pinson. We went out there. She seemed to prefer looking at farms that enabled a really fine afternoon or morning auto ride. the further out the better
 Toward the close of one of our longest trips, the nice lady sighed in comfortable kind of way and Iaconically remarked I declare. I feel so much better since l have had these delightful automobile outings.
 No farm has been purchased and the automobile rides have ceased. And she isn't the only one"

speaking of the loans. Mir. Jemison said:
 q feel a real satisfaction in tho part which my firm has played in bringing this money to the farmers their store debts and the stores pay of Alabama. IL means they will pay the bankers. The country bankers win pay the city bankers. A conn plete debt liquidation will ensue, and everyone Will benefit from it.
 "The farmer will also improve his farm, build fences. paint his home, acquire more acreage where needed, supply himself with modern ma chinery, and play the game of farm- ing from business standpoint with the added means.
 Why do l, city man. feet sat- isfacton in being the instrumental ity of affording the farmers of Ala bama this financial aid? It is be- cause as a city man realize tho citys dependence on the farm. There cannot be great cities without sub stanttal agricultural territory sur rounding them.
