 Women's Associations 1M ARELY IS months old, the Na- ID tional Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs is represented in AT states and the dis trict of Columbia. It has affiliated with it more than 300 clubs of busi- ness and professional women, many of which have membership rang ing from 500 to 1,6O0 members. One of the largest of the clubs is that organized in Birmingham. This has a membership of almost 1,200. It has it's official organ, lunch room for the members, a summer camp, a help fund and an official head quarters. Its membership embraces mary of the most prominent business and professional women of Birming- ham, some of whom have attained a marked success in their avocations. 1 The local club is going to give a banquet at the Tutwiler hotel in the near future to two officials of the national association, the dinner to be followed by mass meeting to which the public is invited. It is the desire 1 of the local organization that the public become better acquainted with the aims and objects of their asso- l citation.

The coming event will be quite worth while and the busi- ness and professional women may rest assured of Birmingham's appre- citation.

 Very little complaint is heard from thu Lhog raiser. because he markets cooper atively and scientifically and gets the tor 1 price. The cotton pfoducer will pecom, less of pessimist when he does tn, same thing.
 Not the least of the benefits derived from the return of cold weather was thu discouragement 1t gave the peach trees which wore swelling with sap and abou Ito bloom and spoil things. * * Merchants are paying their licens itaxes early because they feel good.
