An Appreciation

We believe we voice the sentiment of
all Seattle in acknowledging a debt of
gratitude to the earnest, capable women
of the Seattle Federation of Women's
Clubs and the Educational Department
of the Chamber Of Commerce of Wash
ington, who gave to the public such an eff
fective presentation of Pacific Northwest
products in the Arena. Tens of thou
sands of visitors testify to the splendid
efforts of the managers of the exhibit
and of the exhibitors.
It affords us great pleasure to express
our special appreciation to the ladies who
assisted at our booth, to the management
and to the multitudes who called and
complimented us upon the quality of
Gold Shield Coffee and Happy Home
canned goods which they were served.
We hope that all visitors to the exposi-
ton realize that the women who took part
in this exhibit did so voluntarily and
without receiving any compensation for
their services

DR.. EDMONDS TALKS
TO CONGREGATION
Pastor of Independent Pres
byterian Church to Leave
for Scotland

Expressing the hope that he may serve
his congregation better after his return
from Scotland, where he will attend the
International Rotary convention, DR..
Henry M. Edmonds held his last Sunday
morning service for the next three
months yesterday morning
He did not preach a sermon yesterday
morning, talking merely about "Mizpah"
ana it's Significance, a request that his
congregation be watched over until his
return. The origin. with the history of
Jacob and Laban, was explained by DR..
Edmonds.
The work of last year was reviewed
the attainments being hailed as the fruits
of a year of great progress. lie asserted
that to him last year seemed. a year
Of prayer, with more attention paid to
devotional exercises than ever before. He
told of raising $4,000 during the year, a
great achievement, inasmuch as the larg-
est contribution was $4,000.
He declared that he would not consider
mis- congregation .sas a burden dropped
while he was gone, but as companions in
spirit on the journey.
Suggestion was made that fund for
chimes be raised through provisions in
wills, one contribution to such fund for
the new church having already been pro-
vided for in the will of one of the church
members.
Dr. Edmonds announced that Dr. Rob-
inson Of Chicago would fill the pulpit
during a part of June. DIR. Robinson is
a noted explorer and traveller. DR.. Pit
ger Of Chattanooga, will serve during
July and perhaps August.

ENSLEy MEETING TO
DISCUSS J|TNEYS
EnsIey Civic Club Aroused
Over Suggested Raise of
Street Car Fares

w. H. Sadler and Frank e. Spain are
among those who will discuss the sit
uation affecting the residents and
property owners of Ensley and vicin-
ity because of the unrestricted opera
ton of the jitneys at the meeting to
be held this morning at 10 o'clock at
the Ensley inferior courtroom.
The meeting was arranged by the
Ensley Civic club at the request of a
number of business men and property
owners of EnsIey, and invitations have
been extended to the residents of Fair
field, Pratt City, Wylam and other
places dependent upon streat cars for
their transportation to attend and take
part in the gathering.
Inasmuch as the jitneys do not oper-
ate to any of these places, 1t is de-
clared that they are not concerned with
the traffic regulations, routing and
safety features of the proposed jitney
ordinance, but they want to see that
steps are taken which will prevent a
situation which might cause a raise in
car fare or a reduction in service.
1t is announced that the people or
Ensley Pratt City, Wylam, Fairfield
and vicinities are considerably dis
turbed over the prospect of being taxed
either in service or a raise of car fare
to provide the street car company with
sufficient revenue to maintain cars on
the close-in sections of the city, where
so many people do>not make any use
of them, except in bad waether or at
hours when the jitneys do not run.

DIR. MACSPORRAN SPEAKS
ON UNEMPLOYMENT"

Preaching on The Unemployed and
the Unemployable at the First Presby-
terrain church Sunday morning, DIR. J. A.
MacSporran spoke of the current un-
employment problem and stated that 1t
was very directly due in one sense to
another kind of unemployment-the I'M
employment of church people in the
business of their Lord.
Taking his text from Matthew xx:6-7,
"Why stand we here all the day idle,
DR.. MacSporran pointed out that the
employment of the present is no new
difficulty, but very old one, and said
that no greater and more serious prob
lem menaces the country than the cry
Of the man who wants work and can
not find It,
I'VE are no true followers of Jesus of
Nazareth" declared DR.. MacSporran, 'if
we fail to take up the challenge that is
thrown at us by this condition. There
is no greater form of suffering, nc
more soul crushing experience than to
walk the streets day after day In the
fruitless search for the work by which
we and our families may live.
Economists tell us six days in the
week." he continued. that this Is an
economic problem. And it is. But or
the seventh day 1t Is well that we look
at this thing from the Lords point OF
view. For economic problems are also
spiritual problems, and as such can
not be solved as mere cold matters OF
business.
The Golden Rule is being success
fully tested today by big business. La
Dor is no longer being looked upon as a
mere commodity to be bought and sold
Nor Is the conception of capital and
labor as armed and hostile camps hold
ing up before the light of modern and
we'll informed thought 1t is rather, a
division of responsibilities between
them.
Capital must give to the other part
ner fair chance. And labor must not
presume to ask or take more than what
Is fair and honest. Both must be square
and right. Christ held no soft pity for
idlers and slackers. But he held in

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION"
SERMON BY DR.. HENDRIX

At the Highlands Methodist church. the
pastor, Rev. w. r. Hendrix, preached to
a large and attentive audience Sunday
morning on The Value of Christian Edu-
cation to the State" using as text,
Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone"
He said in part:
The teachings and example of Jesus
Christ offer no support to that theory
of religion which seeks to promote spi-
ritual growth at the expense of our
economic needs. The salvation which he
offered mankind is a whole salvation for
the wholespa
Where ever the christian religion has
obtained a prevailing influence among
men, it has immensely enhanced the
production of earthly goods, and raised
the standard Of living among the poorer
people. This text therefore can not mean
that Jesus was Indifferent to, or opposed
to that desire for material prosperity,
which is the real motive power Of a pro-
gressive civilization.
Better living conditions for the poor,
and greater security for invested capital.
are alike the material results OF the
growth of the christian religion, where
ever it has remained faithful to its divine
Master and Founder.
while men can not live by bread alone,
bread is one of the words OF God Dy
which men do live, and to ignore this
fact in a religious programme is to pre-
sent a dismembered part of christianity
to a fragmentary humanity.
The man who aims and labors only
for material good, lives a 'part-llfe' and
therefore an unsuccessful one. Nor Will
it avail us to offer only spiritual pro-
gramme as a substitute for economic
ambition. Human needs as Jesus saw II
is both economic and spiritual. And the
christian religion proposes and accom-
plishes with those who give themselves
Fundamentally and whoemindedy to
God, happy and successful synthesis
of these two phases of human life, which
too many unwisely have endeavored to
put asunder
1.-THE emphasis which this age is plac-
ing upon education has largely been
created from experience in the Industrial
and commercial enterprises of recent
years. Through economic studies and ex-
periences our leaders have come to see
that undeveloped man Is the greatest
burden which a progressive civilization
has to bear in its efforts to move on
ward and upward.
Raise the average intelligence and
train the inexperienced into greater skill,
and you must enhance the producing
powers of the nation, thereby enriching
society at large. Christian education has
no fight to make on vocational training
and education Indeed our religious and
economic problems are inextricaoly
united"

LARGER QUARTERS
FOR MEMS CLASS
Remarkable Growth of Cosmo-
politan Class of Baptist
Church Is Noted

The trustees and the Sunday school
superintendent of the First Baptist
church set apart this week the church
auditorium as the class room of the cos
mopolitan mems class, of which G. Lewis
Bales, assistant city attorney, is the
teacher. This was made necessary by the
rapid growth of the class to a member
ship of 215 men, and an attendance which
two weeks ago reached more than a
thousand men.
Judge l.. j. Haley told the trustees
that to give the church auditorium to
the cosmopolitans will make it necessary
to find quarters for half dozen organ
lied classes which meet in the several
pews of the church. but added, "if the
cosmopolitans insist upon over-running
the whole premises, then nothing should
stand in their way.
II am disposed, to regard this great
class" Judge Haley said las an iucal-
culable asset to the First Baptist church,
and to the city of Birmingham. Last Sun
day we studied the international lesson
on cooperation: Here is our opportunity
to apply our doctrine
Mr. Bales said yesterday, 1.-The cos
mopolitan class began with three men,
B. o. Cox Harry Todd and myself We
organized on the third Sunday of Novem-
Der, 1919. Our first class room was
stairway landing leading to the church
balcony. From that limited space of
about five by eight feet to the main
auditorium with seating capacity of
thousand men, is. we think. rather
proud record.

CONTRACTS LET FOR
RIVER EQUIPMENT
AND COAL TERMINAL
Completion of Scheduled War
rior River Improvement Is In
Sight-Status of Work
Given In Detail
BY r. f. LoHNsToN

Completion of the scheduled Warrior
river equipment and terminal placement
has begun to appear in sight.
Coal terminals at Cordova are two
thirds completed, tentative contract has
been let for the additional steel derrick
at Port Of Birmingham, contract has been
let for the steel derrick at Demopolis,
contract has been let for the coal ter
minals at Mobile, the self-propller Gulf
port, is expected on the river by middle
of June and the self-propeller Montgonss
cry by October
In detail the status is this: The Cor
dova coal terminals, two-thirds com
pleted, will be ready for early fall. They
have a bin capacity of 1900 tons and
loading capacity of 500 tons an hour.
They will enable the handling of several
times the amount of coal now handled
there in the same time and with great
er economy
DOUBLE THE LOADING
The contract for the second derrick at
Port of Birmingham has been let to the
American Hoist and Derrick company,
conditioned on some changes in plans and
specifications. This additional derrick will
more than duble the loading and unload
ing capacity at Port of Birmin CHAM.
Contract for the steel derrick at De-
mopols has been let to the Clyde Iron
works Duluth. With the erection of this
derrick, Demopolis will become another
real port on the Warrior, which will then
have five, namely, Cordova, Birming-
ham, Tuscaloosa, Demopolis and Mobile.
Contracts for clam sheet buckets for
Cordova and Port of Birmingham have
been let to McMiler Interstate company
of Cleveland These buckets will enable
the rapid and economic handling OF ore
at these ports. Large quantities OF
manganese ore for the Tennessee COM
pany come regularly from Brazil and up
the river.
SITE OF TERMINALS
Bids for the 40000-ton coal terminal at
Mobile have been received and additional
bids asked on bulkhead work found TO
be necessary at the Blakesley Island site
of the terminals. These terminals are
regarded as the keynote to a larger
export and bunker business for Alabama
coal at Mobile.
The Mississippi end of the Mississippi
Warrior system has suffered even more
than the Warrior from delay in recep-
ton of it's new equipment. Only one oil
the six power boats ordered built for the
Mississippi is in service. One other is
on the way down the river now. The
others are to come later.
In spite of the uncompleted equipment
and terminal schedule the MISSISSIPPI
Warrior barge lines cleared Soo,oOO IN
April and. business up river having at
tanned new high records, greater profits
appear to be in sight

as IS and so per cent, salaries have
also declined. This means that the re-
tail coal dealer will be compelled to go
to his people and tell them it is nee
essary for them to buy from him as
prices that are fully as high as they
ever were at this season of the year.
Many of them have no work and not
enough means to buy; many others
work probably half time and make
enough to carry them through from

owners at great expense. A number OF
men are out of work altogether, a
number of mines are entirely shut
down, this is dead expense The
railroads are crying for business, their
soliciting agents, whom we have nor
seen in years, are flocking in like the
ancient locust and covering the land.
the employees of these railroads are be-
ms 4diu OAl ny lnOuSdnQS on account of
lack of work, and yet both Of these
lines of supply and distribution in the

the price demanded by their men. are
asking for the very peak of prices
If these two factors should later on
come to realize that it is necessary
for them to get their product and their
labor on basis that would make If
possible for the rest of the country TO
do business, and should do this, the
retail coal dealer and those consumers
whom he had persuaded to buy early
would have to shoulder a heavy loss
We are told that agreements exist
between the coal operator and the
coal miner and the government which
Will not expire until next year.
We are also told that this kind of
an agreement is in force covering the
railroad situation. No one, fair minded
advocates the breaking of contracts.
but If a body of men have an agree
ment that is not only holding down
the prosperity of the whole country,
but their own, we can see no good
reason for their not getting together
and making such adjustments as will
meet prevailing conditions. BY mutual
consent the breaking of an agreement
violates no ones rights

criminate and not condemn all unjustly.

learned it is entitled to a new chance,

sponsibility of Gods people in these
matters, DR.. MacSporran~ stated that
much of the trouble mentioned was due
to the failure of the church workers. to
be employable themselves in Christs

YIELD OF COTTON
Should Be HALF
BALE TO THE ACRE
U. S. Agents Declare Safety
First Rule Would Reduce
Acreage Beyond Dreams
of ReductioniStS

Cotton growers of the south will
save money under existing conditions,
if they plant no cotton on land which
will not yield at least half bale to
the acre, according to j. 0. Taylor,
special agent of the United States
department of agriculture station,
who was stopping at the Tutwiler.
The cost of producing the 1920 cotton
crop was almost enough to bankrupt
the Southern farmer even If there had
not been radical slump in the mar
ket price, he declared The south can
never become prosperous raising cotton
at the rate of third of bale to the
acre or less, and other crops in like
proportion.
The obvious usfness-IiISe thing
for the cotton grower to do IN to
plant no land to that crop unless 1t
viii yield at leaSt half bale to the
acre, according to MIR. Taylor. Then
he will have time to take proper
care of what de does plant and Will
also have TIME TO produce the other
crops he should produce.
SAFETY FIRST RULE
II the farmer would adopt this safety
first rule, by that simple act alone he
would eliminate $4,000 900 or 10000 600
acres of land from the usual cotton
crop and we would have acreage reduc-
ton beyond the most vivid dreams OF
the most ardent reductionist. What is
4 more to the point, Mr.. Taylor said, Is
that it would be a kind of reduction
which would harm nobody and help
everybody
The cost of producing crop on land
making a bale to the acre this year
will be cents per pound for the lint
according to Mr.. Taylor. This is as
Stunning that 1t Will cost s25 per acre to
cultivate cotton crop this year. SIS
per bale for picking and ginning and
$50 per ton for seed.
On a crop making one-half bale the
cost would be IL cents per pound, one
third bale per acre, 16 cents per pound
and ne-fourth bale, 21 cents per pound
Mr.. Taylor's figures show. If the cot
ton should be sold for IL cents pei
pound the net profit on the bale to the
acre yield would be $50 per acre.
On the half bale to the acre yield, the
net profit would be $40 per acre The
crop making only one-third of a bale
per acre would show net loss of s665
per acre, one-fourth of a bale per acre
loss of $ll.3b per acre, and on this
basis the farmer who makes only one
fifth of bale per acre would suffer an
actual net loss of $14 per acre.
These figures are significant for the
cotton grower and apply with equal
force to all other crops, according to
Mr.. Taylor.
THE weakest spot in our farming in
dustry Is the low yields per acre that
we obtain" said Mr.. Taylor. 1T is cost
ing the farmer too much to raise his
crops. Low yields constitute the prin-
cipal factor in the high cost of produc-
ton"

Market Quotations

10 the Editor of The Age-Herald.
am enclosing clipping of the local
markets for May 20. 1921 This market
quotation goes out all over the state and
farmers reading this believes it to repre-
sent the prices paid for produce on Nor
rs avenue.
OnsMay 10 I had a two-coop shipment
OF Rhode Island Red chickens and I
worked Morris avenue thoroughly trying
to get this friend the best price for
these chickens possible. l was successful
in persuading them to pay us 45c a pound
for these nice Rhode Island Red chick
ems, which I believe was &c to 100 above
the average market price on said chick
ems on Morris avenue. In fact, I was in
Buehler's market when a representative
was 'phoning to some man wanting to
sell chickens, and he told him that $50
was the best that Morris avenue was
paying for friers that day.
What want to impress is the fact that
the farmer shipping chickens to Morris
avenue from Marion county or some
other county in Alabama, expects to get
prices quoted in our city papers. On ar
rival in Birmingham he gets from 1-3 to
1-2 less monthly and fels quite angry
about the results.
Is there some way we can quote prices
really paid to producers as we quote
