CROP REPORT

Average to better than average crops for the country at large is forecast by the American Steel And Wire company. Corn will probably be the best on record. The crop re- port for the past week says:
 Improvement of forage crops Is continuing in practically all of the states where dry conditions are pre- valent. Locally, in the small grain producing states, fall blowing is be- ing slightly delayed.
 Corn In the great corn belt is ma turing rapidly. due to favorable dry temperatures. The corn crop will be es good or better than any crop over made. and 1t Is already 50 near ma turity that little danger need be eA pected from light early frost
 Sections of California, Oregon and Washington report an exceptionAlIy heavy apple crop. Sweet potatoes in the southern states are kood to extra good. and the outlook is for a large crop. Potatoes. on the other hand are reported as poor to fair only with good crops in the far western states.
 Cotton, particularly in Texas and in the southeastern cotton producing states, is still more deteriorated. due to the hot weather In Texas and ex- cessive moisture and boil weevils in the other states.
 ''The country as whole is in an average. to better than average con dition as regards crops"

RATE REDUCTIONS { 30 ID 40 CENTS
 PER TON OF IRON
Coal and Coke Rates Are Not Changed--Furnace 0p- orators Figure Out
 Exact Showing

Reduced rates on ore and limestone to furnaces declared by the public service commission sound better on paper than in practical effect, accord ing to furnace operators. The reduc- tion, upon analysis of the details, figures out from 30 to S2 cents a ton saving on ton of pig iron for fur naces most advantsg geously situated and less on others. This Is the show ing, worked out by operating conn paRies.
 In the 25-mile zone the rate on ore IS reduced from 50 to S7 cents a ton. The saving Is 13 cents ton. Al. lowing three tons of ore per ton of iron the saving would be 39 cents
 The rate on stone is reduced in this zone from 70 to 37 cents a ton On half ton of stone per ton Of iron rfle saving would be one and a half cents.
 Tho total saving in this instance would be 401s cents per ton of iron.
 In the 50-mile zone the rate on ore is reduced from 50 to 47 cents. The reduction figures the same in cents. being IS cents but the percentage of reduction is not as great. The rate on stone is reduced from 50 to 47 cents, the reduction bearing the same relation to the former rate as in the case of ore
 On distance of mora than S4 miles, from Spencer to Alabama City, the rate on stone is increased from 60 to 6S cents. The rate on ore from shannon to Alabama City is re- duced from so to II cents, which is saving of only cents ton, 27 cents for three tons instead of Ss cents in the first zone.
 There were no reductions in the rates on coal and coke. They remain the same.
 Companies like the Woodward and Tennessee, which haul most of their law materials over their own lines received no special benefit from the reduced rates on ore and limestone.
 The carriers have not yet indicated whether the" will accept the order of the state public service commis- sion. The latter in isuing the order Tor the reduced rates on ore and stone, expressed it's belief that the carriers would comply

TUTW|LER HOTEL SUBSCR|BES $1,OOO CENTENNIAL FUND.
Hotel Management Makes Quick Response to Request for Contribution-Half-
 acre Makes Donation

Birmingham war efforts, which won the admiration of the country and the envy of many cities of her class, centered in and around the Tutwiler hotel to such an extent that more than one membr of tn all lied armies and of the teams which put over the drives has declared in answer to the oft repeated ques- tion, "Who won the war;" that it was "The Tutwiler hotel"
 At any rate during the two fever ish years of war activity. Birming- ham made her record largely at meetings held in that hotel and the free use of the ballroom, lobby, of fices, private meeting rooms and oth- CT concessions to the war workers greatly facilitated the efforts of the local committee and made tho Tut wiler the real community center.
 It was therefore with considerable confidence that Chairman Erskine Ramsay of the finance committee of the semicentennial committee wrote a letter to the Tutwiler asking that subscription of $i,o00 be made to the guarantee expense fund. Harry Halfacre. manager of the Tutwiler had already responded to the com mittee's request that he contribute urff ia ok. DIy I he had also given much time to com mittee work.
 But as soon as the matter was re- ferred to Frederick W. Rockwell, president of the Tutwiler Hotel Op- erating company, he wired Manager Halfacre to subscribe the check for S1,000. Thus, declare members of the committee. the Tutwiler sustained it's record for civic pride and co-opera- tion established during the war.
 The Tutwiler, admitted 10 be the finest hotel in the south, and one If the finest in the United States, WIG opened in. 1914. It was constructed by group of local men headed by Robert Jemison, Jr.. and to Major E. M. Tutwler is due much of tho credit for financing the institutio, i, which represents a cost of S2,500, 900.
 Harry Halfacre. the present man ager, succeeded Fred Shireman in March, 1920, when the latter resigned to become manager of large hotel in Indianapolis MT Halfacre has held important posts with the United Hotels company for a number of years and has met with much sua- cess since he took over the Tutwiler The United Hotels company, which operates the hotel, Is the largest operating company of hotels in the world, now conducting 21 of the lead ing hotels of the country.

Melton was himself hurt on the cl- bow and wrist, and claimed he did not know the name of the other man. Before bringing the man to town the officers made search around the house to try to find the cause of the row, and found several empty jugs, cans and keg.
 A path from the house attracted their attention and, following it, they came upon a complete disttlling out fit about 500 yards from the nolse. The officers stated last night that. judging from the indications the still had been operated for many years. There was & 100 gallon boiler end about f.250 gallons of mash at hand. and there was plenty of wood lying around with which to start a fire un- der the boiler.
 The still was located at spting, and ditches had been constructed to bring water to the boiler, and special drains to carry off the refuse. X bench upon which the operator .euld rest was placed near it.

 Melton is charged with attempt to murder and Illicit distilling, while Clarke is charged with assault with intent to murder
