One of the great incentives of the week for the drive Is the fact that S5 of each initiation fee and s2 of each reinstatement fee will go to the home improvement fund for the Alabama Odd Fellows home, which is located at Cullman. This money will be used In refurnishing and re- pairing the home and in bettering the conditions of the institution.
 In connection with the drive for membership Grand Master Jacobs has issued the following letter.
 During the past week one grand master has visited three conventions, and the interest shown by the repre- sentatives present and the spirit of cooperation as promised by all mem bers representing these districts have every indication of this being the greatest year in Odd Fellowship in the state.
 AS an example of what the mem bership purposes to do is shown by the following answer given the noble grand of Tredega lodge, No. 52s. When the question was asked how many members would do their utmost to bring in one application by De- cember S1. 30 members stood up.
 At Phenix City the noble grand said he was determined to have 30 more applications this term. The grand master visited that lodge on September and found a class of seven receiving the initiatory de- gree, and one night before Star lodge. No. 2SS, initiated a large class
 These are only a few instances. as the fever has spread to all sec tions of the state, and the interest and enthusiasm will continue to spread until every lodge will be working as it never worked before.
 The report of the grand secretary of the sovereign grand lodge has just peen. distributed to the various jurisdictions, and in looking it over we find it to be the grandest report ever made by grand secretary.
 3OO,O0O Increase
 Tn fact, this report shows an in- crease of nearly soo,ooo members in 1920.
 Every jurisdiction in the world lodges except one Jurisdiction. and that Jurisdiction lost only one mem Der. Too bad the little figure one should mar perfect record.
 ''In the encampment branch of the Odd Fellows three Jurisdictions showed a loss and the Rebekahs a loss of four Jurisdictions"
 At their first meeting in October the past Erands of the various lodges in Alabama will assemble and cast their votes for those they wish to guide the destinies of the Indepen- dent Order of Odd Fellows in Ala bama from August 1, 1922. to Au- gust 1, 1928.

There was a duplicate in a Nineteenth street store for s16.00; not the same make truly-but perhaps made by the same manufacturer and off the same bolt of satin with a different name just as shapely and with the same style--two dollars less.
 There was a very attractive pair of black satin evening boots em- broidered in jet beads-$1S.00; a pair exactly like them in a First avenue window where you can see them to- morrow for s13,50 A pair of brown, two strap buckle moccasin oxfords for S12.50. In a second avenue store they were Sl0.00 Two straps mauve suede were there, sS.5o. They were here in department store at s7.00. These are an example of the differ ence in price with the odds in favor of the home merchant every single time.
 One felt almost thankful if there were no children in the family to shoe when asking the price of the out-of-town man. Not one pair of ohildren's shoes or slippers did the shopper see for children priced for less than $500, s7.00, $500, and up to SIP. When she asked a Second avenue girl who has charge of the children's department she said: "Oh. we have lovely line and they range from $25o to $500 for children of different ages"
 The hose? The new wool hose so "voguish'' for the coming season. and dropstitch-outo of town man $3.50; the local merchants $500 Those that were $2.00, they are s1.50 here. Mems silk hose sold there at sl.35. Were on Nineteenth street at Sl.00. The Women's silk hose S6O0 there-were here $450.
 If you think every one of these prices comparative look for yourself. l took pencil and pad and got actual figures.
 There were very few women or men looking at the goods in the hotel. There were few visitors indeed and whether this is due to an awakening of civic consciousness--or the fact that Birmingham gets more for her money at home perhaps doesn't mat ter but in view of both facts, how about buying all shoes in Birming- ham?

 Montgomery. September 24.--(Spe- cial)--Railroads operating into Bir- mingham which have appealed to the Montgomery circuit court from the order of the public service commits sion requiring reduction in the rates on iron ore and limestone when consigned to furnaces in the Birmingham district must file snpersedeas bond tota1ing s53O.0OC as a result of a decision of Judge Walter B. Jones of the circuit court Saturday.
 This bond will reimburse the fur naces interested If the courts uphold the order of the commission. The railroads agree to the amount of the bond because they had already sub mitted testimony to the comrni ssi on that their annual loss would be S215.- 900 if the rates proposed were made effective under the law A bond which suspends rates must be in twice the amount involved to the ap- pellant in one year. Judge Jones fixed the amount of bond following a conference between Hugh White. special assistant attorney general, and Atticus Mullin, secretary of the commission, and George W. Jones and Judge Perry Thomas, represent ing the railroads.
