SONS referred to were at her child
hood home in Maine. The poem IN
itself is perfect gem, and presents
to the minds eye lovely picture.
They nod and bend at me,
And through their blooms | see
A garden filled with sweetness of the
spring;
A quaint old-fashioned door
Whose steps l cross no more,
And memories half forgotten, back
they bring.
The old house near the street,
Where the brook and river meet,
And the willows nodding ever to the
stream,
Seem part of last years spring
Which the purple lilacs bring,
And memories, dear and distant, as
a dream.

 The first person to file his income tax was Judge J. H. Crittenden. who made out his report early in January. The last man was C. B. Powell who turned in his income tax report near to the closing hour Tuesday night.
 The penalties for failure to comply with the law are as follows For makin 2 false or fraudulent returns. not exceed ing s10000 or not exceeding one year. s Imprisonment, or both. in the discretion of the court, and, in addition, 50 per cent of the tax evaded.

BUILDING LOTS FOR
 HOMES BEING SOLD
 HERE IN NUMBERS
SaIaried Men and Other Wage Farmers Investing From $500 to $1, ,500, and No
 Few Start Building

Sales of lots for building pur- poses are reported in greater num- Der than in some time.
 The average sale is of lots from $500 to s1,50O. The lots are not be- ing bought for speculative pur- poses, but for the building of homes.
 This statement is mnde by NJ. P. Messer. Mir. Messer said; @We have sold more lots for home build ing purposes the past three weeks months. None of the lots was bought, so far as we can see, for speculative purposes, but with the intention of building on them right now. Building has been begun on several of them already.
 ''As a rule, these lots have been bought by salaricd men and wage earners. There is evfedncc that growing number of men of small and moderate means is determined to secure homes of their own and get from under the rent load.
 ''rhere is no rush for lots and for homes, but the improvement has been so marked ms to attract our attention. A distinct trend to- ward home building is here nnd shows every indication of assum- ing a marked impetus.v

NEGRO SNEAK THIEF
 ATTEMPTSROBBERY
Reaches Through Cage Win dow in First NationaI-No
 Money Missing

An unidentified negro yesterday att tempted robbery of one of the receiving tellers' windows at the First National bank shortly after noon and made his escape.
 A careful check of the cash at the cl6se of the days business showed none missing.
 Miss Kathleen Nesbitt is in charge of the railroad remittance window, where the robbery was attempted. She had stepped from her cage to an adjoining cage for a moment when she noticed the man apparently trying to get his hand under the window grill. She gave the alarm and the negro started away leis- urely
 He went out through the main build ing lobby just as word was passed to the banks special officer, w. A. Hood who was near the center of the lobby. Mir Hood started after the negro, when the street and into Second alley, going west Mir Hood lost sight of him when he reached Ninteenth street.
 Immediately after the attempted rob bery a heavy wire about three feet long with curved end was found lying in the lobby. 1t Is presumed that the ne- gro used this to turn over pile of bills which was lying on the counter of the cage about three feet from the window grill. For some time it was not known whether the robber had se- cured any of the bills but when the check was made at the close of business the funds were found to be intact
 The bank authorities have a good de- scription of the negro, and Miss Nesbitt states that she would recognize him anywhere.

BIRMINGHAM TAXES
 LEAD IN BUILDING
Report of National Association Shows City on Top in Build
 ing Operations

At the present time Birmingham is leading all American cities in the mat ter of building operations, according to w Thornton Estes of the Estes Lumber company who has just returned from Chicago, where he attended the directors meeting of the National Re- tail Lumber Dealers association, MT. Estes is a director of the National as- sociation, and represented the south east at the meeting.
 At the Chicago convention, the fig ures of all cities were submitted and Birmingham topped them all the extent proportionately larger than any other place covered in the report.
 The Chicago convention, according to Mir. Estes, was a very successful one, and lumbermen representing every lum- Der producing center in the United States were int attendance. The atti- tude of the delegates was highly optim- istic as to the future of the lumber in- dustry, he said, and it is the prevailing belief among them that building on an extensive scale will soon be under way throughout the country, relieving the present congested conditions of hous- ing and other building facilities.
 During the convention the attention of the meeting was called to the mis- leading reports whichAhave been circu- lated to the effect thai there has been little or no decline in the cost of lum~ Der. It was shown that there has been an average decline of from 35 to 45 per cent for the entire United States. while in Birmingham the reduction In cost of lumber was even lower than that.

Public sentiment forcefully expressed will bring pressure to bear and in sure the establishment -of a permanent market in Birmingham this summer, Judge Hugh Locke, chancellor of the chancery division of the circut court, told the Wednesday forum of the Civic Association of its regular weekly luncheon yesterday.
 Regardless of what is done toward building a permanent market, the city Is assured a. curb market, at least for the summer months. This will be established either at East park or on the east side of Twentieth street on Morris avenue.
 There is little encouragement for truck owners here so long as a perma- nent market is not available,' declared Judge Locke. The county does not raise enough to supply Birmingham, which has prices for produce forced up on this account"
