PRICES OF VARIOUS PRODUCTS
 SEEM BALANCED

A glance at the present and pre-war prices of leading commodities discloses the fact that the average farm product at this time is as much above the pre-war price as most other commodities
 Among others may be mentioned:
 No. 1 wheat, $1.7e, compared with gs cents in 1914.
 Corn, S1 cents, compared with 76 cents.
 Oats, 49 cents, compared with A cents. Cotton, 20 cents, compared with 1s.25cents. Wool, 47 cents, compared with 2s cents.
 Rice. 6.75 cents, compared with 6 50 cents. Butter, 37.5o cents, compared with 2s.5o cents.
 On the other hand, sugar, which the farmer buys is 5.25 cents, compared with 4.30 cents, and coffee is II cents compared with cents It appears that what the farmer has to sell and what he has to buy are close to parallel. Farm products went no lower than pig iron, but were sooner to recover.

STEEL CONCERNS FINDING NEW
 OUTLETS BY WATER

Buffalo blast furnaces are sending pig iron to Chicago by water connections of the great lakes. One cargo of 7,60o tons was recently transported in that manner and more is to follow.
 West bound traffic via the New York barge line is increasing. Of this movement the Journal of Commerce says:
 Shippers are more and more turning to the cheap transportation afforded by all- territory, and the whole region of the great lakes. These savings make it easier for them to compete with the growing manufacturing nlants of the middle west.''

FHE RE ARE MORE NEWSPAPER
 MEN THAN JOURNALISTS

4 nay not be amiss to refer to the late Henry Watterson as a journalist, but as a rule, active newspaper workers prefer to bs known simply as newspaper men or women.
 The term Journalist has acquired signif- canoe that most newspaper people dislike. It suggests the poseur rather than a person who is capable of working 16 or more hours a day when the pressure is high and takes more pride in being called "slave" than jour nalist. Newspaper people know their fellow men too well to have many illusions about themselves. Experience has taught them that the bigger the front" the more apt it is to conceal vain medocrity, or worse.
 The New York World recently issued a pamphlet entitled, "Who's Who on the World" The first 25 biographies were repro duced from "Who's Who in America" There are just two Journalists" in the lot. There are authors, editors, cartoonists correspondents and writers, but most of the 25 style them selves newspaper men,

THE EDITORIAL WRITER

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 In his latest contribution to the Saturday Evening Post, Chester s. Lord says some val make his career in what MT. Lord calls journalism "a good word, but unprofes- sional nowadays. What he says about editorial writing is the most informative part of it, since that is not much touched upon except by writers who know very little about it, and is as important for what it does not say as for what it does.
 Mr Lord truly says that it is "harder to catch the knack" of editorial writing than of news writing; but his explanation is not full enough and leaves untouched the belief of most reporters that editorial writer has nothing to do except look wise for an hour or so and write the obvious. This belief amounts to superstition with most reporters. The reporter as Prof. Franklin Matthews, of the Columbia School of Journalism used to say in his ardent way, is the backbone of the news paper 'We all rest on his back" was Mir Matthews vivid way of putting it. The re- porter knows it. in carrying the newspaper on his back he has been known to work twenty z haps he sees that the editorial writer has that 'knack" of which Mir. Lord speaks, but the apportionment of the awards seems to him un- just.
 One needs to have been both a reporter and an editorial writer to where the fallacy lies. "Knack, is good word so far as it goes, but no editorial writer can hold his job on a great newspaper if all he has got is the "knack." He has also to have background. If the reporter is, as Franklin Matthews said, the backbone of a newspaper the editorial writer is it's face, and by him the newspaper is loved or hated The slightest error damns the paper and brings in basketfuls of letters of protest whereas the reporters mistakes bring in about 25 per cent at the most of the reproaches to which he is entitled. Usually he does not draw even 1 per cent or none at all This is a curious com mentary on the saying that nobody reads edi- torials."
 The background of an editorial writer con sists of everything he ever has studied read, observed, heard in casual conversation or seen for himself. A baby playing in the street, Shakespeare and the widest doctrines of Sir

LETTERS TO EDITOR
SEEKS MANUFACTURING SITE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Seeing your editorial on the advantages of the south as a manufacturing district copied by the San Antonio Express, reminds me that Birmingham with it's potential coal, iron and water supplies would be suitable location for manufacturing implements used in cotton cul- ture.
 For the past 12 years have been working on a mechanical cotton picker, and believe I have succeeded in designing machine that will pick cotton successfully, and I am now wondering if you or the Chamber of Com merce of your city would be sufficiently in terested in seeing an enterprise of this nature developed and located in your city to lend your support to the undertaking. If so, I shall be glad to go into details upon hearing from you.
 No one wa deny that successful in- vention of this nature would be wonderful boon to the cotton industry, as well as make big profits for the manufacturers. I still realize that there are many "doubting Thom- ases" as to the practcability of sue ha ma chine, but I am prepared to show that my machine is practicable. c. B. SEWELL.

HUMAN LIFE

By Aubrey Thomas de We're. Sad is our youth, for it is ever going, Crumbling away beneath our very feet; Sad is our life, for onward it is flowing, In current unperceived because so fleet; Sad are our hopes for they were sweet in sowing,
 But tares, self-sown, have overtopped the wheat; Sad are our joys, for they were sweet in
 blowing;
 And still, oh still, their dying breath is sweet And sweet is youth, although it hath bereft us Of that which made our childhood sweeter
 still;
 And sweet our lifes decline, for 1t hath
 left us
 nearer good to cure older i'll; And sweet are all things, when we learn to
 prize them,
 Not for their sake, but His who grants them or denies them.

"The Who Is She feature running in The Age-Herald was a joke on our office Wednes- day. said J. B. Aird, Jr. of the firm of Bailes & Aird, local attorneys, last night.
 '"The young lady snapped by MT. Baird, cameragram man, happened to be Miss Emily Worth of our office. Of course, all of us had read the paper through. None of recognized the picture under Who Is She.' Later in the day, George Brewer of the Birmingham Trust was in the office and commented on the camera mans faithful reproduction We all took an- other look and had to admit that the joke was not on The Age-Herald's staff photographer, but on us instead"
