We hope you'll like our city and us and come to visit very often"
 Have you met Mir. Smith. MT. Jones, Mir. Brown-Mrs. Blank? Oh, you must know theml We couldn't get along without them!'
 Farmers Boost, Too
 And farmers coming into the town Joined with the citizenry to say . good word for the busy little place, and to voice a greeting in the name of the valley Then all discussed their problems together and were particularly interested in a proposed creamery that probably, very shortly will be new business for the town.
 Talk of the creamery introduced to all strangers o. D. Borough, one of the planters of Cahaba valley, who had arrived to talk over the situa- tion with C. c. Meadows. And" de- clared Mir. Elliott, 'Tf all of our other men show themselves as eager to assist us as Mir. Borough, we'll lave that creamery, too" While MT. Borough does not live in Leeds, lie turns every wheel he can for the prosperity of the home town.
 MT. Borough, 1t was emphasized, is one of the valley men who proves that farming Is a paying proposition in Alabama. For he makes 1000 bushels of corn every year, raises lucrative truck gardens, supplies much butter and milk to Leeds and finds a ready market for all ne brings.
 The surroundings of the city repre- sent one of the most prosperous sec tions anywhere, the citizens owning their own farms and most of them having bank accounts. They make fhair fxrip hA For days, outlined MT. Spruiell:
 Not So Much Cotton
 Our citizens do not depend so much on cotton. They are turning their attention to soy beans, hay. cat tie and are realizing a great deal more money on them than they pre- yiously did on cotton. The trade at home idea is pretty generally ac- cepted here, which, of course, lends to our growth. And to show what good returns this means to our local business men, MT. and Mrs. I. l.. Cooper are just now erecting three fine new stores at cost of s25.00o."
 Here Dr. J. O. Griffin added en- sincere declarations:
 We really feel that our town Is the garden spot of the earth. We can't really say anything bad about 1t. We have a hustling citizenship, unity of spirit and everybody wor as. We have excellent churches, the best high school in Jefferson county, and an enormous amount of good things to eat, which we raise ourselves. It is a fine fruit section and we have quantities of delicious peaches and apples as well as oceans. Much oats, cane. sweet potatoes and sorghum is raised. and the citizens pride them selves on having good home gardens and pretty floral yards.
 Then we are not very far form irmingham-about IS miles-where we can rum in to enjoy ladvanta es we may not have here. and be back at home again in a little while."
 The valley and the mountains are we'll timbered, which guarantees busy work for a splendid sawmill. which
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-06-18

is owned by c. H. Grayson The head ing mill of which Mr wooten is su- perintendent, also is supplied With timber from close by. And located, as the farms are, in rich, fertile tracts of valley land, s100 and up are the prices asked per acre.
 800 Employed Men
 About 800 men are employed in the various industrial plants of Leeds, their children being able to pursue their education most satisfactorily in the splendid high school, which shortly is to have an addition. The citizenry is very much interested in schools and education, since Leeds is the educational center for all that section of Jefferson county
 Athletics also is stressed, the town having one of the best ball teams anywhere, its record being only two games lost this season.
 The biggest industrial plant of the city Is that of the Atlas Portland Cement company which finds splen- did local material for manufactur- ing cement, which builders will tell you is unexcelled. This plant, which is superintended by Charles F. Lewis, produces just 100000 barrles of cement a month"; and keeps run hiue lhe year TOuHu. u IS an lnler- esting as well as beautiful plant, and visitors to the city always are eager to be permitted to watch the pro- cess of making from it's in cipient stage down to the moment the finished product is dumped into sacks and stacked ready for ship ment.
 The cement plant employs 500 people. and of it the citizenship is justly prideful MT. Elliott located this plant among the first at Leeds, being salesmanager for the Leeds Improvement company, which keeps an eye on land sales and real estate. It really stands as a monument to his hard work. He Is also one of the stockholders in his company. of which Major F. M. Tutwiler, Col. J, A. Montgomery, and he were the founders The three of them can well be said to be the actual foun- ders of Leeds. It was here that Ma jor Tutwiler started his magnificent fortune, 1t was declared, and touch ing tribute was paid to Colonel Mon tgomery, who is now dead. for his unceasing interest in the citys prog ress. This land company located the brick plant there and put up the first sawmill. in conjunction with D. W East. A wooden tram track, about two an6 one-half miles long was built to bring timber into Leeds
 MT. Tut~viler No Visitor
 "On account of the conservation and farsi ghtedness of Major Tutwil- er," declared Mir. Elliott, has the present progress of the city been reached. The only fuss Leeds ever has with the major Is that he doesn't come to visit us often enough
 "The people here want to have a park and name 1t. The 'Tutwiler' for him. His first venture at Leeds was in the coal and iron business" ! At the city big sawmill, 200 people are employed; at the heading mill, 40; and at the bottling works. which is owned by J.

 Will Meet Magic City
 For while we may be off here at one end of the county. we are try ing to hold up our side of the job; and If Birmingham is to eventually occupy the whole county, we at least want to meet her a quarter of the way
 ' This was the sentiment of J. B. Elliott, affectionately dubbed the Duke of Leeds" and the man. the citizens will tell you. who has been responsible for locating practically all of the big interests in that little town.
 He dedicated himself to thebuild- Ing and expansion of Leeds years ago, and not one waking moment since has he forgotten. his Ideal. Wherever you find him, one day or the other. he Is talking Leeds, boast ing Leeds, laying before monied men and others the opportunities offered in that section for conyeniences, re- sources and other commodities that he knows can be realized with this or that effort.
 Oh. nothing could be more pleasant that an early morning drive from Birmingham to Leeds. And the morning that Joe c. Hail. prominent T. and 1 made the trip, there, must have been at least million birds singing on either side of the road, and flow CTS as gorgeous as any that ever bloomed in the yard of a queen to be seen peeking, out from crags. from under moss covered rocks along wayside brooks. Skies were so bright blue. and the air just chill enough to be extremely rarified,
 Puzzled About Roads
 MT. Hail. who was going up candi- dating as we'll as to attend to some business. was a little puzzled as to roads, since. everything being made so beautiful in that section, there Is a different aspect from it's former appearance. This has been caused by the work of the Bankhead high way committees, which are pledged not only to good roads but roads flanked with lovely flowers, shady trees, vines and monuments. Only preliminary road work has been done so far, but in time to come the colorfulness of blossoms along the highway will make it appear at a distance like gigantic silken thread of pastel shades. Already at two lovely homes at Pole Cat Gap, Mrs. James N. White, who resides at Rose Hill Place, pointed out growing flowers of several hundred different varieties and colors, and showed us a nearby hill where another member of her family may later build and create a third stretch of botanical glory.
 When we arrived at Leeds the first person to meet us was the Duke. whose big. hearty handshakes pre- coded only a few moments those that of the mayor of the town, J. M. Spruiell and his wife.

DAMAGE TO OYSTERS
BY cREvAssE WATER

Now that the oyster season has
fairly opened. oyster dealers are be-
ginning to feel the effects OF the
crevasse water below New Orleans
on the bivalves. The local supply Of
oysters has not been disturbed, for
these oysters come mainly from the
section west of the river, and the
Bayou Cook, Four Bayous and. Tim
balier beds were not affected by the
fresh water. 1t is oysters from these
sections that are preferred by tbs
local trade. The canneries in the
vicinity OF New Orleans consume the
oysters from the Louisiana marsh"
principally, and those other sections
near the mouth OF the river into
which the crevasse water ran. The,
more remote sections Of the marsh
were not affected. but the destruction
of tne crop over considerable ex-
tent OF territory will affect the crop
used by the canneries. This refers
to. canneries near New Orleans sole.
ly. for the beds supplying the import.
ant canneries at Morgan City and
other points in that section did: not
suffer from the inflow Of fresh water.
New Orleans will consume It's usual
annual supply OF 100000 barrels of
oysters this year. and these oysters
will be the finest In the world, being
considered much superior to the coun.
ter trade than those from the louis
lana marsh.

building has been rearranged some
what to add to the comfort OF the
sportsmen, and those who visit the
lodge this season will find every de-
tail provided for the enjoyment Of the
sport of duck and goose hunting. Am
pie hunting boats are provided for
hunters and there will be sufficient
guides for all. Ducks are already be-
ginning to arrive in numbers. and the
outlook is for q fine season of sport.
Basing their estimate on the
charges at other clpbs, many persons
think the charges at the lodge are
much greater than they really are.
The charge at the lodge for bed and
board Is $3.50 q. day. and the charge
for a paddler and guide is SO daily.
This is the only expense attaching
to visit to the club, except the
transportation charge to reach the
grounds. Visitors can reach the

The thief, who entered by window,
carried it bodily. into an adjoin-

His haul, howaser, did not amount
% more than a few stamps and some
blank orders, which, without the
