Growing Demand For Cement Products Is
 Noted in Trade

Cement produs are coming more and more in demand ow ng to the adaptabiIity of cement alike for the durable and the ornamentt., The Ce- ment Products Co.,, West End, reports a larger demand for ornamental urns than has ever been tn case al this season of the year. The demand is in
 cident to the building of handsome homes, most of which are now equipping lawns and portieoes with these urns, which may be of any size and fashion. The demand for cement posts which allow the driving of staples is not as great in he fall ds the spring, the latter being the sea son of fence building. These posts. however, have firmly established themselves. Cement burial vaults have been a standard for many years The Cement Products com pany Is doing a large business in coping for stores and large resi- dences, as It takes the place of stone in appearance and durabilit. al much Hess expense. The company is new furnishing a large supply for First avenue store house. This concern be- gan in small way seven years ago and has continuously increased busi- ness both through placing new forms of concrete products on the market and on account of the general growth of the demand for cement products.

, Stocks have increased straight along since October 1.
 Fewer Bad Order Cars How bad order cars are being re- | duced is instanced by the Northern Pacific which had 4,346 bad order Tears October 16. compared with 6.369 a year ago. The Louisville and Nashville has a full force of men in shops and the Gadsden shops of the Southern have the largest force on record.
 Big Pipe Contract
 Birmingham is interested in the early letting of d contract for 10000 tons of water pipe by San Juan, Porto Rico. If the United States Pipe company is awarded that big s1 ,00O00 contract it is conceded that the pipe will be made in the shops at Birmingham and Bessemer. Gns for Manufacturing Laying of four and one-half mile gas main from the plant of the Ala bama By Products company through the manufacturing district of East Birmingham, which is now projected, will bring this additional source of fuel and power generation to some of the most important industries in the district. These industries have been desiring this gas ever since it became temporarily available and many contracts for it's use will be signed as soon as it is brought to the factories. The National Cast Iron Pipe plant and Vulcan Rivet works have been using this gas successfully for s( me time.
 Larger River Business Tine district was interested in the further increase of tonnage on the Warrior river shown in october fol- lowing q new high mark made in September. Northbound total of Is 1000 tons makes fairly good com parison with southbound total of 1s,000 tons when it is borne in mind that much of the northbound tom mage is miscellaneous freight, while vast majority of the SC uthbound tonnage is coal. lumber, cotton and iron and steel products.
 The state harbor board has al ready begun planning for the fea- lures of port improvement which will be deemed most advisable to start with. Alabama may now be said to be actually headed to that adaptation of state aid to it's port which will make of Mobile what state aid in Louisiana made of New Orleans.
 More Oriental Business
 Japan is closing this week for 5000 tens of rails for the Imperial rail- ways and the South Manchurian Railway company is inquiring for 15,000 tons of rails. All that points to the rail mill at Ensley, which gets the Oriental business of the steel corporation.
 Pleasant Surprise
 Numbers of manufacturers and wholesalers report their surprise at the manner in which business keeps up on the eve of the inventory pe- riod. They account for it by the gen. orally sound trade conditions over the country and to the especially sound conditions in this state, owing to a larger than usual cotton crop selling at higher than usual prices, with full values obtained for grades. due to sampling by the experts of the cooperative marketing assoeia- tions.

By RICHARD F. JOHN NsToN


 There are eutcroppings of dis position, both by maker and consum CT, to have an early end of the dead lock in iron buying and trade for a large tonnage for the first quarter requirements. There Is persistent ru- nor in iren circles that thirty to forty thousand tons of iron have changed hands very recently, but details are held back. Reputed base for the alleged purchases is S23 to SPA. Makers are led to believe that S23 has marked the market bottom This is a drop from the recent hign of S2S50 and threatened $50. once large tonnage is sold a rebound is looked for from time to time; but u is not generally believed that there will be such a pronounced advance as that taking place between July l and the recent high point.
 The buyers strike must come to head one way or the other in the very near future. Consumers can net afford toN order their real ton mage closer than a month before 1t Is to be used. The uncertainty of de- livery will not permit that. The war has been altogether about price. Production has been kept at high pace on account of iron ordered and the 1923 demand already in hand has got to face the market pronto.
 Busy at Steel Mills
 The weeks schedule of the Ten nessee company remains at about the same as it has been for several months, which Is virtually 100 per cent. Bessemer plate mill will not operate this week. but the Fairfield plate mill will take its place. Falr- field blooming and structural mill. and Bessemer guide and bar mills will operate The rail mill remains on a schedule of 10000 tons.
 Wire drawing mills are behind in orders. Nails are twelve weeks be- hind. Operations are at near full ca pacity.
 Change of Officers
 An important change took place November 15 on the personnel of the Alabama company. Harry W. Coffin. vice president and general manager, retiring and Vice President and Sales Manager John w. Porter assuming Mir. Coffin's duties as well as his own.
 Better Product Delivered
 Full forces are reported at the car shops of the railroads and the Chick asaw and Virginia Bridge and Iron company are also turning out re- paired cars. The car SltuatlQn IS un- doubtedly much improved so far as movement of finished products are concerned Eastern advices are to the effect that pipe shops have cleaned up accumulations. Local pipe shops report much easier con- ditions and movement of product. One furnace operator reports move ment thjs month of 4,000 tons of iron from yards in addition to nov ing the days make. That points to further decline in iron stocks at the end of the month. Satisfactorily pig iron was never any stronger.
 Ship is in Mobile for a cargo of 5000 tons of rails and other steel products from Fairfield to be trans ported to Japan and Korea the third cargo of that class of product to go to the Orient this fan.
 Stocks of coal to last 22 days are reported by the. geological survey.

COUNTY COAL co. IS DEVELOPING A
 MODEL MINING TOWN

The increasing demand for Ala bama coal has cauaed the County Coal Company of Alabama, Inc, to begin it's operations before all of It's equip- ment has been installed. The com pany was incorporated in March, 1921, but the equipping and opening of the mine was delayed by freight condi- tions. Nevertheless the company has made great progress. It has con- structed tram line one and three quarters miles long, which connects it's mine, the Billy mine, located at Grants Mill. with the Central of Georgia railroad. A private tele- phone line has been installed which connects with the Southern Bell Tele- phone company at Irondale.
 The company is striving to make labor conditions ideal. Twenty seven modern houses for the miners are nearing completion. They will have electric lights, running water and every convenience of the city home. Over 200 men will be employed. Most of them will be housed in one large boarding house. More houses for those with families will be con- structed as the demand arises. The grade of coal mined by the company is proving up to the standards set by the northern manufacturing concerns Their shipments have reached as far north as Chicago, c. c. Copperstone, general manager of the company, ex- plained. He said that the mine was going to be completely electrified, and that Marcus equipment was going to be installed to grade the coal be- fore it left the mine.

# You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that 50 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to 'medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it,
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation L have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutra]izes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Versatility of Etching.

The needle is the crayon; the acid
adds color. The needle is something
all the more eloquent because its
means of expression are confined with
in more restricted limits. 1t is familiar
and lively in the sketch, which by q
very little must say great deal; the
sketch is the spontaneous letter. It all
but reaches the highest expressions
when it is called in to translate a
grand spectacle, or one or those fugl-
tive effects of light which nature
seems to produce but sparingly, so as
to leave to art the merit of fixing
them.-Maxime Lalanne, in "A Trea-

WAR GRAFT PROTECTION.

CeTeSLeO IN COuCedl1uS Cnem.
It is common knowledge of course
that Attorney General Palmer's chief
business in office was concealing war
grafters, and that a vast amount of
shady dealing was connected with his
administration of alien property.
Everyone also knows that war graft
was nonpartisan and that Republican
machine is just as much interested as
Democratic machine in covering up
the grafters.
In fact Senator Caraway has brought
before the senate facts relating to
Mr.. Daugherty, which would call for
his immediate resignation If grating
and concealing grafters did not have
the nation so thoroughly by the
throat.
Captain H. L. Seattle, an attorney,
was detailed by the department Of
Justice to Investigate the government
dealings with the Bosch Magnetic Com
pany. After thorough investigation
Seattle recommended action against
the company to recover at least ST.
100000. Daugherty did not act and
Seattle who felt himself bound by his
own personal oath to support the con-
stitution and laws Of the United
States, gave the facts to two congress.
men and these congressman brought
the situation before the House recent.
ly. Seattle was fired by .Daugherty
for "disloyalty to the department" In
the meantime two men who had oper
ated privately with Attorney General
Daugherty tried to hire Scaife as at
torney for the Borch Magnetic Com
pany in its defense against the gov.
eminent suit. In other words, the
government agent who made the inves
tigation and who should have had
leading part in prosecuting this alleg.
ed war CRATER was to be used to de
fend it and thus deprive the govern
ment Of his knowledge of the case.
Perhaps Harding cannot we'll get
rid of Daugherty because Daugherty
engineered the campaign which secur.
ed his nomination at Chicago and is
the practical political boss of the G.
o. p. administration.
The daily papers have had much to
say about Daugherty's illsmelling con
nections with the Morse pardon, but
they have all been silent on the mat
ter Of concealing and protecting war
grafters. q.

WOULD EXCEPT FARMERS.

An amendment to the immigration
law which would except farmer immi-
grants from the per cent restriction
has been proposed by Representative
STEVENSON, Minnesota.
Under the Stevenson plan, aliens
experienced in agriculture upon filing
on embarkation sworn statement of
their intention to settle upon public
lands and farm it, or to cultivate 9th
er property, would be admitted with
out regard to percentage restrictions.
Such alien, however, would be requir-
ed to deposit 5000 for himself and
each adult member of his family and
$50 for each minor child, this money
to be returned with interest by the
government upon satisfactory proof
that his declaration had been complied
with. Failing to give such proof the
fund would be used for deporting him
and his family.

ASKS JAPS WITHDRAWAL.
England has served notice upon Jap
an to retire from Siberia according to
recent announcements from London
and if the retirement is affected an
other warning zone in a troubled world
will become tolerably peaceful.
The United States and England
were active in getting Japan into ST.
Derla under the plea OF supporting the
Kolchak expedition against Soviet
Russia. But in spite of Japanese aid
the Kolchak expedition failed after
great slaughter of the local inhabi-
tants. The American forces with
drew and Japan has since been trying
to get in position to monopolize ST.
berian trade.
But neither American or English
business desires to see Japanese bust
ness established in Siberia and be-
cause of the rivalry the Russian peo-
pie who live in Siberia may be able to
secure peace and a fire trade outlet
for their products to the world. Con-
siderable trade between America and
Russia will probably develop if Japan
