PROTEST LOCATION OF
 CITY GARBAGE DUMP.

A large delegation of East Bir- mingham citizens yesterday called upon the city commission and vigor- ously protested against action of Commissioner W. E. Dickson in re- moving the garbage dump from Woodlawn to their vicinity. il
 The protests may be instrumental in having the official dump" re- moved for the third time to another section of the city Commissioner Dickson promising them that pending inspection of several proposed sites, which will develop later, the present location would be used since garbage wagons have only patronized the new location for one day.

QUIET AT MINES
Production Falls off Somewhat This
 Week Because of Heavy Stocks

The coal mining field in Alabama was void of feature. Yesterday half the men out at Garnsey in Bibb coun- ty reported for work. There has been no rifle anywhere else.
 Coal production will fall off this week, according to well-posted oper- ators. because practically every coal consumer stocked up heavily prior to April as protectian against possible trouble. These will not be in market again for some time.
 Stocks all over the country are very heavy and no call on Alabama to help out anywhere is expected for some time if 1t comes at all.

 The canvass of industrial plants. offices. and stores made greater head way yesterday than at any time dur ing the past week. As an example of the success which the workers are meeting with, a team. headed by Jul ian l.. Mason and Gordon Robinson, canvassed Overton mines and received $672 in cash and subscriptions.
 Assurances were received yester- day that several additional subscrip- tions for amounts of about $1, 900 will be announced today and number or the teams will make their weekly re- ports by noon today.
 yesterday was the best day of the campaign. both in number of workers, number of subscribers, and in the total amount of money and pledges received" said Chairman Adams. "Of the teams reported yesterday, every captain expressed surprise at the cor dial reception with which the work CTS were meeting, and all seem en- unused over the fact that so many people of small means were making contributions.
 "In addition to striving for the honor of collecting the largest amounts, much rivalry has come up among the teams in the matter of securing the highest precentase Of subscription. Several of the teams the past three days have reported 100 per cent subscriptions for the day and. in view of the fact that they called on large numbers of people, many of whom were in strained finan- cial circumstances, these records are nothing short of remarkable.

CHINESE RAILROADS in BAD
STRAITS, REDUCE EXPENSES

Picking, Sept. 15.-The Ministry of
Communications, China's NATIONAL
railroad department, is making deS-
lperate efforts to put itself on a sound
basis as the foreign creditors press
for payment. There has been a con-
slant threat Of international inter-
vention unless something is done to
meet the obligations, which are now
placed at about $6o0r0OO,OoO silver.
The situation is aggravated by the
fact that the roads are now showing
"a constant deficit thanks to the
last few years Of revolutions and
they were considered one of the best
railroad properties in the world and,
although only nine thousand miles in
all, were yielding an annual net in

Make Foreign Appeal.
The new administration has issued
a statement largely for foreign con-
sumption, setting forth plans of
further construction which it is es-
tinated will increase the total rev.
and the Minister of Communications
"a position corresponding to that
held by McAdoo during the war-has
embarked upon q policy of ruthless
economy One of his first acts was
to cut off the subsidies of the news
papers, which amounted to more than
$4,000 a month, and thereby brought
down upon his head one of the most
bitter Journalistic attacks ever
launched in Picking. He cut the staff
of the Ministry itself to nearly one
third and almost halved the railr DAD
| administrative personnel. This saving
will amount to about $18,0G0,000 a
year. If the Minister is able to main

Expenses are Reduced.
These policies, although laudable
have been purely negative, and the
| reduction of the personnel was made
very much at random, eliminating
good and bad engineers alike. Also
| the rolling stock and roadbeds have
been permitted to fall into a. bad state
of repair. Thus the new plan has
been evolved which proposes to in.

WALLA WALLA EXPECTS
600 CARS OF ONIONS

Onions grown in the Walla Walla
section of Washington are reputed To-
cally to have been developed from
Spanish seed, according to a federal
report. They are sometimes termed
"French" onions or Washington Yel-
low Globe" but since only one kind Is
raised in the immediate vicinity of
Walla Walla they are called CONNER
cially "Walla Walla Yellow Globe"
They are usually planted in the fall
and thinned out in the spring for
green onions. Occasionally 'Prizetak-
ers are grown in the Walla Walla dis
trict, but they, too, can be described as
yellow globe onions.
The Walla Walla crop will amount
this year to about 500 cars, according
to the district horticultural inspector,
the crop having been cut in half by
thrips and Fusarium decay, the latter
disease being especially bad in some
fields. Onions are customarily pulled
in that section while the tops are still
green They are sacked without cur
ing, roots intact, though they are al
lowed to remain in the field in tn
sacks a few hours for the cut neck to
dry over.
The onions thus far have been gen
orally Very firm, although the dry
scales easily fall off. Most of the
stock is bright, the remainder being |
fairly bright. Many of the Walla |
Walla onions are not of particularly |
attractive shape, resembling bottle
necks." However, this popularity
loes NOT affect the grade hecousr
hey are northern-grown onions.

RAT BITTEN BY RATHER
KILLS IT AND LIVES

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. 22.-
Charles johnson, Il farmer, living
south of Clyde, caught rattlesnake
and housed it in box. He had plan
ned to bring the snake to Rochester
and turn it over to Pete Gruber, bet
ter known as "Rattlesnake Pete"
A rat of enormous size ventured
into one of Johnson's steel traps.
The rodent was so large that he could
not enter the trap, The springs held
him by his front legs.
Astonished at the size of the rat,
Farmer johnson thought a little sport
would be appreciated. Inviting sew
eral farmer friends, Johnson managed
to drop the rat into a potato pit and
then shoop the box holding the ratter
over 1t. The snake soon fell into the
pit and coiled up in a corner 1t was
expected that the snake would make
short work of the rat.
For few minutes nothing happen
ed, both snake and rat taking opposite
corners and cycling each other very
carefully. Suddenly the snake began
to attack. With lightning swiftness it
shot out its head, caught the rat un-
aware and sank its fangs in the ami
mails nose. The rat squealed with
pain and rage and actually tore itself
loose in a desperate struggle in which
both rat and rattler rolled over the
floor of the pit.
Next the rat sprang at the snake.
As the snake Squirmed the rat leaped
into the air and caught the snake
back of its head tearing the flesh and |
inflicting a deep wound with its teeth |
The energy of the rats attack ap-
puzzled the snake, which was
bitten time and again. Finally the
rat secured a firm hold on the snake
directly under its head and hung on
intil the serpent was fairly choked to
ieath.
The farmers covered the pit with
'ordwood ana left rat ana dead snake

o be alive and active in the morning.
