 We have already heard of one clever schemer. She has purchased a blank book for herself and in tends to transport it to the next Axis club meeting.
 Once there, she will politician around and assess each member within peddling distance 10 cents for the privilege of writing her name in the book.

 The ring was borne to the altar in the folds of lovely rose, fash toned of satin, three heart-captur- ing little folks figuring in the ceremony as flower girls and ring bearer. They were Geraldine Doss of Memphis, Jane Wallace and Holmeade Chichester.
 It was a cunning touch that the two flower girls, who were ador- able in costumes as pinky as wild rose petals, had saucy little short veils caught with orange blossoms around curly heads that, these days, hold so much thought of dolls and mischief.
 The bridesmaids were all gowned after the same mode, their dresses lending varied rainbow tints to the bridal march. Their bouquets were picture hats con- structed of flowers, from which showers of ribbons and tiny blos- soms trailed.

l the home of Mrs. Robert Jemison, Jr., on Thursday, and with about 200 womer present, you can judge it was charming sight and not a dull moment.
 Spring flowers, in all the shades of Natures planting, themselves shivered with little gleeful mo- ments when handclapping was loudest and mirth overwhelmingly provoking, as they stood in lovely holders at intervals along the snow-white tables.
 Great joy followed, too, on an automobile ride over Magic Town, when the visitors were shown ho regular city stacks up. It was these who had the ar engagements in charge, with Mrs. Scale Harris-always sweet and always charming-in the lead as general chairman: Mrs. Carson Adams, Mrs. Eugene Brown, Mrs. Henry L. Badham, Mrs. Ralph Barrow, Mrs. Colman Blach, Mrs. George Connors, Mrs. George Cor don Crawford, Mrs. J. W. Don nelly, Mrs. Luther Doty, Mrs. Henry M. Edmonds, Mrs. Hill Fer guson, Mrs. Al Garber, Mrs. C. B. Glenn, Mrs. Victor Hanson, Mrs. John c. Henley, Mrs. Crawford Johnson, Mrs. R. l. Ingalls,, Mrs. Robert Jemison, Jr., Mrs. J. S. Me Lester, Mrs. J. D. Rosenberger, Mrs. Angus Taylor, Mrs. Oscar Wells, Mrs. R. J. Williams.
 With these women at the wheel, no party could fail to "step around and register 100 per cent.
 Now, then. after the ladies got back from the ride, they didn't have much time to play For the call came to hurry up, since all the local Rotarians and their wives. and the visitors and their wives, were to assemble for dinner at the Country Club.
 O, there were speaking, dancing, a minstrel show, and half a hun dred other stunts.
 It was so lovely to meet this one and that one-and to plan par ties together in other cities; re- call former conferences; drag friends to meet friends scattered fore and aft all over the club house.
 You were stock and stone if you weren't joyous with that "gang" "- that "bunch of Indians -that-O, what are some of those other adorable daily phrases to describe that free-and-easy, captivating commingling of souls which share like ideals, similar prayers, identi- cal, wholesome aspirations?
 o, I know. You were stock and stone if you did not enjoy Tom" and "Bill" and Sam" and "Rufe" and Mary" and Margaret" V who were just 'reg'lar folks." in that unforgettable style brought about when spiritual personalities blend-tone in-in gleesome pro- grams of satisfying happiness.
 There was a luncheon again Fri day-once more with the strangers and their wives, and local Rota- rians and their wives. It was laid in the ballroom of the Tutwiler- and, not content to part without other hours together, a Rotarian reception closed the program Fri day night.
 At the big luncheon Friday, covers were laid for 500 guests.
 Did l forget that everywhere was gay music-when really pretty things were played? Not just headachy, fractious jazz. Once, I am sure, heard that most exqui- site thing they're playing now; "The Love Ship" and again lit- tie old-fashioned melody as pretty as Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes.
 l wish l knew what it was, for l have thought of it so much since.

Birmingham Loses
 Most Popular Girl

NAWOU VII eAAG2A oAA
 There have been a lot of mar riages and giving in marriage in the past and present tenses in this old city of Birmingham.
 For year by year, Cupid just will keep on being an Indian-and smoking the peace pipe, trading beads, setting a scarecrow or dy- namiting the creek only hands the little god another tooth-paste smile.
 And nobody, with the exception of a bungalow agent, is able to render his helpless victims a trifling speck of good.
 And thanks be that Love cannot be downed! Thanks be he does come loping up careless and triumphant-leaving folks crushed and wondering and happy!
 For I swear, fore goodness, I do now and then observe some per sons whom I believe would stran- gle Love and his whole family and children if they could get their ignoble fingers on them, they're so all-fired .nean.
 Such pretty weddings have been taking place this season, and the young folks getting settled for the building of lovely lives together. But among all of them, I think, for sweet simplicity of wedding detail, and for elaboratenesA and number of parties preceding the ceremony, none has surpassed that of Miss Maxine Harris and Mr. Lovick Stephenson, Jr., which took place Wednesday night at the Walker Memorial church.
 Maxine-and nobody could deny that-has been one of the Lost popular girls Birmingham lRs ever had within it's boundaries. Take . little look at her name, for proof of this, in any and practically all of the guest lists of parties that have been given among the younger set within the time she has come back from school. She has married very young-having been out no more than year. But she has married very splendid citizen of Alabama-a young busi- ness man of Childersburg-who is to take her away from her adoring city and her actual hundreds of friends. l have been to at least six of the big parties where the younger set gathered to celebrate this season (of course, there were members of older crowds there, tool and at each one of them, it has never failed that someone has rot poked at me and said:
 70, there-see--that's Maxine Harris. Hey Maxine"
 And that Hey, Maxine" let the secret of her popularity out. For it never failed to be answered by the glowingest, brownest eyes and the charmingest smile; and 1 have seen Maxine almost stop dance to say something sweet to a friend.
 There'll be lot of folks miss ner in Birmingham.
 And say all this without ever meeting the young woman person. ally at all I've just seen and heard her.
 Maxine went to Monticello Semi nary at Godfrey, H., and at Chil- dersburg, she and her husband, who is in the brick business there, will occupy home of their own, later building brand new one to measure up to their own plans and ideals.
 Their wedding trip, from which they will not return for two weeks yet, will include New York and a number of other eastern cities.

0ne Who Served
 Went Away the Week

Birmingham lost the past week friend to many hundreds of per sons when Mrs. Rosa Cain Was buried.
 It was said of her by friends who congregated for the funeral serv- ice at the First Methodist church:
 Her life was given to service; her lips to smiling; and it would be hard to think that she ever spoke an unkind word in her whole life"
 I was struck with what Dr. George Stuart said when he told of her consecraton to church work there
 "She leaves two little girls, and let me say l rarely saw her unless she had them by the hand. She brought them to Sunday school that way; and she always gave me the impression that she was guia- ing them along the path of life lik. that, teaching them the treacfivz- ous points they must pass, and when she was unable to suggest
 further, training them to place their little hands in Gods hand, asking Him to lead them and show them the way gloriously beyond our human reckoning
 Mrs. Gains death was sudden. Her body was given back to the earth at Elmwood, in beautiful spot where the grass is bright and as soft green as magic carpet.

ToBuryReyes in Monterey

Monterey, Mex, Jan. 20. - After
resting since 1918 in the Tepeyac GENE
terry 81 Mexico City. the body Of Gen
eral Bernardo Reyes will probably be
brought to Monterey and inferred in
a tomb to be prepared for it. General
Reyes was formerly governor Of the
state OF Nuevo Leon and many Of his
years were spent in directing the af
fairs Of this state.
The removal Of the body Of the gen.
eral to this city will recall the tragic
days of 1913 when Francisco Madero
was swept from power and met death
few days later. General Reyes, who
had resided at San Antonio, Texas, fol-
lowing the flight Of Diaz from Mexico,
crossed the Rio Grande at the head of
a few companions and undertook to o.
ganize a rebellion gainst the Madero
regime. His surrender and imprison-
ment in Mexico City and his death
while be stood in a doorway of the Ma
tional Palace during the fighting which
eliminated in the overthrow OF Ma
dero, ere matters Of history. After the
tragic ending of the Madero regime,
the body of General Reyes was inferred
in Mexico City with high honors.
Now the municipal council Of Mon
terey has undertaken the removal OF
the body to this city.

CATTLE EPIDEMIC IN

CONCERN IN MEXICO
Quarantine Is Established to
Prevent Spread of Dr.
sease From Honduras.

Mexico City, Jan. 2O.-The appear
ance Of a disease, similar TO epizOotic,
among the stock in the Republic Of
Guatemala, has caused this government
TO declare a quarantine against the cat
tie Of that country, which will result in
all stock impOrtatiOns from the South
being detained at the frontier for fiji
teen days. The GuatemaltecU authOri-
ties claim that the disease has been i'm
ported TO the country by herds of cows
brought across the border from Hon
duraS, where a similar disease is re-
ported to be-ra-ing. --a ..'..
Many Honduras cattle are brought to
Mexico via Guatemala, though most of
the Honduran product is shipped to
Cuba and from there a considerable
number of them reach the United
States, particularly Florida, to which
climate they are popularity believed to
be particularly adapted. So many COM
plants have been made against the dis
eaSed condition of cattle brought from
the lowlands of Honduras that the De
partment of Agriculture has considered
the absolute prohibition of allowing cat
tie Of that origin TO enter Mexican ter
ritOry at any time.
The Honduras cattle are the inbred
product of the stock originally taken to
that country by the Spaniards in the
carly settlement of it. These have been
bred and inbred for matter of what
now amounts to some hundreds of years
without apparent deterioration of the
appearance of the stock, as they are
magnificent specimens of beef cattle and

Mining Activity Increases as
New Prospects Are
Opened and Exploited.
SEE NEW DISTRICT
Los Arados Mountains Give
Promise Of Gold, Sill
yer and Lead.

Chihuahua, Mexico, Jan. 20--A num-
Der of new filings on mining claims
were recorded with the JuareZ mining
agent this week. Leonardo Zormilla of
FL Paso has located some prospects in
the BancO de Lucero mountains south
of Juarez. The veins carry ores Of
lead, silver. copper and some indications
of gold. Preparations are being made
to sink a shaft near the center of the
group which comprises five adjoining
claims.
Alberto B. 'Almeida of Juarez has
denounced ten claims in Los Muertos
mountains of La Ascencion district.
They are situated in the vicinity of La
Esperanza, Quien Sabe, Juanita and
Revelation mines, which produce silver
lead ores. Development work will be-
gin by sinking a shaft on the main vein.
Files on Six Claims.
Ismael Anchoncho of Villa Gonzalez
has recorded the Herradura group of
six claims in Los Arados mountains nj
the jurisdiction of the Juarez mining
agency. The vein embraced in the sur
vey carries ores with gold values in
silver, lead and gold. There are no
other properties in the vicinity but 1t
is believed that with development work
a good proposition will be opened up
and other miners will flock to the dis
trict.
In the Ocampo region. also in the
northern part of the state of Chihua-
hua, activity is noted in the mining in
dustry and several new properties are
being opened up. Joe Z. Hyder has
made two locations there. Ell Lucero is
a group a short distance north of the
old Morea mine which has produced
some good silver-lead ore, and the Co
roma Azul, adjoining the Victoria mine,
promises 10 become a big producer with
Il small amount of development work.
Each group is composed of ten contigu-
Gus claims with veins containing ores
of a similar character.
Shows Gold, Silver and Lead.
Three claims have been recorded in
the Guadalupe Y Calvo region by
Ricardo Ramirez. to be titled the Mon.
serrate. The vein traverses the prop
erty from cast to west and shows sur
face indications of gold, silver and lead.
The first shaft is to be sunk near the
center of the survey and will be of suf-
ficient depth to fully demonstrate the
values in the veins.

has been acquired by Jesus CARA who

MINES ARE CLOSED
Labor Troubles Cause Shutdown in
Vicinity Of Pachuca.

Monterey, Mex, Jan. 2O.-Profes-
sional agitators have influenced condi-
tons so much that nearly all the mines
near the city of Pachuca-one of the
richest territories Of this country-have
been closed. leaving without work more
than $4,000 laborers.
According to a dispatch published by
"El Porvenir," a local paper, some of
the most important mines closed down
Tuesday, among them the following :
"Camelia." Santa Ana" Rosario"
"Paraiso" and others of minor i'm
porance up to fifteen mines, all of
them owned by the Compania Minera
Real del Monte and PaChuca.
All the mines were closed Wednes-
day, says another dispatch published
by some of the evening periodicals of
this city. The miners obstructed the
setting out of several cars loaded with
silver bars. which were destined to the
Bank of Montreal of Mexico City.
Indications are that the majority OF
the workers are willing to work but
they are not able TO do so because they
the hindered by the professional agita.
tors and a minor group q workers who
have posted themselves in front Of the
mines and will not let any one come
near them. The willing workers are
now trying to see the governor of Hi
dalgo so as to get from him enough
federal forces to safeguard them while
they start operations again.
1t is feared that some of tine mine'
may be flooded by the end of the weel
as some of the pumps which were il
use are not operating. The mechanics
were the first to walk out.
