brought from contiguous districts trough various carriers.
 This progressive step by the busi- ness men of Florence will tend not only to protect that city from dis ease originating elsewhere, but will do much towards arousing the rural districts to safeguard themselves through better cooperative health measures. The whole Tennessee Val ley, rich in production and in resi- dential attractions, is doing a con- structive work in the improvement of it's sanitary conditions. The more the people of that section accomplish in this direction, the greater theil progress and contentment, whether the work be done in congested cen ters, or in the rural districts. The two are mutually dependent not only in business and social relations, but as respects the health of both.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS By Frederick Houk Law
Hugh Chisholm

When you journey from one place to another on the railroad train you notice the persistence with which the train newsboy comes through your car offering he was not obliged to spend his evenings in study, but he chose to spend them that way. and therefore laid the foundation of greatness. He gained an educa- ton because he was willing to work hard to get it and to go to evening school. He was thrifty and saved the money he earned He observed opportunities, and saw that he could make more money if he could multiply him- self. That meant hiring other boys to work for him, so he set about it, beginning with one and you magazines, books, gum, post cards, cigars and souvenirs. You wonder how he can endure the noise and tolts and dust of con- stant travel. for you find even a short journey tiresome. You do not see in the boy the things that may lie In the future. The men | "AO lidNclcu Ou lHt lIdlHS Oll which the boy Thomas A. Edison sold his papers saw nothing but an ordinary boy. So. too, the men who travelled on the trains where Hugh Chisholm sold papers saw nothing of the great paper manu- facturer that the boy was to be- | come. Any boy. even 8 train boy. Is worth looking at, for he may conceal a future man of fame.
 Hugh Chisholm was obliged to work for a living, and he chose the selling of papers on trains ending with nearly three hundred. Having multiplied himself he was able, as it were, to be on many trains at one time. to be in places a hundred miles apart. and to make large sums of money. Any one else might have done it. but he did it. Anyone else might have been satisfied, but he saw a sttll larger future.
 Someone must make money by printing the papers that he sold, so he set out into printing, and did well. Still he looked further ahead and thought that someone must | make money by making fthe paper on which men printed newspapers; so. taking some of his profits he entered the business of manufac- turing paper. He succeeded, and again played his old game of ] bringing together many factories into one great body. In this way he became one of the greatest paper manufacturers, and all be- cause he had carried into life the business principle he had learned while only a train newsboy.

steam and domestic demand with ease. The trouble has been that, when coal is scarce, the roads have been in the scramble for the reduced production as soon as the commercial and domes- tic consumer and they have caused embarrassment of the latter by the preferences which they extend to coal for their own uses, going so far as to confiscate coal mined and billed to factories and retail coal yards. The railroads have issued public state ment to the effect that they intend to have such stocks on hand on the eve of the autumnal season as to al low practically ninety per cent. of rolling stock for transportation of producing freight.
 That will be better for the roads, better for every kind of producer and better for the coal trade That will come nearer preventing the unreason- ably high prices for coal in the au- tumn and winter than any other measure that can be taken. When the railroads do this customarily the public perhaps may benefit from an- other change in the conduct of the coal business, namely, a stable price for the product, spring, summer, fall and winter. The retail price has been eustomarily and automatically raised month by month, commencing with April, when the low price is set. There is a species of arbitrariness in that procedure that might well be ohviated through elimination of the railroads as competitors for coal in the months of October, November and December

FOR RURAL SANITATION

a One of the manifestations of appre- Eciation of the value of the public shealth as a community asset which sthe people of the Tennessee Valley gre presenting in practical ways is the offering of prizes by the Flor ence Chamber of Commerce for the
 most sanitary premises in the rural districts of Lauderdale county during the summer months. Several other towns in that section have followed this example to stimulate interest in
 this important work. While Florence
 has ordinances providing for sanitary
 precautions, such as the screening of
 foods for sale, sewer regulations an
 the like, it was found that typhoid and other diseases were frequently

FARM BUREAU GROWS

f The Alabama Farm Bureau is gain
 ing an average of two hundred mem-
 bers a week, last weeks quota being
 130 in Elmore and 83 in Barbour { The membership is acquired through [ co-operative effort of the state bu-
 reau, the county bureaus and the
 county demonstration agents. This
 kind of team work pays and counts
 for results. Alabama farmers appear < to have grasped the meaning of the 2 Farm Bureau. It is nothing more nor < less than lending to the product of each farm the combined weight and ss influence of the yield of all the farms sof all the bureau members. The mem 5, Der of the bureau does not go to the
 markets with his individual produc- 2 tion, but he goes with the entire pro-
 duction of the entire membership warehoused, insured and so financed ssthat there is no need for quick sale. He who wants money on his crop may get it at low rate of interest and wait on favorable market levels for a
 good price. The one certain thing is 5 that each farmer member of the Farm Bureau stands to receive better sprice for his product than non-mem- bers, and he also is in position to be financed at lower cost if needs be. @ The alacrity with which the Ala -bama farmers are joining the bureau sat this time is augury of profitable
 marketing season; foreshadows the .top market prices for the staple. The
 Farm Bureau cannot fix the price, but 1t can so gradually and advisedly mar -ket the staple as to prevent dictation --of price by the middle men. To that z;extent it does participate in price smaking and it follows that where price-making is subject of real trade =and barter with equally strong ele- Sments on each side neither party is going to run away with the goods. sThe moral effect of the Farm Bureaus Cooperative marketing system is the
 winning of respect for the grower on snart of the purchaser. That induces She purchaser to realize from the Starr raat he must pay reasonable

TELLING ALABAMA's STORY

The executive committee of cham bers of commerce of Alabama will meet in Mobile Saturday to arrange details of the plan to raise four to six hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of advertising the resources of this state to outside capital and> en- terprise. This states is able to point rot only to huge stores of raw ma terials, but also to successful indus tries now at work converting some of these raw materials into merchant able commodities. Some of these in- dutsrfes have already reached com manding proportions, and yet the limits of their potenial expansion are not in sight. They stand as irresisti- ble invitations to new capital, and furnish unnistakable proof of the sue cess to be won in Alabama. The ad- vertisement, therefore, will not only catalog the opportunities, but will enumerate the successes now in pro- cess here.
 Preliminary to any complete ad- vertisement of this states resources and raw materials must be a survey of the entire state and complete codi- fication of raw materials, their loca- ton, their extent, their quality, their convenience to transportation and to labor, conditions of climate and of health, an enumeration and q classi- fication of industries already in op- eration, sources of power, and other factors that enter into the calculations of capital when seeking new fields. Such a survey might very well be a concern of the state itself, and the legislature could contribute no more valuable support to the advertising movement, than to provide for state survey and the compilation of such information as is necessary to the purpose. Thus the advertisements would be supported by the official and technical basis so essential to the winning of confidence.
 me StauncheSC DulWark Of those upon whom the program devolves is the fact that Alabama's strongest bid for nationwide attention is the simple statement of the truth. This state is in reality an undiscovered empire. Even those who live here do not com- prehend its natural riches. The pro posed campaign will be Illuminating to the people of Alabama as well as to the people outside. It will be stimu- lating, and will perhaps lead those who have been investing Alabama capital elsewhere to bring it back here to help transform this commonwealth into one of the leading industrial states of the Union.

Dreams of Gruesome Stories


 When you dream that you are telling gruesome stories. or that you are listening to them. you may look forward to very pleasant ex- periences. This vision is one of the, most peculiar on record as 1t foreshadows not exactly the con- trary. but something entirely different from anything indicated by the dream itself. The more you seem afraid of the gruesome tale which your sleeping cars are drinking In, or the more others seem to be afrait of 1t, the hap pier will be the hours of your near future. There will be laugh ter. there will be good company, there will be outings. there will. in fact, be all the little things that make life worth while. and the round of pleasure that Is walt ing for you will remain in your memory for months as one of the happiest seasons.A
 If it appears to be night time while the gruesome dream stories to come will all occur in the morn ings or afternoons.
 If your dream seems to trans pire in broad daylight it will be in the late hours that you will find jolly companions and happy momenes. If you seem to be in much company, the experiences to come will concern only you and one or two others. If you are with only one or very few persons during the dream incidents. the pleasures awaiting you will de- velop in the course of merry making in which large number of people will take part.

CLEANLINESS FOR FOOD

The express determination of the city health commissioner to protect the food served or sold to the people of Birmingham is worthy of public approval and support. The need for protection of this sort goes far be- meath the surface. It is not only the environment under which food is of fered to the people that needs at tention. There is required also a complete reformation in the condi- tions under which food is kept or pre- pared before ever it comes into pub lie view. Many storehouses and public kitchens of this city cry aloud for a deep and far-reaching reformation. There is many person who eats i'll the pleasant dining room with hearty appetite, who would not be so well satisfied were he able to look back of the screen into the kitchen.
 Cleanliness is the one essential to health in the preparation of food This refers not only to the food it. self, but also to the utensils in which : the food is kept and served. The washing of dishes is in many places perfunctory, and sterilization is all too rare. The spectacle of walters handling pats of butter with their fingers should be sufficient warning of what goes on further behind the scenes. People would rather not know all about the details, but their imagi- nations should be sufficiently vivid to cause them to demand reformation of the kind suggested by the health com missioner. It is hoped that the an- ticipated reform will be started forth with, and that no considerations of insufficient funds or false economy will be permitted to interfere with thorough job. What too many of our : kitchens and restaurants need is . vigorous housekeeping. With wo- man on the job the people of Birming ham expect a complete overhauling and renovation. No commissioner could make more valuable or more permanent contribution to the public welfare than just along this line.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS

The Mother of James Skinner

Up In the northern part of In- dia there Is great section of land known as Rajputana. the land of the Rajpdts. Some thir- teen million people call themselves by the proud name of Rajput-and that is indeed a proud name in India For untold generations tSe Rajputs have been soldiers holding their heads high. and fearing no man. Their land Is a land Of princes. Practically every person is descended from "a royal family-and every person looks royal. Many a heroic story centers around the Rajputs, and many novel has been written about them.
 One of the true stories of the Rajput blood Is the story of the Dark Eyed Rajput," who mar ried the English officer, Colonel like one of Kipling's own heroes He had advanced far into India at time when India was not q British possession. He was blue eyed and fair, and in appearance quite unlike Rajput He was afraid of no man, and he was born soldier. Light-he earted unabashed, he looked into the eyes of princes. This soldier of fortune saw a Rajput girl of high rank and of unusual beauty. In g moment romance sprang to life and he loved her. It was no easy courting, for such courtshiI meant death perhaps for both. but Colonel Skinner was unafraid--and the girl was Rajput. They were married.

SOLVING COAL HAULAGE

The seasonal warning with refer ence to laying in stocks of winter coal during the summer when the demand is at low point is being extended here and there. This is matter of choice and judgment with the house. holder. He will be governed by prior experience and by that knowledge of the local coal trade which every intel ligent citizen is familiar with. Retail yard dealers will also exercise judg- ment in laying in supplies, being guided by past experience and by the conditions now maintaining and those that appear to be scheduled for au- tumn when they begin to realize on their summer investment. The import ant thing is that the railroad haulage be out of the way this fall. The roads consume thirty-five per cent of the total of coal mined, while here in Alabama the furnaces and steel mills take fifty per cent. The entire com mercial consumption, factory and do- mestic included, is only fifteen per cent, and the domestic alone about five per cent. The coal consumed by the furnaces does not figure commer- cially and is consumed as fast as mined. The furnaces and mills fur nish the greater part of the cars and motive power handling their coal.
 The railroads are the crux of the coal problem. Were their wants out of the way on the approach of the busy haulage season and cold weather, the coal industry could care for the

We have found a solution of the convict-leasing problem. We would parole or pardon the surplus prison CTS. We would also place an em- bargo on the courts for one year, for bidding them to assess any penalty but fines during that time.
 The money from these fines we would pay over quarterly to the firms that have been profiting from the convicts, so that they would not suffer any loss. Any person who failed to pay his fine would be required to make an apology in writing to the firm to which as convict he would have been assigned.
 The legislature should further pass a resolution reprimanding the courts for having filled our prisons to over flowing and thus creating the present convict problem.
 Prisoners not working in state mines O" factories should be required to pay board and room rent.
 All convicts, on their discharge, should be made to promise not to do it again, on penalty of not being re- admitted to the institution for sec ond offense.
 All convicts who have served two or more terms in the penitentiary to be regarded as graduates and not to be re-admitted.
 Other pertinent regulations could be added from time to time, accord ing to conditions.
 We see that they are talking about requiring more sanitary handling of food in Birmingham. All flies admit ted to restaurants should first be made to go through a dipping-vat. Flies from the city dumps should be given precedence over those from other sources. Walters should be re- quired to wipe their hands before picking up butter-pats. Bananas, wa termelons and grapefruit should be protected by netting. Public kitchens should be cleaned twice year. These suggestions may sound unreasonable but the public health comes first.
 Debate-Resolved: That the pedes- trian has no rights. Truck drivers versus joyriders. Both sides will take the affirmative, the winner to be the | one who thinks up the most argu- ments.
