STEEL SHOPS BUSY
 FILLING CONTRACTS

Birmingham structural steel shops are kept busy on work contracted for some time ago and the new business that comes in.
 The Nashville Bridge company has been busy at it's new shop in Bir- mingham since it began operations some time ago. It recently obtained a contract to build the $S4,000 steel bridge over the Warrior at Flat Top and it also has booked bridges for Redwater and Normanna, Tex, and for Robertdale, La. Among fabrl- cated steel contracts is that for the Birmingham auditorium and the fab ricated steel for a Cuban sugar con- denser plant which the Birmingham Machine and Foundry company is equipping.
 The Virginia Bridge and Iron com pany is furnishing the steel for the new Ford Livery on Fifth Avenue and is repairing 400 Seaboard Air Line freight cars. The Ingalls Iron works some time ago obtained con tract for $500 tons of steel for the Texas Sugar Refining company's new plant at Texas City, Tex. This is one of the largest structural steel jobs ever placed in the south.
 Birmingham structural steel Elops are engaged on jobs for practically every southeastern state. Birming- ham steel mills have difficulty in supplying the fabricting plants with their full requirements of steel shapes. HN

CLEANUP BRINGS
 BETTER RESULTS

With over 200 loads, over and above normal, of debris removed by the workers the fourth day of Br- mlngham elean-up week, ended with the city, especially suburban secs tons. looking fresher and heater than for many months,
 It has developed during the week that better results might have been had by putting On tho work in less indictment weather for arduous exer- else, April or May, for Instance, but despite the intense heat that has retarded progress to some extent, both city officials and campaign leaders are nearly satisfied with the results that have been obtained.
 An inspection of downtown alleys which a week ago Birmingham folk talked fast when escorting 8 visitor past, shows most of them to be prac- tlcally spio and span, as far as a back alley can approach that coveted description.
 One of the greater benefits of the campaign, according to officials who have to do with the work regularly, is the exploiting of the necessity for containers and their being kept In proper place and position. Several areas have been reported as being poorly equipped with the necessary cans and other phases of keeping 8 city clean.
 Weeds removed from vacant and occupied premises have filled many of the wagons and numbers of lots because of this part of the work look considerably different, the in spectors say.
 Friday and Saturday, the remain ing days of the campaign, will be devoted to intensive work in sec tions that have not readily responded so far and the effort will be made to have the entire area of Greater Birmin gham, when Sunday comes, cleaner looking and freer from un- slightly garbage than has been the case in years.

Three semi precious Jewels were received at the city hall Thursday morning, gifts to Pres- ident McLenden and L. Fl. Gray secretary of the city commission, They were tokens of gratitude from a woman in Florida, whom Mir. McLendon and MT, Gray be- friended here some months ago,
 The stones, Mir, qray said, were Isis lucky stones, imported from Egypt and are supposed to. bring long life and prosperity to their possessors, Just what they are would be hard to say. They are about tho size, but not the weight. of 2-carat diamond, have the lights of a pale green tourmaline, yet shot through their facets at all angles Is a brownish cloud that moves at the slightest turn of the stone.
 The Florida woman, whose name is withheld by request, came to Birmingham aDout SIX months ago to find her husband. She found him In the 'potter's field" He had died unidentified and In poverty. His widow, un- aware of his circumstances, came to Birmingham to join him. She had no funds. She was middle aged and unskilled in earning her own living. Such temporary help as was available was pro- vided and she was given per- init to solicit aims.
 Her first act was an interview with the Johns Undertaking company. She made arrange ments to have the body of her husband exhumed and taken to cemetery, where it was buried, a mulberry tree for it's headstone. Disinterment revealed that the casket had been taken away. One was provided.

STOLEN FORD CAR
RECOVERED FROM

FORD SEDAN FOUND IN pos
SESSION OF ANDY HOLM WHO
CLAIMS TO HAVE BOUGHT
1T FROM TWO STRANGERS.

On Tuesday of last week, acting on
information from Brakeman Kramer
and the Bowbells IN. d. Sheriff
Salisbury accompanied by Mr.. Kran-
er, went to Medicine Lake and pro-
ceeded to a garage which held Ford
sedan which was at the time under the
ownership of Andy Holm.
Mr.. Kramer examined the car thor
oughly and said it was his car and
that it had been stolen from his home
at Kenmare. The owner of the car
said he was a brakeman on the 500
Line and had heard that a Ford Sedan
had recently. been sold in Medicine
Lake and having had his Ford Sedan
stolen a few days previous immedi-
ately got busy on the trail of the auto.
After identifying the car, Sheriff
Salisbury informed Andy Holm that
he had a stolen car in his possession
The latter gentlemena made no pro-
test about giving up the car merely
stating that he had bought the ma
chine from two strangers a few days
previous at Medicine Lake. The num-
bers on the car were tampered with
and it was very evident that the
car had been stolen after an investiga-
tion had been made.
Mr.. Kramer took the car back with
him, very much delighted in the fact
that he had recovered his Sedan.

PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE
OF GAMBLING AND PAYS S1OO
FINE IN JUDGE OLSON'S
COURT.

After hearing several rumOrs come
in from the city of Westby to the
effect that gambling was being engag-
ed in by different ones in that city,
Sheriff Salisbury dispatched Under
Sheriff Aldrich to that town to look
the matter up.
In accordance with the plans laid
out by the Sheriff's office Mr.. AldGch
appeared in Westby on the evening
of November 8th and walked into the
pool hall which is run by Henry
Skeels and seeing a rather interested
group in the back of the pool room
walked back to the center of interest
and found full fedged game in ex-
istence. Deputy Aldrich Immediately
broke up the game and informed Mr..
Skeels that he would be required to
make his appearance at the Sheriff S
office the next day.
On arriving in Plentywood he was
brought up before Judge Olson, where
he plead guilty to the charge of
running a gambling game and was
fined $100 which he paid.
1t is reported that Mr.. Skeels in
formed the officers of the law that he
was only running quiet business
mans game, but that did not seem to
have much weight with the stern Of
ficer of the law.

Sheridan County sent down 100 corn

The fact that Sheridan County dis
plaved over 1000 ears of excellent corn
at the best corn show ever held in the
State proved to the large numbers OF
