LAST IF MARKET EQU|PM TENT HERE
Lane Has Not Given Up Hope Of Opening New Build
 ing August i

More than thirty of the refrigera- tor showcases for the municipal market building and installing them begins at once. More than $10,0o0 is represented in their cost.
 The arrival of the showcases com pletes the assemblying of all equip ment for the market. Installing the cases, some more painting and ad- justment of the shelves where the big square stalls have been divided In parts for more than one tenant, are all that remain to complete the plant for business use. W. D. Lane. market master, Tuesday morning said the authorities had not lost hope of an August 1 opening, but it might take few days longer
 throughout the day. An official re- port Tuesday was to the effect that 1t was satisfactory in every particular. Particular attention is being paid to this part of the equipment, as all refrigeration in the building will be by means of salt water at a low pipe system in the counters and cases. With the enormous amount of perishables dependent on the sys- tenn, to involve a constant great in- vestment, every effort Is being made to make sure of it's functioning.
 Provisions of the concession agree ments the city enters with those oc- cupying the stalls. that the agree- ment is only for a thirty-d day period, have not brought any objections. for the lessees can move out In month If they are not satisfied. or the city can eject undesirableS.
 Of all the great space the market affords, but seven stalls are yet oper to lessees, three dairy stalls. three grocery stalls and one bakery stall Other space has been signed for.

The public hearing on the bill will take place at o'clock Wednesday after noon.
 The committee from Ensley is fac ing the situation absolutely un- afraid of the outcome, 1t is stated. They have advices from Montgomery that lead them to think Senator bill stormy. There is general be- lief in Ensley that the Ensley steel works and the Solvay properties VIII not be taken into BirmiE gham, there to be subjected to police interference in the conduct of those properties. That belief has lead to the minimum of apprehension here regarding the future of the steel works. It is be- lieved that should the measure pass the Tennessee company would view the situation as an unfriendly act and lead to a deplorable situation. IL Is believed that rather than submit to the aleged tyranny of municipal interference the company would seri- ously consider making it's future vast development where it would De free to conduct its affairs as IL thought best.
 In this connection 1t may pc sus- rested that Ensley is stated to un- derstand perfectly the position taken by the city of Fairfield in the annex action plans.

A LITTLE RIDDLE

If you have saved all you earn, you're miser. If you have spent all you earn, you're a fool. If you lose it, you're out If you owe it, they are al ways after you. If you lend it, you're always after them. It's the cause Of evil It's the cause of good. It's the cause of sorrow. It's the cause of happiness. If the government makes it, it's all right, if you make it, it's all wrong. As rule, it's hard to get. But it's pretty soft when you get it. It talks! To some it says i've come to stay" To others it whispers, "Good- bye" What is it?
 So live that it will never be neces- sary to send your influential friends around to newspapers to keep out the sordid details.
 When buying that collar or hat, it's we'll to remember that the good look ing face in the ad doesn't go with it.
 Envy the industry of the foreigner who wrote home saying: They give away money in America. All l have 1 to do is carry some bricks up four teen stories. The men up there do all the work.
 The best thing about telling the truth is you don't have to remember what you said.
 AND IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING Who was this wild and winsome coot That make poor Adam pull the boot And taste of that forbidden fruit?
 A Flapper. This Cleopatra maiden fair For whom great Caesar tore his hair Who was this vamp so debonair? A Flapper. Who was this boddy called Salome That. robbed John Baptist of his dome, The one that made mere man leave home?
 A Flapper. Who is it now that flashes by With scanty clothes and dropping eye For whom some sap would gladly die?
 A Flapper. Who is it spends their hard-earned
 kale? ...... Who makes this plant woeful tale! Who is more deadly than the male?
 A Flapper.
 Did you ever stop to figure out just how terrible 1t would be to live in city where natural gas was among "those absent" from the list of modern conveniences?
