Federation Officials Lose no Time
in Getting Plan for 1928
Under Way.

Initial steps to carry out the
1923 Agricultural Program for
Minnesota, adopted by the recent
annual convention of the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation,
were taken last week by officers
of the association. Essentials of
the plan, including demands that
cooperative marketing be ex-
tended, that prices for farm pro-
ducts be stabilized and that
farmers be given government aid
in e-establishing foreign outlets
for crop surpluses, were present
ed to and adopted by a banker

The meeting, called by the
Minnesota Farm Bureau and the
Minnesota Bankers association
laid plans for the organization oi
a joint council of farmers ano
bankers to study agricultural
problems of the state. The coun
Gil will be made up of man from

An important phase of the con

concentrations of better financ-
ing service needed by co-opera-
tive selling agencies in the state.
J. F. Reed, president of the Fed
Grafton, told the bankers that
they must take a different atti-
tude toward these organizations
and give the farmer companies
such favorable consideration as
they merited, not only for the
good of the banking business but
for the good of the public, as
well. He reiterated statements
made at the recent Farm Bureau
convention to the effect that too
many bankers were inclined to
hinder, rather than help cooper
atives, because they were timid
and afraid of change in, exist
ing conditions.
The conference recommended
reduction in tariff rates, en-
larged bank discount facilities for
the Northwest, reduction of
taxes, better transportation and
distribution arrangements and
condemnation of further is
suance of tax-free securities.

cI1Y COMMISSION LAGS

An additional reason for compelling complianse on part of the railroads with Birmingham subway and via duct buit ding schedule lies in the mum bers of streets that are absolutely Closed to traffic by the railroads. In the eleven blocks from Fourteenth to Twenty-fourth streets there are five north-and-south thoroughfares that end at the railroads. They are Eff teenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Nine teenth and Twenty-third streets. In less than a mile here are five closed highways, around which travel to the south and to the north must veer from one to three blocks in order to reach dektination. Of these eleven streets five are cut off at the railroads and by Athe railroads.
 t is difficult to explain the delays in the viaduct and subway plans ex- cept on the principle that those who cause the delays are indifferent to the interests of the city of Birmingham and more or less unmindful of what Birmingham is, has been and will be to them. Leaving out of considera- tion entirely the rights of the city to enforce the elimination of the grade crossings, the welfare of the railroads themselves counsels elimination of inn .portant crossings. If the railroads cannot or will not see this, what re- strains the city commission from act ing at once as it is fully warranted both in law and by public interest to act? It is of no use to upbraid the railroads, when the city commission possesses the remedy and the author ity to apply it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-16
FOREHANDED RAILROADING

One of the most satisfying features of American business today is the ef- ficiency with which the railroads are moving fItight. They have been and are moving it promptly, although the se. ,me has been at the maximum and so1ne new records have been made. TN e railroads, having done well so far thts year, seem to be bent on main taining their fine record. Some time ago they issued a notice stating that they intended having a large storage of coal and a maximum number of fit cars and locomotives ready for the heavy business expected this fall. The Illinois Central gives the reassur- ing information that it is storing coal at rate that promises total of one million tons in it's bins by September 1, by which time it expects the crops to begin to move and heavy traffic to be offered.
 The Illinois Central shows the mod ern spirit of efficiency in piling up this coal and having it's cars and en- zines released for revenue freight. It is also consideration for the public, because, by furnishing the maximum amount of cars, business will move much more smoothly. Whatever is intrinsically sound works out we'll for all. The railroad will benefit from in creased revenue-p producing business, and the public will benefit from prompt movement of it's products. The large shippers have part to per form as we'll as the railroads. There are many instances where the large commercial coal consumer can lay in his coal advantageously now, and there are shippers of heavy products, such as sand, gravel cement and the like, who may also find it of profit to get a portion of their shipments out of the way before the all-around car demand sets in. The one sure thing is that he who waits on transportation until the last moment usually finds himself scrambling for cars no matter what the general car situation. In the matter of coal it is also to be borne in mind that a comfortable supply in storage is always the best preventive of the high prices and other inconven- fences attending troubles in the coa, field

 PROGRESS IN SAVING GAME

The Fishermen and Hunters Asso- citation of Tuscaloosa county, with a membership of seventy and steadily increasing roster, is preparing to throw it's active influence and efforts into the movement for the enactment of more effective laws for conservation of fish and game, and will strongly support the law for closed season during the spawning of fish, license for trapping, and the prevention of dynamiting and seining. Albany-De- catur, Selma, Montgomery, Anniston, Gadsden, Huntsville and many other places in the state with fishing and hunting clubs and with extensive mem- bership, are in hearty sympathy with the conservation plan, including the enactment and enforcement of more effective laws for propagation and protection. All over the state the movement is growing in strength. There are more than three thousand
 hermen and hunters devoting time

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
The Mother Of Richard Hoffman

Richard Hoffman was one of the most distinguished of modern mu- sicians. His work made deep impression on the world of music, both for its power and it's deli cacy. It certainly cannot be said that he inherited his love of mu- sic from his mother. His father was man who devoted himself whole -heartedly to music. To him there was but one world, and that was the world of music. Music was his other soul. Tn it he found life, joy, rest-in fact, all that gave him pleasure.
 This devoted lover of music be- came the father of nine children It was his ambition to train them all into love of music that should equal, or perhaps excel, his own One by one, as the children grew into suitable ages, the father took them in hand and taught them. To his delight every child inner tied his passion for his art. They took to the study of music as a brood of ducks take to the water There was no need of urging. Thus Richard Hoffman was only . years old when he was really an accom- plished player. delighting all who heard him. That was indeed a triumph for the father. The moth CT was a Miss Harries. She might almost be called mermaid-for she was so closely connected with the sea! Her father was a lieu tenant in the navy, and so she had been brought up to hear of ships and of the sea. Her brother, also, was in the navy yard at Ports- mouth, and there she went fre- quently to see him. In her na- ture there was something so gen. tie, so retiring, so shy and modest and sweet, that she, a music lover herself. was the soul of poetry. With his fathers great passion for music, and his mothers sweetness of character. Richard Hoffman went out into the world, and made success.
