CHILD IS TO CHOOSE HER FUTURE MOTHER
Girl To Decide Between Woman Who Bore Her and Foster Parent

CHICAGO, April 24.-Beatrice Nut tall, pretty 12-year-old girl, born out of wedlock, today was asked to choose between the mother who bore her and the mother who fostered her since infancy.
 Twelve years ago. Miss Ada Schultz, then but 16 years old. and living in Sterling. III. was to be- come a mother, she admits In the court records.
 Her parents, feeling keenly the dis grace, arranged to have the child snatched from it's mother at the min ute of birth and placed in a chill dren's home. A week later it was adopted by James Nuttall. a Wauke- gan post office clerk, and his wife. The baby was given a name and reared by the family as their own child.
 Soon following birth of the baby, Miss Schultz married and now is liv- ing under the name of Mrs. Ada $. Morris.
 Mrs. Morris taveled through many states searching for her child and never has given up hope of recover ing it.
 T felt no shame of my own flesh and blood and would have protested the adoption of my baby had l known of it." she told the court
 The court ordered the foster pa rents to produce the child in court and the wishes of the girl will be consulted in choosing her future mother Beatrice will be informed in court for the first time of the cir cumstances of her birth.

 Wants Growth Obstacles Out.
 Birmingham is going ahead now to it's greater development. Any undesirable obstacle in it's path must be eliminated, if the elimination can be done fairly. The jitneys, though admittedly. in some instances, con ,enience, cannot, in the last andy sis, offer any better service than the street cars and they have proven in no measure so good. A year or so ago they were a godsend to men out of employment. Today there is hardly an instance where the jitney driver cannot make as much or more 1t something else. It seems to me it is the proper time for taking the jitneys off the streets and l want to see the city take that stand The street cars are safer, surer and more comfortable. There is scant room for argument regarding the service rendered.
 Another point that must be con- sidered is the great sums of money the street car company has spent for permanent Improvements. They have paid much for street surfacing in practically all parts of town, their only return on the investment being improvement of neighborhoods that make for more passengers. Is it just that others step in, without any of this expense, and reap the reward :?

PLAN BIG COTTON CROP
More Fertilizer, Mules And Imple-

More Fertilizer, Mules And Imple-
 ments Sold Than Ever Before
 TROY, Ala. April 24.-(Special Leased Wire.)-That more cotton will be raised in this section this year than since the advent of the boil weevil is generally conceded by all authorities. The acreage will be in creased and some say the increase will be as much as 40 per cent and intensive cultivation will enlarge the yield per acre. More farming imple- ments, mules and fertilizers have been sold this spring than ever be- fore. which indicates that the farm CTS are in earnest about increasing their yields.
 The crops have been delayed by the rains and cool weather, but the farm CTS had an early start and the work Is not far behind. . The local com press, under the management of R. D. Clarke, Is preparing tC handle the biggest cotton crop since 1914. In 1921 the Troy compress pressed 22,s52 bales of cotton and about 1,050 bales were shipped away without being pressed. In 1922 up to the present date 21,27s bales have been pressed. but this does not represent the en- tire crop as more will be pressed later; HOO bales were shipped with out being pressed

Every visitor coming to Bir mingham, every prospective factory for the city Is at once made aware that our most obvious public utility Is in the hands of the receiver. That cannot but react to the city's great discredit. It Is an unnecessary con- dition. These facts alone are req son enough for the city to take a definite stand and settle the matter once for all.
 T am not aware of any city in the south whose suburban area is so thoroughly served by street cars and this fact has had a large share in the growth of many fine sections of greater Birmingham. In most cities the realty owners are plead ing for cars so they can develop. here the cars have preceded realty development by many years.
