(state Capital Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 9.- Alabama farmers have little more than held their own in the matter of
 attempted operations this year, accord ing to the annual crop acreage issued Wednesday by F. W. Gist, agricultur- al statistician, on confirmation of es- inmates from the Washington office of the federal crop reporting service. Ac- cofding to this report the acreage of all lands in farms in this state is about one-half of one per cent greater than last year; the acreage planted to the principal field crops is about four
 tenths of one per cent greater the to-

 40 per cent greater and the total crop

savings of industry or the profits from trade. Speaking as mathematical for mula--savings deposits are to people of small means what net profits are to in, dustry and trade. They represent what the working man and the salaried em. ploye have been able to set aside, over and above their living expenses.
 The fact that savings during the past year have increased faster than the country's population is especially i'm portant as refuting statements fre- quently made that people are spending more for pleasure than they can afford to. Then, too, increased savings de posits have come in the face of rap idly growing tendency on the part of employees in many industries to pur- chase stock in the organizations for which they work. f

ONLY FEW DAYS q TO SEE tDADDIES BelascO's Great Play Will Be Shown Through
 Saturday

"Daddies" is one of the greatest comedies the American stage has ever produced and the finest thing the aH- star Jefferson Players has done. This is what everyone says who has seen and thereby enjoyed this striking Belasco success which is being offered all this week.
 Human, appealing and delicious in it's humor are some of the things which may be said about "Daddies% and it. forms the finest sort of vehicle for tie talented members of the All-Star PlaS-s CTS. Arthur Byron, who long ago de- monstrated to Birmingham theatre goers that he is a comedian in a class by himself, has one of the finest roles as a crusty and lovable bachelor. '
 Miss Kathleen Comesys makes Ruth . one of the most appealing girls of "a generation. The roles portrayed by De forrest Dawley, Bernard Nedell, Miss Tamzon Manker, Miss Helen Ray, Hal Crane, Peter Butters,I Miss Marion : Evenson and George Westlake are all that could be desired. Az
 Then there are the five kiddies wh0' are delightful in their naturalness and } their cleverness in handling the parEsz assigned them. 'Daddies" will be pre- sented through Saturday only.

A N eminent exponent of the Great "A American Game condenses his
 theory of baseball into one pithy phrase, "Tn always batting 'em where the other fellow ain't." Some men ap- ply this idea to their sporting turn out-they are always wearing styles that the other fellow ain't. Individual ity in dress is desirable, even admir- able, provided that it is kept within bounds by good taste and the fitness of things. Merely dressing differently from ones fellows to show superior style knowledge, regardless of whether the fashion is becoming to the iridi- viduai, proclaims the wearer a man who, in high-Bfow ';utters platitudes in stained glass attitudes" and who, in lowbrow, is ''stuck on himself"

GOES 10 DEATH IN
 THE NIAGARA RIVER
Rescued Rum Runner Says
 Brother Was Drowned

Buffalo, Nov. 29--Federai authori- ties today were checking up report that an alleged rum runner was drowned in the Niagara river yester- day in the storm that swept the Mia gara frontier and lake section.
 A man whose name, the authori- ,ties said, was Smith, drifted ashore on an overturned rowboat at "Fal- conwood" the estate Of Edwin A. Klopp, on Grand island. He said he had hung to the boat for nearly three hours, but that his brother, a former bartender Of the Buffalo west side. had become exhausted and slip ped into the water only few min Iutes before the little craft was wash 'od ashore.
 According to Smiths story, the federal agents said, he and his brother had set out Thursday night from Frenchman's creek, on the Canadian side of the river, in the ,rowboat with IS cases Of whiskey. After they had pushed off toward Grand island a heavy storm began. In their efforts to prevent the boats overturning they lost their oars and Idrifted hclplessly before the blast in shallow but rough patch of water known as the Devils Half Acre. The boat shipped water and they started to jettison the whiskey, but in their efforts they overturned their craft.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, Nov. 29.--With regard 10 the conversations in Washington be- tween Ambassador Jusserand and Secretary Mellon on the subject of the French debt it was stated in Of flcial quarters today that Premier Herriot, ever since he took office, has believed that some arrangement for q settlement with the United States should be reached. The diff culty in his mind and in the minds of his associates has been largely as to the method Of approach.
 It was provisionally decided al one time that Finance Minister Clemen- tel should 20 to Washington next spring 0 deal with the negotiations, but this idea Was abandoned about two weeks ago, The principal req son, it appears, was the belief it would be better for the finance min ister to remain in Paris where he could consult with the premier and his other colleagues upon the devel- oplng phases ot the problem instea 1 Of going to Washington where he might be expected to make instant decisions.
 It also has been thought that the question could most conveniently be opened by the American doht fund ing commission through diplomatic channels N. JueSsrand's ronversa tions with the American secretary of the treasury wore in conformity with this policy

PLAN REFUNDING OF FRENCH DEBT
Conference Arranged by Mellon
 for December 1

Washington, Nov. 99.--Informal exchanges looking 10 retundng settlement of the French debt to the United States have progressed to the point where the matter will be laid before the full membership Of the American debt commission for dis cussion at meeting called here for December 1.
 Secretary Mellon called the meet ing of the commission yesterday shortly after 1t had become known that they had held a series of lngor- maj conferences recently with Am bassador Juaserand on the subject of his governments wartime obliga- tons 10 the United States. which ranks second.in in amount 10 the Brit ish dcbt already refunded.
 The result Of these conversations, to guide the commission in its dis Cussion of the matter, is understood 10 be chiefly in the nature of a clar- Incation of the fiscal position of the French govfrnmont in its bearing on a possible basis for formal negotia- tons. While the commission at this meeting, the first in six months, is expected to do little more in regard 10 the French debt than go over the situation in the light of the recent conversationions, 1t is believed these eventually will lead to tangible re- suits.
 Although the belief was nlicat- cd in some quarters that the meeting of the commission might develop some definite statement of American policy in dealing with the French debt, the fact was not lost sight of that congress must be the ultimate authority in putting any settlement policy into effect. Similarly, Mr. Mel Ions discussions with Ambassador Juaserand are unders' ood to have heen merely informative as 10 broad possibilities from the American view rather than an approach to any defi- nite terms,
 IL is assumed such views were sought by NJ. Jusscrand in order that he might lay them before his gov ernment when he returns 10 Paris in January To retire from the diplo- matic service.
