The Cares Of British Office -The cares of office, which Ramsay Mcdonald confessed he found heavy, will soon be shifted to other, but not necessarily stronger, shoulders.-Mo- bile Register. Birmingham Always In Limelight.-Bir- mingham always keeps in the hmelight Since the axe-murders, the park board is furnishing plenty of thrill to the public in the fuss they are having. But, with all that, Birmingham outgrows herself every year. - Lafayette Sun.
 Fort Payne's Growth.-The city census re- veals the fact that Fort Payne has increased it's population over 300 in a years time, and has done this without any big boom but through steady growth. With a few more industries this city would double its popula- tion within short while.-DeKalb County Herald.
 New Trend Of Muscle Shoals Oratory.-- Muscle Shoals bids fair to be the motif. of at least another year of congressional ora tory, and that time will be used by the ferti- lizer trust and other interests, inimicable to the operation of the plant in laying plans to kill it permanently as factor in public well fare.-Ozark Southern Star.
 Whether A Hen Will Lay.-Alabama's poultry specialist, John EI Ivey, can tell. without the assistance of an x-ray, whether a hen is going to lay that day. Granting that there is nothing occult about this busi- ness, we still don't understand how this trick is done unless he can fathom an expression of grim resolve in the hens eye.-Headland Wiregrass Farmer.
 A Courteous Way To Put It-A Birming. ham paper tells us that the Magic City had 137 ,000 inhabitants and 230 policemen iu 1910. Also stated that present population is ,000 and there are only 1S6 regular po- licemen. Appears that the mortals of Bir- mingham must become better the more people they have there. As the population climbs upward the police force, drops downward Opelika News.
 Informing The PeopIe.-The Alabama pub lie service commission has just issued book let giving the rules, regulations and service of electric, gas and water utilities in the state of Alabama, which contains compre- hensive information valuable to all people in communities served by such corporations. The booklet is in the nature of an order, and cstab- fishes service standards, and covers the rela- tions of the public utility to its patrons, in- cluding technical matters, rate information, and other details. Customers of these public utilities, who may consider that they have complaints, will find the facts in the publica- tion of the commission which will show them the correctness or error of their attitude Florence Times.
 Keen The District Moving.-We have everything for the realization of great in- dustrial district and any failure to bring it into being will be the failure of ourselves in making full use of the opportunities presented It is true that we need help, but getting that help is part of our job. And there are many ready and willing to help us if we but let them know that we want them, and the re- wards that we have to offer. The best way to do these things is to keep the district moving. Keep up the gait in construction, work for new industries and extend our civic move ments for just few years and the momentums we will acquire will soon make new develop ments so easy that we will wonder at our own delay in putting such a program into effect Muscle Shoals Sunday News.
