DRY are staples in the lumber trade.
In minerals Arkansas is equally well
found. It produces coal, lead, bauxite,
phosphate rock, oil stones, granite,
limestone and building clays. One of
the sensational oil fields of the south
west. the Smackover-El Dorado field,
lies in Southern Arkansas. And Ar
kansas is the only diamond producing
state in the union.
The Bear state contains another re-
source that annually draws many thou
sands Of tourists thither-the famous
Hot Springs. These are government
property, and the Department Of the
Interior has Just commissioned leading
members of the medical profession to
make an exhaustive inquiry into the
therapeutic value of the waters.
Some time ago the state rose in
righteous wrath against published re-
ports of widespread illiteracy. The
1920 census gives the lie to these sland,
ers. Arkansas Is one Of the most liter
ate states in the south, its illiteracy
rating standing at 90 per cent, as
against per cent for the country at
large. or late Arkansas has been
spending money too lavishly to suit
many of its citizens. But the good
roads programme, like this publicity
tour, proves that the state is alert to
progress.

JEFFERSON PLAY
 IS RIOT OF FUN
Bringing Up Father In Ireland To Open
 Tonight

Bringing Up Father In Ireland" is the latest George McManus "laugh- phest" coming to the Jefferson theater for an engagement of three nights com mencing tonight with matinee Saturday. "Jiggs and Maggie" pay visit to thei. native soil. They left ''the old sod" when quite small, and it is confidential ly said that Maggie was then what is termed an ordinary "kitchen mechanic" and "Jiggs" was admittedly a 'hod car rier." Their return as scions of DO lite society naturally incites much na- tionaI interest, in the land of St. Pat rick. Maggie, will naturally assume charge of the tour, and will be backed by an entire new stock of rolling pins" for emergencies.

THE BIRMINGHAM AGE
PLANS ARE MADE
 FOR POPPY SALE
Funds Used For Work Among Former Sol
 diers In Hospital.

Arrangements have been completed for the annual Poppy" sale on Armistice Day by the American Legion auxiliary, it was announced Wednesday by Miss Emily R. Mcbride, secretary of the 0. -anization.
 The red flowers, symbolic of the American boys who did not return from the fields of Flanders, are sold an- nually by the auxiliary to obtain money to be used in welfare work among former soldiers in hospitals and in Americanization work.
 All women who are desirous in aid- ing the work, whether they had rela- tives in the war, are asked to call Mrs. V. Laurell, at Main 221. More than POO women already have signified their intention of selling poppies and as many more are needed, Mrs. Laurell stated.
 Every article displayed at the auxil- iary booth at the Manufacturers and Housewives exhibit at the auditorium last week was sold, Miss Mcbride an- nounced. There were more than 100 articles on display, consisting. mostly of baskets, trays, rugs and beaded work. They were made by former soldiers who are being treated for mental af- flictions due to war service.
 In addition between 500 and 600 Bir- mingham women, who had husbands, brothers, sons or relatives in service, registered at the booth, according to Miss Mcbride.

BIRMINGHAM DUO
 AT LYRIC TODAY

Headed by one of the most elaborate acts on the circuit and in which two Birmingham girls will be seen, the bill which opens at the Lyric this afternoon promises a wealth of entertainment to its patrons. The five acts of big-time Keith vaudeville contain all the in. gredients which make for diversion and the bill has that essential thing known as balance.
 Bobby Heath's Revue, "Hits and Bits of Vaudeville" is the headliner. Bir- mingham will see two of its own girls, Misses Emma and Sarah Ba(Sam, who take a big part in the song and dance and comedy entertainment the act pro- vides. They were both prominent in amateur circles here before they took up the stage professionally.
 For an added attraction there is an act of a different sort presented by George E. Pensee and Florence Baird under the title of "Songiflage." Songs and comedy are the thing in this nnm- Der, including American and Scotch melodies and fun that is entirely in Il class by itself.
 The special feature brings Mattylee Lippard in her "Song Cycle with Trim mings." A song is what the singer makes it, and Miss Lippard is said to make her songs different. She is at- traetive and she has a manner of sing ing her numbers that give them the stamp of individuality, critics say.
 To round out the bill there are two other good acts, Harry Watkins, who presents "Grotesque Conversation" and Ernie Gold and Grace Sunshine in "An Oriental Rhapsody"
 Oriental RhnasodY."

 The Age-Herald dosen't attempt an explanation of the story or how it originated. None of the accredited news gathering agencies, however, seem to be responsible. The fact remains that never, since the discovery of the float ing bar off the coast of New York city has elusive or fanciful work of the imagination been palmed off on the great American public.
 Copies of the paper were brought to The Age-Herald office by H. o. Der nard, secretary-treasurer of the South eastern Pipe and Founday Co.,, whose brother in Los Angeles was anviously awaiting letter from relatives here.

EXPECT ADVANCE IN STEEL PRlCE|
 OVER THE SOUTH.
McQueen In New York On Proposed Sloss-Alabama
 Merger

Local steel makers expect an advance in steel quotations during the next few days following similar move which has been recorded in the eastern mark cts. The election being past and the feeling being general that the country is destined for a long, uninterrupted era of prosperity is one of the con tributing factors it is said. Another IS the fact that the sales forces of most companies have been able to erect a sales structure which is expected to be permanent following elimination of the confusion of the Pittsburg plus deei ion. This sales structure is said to give some advantages to all districts out side of Chicago and particularly inter- esting advantages to the Chicago dis trict.
 In Birmingham advances are expected in the products of the companies en- gagged in manufacture other than steel rail. The latter is in class by itself and is subject to revision of various kinds, depending upon specifications, it is pointed out. The advance in the iron market and similar advance in steel has created the feeling that unusually interesting transaction are eminent.
