Br'er Rabbit is stacking, and the egg market is bearish.
 Commission merchants Thursday ex- pressed some concern regarding the light trade in by-products of the hen indus try. Here it was three days before the W. k. Eastertide which should be the merriest time of all the merry year in the business, and yet the balance sheet looked like the Alabama Power company's initial bid for Muscle Shoals.
 So they jumped on Br'er Rabbit.
 The practice of egg-hunts with the sure-enough article has decreased 90 per cent in the last few years," one of the Tackle Kings declared. "The rabbit has pulled a Secretary of the Interior on the greatest friend he ever had. For years he took the credit for the egg stuff and now he's deserting her for the candy brand.
 Real Kick Gone
 'Oh, we'll" he sighed speculatively and, putting an extra, extra fresh in with some mere plebian extra fresh CTS, T guess it's a sign of the times The majority of the people are too busy to spend few innocent hours colorine up eggs. And they've taken the real kick out of Easter ceremonies"
 But even leaving the colored idea out of the question altogether merchants

Egg Market Causes Runpus
 Among Bears; Easter Near
Commission Merchants Reported Trying To Sel
 Eggs Back To Hens As Trade Hits Slump

roughly figure they should sell 3I6.S05 eggs during the Easter weekend, which runs from now until then. but so far sales have not been so good.
 There is yet another great fault with Easter this year, so far as the com, mission merchants are concerned. It comes too late. Normally when the date falls in March the people just nat urally have to depend on them for their ham and, etc. but this year every old hen in the country is becoming nightly active. A large majority of the eggs will be furnished by neighbor- ing farmers and individual chicken lots.
 Bears In Rumpus
 Q. E. D. The bears are holding. a rumpus over the egg market.
 Later bulletin-The egg market after shimmying between 24.346 and 24.67a per F. came to an abrupt stop at 24.417 late yesterday afternoon. Shorts were gleeful and one merchant was re- ported attempting to sell his supplies back to the hens.
 Much later bulletin-The body of an aged peddler was found brutally muti- lated along Morris avenue late last night. Although the report has mol been confirmed, it was rumored tha, he had offered to sell two produce mer an egg plant.

Resolution Passed Al Community Luncheon
 Backing U, s. Stand

The Community club, at its luncheon Thursday, went on record as indors- ing with hearty approval the recent &C., tion of the United States Senate rela- tive to the exclusion of the Japanese"
 This action was taken in the adoption of a resolution submitted by Edmund c. Armes.

 As guests at the luncheon, the club entertained Phelps Crum and H. H. Hadley, who are here in the interest of the Mercer-Hadley Mission, and Dr. Milton F. Barnwell.
 Every man has two selves" said Mir. Crum in a short address, ''one which is striving for the material things of life and the other for happiness. A man may find happiness in following the rules of Christianity"
 Action Delayed
 Under business transacted, the club, on the motion of Rowan Oden, decided to delay action on the recommendat tion of the inter-club council that they sup port building of court house on the new site indefinitely, or until after the organization had heard T. k. Huey member of the board of revenue, who has offered to address the club on the matter.

 The commission also has the duty of fixing the assessments on all corpora ton property, as law passed by the state legislature at its last session re- moves these assessments from the !iuris- diction of the tax assessor. Formerly

First Case Against Birmingham Flee
 tric Company Filed
 Miss Lee Cox Thursday filed the first suit for damages against the Bir- mingham Electric company since Its purchase of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company,
 The suit was for $500 for injuries alleged to have been received when leav.. ing Il street car at Eighth avenue and Nineteenth street, but consent Judg- ment of $200 was agreed upon imme- diately after the filing of the suit.
 Miss Coxs injuries are said to have been received prior to the purchase of the street car company, and the receivers for the old company were made co-defendants to the suit.
 corporation assessments were handled through him in the same manner as other assessments.
 Jefferson county taxpayers have co-operated with the commission, and less than two per cent have objected to the assessments fixed, Judge Herz- berg said. He added that it was the policy of the commission to equalize the tax burden and require every per son to pay his share, rather than to make a general increase in assessments. After the final assessments are an. nounced in June by the local board of review, both the taxpayer and the tax commission have the right to appeal to the circuit court for changes.
