The park commission had planned to sell only 100 papels at this rate, and it was first thought that the large corporations and com panies would be included. It has been found. however, that the s5.o0o can be raised in this way from in. dividuals, and the commission will not call upon the larger companies until they are ready to begin con- struction of a swimming pool and other recreational features in con- nection with the park.
 The canvassing committee was composed of John Snider, Ellis Hous- ton, L. s. Moorer, E. R. Smith and Arthur Jacobs. The new city park is located on Hall avenue and Four teenth street, and when completed will be one of the largest and most complete municipal playgrounds in the state.

SOUTHERN MONEY

Railway Development DeIe' gates Talk Of Utilizing
 Available Assets

The fifth annual meeting of the Railway Development Association Of the Southeast opened Wednesday morning in the Tutwiler hotel. H. J. Schwietert, general development agent of the Illinois Central system, from Chicago. president of the as- sociation. presided.
 The president outlined briefly the possibilities for development through the Southern states. He urged that serious thought be given the prob lems and active, definite assistance offered. The railroads must be fac tors not only to the agricultural bet torment of the South, but they must. through their development depart ments, increase the number of suc- cessful industries located in the Southeast territory.
 "The time is here when Southern cotton should not go to the North Atlantic states to be manufactured into cloth for Southern people," MT. Schwietert said. "Use the potential resources of the South. encourage To- cation of these mills where their raw products are produced. Keep the tabor busy in the South. Money will do the most good where most used; let 1t be circulated in the south.
 "Dairying, the salvation of the farmer, needs no introduction, Suf- flee it to say, development men or the railroads should be giving the their lines on<which future prosper ity depends. Whether it be pure bred sires, better cows, improved barns, or home feed production, make the work count; stick by until the results stand out"
 Poultry Work.
 John Rigdon, agricultural agent of the Central of Georgia railroad, spoke on poultry development along his line. Following the talk a short outline of practical means of reacn- ing the farmers in poultry develop ment was given by Casey Smith, or the Illinois Central lines.
 Miss See Rice, extension poultry worker of Mississippi college, spoke on methods of undertaking poultry work among the farm wmen and girls. Miss Rice told of her success ful methods of increasing and im- proving the farm poultry flocks. Miss Rice was accorded high nom OrS Tn poultry WOTk III SoIACiA ohA versity last year.
 Exhibits were shown of improved methods of raising cotton under boil weevil conditions. and actual farm figures showing how dairying com pares with other systems of farming, such as wheat in the North; corn and cotton in the South. One man made s179. net from one acre of cotton. Another made as much from one COW as he did from 2S acres of cotton, were instances to which attention was drawn.

 Local Department
BESSEMER BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD ! Bessemer, Ala, Jan. 9

Construction in the near future of a new addition to the Bessemer post office will be advocated by Senator Oscar Underwood and Congressman George Huddleston, according to pos tai officials and members of the Chamber of Commerce, who have been pushing a-request for an addi- tional building. The Bessemer office has outgrown the present building. which was erected in 1909, and the lack of space is hampering the serv- ice here. according to Postmaster J. c. McEniry.
 Congressman Huddleston has off, fered to call the matter to the at- tention of the proper committee in of the movement here are using their influence to secure an investigation by officials of the treasury and post office department, with a view to securing a favorable report.
 Some of those who have been aid- ing in the move are of the opinion that the department will favor the erection of an annex to.cost at least $15e.000 because of the rapid growth of the sections served.
 In case the department agrees to construct a large annex, it is be- lieved that they can be prevailed upon to erect a temporary wooden structure on the grounds to take care of the overflow of mail until the an nex can be completed
 Shortly after the Bessemer office was built the parcel post was estab- lished. and this with the steady growth of other classes of mail, has crowded the present building to the point where it is interfering with the service.

Foot Ball in Silence.

Tomorrow foot ball game at Ithaca
between Cornell and Columbia will be
one of the strangest contests ever
played on the gridiron. 1t will be vir-
tually a game in silence. Out of re-
spect for the memory of the late coach
Of the Columbia team, Percy Haugh-
ton, the Columbia students have voted
to abstain from cheering, and the
Cornell students have in courtesy and
sympathy followed suit, SO that there
will be no organized cheers for the
rival teams. Possibly the spectators
may so far react to the emotional ex-
citement Of the contest as to let loose
a few yells, but even this is doubtful.
A silent foot ball game will be, in
deed, a novelty, just as would silent
base ball game. 1t is practically i'm
possible to imagine, for instance, one
of the world series contests recently
played in this city conducted from
start to finish without any more noise
than the calls of the umpires and the
coaches. Yet If the Cornell Columbia
game is played according to present
plans it will present virtually that
same spectacle of silent struggle.

Nick and Fauntleroy.

Two American authors, each famed
for a hero personifying diametrically
opposite schools of literature, died
Wednesday. They were Frances
Hodgson Burnett, creator of Little
Lord Fauntleroy, and Eugene T.
Sawyer, .one Of the collaborators on
the famous and never ending Nick
Carter series.
Many a two-flsted, bull-necked man,
today in his roaring 40s," when a
freckled tad wore velvet knickers and
lace collar. The same lad thrilled
surreptitiously to the violent deeds
and forceful, although pure, language
Of Young Nick. His mother dotted on
the little lord and tried to make her
son resemble him. The boy adored
Nick, whose blood-curdling experiences
were numerous enough to have made
adventurous the lives Of a hundred
youths.
The boy probably loathed not only
his clothes but the character who
made them popular. There is no
doubt that Nick was f1awless in his
way, but who if he rereads the story
on which Mrs. Burnett's fame is
largely founded can fail to admit that
Cedric, too, was a regular guy and
that his mother, like most mothers,
was a good scout?

Getting Mamma" to the Polls.

A bit Of excitement has been created
in New York, where the campaign
has been more than usually dull this
year, by the discovery Of an attempt
to circularize the public school chill
dren of certain district in the inter
est Of the Democratic candidate for
Congress. The circufa,S that have
been distributed among the children
offer money prizes to those who will
give "the best answer to Why my
mother is going to vote for Sol
Bloom" Prizes are mentioned as SIS,
IS and 81. This reference to money,
it is claimed, is being interpreted by
some Of the foreign-born mothers of
prices, and the district is a-buzz with
discussions in more or less Anglicized
speech on the variation from the lower
to the higher price. Meanwhile, the
school authorities are highly indignant
and are investigating, while, of course,
the Republican campaign managers
are talking about prosecutions under
the corrupt practices act. The circu-
lars have been distributed both inside
of the school buildings and outside
Of them by men who have handed
them to the children.
This is carrying the school essay
propaganda business pretty far. 1t
has been used for all sorts of pur-
poses, some good and some question
able. Mainly, the objects Of these
enlistments Of the pupils in literary
endeavor have been entirely whole
some; in fact, have made for better
education and better citizenship. But
there is a limit, and it would seem
that this enterprise of the friends
and supporters of the Hon. Sol Bloom
have passed 1t in this endeavor to put
him across.

one end, or perhaps a smaller pool at

one end, or perhaps a smaller pool at
each end.
As regards width the dimensions are
not so favorable. The present width
at the bottom is 287 feet. A foot ball
field must be 100 feet wide, but there
should be 30-foot strip on either side
between each side line and the front
seats of the stand. That leaves but 81
feet, and to gain the proper angle
might necessitate cutting back instead
of building forward. A foot ball field
should run north and south; this one
would.
At any rate the proposal is worth
consideration. If not utilized the place
when abandoned would become an eye
sore, and would have to be filled up,
an expensive proceeding. Without
doubt the gridiron, inclosed in a quar-
the best possible use to which the
arid excavation could be devoted. AL
ready visions Of holding the Army.
Navy foot ball classic and other great
service contests here in the National
Capital, where they should be staged,
are fitting through the minds of thou
sands of Washingtonians. There
would scarcely be q day during the
foot ball season when some sort of
contest would not be scheduled within
the great sloping earthwork. 1t would
become sporting mecca ranking with
the Yale Bowl, the Palmer Stadium,
Franklin Field and the Baltimore
Stadium. The idea is that of j. S. Car
land, superintendent of the District
Water Department. 1t is far too good
to be wasted.

German Bonds Eagerly Taken.

Italy's share Of the German repara.
tions loan has been oversubscribed
twenty times. This follows the pace
set first in the United States and then
in England, France and Sweden. On
the last day for making subscriptions
the banks of Italy were literally be-
sieged by would-be investors.
The eagerness of the people of va
rious countries to invest in these
bonds is the surest sign of confidence
in the soundness Of the plan adopted
for the making of reparations and the
rehabilitation of Germany. Every
where has been displayed the same
manifestation on the part of people
of small holdings. AS rule, the
small investor is timid. He stakes his
cash with apprehension. OF course,
he may be lured by attractive PROPOSE
tions glowingly spread before him as op-
portunities to get rich quick. But there
is no big winning in the bond issue of
a foreign government. Such securi-
ties offer only a reasonable rate of
interest, and their attractiveness
mainly lies in the soundness Of the
security. Thus it is the more reassur-
ing to find the German loan so uni
versally favored by investors Of diff
ferent countries.
