LOCAL REALTY ADVANCES

Recent sale of the northwest corner of Sixth avenue and Nineteenth street carries two-fold significance in that it followed closely several transfers of property in that section, indicating a trend of expansion of the mercantile district northward, and the advance in prices shows an increasing demand in property in that district. This property is one hundred feet square. A year ago it was purchased by the Chamber of Commerce as a building site for that organization, but was sold within a few months at round profit. The recent sale brought price rep resenting fifty per cent profit on the price paid year ago.
 When it is recalled that little more than twenty-five years ago this site was part of corn field which could have been pur- chased for about fifty dollars an acre or less, some idea may be had of the advance in property values of Birmingham Within a few years realty values. not only in the business district, but in residential sections both central and outlying have shown steady advances, and good profits have been realized by various owners. There is every indication that the realty market will continue active. With the rapid growth of tue city, the necessity of expansion in the business dis trict becomes more apparent. with consequent increase in market values.

It is replete with information that should be absorbed by every patriotic pro. gressive citizen. We cannot properly present the claims of our home town unless we have educated ourselves as to its advantages, and it was with the idea of making the facts of Anniston's growth and Calhoun countys op- portunities available to every reader that the Star undertook the task of compiling the data that is embraced in the special edition -AnnistOn Star

Banking And Feeding

To the Editor of The Age-Herald :: Gl
 We see the banks at Oneonta, in Blount county, have taken very wise stand. They give notice to farmers that no advances will he made for the purchase of food and feed for live stock after this spring or this crop ping season. They are exactly right There is no use in living on farm and buying the food and feed to run that farm. It is non sense. No farmer can prosper who, fails to grow what he needs at home, and no bank can afford to lend money to the farmer who will not use common sense enough to grow what he needs. The banks are doing what they have needed to do for a long time They can make the farmer do a whole lot better for himself if they will refuse credit for food and feed purchases and the mer- chants should do the same in most cases. If the banks and merchants would act to- gether it would solve the problem. Somehow the average farmer gets it into his head that buying is cheaper than growing the stuff. Of course he is mistaken. He can grow it for less than half what it costs to buy it. Take hay, for instance. He can grow three or four tons to- the acre of several kinds of hay. Say he pays $25 per ton for hay, then three tons will cost him $75. but he can grow it on one acre of land. but he can't grow cotton enough on one acre to pay for half the hay. If he needs hay at all, he had better plant three or four acres to good hay early in the season, and what cotton money he gets he can keep Plenty of hay and corn is the first essential to farmer If he has that all the rest comes easy.. Every body grow hay and, corn this year. and don f buy one single load. e, itiis.

You, The Organization
By JOHN CARLYLE

1t takes 231 persons working 12 months a year to bring one member into the Methodist church. Bishop Theodore S. Henderson, of that denomination, itemizes the man force in this way:
 One minister, working 12 months.
 Ten official members of>the official board, working F months.
 Twenty officers and teachers in the Sun day school, working 12 months.
 Two hundred members of the church work ing P months.
 Notwithstanding the great number of churches with their many officers and teachers, the gain in membership in this de- nomination was only about 10000 in the year 1923. Although the distinguished bishop does not say so, he must feel that this is an inadequate return for the forces which he enumerates
 In this respect the Methodist church, of course, is no different from any church or from almost any average organization. The essential weakness of organizations lies in the failure of joiners to do their full part.
 It Is so easy to join organizations so- cieties, clubs, civic bodies, and to feel that when we have put our name on the rolls we have discharged our reasonable duty. It is easy enough to pay our dues and to vote "aye" or "no3 with the5other members and to go on record that '.it be the sense of this organization that we do, this and that" But carrying out in individual action the cor porate promises that we have made is quite another matter.
 Until members of societies are willing to accept personal responsibility for the pur- poses and actions of their organizations, the organization will not and can not function.
 Do you suppose that if ten members of the official board of church plus twenty Sunday school teachers and officers plus a membershiptof of two hundred really worked at the job, there would not be more than one person added to the church in q year? We Americans are generous with our money We are willing to pay for hired workers to do our tasks-and we feel pretty good about it when we have done so. But we Americans very much like other human beings-find it simple and easy and pleasant to pass the buck. es f ssH s"te-
 We lean against the organization to which we belong. Instead of leaning on it we should be holding it up. < To get the sense of per sonai responsibility for corporate acts is Fitui. r..

TRIBUTE TO UNDERWOOD

The Endorsement by Alabama of Senator, Oscar. ". Underwood for the Democratic presidential nomination but reflects the de- sire of the citizenry of this state to do honor to distinguished son worthy to bear the party standard in the November election. The result was the expected, for it was incon- ceivable that Alabama would repudiate the candidacy of Senator Underwood.
 The only unhappy aspect was that there should have been any contest at all. Those who sponsored the presidential primary law followed an unnecessary course giving to those who sought to injure Senator Under wood, for reasons personal to themselves an appeal that otherwise they would not have possessed and without which they would not have contemplated any issue in opposition to the statesman Alabama desired to present to the nation as it's candidate for the presidency
 It is the belief of The Age-Herald that those responsible for the presidential primary law, while loyally thinking of Senator Un- derwood were unfortunately also thinking of themselves and their own political position in Alabama. Their vision ran, perhaps to the
 
 strengthen themselves at the moment of Sen ator Underwoods triumph.
 In democraty the true test of our form of government is in the final determination by the people themselves in the choice of those who are to represent them. Issues may rise and pass, but the essence of de- mocracy is the right of free choice at a free ballot. That is fundamental and it was great tribute paid to Senator Underwood on yesterday when the people rose above any consideration of just resentment and voted to him the distinction to which he is so worthily entitled
 The endorsement of the people of Alabama cannot but have a profound effect upon the sentiment in other states. prophet that is held in high honor in his own country. where he is best known, cannot fail to be held equally in high honor elsewhere. There fore, Alabama stands with Oscar Underwood on the threshold of new era in national affairs. Sectionalism and prejudice are about to De swept away ln cleansing wave of unanimity of sentiment and opinion such as have been submerged for many decades Oscar Underwood now faces the nation and his opponents in the confidence that at his back are the friendly serried ranks of Alabamans, like wall behind him as he fights onward. Inspired by that evidence of stalwart SUD- port, and buoyed by the consciousness of an honorable public record, Alabama's choice for the presidency cannot fail to win wide popular approval throughout the length and breadth of land newly but profoundly dis trustful of the party in power. Underwood nominated by the Democratic party is almost the same as Underwood elected to the presi. dency. E, gs .;a gssss-sssys.s,
