Springs a slim green lady
Fathered in the town,
Autumn is farmers lassie
With her hair down
Scarlet in her hOmespun,
Bare her brown young feet.
And her lips are stained with berries
Red as bittersweet
She has golden eyes to lure you,
Sleepy, slow and warm.
And her briar-tattered jacket y
Bares q white, soft arm.
Blue smoke from the leaf fires
Dims the frosty air
If you crush her close and kiss her
She will never care.
She's no prim and proper
Lady of the town,
Autumn is farmers lassie sssszssa-

THE ENGINEERS ARE WELCOME.

Birmingham takes unusual pride and
satisfaction in welcoming today the visit
ing members of the American Institute
3fE Mining and Metallurgical Engineers.
IT is believed that there exists between
ehese men and the people of Birmingham
&rsintimate kinship of interest and COM
mon purpose rarely appearing between
any community and the membership of
4 visiting convention. Birmingham lives,
moves and has its being around its mines,
mills, plants and factories and around
those further activities that development
Of. the basic factors has brought into be-
ing. And our visitors ARE penetratingly
Interested and absorbed in the very re-
sources and materials on which the pros
Neffty of this district is founded.
Important as Birmingham's industries
are, however, and vast as are her raw ma
ferfals, it is believed that the opportuni-
DIES yet ungrasped and the veins yet I'M
tapped are more numerous and extensive
han those now being exploited. 1t is
believed that the comprehending and
Yienetrative gaze of our visitors will de.
tAct and catalog many items of signifi.
cance to them and to the entire industrial
world. If they approve of the endow'
TAents that nature has bestowed upon this
district, they may rest assured that Biz
bingham is hospitable to new enterprise
and to new energy. Birmingham expects
soon to have population of half mil
lion, and not long thereafter population
Of q million. She expects to draw from
the most enlightened and enter'prising
human sources for these newcomers.
1t is hoped that the weather will CO.
operate with the people of this district
ca cordiality to the visiting engineers, and
may they come again and often.

How much more rent are you going to

he suggested that should tell him how much

mated, he could tell me whether or not had
been wise in making the change.
what percentage of your Esalary is the
rent?" he asked. 'No one should pay more
than twenty-five per cent. in rent"
1T is satisfactory percentage" | said.

That was not the attitude he wished me 10

Alabama Banks Handle Farm Financing.

Alabama Banks Handle Farm Financing.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
l note in this mornings Age-Herald an ar
ticle with reference to a New York banking
group financing the Texas Farm Bureau Cot
ton Association.
In this connection, it might be of interest
to you to learn that the financing of the Ala
bama Farm Bureau Cotton Association since
its organization has been handled almost en-
tirely by banks in the state of Alabama, and
it is reported that the cost of money to the
Alabama association has been lower than the
cost to any other cooperative cotton market
ing association.
l think this is an excellent indication Of
the splendid financial condition of the state
of Alabama.
