railways of the United States is the
question which will be debated CON
test of the High School league of
North Dakota, according to an an
nouncement made by Professor A. II.
ioder, director of the League Forty
six schools took part in the contest:
last year and it is expected that APP
proximately the same number will
enter this year.
-A Unusual interest will be taken in
the debating of the question. accord
ing to Mr.. Yoder, as it is five years
since public ownership has been dis
cussed, and because of the govern
mental experience during the war of
operating the railroads, great deal
of new material will be available.
Actual practice as we'll as theory can
be drawn on for the debates. The
formal statement of the question is:
Resolved: That the Railways of the
United States should be owned and
operated by the Federal government.

MOORE APPEALS
TO DEMOCRATS
Urges Aid For Campaign
Fund At Earliest
Moment

Contributions to the national cam
paign fund for the Democtrtic party was
urged Thursday by Walter Moore, ma
tional committeeman from Alabama,
following his return from the east. That
all patriotic democrats who want to
see the party victorious in November
would at once help by their means, was
suggested by Mr.. Moore, who added
that contributions should be sent at the
earliest possible moment.
''The success of Mr.. Davis is assured
said Mr.. Moore. 1--WE have the repub-
licans licked right now, but we must
be counted until they are cast. There
are hundreds of faithful democrats in
the Birmingham district and in all parts
of this state who cannot give their
time to the cause, but they can give a
smalFdonation which may mean success
for educational ticket. 1t is idle to
reiterate that the democrats expect
their funds from the great mass of the
people, and will not be the recipients
of dpHations from sources seeking per-
sonaI yfaTors in the event of party
success. + urge all friends of the party
to send their donations in at once. The
time is short. The need. is pressing and
defeat may result in the failure of
party followers rallying to the call for
financial help"
Coincident with the statement of Mr..
Moore, came another from John II.
Bankhead of Jasper, asking for full and
artiveS support of the county and dis
trict financial directors. Borden Burr is

SOUTHSIDE LAND
FOUND IN GRIP
OF HECTIC MART
Most Spectacular Run In
Past Decade Is Re- i
ported :

One of the most hectic real estate
markets ever known to Birmingham is
said to have gripped southside business
property during the past three days and
to have resulted in the most spectacu-
lar run of trading in the last decade.
1t was reported Thursday that some
definite announcements of a mammoth
project affecting the section would be
Forthcoming within the next few days,
but the majority of those usuall. in
touch with the situation frankly admit
themselves in the dark" while the few
who are declared to have inside infor-
nation on the subject are exceptionally
reticent.
In the meantime, it has been run
away market. Prices of property held
for years have slid into strenuous ac-
stivity to the extent that it is estimated
that there are few good sites that have
not moved. One conservative broker
estimates that more sales of business
and semi-business real estate have been
made on the southside in the past u
hours than the combined aggregate for
five years previous.
RumOrS Develop
Agents, SPECTATORS and investors,
blindly casting about for causes of the
markets run, developed three rumors,
all unconfirmed. Among these are the
following
1. The establishment of joint retail
wholesale southside headquarters by
some national concern strong enough to
pull trade in the southside without the
advantageous surrounding OF a retail
district. Marshall Field of Chicago was
mentioned in connection with this re-
port, but officials of the branch here
deny knowledge of such move.
9 That railroad heads have agreed
upon the city's plan for grade crossing
elimination and will announce plans for
immediate construction.
3. That Henry Ford contemplates the
organization of distributing point here.
Sold Three Times
The combination of these 'guesses
and a variety of similar reports caused
sales at a rapidity the market has sell
dom before witnessed The battle front
apparently extends between Twenty-first
and Nineteenth streets from the tracks
as far north as Avenue E.,
One 5O-foot piece was reported to
have been sold three times by the same
agency Thursday. each time at stiff
gain in price Owners, asking $500 a
front foot have doubled their prices
over night. One sale of $4,000 early
Thursday was traced back to a want
advertisement inserted in The Age
Herald two weeks ago and subsequent
to the deal three other prospects called
regarding the same piece.
Details of the numerous transactions
were not available Thursday, for as
usual, the red tape through which the
trades must necessarily go holds up Of
fetal confirmation by about ten days.
That they had been made, however; was
attested by sales contracts which
practically every broker carried ut the
close of Thursday nights business.
