FIFTHBIRTHDAY
t A Banquet-Barbecue With
Other Entertainment Fea
tures Set for Thurs
day, May 27
* Fairfield has decided to have a big cele
bration of its 5th anniversary, and the ex
ecutive and entertainment committee of
the Fairfield Commercial club have de
cided on Thursday, May 27. as the date.
The celebration will be in the form of
a field day and banquet-barbecue. The
local citizens of Fairfield, including the
business men, will take part in a ball
> game, tennis match, bicycle race, foot
race and other entertainments which will
be arranged for. In the evening a home
barbecue will be served and music ren
dered by local talent. The speaking will
be chiefly by local people. To close the
day a big public dance will be given In
the dancing hall of the St. Charles apart
ments
On this occasion the people of Fairfield |
will celebrate the founding of Fairfield
) five years ago by Robert Jemison, Jr., i
of Birmingham. Five years ago thp work
of building Fairfield began. It required
a little more than a year to finish the
work and an expenditure ofmore than
It .000,000.
During the past five years Fairfield has
made wonderful progress. Millions of dol
lars have been invested in the large indus
tries; hundreds of beautiful homes have!
I been built. Handsome business houses
have been erected.
The Fairfield Commercial club has
played an important part in the upbuild
ing of Fairfield. According to reports
made by Secretary Roberts of the Club
the past year has been one of much sue- 1
cess The club recently installed a com- 1
plete playground outfit for the children of 1
Fairfield, and under the direction of the
secretary the Fairfield Wihyhaha is be
ing published weekly. This is an eight
page weekly paper and contains the local
news of Fairfield, Ensley and VVylarn.
While the celebration to be held on
May 27 will be of a local nature, a large
number of Birmingham people will be in
vited to take part in the exercises, c.
W. Roberts, secretary of the club, says
that arrangements will he made for about
500 People and that nothing will be left

Never Hunted Bears,
But Has Killed 124
From the Globe-Democrat.
K1 Paso. Tex.—J. H. T. Cosper one
of the best known cattlemen of Ari
zona. is also known far and wjcle in
<hat state ua a bear hunter. He has
never made a real hear hunt, he says,
hut in all his trips over the rangy s
he has carried a gain and in the last
10 years he has accounted for 12 1
beats.
Mr. Cosper settled along the Bine
ri\ei in what is now Greenlee county,
Arizona, in 1885, and engaged in the
cattle business. At the time Geronimo
was making his raids along the Blue
river and conditions were far from
peaceful for the young cattleman.
Even vet the district along the Bln
an : White rivers and the White moun
tains Ik hut sparsely settled, the chief
■nhahitants, as Mr. Cosper puts it, :
ing roving bands of rattle. There is
plenty of game, and besides bear, ne
has killed numerous mountain lions
or cougars and hundreds of wild tur
keys.
rtescribing a hear rug in his home
Mr. Cosper says that it Is the hide or
s huge silver tip and measures eight
h.v nine feet. He killed this hear by
shooting it in the mouth at a dis
tance of about two feet, the hlg ani
mal having crept up on him. it weighed
SOU pounds.
"X have raised six boys on the Blue
river, and the older boys have killed
their share of hears. ' said Mr. Cosper.
"We have never had a doctor s hill to
pay. We did have one preacher In our
part of the country but he went crazy.
Then we had one doctor, hut he starved
to death. Clifton is my nearest tov.n
and It is B0 miles south of us, and
that over trails. There are no roads
worthy of the name."

As Modified
From the Louisville Herald.
Tite tisual crowd of loafers was seat
ed around the stove in the village groex
ery.
"Tell you what," began one of the he
v. hiskered hunch. "I never lied to my wife
in my life—"
At this point he wss interrupted by
^ a unanimous laugh that was loufi and
long.
"—that I didn't get caught at it." con
tinued the speaker after the laughter had
subsided.
Whereupon silence reigned supreme for
pearly 23 seconds.
closet cannot be estimated, but I do
know l was glad to find myself in
the open agvin: even though 1 lelt
myself under he pressure of a hot
iron. 1 had teen sent to the pressing
club and had J not done a little scrach
ing would probably have remained in
definitely in the trousers pocket, where
1 was substituted for the use of a
needle and thread. I never did like to
be a makeshift or to be an instrument
of carelessness. However, we cannot
work -out out own desting always.
When I became a nuisance 1 was
soon displaced from my hiding place
and thrust carelessly into a box, handy
for future use. among others of m:
kind and some oven more rusty than
myself. These are busy shops. Mr. and
Mrs. Eve>*yl ot’ y’s garments are tagged
and stretched in a line for repairs and
quick delivery. Everybody's in a hur
ry for their return and there is steam
ing and scrubbing and pressing to get
things ready for home again. Finally
a darling itte be pink eveng dress
was laved on the board ready for the
press* r. There were laces and frills
hanging and folding everywhere about
it and the great hot iron had a job
to keep from tearing them all away.
At last the merttable came, a dainty
little ruffle fell apart and the pin box
man. I was the victim to meet the
emergency and hide from view the dis
aster. This pleased me. I always liked
to serve wrhere things were dainty and
beautiful and I wondered what kind
of a mlslress I would have and wheth
er l would go. Not long in finding
oht tills, however, for a messenger
boy on a wheel almost flew with me
to n new home. I was snugly hidden
in t hi- folds of a dress and as the*
door opened T knew' I was doomed for
an evening dance. A beautiful maid of
the brunette type was wild with de
light that the old garment was made
anew and ready for the hour.
In the meantime 1 lay stretched out
on a snow white bed, the admiration of
a spend -1 he-day party, composed of a
half dosr.f •« very popular society girls
There were all types of beauty and
disposition. I often wished T could join
in with them and tell them some of
the things 1 knew from going around
among folks and learning in my own
way just what 1 knew but doomed
to be silent my observations may be
worth whole i,i other events.
The hostess, the girl to wear our
pink dress, has a very pretty room,
tidied and made comfortable by sonic
pci.ins if h workshop The motto jusi
over her mantle implies a great priv
ilege: This is a place to rest.” This
evidently intended hands only, for
tongues were given fail- play. They
were castle binding and the founda
tion of the structure was a good time.
"Id lather dance than any other
imaginable thing, but give me a part
ner that keeps the right step." Has
she wondered what that right step
means, is she thinking only of hts
tango in the ballroom or is she think
ing of the gait of the man; is he sure,
does lie keep time or throw it away?
Another \oiee said: "I like some
thing new every day. Some pleasure
that is a change from yesterday, some
thing doM.p.” Does she ever think ol
doing thingt- herself; these new things
have their pi ice: somebody pays for
them? Is she selfish? Is she living or
dreaming?
Still another says: “All i can waste
is time. 1 have plenty of it. Each year
I plant a crop of fun and reap a har
vest of good times."
What is a good time? Cg^tainly there
will come an awakening some day.
These are precious hours wasted and
time is a valuable asset. Even youth
must hold on to it else it’s gone and
tomorrow may never he. And just -is
the lunch bell rang, the fourth voice
peals forth: "And now is the hour for
motion. We me*, r on from one pleas
ure to another. Surely time is kind.”
’Tis when somebody gives of .ilirir
life and toil to make things go for
the silfish. Rebind every life of in
dolence, of wasting, there is some
body working. somebody keeping
things moving.
This lunch hour left me alone and
in the quiet I realised 1 was doomed
to a siege og pleasure, where all the
sweets of life were valued by the scali
of enjoyment, and 1 could only look
over the chasm between the trivial and
things worth while. Youth paints beau
tiful pictures: lime removes Die var
nish and brings the sombre colors of
genius into the ruins. Tims it is with
girlhood: They dance away the bloom
of youth .red maturer years bring
them to more serious problems, and
there echoes back a reminder of fool
ish hours at play.
Night drew near and left the world
in darkness, without a single star, but
the air was filled with the rumbling
sounds of wheels, seeming to put the
world in motion even though exclu
sively on pleasure bent the spirit was
contagious and everybody was in for
the game. I was there with my pink*
dress. The ballroom glittered with elec
tricity that seemed to penetrate the
assembly. Everything was brilliantly
beautiful. The music gave motion to
the entire attendance and the world
moved round and round, intoxicated
with the delights of Terpsichore. Soon
the cock in the distant fig tree crowde
and marked passed the midnight hour
and warned of the break of day. Then

the joy lovers for action again. Th©
home drive was tedious, even my lauy
was dull, though the showers of draise
and love songs fell in her ear through
out the evening. She whs ready for
rest and besides her favored escort
she even longed for fhat hour, the end
of the drive, the freedom of home and
luxury of dreamland.
There was so much pleasure in do
ing, getting things ready for the eclai.
of the hall, the antiicpation of bell
dotn, but one could mark the undoing
as of equal compensation, to relax and
think before the wandering stare of
oast scenes had gone from view. Then
to sleep and dream of life, of pur
pose and genuine pleasure, that recre
ation that puts in action head and
hand, heart and soul. These elements
that minimize'the ballroom and intro
duce the material life as the goal with
the other ns incidental events to make
up the whole. 1 had seen society, I had
slipped through the taste of my pink
dress its pleasures and T had known Its
emptiness and I longed to he free to
either fall into the trash can again
with the privilege to end it all or catch1
hold of the other side and see the real.
To know the facts of every-day life,
its bitterness or Its sweets, to strug
gle with these vvho toil anil to rise with
them above the trials of idle hours.
Thus I waited until the maid came at
break of day and took the red dress
worse tattered and more torn, with the
demand to save the lace. This was my
doom and the little fragments that 1
held together fell to the floor and left
tne 10 the mercy of a stranger I was
iem< vtd and pinned to James’ pinafore
Oh. what a variety in life, hut this is
experience, this is what vve all pay
for.
j This is not an unusual maid and she
was restless and idle. The first aft
ernoon 1 was with her she threw me
carelessly away arid 1 was picked up
by a tramp. Oh. how ragged he was,
how hungry, how low in his plans.
Content to loaf the world over, get
what *ould he gotten for nothing and
sleep In any old Jail. Of course, I wa«
Pinned to him, to live hardly, Just ic
pull around and loiter. What an ideal.
This would be r good sphere from
which to leave the world of pins and
go beneath the soil to he trodden ard
beat upon by weather and traffic.
Sometimes jour thoughts come true.
1 am lost on the streets and glad to
be released from trampdom, though
while T lived in its throes 1 made some
observations. All the world dodges
trouble. The man or woman vvho car
i ics a countenance of worry , the
clothing of a vagabond finds people
shy from them like the crows from a
scarecrow* in a corn patch. Not that
people are unkind but they are too
busy with their own demands to as
sume tht troubles of an idler, not the
man in trouble, but Hie man who cries
at the expense of others, the man who
toils not and works not. There are
cheerful givers t«. the worthy and na
ture pictures the two classes perfect
ly. You cannot often lie mistaken. Even
an insignificant pin rises above the
footprints in the dirt and a woman
bending low picked tne up and pinned
me to the dress of velvet. I don’t know
why, but somehow I felt uncomfort
able. 1 had seen the best in life and
now I felt 1 was doomed to the worst.
1 was not wrong.
We went home together—home, that
word choked me when I knew its
meaning and knew its absence. I got
close to the Women, young in years.
In experience grown. 1 read her story,
kife thrown away; disappointed, weak,
vain, and the world that was liers
was gone. Pictures on the wall wer *
scenes of the past. A framed photo-!
graph on the dresset told of mother
and the face spoke love. I thought 1
read sadness and T knew her sorrow
This made me want to stay In my dts
picable place. T wanted to change her,
dress, to see her beyond the depths
into which she hgd been led.
1 dropped from her dross and foil
to use again in one of her negligee
costumes. So T was in a position to
feel hoi heartaohes. to know hei an
guish and hoar her longings for free
dom. even death. Poor, frail creation in
human form, you have taken the cup
of life to drink and you have been
poisoned. Cannot you rise above the
awful or reach out like mo.' Can’t
you gain your release by’ your own
resolution? Ts it not worth while to
try? Not too late; start fresh leave
the world and seek some dark cor
ner and hide until you can find you
true womanhood and then gradually
the sunshine will force Its way. Hope
lives for you as long as you regret,
lepent. and ho forgiven. This is a piom
• se higher than earth. It Is given to
the world. When you have conquered
self you have overcome vice and then
you begin life.
Silence Was only disturbed by tho
dropping of tears on her pillow—the
frequent sighs from her overburdened
heat and the perking of her nerve
wrecked frame, blit into the midnight
she dashes and amid throngs an I
crowds she rambles and then my den
tin ybegins anew. 1 have fallen in the
dust and am burled out of sight. 1
know’ she wishes she had met my fate,
and I almost wish it. too. I have hope,
she has none.

COMER’S STATEMENT
PROVES A FEATURE
OF WEEK’S POLITICS
(Continued from Page Flvn
A. H. Carmichael, speaker of the Ala
bama house of representatives, was
already on the scene and it goes with
out saying that Senator Bankhead was
present.
As a result of the investigation it
was made plain that no man can re
ceive a just share of the vote of t h *
counties touched by the Tenness*-.
river who is not heartily in favor of
inducing the national government to
perfect the harnessing of Muscle
Shoals. »
Senator Bankhead in the future cam
paign for this big vote will have th-'
inside track. His reception in north
Alabama was in effect a triumph. His
20-year work in Congress has been
confined practically to labor for the
Improvement of Alabama rivers. It is
natural, therefore, that river counties
should regard him with especial fa
vor.
There is no question hut that he will
prove to be a very able candidate for
re-elect ion. However, so many aspir
ants will be In the field that there is
no way of indicating the probable re
sult. Senator White, Mi. Heflin, Mr
Abercrombie and Mr. Hobson me con
sidered in the light of prospective can
didates. flay Rushton of Montgomery
is planning again to enter the lists
And rumor has it that former Governor
O'Neal may ask the people further to
honor him. Therefore, that which to
day seems entirely probable, might
within a few short years be impos
sible.
Mr. Heflin, incidentally, is not at ail
distressed in that it is said two strong
men of his district will oppose him for
re-election next year. The candidates
whom rumor has nominated are lienrv
P. Merritt oi Tuskegee, member of tin*
legislature and chairman of the recess
tommittee on investigation, and George
A. Sorrell of Dadeville.
"Up to the present time,'' said Mr.
Heflin in conversation with an Ag« -
Herald reported in Sheffield, "my shim
mer has not been disturbed by dis
quieting nightmares. If my opposition
next year is confined to the pair of
distinguished gentlemen mentioned in
•he press aa fostering an ambition 10
star in the Congress of United States,
it is reasonably certain that I will
continue to pass my days in comfort
nnd my nights in pleasant dreams.
"The Rentlemcn, in the event they do
oppose me. will have difficulty in car
rying their home counties. 1 am very
fortunate in having in both these coun
ties many warm personal anil polit
ical friends who believe that l have
proved myself capable of serving ih<jin
at least to r certain degree of accept
ability.*’
It is worthy of notice In this review
of the political events of the week just
riown that the suffragettes have been
"out among the natives."
The press carried dispatches to the
< ffect tnat the orators took to task
the elections and privileges committee
of the lower house of the state's gen
* arl assembly. As a matter of fact,
the suffragettes have a cause for
grievance against that committee, not
simply because it failed to report tire
Greene equal suffrage bill, hut because
after 14 of Its 1B members had prom
ised favorably to report it. they per
mitted it to be stifled or chloro
formed.
Mrs. Shaw on a recent visit to Ala
bama declared in effect that the pro
hibition party is uptrustworthy. The
elections and privileges committee of
tiie house . is made up exclusively of
pi ohibitionists. The situation U in
teresting for other reasons than that
Representative Greene declared that
one of on 1 > two types opposing equal
suffrage is the liquor politician.
There is destined vet to be an in
teresting battle regarding equal suf
frage. The prohibitionists were afraid
to submit the question of state-wide
prohibition. They are evidently fear
ful that the submission of equal suf
11 age would subject them to such rid
icule that their entire list of accom
plishments would fall into still greater
disrepute.
