The American people have evidently made up
their minds that our natural resources must be
conserved. That is good, but it settles only half
the question For whose benefit shall they be
conserved - for the benefit of the many, or for
the and profit of the few? The great conflict
now being fought will decide.
There is no other question before~us that be-
gins to be important that Will be SO difficult
to straddle. as the great question between special
interest and equal opportunity; between the priv
ileges of the few and the rights of the many; be-
tween government by men for human welfare
and government by money for profit; between
the men who stand for the Roosevelt policies and
the men who stand against them.
The conservation issue is great moral issue.

necessaries OF life, either through ownership of a

Wind of Record Breaking
 Velocity Brings Cold WaOe

I
 And the wind blew. and the rain de- scended and-particularly, the wind blew.
 And 1t blew some more.
 Probably for sustained force and velocity, the blow of the last thirty six hours has the record for any wind visitation ever experienced in Montgom- cry. There have been winds of great CT velocity, but they have been more came all day yesterday. without ces- sation for rest, meals, or anything else, never let up for a minute.
 The highest velocity reached yester- day was thirty-four miles an hour, at s:20 in the afternoon. and before that on early Friday morning. when before daylight, the rain and wind to- gether broke upon Montgomery in a pandemonium, that brought the fitful sleepers to their feet. and which caused even the most phlegmatic of the snorers to become more uneasy and unsteady in their stertoreus breathing.
 The gale. together. was heaviest at the start at early Friday morning. and in several places on the outskirts of the city wires and poles and trees and fences were levelled before it's sweep to greet with an ugly debris the early risers.
 Morning brought no slackening. Up and down the streets of the business district the gale sped. Court Square, with Its corden of skyscrapers out. rivaled the famous Flatiron corner, where, the New Workers say, the ex- cessive breeziness Is never stopped.
 Pedestrians hugged the walls in their yjourneyings to and fro. grabbed their hats. and struggled bravely at the corners. where the wind played in a veritable maelstrom.
 And the poor, poor girls. They were neryy. all right. and they strug- gIed courageously, but the odds were against them. You could see them throughout the day. all sails set against the gale, but borne irFesisti- biy alons-plainly in distress, despair ing of reaching home.
 Poor. poor girls-but luckily there was dust a-plenty that the gale raised for the mans benefit.
 And the wind still blew.
 Later during the day the wind came on with a tinge of chill. The course as sascertained was from the North

Uncle Sam has undertaken a great, big job. He will endeavor to educate this American people of his. to the science of letter writing, according to Postmaster Dimmick, of the Montgom- cry office.
 Uncle Sam arrived at this decision when confronted. not so long ago, by tons and tons of dead letters" in the bone yard of correspondence at Wash inEton. He decided that there were too many. and to stop the accumulation. he will give, to this great American people, a course of instruction In ad- dressing correspondence.
 No. not a a'complete letter writer. but just a blank. with a model of address. which will be sent broadcast to every person who seems capable of writing a letter.
 Postmaster J. M. Dimmick will re- celve. in a few days, 50,0O0 of these model forms. showing just how ana where the name and address should be written. And besides the positions for the name and address there Is upon the model form, a superscriptlon in the up- per left hand corner of the envelope, hearing the name and address Of the sender And thus, if by any chance the letter nniscarries. or if the address Is IIlevible; or if the consignee has nov ed. or if any of those whims of fortune misdirect the missive. then 1t may easily be returned, according to the name of the sender in the corner.
 There will be another phase of this scheme of education. An effort will bt' made. according to Mir. Dimmick. to irterest inc teachers of the public schools in this crusade for the more direct addressing of letters. The teaeh- ers if they are amenable to- the re- o,ests of Uncle Sam. will guide the fingers of the youngsters until these same young people learn to address letter. .so that the most illiterate min ion of Uncle Sam, will be able to put U In the right place

 Suburbanites told wonderful tales of the gale in .&ieir neighborh0ods. Cap itol Heights people, proud of their newly made citizenship. hastened to claim for their Hilipntion town the title of the Windy City of Alabama D For that elevated spot known as capi- tol Heights was especially vulnerable to the blasts. Fer once the purchas- CTS of suburban homes in that region felt that they had heard the trhth when the agent told of the breexes that played over the site day after day.

 A portion of the fence of the ball park. in Capitol Heights. succumbed to the steady blow. and it was there that wires and trees were downed.
 In all. the wind was something for a memory. Coming as it did in the middle of the mildest weather. sud- denly visited upon Montgomsrians in all it's fury, It surprised and startled. And 1t really has the record for eon- tinued strength and velocity.

But that it will be colder there Is no doubt, nor Is there any doubt to those poor people who battled their way home after dark last night, with the gale whining and blowing and biting deep through cvercoats and wraps- were you so lucky as to have an over coat or wrap-and chilling to the bone those unfortunates who were caught down town in store and oface with the overcoat at home.
