YOUNG BANDITS
 ARE CAPTURED

Kansas City, Mo, October d-Fwn farm hands, Fred Steiger and Lyman Ramsey, aged IS and 19 years respective" ly, yesterday held up and robbed four persons who were driving in an automo- bile in the country south of here. The victims of the robbery, which netted the youths but s4, were Harry C. Mosher and wife of Chicago and M. l. Mosher and Mrs. Ethel Allen of this city.
 Although the robbers, with drawn re- yolvers, were extremely serious about their work. the occupants of the motor refused to see the affair in the same light While the women tested with the amateur desperadoes about the cruel business they were engaging in the men pulled some small change from their pockets and handed 1t to the hold-up men. No attempt was made to search the passengers of the car Both robbers were armed with revolyers purchased here last Saturday and wore red hand kerchiefs over their faces. Ramsey also added pair of automoblist's goggles to his disguise.
 A posse of farmers captured the pan dits' shortly after the robbery. The authorities say the youths told them they had planned an invasion of the south, intending to commit robberies enough to pay their expenses and later go to wy oming to establish a permanent haunt.

 It is the one feature of the jubilee in which the women of Birmingham can show their public spirit.
 It is the one feature that has been set aside which is the exclusive right of tl< women.
 It is the one feature which the men are looking to the women to make a sue cess of.
 It is the one feature that will be an everlasting tribute to the civic pride which the women of Birmingham feel in its growth.
 It is the one feature which demands that every woman who cares whit about this great big growing city will contribute her mite in the shape of en- couragement and cooperation in the un- dertaking.
 A great many women have signifled their intention of decorating their auto mobiles and joining the parade-but some have made excuses, and this isn't the right spirit.
 Mrs Redin deserves. after all the en- ergy and time and worry that she has expended, and will further expend on the details and arrangements, to have every woman who owns an automobile to cheer fully join In the plan to make the floral parade a glorious success and triumph for the women of Birmingham.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Hall of Montgomery Lodge, No.
1913, l. o. o. F.
Death has again entered our
ranks and removed from our midst
our dearly beloved and highly re-
spected brother, P. H. Kemp.
The Lodge has lost consistent
and faithful member; the home a
loving and devoted husband and
father, and the community an
upright, enterprising and loyal
citizen. With sorrowful hearts but
with hope that looks far beyond
this vale of tears to bright and
happy home, where all is life,
beauty and JOY, we pay this last
tribute of respect to our departed
brother.
Resolved, therefore, that this
Lodge wear the emblems of
mourning and be properly draped
for sixty days; that we extend to
the bereaved family our sincere
sympathy in this their dark hour
of affliction, and commend them
to Him, who alone can heal the
broken heart and comfort the dis
tressed soul.
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the
records of the Lodge, and that a
copy of the same be sent to the
family OF our deceased brother,
and be furnished the papers of
our city for publication.
