Hooper Will Boost

'There cannot be any question about it. said MT. Hooper. If the army of travelling men who leave Birmingham every week and reach out all over the several states adjoining Alabama were to hit the line hard for Birmingham the result would be phenomenal. I believe in playing good ball and intend to tell the folks whom meet where they can se- cure the best in hardware, dry goods, shoes, clothing, groceries and all those lines that are carried here in Birmng- ham. In the beginning of this city's growth 1t was necessary that small stocks be carried and that the jobbers find out what they could do. It has now come to pass that anything may be se- cured here, and of the best character, and 1t only requires continual boosting to get the results desired. I also intend to vote for B. B. Conner for anything he wants"

"State finances appear to be easy at the moment. owing to large tax payments made in advance of final date by the railroads and other corporations, in re- spence to requests of the governor, and early in January the treasury will be in funds ito retire all outstanding warrants and other obligations.
 I've do not know of any public or private utteranceH of the governor S which would warrant the belief that it is his intention to call an extra session of the legislature at any time during the coming year, but for reasons explained in our review last month, 1t is difficult to see how one can be avoided. It may be done however. as the governor has proved himself to be wonderfully re- sourceful, and Treasurer Purifoy's man. agement of the states finances under ad- verse conditions has been most eredta- ble.

Mir. Mitchell said: Business throughout my district was never better. Indeed, it is surprising to me. l hff ex- pected good business. but not on such a scale as we are enjoying at present.
 Tn the last six months there has been but two failures in the country 1 make. and these insignificant. which fin itself proves that business was never better for the people of northern Alabama.

GOOD CROWDS HEAR
 BALL|NGTON BOOTH
Gives Statistics of the Work Being Done by Volun-
 teers of America

Gen. Ballington Booth, president and founder of the Volunteers of America. spoke to two crowded meetings in local churches yesterday.
 In the morning at 1t o'clock he ad- dressed the congregation of the Sec ond Presbyterian church and in the evening al 7:45 o'clock he spoke be- fore a very large assemblage in the First Methodist church. Both addresses of General Booth were devoted to the problems confronted by the Volunteers of America.
 In both morning and evening ad- dresses he dwelled largely on statistics bearing on the work of the Volunteers of America. which. in part, follow:
 Any institution. however benevolent in aim and sincere in the purpose of reinstating men, should bear in mind that there is the possibility of helping tho poor in a spasmodic manner with out actually bettering their condition or lifting them from their present. en- vironment. The poor man, unless im- proved in character and the capacity to help himself. remains within his poverty stricken and helpless surround
 
 hence q great deal of the work of which I speak is that accomplished in so far bettering the man himself that he seeks in turn to better his own con dltion, that of his family and that of his surroundings.
 During the past year 6396 women have been cared for in our Homes of Mercy, while 44,771 beds have been provided in these institutions. The Vol unteer officers and workers visited and aided no less than 33.338 families in and around the poorest sections of the large cities where they labor during the year. No less than 435.90S persons were lodged in homes and institutions for working and destitute men and women, not including the many thous- ands who were given temporary re- lief during the strikes in several sec tions of the country
 Tn the Volunteer hospital during the past year there have been 460 separ- ate admissions to the wards: 7Sfi pa- tients admitted to the surgical and nursing wards; 13.4S2 new cases treat- ed 22,s43 old cases treated. and a total of not less than 47619 cases of all kinds treated in the institution.
 Surely. with this knowledge we who labor under the Volunteer standard should have every hopefulness of see ing even greater usefulness, while those who have aided us may feel re- warded for their timely assistance"

Frank M. Bridges Here

One of the most widely known paper salesmen in the south, Frank l.. Bridges of the Birmingham Paper company, was in the/city for the week ending satur- day. He travels this state competing for paper trade with some of the best sales men engaged in that line of work.
 Mir. Bridges says that Birmingham is growing daily in the estimation of per- sons outside of the city who look upon Birmingham as the hub of the state in all business affairs. He said Birmingham was destined to become one of the big gest trade centers in the south if the get together spirit continued to grow.

What Justice Is

s-'Justice Is the next shining llnl< Tn the chain of our brotherhood. Justice is tho principle opposed to every form of oppression and essays to protect the weak against the tyranny of the strong to wrong no one by word or deed; to uphold the right and condemn the wrong. Justice knows no material fa- voritism, but is continually seeking for truth and placing truth on the high pedestal of all human endeavor; for there is nothing back of truth. The force behind all righteousness is truth ; brates between real truth and mans conception of truth. Real justice deals with the intent and not the deed, and charity linked with justice sees the pure intention and not the impure deed. Verify, charity and justice go hand in hand.
 'Brotherly love. This attribute with the Elks embraces not only members of the order, but extends to every class of the great brotherhood of man kind. It is preached from our pulpits as well as our lodge rooms all over the world, but more than preached. it is universally practiced to q great CT extent today than ever before in the history of the world Brotherly love as practiced by this great fraternity re- joices with all the good fortunes of our brethren, and sbeds real tears With their sorrow It is the love that can stand by the bedside of misery and pain and unselfishly give of true thoughts and silent prayer for relief and recovery. To the sad and suf- fering is a claim which no true Elk will fail to realize. no matter whether the unfortunate be or be not mem- Der of the organization, it is enough to be human and to suffer In the prac- q tstf- holds inviolate the teachings of God that we have no right to place a dis. tinction that God Himself hath not made can we take into our hearts and practice the command of the Great Ex- alter Ruler of the universe. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind and thy neighbor as thyself.'

 Summed up as a whole, the great Benevolent and Protective Order or Elks believe in enjoying God given good and sharing it with others. Their social reunions are delightful gather ings. full of wit, life and laughter. They believe in cheering the down hearted by kindly, cheerful, genial, hopeful and helpful words, which so often give new life, hope and heart to the man who is ready to perish. It is, therefore, not strange that an order founded upon such a creed and which carries it's pre- cepts into practice should have grown so wonderously that the little orlsinal lodge with a handful of members should have expanded into a mighty army or nearly 500,000 hopeful workers who arc spreading the gospel of charity, jus ticc. brotherly love and fidelity to all corners of the earth"

EulOgies Spoken

The orchestra rendered an approprl- ate selection following the address of MT. Shelby owing to the fact that Mrs. Philip Memoli was unable, through Ill., ness. to give her harp solo, accordpig to the programme.
 The eulogies followed by John w. Altman, who spoke feelingly of >the lodge members that have gone to the great beyond. Mir Altman dwelled on the friendship and fraternity of the lodge and of the members who in the prime of their lives suddenly found their account closed and were forever set back beyond the curtain of eter- nity." He spoke of the sorrow felt as the names were called and never ans wered; of the liberal views of the departed brothers. men who met life and it's adversities with a cheering smile, who forgot their own troubles to go to the relief of others that bet ter and brighter world might result"
 Mir Altman then named the five de- ceased members during the year 1912, and spoke in eulogy briefly of their lives. The following was the death roll of the local lodge in 1912: |. W. Johns, J. J. Odom, Warren Tice, C. August Schillinger and J. L. Gates. There's Beautiful Land on High was then sung by J. P.
