The Truth About Your Town.

No company ever made a CONNER
cial success that didn't believe in it
self, watch the expenditures and
count the gains carefully and adver-
tise. No company ever made a sue
cess with parts of its management
and stockholders lying about it and
insisting that it was broke and doing
no business, says the Marshalltown
Times-Republican
To a large extent that's true of a
town. We ought to believe in our
town and its future. We ought to
tell the truth about it, When our
town is doing the best business it
ever did we ought to say so. We
ought not any of us run around ly-
ing about it. slandering the town for
our own personal purposes and in
our own prejudices.
We are all stockholders in our
town. We all pay taxes. Yes, every
one who pays rent, pays taxes. Don't
miss that. We are all interested.
We ought to be honest enough to tell
the truth. We ought to be interested
enough to advertise our big business
and prosperity.
If there is less pauperism we ought
to say so: if there is more money In
hands which have not been used to
having it we ought to say so; If the
merchants are doing more business
we ought to say so; if there are more
factories than ever, more residences
going up, more business blocks being
built, we ought to say so; If the bank
deposits are greater we ought to say
so. No matter what we may want
personally in the way of morals or
immoral we ought to tell the truth
as stockholders or get out of the or
ganization.
1t is a poor bird which fouls its
own nest. 1t is mighty poor BUSH
ness man who decrys his own busi-
ness. 1t is very undesirable type
of citizen who ISLANDERS his own town
for his own and the purposes of oth--
ers.

HE, SHE, OR TT

Much merriment was created In the police court yesterday morning when Officer Warren was giving his testi- mony regarding a negro man who has successfully passed for women for several months past He was attired In female garments and gave his name as Fay Thompson. There was nothing fairy like about him, however, for he was heavy featured and as coarse as a gas cinder. His voice was an ex- ception 1t was thin and piping.
 When officer Warren was explaining to the court the circumstances that led to the arrest, he got somewhat mixed In his personal pronouns using the word "she" instead of he" or vice versa. Then it was that Judge Black. with one of those flashes of quick thought that has so often startled the court officials suggested the word "it," which ended the officers difficulty. The evidence developed that the un- fairy like Fay had started to clean up a residential section of the colored 400 and had about succeeded when Officers Warren and Daly arrived. The negro masquerader turned his attention to the officers and dispite his 'hobble skirt cut "a la Mary Jane," gave them a tussle that removed all doubts as to his identity. Judge Black fined him S90 and 1S0 days for resisting an of ficer and $50 for disorderly conduct.

NEW BY-PRODUCT OVENS
 TO BE CHARGED TOMORROW

The recently completed by-product coke ovens of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company will be charged with coke tomorrow for the initial service. The entire battery will doubt less be placed in operation within a short time, the inauguration of one battery only taking place tomorrow.
 The ovens have been under con- struetion for about 20 months. They cost something like $1.500O00 and arc of the Hopper type of by-product ovens. They are considered the best ovens that are now known and are rapidly displacing the bee hive ovens that have been used extensively dur ing the past in the local industrial operations. The oven construction at Corey eXempllhes the very latest thought of engineers and they are the latest ovens of the by-product kind owned by the Steel corporation With

INSPIRATION OF
 BIBLE DISCUSSED Rev. McVagh Laments De- cline in Olden Time
 Beliefs

Evangelist C. F. McVagh in his ser mon last night 10 the Colporter's Con vention now being held by the Seventh Day Adyentists in their chapel on Twelfth avenue and Seventeenth street north, lamented the decline in the be- lief of the inspiration of the Bible and in the deity of Christ, He used the texts, DO ye now believer Why call ye me. Lord. Lord and do not the things which l say"
 He said in part. Thus spake Jesus to his followers and if we study care fully we shall find the secret of the lack of power in the lives of church members and whatever of weakness in the church today.
 "The gospel is the power of God un- to salvation to every one that believeth. Salvation is practical thing and Christians are saved from definite habits and sins which once bound them in chains which they could not of themselves break.
 To-day @ strange mental and spirit ual confusion seems to be settling up- on professed Christians which in some instances almost borders on infidelty Few seem to expect God To do any thing definite and many are to be found who try 10 explain away the miracles of the Bible.
 We are even told that belief in the inspiration of the Bible is not essential to Christianity. It is essential, how ever. to victorious Christian lying. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect
 T am glad to unite with my breth- ren of all denominations for the up lifting of society and the better ment of society. l would be glad to see all churches unite upon the plat form of Thus saith the Lord But am not anxious enough for union to surrender any principle of truth-any part of the Bible. DO ye now be- lieVe?"

BIRMINGHAM TRUST
 & SAVINGS COMPANY

Beginning about the middle of Ianu-
 ary the Birmingham Trust and Say
 ngs company changed it's savings rate
 from 2 to per cent. It will be in
 teresting to very many people to know
 the result so far.
 or course there are institutions for
 whom change has an irresistible attrac-
 tion and they adopt each new thing
 as it comes along and experiment with this plan and that. Banks are not so different from other institutions, but among them are members or thls class and by whom change of this sort would hardly excite comment But when an old established institution like the Birmingham Trust and Savings company makes so important an eX- pertinent as a raise in interest rate from | the minimum to the maximum, 1t eX- cites a general inquiry into results. | Inquiry at the bank shows that the result so far as increasing the deposits are concerned has been all and moro 1 than the management had hoped or an | ticipated.
 Instantly upon the announcement of | the change the appreciation of the peo- ple made itself evident through the l large increase. in the number of say ings accounts now being daily opened with consequent steady growth in the total of deposits.
 It must be remembered that the say ings department is not for the large deposltor, no account being allowed to exceed s5000. It is primarily for the
 small depositor who puts by small
 amounts from time to time until he accumulates an amount large enough to buy a home or to make a better paying investment.
 So 1t happens that great deal of money is drawn out of the savings
 banks between interest periods on which the bank pays no interest since
 the last previous interest period Be- sides, the larger the volume of money in a bank the better able il Is to meet demands which grow more various and larger in size as community grows in population and wealth Again, the larger the number of small depositors identified with a bank, the wider Is

TWO CIVIC BODIES
 MAY CONSOLIDATE
Chamber of Commerce Con- fers With Board of Trade
SHOULD CALL STREETS
F. o. Harvey Introduces Resolution Asking That Street Car COnduc- tors Be Instructed to Call
 Street Names

A conference will be held this morn ing at 1O:39 o'clock by the representatives of the Birmingham Board of Trade and the Chamber of Commerce to consider the advisatillty and terms of uniting these respective bodies.
 A committee, consisting of W. T. Cox, ]. D. Collirs r. 0. Harvey and Sol Ca heen from the .Boart; of Trade will hold a joint meeting with J. D. Moore, George Mecleery and Herman saks as delegates from the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of determining the conditions under which the organizations would be- come affiliated
 The Chamber of Commerce suggested that this he done through a letter read before a meeting of the Board of Trade yesterday afternoon and naming it's own committee, requested that the other as- sociation Go likewise. This was put to a discussion among the members present, ard it was unanimously agreed that the chair, w. T. Cox, should select a commit tee to conter with the Chamber of Com merce agents.
 In the absence of President John l.. Parker, the vice president, w. T. Cox, pr esided ana the sesslon was called in the office of the secretary, Roy Mccullough, in the First National bank building. Routine matters of a business nature pre- ceded the action taken in regard to the proposed combine of the two commercial organizations.
 E. o. Harvey introduced motion to the effect that the Board of Trade pe,i- ton the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to have the conductors on the val ious trolley lines of the city call out the names of streets and avenues as the car approaches them. MT. Harvey oontended that if this is done it is not effectively carried out, as the conductor will stand at the rear of the car in so doing and many times. further stated Mr Harvey the passenger who is a stranger to Birmingham is taken beyond his required destination, as he trusts the conductor to inform him when the desired point is reached. The motion was second Cd and a committee composed of F. O Harvey, George McCleery and Roy Me collough was appointed 10 present the matter to President Ford of the Birmins- ham Railway.

COL. JOHNS FUNERAL
 TO BE HELD TODAY
Higher Masonic Bodies Will Conduct Ceremonies at House and at
 the Grave

The funeral of Col. L. ". Johns, who died early Sunday morning after short illness, will be held today at 1 o'clock at the family residence, "rhe Films. In West End. The interment will be made in the Woodlawn cemetery, which the cortege will reach over the troll ley line and in carriages
 The officiating ministers will be the pastors of the clutches attended by Mrs. Johns and Wallace C. Johns, the Evans of the Church of the Advent and Dr. J. s. Glasgow of the West End Methodist church. At the house the Scottish Rite Masons will conduct the Rose Croix service and Cyrene Com mandery, Knights Templar, will have a short service. The last named order will have complete charge of the ritual at the grave and lodge 79 of the Be- nevolent Order of Ell<s has been called to attend the funeral in a body. The Elks will not officiate in the last rites as the time will be consumed by the Masonic exercises.
 A special car will leave the Ma sonic temple on Sixth avenue today at noon to convey the members of the Scottish Rite commandery and Zamora temple to the home where the Elks will assemble in time for the cere- monies.
 Mrs. Kate Rosser, the daughter of Colonel Johns, who resides at Fort Myers, Fla, arrived yesterday, but his sister. Mrs. J. D. Thomas, of Wilkes Barre, Pa, is hardly expected now as it develops that her rather advanced age will hardly permit of her making the trip.

This company has ordered an especially beautiful and large flora design to be sent with the body to the cemetery.
 Carriages will leave the Johns under taking establishment at 12 o'clock to- day for the residence and all those who wish to take advantage of this are well come to do so. Two extra cars will leave Cleveland for the cemetery at 2:45 o'clock for those desiring to go to the cemetery.
