of Best Meeting in History

Montgomery. August Especially The
annual convention OF the Chambers

has been in session for two days at Chapel
Hill church, near Buffalo, closed Sunday
evening after the most representative at
tendance in the history of the organiza-
ton.
Thirty Sunday schools of all denomina-
tions in the county We're represented in
the convention. Reports showed that dis

district and that the county retained it's
standing as a banner county of the Ala
lama Sunday School association.
The local arrangements for the conven-
fence of the delegates at the convention
were pronounced by State Secretary Pal

cannot earn net at least as much as it
did earn in the quarter which ended on
June 80
A part of these earnings no doubt re-
fleets the amazing increase in the expor-
tations of the products of this corporation.
This increase has been as striking a phe-
nomenon of American growth can he
found In our business record of the past
ten years Furthermore the fact that the
corporation was able to earn net S4l 100000
at a time coincident with the introduce
tion of new tariff bill into Congress with
some very radical reductions of rates is
to some extent good evidence that the
iron and steel industry of the United
States is not especially disturbed over the
certainty of important changes in our
tariff. There has BEEN for some time a
suspicion that the managers Of the cor
poration believe that even IL there be some
domestce business lost by importatiops
consequent upon a low tariff this loss can
be more than made good by increased ex-
portation of American iron and steel
products.

ersham felt justified in beginning this suit
The fact is, however, that Mr.. Wicker
sham looked upon the organization of the
United States Steel corporation as some
thing that was well worthy the scrutiny of
the courts and judicial Interpretation. MIR.
Understands friends say that he believed
that 1t would be better for the corporation
itself if there were final and authorita-
tive Interpretation by the courts showing
whether or not the organization was
created in violation of the Sherman law
and has been operated in violation of il.
For If in it's organization it did not vio-
late that law, then if there have been
any violations in the methods adopted by
the organization these could be remedied
without destroying the organization itself.
A Great Record
If it were possible to maintain for each
quarter hereafter the volumes of business
and the reasonable promise thereof which
are the conspicuous features of the record
for the quarter made up of the months
of April, May and June of this year, the
corporation could refer with some graft
flcation to a prediction understood to have
been made by Charles M. Schwab when
chatting with a group of friends at Palm
Beach, Fla, several years ago. MIR.
Schwab was not at that time associated
with the Steel corporation excepting as
stockholder He yentured the prediction
that If there was no more than a normal
and healthfully gradual increase of pros
perity, the corporation would be found
earning within a few years something j-
excess of $500, 100000 a year net Mr.
Schwab is also reported to have said that
Notwithstanding these great earnings
there would be business enough in the
United States and in the way of for
eign trade for every one of the well or
ganized and sllillfully conducted iron and
steel companies of this country.
The latest report of net earnings for the
last two spring months and the first of
the summer of this year gives figures
which If maintained throughout the year
will make 1t possible for the corporation
to report net earnings of about $3.50 900, 000.
Until the various adverse influences, po-
1itical and financial, are ended 1t is not to
be presumed that the corporation can
count upon as greata earnings as those
made in the latest quarter reported.
But the statistics are looked upon here
as furnishing fairly good evidence of what
can be done when business passes out of
the somewhat foggy Cr chaotic conditions
which have prevailed and to some extent
don now prevail. There is no reason TO
suppose that this corporation in normal
times and in sympathy with gradual and
healthful increase of American business

great question is-"Who will VIM"
OF course. the citizens are interested
In the gubernatorial campaign. But
unlike other cities, the local spirit of
enthusiasm is not confined to any one
field For Tuscaloosa has on it's hands
the necessity not only of electing a
governor and a lieutenant governor,
but also a congressman, certain coun-
ty officials and a new president of
the municipal government
Although Lieut. Gov. Walter d. Seed
is a candidate for governor, the Cit
liens of Tuscaloosa are more deeply
interested in the congressional cam
paign than in any other. This is due
to the fact that one of its citizens is
of success. And Tuscaloosa, though the
largest and perhaps the most inluen-
tial city of the Sixth district, hasn't had
a congressman in the memory of the
present generation.
Enthusiastic for Oliver

Buck Oliver, one of the best known and
most popular men of the state. He was
until recently dean of the law depart
ment of the University of Alabama
Prior to that time he practiced law in
all the courts of all the counties of
the district and served, at one time, as
district solicitor. His opponent is Will

Oliver partisans contend that their can

sweep Tuscaloosa county and while
Bankhead will probably carry more
counties than those conceded to him
now by oliver supporters, it is certain
that the Tuscaloosa candidate will
make a fine showing in every county.

First Borns Blood Protected


Let us not fail to note that the divine
favor toward the first born of Israel was
not without blood. Indeed, as st. Paul
points out, the whole lesson of the Old
Testament Scriptures is that without the
shedding of blood there is no remission"
OF sins By divine command, the Israel
ties indicated their faith in the Lord by
taking a lamb of the first year without
spot, killing it and sprinkling its blood
upon the door posts and lntels of their
houses, and eating the flesh within.
AS the Passover was typical, so were
the lamb and the sprinkled blood The
lamb represented Jesus, the Lamb of God.
His death was not foc His own sins, but
for the sins of humanity. 1t is equally
important to notice that Christ died not
merely for the church, but, as the Scrip
lures declare for the sins of the whole
world HE is the propitiation tsatisfac-
tom for our (the church's) sins, and not
for ours only. but also for the sins of the
whole world"
The church is passed over in this night,
especially saved In advance of the others.
through the merit of the blood. That the
blood covers more than the first borns is
shown by the fact that in the type IT was
sprinkled mot merely upon the first borns,
but also upon the house, as indicating The
household Of faith.

SAWTELLE BACK
 ON ARMS CASES
His Decision on DemurrerS Will Be Given Monday and Will Decide Future Status of Cases-AleXan- der Case First

On his return yesterday morning from San Francisco, Federal Judge w H. Sawtene of the Arizona dis trct, went immediately into cham bers to study the demurrers filed in tho famous munitions of war cases, ard by tthe time this is read his honor will probably have determined in his own mind whether or not the alleged shippers of arms are to be tried on the direct. charge or not. IT the demurrers are sustained. the cases will be thrown out, and if the domurrers are overruled, then the cases will come to trial-and that at once.
 Only one case has been set before tl.at of the accused arms smugglers and shfppers-the J. B. Alexander case. in which the charge is making false returns to the government It is probable that this case will be tried beginning Monday. afternoon. Immediately on the heels of the Alex aEder case come those of the indicted Phelps Dodge men. the Douglas Hard ware company. SteinfeId of Tucson, Krakauer, Fork X Move of Fl Paso, and the shelton Payne Arms com pany. There are also several indl- viduaI defendants. who will come un- der the classification.
 The important part of the whole story is that chapter which deals with the present demurrers. On the decision of Judge Sawtelle in this matter, will be founded the govern ment"s further action. It is not like Iy the district attorney will pursue the cases further if the demuTrers to the present indictments are sustained.
 With Judge Sawtelle on his return from San Francisco were Attorney General c. P. Bullard and Clerk C. W. Lewis of the United States court

 This company is working on sever al other articles which will be manu- factured in this local plant, and as soon as perfected will buy the nc 2 cossary machinery for making them in large quantities.

 Although incorporated only short time ago, the Phoenix Manufacturing company has done good work. and this concern which is just in it's in fancy promises to develop into iarge manufacturing company which will mean another industry for Phoenix. Its own corrugated iron factory which is already equipped with the necessary machinery for making the above mentioned articles. will be enlarged as soon as the out put will warrant.
 The following have been elected as officers for the ensuing year: Adolph Schreck, president: J. A Langston. vice president; Martin McCauley, secretary and O. A Kane, general manager.

When to Cut Alfalfa.
By II. A. IRELAND

Although alfalfa is probably grown
more generally than any other CROP
in Canyon County, | find great var
lance in the opinions of the growers
in regard to the time at which IT
should be cut for hay. Presumably
there is one best time TO cut it-one
stage at which it makes hay of bet
ter quality than when cut at any other
stage. If that is true, then those
who cut it at any other stage, whether
Intentionally or otherwise, are making
a mistake.
More than a month ago | observed
the first alfalfa cut this season, and
at the present time, June %, there
is still considerable of the first crop
uncut. Certainly some fields made an
earlier start and consequently reached
the hay-making stage sooner than
others, but that does not account
wholly for the difference in time Of
cutting. Some like to cut when the
first bloom appears, others express
the opinion that some seed should be
formed, while still others do net pay
much attention to the bloom, but look
rather for the beginning of the sec
ond growth from the crowns. In some
cases, at least, the latter method is !
the better because alfalfa that is
very thick or that has had much water
will often not put out much bloom un-
til it is past the stage for making the
best quality of hay.
About the only advantage in late
cutting is that one gets greater to-
tai yield of hay, and the disadvantage
much more than offsets this. Some of
the advantages in early cutting-that
is, in cutting as soon as the second
growth appears or when the alfalfa
is not over one-tenth in bloom are
these; First, the early cut hay has an
actually higher feeding value, aside
from the smaller proportion of waste
due to coarse, woody stems: second,
the leaves are not lost to as great an
extent as by late cutting, which, when
we remember that 40 pounds of
leaves contain nearly the same a
mount of nutriment as 100 pounds of
stems. is seen to be an important
third, the following
crop starts more quickly and makes
better growth; and fourth, noxious {
weeds are, to greater extent, pre- $
vented from seeding. I
OF course it is not always possible,
On account of weather, other work r
that has to be done, ETC., to cut just L
At the proper time Because of this, +
where one has considerable acreage, p
{ may be necessary TO begin cutting S
slightly before the crop is at the pro- v
per stage, as otherwise the bulk of the
,rop may be too far advanced before
he mower reaches it, and an inferior
grade of hay will be the result. |,
