TALKS ON THRIFT
Our Bright Future

America faces a future that is

Not in ashundred years has the sun
of a New Years Day shone on such
scenes Of sorrow and desolation as
Europe presents at this time, 4
BUT, never has a year been usheret
in more, auspiciously for the future
prosperity and happiness of the peo-
pie of the United States of America.
Ought we not to rejoice, one and
all, that our lot is cast in such a land
as this and do all in our power to
keep Our country prosperous. and at
peace with the world?
The principal job ahead Of the peo-
pie of the United States just nowiiS to
save money, as has been very truly
said. For 125 years we have Dor
rowed money from Europe. We cant
do so any longer. Europe isn't going
to have any money to lend. When
we wanted to build the Rock Island
railroad we borrowed the money from
Holland. When we wanted to develop
the Anaconda mine we borrowed from
the same place. When we wanted to
improve the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco we borrowed from France. For
other railroads and other improve
ments we borro wed from England and
from Germany. For the future"
says Golfers Weekly, "if we want to
build more railroads or electric plants,
or develop mor mines, we must sup
ply the money from u oWa pockets
or go without. The one, great neces-
sity put upon us by the war, the big
gest economic need in America today,
is to save money"
Some of Il largest employers are
realizing this and urging it upon their
employees. Just before Christmas
every one of the 700 men whose bust
ness it is to assist in the actual max
ing Of flour at one of the big mills in
Minneapolis received. in his pay check
a gift of $25. 1t is a part of the
Minneapolis company's profit-sharing
scheme. The only String tied to the
gift is that the employees must open a
savings account il some bank. In this
way the company is giving more than
so many dollars, 1t is giving the gift
of thrift.
Even if you have never saved be
fore, you ought to save in this new
year because the probable rewards of
thrift were never greater than they
are likely to be from this time on for
many years.
The world responsibility thrown
upon the United States imposes adul-
tfonal responsibility On each individ-
ual citizen to build up capital bv saw
ing and depositing in the banks SO
that this capital can be quickly put
into the channels of industry and
trade.
We, the everyday men aid women,
are the backbone of this country. and
it is upon our savings that the United
States must depend for it's future pros
perity. Let us economize! Let us
save! Let us do our share in making
this country the great financial power
of the world.
Our millions Of workers a do this
not the capitalists.-T. ID. MacGregor.

clark's Following.
The position within the Democratic
party to the denomination of Presi-
dent Wilson appears to be crystalliz-
ing around Champ Clark, speaker of
the House of Representatives, whose
friends have always insisted mat he
vas entitled to the nomination at the
Baltimore convention, where he re-
ceived a majority of the votes cast
in the convention on repeated ballots
and finally failed of the nomination
because of his inability to obtain two
thirds of the delegates.
Mr.. Clark Is not discussing presi-
dental booms. The last word from
him on the subject was his remark in
the House that if President Wilson
made a good President nobody could
defeat linn for the nomination, and If
he made a bad President the Demo-
cratic nomination would not be worth
having.
There is a lurking suspicion in the
minds of many Of Speaker Clark's fol-
lowers that William ]: Bryan expects
TO .be the legatee of President Wilson
in the campaign of 1916, and that at
the proper time this will be made
clear by the President voluntarily

WHAT ARE THE SLkHS?

Among the picturesque native Indi-
an troops which England has brought
into the firing line to strengthen the
forces of the Allies, are the Sikhs.
They are adherents of the Sikh reli.
gion, found principally in the Pun
jab. the United Provinces, Kashmir,
and other parts of northern India.
THE word Sikh" says the Encyclo.
paedia Britannica, literally means
learner disciple and was the name
given by the first guru Naaak to his
followers. The Sikhs are divided in.
to two classes, Sahijdhari and Kesad.
hari. The former were so named
from living at ease and the latter
from wearing long hair. Both, obey
the general injunctions of the Sikh
gurus, but the Sahijdhari Sikhs have
not accepted the 'ahul' or baptism of
Guru Govind Singh, and do not wear
the distinguishing habiliments Of the
kesadhari, who are the baptized
Sikhs, also called Singhs or lions.
Their distinguishing habiliments are
long hair wound round a small dagger
and bearing a comb Inserted in it,
q oICCl dCClct anu SuOlI drawers.
Neither the Sahijdhari nor the Ke-
sadhari Sikhs may smoke tobacco or
drink wine. The prohibition of wine
is, however, generally disregarded, ex-
cent 10y very orthodox Sikhs.
"A man is not born a Singh, but be.
comes so bv baptism, the water of
which is called 'amrit,' or nectar. 1t
is possible that n brother may he a
Hindu, while another is a true Sikh.
4 "The Sikh is a fighting man, and his
best qualities are shown in the army,
which is his natural profession. Hardy.
brave. and slow-witted. obedient to
discipline, attached to his officers, he
makes sthe. finest soldier of the East.
In victory he retains his s:eadi1ess.
and in defeat he will die at his post
rather than yield. In peace time he
shows a decided fondness for money,
and will go wherever it is to be earn
ed. There are some 10000 Sikhs in
the Indian army. and the sect is cher
fshed by the military authorities, who
insist on all recruits taking the pa
hull of Sikh baptism"

MARKET CLOSES
 1 OFF ID Z UP NET Bullish Sentiment Strong Enough to Offset Effect
 of Favorable Reports

New Orleans, June 16.-Bullish senti- ment was strong enough to offset the eff feet of favorable weekly weather, and crop reports from the government in the cotton market today. In the early trading prices were at decline, but after the reports were out there was slow but steady improvement, the market finally working to points over the final figures of yesterday and closing l off to up net.
 The official review of crop conditions for the last week was fully as favorable as expected. In the early trading prices went to ' points under yesterdays close on selling for both accounts in preparation for a bearish showing No pronounced selling followed the reading of reviews. Bulls made much of the mention of dam age by heat and drouth in portions of the Atlantics and the market gradually did better.

 WEDDING OCCURS

One of the most beautiful June we'd dngs was that of MT. Reuben Presley Thornton and Mss Helen Chandler White, which was solemnized at 6:3O O clock at the home of the brides parents, Hon. and Mrs. D. M. White, at Goodwater.
 The home was decorated for the occasion and the double parlors where the cere- mony was performed were made beaut- ful with palms, ferns and pink and white hydrangeas, lighted with pink and white candles.
 Previous to the ceremony, musical pro- gramme was rendered. The Mendelssohn wedding music heralded the comng of the bridal party. The ushers were Hulen Thornton, E. s. Pittman and c. Thornton Buchanan.
 Mir. Clayton W. Buchanan, a cousin of the groom, attended him as best man. Dr. s. H. Barrett of Jacksonville officiated the ring ceremony being used.
 Miss Pauline White was maid of honor. The bridesmaids were Miss Louise Glenn of Sylcauga, Miss Rebecca Thornton of Tallapoosa, Ga., and Miss Banyle Besor of Montgomery.

 The bride, who came in with her maid of honor. wore travelling suit of blue with lace blouse and hat to match. Her flowers were brides roses and lilies of the valley.
 The maids were all gowned in white crepe de chine and chantilly lace, with girdles of pink satin. They wore dainty pink and white Dutch caps the gift of the bride, and carried Killarney roses. Little Miss McLeoud, who bore the ring in the heart of a pink rose. was dainty in white lingerie with pink ribbon.

 Even a reduction of more than lo,oo'oc bushels in the worlds visible supply had no supporting influence on wheat after prices began to fall. About the only active demand was from
 short sellers, who were taking profits. Corn weakened with heat, and as a re- suit of better weather for shippers in
 Argentine, and for growth in the United States
 Oats ruled steadier than corn, as ex- perts were of the opinion that the recent Missouri-Illinois drouth had inflicted much

While the days business was not large, stocks were put out steadily enough to force a progressive de- cline. amounting to point or more in long list of stocks.

New York, June 16.-The cotton mar ket was rather nervous today New crop positions showed tendency to rally from the sharp break of yester- day but near months encountered fur ther liquidation by July longs and the close prices were barely steady net g points lower to points higher. Indifferent Liverpool cables, a gen. erally satisfactory weather map and expectations of bearish weekly re- port from the weather bureau encour- aged renewal of yesterdays selling movement at the opening. First prices
 were 8 to points lower in conse-
 quence, but offerings were well taken and houses with foreign connections and local spot interests appeared to be buying July.
 Some of the July buyers were sell CTS on new crop months, but brokers who had July selling orders were buy CTS of December and the general list
 rallied from the lowest on covering in advance of the weekly bureau. This. re- port read about as expected so far as the summary was concerned but the
 state details appeared rather less fa- vorable than local shorts had expected and new crop months sold about to 6 points net higher during the early aft ernoon.
 Old crop positions rallied to about a

After the Big League-What? !? rom tba Donttlor Ma uo gina


 There has been good deal of mis- placed sympathy showered on fading baseball stars by sentimentally inclined folks. The old stars do not go into re- tirement weeping and mourning, though, of course, they and their friends are re- gretful. They have been aware for two or three years that they were slipping. and have realized the inevitable. Most of them have entered the game for the love of it. It has prolonged their boyhood for decade or more They know that when they bid adieu to the big ring they can. if they desire. continue in baseball many more years in the lesser leagues. Man agerial berths are open to many. and they may rise to the majors again in that ca- pacity. as did Hughie Jennings, George Stallings. Connie Mack and Charles Com- iskey, all of whom were major stars, man. aged in the minors, and then acquired emi hence as big league pilots. Players who have been as wise in business ways as they have been baseballically, have laid away enough dollars to keep away the wolf for a lifetime. a la Willie Keeler, Cy Young, Mathewson and others. If they are well educated. they can enter some high class profession or business, as did Dave F'ultz and J. Garland Stahi. No. the old stars do not need sentimentalities when they wane. If they are worthy men. they go to a worthy future New stars are constantly coming up. The old ones are interested in them. and glad to know that they are to have capable suc- cessorS when they leave

Wholesalers along Morris avenue are optimistic in expressions concerning the business outlook for the season. They state that the melon and fruit shipments are coming in nicely and that the supply is met with constant 1y increasing demand. Home raised veg etables are also in abundance on the Birmingham market, while Florida, Georgia and Mississippi shippers con- tribute largely to the supply.
 The feed and grain dealers are also we'll supplied. Mississippi and Alabama hay is in great abundance in Birming- ham, and large shipments are re- ceived regularly. The home grown hay is of excellent quality, the pea green alfalfa being especially esteemed. Prices on most commodities remain un- changed.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 16.-(Special )-Cabies were about as due this morning, but our market opened slightly lower under continued liquidation in the July posi- tfon. Recent sellers bought back some of the cotton which they had liquidated, steadying the fall months and causing a slight advance, which, however. did not help after the weekly weather report had been published, which was more favor able than had been anticipated.
 In the late afternoon there was more liq- uidation of near months, closing the market around the opening prices.
 Good rains have fallen in the Atlantic states. sufficient to generally break the drouth, and the crop in that section is re- ported as showing great improvement.
 The rains in Texas and Oklahoma were also of benefit after clear. warm weather, and general rain over the state would probably be beneficial. although continued rains again in that section would quickly cause an advance in the market
 The July situation is an unfavorable feature. as theer is apparently large out standing long interest which must be liqui- dated, and this. together with continued good weather, may bring lower prices tenn porarily.
