The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-24

Plans for the next annual session of the Bible training school of the Birmingham Sunday School association are rapidly
 maturing and it is promised by those in charge that a very attractive programme will be ready for presentation when the first session is called 10 order in the First will last through November 5.
 Dr. Dunbar Ogden of Atlanta is one of the more prominent speakers on the programme as now arranged. and Is scheduled to deliver 10 addresses during the week. He is considered one of the best inspirational speakers in the south, and has many friends in Birmingham. As now arranged, the programme pro- vides the following series of addresses for the opening period each afternoon. Seekers After Souls;" 'The Supremacy of Jesus:" "The Olive Tree That God Planted" "A Plea for Spiritual Free dom;' 'The Kingdom of Heaven"
 The night session topics for the week opportunity of strengthening New York at the expense of London.
 But after the last gold piece has been squeezed out of London, Paris and Pe- trograd-and 1t should be remembered that there are still many millions of gold in the allies coffers-there is the question of a loan. This question, how ever, should come up only when it is ab- solutely certain that no more gold is ob- tainable. And above all no loan should be acceptable at less than per cent Indeed, per cent could be obtained quite easily. My reasons for saying this are quite simple.
 It should be realized that the allies are not buying anything from the United States that they can buy elsewhere. The fact that the United State stands to and is benefting out of the war, com paratively speaking, and will, at the close of the war, be the only actually solvent great power, is worrying the allies al- most as much as is the course of the struggle. And they are leaving no stones unturned to see that the United States benefits as little as possible. All the talk about an adverse exchange and demand for bullion payment driving bus hess away from the United States is rot, because, if the allies want to con- tinue the war, they must continue their large purchases in the United States. Uncle Sam is selling vital necessities, not luxuries to the allies. If the same ma terials could have been obtained in Cam ada. Australia, Argentine or elsewhere the orders would have gone to those coun- tries many months ago.

from your city but one wish to
thank you for the grcae work you are
doing for the farmers. | think the

cd is The greatest medium through
which to advertise that | ever saw"
The above notice rcacheds the bu-
reau OH March Is from farmer
near Chcraw. 4 farmer from Lexing-
ton writes:
IL am greatly interested in your
work. and think it a great thing for
cur people if they will only make use
OF it,"
These are but samples OF letters
that now reach the State bureau OF
marketing in amosi every mail. The
bureau is called upon to conduct
transactions from such as three
thousand bushels OF corn or one hun.
drcd tons of hay OH down to flower
bulbs. and almost every other thing
| that enters intA the economy of ~
farm or mercantile business. During
the present season thAcnorts of the
bureau several distributing houses in
the State have been enabled to get
good, pure home raised corn and up
to the present time have not bought
for distribution one pound of Wes-
tern corn, something that has never
happened before since they have been
lin business.
Again the bureau would admonish
all citizens OF the State making use
of its services that 1t is strict re-
quircment in making offerings or in
expressing wants that they shall state
clearly tic exact amount offered for
sale Or wanted, and if for sale the
price at which the offer is made, and
whether that price be +. o. Il. or de-
livercd. The bureau would also again
impress upon all such the absolute
necessity Of filling in and mailing the
return post card when goods have
been sold or purchases have been
made, in order that the calls may be
eliminated from the record. 1t is 10
be hoped that these requirements will
be strictly complied with in the fu-
ture. If they are not, sometimes the
listing of articles offered FOR sale is
unnecessarily delayed for Il whole
week.
During the week just closed the ac-
tivitics uf the bureau have been va
ricd and numerous and the offerings
have been plentiful. Among the Of
ferings and wants not yet disposed of
for the week may be mentioned the
following:
