c. w. ufford. formerly one of Bir- mingham's most public spirited citi- zens, but for several years a citizen of Imperial county. California, where he owns and operates a ranch, is here on a visit of a few days. He is being cor dially greeted by his old friends.
 'It had been two years since I last visited Birmingham. and many improve ments have been made in that time, said MT Ufford. Notably among these improvements is the Tut wiler hotel, one of the finest in the United States. Birmingham seems to have recovered entirely from the recent depression which prevailed throughout the country. It looks won- derfully prosperous now"
 Imperial county, where MT. Ufford lives, is the youngest county in Cali forna. It is on the Mexican border, and is noted for its cattle grazing and dairy products. MT. Affords home is 125 miles east of San Diego.

asked where the nation will get tho
$4,000 men annually until the conti-

admits that he Is not prepared to an,
swer the question.
"If the nation requires certain serv-
ice and offers the most favorable oppor-
tunity for the citizens to furnish such
service. and, notwithstanding that, it
cannot secure such service. 1t must then
resort to some means OF compelling the
service.
with repect to the continental force
the most favorable conditions will be
provided for the citizens to enter its
service. The minimum Of time will be
required. the maximum Of compensa-
ton will be provided: and IL the volition
Of the citizen does not result in the
securing Of the needed number, there
will be a compiled demonstration Of the
inability Of any volunteer system to
produce results. 1t Is certainly not tho
sentiment Of this country today that
any such failure Ia possible. 1t Is the

ize their responsibility and duty to their
