TALKS ON THRIFT
Who Carries the Load?

James Smith was taken sick and lost the use of his right arm. He had a wife and four children dependent upon him. and for year he was out Of work and faced starvation. He lived in a modest frame cottage and his rent was s16 a month. He had no money laid away when he was taken sick, and only because the landlord was kindly in- clined did he have roof over his head Neighbors and friends helped him, and somehow he pulled through that dreary year.
 The landlord was not a wealthy man he only looked so. He was property poor" He owned about 15 houses, and owing to depreciation in real estate values and general business stagna- and lived on his rents. He was. on a larger scale, in almost as bad condi- tion as his tenant.
 For two years he paid no interest on the mortgage on Smiths house and the taxes were in arrears for over three years. A savings bank held the mort gage. and was as patient with the landlord as the landlord was with smith. Therefore the owner of the house was not Smiths benefactor, but the bank. The bank carried the load which the sickness of Smith brought to the landlord. and that is what banks are for.
 Likewise in the matter of taxes. The city paid it's bills from tax money gath cred from property owners like the landlord. But when Smith paid no rent and the landlord paid no taxes, the row until the landlord paid up. And so another bank came to the rescue and saved both Smith and his land lord.
 We owe a great deal to banks They carry many a load the public never sees. They ease the jars of life. They furnish the steam to keep the engine running. We could not get along with out them
 Some day you may be out of work and unable to pay your rent. As home owner you may get behind in your taxes: but remember, somebody through the medium of a bank, comes to the rescue and carries your load when you can't carry it yourself When in good health, why not appreciate these facts, and when your load is easy help carry someone elses load by banking your money where 1t will, in a quiet and unassuming way. do some good to somebody besides yourself
 To be ready to meet your rainy day you must spend less than you earn. The sky may look very blue and the clouds very far away. but be assured that il will rain sometime, and if your day. are not rainy ones, someone is out ir the storm somewhere, and the bank will carry for you the load that comes to the thrifty as we'll as the spendthrift for storms are no respecters of per. sons.

SOUTH ALAbAMA|S IS MENLY ALERT ID JACKSON HIGHWAY Spirited Rivalry in Various Counties to Secure the
 Official Route MUCH TO BE DONE
 ON CERTAIN ROADS Chairman Thomas w. Sims Makes the Trip From Montgomery to Mobile
 by Automobile and Meets
 Various Officials
Hx I.s. RrrrY

Mobile October 19.-tSpecial)--I the cit izens of central and north Alabama are as determined to secure the Jackson high way as are the people living in this part of the state there Is hardly a doubt but that the southern part of the route will be awarded to Alabama.
 This conviction was reached by the writer during an automobile trip from Montgomery to Mobile last week Citizens living along the proposed route all mani fested the keenest possible interest in the Jackson highway, and indicated their determination to use every effort to SC !. cure the road. Many localities, in their enthusiasm over the project, had put up sign posts along the road designating 1t as "The Jackson Highway"
 The proposed route from Mobile to Montgomery leads through Mobile, Wash ington, Clarke, Marengo, Dallas and Lowndes counties, and takes in such fiourishing towns as Jackson, Thomas vile, Selma and Lowndesboro. Other towns between Mobile and Montgomery are making strenuous efforts to secure the highway, but it is doubtful. owing to the impa stability of certain roads leading to them, if they will be successful
 And for that matter, neither will certain towns designated for the route secure the highway unless some very great im- provements are made at certain places. The highway through Dallas Lowndes and Montgomery counties. as may be known, already resembles a boulevard. there being about 70 miles of as improved roads as can be found in Alabama But there are certain stretches of road in Clarke and Washington counties which are hopelessly inadequate for transporta- ton purposes.
 Ferry in Bad Condition
 The ferry at Jackson. leading across the Tombigbee river, is perhaps the worst ferry in Alabama. The approach to it from the clarke county side. particularly in rainy seasons, Is so muddy that 1t is almost impossible for an automobile to reach 1t. Even worse conditions are to be found on the opposite, or Washington county side. Here the climb up the em- bankment is not only slippery, but ex- tremely hazardous. Unless a more mod ern ferry is provided at Jackson the cti- zens of south Alabama must entertain little hopes of securing the big highway.
 There are other places in Washington

The carni- val companyswill open tonight and the Pinehill Dramatic club will give a per formance.

and Clarke counties. and also in Mobile
 where many Improvements must be made. In Marengo county. where a big strip Of the highway is being sought. only im- provements of the most advanced nature must be made if the road shall lead through that county. Linden, the county seat. has high hopes of securing the high way, but 1t Is exceedingly doubtful if Linden will realize her dreams. for the road proposed, covering a stretch of many miles, is practically impa ssable. How ever Marengo county, as Is known, has recently embarked upon a road building campaign of wide scope. having voted a bond issue of about $200. 900. and if suf ficient guarantee is offered then Linden,
 after all, may secure tho highway. Sims Makes the Trip
 The trip from Montgomery to Mobile
 was made in company with Thomas w. Sims. chairman of the state board of equalization, and II. R. Spangler of the
 governors office. Chairman Sims made
 the trip principally for the purpose of fa-
 mi'jarizing himself with conditions in
 south Alabama. He conferred with vari-
 ous officials at the county seats through
 which he passed.
 "The Jackson highway will be a great
 thing for south Alabama" Mr Sims told
 hundreds of citizens with whom he talked. But many great road Improvements
 must be made, or guaranteed, in order 60 secure the highway"
 Chairman Sims was greatly pleased with conditions in south Alabama He found few complaints of hard times and saw many striking evidences of prosperity

AFTER TEN YEARS
 SURRENDERS WIFE
 AS TOO BEAUTIFUL

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
 Chicago. Ill.-Beautiful women arc entitled to beautiful surroundings As Senator James Hamilton Lewis once said "The jewel must have it's setting, the rose must have It's perfume, the masterpiece must have it's frame The world must have its beautiful women. with their gowns and Jewels and expen- sive hats and tidy shoes and soft at tentions."
 1t Is not known whether or not John r. Suits approves of Senator Lewis political beliefs, but he gives his un- qualified apparoval to the senator's ideas about beautiful women and their settings
 Suits expressed this approval when he filed suit for divorce in the circuit aried clerk, and that Is what Suits is. too beautiful to be the wife of sal aries clerk, and that is what Suits is.
 Suits has come to realize. he says. aft CT 10 years of hard efforts to support an extremely beautiful woman in the "correct setting that 1t cant be done on $t00 a month.
 Mrs. Suits made up her mind on that score two years ago, when she left her husband and decided to support herself on her musical talents. Suits struggled for two years to get enough money to entice his beautiful wife back again. And now come the divorce proceedings

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Dr Edmonds' Theology

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In your Sunday edition read of the proposed charges against pr. Henry M. Edmonds of the South Highland Presbyterian church
 Heresy or some similar charge was the accusation brought against Christ by the elders of Israel at Jerusalem.
 Why? Because Christs simple doc Urine did not conform to their man made theology, and to their expecta- tlon of material gain and power to be conferred upon the Jewish nation, of which these same elders--Pharisees- were the spiritual and political leaders. Do you wonder then that the 'church polite" or it's politicians assail simple universal doctrine as preached by one of Christ's humble servants.
 Theological politicians cannot sur vive without the net work of theology church law and denominational jeal- ousies which can never be charged to Christ
 If a man walk humbly with God. can he possibly deny any of Gods laws or promises? Does it not mean accepting and conforming to all Gods require ments? To do justly. to love mercy and to walk humbly with God are surely the sum and substance of the life of Christ.
 Let us hope that the north Alabama presbytery will consider well before embarrassing or hindering the work of Gods servant. who Is teaching men to walk humbiy with God, and to deal justly and mercifully with mankind. Yours, $. S. HEIDE.

The poor drug clerk was forced to realized that his salary was insufficient to support his charming wife in the way she deserved. He knew $i200 d year was not enough to put his wife in the cir cles of society which her beauty war ranted, so he finally made up his mind not to be a drag to her any longer. He decided to get divorce. that she might be free to climb to the highest pinnacles of her ambition. He would hold her back no more.
 The bill declares Mrs. Suits Is fully cognizant of her charms both a musician and beauty, and aspires to a superior station in life to that of the wife of a salaried clerk"

The Demand Falls Off for Canned Fruits for Export
 to Foreign Countries
COAST SLOW TO FEEL
 EFFECT OF CONFLICT
Cattle Industry of Far West Has Also Suffered Because Sufficient Yes sels Cannot be Secured
 for Export Trade
By HOLLAND

New York. October 19.-(Special.> >--Some of those who have now returned from their excursion to the Pacific coast and who took advantage of the opportunity which the visit offered to gain informa- tion respecting the business and finan- cial conditions. particularly in California. have brought back an interesting and all most paradoxical statement. They learn ed that the effect of the European war, which was felt immediately after the war began upon the Atlantic coast and the midwest. was not observed in Cali fornia until shortly after the opening of the exposition. The depressing influence occs stoned by the war appears to have spread slowly westward until at last 1t has reached the Pacific coast. It has been especially harmful in the fruit growing districts of California.
 When it is recalled that for several years the money value of California s fruit harvest has been approximately sio- 000.00O each year, then some idea can be obtained of the demoralization to that .n- dustry which the European war has caused California since her fruit indus try was so finely developed has exported large amounts of fruits, particularly dried and canned fruits. Almost all the fresh fruits are marketed in the United States. A large and rapidly increasing export business of California's fruits has formed one of the chief features of California 8 agricultural industry and foreign trade.
 The presumption was strong last fall CT in the early winter that the war might lead to a larger demand than ever for California fruit, canned preserved ana dried. But to the astonishment and dis may of the fruit growers no demand has been made. California's fruit was unsur- passed this year in quality and quantity. In normal times it would have represent ed from $36,O00, 600 to s40,000,O GOO Upon re- turns of this kind no small part of the prosperity of California, and especially southern California. depended This year the fruit has either remained untouched or as it has fallen to the ground has been fed to the hogs. When the farmers ap- piled to the canneries so that they might learn what to expect in the way of sales they were told that the canneries had already on hand a considerable part of the fruit that was grown last year.
