church vestry and in the new room in the
basement for the mems class; to refinish the
primary room, to buy chairs for the vestry to
replace the settles, to provide screens so that
each class in the Sunday school may be sep

the church at the annual meeting in Deem
Der and left with the board of assessors to act
upon. The work will begin at once.

Kinds and McGillicuddy ir the negative.
This was the second defeat for the suf-

There is no class of people who receive
ers. In the main this advice is we'll
meant; some of it is practical, some non
sensical, and some not wholly disinter-
ested. 1t is easy enough for those who
have never driven COW to pasture, held
pillow Or turned grindstone to tell the
farmer how to become millionaire; how
to grow pineapples in northern New Eng
land and cabbages in the tropics; or how
to produce on a rocky hillside farm a
maximum yield at a minimum cost. The
hard working, hard-headed farmer, who
has grown up on the farm from bare
footed boy accepts such advice at its real
value, and as to really useful suggestions
gladly follows them when able to do so,
which is not always the case. Under
draining, heavy fertilizing, up to-date
implements and machinery call for cash
OUTLAWS beyond the means of many
farmers. Transportation and market
conditions are factors to be reckoned
with, but are often overlooked by the
farmers well-meaning but poorly in
formed advisers. The fact is, farming
is like every other business and profess
sion. Some fail and others succeed; and
SO it will continue to be. The Agricul-
tural colleges and the Grange are making
success easier and failures fewer, but
there will be rich farmers and poor
farmers-poor in pocket and results-as
long as the earth is titled.

what it was done for.

The horrors of the European war were
eclipsed for time by the earthquake
which devastated Italy last week, the de-
tails of which are heart-rending. Nine
ty per cent of the people in the earth
quake zone were killed, and the survivors
were left shelterless and destitute in
bitter weather. In one town with pop
ulation of 2, 500, 1000 were dead. Later
shocks after the first drove people in
terror from buildings in which they had
taken refuge. In some cases the living
were found buried in ruins with the dead.
The extent of country thus devastated,
the many thousands left destitute, the
thousands more who persisted and are to
be given burial, make the work of rescue
and relief necessarily slow and difficult
The conditions in Italy are even worse
than they were in Belgium after the
German hosts had trampled her crops
under the feet of men and horses, burn
ed the villages and devoured the sub
stance of her people.

Warning On the Hookworm

In helping to eradicate the hook worm disease the Rockefeller foun- dation has a tremendous task before it, but the work is already well under way as indicated by report recently made public. The average person does not realize the extent of terri tory in which the hookworm flour ishes. The infection circles the globe in a zone on both sides of the equator 66 degrees wide and with a popula- ton of about 9OO,OOO,OOO. In British Guinea, Trinidad, St. Lucia, Grenada and Egypt the work of controlling the disease is now going on. In ad- dition to the British colonies, the foundations international health commission has acted favorably on requests for aid received from sev- eral Central American countries, in- cluding Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Guatemala.
 In the southern states the cam paign against the hookworm has at tracted much attention. It is not the intention of the commission to rid the affected regions of the hookworm disease, but to demonstrate first the presence of the disease and then to show the best methods of treatment and prevention. The communities aided will be expected to carry on the work for themselves, as it will take both time and patience to achieve any lasting results.
 The most important factor is the prevention of soil pollution, which is the only way of avoiding recurrence of hookworm disease. The great work already accomplished by the Rockefeller foundation is chiefly i'm portant because it has taught af- flicted communities how to combat the hookworm. If they do not control the infection in the future it will be their own fault. Permanent organi- cations and concerted effort will be

berth and devote his whole strength to farm work.
 And did he but realize it, this youth has discovered the panacea for most of the trouble in the world-work. The man who works hard and long, not only has little time in which to get into evil ways, but his work-the regularity of his occupation--is dis cipline and protection. There. is no better way to overcome grief and dis appointment than by concentrating the mind on toil
 Young Jones has chosen wise course, one which if followed by many another boy, would lessen the sin and misfortune in the world. He is learn ing the lesson which Ruskin so re- sets forth in his essay, "Blessed Be Drudgery."

Good Roads Convention

It is believed that the nineteenth annual session of the Alabama Good Roads association, which will be held in Birmingham, October 12 and 13, will be largely attended.
 The Jefferson County Good Roads association will be the host, and every effort is being made to insure pleas ant as well as a profitable visit for the large number of delegates who will be present. Requests were sent out to 67 probate judges to appoint b delegates from each of the coun- ties and replies are being received rapidly.
 The 55 county and district good roads associations in the state will probably send at least 800 delegates, the Farmers Union of Alabama about 300 and "A commercial organizations in the state approximately another 300. There will also be delegates from the Alabama Rural Letter Car riers association, State Federation of Labor, United Mine Workers, Ala bama Retail Merchants association, Rotary clubs and other civic so- cieties. The large crowd of delegates already assured and the distinguished speakers who will be on the pro- gramme will make the forthcoming convention great success
 The question of good roads is one that does not permit of any argu- ment. It is unqualifiedly a good thing. The whole nation has been aroused to the importance of better roads and the enthusiasm shown for the work in Alabama is being dupli- cated in many other parts of the country. The south has been deplor- ably backward in this respect, but is now thoroughly awake and in short space of time tremendous progress has been made.

Hats were at first worn in Japan for decoration, but they are now regarded as useful adiuncts to dress and all kinds are in vogue. according to a Japanese magazine. The soft felt is most popular, while in summer 1t is said that Panama hats and straws are as common in Tokyo as in London and in New York. How ever, the Japs who have adopted foreign clothes to a considerable extent, are not particular about being stylish. They make little distinction between clothes deemed suitable for morning wear in the western hemisphere and attire reserved for afternoon and evening. The average Japanese who owns frock coat makes 1t last lifetime and top hat, no matter how anclent. is considered quite good enough fer all formal occa sions The foreign visitor who attends public cere- mony is struck by the variety of head gear to be seen. There will be all styles of silk hats, from the first make to the letest London creation. Finger rings are also coming into fashion, and' seal rings are much affected, although the real gentleman does not consider them in good taste.

The Humble Friend

Who would not give much for a faithful friend-the kind that re- mains true through good times and misfortunes, even unto the last hour ?
 Such friendship is not uncommon throughout the world, and it is not confined to human beings. The lower animals frequently display an affection and fidelity that almost lifts them from the class of beasts. Especially is this true of the dog.
 The other day in western city an automobile, driven by reckless joy riders, ran over little shaggy dog. The auto whirled on, with only jolt to mark the passing of the little ami mals life.
 The occupants of the car gave no heed-not even backward glance to the little furry form that lay crushed and bleeding upon the pavement. Not even a policeman bothered to move it from out the way of passersby. The little dog must have been a waif, for no one claimed or grieved over its loss.
 No one?
 No, the little creature was mourned by his playmate, another little hairy dog, who stood guard over the body, like sentinel of death. When even motor or other vehicle approached this dog lifted its sorrowful gaze, as if pleading that the little dead part ner be not disturbed in its final sleep. For hours the lonely mourner stood guard. Finally a tender hearted ob- server carried the body and gently placed it on the green grass in the parking along the street.
 Here again the lonely vigil was re- stunned, and when the darkness of night closed around, a silent gray figure still kept guard over it's dead
 The devotion of dog may be tri. vial-in the opinion of some, yet the eulogy of Senator Vest on the dog de. livered years ago, still stands as a literary gem, and still stirs the heart as it did when the senator delivered it
 The dog never deserts his master never forsakes a friend. In it's silent sympathy many a man has found healing comfort.
 Faithful friendship is not to be scorned, even if that friendship comes only from dog.

Blessed Be Drudgery'

Jesse B. Jones, a young Missouri man, has literally "worked out his salvation" Jones, who is only 21, has always lived on farm, working hard from early morning until late at night. One day last spring, however, he went to Kansas City for an outing. There he fell in with gang of "good fellows" and became implicated in robbery.
 Jones was arrested, confessed and finally released on heavy bond. Back to the farm he hurried, glad of its sheltering quiet. There he worked un- til his case was called few days ago. An uncle, who had signed his bond, accompanied him to the city to face trial.
 "He hasn't missed days work this summer" the uncle pleaded. Look at his calloused hands, judge, and his sun-bronzed face and arms"
 "I'm going to stay on the farm, if you will let me, judge," Jesse said "I am making $20 month above my board and that keeps my mother in comfort"
 The judge immediately granted pa- role, and the youth returned to his farm home, determined in future to rive the city and it's ways . wide

sWIFTEST ANIMAL From the Springfield Republican.


 Comparatively few people realize fo what remarkable speed dogs are cap able. The wolf can run between { and 60 miles in one night. and tn Arctic fox can do quite az well. if no better. Manson met one of these foxs on the ice at a point more than q miles northwest of the sanuiknow ter ritory, which Ia 4S0 miles from tn Asiatic coast Eskimo and Siberia, dogs can travel 45 miles on the ic in five hours and there is one case ol record Mn which a team of Eskim dogs travelled six and one-half miles il 28 minutes.
 English setters and pointers hunt . the rate of IS to 19 miles an hour an, they can maintain the speed for . least two hours.

National Security Leagues Work

The National Security league, an organization chartered under the laws of New York, is doing effective educational work in developing senti- ment in favor of congressional action for strengthening the national de- fense. It has not only offset the ac- tivity of the pacifimaniacs who are agitating against preparedness and who preach the pernicious doctrine of peace at any price, but it has aroused public interest in a question that should appeal to every patriotic American.
 The National Security league has for it's honorary president Joseph H. Choate and for it's honorary vice pres ident Alton B. Parker. Field Secre- tary William E. Brewster is now trav- cling through the south for the pur- pose of addressing citizens meetings at which are set forth and discussed the objects of the league and the country's weak defense conditions. He will appear before mass meeting at the Birmingham Chamber of Con- merce this afternoon and The Age Herald bespeaks for him a represen- tative audience.
 President Wilson will urge Congress to increase the army and navy and while costly standing army will not be advocated by the administration a reservist system will be recommended which would enable the government to mobilize a large body of troops on short notice.
 The league is composed of promi- nent men of all political affiliations. It will support earnestly the Wash ington administration in it's proposed military policy, although there may be differences of opinion as to de- tails and as to the number of enlisted men that should make up the regular establishment. Leaders in the league think an increase of only 1000 in the army would be sufficient for the pres- ent. Secretary of War Garrison is call- ing for considerably larger increase. But all will agree on the essential point-the national defense should be made strong.
 The league is firmly committed to the National Guard. It will do all in it's power to encourage enlistment in the guard and to have the govern ment make the organized militia practically as effective as if it were part of the regular army.
 Up to the time the National Secur- ity league was formed the people were woefully indifferent to the country's military situation. They now realize the importance of broad action on the part of Congress and they will probably not be disappointed.

pig iron at SIP ton is shown in contrast with the same material transformed without freight charges or extra handling into materials for cutlery, watch springs and other high grade of finished products in steel and iron, it will be understood what Birmingham can gain through more industries located here making of the raw materials produced in this district.
 Birmingham is the nearest producing center to the Panama canal and the countries of Central and South America. whose markets are open to the manufac- turers of the United States. and prac- ticaIly now without serious competition on account of the European war. This opens up exporting markets of exclusive advantages for Birmingham.
 "As New England cotton mills built up the cities of that section at the expense of the cotton growers and people of the south, SO now many other industrial cen- ters are flourishing from industries that should exist here in Birmingham.
 With these facts before us is it ex- travagant to claim that the population of Birmingham can be doubled through the location of new industries here. If such increase could be added within the next 10 years 1t would mean increased values to all classes of property and greater prosperity to all classes of citizens. Is this worth working for?
 Tn addition to iron and steel industries Birmingham can become a pottery and glass center as well as materials for these abound here in Alabama and in such proximity to Birmingham as could render their manufacturer here equally as prosperous with iron and steel.
 sIt was Col. A. K. Mcclure, editor of the old Philadelphia Times. who said on his last visit to Alabama in 1S9s that Alabama was the richest state in this union in undeveloped resources Will her people reap a harvest of golden results developing these resources?'
