loads looked all of Toe higher, when
packers finally got in the deal worked

Ill the middle of 1915 did the millions
of dollars worth Of war materials con
tracted for begin to move in consid-

doubled even if production remained
at a s|tandstill, but production is de.
clared TO be growing faster.

AID FOR GREENE
COUNTY VICTIMS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
There are more than thousand people
in south Greene who are starving. They
have been reduced so low that they are
compelled to eat the sour green corn
where the waters have receded.
Application has been made to every
source that remotely promised hope of
aid, but these have been met only with
the suggestion that something be done
locally.
Mr.. G. K. Little, who lis in charge of
the government engineering office in Tus-
| recommended that this county follow the
lead of Tuscaloosa, Marengo and other
| stricken counties and get some action by
which work could be done on the public
roads SO as to give the people work and
keep them from starvation.
The conditions in south Greene are ex-
ceptional This section lies in the forks
of the Tombigbee and Black Warrior
| rivers. Nearly the entire country be-
tween Portland and Demopolis has been
submerged and the crops are total loss.
This leaves the inhabitants without
credit and worst of all. without anything
| to eat .
| The farmers of the immediate section
are not able to feed all of the sufferers
! and their fields are too wet to put them
to work in the hay and other crops.

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, July 27.-(Special, )-Twenty-
three Tennessee girls, each the most
popular in her district, as proved by a
Memphis newspaper contest have just
left us, after seeing" New York in a
day In all such visits the New York
press finds opportunity for fun making,
and this afternoon the great dailies take
occasion to smile, in a superior way, upon
the enthusiasm of the southerners.
The girls are referred to as the pick of
Dixie" however, after looking them over,
/ felt that Dixie had nothing to feel
ashamed of in that respect. They were a
fine looking flock, not attired a la Fifth
avenue, perhaps, but looking fresher and
more genuine than the average Fifth ave-
nue. girl or Broadway chicken.
They were rushed through the aqua
rum, the lower east side. the skyscraper
district, up Riverside drive, ana into
Grants tomb and naturally are sincere in
the belief that they have seen New
York But they also ventured into the
cabarets Miss Pearl Podd. who. by the
way, having the largest number of votes
was permitted to bring her mother with
her, declared in a manner half aShamed
ter, were thoroughly captivated by the
cabaret atmosphere and the life that Is
lived in such places.
The southerner in New York, however
cannot but feel a bit resentful at the
manner in which the dailies of this city
refer to our girls They force them te
drop many a "g'' that was never dropped
at ALL and compel them to make inane
and bromide statements about Manhat-
without nearing
their voices.
If the southern press wrote up the
twang of our northern visitors, as they
write up the drawl of the southerners
who come here there would soon be rea
resentment in evidence in this commu,
nifty. There is this difference: While
they poke fun at us here, they like the
sound of our voices and admit 1t, but II
VIC INDUCED in criticism of them and tolc
the truth, we would state that the aver
age northern, or particularly New York
voice CRATES on the southern ear.
Say said a New York newspaper
man to me today, stop writing dowr
south that New York is sort of paradise
for the colored people-youll have en-
all flocking up here. AS a matter o.
fact. they haven't a bit more chance herr
than there. There are practically no ne
gro walters employed here; the INTERIOR
ough handles only few and they arr

Mr. Little's suggestion, have unanimously
signed and presented a petition to the
commissioners court of Greene county
asking for small appropriation from the
county to be expended on the public
roads SO as to give the flood sufferers
something to do. This petition was pre-
scented to the commissioners last Monday
and the court flatly refused to appropri-
ate l cent for this work for the purpose
for which it is intended.
What is to be done? The people who
signed this petition are taxpayers of the
county and the petition was fair and
just, for, laying aside the worthy cause
for which this money was asked, the peo-
PIE of south Greene pay fair share of
the taxes of the county, yet there is not

ty. On the other hand, roads have been
built in other parts of the county that
cost several thousand dollars mile and
paid for with their money.
Can Portland be blamed for being re-
sentful? Who would not be resentful of
such treatment in ordinary times, to say
nothing of a time of stress like this,
when they ask for a pittance to be ex-
pended on roads in order to keep thou
sand people from starving and then be
refused. Who would not form the opinion
that no other county in all Alabama has
a court so small so selfish and SO unjust
as that with which Greene county is
blessed?
1t is just to say that one member of
the court favored small appropriation
but others who had promised to help
forgot their promise when the court con-
vened, and when the dominant figure of
the court put the stamp of disapproval
upon the appropriation and bid the Fork

when the latest statistics were prepared,

other banks of New York carried de-
posits in excess of $250,000,000
The proportionate largest increase with
in three years, which is the greatest, was
made by the National City bank, and
there was no other American bank in 1913
which had deposits in excess of S2OO,0OO,-
900.
Large as these figures are, they are pro-
portionately no greater than the in
creases reported by banks in the middle
west, in the northwest, by one or two
in the south and by four in San Francis

banks in the west and northwest are
Overlooking with money. Therefore it is
assumed that the conditions that prevail
in New York are relatively speaking. tho
same throughout the country.
1t is assumed that the large increases
in bank deposits, both in New York and
in other parts of the country. have been
in great measure caused by the heavy
payments which other nations have made
to the United States ON account of COM
modities purchased since the European
war began. Recently litigation revealed
the fact that a single corporation has
had on deposit in various banks many
millions of dollars. sometimes depositing
in excess of million day. Nearly all
of these deposits represent payments
made on account of munitions.

garded in the financial district as furnish

Who's Who in the News
General Harvey &. Clark.

The man who is commander of the
National Guard of Missouri is Briga-
dicr-General Harvey Cyrus Clark, a
native Missourian.
General Clark is a descendant of
Abraham Clark, one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence. He
was born in Cooper County, Septem-
Der Il, 1869 He attended the schools
of Butler, Mo-, was graduated from
Wentworth Military Academy and
spent two years at Scarritt College at
Neosho He was admitted to the bar
in 1898 and served one term as prose-
cutting attorney of Bates County.
In 1883 he organized Company B of
the Second Regiment, Missouri Ma
tiOnal Guard, at Butler and was made
captain. In 1897 was appointed ma
jor and quartermaster on the staff of
Brigadier-General Milton. On the
outbreak of the Spanish-American
War Governor Stephens requested him
to raise and organize the command
which became known as the Sixth
Missouri Volunteer Regiment of In
fantry. He was commissioned lieu
tenant-colonel, filling this position
during all of its service.
1t was the only Missouri regiment
which reached Cuba. Colonel Clark
displayed such military ability that
in 1899 he was appointed by Governor
Stephens brigadier-general of the Mis-
souri, National Guard, thus placing
him in command of the entire mill
tary organization of the state. He
has held the position continuously ever
since and in that time has effected a
reorganization of the National Guard
and improved its efficiency.
At the time of his appointment
General Clark was probably the
youngest man ever assigned to the
highest position of command of the
military establishment of any state
in the Union.
