 The annual convention of the Alabama Federation of Women's clubs, which con venes tonight at the Tutwiler, will be the most successful that the organization has ever known, according to Mrs. J. F. Hooper, president, who arrived in Bir- mingham last night from Selma.
 Mrs. Hooper will meet the members of the executive board at the Tutwiler this morning at o'clock and make final plans for the convention. The convention will be formally opened tonight at 8 o'clock, when practically 200 delegates are ex- pected to be present.
 "The mere fact that we are meeting in Birmingham assures us wonderful convention" said Mrs. Hooper, following her arrival at the Tutwiler last night And when we take into consideration the number of new clubs we have en- rolled during the past year, and the broadened scope of those already in the federation, we cannot but realize that this will be the biggest and most successful convention we have ever had
 Mrs. Hooper expressed her delight with the programme as outlined and especially praised the idea of the local committed on arrangements in making it "hatless convention"
 q am glad to know that no woman will be admitted to the general meetings with a hat on,' said Mrs Hooper. This only carries out the general trend of the programme as arranged by the commit tee in charge, which. while it provides sufficient social diversion, is compact from a business viewpoint"
 ANNUAL REPORT TONIGHT
 The annual report and address of Mrs Hooper will be one of the features of the meeting tonight. The report will be very short, according to Mrs. Hooper, and will be followed by the lecture of Dr. H. L. Smith, president of Washington and Lee university. Dr. Smith will speak on "The Setting for the Woman Movement, and his address will be the important feature of the meeting tonight Mrs. Hooper says that all Washington and Lee alumni in Birmingham are invited to attend the meeting, and hear pr. Smith speak, and to attend the informal reception, which will be given in his honor following the regular meeting.
 Although the convention will not be formally opened until tonight, practi- cally all the delegates are expected to arrive this morning, and they will have a busy day at that. This morning the meeting of the executive board will be held. At 12:3O o'clock today, as on all days of the convention, lunch will be served to out-of-town delegates at the Tutwiler.

Governor of the Federal Re- serve Board DepIOres the Lack of Interest Here in Muscle Shoals
OTHER CITIES BELIEVE
 BIRMINGHAM IS CHIEF RIVAL FOR FARM BANK
Alabamian Declares Posi- lively He Will Not Be a Candidate for Governor of the State

With the federal farm loan bank prao- tically assured to Birmingham, and the location of the government nitrate plant
 at Muscle Shoals a seeming certainly,
 Birmingham and Alabama are on the verge of several years of unprecedented
 development and prosperity, according
 to w. P. G. Harding, governor of the
 federal reserve board, who spent Monday
 in Birmingham.
 Although he would not commit him.
 self positively as to the location of the
 federal farm loan bank here, MT. Hard ing expressed the belief that the bank
 will be located in Alabama. By pro- cess of elimination, he showed that Sir mingham is right in line for the bank,
 and that every indication is that the
 bank will be placed here.
 q am frank to confess that I believe
 the bank for this district will be located
 in Alabama" said MT. Harding. "So far as Montgomery is concerned her princi-
 pie claim to the bank was the influence she could have exerted through Repre-
 sentative Hugh Dent and since the
 House of Representatives is now re-
 publican, her pull in this direction will
 be ineffectual.
 WILL PROBABLY GET BANK When I was in Georgia, I asked about the bank for this district. People there frankly admitted that they thought it would be a fight beween Macon and Bir-
 mingham, win the chances largely in
 favor of Birmingham. In New Orleans it was the same thing, and I understand the people in Memphis and Jackson, Miss, also think of Birmingham as their
 only competitor. So all things consid- cred, think it highly probable that the bank will be located in Birmingham" Mir Harding, who leaves this morning for Washington after a trip with Mr. De-
 lano of he federal reserve board through
 parts of Georgia and Louisiana, says that the United States is in the most prosperous condition she has known for years.
 I've now have more gold in the United States treasury than we have ever had. We have larger foreign trade balance in our favor than we have ever had and the war orders in the east and north east continue to be enormous, he said. While the prosperity may not be felt so much at this time in the south and west, these sections are coming into their
 own. The north now has more money than she knows what to do with When the war is over, and the war orders have fallen off northern capitalists will begin to look around for a place to in vest the capital they have made during the war. What more natural than that
 she should turn to the south, which is in every way ready for development. and to the west? I believe that within the next two years, Birmingham will sec tremendous development in this entire section, which will merely be a forerun- ner of what is to take place after the ;.. ,c,olI

Dog Has An Operation.

Sometime ago the little water
spaniel pup belonging to Erick
Wassgren swallowed a solid rubber
ball of. about an inch and a half in
diameter. The effect of the ball To-
Gated in the dogs stomach proved to
be of a very irritating nature and in
a short while the canine became
very i'll. Erick had become very
much attached to the spaniel and
could not think Of having it die. He
sought medical aid for the dog and
this he found by going to Oslo to
see DR.. .Hallquist,, who has made a
speciality Of removing rubber. balls
from the stomachs of dogs. After a
successful operation and weeks of
careful nursing the a. dog pulled
through and to-day is engaged in
pupish antics. It is certain :; that
this canine will never again try to
masticate any more solid rubber
balls. =. >. ~

MORE COW FEED

Arkansas farms do not have
enough COWS and the cows do
not give enough milk, partly
because they do not get enough
of the right kind of feed. A
milk COW that is an easy keep
er" is not profitable. A mill to
produce much flour must have
much wheat, and less wheat
means less flour. Just SO, less
feed for the COW will mean less
milk. Let Us have more cows
and then feed them more. Plant
grass. cowpeas, soy
beans and peanuts and then
plan for a little cotton seed
meal. More feed, more milk.

ABOUT GROWING
SWEET POTATOES

Every Arkansas farmer who
expects to grow sweet potatoes
should write Dean Martin Mel
son of the Arkansas Expert
ment Station for a copy of the
new bulletin on sWeetpotatoes,
written by Professor Wicks.
For home use each man may
grow what he likes but if he
wants to grow for market he
should grow what the market
demands. If many farmers
near one town grow sweet po-
tatoes they will oVer-supplythe
local market and then must de-
pend upon shipping to an out
side market. Organization then
is the only sensible thing and
all must grow the same variety
and plant about the same time
and agree on shipping rules
and standards and either build
individual storhouses or go to-
gether and build a large one at
the shipping station, for quick
shipment in winter and when
the price is right. The Exten-
sion Division of the College of
Agriculture, with offices at
Fayetteville and Little Rock,
will be glad to be of service to
sweet potato growers.

COUNTRY PEOPLE
SHOULD SET
OWN STANDARDS

All the organizations and
agencies which contribute to
the social life of rural commun-
tiles will fall short oftheirhigh-
est standards unless they make
rural life socially self support
ing, and Independent of the
standards and fashions of the
city unless in short, they give
to the social life of the country
"a character and dignity of its
own, instead of being a bad
copy of city life.
So long is the country lacks
this distinctive character and
dignity, so long as the country
people look 70 the cities for
their standards of dress, their
social habits, and their ideals of
propriety, sc long will rural So
cial life remain unsatisfactory.
The domination of the city over
the country is, in last analysis,
Ia mental or spiritual DONNA
ton. It will end when country
people are able to set their own
standards, when they stop try
ing to be city people or to be
like city people. When they
develop a reasonable pride in
the fact that they are country
people, and in their country
dress, country habits, country
customs; and when this pride IS
justified by the inherent sanity
and simple, transformations dig
nifty of their liyes-then we
shall have a rural civilization
worthy Of the name.-Dr. Thos.

raj Economics"

A Few Words About
You and the Paper

The local paper is always
hustling for you and yorus.
But what are you doing for
it?
The paper is always schem-
ing, and planning, and laboring
for a better community.
Do you ever exert yourself
to give the paper a boost?
The paper is always pushing
you and your people to the
front, giving you a good word
before your neighbors and the
public, assisting you to build a
reputation which will be of ull-
.estimatable value to you all the
rest of your life.
But what are you doing? Are
you reciprocating in any way?
Do you ever suggest to your
neighbors Or friends that it is a
good paper, loyal paper and
that it should receive their sup
port?
The. paper devotes many
hours and many pages of adj
vertising to the natural advan-
tges of the community-of
YOUR communicated in seek
ing to enhance the welfare of
YOUR community and of your
self.
But what of you ? Do you
ever seek to advertise the pa
per or to swell its subscription
list or to increase its general
usefulness to the community?
The paper is working six
days in the week for the COM
and for you and yours.
But do you ever devote min
ute of time to its material well
fare? Have you ever done SO?
The duty of the paper is to
supply you with the legitimate
news of the town and commun-
lty. But the paper goes much
farther. It's labors in behalf of
the community are endless and
without end, and it will con-
tinue to advocate the cause or
community progress as long as
1t Is a paper.
You are an important part of
the community, therefore its
labors are IN YOUR behalf.
You take the paper, you say.
True, and you get more than
value received each issue in the
news items alone. The fund of
information which the paper
hands you each publication day
for cent or two would cost
you many dollars if you went
out to gather it up yourself
But this is not kick, nor
roast. 1t is Just little food for
thought in a few of your idle
moments.

No Sore Spots On
The Journal

The election is over and the
best thing everyone can do, and
the thing all should do, is "for-
get it" and get busy with other
matters that concern the well
fare and upbuilding of our
country and state.
We should treasure no hard
feelings against anyone who
did not see things as we saw
them, or who did not vote as
we voted.
If we won, we can afford to
be generous to our friends who
lost. If we are numbered
among the losers, we should
remember that it does no good
to carry around a sore toe and
get mad at the other fellow.
The Democratic primary is
strictly a family affair among
members of the same party and
no one should feel called upon
to apologize for having voted
for and supported any reput-
able Democrat.
While The Journal did not
support DR.. Brough for COVER
nor, we are not ashamed of
anything we did or said during
the campaign in support of Mr..
Hodges. The editor of The
Journal has been personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. Hodges for
a number Of years and we be-
heve him to be one ofthe ablest,
cleanest and most honorable
young men in Arkansas, and
that he is true blue Democrat
and every inch a gentleman is
shown by the following state
ment issued by Mr.. Hodges i'm
mediately after his defeat:
From election returns re-
ceived at our headquarters it
would seem that | did not re-
ceive enough votes to win, and
| am ready to concede my de-
feat. Ny friends fought a good
hit. Our campaign was clean
and honorable, and [ am very
thankful for the good vote [
received. All of us are ready
and anxious to make the nomi-
nee's majority in the general
election as large as possible.
AS In the past, | will be glad
to make speeches for the ticket
next fall at my own expense.
Defeat is a new thing to me but
there is no bitterness in the cup
which has been placed to my
lips. My friends believe we
would have won with only two
candidates in the race. and
Judge Smiths vote then would |
have been in my column almost |
solldly. However, this is prob |
iematlcal, and I never cry over
spilled milk. To my loyalfriends |
IN every county l extend my
heartfelt thanks for their MANY
courtesles and | am at their
service forever. Whether in vic
tory or defeat, | shall always
be found working for Arkansas
and her people"
The Journal believes Mr..
Hodges voices the sentiment of
every Hodges man and every
loyal Democrat in the state
when he says he and hisfriends
are anxious to make DR..
Brough's majority in the gen
eral election as large as posi-
BILE.
The Journal is for DR..
Brough because we are a loyal
Democrat and he is the nomi-
nee of the party. We want to
see him elected and we hope
he will make the state a good
governor, because we are LOYAL
to Arkansas and patriotic
enough to want to see him sue
coed as governor,
