Woman's Club Notes.

The meeting of the Barre Woman's
club yesterday afternoon was under the
direction of the musical department. A
very delightful and interesting paper was
read by Miss Carrie NJ. Wheelock, who
chose for her subject, "'The Influence of
Music Upon the Lives of Very Small
Children" At the outset Miss Wheeloclx
asked her hearers to go back in their
own minds, if possible, and search out
the earlier recollections of what music
had been to them in their childhood,
when, rocked in their mothers arms,
they were soothed to sleep by the Groom
ing of a lullaby.
Then, unconsciously, later on, the child
developes a form of music in its own
soul, as it endeavors to adjust itself to
the relation of things around 1t. Good,
simple music, not beyond the years of
the child. exerts an untold influence in
after years.
The ladies who heard Miss Wheelocks
paper were appreciative of its merits
and enthusiastic in applause of it.
The fourth of the series of study talks
to be given by the musical department
will be held at the home of Mrs. w. f..
Lazell, % South Main street, Thursday
afternoon, March is, at 2;45 o'clock.

 ham for Supply

Montgomery. March 7-(Special.) with a few exceptions, libraries have been installed i nall the prisons and convict cacmps of the state through the generosity of public spirited citizens,T said Rev. w. D.

 According to Mir. Hubbard, every con- vict camp in Alabama has been sup piled with good books with the excep- tion of fe wcamps in Jefferson county. The state convict chaplain said he is looking to citizens of Birmingham to donate books for these camps
 "Gt is impossible to tell how much good has been done in the convict camps through the distribution of books said MT. HI5bard. These books have been donated by men and women in all sections of the state. Yesterday. I received a box of books from good woman in Troy, and l shall immediately place them in some convict camp"
 MT Hubbard said the prisoners in the various camps were making good use of the books that are being supplied them Many of them are unable to read and write, while others are fairly well educated This latter class is most ap preciative of the books that are being given them, said MT. Hubbard.

 SOME OF ALAbAMA'S CLEARING FAULTS

Alabama loves to have nice things said about her, but here is man who is will ing to call attention to some of her faults and shortcoming. He writes: To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

WANTS STUDENTS
 ID ATTEND CAMPS Southern Military Training Camp for Students at
 OglethOrpe in July

Montgomery, March 7-(Special.) Plans are being made by the state mili- tary department to have the schools, colleges and other educational institu- tions of Alabama represented this year at the southern military training camp for students, which will be conducted by the United States war department July 5. to August 8. at Fort Oglethorps, Georgia.
 Adj. Gen. G. F. Hubbard, Alabama National Guard, has begun to circular ize the various higher institutions of learning of the state with regard to the matter, and he hopes to secure a good representation from Alabama at the training camp. Regular army of ficers will be in charge of the camp The requests to take up the matter with the schools of the state came to General Hubbard from headquarters eastern department, Governors Island, New York. to which was attached . 'letter from Arthur J. Draper of Char lotte, N. C., informing the war depart- ment that he would send at his ex- pense 10 or more students from the Unit versity of North Carolina to the train- ing camp at Fort Oslethorpe. .tIn his communication to the war de- apartment, MT. Draper stated that he was a volunteer in '5S during the Spanish-Arnerican war, and that his ex- perience at that time convinced him of the necessity of framing officers and of the serious consequences resulting from the use of unskilled men, called emergency.
 General Hubbard hopes that all the
 colleges of the state will be represented
 at the southern military training camp.

MUST BE BUSINESS MEN

MT Martin told recently about adopt ing the rule of requiring statements from farmers when the St. Louis bank first opened. A number of the member banks, he said. thought 1t would be impossible to get such statements. But experience has proved that it is not difficult whenever a tactful explanation is given. And there have been several instances, MT. Martin says in which local banks, after receiving such statements. have felt justified in lending more money than evar before.
 All this goes to show that as more and mere business Is injected into agriculture, and as bankers are brought into more intimate and sympathetic touch with the

 It has been the privilege of the Trustees Loan & Guaranty Company to lift gTieyous burden which had long been borne by the retail merchants of this district and the beauty of it is that do feel the weight of the burden at alwhich is to say it is burden to us and the lifting of 1t merely incidental to the oper ation of our business We can make our meaning clear in a few worlds Before the organization of the Trus- tees Loan < Guaranty Company the loan sharks had practically clear field in this district and thousands of salaried individuals and workers were in their clutches The abnormal rates of interest charged by these sharks absorbed very large proportion of the earnings of industrial workers Consequently our re- tail merchants had to sscarry large number of their customers nurse them along in the hope that some day they would be able to pay out The heavy load of anxiety and worry thus laid upon them to say nothing of the monetary loss due to the eng of capital and the failure to collect many of these debts, is easily imagined. It was very grievous load indeed This burden being automatically lifted from their should CTS by the Trustees System operated exclusively by this company, which is enabling wageearners and saaried individuals to wipe out their debts and accumulate something and thus become better customers We claim no special credit for the good are doing for the merchants, as lti only of the many collateral ben efits which sound system of industrial banking con- ers upon community.
