NEWSPAPER CLUB
 TO ELECT OFFICERS
Officers to Be Elected From Entire Membership and Two Tickets
 Will Be Nominated

keenest interest is being manifested by the members of the Birmingham Newspaper club in the coming annual election Several hundred associate members of the club, who, in the past, have had but small part in the govern ment of the organization, will in all probability, be given full privileges be- fore the annual election A committee is now preparing the amendment to the constitution which will give to associate members the same rights as those of the active members and the adoption of the amendment is considered certain, there being no opposition to the mea sure
 Two nominating committees are to be named this year instead of one as has been the custom in the past Each com mittee will act independent of the other, and each will name full ticket for the various offices of the club When the committees make their nomlnarIons, se- lecting the best men from the entire membership of the club, the members of the committees will be constituted into campaign committees for the purposes of electing the ticket named by them. This new plan is expected to create the most intense interest. At the same time it is stated that should any considerable num- Der of the members desire to ge1 our further tickets they, too, can bring out candidates and run them as indepen- dents.
 Ir discussing the proposed campaign B. II. Mooney, president of the club yes- terday said: Tn the past we have had a nominating committee which selected only one list of candidates. This pre- vented any rivalry as nomination was equal to election. With two nominating committees, each independent of the ether, which will act campaign com mittees for their respective tickets, the interest in these races will be great Then there is the possibil;cy or some inde- pendent candidates. The coming election will probably see every member of the club, active and associate, taking part in the contests, and we look for some real fun.

RIVER UNLIMITED IN POSSIBILITIES FOR THIS DISTRICT John H. Bernhard Says Trade Should Be Opened With Mississippi River
 Points

When the war in Europe ends and the worlds shipping again becomes normal the Panama canal will be the greatest coal market in the world said John H. Bernhard of St. Louis, president of the Inland Navigation company, while in Birmingham en route to New Orleans to attend the foreign trade council.
 MT. Bernhard was the organizer of the Alabama New Orleans Transporta- tion company and was general manager of that concern for several years. He was one of the first men to see the possibilities for barging coal down the Warrior river by using self-propelling barses. At present MT. Bernhard is the head of company which operates a line of barges and steamboats on the Mississippi river.
 Alabama has the nearest coal fields to the Panama canal and if this dis trict grasps it's opportunities the coal trade of the canal and the gulf will come here" said MT, Bernard. By all means, every step should be taken which will aid in placing the industries and mines of the Birmingh district so that they can get the benefits of the river As the matter stands now, the river will be great help to all the mines and industries which lie along the banks of the stream, but those which are inland cannot get the benefits unless adequate means are provided for getting the products to and from the river cheaply.
 of f rix are unlimited and the benefits which will come to the city of Birmingham and this district from full use of the stream are almost too great to be grasped. There is simply no limit to what can come from that river. If the people of Birmingham provide means for getting products to and from the stream without great difficulty, and at the same time will furnish enough freight on the river, lines of boats and barges can be operated from this dis trict up the Mississippi to St. Louis, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
 You people here are paying out enormous sums in freight rates on flour, grains and meats. Why not load barges on the Warrior With coal, iron and steel products and ship them by | by New Orleans and up the Missis- sippi to various points along the river and up to the flour manufacturin g cities? These barges could come back to Birmingham loaded with flour. grains and meats, which are among the largest items in the commerce of this district All of this is entirely feas- ible and it is matter which offers this district an opportunity confronting no other section of the country
 "The Inland Navigation company is now prepared to handle from New Or leans products to and from this dis trict by changing from one barge or steamer to another at New Orleans. The cost of transporting freight by wa ter is so cheap that it would proba bly be surprising to most of the people in this district.
 "The possibilities for coal and iron products from this district to the Pa cific coast of the United States and South America through the Panama canal are unrivaled anywhere. When

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or

the hair. Our grandmother made up q
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is SO attractive, use
only this ld.time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture

ents by asking at any drug store for So
cent bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair 80 naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
