Many Negroes Now Seen
 on Streets of Liverpool

Liverpool, October 1.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press )-Liverpool IS becoming conscious of remarkable growth in it's black population. The ne- groes are coming from the west coast of Africa and from America. striking feature of the invasion is that the blacks so numerous on the city streets generally are arrayed in garments of the latest cuts and hues. The color schemes usually are rather loud, the negroes from Africa vieing with those from the United States in riot of checks, stripes, vivid neck ties. lurid hose and bright yellow shoes.
 At first this invasion puzzled the au- thorities here but little investigation

Activities of the w. c. T. U.
The Thiryfrst Annual State Convention of the Womans Christian Temperance Union Held in Huntsville Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday Largely At
 tended by Enthusiastic Delegates
nv MRS. MABEL F. LEAKE

The thirty-first annual state convention held in Huntsville was an interesting event from the first to the last session. There were addresses by well known temperance workers, beautiful music, a medal contest, and encouraging reports from the superintendents of departments.
 Wednesday morning the state presi- dent, Mrs. Annie K. Weisel, delivered her annual address, which was comprehen- sive and instructive and delivered in Mrs. Weisels usual effective, persuasive style.
 Wednesday evening the national presi- dent, Miss Gordon, addressed the dele gates and other guests. Another inter esting feature of the evenings pro- gramme was a beautiful contralto solo rendered by little Miss Esslinger, and just as Miss Esslinger finished singing 14 little girls, dressed in white, carrying white flowers. came up the aisle singing a response. we Are Coming to the Rescue" beautiful and touching sight.
 All the state officers were reelected, with the exception of Mrs. J. T. Lister, corresponding secretary, Gadsden, who re- fused to stand for reelection. Mrs. La mar Smith of Attalla was elected to the office of corresponding secretary.
 Thursday evening was given up to the children, Mrs. J. P. Moore's grand gold medal contest being the feature of the evening. Mrs. Moore introduced the con- testants with graceful little speeches. The medal was won by Miss Bertha Weaver, while Miss Eveline Godfrey was a close second, missing it only by one twelfth.
 The medal was presented by Mrs. Fe- lx Baldridge, with an appropriate ad- dress.
 The judges in the medal contest were:

tended to solve at least a part of the mystery. The bulk of the blacks, it seems, have been recruited on the west coast to work as firemen on steamers whose white crews presumably have be- come reduced through the war. They are not all seafarers however, for many ap- pear to have signed for one trip only and have obtained employment here in the short-handed factories at lucrative wages This is particularly true of the Ameri- can negroes, many of whom have come over as muleteers or other workers on the ships in the American trade.
 The West Africans speak English, Of course but not very fuently. The Amer ican negroes, being quite glib of tongue are more interesting to the Liverpool street crowds The American blacks do not go to all the extremes of dress af- fected by the Africans, who in their

JUDGE WALKER IN ATLANTA

OO0G W A LIN f1 LfA1S
 Speaking of Alabama judges, I am re- minded that we have had with us the past few days Judge Richard w. Walker, of the United States court of appeals, sitting with the other gentlemen who make up the court. He has number of friends here who are always ready to make 1t pleasant for him.
 The judge, however, has a far away look on his face when he is away from his beloved state. I saw him in the lobby of the Piedmont and was very much re- minded of the way Mr. M. B. Wellborn used to take his separation from home when he first came over to head the board of federal reserve bank. 1T sure do miss those Calhoun county folks MT. Wellborn was in the habit of saying.
 As I said before, Alabama and Ala bamians are prominent in all walks of Atlanta. One of the best nurses in the city is Miss Mabel Wheeler, who grew up in Birmingham. She is connected with the Wesley House organization here and Is known among all interested persons as wonderfully effective in her calling.
 What Is 8 billion? And after you have figured that out, multiply it by p and see what you get-the amount of insur- ance in force in the old line legal reserve life companies of the United States. The actual figures are $22. 776, 754, ,5s4. The assets are $5,190, 310 153. This is exclusive of S1,- 2S1, ,470,4S0 in fraternal and assessment companies, with assets of $25o, 900, GOO more.
 I know it Is bad form to talk shop, but I can't help but think what these figures mean, of what these assets are able to do for the sections in which they are assembled. One city, New York, has approximately s3OO0.o0O,0 GOO of these assets, while the rise of $500 00OO,0 900 and $500 COG, ,0Oo respectively. may be credited to Newark and Hartford. Philadelphia has practi- cally $3o0, 900 and Boston not far from s200, 900, ,000.
 Indicating how largely these funds enter into the development of the sections where they are assembled is the fact that five companies of New York have invested in New York city bonds and mortgages alone $470OOO.0Oo. One company has taken $150OO0.00O of this amount in the last 10 years, with $27,0oo,oOO invested in this way in 1915 alone.

Huntsville's mayor, the superintendent of Public instruction, two visiting dele gates and Mrs. Baldridge of Huntsville.
 The paper of Mrs Ella Brice of Tus- caloosa on "The History of the Ala bama W. c. T. U." was so comprehen- sive and valuable that 1t was voted to have it published in leaflet form and pre- served for future reference.
 Delicious, tempting luncheons were served every day by the different churches of Huntsville, while the First Methodist church, in which the conven- tion was held. had been beautifully dec orated for the occasion.
 Many pretty social attentions were shown the state officers and the national president. It seemed everybody in Hunts vile was wing with his neighbor in showing the delegates attention.
 The Huntsville Times issued a special Woman's Christian Temperance union edition, carrying the pictures of all the state officers and news of special inter est to the temperance cause. The dele gates voted the editor a rousing vote of thanks and sent him most appreciative letter.

Seventy five per cent of our farmers are planting these beans and the lands are already beginning to show the good effects of them. For the most part they are planted with corn. When this is gathered they are pastured and then turned under.
 Things are in fine shape in my county in every way, and have never known the farmers to be doing so we'll Largely as a result of the work of Banker Proc tor we have more cattle and hogs and better cattle and hogs than any one ever hoped for in the years gone by. We are raising all the hay we use and there had not been a bushel of corn shipped in this year up to the last time took any account of it. Our 1915 crop generally was raised at a cost very much lower than other years and this year it is not more than half what it did last year.
 Farmers have been falling over each other to pay debts this fall. AS result they are in better shape along this line

New Winter Top $500

We want to show you idea in a demountable top. top designed under John w Bate, the famous efficiency expert. Not patched-on top, like you've But top which gives you an ideal wintersummer
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-10-15

Here is another new idea in efficiency. And, like all the Mitchell innovations, it is due to John w. Bate. It is Demount- able Top, light and solid, finished like the Mitchell Touring Car.
 All windows and posts are re- movable, leaving the sides clean and clear, similar to the Spring field type Sedan. And a set of cur tains are furnished for quick use. The top is made of Agasote, cast, with no seams at the curves, so it cannot leak.
 It doesn't rattle, it doesn't over- lap. It doesn't look like an added body. And it doesn't mar the Touring Car.
 It has a dome light like our Limousine. It has windows which drop, like our Touring Sedan. Ithas curtains on side and rear windows, and the upholstering is in gray.
 So our Touring Car, when this top is used, becomes a luxurious closed Car, and any owner of a Mid Season Mitchell can become the owner of a closed car by purchas- ing this top-and it costs but $500.

Let Us First be Fair
caldwell News)

The Fruitland Banner, one of the
Invest newspapers published in Canyon
county, was the one newspaper that
discussed the libel suit of H. A. Grit
fiths, esq, against the Caldwell Tri-
bune. And, having discussed it, il
has reason. 1t goes back in the
dim and misty past and brings to light
a scheme of the newspapers to reach
into the county treasury and grab
some filthy lucre and Mr.. Griffiths, a
private citizen, thwarted it by taking
certain legal steps. Here is heroes
and a romanticism big enough for any
man and sweet enough to charm the
heart Of any woman. And, closing,
the. Banner says: mot being in Can
yon. county at the time the writer
does not know the papers that were
lined up for this printing, but it is
dollars to doughnuts' that the Tribune
would have received some benefit il
the deal had gone through
Some three years ago the county
commissioners asked for bids on the
county publications, and notices were
sent out to all the newspapers in the
county and they were asked to bid on
the publications in one newspaper and
also in three. The bids were opened
and the bids were as various as the
publishers bidding and they were all
turned down and new bids called for
and the publishing contract was
awarded to the Nampa Record, at one
cent line. That was all there was to
that matter.
The libel suit of Mr.. Griffiths is
purely personal matter between he
and the publishers of the Caldwell
Tribune. 1t is not a criminal action
wherein the people of the state of
Idaho would be the aggrieved parties,
but simply civil action-an action
in damages-and so far as the rela-
tons of the public or the press is con-
cerned is of no more consequence than
should it have been an action between
two old farmers over line fence.
The News is not interested in the
libel suit. We hope it will be set
tied in accordance with the princi-
pies of law and justice, but as a
newspaper we are interested in the
question from purely business eth
ical standpoint. The article about
that printing bid is made to reflect

Forest Rangers in Session.

The forest rangers of the national
forests in central and western Idaho
are holding four days conference in
Boise this week. The papers and dis
cussions deal with the execution OF
government regulations for the de-
velopment and administration of for
est lands. Among the subjects to be
considered are those concerning for
est fires, construction of roads, trails,
telephone lines, and other improve
ments; grazing, including the natural
revegetation of the range by methods
of rotation in grazing, development of
watering places, where needed, and
protection of game; the cruising of
timber, stumpage prices, scaling and
logging; land classification, mining
and other claims, and forest home
steads. Those in attendance from the
Payette forest, of which Emmett is
headquarters, are: G. B. Mains, super
visor, and L. j. Phelan and F. S.
Moore, deputies; H. j. Burr, ]. w.
Kimball, II. H. Long, F. H. Miller, j.
d. Parker, Dewitt Russell, Claude C.
Shannon, Harmon A. Shannon, w. c..
Taylor and Francis Wallis.
Among the subjects under discus
sion are fire protection and fire
fighting led by Ranger Burr. An
other interesting matter with an
opening paper by Ranger Wallis is
the deferred or rotation system of
grazing. This, in brief, consists of
closing certain portions of the range |
to grazing until late in the summer
after the range plants have gone to
seed. Stock is then :urned in and
the seed is scattered, thus making
more sure a good crop of forage for
following seasons. If say one-tenth
of the range is thus treated each
year, in ten years the forage on the
entire Forest may be practically re-
newed. Other subjects assigned to
the local forest officers were Mobility
of Ranger Force to H. A. Shannon;
Timber Estimates and Forest Des-
cription to H. H. Long; Stumpage
Appraisal to F. II. Miller; Agricul-
tural Claims to C. C. Shannon;

upon the publishers of newspapers
in Canyon county, and an attempt
is made to implicate the newspapers
in dishonest deal in connection there
with. The legal rate of printing in
this state is about 10 cents per line.
The newspapers all charge that
amount, at least, and for local lines,
they charge 10 cents for the first
insertion and five cents for each sub
sequent insertion of the same local
line. Now in those bids for the coun-
ty printing and those bids that in
cluded the three newspapers, none ex-
ceeded 10 cents a line for the three
newspapers. Then, where does the
steal come in? If three newspapers
agree to print for the public a single
line of legal or other publication at
the same price that each one Of them
charges his business or professional
should 1t not rather be
a donation than a steal ?
If it is steal, then all newspapers are
for they charge everybody
but the municipal corporations that
price? When the truth of the matter
is, the only one that the publisher
steals from is himself.
1t is time that the publisher took a
'all to himself and put the public on
he same plane as the private in
lividual and charge the public the
same price for what they do for it
hat he does TO his other customers.
As it is in Canyon county the pub
ishers fight each other and the pol
tician spurns him with his foot and
Uses him as an horrible example.
Ind, as in the above, the Banner tho
not being in the county" considers
hat the newspapers attempted a
heft, tho the case has not been tried,
oncedes libel was committed.
Would it have done the same had the
arties beenTom Jones and Bill Brown,
wo private citizens, instead of the
publishers of Republican newspaper
nd a Democratic county attorney?
ct us first be fair and impartial.
