 In getting government artillery range and camp site, Anniston has the of Alabama how those things done
 The process inspiration because it shows what can be accomplished by work For many months Annison have been working the project Sixteen thousand of land involved This meant getting of options It meant worlds of detail work And yet meant that the work must be done silently without osenaon without blare of tmpets and without the slightest tnge of seshness the part of anyone who helping.
 Dozens of Annistons big business helping They all knew what going and yet each did his part and there 'leak anywhere along the line. Furthermore this great team of townbuers had congressman Washington who silently directing the campaign His only advice don't talk-even to each other

city of opportunity and responsibility.
 Here is what the home board says:
 We come for the third time to this great city of the south with its genial
 climate it's hospitable people and great commercial power. New Orleans is pe culiarly southern and yet is national it is American and yet cosmopolitan gled as nowhere else. The civilities of life constitute the charm of the place,
 whilst it's factories and foundries and banks and business houses, and it's great terminals and wharfs, proclaim its commercial and industrial power.
 Situated at the mouth of the Missis- sippi and the great valley it commands
 the whole interior from the gulf to the lakes, and far-seeing prophets pre- dict that in 25 years she will surpass in population and power St. Louis her self. We might say the Gulf of Mexico and the great river combined consti- porium for the trade of all climates and all continents. It looks straight through the Yucatan channel to the Panama canal through which trade will be carried and brought from all cen ters of the earth.

OPPORTUNITY By Frank Willis Barnett
Yes, this is the land of opportunity.

Yes this is the land of opportunity.
 . .
 For centuries the wearied and oppressed of the world either looked to America or came to 1t as the place where they could better themselves.
 Some came for adventure, some came for gold some came for freedom, some came as missionaries.
 "If God invites opportunity, He invites responsibility,' these words stare at me as I sit here in the Southern Baptist con- vention and write
 Now, this goes to the very root of the matter for which this convention is or ganized.
 It may be report on education, on Sunday school work, on temperance, on mission, but through each one runs the word opportunity and responsibility.
 Duke of Tampa, one of my old seminary friends, is standing preaching to over 5000 peoples, and his message is ringing out to consecrated men and devoted wom- en from all parts of the south. Seize your opportunity, rise to your responsibilities.
 He has just finished, and the great con- gregation is singing, Lord. Lift Me Up and Plant My Feet On Higher Ground" :" It's an inspiring song, and my, how they are singing it. I know it would delight Lawrence, our great director to have the Community Singers roll ic out as these uplifted people are now doing it.
 resolution offered by pr. J. w. Parker of Kentucky, offering our money, pray CTS, work and lives to the President, has just been enthusiastically passed. Every one realizing Americas opportunity to help "safeguard democracy"
 Dr. Harting made an appeal for the starving Syrian and Armenian Christians, urging the churches to take collections and forward them to the committee at New York. An opportunity for Christian service
 Here is significant sentence from the home board report: Ali ETafer searched the world for diamonds, and all the while Golconda lay undiscovered at his doors The Golconda of southern Baptists lies in the development of our homeless churches.
 It may be remembered by many that Russell H. Conwell, a Baptist minister ot Philadelphia, holds the worlds record fol the number of times delivered and amount of money taken in on his famous address, Acres of Diamond" call to opportunity. It has been delivered over | 5000 times and has brought in hundreds of thouse nds of dollars which have been | given by him to the great work he i' carrying on through the Baptist temple ar institutional church in the city ol Fatherly love.

0C1dERE are few kickers in Bir-
 mingham yet. But there are cer-
 tainly mass of workers.
 No work ever attempted for the good or this town has been done with more enthusiasm nor with more thoroughness than that of General Clark, I. c. Beatty and the other members of the committee working to locate an army concentration camp here
 some eight or ten of the best citizens of Birmingham have given practically all of their time for weeks to this. They have had no newspaper notoriety because they have requested the newspapers 70 keep silent on the subject. But they have gotten together and secured options on all available land round and about Bir- mingham. They have met with hearty and liberal responses from the owners of land, and 1t looks to me very much like uhoJOA 1OuuSbeTS, lHS dIIIly OIllCeT HeTe yesterday, will make a favorable report on Birmingham. The officers and the men want to come here because of Bir- mingham's climate, it's splendid water supply and it's amusement features. Sol diers, as well as civilians. must have hours off and seek amusements and pleasure.
 The decision will be made within g very short time and the chances are indeed good that Birmingham will get large army camp.

 It is gratifying indeed to observe the splendid response that the farmers of this section of Alabama are making to the

Presidents appeal to plant food crops.
 I took a trip from Birmingham to Gads- den few days ago to attend the meet ing of the Alabama Press association. It struck me that there was not a thousand square feet of available ground between here and Gadsden, which was not under cultivation. The lands are well tiled and look like garden spots.
 The white men and the white women and children are doing the work. did not see ten negroes in the fields between here and Gadsden. The negroes have gone to the mines and the cities or to the northern fields to which the labor agents have enticed them. But the white men and the white women of Alabama are doing the work and the appearance of the fields shows that they are being cultivated by intelligent labor.
 I stopped at many farm houses and found almost everyone raising hogs of good breed. Strange as It may seem, not one of these farmers would sell 8 pig. All had decided to raise them to full growth and get the largest possible amount for their meat
 The principal crops are corn, oats and wheat Very few of the farmers are planting cotton in this section, 1t ap- peared.
 
 The editors of the papers of the smaller cities and towns of Alabama are doing their share of work in printing govern ment information about crops and the best methods of producing them. They are educating the farmers to practical

circular from a candidate is an urgent appeal to him to come to campaign head quarters and direct matters.
 When a married woman falls out with her sister-in-law, her sister-in-law sees to it that the neighbors learn the real age of the married woman.

who have undertaken to raise every thing good to eat have grown tired of "the job" and quit just at time when hard work was necessary. It should be different this year. Under the constant urging of the government and of food preparedness committees people with garden space have deter mined to do their best throughout the year, for there is much to be done in the late fall and early winter in gathering and storing. Any half acre can be made to produce enough to feed a large family and have something to sell besides. Let more attention be given to potatoes, onions and winter beans.
 Amateur gardeners are taking their work more seriously than ever before This will be worth great deal to the country.

Good Weather for
Crops of All Kinds

1.-THE weather is ideal for growing
 G crops. The low temperature which continued for many days and was only broken the middle of last week did some damage to the vegeta- ble gardens and the fields that had been planted early. In a few in- stances in northern Alabama cotton was so stunted that the crop was plowed up and corn planted in it's stead. But it is not too late to start all over again, if need be. Most home gardeners have heretofore been bent upon raising early vegetables and los- ing sight of the importance of con- tinuous seeding. The man who cul- tivates model truck patch will have an abundance of fresh peas, beans, corn, tomatoes and all the other vege- tables, from early summer until the last of autumn.

 Southern Baptists have not been un- mindful of this city. We have poured out treasures ot men and money into this city for more than 70 years. The year the southern Baptists donven- tion was organized, 1s45, the home board did work in New Orleans and has continued during the years since to come constantly with its helpful hand to the support of our cause in the Crescent City. The denomination through the board has helped every white Baptist church in the city. in most cases buying the lots and erecting constantly in the support of pastors and missionaries"

 And, by the way, there are as strong and able a set of men conducting the smaller papers of this states as can be found in any section of America. There are not only many brilliant writers among them, but men of good business ability who teach the practical rather than delving in theories and rhetoric.
 There were many men of real true worth and ability at this Gadsden meet ing of the Alabama Press association.

 At the luncheon given yesterday at the Tutwiler to Major Youngberg of the United States army, I met number of the manufacturers of this district and was surprised to learn of the great vol ume of orders for material manufactured here, given by the army and navy. Among these orders are several thou sand shells weighing 400 pounds each. and all manner of castings and equip ment and material needed aboard ships and for the army.
 Every foundry and machine shop in the Birmingham district is running at full tilt and every other concern making steel and iron products has more orders than 1t can fill.
 With the pay rolls of this district more than double those of two years ago, why should not every merchant and business man in this district have the greatest pe- riod of prosperity of his career?

Industrial school Busy

"As I pass the grounds of the Boys Industrial school every day, it is easy to see that a banner crop is being put in this year" said J. s. Boggs. Years past, the farming end of the institution has not been pushed as it should be, but this spring every available foot of ground is being planted.
 An exceptionally fine lot of hogs are being raised also. Just think what 1t takes to feed $50 hungry and growing boysl. It takes half of a 3o0pound hog to just season up a mess of greens or cabbage.
