Has the Right Spirit

A letter has been received at the office of the executive committee of the food preparedness committee from Ed White of Goodwater, Ala, minister, who re- ceived one of the letters sent out by the committee a week ago. The letter is in- terestng, in that 1t shows the kind of spirit that should be prevalent all over the state to make the work of the com mittee a success
 T do not know that you are looking for reply" said Mir. White. But I felt 1t my duty to do so, to show you that I appreciate the interest you are taking and will say that I am serving four country churches, and have been urging them to plant food crops of every kind, not only to feed ourselves, but to help to feed <suffering humanity every where. 1 am so much concerned about the worlds need that I am willing to do myself. I have two little boys ages II and IS, and we are planting 30 acres in corn, beans and other food crops, not planting thing only such as will pre- serve life of some kind.'

VIII Return in Winter

Will Johnson, porter at the Chamber Of Commerce, and one of the best and most favorably known negroes In Bir- mingham; in fact, known to more busi- ness men than perhaps any other negro in the city is authority for the state ment that the majority of the negroes who left Birmingham to go to Gary, Ind, to secure employment, will be back in Birmingham by winter.
 T had letter from a friend of mine who went to Gary, and secured employ ment there, in which he stated that he had taken a poll of the negroes in Gary, who came from Birmingham, or the Bir- mingham district, and out of 325 boiled, there were 324 who said they would never let winter catch them in the north'' said Johnson.
 The southern negro realizes that he fares better where it is not so cold and that the difference in wages is taken uI by the additional clothes and fuel that he has to buy to keep warm through the long, hard winters in the north,' he con cluded

Must Watch Our Words

"We men should look well to our con- duct and words in regard to our attitude toward the war in the presence of those who look to us for example" J. J. Jack son, attorney, said yesterday. Continuing, MT. Jackson cited the following as an example: My little brother swung to my chair and asked whether I loved the United States flag more than I did the Confederate flag. He Is but ' years old, yet look what he has asked I told him that when the Confederate flag was un- furled, I took off my hat; but when the United States flag was unrurIed took of my hat and cheered.
 He asked why I cheered. I said we must respect the flag of our grandfathers even though it was never our own, but when the United States flag is unfurled as it is our flag, the only flag We ever knew, the sign of our hopes, then we should always take off our hats and cheer"

As serx,ccoble as Soldier

T am very much in favor of that DOT ton of the conscription bill now before Congress which allows the President the right to utilize men for other than mili- tary purposes" stated Charles E. Wilder, we'll known attorney. yesterday. Tt was at one time my privilege to serve in the regular army and during that time many nisfits came under my observa- tion. I saw many men who would have made excellent farmers had they stayed in the country, but who made no better soldiers than others who had no knowl- edge of or training in farm affairs and hence could not take the places of the former in the country. The same prin- ciple would, of course, apply to men in other lines requiring special knowledge or experience"
 Mr. Wilder is a great believer in the back to the farm movement" and thinks that if we are to present a for midable front in the present war the man behind to produce adequate food sup plies will be as essential as the man at the front with the gum

Birmingham's Park ownership

Every now and then. when the matter of location of public school, fire sta tion, or auditorium comes up, some one rises to suggest one of the city parks, or commons" remarked Frank " Evans.
 They do not seem to understand that no
 ownership in these parks is heldSby the city commission or any other governing board with authority to transfer for any other purpose than that for which they were acquired and to which they are dedi- cated, to-wit: parks. They are owned by the public, just as are the streets and alleys, constitute no part of the financial assets of the city's governing board and are fixed perpetually as parks on the map of the city.
 "There is just one exception. however, continued MT. Evans and that is the deed from the Elyton Land company to the city for Capitol park recites that should the state capital ever be removed l to Birmingham Capitol park shall be
 dedicated as site for the statehouse.
