Confederate Reunion

While I do not blame the old Con- federate Veterans for their attitude to- ward the Washington committee for so- liciting funds for the approaching reunion from other cities, yet, In my opinion, 1t would be well to withhold judgment un- til the facts of the. case are more fully known said Hardie Brown yesterday.
 Tt will be recalled that some difficulty was experienced at first in raising the funds to entertain the veterans at the last reunion held here, but finally the situation was met and met magnificently. In view of the fact that the reunion is to be held in the capital of the nation, with all that that implies, the committee in charge evil dently had in mind an entertainment that would stand out from all others, and doubtless thought that many cities which had never entertained the veterans would be glad to do their part in making the affair a gigantic success
 Tt may have been an error of judgment on the part of the committee, but we should be slow to condemn a movement that was probably started in good faith, and with the best of intentions. l am sure that the citizens of Washington will contribute as largely as the citizens of any other city for the entertainment of the veterans, and that even if the out side assistance does not materialize they will give them a royal good time"

MiddIeman Has Troubles

Just now in the midst of the high cost-of-living argument over the country the wholesalers and middlemen get an overdose of knocking said Frank Wade of Wade Brothers yesterday. We are now paying advances of from 20 to 50 per cent on prices at which we purchased three or four months ago. Some classes of goods have jumped so that we don't care to handle them; the profit is too close to pay us.
 T know of no corner on any commodity in Birmingham or any attempted corner. The supply is below normal, as whole, and 1t keeps us busy withl close figuring to pull through the present crisis. Both foodstuff and feedstuff have reached lim- it's as never before
 Alabama must learn to feed herself Why, somef armers are actually pulling their stock through until grass time on roughage, grain being out of their reach. This situation should be provided against by raising their own feed.
 "The past year has been sad lesson to many, but it may lead to better di- versification from now on. While some middlemen may need a raking, as whole, we are not the monsters painted by scne."

CROWNS WORN IN BATTLE

CROWNS WORN IN BATTLE
 From Tid-Bits.
 Monarchs no longer ride forth crowned in battle, as did Richard III to his fatal fight on Bosworth field. Nevertheless, even today crowns figure in the spec tacular side of war more often than is commonly supposed. The King of Italy, for instance, although he does not, of course, always wear 1t. carries his crown with him wherever he goes. and ire quently dons it when he reviews his troops.
 This is in accordance with the custom and tradition of his house. The crown is supposed to render it's wearer immune from harm, because inclosed within the gold Is a tiny circlet of iron said to have been made from a nail out of the true cross.

A CCORDING to the New York A correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, Abe Rosenblum is New York's "onion king" In six months he is said to have made $1,000,000.
 MT. Rosenblum's method was sim- plicity itself. Like Chicago's "egg king" he simply "cornered" food commodity and waited for the price to soar. He did not have long to wait. When onions were as hard to find in New York as vacant room in New York hotel, Mir. Rosenblum shipped seventy-five carloads into the city. As onions were selling then at $15 bag of 100 pounds, the "onion king" had nothing to do but let the money roll in and count up his profits.
 There are many other food manipu- lators who have followed the shining example of MT. Rosenblum. Their ac- tivities may explain why housewives are paying 200 per cent more for foodstuffs than they paid few years ago.
 It is small wonder that, despite the country's astonishing prosperity, cer- tain of our large cities have had food riots.

 the 17,4ss had on deposit over s5.0O0,- 900, or that the average per depositor was s292.2S. Please do not give me credit for figuring this out I didn't even attempt it. MT. Wells saw my helplessness and bewilderment and did it for me.
 Recently I had something to say about the folly of not teaching chill dren the value of money. I was struck by big-framed diagram hung over desk in the First National bank. I can't show 1t here in diagram, but give the striking words under the diff ferent ages Remember. the diagram was made to show that the habit of saving must be formed and exercised early in life.

in favor of universal training. In the first place, boys under twenty-one can spend year with the colors with out any serious interruption to col lege study, commercial career or trade apprenticeship. In the next place, such a system would be strictly democratic, for it would distribute the military burden equally; upon rich mans son and poor mans son alike. Moreover military discipline is a wholesome mental and moral disci- pline. Of course, the professional pa- cifists will fight the pending measure, but they would oppose anything that called for military defense in any shape or form.
 People who think calmly and in terms of true patriotism will eventual ly come to the universal service way of thinking.

LOVES PHILOSOPHY

By Shelley.
 The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean. The winds of heaven mix forever With a sweet emotion. Nothing in the world Is single;
 All things by law divine In one anothers being mingle,
 Why not with thine? See, the mountains kiss the heaven. And the waves clasp one another. No sister flower would be forgiven If it disdains it's brother. And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea. What are all these kissings worth If thou kiss not me?

 called by to see my friend, John Frye. at the Traders National and found that the number of his savings 6epositors had greatly increased and that the amount of other deposits was rapidly growing. This same condition prevails at the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank Will Manly says their savings depart ment is growing with leaps and bounds.
 
 The reason we believe that children should be encouraged to save comes from the fact that once the saving habit has been acquired. the way to independence is open. Some people inherit property; others secure 1t by a. stroke of luck, but the only sure way of accommodating wealth Is by saving.
 A careful study of the methods pur- sued by men who have acquired wealth reveals the fact that the sure founda- ton of fortune is laid by saving. What ever may be the later operations of men eminent in the world of finance. the be- ginning of competence is uniformly found to be in spending less than one earns and saving the surplus.
 
 A savings account for your child or grandchild will prove a happy solution of the dilemma in which you find yourself when seeking an appropriate remem- brance for his or her birthday.
 never cared particularly for the ca reer of H. c. Prick until I read of his generosity in protecting the children from loss in great bank failure in Pittsburg. He took not only a generous but a broad view that if the savings of the children were lost it would discourage them from ever trying to save. It was one of the biggest and humanest acts of his Iife
 was glad that the electorate in this state at last awoke to the shameless con- ditton in which savings depositors found themselves when the bank with whose keeping they had trusted their funds broke. and was permitted to give prefer ence to checking accounts Too long had dependent widows, and hard working men and children been discriminated against. Such condition was a hindrance to thrift.
