west of Columbus, 1900 /. w. WIS flung
defiance in the faces Of their armed
guards as those men left them without

day.

the first westbound train through this
station they shouted. "You'll see us
back in Bisbee soon.''
The guards, 1874 strong, and who fail
ed to dump their 1000 I. w. W. "pris.
oners" at Columbus, passed through
here early today returning to Bisbee.
The cattle cars loaded with l. W. w. g
were backed ON lonely siding at Her
manos, the guards report, and the en-
9ine and caboose, bearing f. B. King,
division superintendent Of the FL Paso

back to Ell Paso.
As the engine and caboose drew away

Make Serious Threats.
When the regular passenger train
passed Hcrmanos at 1:30 this morning
the Bisbee guards boarded it on theii
return home. AT that time the l. w
W. were still in the cattle cars, coWed
by guards and their arms.
No sooner had the passenger train
got under steam than the L. W. w. be
gan piling off and jeering. 1t was at
this juncture that the threat to burn
the cars and hold up the next train was
made. Some hurled rocks after the
train. The spirit OF revolt seemed to
be famed into flame with the leaving
of the guards.
According to railway officials here,
there will be no westbound train
through Hermanos, either freight or pas.

"That's the flag Of your country"

Enough food has been wasted Tn the hotels and domestic kitchens, if 1t were properly utilized, to feed whole armies.
 The effect of the card pledge cam paign should be felt on the food SUD- ply situation almost immediately. The United States agricultural de- partment has devised many war meas ures to increase crop production and to conserve all food commodities, but the simplest and best plan was the card pledge.
 It only remains for those persons who have been active in the campaign to see to it that interest in the move ment is kept up. The war may last a long time, and every day it continues should be reminder of the food pledge.

"sMOKE.

From the Chicago News.
 Baseball players and enthusiasts who go to see the games have an expression by which they describe a pitcher whose speed and curves are up to winning form. They say he has smoke" When he is losing they say he has mo smoke"
 Among military men when they say an army has a. first rate morale they mean 1t is in winning form-it has smoke" An athletic team or an army that has lot of "quitters" has no morale, no smoke" The French nation has been tho world 5 wonder because of its morale. It's army at Verdun, at the Chemin des Danes at the Marne, gave the German high com mand an amazing exhibition of speed and curves, of efficiency and drive and uncon- querable spirit-of '.smoke."
 The people at home are the chief basis for an army5s morale. Every housewife chef and cook who follows the Hoover recommendations on food conservation is helping promote morale among the al lied troops.
 Sign the food pledge cards. Be a food administrator.

Food Conservation in
 Homes and Hotels

THE recent campaign to secure H pledges for food conservation from homes, hotels and cafes proved wonderful success, and that large results will follow may be assumed as a matter of course.
 The eagerness and enthusiasm with which heads of families enrolled them selves in this important cause was particularly gratifying to the food ad- ministration at Washington. About 90 per cent of the hotels had already promised their cooperation and it is believed that food waste will be prac- tically eliminated in that branch of endeavor.
 But the greatest saving will be found in the home. About 5000 ,000 housewives have signed, and if waste IS stopped in the family altogether the volume saved will be incalcrlablc.

Grain Elevators
 to Solve Problem

~ ROP diversification is going to NJ be the making of a new south "a new agricultural south, which will mean more prosperity for the farmer and more wealth for this section. Alabama, like the other cotton states, has raised record breaking food crops this year, and that being so the ques- tion of marketing becomes pressing.
 The marketing of bumper corn crop was in itself a problem of no small concern, but the Birmingham food preparedness bureau, organized last summer for the purpose of as- sisting the farmer in disposing of his products at good profit, has already rendered service worth while. The purpose of this organization was to rcli ve the farmer as much as possi- ble of the business of looking after tue marketing end.
 The bureau, after applying itself to important preliminary work, finds the solution of the corn problem in a system of grain elevators built on railroads Hose to sections where grain is grownl An elevator of adequate capacity hnd fitted out with auto matic cdn shelters, automatic scales and othj 1T mechanical appliances that go witS modern equipment, can be built ag a cost of about $7500.
 Several such elevators are in Aop- eration in Georgia and it is under stood that several will be built in Alabama during the coming winter. iThers is room for twenty or more, and under the leadership of the food preparedness bureau the outlook for the construction of sufficient mum
 Der to meet the demand is very bright
 The elevator establishes a ready
 casf. market for corn and that, after lall, is the chief desideratum. What ever proves a good investment in az ricultural sections of Georgia should pay kqually we'll in Alabama.
 It is a safe prediction that in the courh of a few years Alabama vii
 be E-oducing 150,000,000 bushels ot corn annually in normal seasons, ant
 that elevators will multiply accord ! ingE.

Army Boot
 and What It Signifies

1T HE American soldier who goes ll into the trenches of Europe will be equipped with hob-nailed, heavy tipped boots. On the heels will be plates shaped like horseshoe. And by that sign he conquers.
 Figuratively speaking, America entered this war to boot the Kaiser and the Kaiser's minions who have plunged Europe into bloodshed to satisfy their own vaulting ambition for world dominance. Literally, we may never be able to kick the Kaiser downstairs, but he is going to suffer a worse fate as a result of Americas participation in the war against autoc- racy. He is going to be kicked into 8 semblance of reason and common sense. He is going to be shown that the divine right of kings is a myth, that democracy is what the world has been battling for through the ages and as last exponent of autocracy he is doomed to oblivion.
 When this war is over even the Kaiser will be willing to concede that his alleged partnership with God was of his own making, that he was guilty, of blasphemy every time he coupled the name of the Deity with his schemes of aggrandizement and op- pression. The doom of Prussianism has been sounded, and whether the war ends next spring or lasts for years, the final reckoning is inevita- ble. Never again will one man, or a group of men, blinded by military pomp and power, be able to send mill lions of their fellows to the shambles of war to gratify whim or to sate the cravings of ambition.
 The American army shoe will bear watching. It is not pleasing to the eye, but it is useful. It typifies in its rugged strength and durability the spirit of Americas fighting men whc ~ill count. no sacrifice too great il the world can be made "safe fol democracy"

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

When a man Squirrns and fjdgets and starts to turn away, don't hold him by the coat lapel and start another story.
 A lot of the members of the Down and Out club are that way because they rely on luck for assistance.
 Women dress the way they do because they are different from men. The more that is seen of a man, the less there is to admire in him.
 Strawberries and honeymoons and other sweet things have very short season.
 If fat woman could see a moving pie ture of herself running to catch a street car she would wait for the next car.
 Women have no difficulty In keeping tho secrets that reflect on themselves in any way. And this goes for tho men folks, too.
 It is none of our business. But it always makes us smoker when we hear a woinar who IS wearing pair of shoes that cost $i6 complaining about the high cost of living.
 A widow believes that lot of the mar ried women of her acquaintance would like to exchange places with her. And sh- IS often correct.
 If our faults showed on the surface in the form of pimples, most of us would look ike we had scarlet fever.
 And what has become of the old tad who used to refer to dance as a hoe down or a shindig?
 After all, 1t isn't the cost of living that hurts It is the incidental expenses.
 If there were two Sundays in a week. the average man wouldn't live half as long as he does, because he usually loafs around and eats up everything in ths house on the Sabbath day. With the fond memory of the good things that mother used to make comes the recollection of how father used tc kick about thetn. An heiress may be positive in her man. ner at other times But she Is liable to be negative when you propose to her. A woman can wear straight front and vet net be straight laced.

as compared with the net earnings il the previous year.
 Nevertheless, curiously enough, the government itself, through the power oh- tained by statutory enactment actually increased the. rates charged for railroad transporta ton, the increase beginning on the very day this statement was made. Not one penny of that increase will be to the advantage of the railroads. Every cent of it will go into the federal treas ury at Washington. Every person who bought railroad ticket was charged at the rate of per cent more for it than he would have had to pay the day before. Of course, this is taxation, but it does
 seem to many persons that if the govern ment through the tax laws is able to in crease the rates for railroad transpor- tation and to receive that increase as contribution to the federal treasury in the form of taxes, then the government authorities should in fairness provide for an early increase of rates the advantage of which will go to the railroad eom-
 pany Furthermore, the increase should
 be so great as to make it possible to re
 port in the year 1918 that there had been
 falling off in the net earnings of the
 railroads of $250, ,0G0,000; instead it should
 be possible to report that instead of loss
 the railroads have gained in net earn
 ings. Transportation is the only industry
 ir the United States which has not
 gained in net earnings in recent years
 Although the money advances to the
 allies made to England by the treasury department few days ago was in the
 aggregate $435,o00,000, yet there must De
 a larger advance than this if the treasury
 department is to equal or surpass the
 bankers s loan made to Great Britain and
 France in the fall of 1915. The aggregate
 of that loan was $500000,O00. It was un-
 derwritten by the American banks and was speedily absorbed. There was no greater security behind it than is the se- curity behind a Liberty bond, namely, the faith and resources of the nation Of course, in the aggregate the treasury department has advanced to Great Britain a much larger amount than the loan made by the bankers to Great Brit ain and France in 1915 In fact, nearly the entire first liberty loan represents
 the aggregate advances made by the United States to Great Britain. Presum- ably within the next six months the ao- vances will aggregate very much larger amount than this
 Within single week the treasury oe- partment has advanced to two nations, r.raat Rritain and Italy, $665 5,0o0,000, and the swiftness with which the government acted in advancing to Italy the largest amount which tip to that time had been advanced in a single installment 10 any nation. has been accepted in the financlal district as proof that the United states will stand by Italy until the ehu' no ilat . ta,. bo1v great be the demands for sup plies intuition, coal and possibly even men, may be-

Appreciation of Drama League Work

"One of the 1ivest organizations in Birmingham and ono which is doing good work is the Drama league" said Dr. Henry NJ. Edmonds.
 "I refer especially to what the league calls extension work, which includes the promotion and encouragement of amateur work. The Dramatic club formed at Loveman. Joseph & Loebs is one of the creditable things along this line. The production of Much Ado About Betty the play which the club will repeat next week, has given a new impetus to the members as well as much pleasure.
 Tt was very human sort of thing to do-this forming of dramatic club. There is talent among people hidden away which in this manner Is brought to light and an opportunity afforded to many person to serve other than over the counter. Indeed, I know of no better activity than that which prompts the Drama league in It's en- couragement of work of this sort"

I am sure the audience would have applauded her if she had carried out what was her evident wish. He soon found his feet and made quick getaway as the theatre full of people snikered as he passed swiftly down the aisle.
 Now, I know you will think I am ex- aggerating, but the dear old soul had seven more men who had seen the picture and wanted to leave, hemmed up with her big bundle. They looked disconso- lately at one another as they called to mind the inglorious leave taking Of the two departed movie fans. Growing des- perate one gave the signai and the others get up the courage to buck the line and go over by hurdling They reminded me of a lot of sheep jumping over an imagi- nary obstacle, only their was real, i've, outspolxen, outraged female who was call- ing on heaven and earth to take notice that she was being trampled to death by lot of mannerlcss men. She now had the end seat all to heself and thought her troubles were over, and she settled down to enjoy the picture.
 The sad part about this unvarnished tale I am telling is that you who read it will think that I am making 1t all up and that it never happened. You com pliment me. I haven't power to imagine anything half so funny, as was being played out before my eyes. It Was the biggest nlckle's worth that I ever got is, the way of a sideshow. It was scrcam- ingiy funny, for as soon as the nine men had crawlcd over the old lady and her bundle on an end seat to get out, up came nine men who chrawled over her to get into the inside seats.
 Now she had a right to feel that she had not been able to properly appreciate the various reels. I sympathized wito her deeply as she lamented the fact shat

IT never seemed to have dawned upon her that she had brought trouble on her- self by .'hogging" the end seat, and that having done so, if she was determined to hold to it, she had it within her power to avoid being trampled upon by simply rising to her feet and standing in the aisle while the men passed out or in.
