 As the hours passed yesterday there was added interest in the Birmingham, and the several clerks at headquarters were kept busy preparing the blanks and explaining the present status of the gov ernment bonds. It is explained that Bir- mingham will do her part in purchasing the bonds, and by the end of the week organizations. which have named com mittees to sell the bonds, will be ready to make reports of progress.
 Lee McGriff and Arthur Wellborn, who are working out of the liberty loan com mittee headquarters, visited Ensley yes- terday and got reports from the persons in charge of selling the bonds there.
 ENSLEY DOING HER BIT
 We found that Ensley is doing her bit " said MT. Wellborn, and promises to do more. It appears that Ensey IS doing more than Birmingham toward the cause of liberty in the United states.
 By close cooperation, and by making a house toulouse canvass many more Birmingham citizens will buy the bonds than could possibly be disposed of from central headquarters or from the banks. Unusual interest already is being shown in the bonds and the canvassers will be able to explain in detail all features. It is our intention to place a bond in every home. if possible, and by cooperating the several organizations and associa- tions in the Birmingham district will keep before the people the importance of taking at least one bond of $50 or $10o."

Ho1berg of Saks, John Anderson of Piztiz, Nor ton Simpson of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, Henry K. Beaumont of the Beaumont Ad- vertising company.

 Between 100 and 15O young and pro- gressive members of the K1wanIs club of Birmingham, after having elected Mer- meeting at the Southern club at noon yesterday, subscribed for one or more liberty bonds. Every member of the club bought a bond after Mir Barnett had made his speech of acceptance. There are no records of any other organization in the city taking so many of the bonds, and MT. Barnett said, following the meeting, that he was gratified that this should be the first official act of members of the club after electng new officers.
 Members of the club nave shown that they are not only willing to preach buy a bond but are willing to buy themselves and it is only natural that I should be happy after each member agreed to take one or more bonds" said Mir. Barnett, who is president of the Barnett Lumber company. MT. Barnett is chairman of the liberty loan committee of the Kiwanis club.
 A report of the meeting of the Bir- mingham Real Estate exchange yester- day, which was made to the liberty loan committee, shows that a committee, rep resenting several organizations, was named to sell the bonds, and promises were made that each member would do his best to look after the territory to which he was assigned.
