It takes a real philosopher to admit that he is getting his moneys worth when he is paying alimony.
 It takes a stretch of rainy weather to make a man resolve to make hay while the sun shines.
 There are all sorts of people in the world, including the man who is so dense that it is dangerous to joke with him.
 A woman can't tell what the neigh bors will do next. but she loses no time in telling what they did last.
 A young widow can act so innocent that she can wonder how a bride can be rash enough to take a honeymoon trip with a man that she knows little or nothing about.
 The fellow who gets you into trouble is seldom the same one who shows up to help you out
 If flour keeps on going up it will soon be as expensive as the other face powders.
 Some men certainly would be smart If they were only half as bright as their noses.
 Some automobiles are just fast enough to keep ahead of the owner s income.
 Men would talk just as, much at home as they do down town if their wives would only give them chance
 There are a whole lot of men in this country who are mighty glad that the newspapers do not get all of the news.
 We often cuss the high cost of living, but it deserves a word of praise. It has fixed things so that man can't keep two flats or lead double life unless he does two mems work.

DEMAND FOR SMALL BILLS
By HOLLAND

weeks to leadership in the placing of this liberty loan, said this morning that it would not surprise him if a consider able part of the money which the gov ernment is to receive for the liberty loan, and which is speedily to be dls- bursed among the banks, whence it will be paid out in payment for supplies and munitions of war, were invested in the new loan, which will be offered before the close of the year.
 Scme of those in authority in the banks which have taken so strong part In 1a- cilitating the placing of this loan, now recall some of the experiences Of Amer icun bankers in other days when the government offered to sell bonds in or der to raise money. For instance, as recently as the administration of John Sherman as Secretary of the Treasury, many banks especially some in Boston, could not be persuaded to participate ln the refunding loan offered by MT. Sner- man shortly before the resumption or specie payments in 1879. Into these new bonds were refunded what remained or the issue of the so-called ten-forty bonds which represented the high water mark so far as the rate was concerned for gov- ernment loans during the civil war days. Secretary sherman purposed refundlng these and other bonds into 4 per cent bonds. Many bankers shook their heads doubtfully, believing that no great mar ket could be obtained for these bonds un- less the government was willing to ac- cept from 20 to 25 per cent below par for them.
 These bankers were grievously disap- pointed and very much chagrined when the success of the loan was established, the rate being par with quarter of one per cent commission being allowed. They appreciated rapidly as soon as they were issued and bankers who had the courage to subscribe for large amounts were well repaid for doing so.
 Now the question is frequently asked, not so much by bankers as by individ- uals. will the liberty loan bonds that bear 31b per cent rise much above par! To this question the answer commonly given is this: These bonds will appreciate considerably if the new loan is issued at 4 per cent and especially at Az per cent. But there is not likely to be very large appreciation of the market value Of the bonds which represent the war loans un- til the war ends. With the triumph or the allies and the conclusion of peace It is believed that these bonds. even though inc aggregate amount of them should pe as much as $1o,0oo, 100000, will appreciate rapidly and those bearing higher rate or interest will appreciate greatly.

Frank III. Crockard's
Work in Birmingham

Work in Birmingham WAFFLE regretting to lose Frank w H. Crockard, Birmingham congratulates him on the splendid recognition he has received in being made president of the Nova Scotia Steel and Iron company, one of the largest concerns of it's kind on the American continent.
 MT. Crockard came to Birmingham in 1906, as vice president and general manager of the Tennessee company, when the property was acquired by John W. Gates and associates. He has resigned that office to accept his new position, which ranks with those of President Farrell of the Steel cor poration, Chrales M. Schwab of the Bethlehem company and other great captains of industry who form bril- liant galaxy in Americas industrial life.
 A man of exceptional executive ability and broad sympathies, MT. Crockard, in addition to the important work he has performed in helping to bring the Tennessee company up to it's present state of efficiency, has aided materially in the upbuilding of Birmingham. He has taken promi- nent part in civic affairs and has been conspicuously successful in movements undertaken for the public welfare. His work in improving the living conditions of the Tennessee company's employees has won him na- tional fame.
 The Nova Scotia company controls vast coal and iron interests, and com pines with other activities the manu- facture of munitions and, steel ship building.

ASTONISHING BASEBALL FIGURES

ican leagues paid minor leagues S2,4S4,ooo for drafted players. And you cannot look OH a player in minor league as raw material Raw material has a more determinate value. The player for whom a major league club pays $10,000 may be useless, just as a player for whom pit tance is paid may become of great value.
 In other words. major league ball clubs paid in five years almost 2,500,00o in the widest of speculation In players. abili- ties It Is a system that would seem hardly to work injustice to minor leagues which are selling in what apparently Is a constantly rising market For mar ket it is, in which the sinew and brain of ball players are placed on meta- phorical block. But it is difficult to arouse sympathy for the slaves who cavort for a few months in an outdoor pastime at salaries that sometimes achieve five figures.

Southern Food
 Crops Promising

T is too soon to form any de- 0 pendable estimate of the cotton crop. The only thing that can be foretold of it is that it can but be small, for the planting in the greater part of the belt was relatively small. And in many states the boil weevil will play havoc.
 But as important as cotton is, the crops that feed man and beast are vastly more so. Especially will this be true of the south in this present year. Government experts have told us that the south must feed itself or 20 unfed. All the surplus the north and the great west can raise will be needed to feed certain of the allies, already short of food.
 It is good to know that the south has not only increased it's food acre. age, but that most of the fields are in fine condition. In this state corn never looked better the latter part of June than it does now, and there is reason to hope that Alabama will produce fully 100,000,000 bushels. The states record crop was in 1915, when the yield lacked only a few hundred bushels of the 70,000,00O mark. But as natural conditions are favorable to corn, agricultural Ala bama should always strive for a bumper crop. With the interest in farm diversification maintained the time will come when 100000, ,0O0- bushel corn crop will seem only normal for Alabama. And there should be a substantial increase in

 Newspaper men all over the country must feel sense of humiliation over the revelations regarding the leak on the Presidents peace note. The fact that two correspondents in Washington are shown to have had connections "on the side," so that they supplied confidential news to brokers offices, is reflection on the profession.
 Every reputable newspaper expects it's Washington correspondent to be a man of such integrity that public men can talk to him with the utmost freedom, knowing that no confidence will be betrayed.

THESE LAST DAYS

Firm of pressure; faithful, fond: Or an unforgotten tone From out some glad and happy day When hopes were high and hearts were
 gay.
 It helps us on our lonely way. We may not know what lies beyond Deaths dropping veil that lies between This world of ours and that unseen. But we believe that life renewed In some great scope and plenitude Will be the gift of Love divine. The proof of immortality.
