Massachusetts has junior Oranges in
successful operation. Why has not Yer
mont! Here is a means of keeping the
young man on the farm which appears
to have been overlooked. 1t seems as
though the literary program provided
might also stand revision. The Yer
mont Oranges are doing a noble work,
but one which might be made little
more practicable.

PRAYER FOR ITALY
 IN HOUR OF PERIL
 URGED BY DIR. EAVES

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 In view of this day having been se- lected as national day of prayer, With all humility and keen sense ot the worlds vast grief, now newly auickehed by the dreadful news from the ltalah front, I would ask all believers in the value of prayer to take home to them selves the Presidents message and earn estly to pray that the scourge of the threatened Hun invasion may be averted from Italy.
 Public and formal prayers are well enough. But the people of God of every creed and confession have the most urgent call to pray in private, 10 pray as families, to pray daily. and hourly, not merely for the end of the war, put still more for the victory of good over evil, and that all nations may gain, With out further anguish, the spiritual and social advantages which God is seeking to give them even at so great cost Pray for justice between races, classes, <sexes, sects.' creeds nations. Pray for the Abolition of suffering and death by love. Pray for the awakening of our own Ala bama people to do what, with trumpet sounds, the Lord of men calls them to do for their own neighbors.
 No greater good could come to us than that we should, with chastened spirit, begin in this hour of world crisis, one and all, to pray. Yours
 GEORGE EAVES.

BUT 3 MORE DAYS TO PAY LICENSES
|15 Per Cent Penalty on Auto and
 Business Licenses After Next Wednesday

Yesterday proved to be quite busy day in the probate clerks office. Many are just beginning to realize the fact that there are but three more days in which to procure automobile licenses as well as business licenses. and Clerk of the Probate Court J. w. Morrow states that many probably will be forced to pay the penalty fee attached after Wednesday.
 Judging from the past numbers issued and from the increased sale of cars 1t is estimated that between 5000 and 10.- O00 automobile licenses should be issued this year. At the present only about T third of this number have been issued. The number of mercantile licenses is about in the same proportion It will be impossible for the office to issue a license after Wednesday until the l6 per cent penalty fee Is paid.

ID ADJUST RED CROSS FUNDS Has Been Given Authority to Act in the Gulf
 Division

With the object in view of compiling all information regarding the s10O, eco war fund, subscriptions for which were taken by the American Red Cross some time ago, and adjusting all accounts be- tween the national organization and the respective chapters, William J. Leppert, director of the bureau of development in in the gulf division, with headquarters in New Orleans, has been named by Harvey D. Gibson, general manager of the American Red Cross to represent the war council in this division. This announcement was relayed to MT. Lep- pert in Birmingham from the New Or leans office yesterday.
 The appointment is a very important one as MT. Leppert is vested with au- division with regard to the Red Cross war fund and to make adjustments per-
 taining to that fund in accordance with the terms by which it was established. This means that quick settlement can be made with the many Alabama chapters who are entitled to receive considerable
 sums out of the war fund to, help carry on their work, but who thus far have experienced difficulty in ascertaining exactly how to obtain an adjustment from the war council at Washington.
 Under the terms. by which the war fund was established and solicited chap
 ters were to be permitted to apply to re- serve up to 25 per cent of the amount subscribed in their districts for their own activities Also where it was rep resented to subscribers that they would be enrolled as members of the chapter through the payment of their subscrip- tions, the chapter was to be allowed to deduct from the fund the amount of such membership fees.
 The fact that the collection of the sub scriptions has covered a period of sew
 eral months during which the tremen-
 dous drive organizations became dis persed. has resulted lately in some con- fusion and lack of direction, especially among chapters in outlying districts. It is not believed that any of the chapters have vet received all of their propor- ton from the war fund, and in great many instances no distribution what ever of the money has been made, but the subscriptions are held intact await ing an adjustment.
