ORDER ISSUED IN SUMMER

The order of the war department was issued during the summer and when it was not put into effect, prose- cution against the Southern was in : stituted on indictment. The case will
 be tried before Judge Grubb in Bir- mingham on December IS. The order it is understood, followed representation that additional mines, to be dependent on barge transporta- tion, could not be opened and oper- ated with navigation in the fork of the river estopped by the Southern pier, It is understood that certain men of Birmingham have prospected with the purpose of opening mines above Maxine.
 The Pratt company has represented to the war department that inasmuch as additional mines could not be op- erated for at least one year, the gov ernment should, on account of the urs- ent need of Maxine coal, postpone the effectiveness of it's order. Dr. N. A.
 Garfield, national fuel administrator,
 has in addition to army engineers, considered the case, but at present lit- tie hope of success is held out. The Southern, it is understood, plans the destruction of it's bridge Decem Der 15

3O,OOO TROOPS SAID ID BE IN ROUTE ID CAMP 'CLELLAN Birmingham Interested in Report in View of Close
 Proximity to
 This City !gs
Statement November 20. 1917
 RESOTRCES

Birmingham was keenly interested yes- terday in the report that 5000 more men are to be stationed at Camp Mcclellan in Anniston. The report lacked official confirmation last night, either from Washington or from Anniston, but Bir- mingham visitors who have been to the camp during the past few days have noted the heavy movement of new men to the camp.
 The war department and army off, cers are getting more and more strict about the movement and location of troops. The censorship on this is very rigid and is being carefully adhered to by the newspapers.
 However, the movement of so large a body as an entire division cannot fail to cause more or less comment.
 It was understood here yesterday the new men who have been brought to Anniston are regulars, many of whom come from the far west.
 Whether it be true or not that this number of new men are to be located at Anniston, it is gratifying to Birmingham to know that Camp Mcclellan. which is so near to this city, has been deemed such a worthy camp that it is honored with housing more men than any other camp in the south.

war savings certificate

When the first war savings certificate stamp is attached to the war savings certificate it is automatically convert ed into United States bond, issued and guaranteed by the government. The only difference between these and the other United States bonds is that they have a guaranteed cash value at any time the holder wishes to make disposition of them, and that the value increases every month for a period of five years. After a certificate stamp is attached to the certificate it may be exchanged for the cash value which is incorporated in and printed on the back of the certificate.
 Another question has been propounded: :: What good will my 25 cents do the government?" If every man, woman and child in the United States would lend the government only 25 cents each It would represent total of over S25- 100000. "Why do I get a s5 war sav- ings certificate stamp for from $412 to a2s?' has also been asked. The s is payable on January 1. 1923 It includes the return to you of your money with the compound interest the government will pay you. The sooner you fill up and exchange your thrift card for war savings certificate stamp, the more in terest you will receive. The war savings certificate stamps bear interest, com puted quarterly, and the thrift stamps bear none at all.
 SAFER THAN CASH
 The possession of .baby bond, or a war savings certificate partly or wholly filled, is safer than the possess sion of the same amount of currency. It has an ever increasing value and if lost is valueless to the finder, If dropped into any letter box or the postoffice it will be returned to the owner without postage. If the owner cannot be found 1t will be advertised by the postoffice department and held for 30 days, after which time it will be forwarded to the Postmaster General at Washington
 The certificates may be registered the same as any other United States bonds. and when so protected even if lost and never found the owner may recover the value from the government There is no extra charge for the registering.
 Chairman Crawford Johnson has mailed letters to the several members of the state executive committee. giving them the many ideas and suggestions used to advantage at the local head quarters. wide range of methods is being used and at present there has been no hitch whatever in the work.

The sale of the United States thrift stamps and the United States war cer- tificates began yesterday with an un- looked for rush. When Assistant Post master E. R. Norman opened the win COW yesterday morning he found one of the largest crowds seen in the post office in many days waiting at the window to purchase the new offerings of Uncle Sam.
 The lines in waiting for each variety were soon formed and it became evident that one clerk would be unable to with stand the rush, and a very short time later three clerks were placed on duty at this particular window and the con stant stream of patrons necessitated their presence until closing time.
 It is impossible to estimate the re- turns of the first days drive, but it is known that there was not time dur ing the day when the three clerks were not busy delivering the stamps and cer- tificates in amounts from 25 cents to stOo

The first drive in this war will be

BIC YIELD Of oats
WILBUR HOY GETS SIxTY-NINE
BUSHELS TO THE ACRE.

Wilbur Hoy opened up the thresh-
ing season in his neighborhood by
threshing his barley and oats last
Thursday and Friday.
A three acre field of barley yielded
10 bushels. The seed came from
Clarinda, Iowa, and is known as
Champion Beardless barley.
A rs acre field of oats yielded 1,725
or an average of 50 bushels per acre.
The seed came from the northwestern
part of the state and are known as
Iowa 103." The seed originally was
developed by the State College. This
field of oats ripened at least a week
earlier than any other field in the
neighborhood. ..

works for Mr.. Hoy sowed the same
kind of oats on a small patch of
ground and from two loads of sheaf
