In order 10 insure a steady sup

beans and lettuce may be planted
every three or four weeks, when
ever the space is available. Some of
these can be planted in the spaces

other crops.

MEN CAN SPECIFY COMPANY OR UNIT
 THEY WANT 10 JOIN
Captain Jordan Points Out Fact That Recruits Have Option in Enlisting
 in Service

Capt. Mortimer H. Jordan of Company K, Jefferson Volunteers, Fourth Alabama regiment. is in Birmingham from Mont gomery to spend Sunday Yesterday he called attention to some of the features of recruiting for the National Guard, which are not generally known.
 "The guard is now being brought up to full strength" said Captain Jordan, "and man who wants to enlist in this branch can specify to which regiment and com pany he prefers to be attached. The re- cruiting office for each of the Alabama regiment is located at regimental head quarters with the adjutant In charge. First regiment headquarters are at Mo bile, Second regiment at Birmingham. Fourth regiment at Montgomery, and the Cavalry regiment at Anniston.
 The only two local companies which are in the Fourth regiment are K com pany, of which I am in command, and D company, of which Capt. Lacey Err mondson is in charge. It may be that there are some of the boys in Birming- ham would like to join these companies.
 This can easily be done although our recruiting office is loacted in Montgom- cry. Simply notifying the adjutant of our regiment is all that is necessary. There are only about B vacancies in my com pany, but there are practically enough prospects in sight to fill up this list now.
 Although each regiment has it's own recruiting headquarters. 1t should be borne in mind also that any of the regular United States recruiting offices can re- cruit man for the guard as well as for the regular army places"

.COFF|N'S ADVICE IS MEETING RESPONSE Sevier Says People of South Especially to Heed This
 Timely Warning

| The statement of Howard E. Coffin of l the advisory commission of the council l of national defense as published in The Age-Herald yesterday morning meets with a warm response among the thoughtful
 business men of Birmingham. MT. Coffin pointed out that while waste fitness should be curbed there should be no hysterical economy which would upset the normal business activities of the na- ton.
 The statement of MT. Coffin appeals to me most strongly" said L. Sevier, general executive agent of the Southern
 railway in Birmingham. "As he points out, there is the most urgent necessity for conservatism in meeting conditions confronting us at this time.
 Everyone wants to do his part and to
 make the nations resources count to the
 greatest possible advantage against the enemy. But this cannot be done by cut ting down everything to such point that it will paralyze a lot of our industries. What Is needed is to keep everything to
 such point that 1t will paralyze a lot
 of our industries. What Is needed is to keep everything and everybody busy. T feel strongly that the advice given by MT. Coffin Is most timely and snould
 have the thoughtful consideration of the
 entire American people and especially those of us in the south"

TALLADEGA FURNACE WILL GO INTO BLAST E. J. Bird and Associates Getting Plant Ready for
 Making Iron

One more active blast furnace in op- eration within the next 90 days or so will probably be the record at Talla- dega, due to the acquiring of the blast furnaces there by the Bird Coal and Iron company.
 Alabama pig iron flows so liquid and satisfactorily that there is universal demand for it by foundrymen, machinery manufa cturers, consumers of basic pig iron. This seems to have prompted E. j.. Bird and associates to acquire the fur mace and ore lands and place the prop erty in operation.
 The company officers are: E. J. Bird, president; Glenn C. Bull of the Amer treasurer; Floyd T. Mckay of New York, secretary; E. J. Bird III, general superintendent and J. T. Shielding, fur mace superintendent. MT. E. J. Bird has had much experience in Ashland, Ky, and the Ironton, O., iron district, also at Chicago, while E. J. Bird III has had blast furnace and steel plant experience al Milwaukee, Wis, and Wheeling, w. Va, and all hands are experienced in blast furnace practice Besides ore lands in Talladega county, some red or lands are owned in Etowah and DeKalb coun- ties.
 This furnace and lands originally were owned by the president of the Cincin- nati Hamilton and Dayton railroad, Eugene Zimmerman, the father-in-law of the Duke of Manchester and upon several occas sions the latter visited the properties.

development possible in that great river would be too much to say The only question affecting the nitrate board in that connection is whether g power process shall be selected or one of the various chemical processes which have lately been devised and seem very possible of large results. I share your hope that some day the Tennessee river will be improved by the building of the great dams which are projected at the Muscle Shoals, and that the power of that river will be utilized in our industry while the river itself will be made navigable for the transportation of commerce to the sea.
