IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Rn.pberrles in November

q was surprised yesterday to see rasp- berries bearing in the middle of Novem- ber." said John c. Moses. My friend, A. Dewey Smith. who resides on North Highlands, took me to his back yard' and there showed me some bearlns stems with as many as 40 red berries on them This is remarkable, consider ing the fact that the weather has been cold enough to freeze ice. These vines start bearing in June and are stiii bearing. They are planted in the open where the north winds hit them full. I secured a dozen roots and prize them highly. Many backwards could have Der ry patches along the fence, either straw berries or raspberries, where the table could be easily supplied. All these little items count in saving. for no dessert is better than a dish of fresh berries.
 Loyalty of Sunday School Men
 The First Baptist church of Birming- ham is mighty proud of the 26 soldier boys that 1t has given to the country, said B. c. Cox, superintendent of the ouEody SCHOOL.
 I've have adopted the plan of send ing boxes to all the men. They ere scattered in the various camps in Amer ica. One is already in France and an other is on tho way. We keep track Of them and write them letters and let them know in many ways that we miss them and are praying for them, and expecting them to go straight and keep clean, and come back if 1t be Gods will to take up active work with us once more.
 What we arc doing ought to be done by every Sunday school in the land. Many are alive to the situation, but some have not yet walked up to It's importance and to their opportunity. l know it's the custom among some who do not know any better to throw off on young man who takes his religious life seri- ously by saying, Oh, he Is only goody-goody Sunday school man, but when this war is over, it will be seen that a man can be true to his Master and yet fight. Cromwelfs men taught the lesson to Cavalier England, and our boys are going to drive the lesson home in America"

Duties of s.Four Minute Men.

q have tackled many forms of pub lie speaking" said Frank Dominick the well-known lawyer, who has been SD actively engaged in making four minute" addresses in the theatres, but this thing of walking out before the footlights to try and hold the attention Of an audience that has gathered to be amused, is no easy thing to do.
 q have, however, always been cour- teously received, as my hearers were good enough to realize that 1 was merely trying to serve my country and was under orders like any soldier doing my bit think all of the four minute men ought to be thanked for the part they are daily and nightly playing throughout America, as what they are doing here in Birmingham is being re- peated throughout the country. It is an honor to be selected for the work, and yet it is no easy thing to keep appear
 ing before the public"

Conditions in Retail Business


 Our business is better than it has been for several years in the amount of money we are taking in," said John Warren, but I do not think the volume is very. much greater.
 "The high price of everything runs the amount of sales up even when the people are not really buying any more than during past seasons. On the whole, however, I think business is improving but there has been no runaway market here like there has been in many other sections.
 Birmingham pay rolls are indeed large, but the merchants do not begin to get their proportion of the wages paid out by the big industries as large per cent of it goes into the commEs- saries If the high price of coal, iron and steel could have made the mer- chants of this city prosperous we would have been on easy street long ago. Our present hope is in smaller plants that will operate without being engaged in the mercantile business as a side-line."

Christmas Boxes Must
Go Before November IS

Christmas boxes to the soldiers in
France must be sent before Nov Is The
Government has fixed that day as the
last day for the shipping of Christmas
packages to the United State soldiers
in Europe, an advice is being given to
mail before that time to insure Christ
mas packages reaching their destination
on time.
Uncle Sam is advising against the
usual putting off of buying presents until
last minutes, for SO many things must
be done at that time that there is consid-
cradle little danger Of delay in mailing
the bundle to Europe and, as a conse-
quence, failure of the bundle to arrive
on time. Rather, say Federal authorities,
mail what is ready as soon as it is ready
and If there is more to be mailed befoie
the date set as the closing one for Christ
mas shipments, send them separately.

1t appears that the farmers blame the

der il they ever use their gray matter

farmers themselves, are primarily to
blame for this same shortage Of cars,
that they are continually fighting the
railroad companies and exhorting the

in freight rates on farm products
Surely these farmers ought to know
that the railroads would he only too
glad to furnish them with all the cars
they wanted if the farmers would only
permit the railroads to obtain sutfici-

If the farmers would only work with

over) instead of working against them,
the tillers of the soil would profit not
only financially but intellectually.

LAST CALL TO JOIN
LOCAL MILITARY COMPANY
Meetings Will be Held Tonight at
Cambridge, EastOn And Federals-
burg-GovernOr to Address Meet
ing at Opera House.

The delay in drawing the numbers
of the men who will be called by the
Governor to service has afforded one
last opportunity to the men who pre-
fer to volunteer instead of being
drafted. This chance will remain
open until midnight tonight, after
which time Captain Hirst, of Com
pany C, will no longer be able to
receive applications for enlistment.
In order to give all who may have
considered enlisting one more chance
Company G will drill and go through
manouvers this evening, commencing
about six o'clock. Following this,
there will be a mass meeting at the
Grand Opera House, where short ad-
dresses will be made by number OF
speakers, among whom will be His
EXcellency, Governor Harrington,
Judge Henry, V. Calvin Trice, and
others.
Meetings will also be held at Fed
eralsburg and Easton. The Com
pany does not lack many men now,
and Captain Hirst is earnestly in
hopes that before midnight he will
have the required number, so that
the Company may be made up entire
ly of enlisted men. The drill and
signal practice will take place on the
Seminary grounds.
