TRIBUTE RIFLES.

grad district, which was refused.

ernment. Bridges between the work
ingmen's quarters of the city and the

'DR. EDMONDS TALKS
 ON THE BROOD"
Class Distinctions Form Basis of Sunday Evening
 Address at the Lyric

"The Brood was the subject of the sermon delivered by Dr. II. M. Edmonds at the Lyric last night. His text was taken from the fifteenth chapter of Luke. When Jesus uttered his great desire to gather Jerusalem together as a hen her brood He showed Himself to be not only a great patriot, but also a great inter nationalist as we'll" said Dr. Edmonds. He desired and yearned but He could not compel because of the power of choice that was theirs as it is ours. He yearned to take that great city of differences and controversies and inconsistencies and melt it into one brood of common spirit of love and unity"
 Tn defining "The Brood" MT Edmonds said: "The world is divided into three classes; The upper crust which is com posed of intellectual financial and aFtis- tic snobs who consider themselves a coterie select, the upper tendonL the real 400, to whom the existence of fhe other classes is of no consequence. The lower crust because of lack of money, posi- tion and education, think themselves di- vided, sequestered and really are self ostracised because of their attitude to the others.
 Between these two extremes one finds the brood the great mass of humanity gathered together by common interest Community interest in it's personnel is both rich and poor. youth and age, here are no distinctions of wealth, only of true worth and into this great company money will not purchase entrance. To feel the pulse, to get into the warmth of it, to be in it and of 1t, we must lose our selves for the good of the whole. The lip- eral has patience with the conservative and vice versa, youth and age meet on common ground the occident and the orient meet, leaning one on the other.
 The outstanding characteristic of the Nazarene was His absolute ignoring Of class distinction. His friends we're both the lowly and the great.
 "Tt Is not the possessing, but the per- sonality that is the great thing, the only thing that counts. With the spirit of un- rest and uncertainty prevalent now with the feel of war in the air, when every heart is torn with fear and love and pa triotic fervor, this spirit of love for the mass is coming to the front. We are forgetting our differences and creeds and politics and sectionalism and are one people, one country, ready to offer our- selves for our common flag"
 Announcement was made that mid week service had been arranged from 5 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon at Temple Emanu-El for the benefit of those who cannot attend the night service.
 The offertory was sung by Mrs. Staple ton of Milwaukee one of the biennial visitors.

Mrs. S. J. Sollie of Myrtlewood of- fers suggestion to city people and to country people on how to save money this summer.
 It is nothing less than practical plan for canning fruits and vegetables Ion the shares" -~ She says the country people have the fruits and vegetables but no cans or jars. and the city people have the cans and jars but no fruits Therefore, why not get together? She writes
 To the Editor of The Herald:
 Everyone is talking of how to increase or conserve the food sup ply. I wonder why this plan wouldn't help: Every year on ev- cry farm there is a large quantity of fruit and vegetables that go to
 waste. All of the farming pa pers will assure you of that Do you know why? Of course, care 1essness has something to do with it. but with the most of us it is not a lack of sense, but of dollars and cents. We are not able to get the cans, jars, rubbers, canners and other supplies necessary.

TRAVE[ERS ID URGE MORE FOOD CROPS
President B. P. Kirkpatrick Writes Letter Asking the Members to Help in
 Food Preparedness

President E. P. Kirkpatrick of the Alabama Travellers has mailed to each member of that organization letter, urging him to make the start this morning by talking nothing but the scarcity of foodstuffs and the import ance of the farmers planting food crops, in order that the food supply in Alabama will be sufficient to feed the people of the state
 The letter, which Is signed by Pres dent kirkpatrick and Secretary A. Coke Smith. follows:
 Every man has a duty to per form during this war crisis-as an association we have one to per form. Already some of our mem bers, subject to the call, have joined the colors great many of our membership are over the age limit for actual service. Our vocation Is such that we could not render efficient service in the home guard until necessity re- quires it. and until then we can do valiant service in another di- rection.
 "One of the great needs of our government Is to Increase the production of foodstuffs. Local or ganizations are doing much along this line. but there Is need of statewide agitation and promulga- tion of this movement at once, for getting the farmers to plant more foodstusfs as the planting time will soon be over.
 We know of no more patriotic duty the Alabama traveller can perform than for every man, when he starts out Monday morning, April 23. to talk the scarcity of foodstuffs and the importance of @ sufficient amount of food pro- ducts being raised to feed not only Alabama. but furnish some to the rest of the nation as we'll Do your best, boys, we are depending on you. We know you fully un- derstand the situation and can dis seminate the necessary information to the merchants and farmers"

MONDAY MORNING
By JEFF BAILEY

One instance Is known where a Bir- mingham man enlisted as a private and went into camp at Montgomery last spring; was made a first sergeant then applied for a commission in the recruiting service since physically he was barred from active .duty by minor defect. This man had a record. Of II years In the Alabama National Guard, serving the last four years as a captatn,( but he was refused the ap- pointment and 1t was given to man who was minus that excellent record.
 Lieutenant Thach has the right ideas. and is entitled to express them for he practiced what he is preaching haVlng enlisted as private and it Is 10 be hoped that Alabamians will fol. low his example and be- equally as successful in receiving the deserved promotion Lieutenant Thach waa awarded.
 There is certainly one subject in Bi~. mingham that has war topics crowded Tor honors If you open your ears OH the cars, the street corners or in hotel lobbies, and that is planting gardens.'
 The usual old baseball sap was over taken by the sudden rise of the food preparedness campaign enthusiasm and 1t is surprise that Colonel Riddle of Rickwood fame hasn't planted a garden Tn the old horsehide orchard and had Proxy Baugh to put ban on anything but 'bingles," making it "out'' for a player to poll hit of more than one bag Keep off the grass signs are soon to be replaced with keep off the garden, notices.
 What a contrast--Blrmingha Railway. Light and Power company cars-1Oo of them-will advertise on the end billboards beginning May l. the food preparedness campaign instead of wrestling matches. oall games and theatres. Reminds one or Dr. Stuarts two surprises related at the Good Roads associate meeting, when he said: "Russia's declaration for prohibition and Arkansas indorsement of good roads were two things never ex- pected to live to see"
 In few days you will see inserted in all ads of local merchants the slo- gans of the publicity committee of the Community club.
