POWER ENOUGH

Work Your Tractors Night and Day
and Plow Every Acre.
National Crop Improvement Service
Many farmers will not be able to
put in their whole acreage on account
of the lack of horses or other power.
Every tractor in this county should
work night and day as long as there
remains an acre unplowed. There is
still time to put in barley, and corn
and potatoes, all three of which are
worth almost their weight in gold. We
appeal to every tractor owner to offer
its services to any man who will not
be able to get his soil prepared other
wise.

New York Life Insurance company, First Securities company and the First National bank of New York, Fidelity Trust company, Columbia Trust company, Bankers Trust.
 Mir Hepburn, in discussing this week the proposed $7,000, ,000 600 issue of gov ernment bonds, pointed out that we are now in the struggle to be victorious or to be beaten and the sooner people come to a realization of that the better. An issue as large as the one named, he said, will dispel any doubts that may remain as to the extent of our participation. y He believes that the $7000, 900 should be authorized but issued in small broken doses; also that the interest rate should be high enough to attract the very small investor He said:
 From the banking standpoint, l would say the government, like every other borrower, will have to pay the market price for funds. The disparity
 is striking between a government is- sue at 31a per cent and the Anglo French bonds. which are selling on a
 per cent basis, or the British note
 Issues, which yield per cent. The savings banks could not be expected
 to buy a bond which would return
 them less than they are paying to their
 depositors The national banks will perform q useful function as dis tributers of the bonds. but hardly an important role as buyers. The bonds must be placed with the investing pub lie"
 Certainly on any large bond flota- tions the government will have to meet 1 money market conditions, and. &s pointed out by MT, Hephurn. the Anglo French as are now selling to yield the
 investor well over 6ia per cent. How can the buyer of s5o and s100 bonds be attracted unless the income on tne government bonds is as large as the
 return now being received from the : savings banks? And if income return i inducements are offered to the small 1 investor how can the savings banks | be protected against very heavy with ] drawals of deposits? The dangers of l heavy sales of securities by the saw
 ings banks to raise funds to pay off ] depostors who want to buy govern ment bonds is another one of the prob- l loms which Wall street has been dis l cussing. It was recalled this week that 1 the first offering of Anglo French l
 per cent bonds proved to be too large | it was for $500. 000, 900, and the price 1 dropped even below the inside syndi- l cate level before the syndicate ex- | pired. After that the size of the for ! eign offerings were reduced. Certainly l 1t is important to have every offerine g 1 of our government at this time go ana | go with snap. The allies plus oui
 own army and navy could not spend | more than $1 00000. 900 in this coun-
 try during the rest of 1917. Therefore l all things considered. many of the | wisest heads in Wall street now favor
 making one or two bits at not nor
 than a $1,000,000.000 offering, thereby 1 insurine success of the issues and a' ] the same time protecting ourselves ! against wild extravasance, What woul' {, happen if 1000, ,00e 900 were placed al 1 at once in the hands of our army and
 navy? Certainly there would be a waat' of money R. L. B.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Would Use Shotguns

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: I see a notice in this mornings paper of a guard shooting at a supposed in- eendiary near one of the plants at Wood ward, but he did not get him. Now 1t seems to be the verest folly to place guards at such places and arm them with pistols or even rifles and expect them to hit a man in the dark. Why don't they arm them with shotguns, loaded with rather large shot and then they can have a fighting chance? Armed with pistols they run no risk of hitting anything, but run risk of being hit, as the man they are after is likely to be a good shot.
 What do you think about it? Yours truly, II. B. MYERS.

way. the wonderful little Englisl comedienne soon to desert vaudeville
 to become leading woman for Fatty Arbuclsle in his next comedies, and Camille Personi. the great French star will be the other headliners.
 Dhe Old Soldier Fiddlers, with Col onel Pattee still at their head, the orig 1 inal act of it's kind, created about seven years ago, will head bill Tor the first time in Birmingham. This act 1 is just as big a hit below the Mason and Dixon line as north of it. for two of the old veterans of the civil Wal fought on the side of the south. The act is particularly timely at present with war in the air for it brings be- fore the present generation a remark able lesson in patriotism; how our fathers braved death and rallied to the aid of the country a half century ago. Every member of the act is a real veteran, hero of bygone days who deserve every respect from the modern generations. The act, however is one of the most interesting and entertaining in vaudeville for every one of the old veterans is an accom- plished entertainer in some form and together make young performers look to their laurels
 The second big headliner on the bill will be Camille Personi, The celebrated French comic opera star recently ar rived in America, in her dainty one-act operetta, Butterfly Love" It's a love story told in song with a special set of scenery, showing a scene in Japan. It's thoroughly up-to- date, with a movie camera man and photoplay star, and the inevitable naval lieu tenant as the important characters. Miss Personi has wonderful voice and sweetness and charm of manner which has won her thousands of friends all over the country since she has been here.
 The third headliner on the bill will be Laurie Ordway. the wonderful Eng fish comedienne. who has been topping bills in every theatre in the country in which she has appeared. Miss Ord- way is only a little slip of a girl not quite five feet tall. and weighs 100 pounds, but her ability as a fun maker is in inverse ratio to her size. She hasn't much of a voice, but her songs are wonderful and her costumes and antics make her a riot" wherever she appears. Miss Ordway will desert vaudeville immedia tely after her pres ent tour to be leading woman for Fat ty Arbucllle in some of his latest com edies
 Other acts on this bill will be the Gliding O'Mearas. with the best ani fastest dancing act in vaudeville, and Fennell and Tyson, in musical com edy novelties.
 Kitty Gordon, the latest addition to the World film roster of big stars, will be seen in Forget -Me-Not," the first production for that company. In this Miss Gordon is seen first as a Cor. I wife of a French profligate, Marquis de Mohrivart which gives her ample opportunity to display here charms as well as her wonderful gowns.

In welcoming the foreign delega- tions, headed by Arthur J. Balfour, foreign minister of Great Britain, and Rene Viviani, minister of justic of France, the President is expected to roinl to the aspirations of the United States.
 The President had no engagements to- day and did not leave the White House a course only followed by him when en- gagged in framing the most important planS
 The character of the delegations coming here from France and Great Britain has generally been taken as an indication that they will be empowered to discuss broad questions of policy as well as to outline to the American government the war plans of the entente allies and aid the United States in avoiding the mis- takes made by them in the past.

 The fact that Russian peace agi- tators have been permitted to cross Germany from Switzerland seems also to indicate that the German govern ment at least does not desire to throw any obstacles in the way of such n movement.
