Every Little Helps.

We all are doing wha< we can
to make the war big success, to
help along the Red Cross plan, or
to alleviate distress. | see the
busy women knit, as down the vii
lage street | come, | watch their
shining needles fit, hear their
silver thimbles hum. | mark the
farmer as he shucks his corn and
throws it i'll a van, and he, while
earning needed bucks, is helping,
like little man. | watch the poet
slug his Tyre, and sing glad songs
about the flag; and his poor ef-
fort may inspire some man who
finds his courage sag. | note the
grocer sell his prunes; he asks a
modest price per pound, and as
he nails the picayunes, he helps to
make the wheels go round. The
pastor of the village kirk, who in
his pulpit takes his stand and
urges men to pray and work, is
helping, too, to beat the band. All
men who pass along smile,
word of courage and Of cheer are
doing something worth the while,
they help to bring our triumph
near. He does not help who idle
stands, who saws no wood, who
tills no soil, who loafs around with
empty hands discouraging the
lads who toll.

SHERIFF II. BATS0N
 ISSUES STATEMENT.
Expresses Appreciation of Loyalty of Friends During
 Recent Investigation

Tn appreciation of the stanch loy- alty of his many friends and declar- ing that the principle of law enforce ment in Jefferson county has been in dorsed. Sheriff Thomas J. Batson makes the following statement which lis explanatory:
 Birmingham, May 1, 1917- ITO My Friends and the Citizens ci
 Jefferson County:
 "I have Just been completely vindl- cated by the supreme court of Ala hama at the hearing of the impeach- ment proceedings brought against Te as sheriff of the county.
 These charges were brought. I am impelled to believe. at the lnstigation of certain interests which I do no; believe represent the rank and file o1 the good citizenship of this county ol state, and while they have forced me to defend myself at an enormous ex- pense of time and money, l have felt and still feel that I was fighting not alone for my own vindication but alsc for a principle and also for the inter- ests of the thousands of good people in Jefferson county
 ITO the hundreds upon hundreds oi my ITl6nQS WHO ndNc SO SldQly Not unteered their time and means to as sist me in every possible way, thsr. are no adequate words to express my heartfelt appreciation.
 q never before realized the full meaning of friendship and while il has been impossible for me, during the course of these proceedings, tt personally express my appreciation tc everyone who has contributed in any way to my defense. I have awaite' this time when the supreme tribunal of the state should review all the evi- dence which could be produced to make this statement and know of no per ter way by which to reward the fai h full zeal and earnest work of my friends than to promise that with thei' cooperation and the help of an all- wise God. I will to the end of my term of office continue to enforcs their laws and to resist the efforts oi such sinister interests as would at tempt to break down and bring into disrepute the laws of our state; tha' in the good year 1919 I expect to leave this office holding the same measure of esteen. and confidence in my integ rity and character as when I enteres upon it's duties In 1915. Very respect. fully, THOMAS J. BATSON.'

 TICK RESOLUTION
Matter to Come Up for Passage To- morrOw-Details of Tentative
 Proposition Outlined

Action on the resolution to continue the work of tick eradication in the county was deferred until tomorrow by the board of revenue of Jefferson coun- ty, owing to the absence from the city of Jere Gwin, president. At the meet ing of the board yesterday morning Frank Hewitt brought up the question of the resolution agreed upon at con- ference of special citizens committee, the government tick experts and the members of the board held Friday, and urged its adoption Members of the board suggested that it would be bet ter to wait until all the members of the board were present before taking action and the matter went over until tomorrow.
 It is understood that the resolution lis to the effect that the dipping of cattle in this county will be continued until the tick evil has been entirely abolished, but that cattle free from ticks should not be required to be dipped gain.

The city of Birmingham has the honor of being the first city to subscribe to the $2, ,0O0, 100000 Liberty Loan bond issue, which will be offered to the citizens of the United States until June 15 the issue to be dated July 1. 1917, bearing s1z per cent interest, convertible into bonds of higher interest in case such bonds are issued later. The Birmingham city com mission wired Secretary McAdoo to list the city for $1Oo,OoO worth of the bonds on April "A.
 Following the patriotism of the city commission Birmingham citizens through their bankers have been responding readily to the call of the government through Secretary of the Treasury Mo- Adoo, and it is conservativey estimated that Birmingham banks will handle at least S500,000 worth of the bonds for their customers and for themselves, as every bank is called upon to help in this way.
 REQUESTS NO PUBLICITY
 In view of the fact that Secretary Mo GAdoo has requested that no publicity be given the transactions for bonds by local bankers, no information could be secured from officials of Birmingham banks as to the exact amount of the subscription
 
 that approximately $2500O0 has been sub scribed. However, it is known that one bank wired Secretary McAdoo a stimulat- ing offer last night and another is said to have handled s50,00O worth so far, and the lists have hardly opened as yet
 As to the action of local banks in buy ing for their own institutions, it is q matter that will have to be handled by the finance committee, and in almost every instance the reply, upon inquiry. was that the committee had not as yet reported on their action, or had not considered the question.
 One astute banker remarked that he was of the opinion that the United States would do well to adopt the policy of the British in handling the bonds. presuming. of course, that they would be issued in small denominations. The British plan is to have working men take out stip- ulated amount of his weekly or monthly
