Organizing Farmers

T am now state organizer of the Farmers Protective League of Ala oama, said Judge Sam A. Adams of Clanton. T have so far organized only four counties, Chiffon, Fillmore, Talla- poosa and Macon, but others will fall in line as soon as they learn the aims and benefit of the organization, The bankers campaign, with Mrs. Mathis to stir the people to plant foodstuff, was helpful, but now that it has been raised we must go step further and see that 1t gets fair market price.

 When you buy bond you are not giving to Uncle Sam You are simply lending. Every security issued by the government is as good as gold, and if the holder of one of these liberty bonds should ever care to sell it the market price would be above par.

 This war that the government is financing by the issuance of bonds is Americas war, and every man, woman and child will be vitally affected in 1 the outcome.

 But it has always been the purpose of Secretary McAdoo and Of that great body of men who have organized sell ing agencies to place much the greater part of the bonds in the handssof those whose possessions are not large. It would be regarded as a triumph q much importance if individual sup scriptions of $5O00 or less were so greatly in the majority that it might he inferred. were the time for making subscriptions to be continued that these subscribers in small amounts would absorb the entire issue.
 Those who have undertaken to per feet the wonderful organization, na- ton wide, which Is now occupied in selling the bonds to tho American peo- pie are not apprehensive, lest the or fering should not be entirely success full. They base their view upon the fact that this organization Is perhaps the finest example of swift and efficient nationwide mobilizing of salesmen that the country has ever had. We have vet to hear what tho results of this selling campaign In tho far west and in the south are, but 1t is known in this city that Wonderfully per fected machine for carrying on this selling campaign is now diligently at work in all parts of the country; so diligently that probably every person who is presumed to have the means for subscription for small bond or I who is willing to discount his future l savings so that he may thereby buy
 one, will be approached in the expecta-
 ton that the great majority of them
 will accept the opportunity.
 l How great the savings of the peo-
 pie are each year Is illustrated by the
 report which has come from Albany I to New York, telling of the aggregate amount of the savings of the wage earners of New York state in the fiscal year which ended on June 30, last.
 These savings were somewhat in ex- cess of s500.00o,00o, or one-sixth of the amount needed for absorbing the
 entire second liberty loan. In addition to this $500, 100000 the wage earners received in dividends or interest $71,- 100000. From all parts of the coun- try come reports that the wage earn

WARRANTS ISSUED
 FOR VACRANCY AND
 INCITING OF RIOTS

Warrants. charging the rank and file with simple vagrancy and the lead CTS with melting riot. penal offense, are in the hands of Sheriff Harry C.. Wheeler and will be served upon any member of the Bisbee deportees who strayes back into the Warren District. This method of handling the situation supplants that used some weeks ago and is expected to rid. and keep hid, the city and District of those who were eliminated from Bisbee on July 12.
 It is understood that complete list of the deported men is in the hands of the officials and when one appears in the city he is immediately arrested. He is then brought before one of the several courts in the Warren District and the case disposed of.
 It is patent, from the precautionary steps taken to safeguard the communi- ty. that, though the system Is changed the determination of the people of the city is to continue without I. w. W'ism or its kindred evils.

 NOT BE STARVED IS
 STATED BY GEORGE
(By Review Leased Wire.)

LONDON, Aug. 16.-A message of hope and quiet confidence in the fu- ture was given ro the British nation today in the house of commons by Premier Lloyd-George. The people of the British Isles cannot be starved. notwithstanding the German submar- inc campaign and the military situa- tion grows more hopeful. fhe difficult ties of the allies will grow less and their power increase, while the troub les of Germany will increase and her power fall away.
 This is the supreme hour for pa- tience." the premier declared, in con clusion. For courage. for endurance. for hope, for unity. Let us go through this hour with a temper that will en- able us to destroy a great military despotism. Let us go through this hour with the old temper of our race so that next year we shall begin to reap the fruits of our valor."
