and straightforward beyond cavi, scru- pulously fair to his clients-and not ac- countable to anyone else, since it is mo- body else's business.
 Is he developing? Yes, responsibility has broadened him, and it may be that experience will in time teach him the necessity for cultivating some of the quail ities he now scorns. More than one event of the last three years has been calcu- lated to him the common sense wisdom of striving honorably to gain the good will of his fellow men and the shortsighted- ness, not to say. folly, of antagonizing and irritating them by ignoring or flout- ing them. If J. P. Morgan would only reveal himself to the public as he reveals himself to his friends he could and would without any sacrifice of self-respect, be- come one of the most popular financiers in the country. His ntmates find him large-hearted, red-blooded, democratic, considerate, jovial in short. a humane, lkable, companionable fellow.
 q would trust Jack Morgan behind my back as far as any man living" was the rir ging declaration of a prominent banker not of the Morgan group. T don't think any amount of money, which would be small consideration or any amount of prestige, which would be strong con sideration, would for a moment tempt him to do what he Knew would be un- fair or unjust. He may not always analyze things exactly right; in the very nature of things he could not be expected to have a broad social view, for his en- vironment has always been that of the most powerful fnanciers, friends of his, own and of his father. He is inexpeJ renced in many matters; but he lives up to the highest standard he knows"

AN AERIAL NIGHT RAID

He has cut his motor and is sweeping down to his target. The long shed in which we sleep is banked on each side with bags of earth, so unless q bomb hits the roof one is in compar- ative safety. The German airman again switches on his motor and you know from the pitch he is at feeble height. You are also aware of the fact that he Is getting ready to aim, and you pass a few tense moments-you pass them pulling on your shoes, throwing an overcoat over your shoulders, and rushing frantically out to the shelter cave near the rear door of the shack. While the crowd is herding into the haven there Is an earsplitting crash, accompanied by burst of light. Dirt and stones splash down like rain. A second or two aft erward another bomb exp1odes, but farther off. There is lapse. A few more detonations and you hear the enemy machine speed up and hum away in the direction of the lines Its work Is done and you go back to your bunk

FRANCE SINGS OUR SONG

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 It is said that in all parts of France the people are singing our Star Spangled Banner" Those who do not know the lines or the tune are learning them. However, the piece is doubtless generally familiar to Frenchmen; at least the air Is known to them. We wonder if our people know the "Marseillaise Hymn, than which no greater battle hymn exists? :? It is the Fernch national anthem. It was written during the French revolution. the source of it's inspiration being the march from Marseilles of the 600 who were mot afraid to die' even at the hands of the kings hired Swiss soldiers. It was writ ten by Rouget de Lisle.
 It is well that our people should become more familiar with this famous hymn. If one people ever loved another this American people loves the French. Today we are going to the aid of the French re- public even as the French came to the rescue of the. colonies when the colonies were struggling against autocracy for a place in the sun and for a share in world avenge wrongs against our own country Actually we are not assailing Germany because she attacked France, yet every true American heart rejoices that what ever we contribute to the defeat of Ger many will be so much help to France. Recollection of the very timely aid tho French gave us in the American revolu- ton cannot fail to stir our fighting men deeply as they move against the common enemy.

Get the best of man in an argu- ment and he will say: Now, why can't you be sensible and listen to reason?"
 A husband is a man who gets mad at the weather and tries to take it out on his wife.
 Another difference between man and a woman is that man thinks he can't have a good time unless he spends lot of money.

Potatoes Demanded

Potatoes Demanded
 1EVERY farmer and every man @ who has a garden can help in this time of war. The fact is that without intensive efforts on the part of tillers of the soil in this broad land of ours the masses will be in danger of facing starvation. And yet not all the people seem to realize the gravity of the situation. Probably few realize it.
 If everybody who is able to con- tribute to food production would only fed; not only so, but there would be large surplus for the entente allies.
 This has been favored country in food harvests. Even when crops have been short there has been enough food for home consumption and a good deal to spare for export. It will be diff ferent from now until the war is over, and even year or two after peace is proclaimed.
 The United States government is urging increased food and feedstuff production, which means increased planting of corn, peanuts and velvet beans and increased growing of swine and cattle.
 At a food conservation conference held in Tennessee this week it was stated that the farms of that state average only one acre planted in po- tatoes. And the small average of potato production in Tennessee will represent the average in many other southern states. No wonder the south is backward in the matter of feeding itself.
 In the north the Irish potato crop is reckoned with as one of the most profitable In the south compara- lively little attention has been paid to the Irish potato crop-the edible that is in most demand for everyday table use. Even though the meal be scant the potato is there; if not the family is in dire want
 The south can raise Irish potatoes

James R. Mcconnell in National Serv-
 ice Magazine.
 N NIGHT aerial bombardment, A\ when you are the target, fur nishes a good many thrills. You will be sleeping quietly, rolled up in warm blankets. when suddenly you are awakened by the firing of cannon by sharp reports that are quite dis tinct from the dull roar of artillery on the front The aircraft bat tery barks out four times. There is g. couple of seconds wait and then pum pum- pun pun comes faintly to your ears as the shrapnel breaks high in the air
 "Eh there's a Boche!" cries out one of the men. from his stall down the hall.
 "D-n the Boche," comments an- other.
 The firing grows louder as a nearby battery picks up the night raider. Soon you hear the rhythmic hum of the Germans motor. From the sound he is quite low Then there is no noise.

THE LEADER

By Robert Underwood Johnson. This the man they deemed of languid
 blood, A schoolman versed in books, who,
 Hamlet-like, Showed but heat-flashes powerless His resolution blighted in the bud They knew him not-nor we, who
 trusted him. Seel how his breeding purpose, talk
 ing form. Falls like swift lightning from long,
 gathered storm, While Hateful thunder shakes the
 round worlds rim. His country, stirred by him to lofty
 strife, Sharing his vision, with high pas
 sion thrills; It climbs. renouncing minor goods
 and ills. And stands beside him at the crown of
 life. | To a new knighthood he ordains the
 brave To be soul-worthy of a freemans
 birth Not for our wrongs alone, but that on earth None snail be master. none shall be
 slave. But yesterday secret of his heart, His welcome message floods the
 globe like-light; It cheers the farthest darkness by
 its might; Its boldness makes the undissceptered
 start. Where it has spread, by sea or noun
 tain side. Or by the bivouac of the caravan. The lowliest feels a part of Heavens And stands erect with newly-wake
 pride. Beleaguered Liberty takes heart Hearing afar the rescuing bugles
 blowf And even in the strongholds of the
 foe His name becomes the whispered hope of men.

Uncle Sam Will Put
His Iradiams to Work

IUHS U1N@lQ@9HHS SO w VII AS
 THE red man has indeed fallen O upon evil days, so far as per sonal glory is concerned. Indians in Oklahoma who are under the guar dianship of the government will be "drafted'' for farm work. Gabe B. Parker, superintendent of the five civilized tribes, has received instruc- tions to that effect from Cato Sells, Indian commissioner. A conference has been called for today of the field force of the tribes and government farmers. It is estimated that about 30,000 restricted Indians will be en- gagged in farm work under govern ment supervision.
 When the Indian roamed the plains of this country and threaded the trackless forests, an untrammeled child of nature, war was ms profeS- sion and hunting his pastime. Since a food supply was chiefly obtained by hunting and fishing, there was a utilitarian side to his sport, but til lage of the ground was beneath his notice. The squaw must perform menial tasks while her proud master sat and smoked meditatively, or else followed those pursuits in which his skill and prowess were shown.
 Now that the nation is feverishly preparing to smite it's enemies hip and thigh, the red man, who once smelled battle from afar and went to it rejoicing, will be put to work, for sooth, making things grow in order that other men. may fight on full stomach.

MPuLL THE CoRK.y

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 The Hampton (S. @ Herald tells the subscriber who doesn't know thing when asked for news, that the way to help the editor in the making of good paper is to pull the cork:'
 Everybody knows something, and most people know lot of something's that are worth telling and would make breezy and newsy stories, but they just bottle 1t up in the walls of their dome and forget that it is there. Sometimes the editor is able to pry 1t loose word for word until he gets the story, when 1t would be the easiest and simplest thing in the world to let it all out in a rush. Pull the cork, brother, and let out the contents of your intellectual bottle and we will pass 1t on to others who are thirsty for news. You know a plenty, if you only know that you know it.
 There is no better way to become town builder than by sustaining the ef- forts of the weekly home paper to ad- vertise the town; for, after all, it is the paper that puts the town on the map.
 The threadbare comment of nothing in the paper,". may be due to the fact that the average reader hasn't helped to put anything thereto brighten its pages with what he really knows of the life and progress within the county linn it's. He is himself an editor and news gatherer, and doesn't realize it.
 It has been demonstrated time and again that with a we'll edited, news frightened local paper you can build a town in wilderness and make rail- road come to it.
 And then-mills. and factories, and packing houses, and all the certain signs of busy, progressive life!

Jame Addamns and
 Her War Activities

6NHIS country is at war with Ger
 N many, but that fact does not prevent certain "reformers" keeping themselves busy in trying to minimize military activity. Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, has done a great social reform work. For time she was closely associated with ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt, and the two were looked upon as the foremost reform CTS of the age. But when it came to war Colonel Roosevelt and Miss Ad- dams split. They will no longer walk arm-in-arm.
 Jane Addams is not uncompromis- ing in theory regarding war. A con- flict between nations under certain conditions may be justified from a Christian point of view. But, accord ing to her way of thinking, bloodshed

in abundance. An acre planted in po- tatoes, if we'll cultivated, will pay the farmer or trucker $50 or more; at that rate, even on large field, 100 acres in potatoes will net $5000.
 Some farmers must raise cotton, but all must raise something to eat, and a great deal of it if the country at large is to be sufficiently fed.
 At this planting time every farmer should turn his mind especially to two crops-corn and potatoes, Irish and sweet.

Civic Pride and
 Music Biemmial

THE largest musical event ever
 O staged for the south is about to be realized. The tenth biennial con- vention of the National Federation of Music Clubs will be held in Birming- ham from April 15 to 22, inclusive. It will bring to the south a great galaxy of concert artists-the great est ever assembled south of the Mason and Dixon line. Men and women of international reputation will be here and at least half dozen of the vir- tuosos have attracted crowded houses in London, Paris and Berlin.
 Owing to the limited seating ca pacity of the Jefferson theatre the local management decided that only season tickets would be sold. The price of the best seats is not high in view of the high class of the attrac- tions offered.
 The expense of the convention will be between $7ooo ana $SooO. What ever the amount it is fully guar anteed by members of the Chamber of Commerce. The question which now concerns the women of the Music Study club, responsible for the busi- ness as we'll as the artistic end of the convention, is that touching the sale of tickets. More than half the tickets have been sold, but in order for the convention to wind up without a deficit every season ticket must be sold
 Civic pride as well as love for music should play a part in this enterprise. By Saturday night not a ticket should remain unsold.

Financial Support
 For the Entente

ID LANS are rapidly taking shape 0 for America to give the entente governments the kind of help they need most at present. Money, muni- tions, foodstuffs and all other neces- sary supplies will be poured into Europe in order that the wavering fortunes of war may rest permanently with the allies.
 It may be long time before the American government is able to send troops abroad. Soldiers are not at present required. France and Eng land have. plenty of men to carry out the campaigns proposed for this spring and summer. However, the fi- nancial situation of the allies is not so encouraging England has borne the burden of the struggle and has extended liberal credits to other mem-
 
 bers of the entente, but even England is beginning to feel the strain. France and Russia must have more money. The flow of American dollars into Europe will enable England to regu- late her own financial affairs and make additional expenditures for war purposes.
 Few people realize what America has already done for the nations fight ing Germany The enormous sum of S2 ,0OO, 100000 has been loaned to the allies, which represents $20 for every person in the United States. This money came from the American peo- pie. The government now proposes to lend an additional $3,0OO,O0O, ,OO0 at 3 per cent interest. The allies pay now an average of per cent on their war loans. Thanks to the generosity of the United States, they will save $90, ,000, 900 year in interest. Selling munitions and supplies to the European belligerents at a fair profit was merely matter of busi- ness. This new loan is touched by sentiment and is an illustration of American liberality, which is pro- foundly appreciated abroad.

HOTEL LOBBHEs
Fails to Get Her Share

T was very much pleased with the edi- torial Ned Brace had in last Sundays Age-Herald," said Sol Caheen "The only thing I can say Is that MT. Barrett was little too mild.
 Tn recounting the things that Bir- mingham has tried for and failed to get during the democratic administration, 1t is interesting to note that few of these government institutions have been placed Tn the south. With a southern man for President, and with our representatives in Washington supposed to be among the most influential there, it does seem that Alabama should be able to land some thing. Since MT. Barrett's editorial definite announcement has been made that the armor plate plant would go to Charleston w. Va. Birmingham put up a great showing for this plant, but as in many cases gone by she failed to land it.
 ''It is also interesting to note in this connection that the biggest thing that has ever been done for Birmingham was done during the administration of Pres ident Roosevelt, and that was the au- thorization of the absorption by the United States Steel of the Tennessee company"

Helps Life Insurance Business

Last week was a banner week for the life insurance men, war announcements and the proposed conscription of men for the army and navy having made it seem ingly imperative for men to insure their lives. In discussing this, M. B. Leavell, state manager for the Massachusetts Mu- tual Life Insurance company, said:
 Our business last week reached a new high record in this state, and our office force was forced to keep late hours during the entire week, taking care of applications that were being rushed in. in order to get insurance for men who wanted protection in case they should have to join the colors, as well as the natural run of business that usually keeps us busy.
 ''I think like condition prevailed with a majority of the local offices, and 1t seems that when there is some cause for one to stop and think, life insurance protection for those dependent upon us is the natural thing for men to think about, and action usually follows"

Outlook Good for Real Estate

"The real estate business bids fair to take on renewed activities in the near future" said M. A. Hines, local real estate dealer, yesterday in discussing con- ditions governing that business.
 While sales are not what might be termed active now, we anticipate good business throughout the spring, and I believe that regardless of the war crisis that is on us, we will have a better busi- ness than for some years past, as indica- tions are pointing that way"
