A RULE THAT WORKS BOTH
 WAYS.

If the newspaper owes a duty U the community-and i. does, isn't it also true that the community owes (, duty to the newspaper?
 We mention this because there are men in every community who expect, as they have right, ttat the news paper will battle for movements de- signed to benefit the community con. tTibuting literally of tie newspapers stock in trade-ability labor and srace-and yet are not over-generous in their support of the newspaper.
 In other words, the newspaper and other institutions, like the chamber of commerce, and some progressive private establishments are expected to bear the burden of upbuilding tho community, work from which all benefit, while not all contribute to the work or expense.
 It costs more to operate a cham Der of commerce, and it costs money to operate newspaper Neither can produce the results of which it is capable unless it has the co-operatio l and support of the people, and cer- tainly these institutions are entitled to the generous financial support of establishments and men whose busi- ness and profits increase from tho growth of the community.

sI,ook out for sples!"

An imperative order given the large
force of watchmen at the Government
Printing Office electrified the entire
building.
How did they know there was a
spy in the building? What did ne
look like?"
These and many other questions
were. asked by the employees. After
hours OF unrest, when work was
practically suspended, the questions
were answered.
1t all happened when Benjah d.
Dyas, inspector OF paper at the plant
attempted to perform his duties
Mr.. Dyas had been out of the build
ing attending to his work ana had
neglected to obtain pass to return.
When he sought admission 10 the
building again, Watchman James W.
Pike didn't recognize him and re-
fused to let him enter.
Mr.. Dyas asked the watchman to
telephone to the division where the
paper inspectors are employed.
Watchman Pike was willing, but
misunderstood what occupation Dyas
professed. Pike though. he was
book Inspector. and he had been told
to let no one in on such pretense.
Dyas heard the trend of the conversa-
tion. and had taken advantage of the
watchman's turned back and entered
the building.
Pike reported that the man assert
ing he was a book inspector" was
loose In the building. In a few mo-
ments the building was being
searched as it never had been
searched before.
Then the denoement came. Pike
saw Dyas. '"Tis he. tits he" he is
alleged to have proclaimed, and flung
himself on the neck of Dyas.
Considerable explaining was neces-
sary to dispose of tho rumor that
spies were seeking to blow up Uncle

Poll of Senate Shows
 Press Censorship Clause
 Will Be Easily Defeated

Washington, May 2s Special 1-The ir dication as a result of a poll this aftel noon is that the administration pre- gag section of the espionage bill Is de tined to encounter defeat in the Sena /
 The poll indicated that irrespective of all pairs, the vote will be fl to 21. Ad- ministration pressure may cut down the margin, but it is believed by opposing senators that the gag section is doomed.
 Despite the modification authorized by the administration, an apparent majority of the senators hold that fundamentally the idea of gagging the press is wrong, absorrent, un-American and unconstitu- tional.
 Senators Bankhead and Underwood will oppose the gag section in the upper house. It is indicated that since the administra- ton has guaranteed a trial by jury for all newspaper offenders, majority of the Alabama House delegation will support the section.
 In it's original form, however. with jury trial excluded. only three Alabamians in the House gave it support. They were Representatives Hefiin, Oliver and Bank head.

The commission is composed or the ministers of finance trade and in- dustry and agriculture but as there is a Wide divergence of views between the minister of finance and the new social istlc minister of labor, it seems probable that this commission will be confronted with the same difficulties that attended previous efforts at reconciliation.
 An investigation of the factory condi- sf.,nS in Petrograd leads to the alarming but inevitable conclusion that unless the government soon finds a means of adjust ing the present difficulties most of the industrial enterprises working for na- tional defense will be compelled to close within a few months.

John Wood died yesterday afternoon, as did Mrs. Annie Mae Caldwell whose husband and infant child were killed instantly. Monday night II. Jolly and Mrs. Moore are at deaths door at the Rirming- ham infirmary and two children, whose names could not be learned. are reported dying at St. vincent's hos pital The list of injured totals more than 35 people.
 The camp presented an even more desolate appearance by daylight than during theIaours of darkness, the light revealing e magnitude of the dis- aster, the tAtire town which lay Tn the path of the cyclone being com- nletely demolished including the bus mess property of the Soss com pany, the general offices, the commits sary and the doctors quarters A con seryative estimate of the extent Of the loss is placed at $75,000. The path of .the cyclone seemed to be about loo yards wide and is covered with trunks household furnishings of all kinds, torn branches of trees and lumber stripped from the buildings All wires were down and pmunication wi'h the outside world eat off for some time The work of relief was or- ganized by Dr. E.

"and of course all married men between the ages of 21 and 90. inclusive must register whether or not they propose to claim exemption.
 "The act establishing the select i've draft authorizes the President to exclude or discharge from the draft those in status with re- spect to persons dependent upon them for support which renders their exclusion or discharge advis- able The census estimate shows that almost half the men available for draft are married and any sweeping exclusion of married men would therefore be fnadvisable.'

people were killed at Sayre than repotred, as the town was practically demolished At Village Springs, while there was only one killed, a negro infant, the town is practically pile of debris, almost every thing in the form of structure of any kind having been razed and strewn all over that section. Only one store and three houses stand in the village today, and it is understood that the old settlers, having lost everything that they pos sessed, are in destitute circumstances.
 Birmingham was called upon for ann balances, surgeons and rescue workers, and the response was prompt special train going to Bradford, and many auto mobiles to Sayre. Carbon Hill received aid from Jasper, as did Village Springs from Oneonta.
 Possibly the greatest property loss in Jefferson county was at Sayre, though the greatest death toll occurred at Brad ford.
