 The "Wednesday Study club. an or- ganixation composed of Anniston's most prominent girls. gave twilight concert at the camp on Monday even ing. Miss Jean Williams of Chautaudua reader gave several numbers.

Just think of what a task to have 12 times reshaped this same space to display the exhibits in new form each year This exhibit, you know. is the work of Alabama women made during the past year, beginning October Is, 1916, and consequently the designs are in keeping with new styles and fads.
 hear that the canned and pre- served stuffs will be so plentiful and Mrs. Reid says in judging these goods there will be no waste to the exhib- itor but extreme care will be observed to protect the foodstuff and that they will not be subject to danger of loss.
 She also said all exhibits in this department must be delivered to the fairgrounds by Thursday, October 4. Cakes and breads will be received at noon the same day and delivered to the owners at once-just another evil dence, my dear, of respecting Mr. Hoovers wishes in economy.
 
 Becky, one of the girls told me a that few maids. not old maids, either, were going to remain at home this winter more than ever and that now that society has "slumped" and events of interest occur hardly enough to monopolize the time of the younger and college set. Nevertheless, they plan to be busy and their pursuits cover a wide range, Out of approxi- mately 50 girls staying home this win ter half of this number are devoting their time to relief work and the oth- CT l suppose. will put in their time studying, from all can hear.

 It is with. genuine pleasure and self congratulation that the Birmingham center of the Drama league announces for it's opening meeting on october g Ia lecture by pr. Leon IT. Vincent, who is author of number of books and a frequent contributor to the magazines and periodicals. As writer he combines fineness of style with great delicacy of perception, and as speaker he is said to be witty, brilliant and natural, presenting his subject with grace and charm. The subject of his lecture will be ''Victor Hugo and the Romantic Movement" a particularly fortunate choice at this time, as everyone is feel ing such 3 deep interest in the gallant French nation. It Is felt that league members and many others who will doubtless become members will welcome this opportunity to renew their ac- quaintance with the great French Ro- manticis through Dr. Vincents illumi- mating and delightful presentation of him.
 The following from the Selma Times will be read with much interest by the members of the Birmingham Equal Suf- frage association: At a recent meet ing of the local suffrage association it was decided to devote some time to study at all future meetings and splendid programme has been arranged. and carried out at the regular meet ing. This association also voted to rem der assistance to the Birmingham or ganization with its big bazar to be held in october, and which promises to be a prominent event in suffrage circles of the Magic City Fancy work ar ticles will be contributed by members of this club to the bazaar and a contri- button also will be sent from the as sociation as body.

PAPERS OF BERLIN
SCORE WILSON NOTE
German Press Derides Idea of
Teuton Democracy; Say
President Gives Them
No Choice.

Amsterdam, Sept. l.-President
Wilson's reference, in his reply to
Pope Benedict's peace proposals, to
the German autocracy as distinct from
the German people are commented
upon unfavorably by the German
press. The Tageblatt of Berlin says:
president Wilson speaks of de-
mocratization of Germany, which we
also desire, but it is an internal ques-
ton and one we consider forbidden
territory for foreigners, as a condition
of peace"
The Lokal Anzeiger says:
"The whole fallacy of President
Wilson's argument is clear from the
sentence l.. regard to the freedom Of
nations which are themselves to decide
their own fate. President Wilson will
not give us freedom to decide for our
selves, but would take it from US"

CALL FIRSTQUOTA
IN OMAHA DISTRICTS
Appeal Boards Certify Men to
Make Up First Five Per
Cent to Be Sent to
Fort Riley.

The first Omaha men have been
called to the colors. Saturday morn
ing the district appeal board certified
sixty-seven men from the First local
district comprising the Fifth and
Twelfth wards and sKty-two men
from the outlying districts of Douglas
county for service at Fort Riley.
No appeals have been taken up in
the Omaha districts, the men certified
having been satisfied with the de-
cision of their local board and filed
no afidavits with the district board.
The men realize that they have to
be of service to the country and are
now appearing before the boards ask
ing to be sent in the first FIVE per
cent quota Enough men have made
this request in the Fourth district to
fill the quota and if it is possible to
use them Chairman Brady says they
will be allowed to go.
First to Be Non.Coms.
By going with the first detachment
the men are liable to be given nom
commissioned Offices. 1t is thought
that this is the idea of asking for men
with experience. These men will be
given Offices, and when the troops ar
rive they will be in line to care for
them.
Many cooks are filing their applica-
ton for the first quota. These men
will have everything in order for the
cooking and when the second quota
arrives will have meals in waiting
for them.
A grand sendoff for the contingent
leaving Omaha is being planned for
Thursday. The chairmen OF the local
boards will have charge of the plans
for their own men and will see that
they are present to take in the fes-
tivities. The plans are not perfected
yet, but committee met in the Com
mercial club rooms today to arrange
them.
The men will probably meet on the
court house grounds and will go from
there to the waiting trains.
Ernest W.. Palm is among the men
that will be sent from the first DIS
trict on September 5. Palm was re-
jected when he appeared for his
physical examination. He immediate
1y went to local hospital and an
operation was performed that put him
in frst-class condition.
He appeared before the local board
again and was re-examined. This
time he passed.
Il would like to go with the first
men," he told Chairman Ure.
The quota had already been picked;-
but a place was made and Palm will
leave for camp with the first men.

Western PacifistS
Will Meet Anyway,
Delegates Declare

Regardless of where others may go,
the western delegates OF the Peoples
Council of America for Peace and
Democracy are going to try and hold
their convention in Minneapolis next
week. If the police permit, the con-
vention will convene Monday morn
ing, otherwise it may be later.
Twenty-one of the Peoples Coun-
ell of America delegates came in from
the west, and on a couple of special
cars left for Minneapolis over the
Great Western. Those in the party
were from Colorado, California. Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and
Utah. They refused to discuss their
plans, merely saying they were for
peace. Half a dozen cities have
barred their convention, but they
hope to be able to get together in
Minneapolis.
The westerners asserted that they
have not heard from the eastern dele
gates, but are of the opinion that they
will be in Minneapolis next Monday.
