THE PARSON STOOD PAT
nr CHARLES II. MANp,

One of the most popular and lovable of the ministers of the Birmingham district is the Rev. John Milner, pastor of the Wylam Presbyterian church. He is of a quiet and unasuming nature and goes about his Masters work from day to day without ostentation or display. He is a mans man, every inch of him, and in his college days he was a great baseball pitcher and still loves the game He IS in the ministry for two reasons-first he loves his Maker with heart and soul, and, second. he loves his fellow man. There may be other reasoins, but these seem sufficient
 When not attending his immediate flock, he visits the shops and industries of the district holding short services at the noon hour. and in his earnest manner tells the beautiful story of the Savior s love and sacrifice.
 Like many ministers, Parson John has a keen sense of humor. an inheritance of his sturdy Scotch ancestry-and dearly loves a joke, even if it is on himself Knowing this characteristic one of his most sincere admirers relates the follow ing incident.
 On one occasion he announced special noon-day service at one of the industrial plants he had be in the habit of visiting and some of his workmen friends inn

No Advance in Prices, But Manage ment Will Act as
 Agent

Beginning November 1, the war rev.
 enue tax will go into effece at Loew's Bijou. The management wishes to em-
 phasize the fact that there is abso- lutely no advance in the Bijou prices and only the exact amount of the tax required by the government will be collected. In speaking of the matter Manager Hugh Cardoza said: There has been no advance of prices at any of the Loew theatres and there will be none here. We simply act as agents of the government and collect for 1t nothing but the actual amount pro- vided by the provisions of the war rev enue bill. We are given no choice in the matter of collecting this tax for the law makes it imperative, but we can regulate our prices and don't pro- pose to charge the patrons of our theatres any more than the law re- quires, which is 1 cent for Decent ticket, cents for 15-cent ticket 3 cents for a 25-cent ticket and cents for a 35 cent ticket; 1 cent for every child's ticket whether 10 cents or 35.'

provised a number of seats from stray blanks and old boxes and secured me dium- sized packing case from nearby hotel for the preacher to stand upon.
 On account of the special occasion, sev- eral members of his choir accompanied Parson John to assist in the service, and mounting the box, he said: Brethren, we will open the service with that soul stirring hymn, The Churchs one Foun- dation' led by the choir" Almost simul- taneously with the announcement 2 smile, broad and expansive, spread over the begrimed countenances of his congre- gation.
 Now, there is nothing so disconcerting to public speaker or preacher than for his audience to laugh or smile at a time when seriousness would be more in keep ing and Parson John was at loss to account for the levity but realizing that it had to do with his announcement of the hymn, he said: "I am aware, breth- ren. that the hymn I announced is little unfamiliar. but selected it because 1t IS appropriate to the remarks that l will make later so I stand pat on it
 The roar of laughter that followed com pletely knocked Parson John off his perch, so to speak, and he stepped down. His gaze followed that of his audience until it rested on the box on which he had been standing. on the front of which. in letters easily discernable half block, was this inscription, Johnny Walker Whisky. Born 1920. Still going good"
 Then Parson Johns laughter rang out the loudest.

good as Musgrove's. Kilby, as a busi- ness man, is rated as high as Mus grove. Kilby has no bitter political en- emies. Musgrove. as sponsor Tor Captain Hobson, conducted exceedingly bitter campaigns against the ablest and most successful politicians in recent Alabama history: and thus made political enemies and unloading wounds.
 The first effect of Mir Musgrove's en- trance would be to divide the Sixth and Tenth districts with Brandon-territory which Brandon, unmolested, would in all probability sweep. Tn those districts Hobson has many friends, and these would rush to Musgrove as against Brandon who invariably opposed the am bitions stretches of Musgrove's protege. There is the first analysis. It IS prob-
 ematical as to whether, in the second analysis Musgrove or Brandon would be practically eliminated as Kilby con- testant.
 THE T. A. ANGLE
 The indications are, however, that while prohibition is to be a big fac- tor in the state campaign, True Amerl- canism'' is to be the sine qua non. The three announced candidates are observed from three distinct viewpoints. MT. Kill by has struck at Romansm as it is al legged to have asserted itself in public schools and in army circles, and has warned against the danger from Rome 7 The T. A. society, which is extending It. self in every corner of the state, IS pleased with his position, and will, It IS believed, indorse his candidacy.
 Mr Wallace has announced himself as bitterly opposed to mingling religion and politics MT. Brandon has not discussed the subject-as he has not discussed pro hibition-but it is indicated that he Will receive the support of those attempting to check the anti-Catholic movement.
 At any rate, state politics is warming

Markets for American Goods

W. F. Aughinbaugh. in Leslies
 The nations of the earth may be di
 vided for this purpose into two great classes-those which produce raw materials. such as ores. wheat, cotton. wool and cattle, and those which elab- crate these products into the finished articles of commerce. such as machin-
 cry, foods. textiles and fabrics And
 the peoples of the world--the pro- ducers and consumers-nay likewise
 be divided into two great classes
 those requiring primal necessities, such as rice. flour, meat, tools and simple rament and those demanding the luXuries. such as delicacies silks, pianos and automobiles.
 Latin America is the largest pro- ducer of raw materials Her mines are the richest known to man. Her broad fields are destined to be the granaries of the world. Her vast acreage means that she can e@depended upon to sup ply meat. meat products and wool. Her virgin forests are capable of giving humanity hard and cabinet woods fol centuries. From the Rio Grande rivel to the Straits of Magellan. barring the slaughter houses of the River Platte region and a few large cigar factories and sugar refineries in Cuba, there are no manufactories engaged in in ternational trade A few plants for making matches, soap, crackers and biscuit. as well as breweries, are tc be found here and there. but theil products are for local consumption. ,, The great percentage of inhabitants are Indians, negroes and mixed bloods whose wants are few and whose de sires are but for the. simple neces sities.
 It must be apparent that the chief requirements of all this section of the world will be necessities for the | masses, such as cotton goods. textiles cheap shoes. hardware. tools, agricul tural implements. medicines, flour rice, oil lard, timed foods. small no tions and cheap Jewelry, with a rela lively moderate amount of high-grade articles such as laces. lingerie, toilet articles furniture, expensive clothes textiles and comestibles. As cities grow and the states progress i'm provements will increase. requiring such modern things as electric lights sewerage systems telephones. aque ducts. railways and telegraphs. Many smelting plants will be installed in

MARTINS PLATFORM
 SUBJECT OF GOSSIP
Some Apparent Reasons Why Mus grove or Martin Will Not Be Serious Factors in Lay
 ing Plans
By HUGH ". eonERTs

Although l.. E. Musgrove of Jasper is not as yet 8 candidate for gover- nor, and although the people gener- ally do not believe that he will ever be a candidate, Phil Painter of Bir- mingham will "bet yer thousand'' that hiA man enters the lists,
 The contention of MT Painter, who announced Mir. Musgrove several months ago. and the rumor from Mont gomery that W L. Martin, attorney general, regards himself as worthy to restore the children of Israel to their heritage. were bits of gossip over which politicians smiled yesterday
 As serious problems worthy of con sideration, the voters discussed the availability of John H. Wallace, Jr., W. W. Brandon and Thomas F. Kilby, who are and will be candidates. Mr. kilby was visitor to the city.
 ABOUT MIR. MARTIN
 The Montgomery dispatch to The Age Herald regarding MT. Martin proved an interesting subject of gos- sip That he had been considering the proposition of offering himself to the people as tnelr torch bearer was gen erally well known His frequent tilts with Governor Henderson have been regarded as significant of some thing resting heavily on his chest How ever, it was not generally believed by those who discussed the topic that he would actually become a candidate It was thought more probable that he would offer himself to his country which is in need of the services of those it educated at West Point
 MT. Martins political career has been short but meteoric. Prior to his announcement and successful race for the office of attorney general he was best known as the brother of Thomas ". Martin, vice president of the Ala bama Power company. Immediately after his election, however, he took the cue of the hand picked" legisia- ture and became possessed of the idea that the violator of the prohibition law alone was beyond the pale. His clashes with the governor followed the governors refusal to pay expenses incurred through the prosecution of his extraordinary duties.

THE AMBITIOUS "DRYs"

According to the Montgomery dis patch, MT. Martin would not offer as q prchibitionist but as one who would enforce the prohibition laws even bet ter than prohibitionists claim they are now enforced
 The discussion regarding Mr. Martin brings to light the fact that various pro- h1bitionists, believing that the time has come when their party can elect pro- hlbltlon governor, are convinced that they have been especially "cut out for this honor. MT. kilby, who announced himself 8 candidate many months ago. IS prohibitionist with the support of the majority of those who constitute the pro- h1bition organization. MT. Brandon, if not prohibitionist, is a candidate who will not state himself local optionist MT. Musgrove is a prohibitonist even tD the nth. degree-even to the point of sponsoring the corpuscle'' theory And MT. Martin, who knocks timidly at the eleventh hour, is a dry
 MT. Wallace, who is an anti-prohibition- ist. is entirely satisfied with the stua- ton. With the strength of his opposition divided. he feels certain that vic ory will perch on his banner.
