Washington, Aug. although there
were indications that the Senate does

LANE BACK FROM
 THE GROCERS' AND
 BUTCHERS MEETING
Says Convention Had Many Knotty' Problems to Solve in View of the
 Constantly Rising Prices

c. Lane, former president of the local Retail Grocers and Butchers association returned yesterday morning from a trip to Toledo, O., where he attended the na- tional convention of the Retail Grocers from the Birmingham association, and he states that they had the greatest meet ing that has ever been held. The next convention will meet in Washington, At lanta having been defeated by four votes.
 MT. Lane placed Birmingham in nomi- nation for 1918 convention, but after he saw the race was between Atlanta and Washington he withdrew and seconded the nomination of Atlanta.
 We had great time, and the best convention l ever attended,, said MT. Lane. There were over 5000 delegates, and the time was well spent, in view of the high cost of everything in the grocers and butchers line, for we had many knotty problems to solve. It was time for hard work and study of conditions that we are daily confronted with, and we tried to utilize every moment to the best advantage
 There was one thing that we fought hard for, and which I believe we are go- ing to get, and that was an organizer for the south, field secretary, who will go from town to town and organize the grocers and butchers, for the good of the trade and the merchants. We need better organization-team work that will enable us to cooperate in the south, as it is done in the north and east.
 "One thing that impressed me more than anything else, outside of the de- tailed work of the convention, was the patriotism of the people in the north. We had band that played all of the national airs and anthems, and I was wondering if they would hit "Dixie," and just as I thought they would not, they waded into it, and before I knew it I was on my feet with my hat in my hand, and yelling worse than wild Indian. The whole convention broke loose and don't think I have ever witnessed such a demonstration in my life as that which followed"

FRANKLIN COUNTY DOING FINE WORK
 WITH FOOD CROPS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 A report. submitted to the Commer- cial club by Rev. J w. Partridge, chairman of the council of defense for Franklin county, contains some very encouraging figures. As result of our greater food campaign this report shows for velvet beans 407 bushels sown this year as compared with Is bushels for last year. soy beans, 395 bushels and only 20 bushels for last year; and for peanuts more than 8 thousand as compared to two bushels for 1916. This report is not complete as to bushels nor as to localities, as many farmers have ordered their seed direct without reference to the mer- chant, and two of our best communi- ties have made no report at this time.
 From the best and most reliable in- formation I can get our cotton crop is cut at least 50 per cent, possibly 60 would be nearer correct, and all that acreage Is going to food crops or forage. The frost has killed a lot of young cotton and nearly all of the replanting has been done to corn.
 There will be large acreage of sorghum for both hay and sirup; also peas for hay, while the Irish and sweet potato have never been so extensively planted in this county as this year.
 This work has been done by local men, too. No visiting expounder of the greater food crop gospel has been heard in our county. Your association for this preaching appointed commit tee to visit this place but they must have been lost by the wayside, as they did not reach here. MT. Charles De- Bardeleben promised us visit from that mighty minister of more food. Mrs. Mathis. but that. too. seems to have fallen through. We'll, we will have to see if we cannot feed our selves by ourselves. though we cer- tainly would like to have the advant- age of outside counsel in our struggle. especially along the line O. ,organi- zation for better markets and eco homie canning for the care and pre- servation of that which we produce.

 The Queenstown harbor entrance was strewn by submarines with mines intend- ed for the American ships was considered by officials as proof that the German information concerning the departure and destination of the boats was accurate. The seriousness of the disclosure was not greatly ameliorated by the fact that the German plan was discovered in time and the destroyers saved.

 Discussing this phase of the situation yesterday Captain Underwood said:
 'Nearly every man of draft age is now giving serious attention to the question of whether he should await the draft, or try to put himself in position condu- cive to advancement by enlisting now in some branch of the service.
 "The training camps for officers are filled, and for the present that avenue IS closed. but there are opportunities open for men to receive training now for commissions or noncommissioned officers warrants which they may have an op- pcrtunity to obtain later.
