RULES AGAINST FOOD PR0F|TEER|NG
 ID BE ENFORCED
Food Administrator Cites Cases of Severe Penalties Imposed on Merchants
 for Excess Profits

Food administration rules against profiteering are still in force and will be strictly adhered to, according to in formation received by the local food ad- ministrator from headquarters as fol- lows:
 The federal food administrator for Alabama today announced that it would
 be well for all merchants to remember that the food administration rules Iagainst profiteering are still being rig idly enforced and will be until the food administration ceases to legally exist. There is small chance of this taking place for several months, as the food Administration law remains in force un- til peace is legally declared by the President.
 Inspectors are engaged in all the states checking up firms that are un- der license and in Arkansas a num- Der of penalties have been recently en- forced It has been announced from the enforcement division at Washington lthat representatives from three Little Rock, Ark. firms, penalized for viola ltions of food administration regula- ltions, appeared in Washington for the purpose of making appeals. After pre- lliminary hearing they withdrew their requests for appeal hearings and vol untarily accepted reduced periods for closing their establishments.
 These concerns were the Scott Mayer Commission company, convicted for ex- Iceeding specified margins in the sale of canned corn and on the sales of other Licensed commodities. the original pen- alty imposed consisting of closing their lplace of business for IS days, begin hing January 26; the George E. Shelton Produce company, which firm admitted Iexceeding maximum margins on non- perishables in violation of the food ad- Iministration rules and were asked to close for 15 days, and Cooper Dick inson, who plead guilty to violations in exceeding maximum margins on non perishables and who was given a pen alty of five days closing of his busi- ness.
 The three firms in their requests for Iapbeal hearings protested that the pen alties were too severe. Their repre- sentatives voluntarily accepted reduc- tfons in the length of the periods rath- CT than have their appeals passed upon. The Scott Mayer and the Shelton com |panies agreed to close from Christmas |to January ? and Dickinson for two
 days, December 26 and 27.

 Co-Operation

The doors of Birmingham, in Birming- hams own characteristic way. have literally been thrown wide open to the Baptist state convention which meets early in January in the First Baptist church. Nothing could be more signifi- cant of Birmingham's way of doing things than the expressions of number of public spirited citizens regarding the coming convention.
 Birmingham takes great pleasure in extending a generous invitation to the Baptist convention said Dr. Barrett, president of the city commission. re- gently.
 pr. J. M Broadly, representing the Presbyterian Pastors union of Birming- ham, said that he considered 1t rather a privilege to say in behalf of his de- nomination that 1t was a happy event, and that it afforded him a great deal of pleasure to welcome the Baptists of the state in their annual convention to Bir- mingham.
 The head of the. Birmingham Civic as- sociation. Jurge William E. Fort. ex- pressed himself recently in conversation over the approaching Baptist conven- tion, as greatly pleased that the Baptists had chosen Birmingham as their con- vention city at this time, saying. that as the grandson of Baptist minister. and the product of Baptist surroundings and associations. he was doubly glad to hear of the expected convention. and had much interest in the Baptist de- nomination. He further stated that, rep resentins as he did. a the president of the Civic association of the city. some 20O0 of Birmingham's most wide-awake and progressive citizens. 1t gave him great pleasure to bid the Baptist conven- ton Q hearty welcome on behalf of the association and extend the visitors to tho convention a cordial invitation to visit at their will the Civic association shead- quarters and feel at home.
 Tt goes without saying" said Fred Shireman, manager of the Tutwiler hotel, that the hotels of Birmingham are ever ready to greet the Baptist hosts. We will leave no stone unturned to make their coming a notable event as well as a pleasant and pleasurable visit. We will see that the Baptists are we'll en- tertained." MT. Shireman thinks hat Birmingham in no distant day. will outrank any southern city in im- portancA as meeting place for conventions and representative bodies. as well as in the several other impOr- tant lines of which she boasts at present.
 Speaking In behalf of the Methodist pastors conference. pr. P. B. Wells said in part: We rejoice at the coming ot the Baptist convention which is soon to be our guests. We have noted with great pleasure the positive stand of the southern Baptists on all questions of public importance and of spiritual well fare of tn people. and pray that the com vention may be guided In it's delibera- tions to larger usefulness and influ- ence."
