Their argument is that MT Wauaee's record is such that if the Anti-Saloon league can center as much opposition to the amendment as possi- bie on Mr Wallace it will be an easy matter 10 ratify the amendment in the August urimaries

MADE CLEVER MOVE

According 10 the other candidates and their friends, the Anti-Saloon league nas made clever move. 1t has been openly charged that MT. Wallace comes nearer being the candidate of those opposed to any kind of prohibition than any other candidate and that if the opposition to the amendment, a considerable portion of it, can be placed behind Mr. Wallace the issue can be made on the following point: If you are against the amend ment you are for liquor"
 It is common knowledge in Alabama that majority of those who have ex- pressed themselves are opposed to the return Cf the saloons and if the fight could be made on the basis of ''liquor or the amendment the amendment cause would be given a great boost.

SHALL WE SEE IT
 THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government is finding it nee essary to call upon us three times within a year to provide by subscrip- tions to Liberty Loans, sums of money hitherto considered of fabulous pro- portions. These facts should i'm press upon us as no mere words could do. the intense seriousness, the stern necessities, of the situation.
 Continued acquaintance with the more serious aspects of life is apt to breed indifference, and to distort our mental vision. As the soldier shud- ders with horror at his first sight of carnage, but later becomes hard ened, so are we apt to become com placent under conditions which call actually for increasingly strenuous effort.
 The Liberty Loan with it's original accompaniments of novelty and noise appealed to our national love of new sensation. In the Third Cam paign much of the novelty will be 1"obir~ h"+ tho serious nurnose be- hind the campaign will have grown. Our money was needed when both the First and Second Liberty Loans were f1oated, but it will be more than ever needed when the Third Loan is called for. Our army has grown, our national payroll has grown, the needs of our allies have grown, the necessity of forever banishing the un- speakable menace of Prussianism has grown. No longer can we hope that the entrance of this country into the struggle will induce an early peace. More arrogant, Tpore desperate than even the German Government puts forward it's impossible claims upon the rights and life Of humanity.
 Our Government in its growing need is calling upon us to give up our luxuries, is conscripting the lives of our sons, is controlling trade, labor, and prices, with an ever increasing earnestness and firmness of pur- pose.
 The test of our personal strength of character and determination is at hand. Your Government pleads with fSOu very CAuSSLy IO pAOaSA anu practice both before and during the next Liberty Loan Campaign a stead fastness of purpose, an unselfish pa triotism, which shall reflect the spirit of a man who having set his hand to the execution of necessary task would rather lose that hand than draw it back. This is the spirit of our President, of our allies-it is surely our own.

THRIFT AND
 CONSERVE VATIO N

Last year at this time the great cry was conservation. This year it is thrift. Last year the nation was urged by the Government to conserve the natural resources and the products of the farms and fields and factories. Greater crops were urged, and canning clubs and city gardens were the orGer of the day. This year the. nation is being taught the lesson of spending its money wisely. The nation is being shown the importance of putting every cent where it will do the most good.
 Conservation and thrift go hand in hand. The fact that the farmer is being told this year to be thrifty does not mean he is not to plant every acre available and till his crops care fully and harvest them when they are ready for the reaper. It means that he must invest wisely the money he gets for the splendid crops he has demonstrated he is able to raise.
 The farmer, as a rule, can find some thing for which to spend almost every dollar he gets. There always is ma chinery to be bought or repaired. notes to be met, fertilizer to be pur- chased, harness, lubricating oil and groceries and clothing to be paid for in the neighboring town. But in the last few years most of the thrifty farmers have been so well paid for their produce that they are now Ion their feet" or more nearly so than ever before.
 This country has been good to them for they have lived in peace and have been provided by the Federal Loan Bureau with cheap money with which to pursue the arts of peace. Any economies they can practice at this time will give them additional money with which to lend financial aid to the Government in its great war for right eousness and fair dealing.
 Every dollar loaned to the Govern ment is e practical protest against tht plans of a greedy, interruptions, soul less power intent on world conquest and every dollar thus advanced serves to shorten the period of war and bring nearer the day of universal ana enduring peace.
