HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, November 3.-(Speclalo Mayor Henry B. Cease has issued an order regulating the sale of gasoline on Sunday. Tourists will be furnished with gasoline and oil on order from the chief of police, but filling stations and garages will remain closed except that one garage will be open each Sunday for emergency work. The garages will take the Sunday business turn about It Is believed that this arrangement will have a tendency to cut down Sunday joy riding and at the same time not inconvenience tourists who pass through here.

The Wild Morning Glory

By Mrs. P. A. Holley At dawn, far down the woodland by
 ways
 When skylark's song is heard, These modest little wildflowers
 Join in with happy word; And with lyric sound of laughter Fill all the tranquil glade. As the matin of the song bird
 Mounts upward to the sky, The breath of flower music
 Upon the wind goes by Unlike the peoples of Flanders field. That with crimson tongues aflame Point to lowly hero's grave,
 That marks a tyrant's shame You fill the humble by-paths
 With beauty that is song So may dark lives be frightened
 And faint hearts made strong Give me to know, wildflower,
 The Joy-song of thy creed Blot out the infinite shadows
 Of my heart in it's Infinite need

 VIM. Ellis. r. c. D., at the A. G. s. mes sure of praise. He not only gave his best effort to make the drive a success at the. shops. but had an extra desk put in his office and turned same over to me and my captains, still wanting to assist further we made him captain and he gave most valuable assistance in the writing of applications. His whole heart and soul was in the work
 To MT. Bum l am indebted for the best herder ever. John Frit, who went through every department of the shop and saw that every employe visited us at the office. Thanks, John, no one could have done better.
 Robert Lee (colored) furnished by Mir Ellis, made separate trip to every man in the car department with an invita- tion to see us in the office, and l must SAY that the invitation was always ac- cepted Robert did well and also has our thanks.
 TO Captains F.. l.. Eggler. l.. B. Lytle, F. J. Bailey, G. B. Fitzgerald, c. N. Znbe,. I extend my heartiest thanks for their efficient assistance.

 There are no party issues The war cannot be construed as an issue I,e- cause everybody has supported the war. The tariff is not causing political alignment. It is purely matter of psychology and It requires intimate touch to form judgment when psyckol- ogy is the eolusivc factor.

the worlds great war for international trade.
 Therefore it Is presumed that among other propositions which must be con sidered when peace arrangements are under way is one which If adopted will make it impossible for Germany CT Aus tria to import or manufacture any cot ton until these mills which the German army destroyed have been fully repaired or reconstructed.
 Then again 1t is certain that for at least five years after the termination of the war cotton fibre must be relied upon for making up the shortage in wool and flax. There will be various other ex- tensive uses for cotton fibre so that 1t is reasonable to expect that demand will be fairly well reflected in high market price for American cotton after inc war Is ended There is sure to be a heavy demand for American cotton goods and to some extent for American cotton in South American countries where an unexpected great development of the cot ton growing and manufacturing industry has occurred since the European war began.

WANTS EVERY DAY
 PREVENTION DAY
Head State Department of Insurance Calls on All
 Mayors to Assist
#%,sIA

Montgomerx November a-Special3 In aSlstter to the citizens of Alabama. addresse5Mto the mayor of each town, c. Brooks Smith. head of the department of insurance. asks that every day be made Fire rrevention day" Because Of the Liberty loan drive on october g. the department found 1t necessary to post pone the holding of exercises on fire pre- vention day. The date was fixed for November 9 but again 1t was postponed because of influenza in the state, The commissioner does not know when the exercises will be held, but suggests that inspections be made of factories, schools and other places, and necessary repairs made before the cold months,
 The letter, sent out by MT. Smith and w. P. Fonville, fire marshal. follows
 Since by joint resolution of the House and Senate. September 2S, 1915, designat- ing October as Fire Prevention day, the department has tried to impress upon the citizens of Alabama the efficacy of this date by having the day observed with appropriate exercises in the various schools and in the larger cities with an exhibition fire run.
 This date conflicting with the Liberty Loan drive this year, and in order that there might be no obseruction or inter ference to the work of such vital i'm portance, Secretary McAdoo requested of the state departments to postpone the date until November g.
 ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT
 lowing to the epidemic of influenza in Alabama, causing the schools and all public places to close, the department deems 1t advisable to postpone Fire Pre- vention day until some future time.
 Being cognizant of the importance or this day, and very optimistic as to the results that will be obtained from fire prevention education. we make an ap- peal to the people of the state that this should be 8 paramount occasion and fn- delibly stamp on the minds of the citt- zens at all times to try and make every day day of fire prevention.
 There are extraordinary reasons why we should be impressed with the impor- tance of reducing fire waste at this time, when the nations resources all are needed in the common task of winning the world war. It Is the national duty of every citizen to exert his best energies in helping to decrease the destruction or property by preventable fires thereby conserving our resources to the end Of ul- timate victory.
 May we solicit that all public build ings. factories. stores and homes should be cleaned of rubbish; all heating, light ing and fire extinguishing apparatus should he examined and, if necessary, repaired?
 If the press, municipal officials. civic organizations, business and profession al bodies, and individual citizens, VIII give their attention to this all-important matter, the results will be a saving oi millions of dollars worth of property and perhaps many lives. In the language of the President, the preventable fire is more than a private misfortune; It IS public dereliction.
