Joe Earman of the Palm Beach
Post has an article on Banks" He
thinks that they ought to be divorced
from politics. He argues that they are
too potential. Their tentacles go out
in so many directions and when a
bank has strings on an individual or
corporation, it is like a bride on a
horse-he can be led or driven in most
any direction. Who has not seen evil
dences of it?-Banner.
We saw evidences of it in Ocala
twenty-five years ago, when the city's

political as well as financial control
of the town and county and keeping
both in a snarl for years. wound W

One of the big events that the home
guarder is looking forward to is the
first time he fires his Springfield rife.
There seems to be decided element
of uncertainty as to what will happen
when the trigger is pulled There's
an impression that it's about fifty
fifty whether man be in front or be-

about the same recoil as a 12-bore

it properly it won't kick him at all.

Jury Returns Verdict in 20 Minutes Following Judge
 Grubb's Charge
DEFENDANT TAKES
 STAND AS WITNESS
ChumIey Claimed He Thought His Service as Registrar Relieved Him From Registering-Wife
 Goes on Stand

Harry H. Chumley was con-
 victed of willfully failing to reg
 ister on June , yesterday about
 noon in the United States court
 before Judge w. l. Grubb, and
 was sentenced to four months in
 jail. The jury returned the ver-
 dict within 20 minutes after re-
 ceiving the charge. It is stated
 that an appeal will be taken.
 The defendants principal ground of defense on his failure to register was that he thought he was exempt, as he served as a registrar. He stated he lived two and one-half miles from where he was serving and it would have taken him at least two and one-half hours to go to the precinct where he was sup posed to register.
 He flatly denied trying to avoid the selective service draft act, as he did

 When District Attorney Robert N. Bell ross-questioned the defendant he asked him if he didn't know how oid he was on June 5. MT. Chumley an swered he did When asked where he set the impression that he would not have to register and if anyone told him that, or if he read it in any pa per or book, the defendant stated that he had not. The defendant testified that he didn't say a word to anyone about not registering before October Q.
 J. Reese Murray, special agent of the department of justice. was again called to the stand and he denied say fnEf anything to Mir. Chumley about there being a general impression that men serving as registrars did not nave to register. MT. Jones' government officer. stated he was present and he did not hear Mir Murray make any such statement.
 Mrs Chumley, wife of the defend- ant, who was in court with her little daughter. was placed on the stand and sh- testified she had never heard the defendant say a word against the se- lective service act.
 Among the witnesses introduced by the government who testified as to TO- marks made by Chumley regarding the selective service act were John Ii. Nixon, salesman for Roberts & Son; Js.mes G. Smith, Seth Woods Tom An derson and W. c. Strickland, B. 4. Pepperman, secretary of the local ex- eInption board, testified that Chumley was duly registered on october 22, 1917.
 CHARACTER ADMITTED
 c. P. Beddow, of the firm of Bed dow & Oberdorfer, who represented the defense, introduced number of character witnesses to prove that the defendants character was good and he had a splendid reputation, but to save time District Attorney Bell state1 they would admit that the defend ant was of good character prior to June 5. 1917.
 The case was prosecuted by District Attorney Robert N. Bell and Ralph Quinn. his assistant.
 Judge Grubb limited the arguments on each side to 30 minutes and while they lasted more than an hour they were feature1ess and the jury brought in the verdict within 20 minutes after receiving the case.

 If you think everybody nearly has thief streak in them nearly every body but yourself.
 Piggly Wiggly is not afraid of a mans honesty because his pants don't happen to be creased or because his collar is not of the latest style, or be- cause he actually works for living.
 Piggly Wiggly is not afraid of a woman's honesty because she has through her struggles in rearing a fam fly lost that comeliness of her youthful beauty.
 No, Piggly Wiggly is not in the least afraid of trusting to the honor of the plain people. Rather would Piggly Wiggly be doubtful of the sleek-look- ing individual whose costume and manners indicated contempt for the so-ca1led middle class.

 Piggly Wiggly came to Birmingham to put IN business the housewives of Birmingham. Piggly Wiggly is no body's store except the people them selves. It is absolutely in every sense store for the personal use of every body in Birmingham who would like to have store of their very own.

 You can take just as long time as you desire in looking at anything or everything displayed. You can be in hurry if that suits you best. You won't be bothered with an ignorant or too smart clerk trying to tell you what you ought to do. There are no clerks in a Piggly Wiggly store is the reason.s
