 Major Tom Akers, chief instructor, Is making drive to reach 100 members enrolled before the end of the week and regards the prospects as fine for touching the century mark. 1nasmuch as the class idea is encouraged by the war department and the exemption boards, it is believed it will meet re- sponse from many more than 1o0 es- pecially since the age limits for draft are practically certain of being extend ed both up and down. All those who will have to register September B. next, are invited to enroll.
 Major Akers is the commandant of the Birmingham High school cadet corps, and on account of his experi- ence, especially with handling the younger men. his offer of services was readily accepted by the Civic associa- ton and the local exemption board.

The initial community sing at East Lake park last Sunday afternoon was such success that Manager Hugh Hill has decided to continue these sings throughout the summer season. One is scheduled for this afternoon at the city's municipal pleasure resort and Manager Hill stated Saturday after moon that he was especially desirous llof having the citizens and their fami- lies from the East Lake, Woodlawn, Avondale and Inglenook sections of the lefty attend.

dents message by mere reference to the Western Union, resorted to the sub- terfuge of the politician. He played for time, and in playing, sought, through delay, to inspire his followers with doubt.
 He asked the President if his message was genuine. He declared that if the message was genuine, the President had cruelty offended against him, that he had supported the administration in all matters save probably four.
 Save four
 MT. Huddleston, in knowledge that the
 country wag at war, refused to support
 the sole remaining means of raising an army to defend that war. He opposed the espionage bill, having for it's purpose the checking of insidious German propA- ganda in the United States. He opposed
 the explosives bill having for it's object the protection of vital industries against the German bomb thrower. He opposed
 vital sections of the sabotage bill having for it's object the checking of industrial destruction advocated by the I. w. W. and other similar organizations. He defined the volunteer, the man or the regular army, and the system of cons scription. He stood with Meyer London New York socialist, against the President when the President desired to send troops to the Mexican border He delivered a speech against the plan of the United States to raise part of the war fund by seeking Liberty loans. He broke with the democratic organization when t sought to establish it's own and defea. the republican rules of procedure in the House He delivered addresses calcu- lated to array labor against capital in the time the United States needed the hearty cooperation of it's every citizen. 1 He declared that the poor man owed l scarcely anything to his country. He 1 spoke of liberty as something apart from I the requisites of a full life.
 l These are some of the charges which
 his opponents brought against him. | In answer he charged that his opro- nents were fools and liars The Presi-
 dents charge is more full, more intense, l more unequivocal. The President charged
 that Mir Huddleston's record proves him l in every way an opponent of the admin | istration.
 1 Mir. Huddleston asked the President II his message was genuine. At the same 1 time another telegram was dispatched l to the President. It was message of
 thanks from the Patriotic league of Jef-

 maligned by MT. Huddleston. That mes l sage fonows: IN | Birmingham, Ala, August TO- 1918.

CONSUMERS STOCK
 GOAL FOR WINTER
Permits Issued by Fuel Ad- ministrator Indicate Much
 Preparation for Winter

Consumers of domestic coal continue to stock up for the winter, and at the rate they have been laying 1t in during the last three months their winters sup ply will be in their cellars long before the chilling blasts of winter come.
 According to reports made to the Jeff ferson county fuel administration and compiled by Secretary J. H. Duncan. re- tail dealers delivered to their customers during the month of July little over 160c0 tons, wagon mines delivered sev eral hundred tons, manufacturers deliv. cred to their employees about 300 tons, and the fuel administration issued permits for over 4O0o tons in car load lots, mak- ing total of approximately 21,0o0 tons for the north.
 In May and June the deliveries were over 1s,000 tons each month, bringing the total tonnage taken by domestic con sumers Curing the three months vel above 5000 tons.
 Reports from the mines during the past week indicate small decrease in pro | duction compared with the previou! | week, due, it is said, to the lack of cars l in which to move the coal. Spurred or
 by the recent speed-up propaganda worf among the miners, the coal production was fast approaching capacity and has l it not been for the inability of the rail roads to furnish sufficient cars in whicf
 to move it, the month of August woul' | in all probability have broken all record | in production.

 The first rear ad- airals in the United States navy were commissioned in 1862
 when that rank was created by act of
 Congress. David Farragut, for his valor in the Civil war, was made vice admiral
 in 1864, and two years later the rank or admiral in the United States navy was established for the purpose of honoring him. The grade of admiral was revived in 1899 and conferred upon George Dewey, the hero of Manila. The high est rank of American naval officers in active service was, up to short time ago, that of real admiral. The title of admiral was first used in France. and the first French admiral was appointe'i in 12s4. A few years later the title was adopted by the English, and the rank of admiral of the English seas was hrst given to William De Leybourne by Ed
 ward I in 1207.

AUTUMN LEAVES USEFUL.
Experts Tell How to Make First Glass
Fertilizer

With vivid recollection of the
usually high prices paid for fertiliz-
ers during the past spring, and in view
of the probability that much higher
prices will prevail during the season of
1919, it would seem that any legitimate
means of reducing the fertilizer bill
for home gardens for the coming season
would be welcome news to the citizen
of average means.
During the present season nature
supplied a valuable source of plant
feed in form of autumn leaves, which
in many places cover the ground to a
depth of several inches. The usual Gus
tom in villages is to burn these leaves
in cutters, and the average person does
not even take the pains to distribute
the ashes over the lawn or garden, and
thus the complete fertilizer value of
the leaves is lost.
In composition autumn leaves will
average somewhat better than one
per cent of nitrogen, one per cent of
potash and one-fourth of one per cent
of phosphoric acid. A conservative
value of these ingredients, expressed in
terms of one ton of leaves, at present
| prices of fertilizing constituents, would
| amount to between $l3 and $l4. OF
! course, autumn leaves are bulky and il
takes good many to weigh a ton, vet
their value is so great at the present
! time that it is worth the effort of any
enc who possess a garden spot to enrich
| the same with this splendid humus
n forming material. If, for any reason
il seems advisable to burn the leaves
the ashes which will be found very ricl
in potash, should be distributed Owe
the lawns and gardens.
The ideal way to utilize autumn
leaves as a fertilizer would be to us,
them as a bedding in stables. How
! ever, they may be composted will
garden loan in some conspicuous plsc,
and from time to time wood ashe
added to help in their disintegration
or they may he distributed directl'
over the land, followed by wheel har
rowing and blowing. Five tons o
\ leaves per acre (two pounds per squar
vard) would furnish an average amour
of nitrogen and potash for n home gal
4 den. It would be necessary TO MS
I from 500 to 1000 pounds of acid pho.
phate per acre 1thrce ounces per squar
Yard TO supply available phosphori
acid which IS not furnished in sufficier
quantity by the autumn leaves 1t ma
