CARE-FREE PEOPLE

''The people of the south. especially, need to do their share in making this loan to the government. They are the nations most care-free people, hospitable almost to fault, but they are not say CTS.
 This is not a time for peace propa- ganda, for dissenson among ourselves for the placing of individual interests above your country's, but it is time above all times when We should all put our shoulders to the wheel and put every ounce of our strength behind it, when we as nation should think as one. work to one idea, for the accomplishment of our purpose-one victory--it is time for sacrifice and for labor, when all un- necessary waste of energy should be abolished, every ounce or strength con- served and applied when it should be most useful, when the rumor monger and gloom dispenser should find friend in nobody. The test of the character of America as nation is now being made. ?

This chap is new in sense-but there is as yet nothing new in reality about him. He is a repetition of what we have had for the last 1917 years, according to records, and in that sense can be looked upon only as another addition to the family of years. But in adopting the orphan the question arises, what are you going to do with the infant?
 Dr. N. A. Barrett, who at present is umpiring in the municipal league, being a physician, in fact, with sheepskin cor rectly signatured, was quite naturally the first one to turn to look the young ster over.
 He is perfectly formed. of average in- telligence, healthy, and bids fair to spend 12 eventful months with us. I trust he will be cordially welcomed, for ho is here to stay, and Ne must accept our responsibility said Dr. Barrett at o'clock this morning when called over the phone to get his professional view of the new born babe.

May he bring peace-which will be indeed a happy new year to us all.' said Dr. Bar rett
 JOHN TAYLOR CONFUSED In coming into a. new town, in taking up his abode to do business for the en- suing year, it was quite necessary for the offspring to make peace with the powers that be at the city hall as per Consequently John H.

"Only by the curtailmcnt in the production of nonessentiaIs. in the consumption of nenessentials and in the demand for nonesscntials, will the United States be capable of doing her part toward winning this war;" said William H.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-01-01

There is too much talk at present about peace, it is out of place and not in keeping with the policy adopted by this country. peace at present with the German government could not be an enduring peace, it would amount to mere ly truce in which that power would be enabled to gain back lost strength and pursue her course of inhuman war fare with greater effectiveness than at present. What we have to guard against is premature peace, peace without victory

MARKETS ARE FLOODED

Billions of dollars are spent in this country annually for the purchase of non- essentials-tobacco, soft drinks, chewing gum, cosmetics, intoxicating liquors and other things. The markets are being flooded with articles devised to separate the American and his small change dollars go as if, by magic, for the many things which are displayed to cause the desire to spend. By the elimination of this desire is the greatest step toward the successful conclusion of the war to be made.
 "The Presidents proclamation nor the acts of Congress will not win this war. It will be won by the people of the na- tion supporting the President and Con- gress. We must save our small change and lend it to the government accept as our lot a closer connection with the w1f, do something to make us realize that it is our battle, something that will bring it closer home to us. We must each feel more personal interest in it.
 "FOr this reason more than any
 other, the thrift stamps and baby
 bonds have been issued. 1t is be-
 ing done to establish a much need

 nation, and at the same time, which
 is the primary reason, to get the
