 A striking feature of the campaign was that at o'clock this afternoon the total amount was only $S0.000 pr, John M. Clark. chairman of the loan, and others immediately got busy in effort to raise another sio.0oo, and their efforts were awarded with some to the good. Receipts at postoffice also show that q big increase was made in the sale of Thrift Stamps, which goes to show that those unable to buy bonds are buying stamps.

STORY OF THREE
 COPPER MAGNATES
nv HOLLAND


 New York. May 5.-(Special.) )-Ta6en as a group consisting of no more than three men. William Boyd Thompson, Daniel Cowan Jackland and John D. Ryan represent the stupendous produc- tive power which has been developed in the great copper mines of Montana. Utah and Arizona. If figures were to be used to convey some idea of their con structive achievements then the figures would range up in the millions. They are esteemed among the ablest and great est of American industrial forces. They have accumulated large wealth and yet very small in comparison with the new wealth. which has been created for the United States by means of their energy, foresight and constructive ability.
 Today these three men have been brought into the service of the govern ment MT. Ryan recently, MT. Jackland little earlier, and MT Thompson, who has been officer of the government since the organization of the federal reserve system and has also devoted several months and utilized a large amount ot money in developing to the highest de- gree possible Red Cross work in Russia.
 Although these three men have in the aggregate of their achievements devel- oped enormous copper producing capacity in the far west. nevertheless each one differs from the other two in certain temperaRental and personal characteris- tics, although in many respects their in- tellectual power. executive ability and their dominating energy and patience are similar It is an interesting and possibly significant fact that all of them were born in the west. one, MT. Thoinp- son, in the remote west. Montana, while MT Jackland's birthplace was Missouri and Mr. Ryan's Michigan.
 Others who nave developed large cop per properties in the United States, as, for instance, the Calumet and Hecia group, and the Phelps. Dodge x Co. group, are eastern men, and their prop critics have been exclusively developed with eastern capital. Upon neither ot these groups has the government up to this time called for such aid as 1t has recently asked or almost demanded oi MT. Thompson, Mr. Jackland and MT. Ryan. All three began life amid hum- ble environments and all three received such education as they secured chiefly by their own efforts. Each one is in full

Coal Operators and Miners
 Purchase Liberty Bonds

Centerville, May 5.-(SpeciaD Much
 interest was manifested by the people
 of Bibb county towards the close of the third Liberty Loan drive. The coal miners and operators in the north
 ern part of the county have been un-
 usually liberal in buying these bonds.
 Hampton s. Smith and Ross c. Smith, prominent citizens who operate the mines of the Red Feather Coal com pany in the northern part of Bibb have displayed great interest in get ting their employees to buy bonds. They called two meetings Friday night, one for the negro employees and the other for the white employees. Ross c. Smith and w. w. Lavender ad- dressed the negro miners at church ] at Red Eagle mine Friday night and
 at the conclusion of the speaking p negroes bought bonds.. At the meeting of the white miners in another part of the town, speeches were made by W. R. Young cashier of the West Bloc ton bank Hampton s. Smith, Ralph c Thomas and w. w. Lavender. This was an open-air meeting and large crowd attended, including many wom en. At the conclusion of the speeches , a number of little girls wearing Red Cross bonnets served ice cream to the crowd, the cream being furnished free by Ross C. Smith and Hampton S. Smith, operators of the mine. Prac- ticalIy every man present bought bonds.
 Chairman Letcher Melton announces that the amount subscribed in Bibb county for Liberty Bonds of the third issue will approch $200,oo0. This is about three times the task given the county. The women of the county deserve much credit for the work that they have done to make the drive a success.

Interesting Sidelights on
 Electrochemists's Visit to Muscle Shoals Section

Florence, May 5.--( Especial l-There arc many interesting sidelights con nected with the visit of the Electro chemical society to the Muscle Shoals district last Thursday that could not oe embodied in the story to the press on that date.
 It IS particularly interesting to the towns in the Muscle Shoals section and to the entire state of Alabama that the leaders of the American Electro chemical society will use the weight of their influence for the development of ali the hydroelectric power that may be obtained at the Shoals. Only about one-third of the power will be developed, according to present plans of the government, but this distin- suished body will use its influence to have the full 6s0.Oo0 horsepower developed.
 Among the speakers at the oarbe- cue Thursday given on the Florence side of the Tennessee river, were rep resentatives from the water power cen ters of Niagara Falls and Keokuk. la, and the thought frequently was expressed that the three greatest cen ters of hydroelectrical development in this country should work together. 1t is the importance of the electrochem- teal industries in their relation to the war that has led the leaders of ac- tivity at Muscle Shoals, Niagara Falls and Keokuk to get together c. w. Ashcraft, vice president of the Ten nessee River Improvement association, who conducted the program, sounded this note in opening the meeting, and J. W. Worthington, who welcomed the visitors, passed it along and invited the scientific men to come down to this southern country and help to stop

JOHN D. RYAN's CAREER

John D. Ryan is associated with the development of the great Anaconda cop per properties of Montana, and from Montana his authority reaches through association to the large copper mines in Chilli, whence considerable addition to the worlds supply of copper is obtained. He also is associated with banks, and his activities are many All of these men possess executive capacity of a high order Each is able swiftly to reach judgment which is accurate. never per
 hitting any procrastination after an opinion is formed. in this respect greatly resembling Charles M. Schwab.
 With three men who stand in that con- siderable list of men who have gained pre-eminence in the world of industry in command with power to enforce com mands, of certain departments or activ- ities under the government which the war has entailed, it is probable that re- suits will be secured as speedily as those which are certain to follow the leader ship of Charles M Schwab in the ship building industry of the United States.

MIR. HIGHLANDS CARER

Daniel c. JackIand was born in a lit- tie town in Missouri amid surroundings which would not, to youth of average ability, have attracted him to the world Of science and afterward to applied science. By his own efforts he secured a scientific education in Missouri. ana for time became a teacher in one ot the Missouri colleges. But the call Of the west reached him and was answered. file went to Cripple Creek, where he IS still remembered as an employe who was not only willing, but eager to begin al the bottom, learning thereby every detail of mining operations. So in a little while he was called to the Mercur gold mines of Utah. Jackland will always, however, be associated with the wonder full development of the Utah Copper com- pany. having had the courage and juds-

 Tor this company was built by Col. Hugh l.. Cooper, United States army engineer, who is charged with Inc J Shoals. Mir Wilcox said that Robert r.

V1gor. One of them is spoken of in the financial district of New York as nav ing accumulated in absolutely honorable ways one of the largest American for tunes, although less than 20 years ago he was. by such employment as he could secure, working his way through a pre- paratory school and also the Columbia School of Mines.
 MT. Thompson is native of Virginia City, Mon. In his early boyhood he was brought into close association with the pioneers in the mining and other devel- opments which had at that time just be- gun in Montana. He made his way east while still in his teens and found op- portunity while at the St. Paul schooi at Exeter, N. H., to earn enough to pay his way. While there he made acquan- tance with lad who, like himself. sought and obtained employment where by he, too. could pay for his board and tuition. Twenty years later these two men were brought into close association in the financial world, for both had achieved greatly. The companion whom young Thompson found at Exeter in q situation similar to his own was Thomas W. Lamont, now a partner in the house of J. r. Morgan & Co. Having finished his course at Exeter Thompson studied at Columbia, gaining at the school Of mines the technical and scientific knowl- edge which. supplementing his energy. judgment and intellectual power, enabled him to take hold of and develop one Of the great copper properties of Arizona, now widely known as the Inspiration. With the history of this corporation Mr Thompsons name will always be identi- fled. Later he became director in the Rock Island railroad and in other com- panies and when the federal reserve bank system was organized and the Bank of New York established, he was named as one of the directors. MT. Thompson does things easily, because his mind works that way. His services in Russia were so great that it was officially re- ported few days ago that the Ameri- can Red Cross in Russia is the only organization which the Soviet govern nent recognized and appreciates.
