Over Half Million Men
 Have Been Sent 10 Fran

@E ECRETARY BAKERS guarded 0 statement that there are more than five hundred thousand soldiers in France is sufficient guarantee that the war department has accomplished more than it promised.
 Speculation as to the exact number of troops in France at present is dis couraged for military reasons, yet If there were no more than five hundred thousand, that number sent to Europe and equipped for service in the com- paratively short time since President Wilson declared war, is an achieve ment of which we may we'll feel proud. Tremendous difficulties were overcome to accomplish this result. We didn't have the soldiers, we didn't have the ships and our war machin- cry was called on at short notice to undertake a far greater task than it had ever undertaken before.
 We already have enough men in France to make an army of considera- ble proportions, even in this super war. They are taking an active part in keeping the Huns at bay. They are not only holding the American sector," but they have been brigaded with British and French troops. Men are being sent across as rapidly as they can be trained and equipped. And everyone of these soldiers is sign of the growing strength of the allies and the waning chances of Prussian- ism to win victory.
 Perhaps the turning point has even now been reached. At any rate, the war lords realize that the world knows that if they cannot crush the allies in 1918 they are doomed in 1919

 Tt is not generally known that va rious fraternal orders in Birmingham have food committees said Dr. B. A. Fox, chairman of the Elks' food com mittee. These organizations are do- ing great deal to help along the food conservation campaign and they are standing squarely behind MT. Hoover, the national food administrator.
 Tuesday night I had the pleasure of delivering an address at the EllIs' home on the food situation, in which I particularly urged the Elks to eat more potatoes. There are plenty of both Irish and sweet potatoes now at a reasonable price, and apart from their being excellent fare, which can be served in great many different ways, it is our patriotic duty to eat food that is plentiful in order that other commodities may be saved for our soldiers and sailors.
 The Elks, who have a strong mem bership in Birmingham, are taking a keen interest in food conservation"

The weather was favorable, but the exceptional record is due chiefly to the energy and patriotic spirit of farm workers; for nothing will contribute more to the winning of the war than increased crops this year.

MY LADY APRIL

By Henry Van Dyke. When down the stair at morning The sunbeams round her float. Sweet rivulets of laughter
 Are bubbling in her throat; The gladness of her greeting
 Is gold without alloy; And in the morning sunlight think her name is Joy. When in the evening twilight The quiet book-room lies, We read the sad old ballads,
 While from her hidden eyes The tears are falling, falling,
 That give her heart relief; And in the evening twilight.
 I think her name is Grief. My little April lady.
 Of sunshine and of showers, She weaves the old spring magic And breaks my heart in flowers, But when her moods are ended, She nestles like dove; Then. by the rain and rapture, know her name is Love.

Crop Estimates for
 Alabama Favorable

E7NH HE United States department of 4 agriculture, through it's field agent, F. w. Gist, in charge of crop estimates for Alabama, reports as of May from which it appears that the condition of winter wheat is de- cidedly favorable.
 Of hay, the report shows that last years production in Alabama was the largest on record and says that this years crop promises to exceed that of 1917 ''by splendid increase" The acreage intended to be cut is csti- mated at 1,628, 900.
 The present condition of grass hay is 91 per cent of normal and the fore cast for the total crop is 2,371 ,00O tons, compared with 1,195,0 ,00O tons in 1917; but as the field agent remarks the realization of acreage and pro- duction will depend upon the planting of peanuts and cowpeas to be deter mined later.
 Pasture conditions in Alabama make fine showing per cent of normal compared with s3 last year and ar average of 86 per cent.
 Highly satisfactory progress has been made ip plowing-87 per cent having been accomplished by May 1 as compared with 81 per cent last year, and a five-year average of 81

Alabama Bankers in
 Patriotic Work

1N HE annual meeting of the Ala
 4 bama Bankers association brings to Birmingham large and ex- ceptionally representative body of men, and this community greets the visitors right cordially.
 In normal times the bankers are looked to for leadership in financial affairs, and the more progressive of them have been the mainstays of commerce and the promoters of agri- cultural enterprise in their respective localities.
 In this war period the bankers are more than business men. They are In the forefront of patriotic activities. They have much to do with molding public sentiment along lines of pa- triotic solidarity and, as matter of course, have played an important part in handling problems relating lndl- rectly, at least, to war financing. Every banker in the state has as- sisted in a very large way in 1 the successful outcome of the Liberty Loans. The addresses de- hvered at the opening session of the convention yesterday were broad visioned and animating. Col. G. L.. Conner of Eufaula, in responding to the address of welcome by Oscar Wells, made a ringing speech on the patriotic aspects of banking and touched upon some of the new re- responsibilities of the modern banker. An interesting programme has been prepared for today and it is safe to assume that this. years convention will reach high-water mark in it's practical influence on vital questions affecting the material welfare and the basic prosperity of Alabama.

 The wild hog did not take on fat but by breeding there are now a number of varieties that will fatten up in short time The domesticated hog has ire ouently become too heavy for his legs to support him, and they are shorter than those of the ones which roamed the pri- meval forests or hid in the bogs. The snout and neck are also shorter, while the shoulders and hams have been bred to take cn flesh marvelously. It is truly remarkable how not only the size and shape have been altered. but even the temper has been entirely changed,

If not, you have missed seeing a living example Of efficiency. Having to dig to live, they have a tough nose, with a sort of disk or shovel on the snout, and, believe me, when they let out grunt it means the porcine machine is running just as easy and as strong as when the Ford begins to hum after being cranked up.
 If you provide D pig with q large yard, he will keep his bedroom clean. A pig authority says: Tt is only when the small pen is made to serve as dining room, bedroom and wallow, all in one that the hog grows up to be filthy" Ii you want your pigs to be clean, give them fair chance"
