COLUMBUS KNIGHTS
 WAR FUND DRIVE ID END TODAY AT NOON
Goal Not Yet Reached and Workers Will Keep Up Campaign Until Quota
 Is Secured

The Knights of Columbus drive that has been on in Birmingham for the past week closes today at noon. Every one is confident that the $25,00O goal, the amount asked for, will be reached if not passed before the final returns are in.
 The workers in this campaign state that splendid cooperation has been ex- tended to them throughout the campai ign by members of every creed, and appre- ciation of this work is expressed ry workers on all sides.
 When Knights of Columbus Field Marshal Col. T. O. Smith calls the meet ing to order today at noon in the ball. room of the Tutwiler hotel, Gen. T. J. Crittenden has promised that a cneck for $25.000 or more will be turned over to him.
 The ladies' division Is still keeping up it's work on the quiet They only smile when asked for their returns, and as the ladies have promised nothing, the word has been passed about that all must work all the harder to secure the amount needed
 The fund had passed the S20,000 mark at noon Saturday, with enthusiasm pun- ming high. All teams were striving to outdo others and over $3O0O was turned in during the day.
 In speaking of the drive and the pur- poses for which the fund is being raised one of the workers said yesterday.
 Tn the words of our great President spoken last April: The supreme test of the nation has come. We must all speak, act and serve together, Bearing these words in mind, the Knights of Colum- bus of America come to you today in behalf of the American soldier Not for his Catholic comrades: not for his com rade in Belgium's heroic army not in the name of our true friends, the gal lant soldiers of France; not in one of these do We come to you. But our plea is for the American soldier, be he prot estant, Jew or Catholic. it matters not if his uniform belongs to Uncle Sam. If you have not yet given, give today in Gods name. Give and when the news comes that those who have gone over have met the Hun. faced death for you and me, you need not fool yourself as you can others, but will know you did your bit for the greatest cause ever fought in this world-humanity''

the Estes Lumber company donated
 the lumber with which to build their
 house. There are large monkeys and
 small monkeys, pretty monkeys and
 ugly monkeys, but they all are fuli
 of fun and chase and play with each other all day long. There is even a
 monkey faced owl at the park that would pass for blood brother of the
 monkeys if only its face could pe seen.
 There are four bears in one of the
 largest and best equipped dens any where in the south. One of the bears
 has had an attack of the mango and
 he Is almost hairless, but the others
 are all well. They have woke up aft
 CT their winter sleep and wrestle and
 play in the sun all day.
 A splendid home has been built for the eagles and those patriotic birds are housed in fine shape. The laamas. pheasants, parrots and coyotes are all ill their old quarters. More animals and houses are being added as rap idly as possible and the zoo bids far to soon become one of the largest i'll tiIe south.
 The natural scenery surrounding the

THE FRIENDSHIP 0F JESUS TOPIC OF DR. ]. EDM0NDS' SERMON Large Congregation in Att tendance at Lyric-Series
 of DOctrinal Sermons
 at the Temple

"The Friendship of Jesus" was the topic of Dr. H. M. Edmonds' sermon at the Lyric last night. when he spoke to large audience.
 When one takes an inventory of his friends we find a wide inclusiveness, the rich and poor, the high and low, the good and bad. Coming into world of prejudice as he did, where the Jew looked upon the gentle as despised being, out of favor with God and alto gether impossible as an associate, Jesus defied convention, took down barriers, went beyond all boundaries in his forma- tion of friendship. He feared no com tamination, even the scourgings of the earth were worth while in his eyes \ "Our interests ought to be all inclu- sive everything with which human be- Eings is concerned or engaged in ought to arouse our interest; to be really alive a chord of sympathy ought to be struck within you for every other.
 Jesus large and inclusive friendship among all classes. and there were no more among the highest classes than the lower, were based upon the common de- nominator of the element of need, that he encountered constantly in the great as we'll and as often as In the humble.
 ITO be true friend, to win and keep friends, it is not necessary always to agree" said the speaker in closing. "Reproof is sometimes the thing need ed. Jesus loved the welfare of His friends better than He loved their ap- proyal; He sought to love andS serve, not to be loved and served; He was the ideal friend
 The music at the services was an en- ltoyable feature. Mrs. John Turner's vio- lin numbers were very pleasing.
 At the morning service pr. Edmonds spoke of Classification by Faith" con tinuing his series of doctrinai sermons. Hia sermon on this topic was most Hum mating to many minds somewhat cloudy upon this particular theological point In the course of his sermon, painting a pcture of God as the watchful and al together just judge, and man as the cul. brit brought before the judge and found guilty of everything and sentenced to the extreme penalty for transgressine every law, he held out this loophoie Here is Jesus, my perfect Son, who is just. If you will believe in him I will regard you as just for His sake and for give you. That is not what is meant by justification" said Dr. Edmonds.
 By taking Jesus as your pattern and helper you leave off the sin and the vileness and become an acceptable child to God, your Father-you become justi- fled through your own change in heart expressed in your life and thought"

 Are Present

With prayer and the singing of Amer
 ica." the sixth annual Baptist Training
 school in the Birmingham district opened
 it's initial meeting yesterday afternoon
 at the First Baptist church. The meet
 ing was called to order by Dr. w. F.
 Marlborough, secretary of the Alabama
 board of Baptist missions, with an au-
 dience present that taxed the capacity

 tist church of St Joseph, Mo. whose
 subject was, How We Got Our Bible. .
 In announcing his subject pr. Dillard
 stated that he would deliver a series oi
 lectures on the Bible in which he might advance ideas that did not, coincide with some of the views of his hearers, but asked them not to jump at hasty conclusions but to wait until the end of the series to form their opinions. The place of the Bible Is the problem of the day, said the speaker how was it made? how did we get it? was Il
 inspired? what is it's %sramount value
 He said the purpose of the lectures at
 the training school was to help answer these questions.
 Dr. billiard spoke of the changing con ditions and in referring to the close study of the Bible said that we must view it from the standpoint of the pc riod in which it's books were written IT order to get it's real meaning and value. He stated all biblical authorities agree that the Bible is a literature unique ir it's nature, permanent in value and suf- ffcient for the purposes tor which il was written.
 The introduction of the faculty that will conduct the school was made by Dr. Marlborough, who announced the assignment and lessons for the week. The actual work of the training school will commence this afternoon at o'clock when Miss Kathleen Mallory will take up the manual of w.

RULES GOVERNING GRAHAM AND WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR SALES
Whitaker Gives Information Regarding Flour and Sub. stitutes-Heavy Penal
 ties for Hoarding

Speir Whitaker, food administrator for Jefferson, has given out a statement as to the exact rules for the use of Graham and whole wheat flour, many inquiries having been made in reference to this matter. He also gives the penalties for the hoarding of necessary foodstuffs which are fines tip to s5o0o and two years imprisonment. The rules follow:
 Graham and whole wheat flour are made from wheat and, therefore, are not wheat flour substitutes. The only diff ference between this and ordinary flour
 is that grain and other properties of wheat berry ordinarily removed in mlil-
 ing are left in when this flour is mace. Bran by itself is wheat flour substi- tute. and this graham and whole wheat flour is between 20 and 20 per cent bran, and on this account it is not necessary to buy but 6-10 of a pound of substi- tue cereal with one pound Of graham or whole wheat flour.
 Bread, biscuit or rolls made from gra- ham or whole wheat flour satisfies the rules governing bakeries. that 20 per cent of substitute must be used in all such products; and bread containing as much as 20 per cent substitute may te served in public eating places on wheat less days and meals In the homes. however the food administration re- quires that even graham and wh1le wheat bread be barred on wheatless days and meals. No food made from wheat or containing wheat in any form should be served in the homes on wheatless days and meals.
 The penalty for hoarding necessary foodstuffs is a fine of not exceeding $5O00, and in addition, imprisonment for net exceeding two years. Any person who has on hand supplies of flour, su- gar, or other necessaries, except canned goods, sufficient to last for more than So~days. is prima facie guilty of hoard ing.
 MT. Whitaker has now under investi- gatfon several cases where individuals and dealers are reported to have on hand an excessive amount of flour, and if this flour is not returned immediately. then under the provisions of this order he will. institute proceedings.
