 The association was almoAt continu- ously in session yesterday The domi- nant note sounded by the speakers was that of Service"
 In line with this idea of service, the following resolution was adopted: Whereas, There is a great shortage of farm labor to produce the crops of l 1918, and the colored people constitute l the major part of the farm workers of the state and will be the chief sufferers 1 fir the event of failure to produce the necessary feed and food crops, and since
 there is great waste of farm labor on account of the wholesale Saturday holi- day practice among our people; be it Resolved, That the Alabama State Teachers association do hereby go on record as indorsing the anti-Saturday holiday movement inaugurated by the l colored farm demonstration agents of the state extension service. Resolved, second, That we indo~se | the idea of workers observing the rules l laid down by this organization shall
 have a badge of honor and certificate of efficiency granted them by the state extension service
 The association put itself on record | also as in favor of the prohibition movement
 Among the last speakers to the asso- ciation was Carl D. Coker representa- l tive of the War Savings Stamps com
 mittee, who stirred the teachers to such a high pitch of patriotic fervor that | resolution was passed recommending that each teacher purchase at east one Baby Bond and use his or her influence with the pupils and parents to do like
 wise. The resolution was introduced by l Dr. W. G. Mason.

the government by buying Libert Bonds"
 FIVE SONS IN SERVICE

At the conclusion of Mrs. Badham's s talk Dr. Brown told the teachers that she had given five sons to her coun- try. Two are at present in France, while the other three are in Ameri- can csntonments Mrs. Badham Is certainly doing her duty" said pr. Brown. Immediately after this a mo- ton was passed that the executive committee of the Alabama Educational association be requested to buy $500 worth of Liberty Bonds.
 Dr. Brown then introduced Miss Cora Pearson. chairman of the executive committee, who made brief talk. ex- pressing her appreciation of the many splendid addresses on the programme and of the large attendance at the several sessions of the association. Sho then introduced Miss Maude Lind- say of Florence. a kindergarten expert, who made a splendid talk on The Abiding Love for Literature." While it has been stated that Americanisn and patriotism is the keynote of the Alabama Educational association, it gives the teachers an opportunity of expressing determination to our best. Miss Lindsay stated it was not pos sible for every one of us to accom- pany the soldiers, but we can send them book to help pass their lonely hours, and it is a duty to help them in their thirst for literature. "A lover Of literature is never satisfied with ono book of an author" sa3d Miss Lindsay, but will follow until he is familiar with all the works of this author. It is the duty of the teachers of Alabama to tell good stories to children and in- still in them the love of good litera- ture."

TEACHERS TO ELECT
 OFFICERS AND HEAR COMMITTEE REPORTS AT FINAL SESSION

The Smith Hughes bill was discussed at length by Dr. Hawkins, and follow ing his address Mrs. Henry l.. Badham of Birmingham made a splendid talk in the interest of the third Liberty Loan. She spoke of the seriousness of the war and of the need of money to carry on the work already started stating it was up to the people at home to stand back of the boys at tho front and not allow them to suffer for lack of money, and one way to do this is to buy Liberty Bonds. wc have not denied ourselves the nones- sentials," said Mrs. Badham. ..and we must economize in every way, and give until it hurts if we would win the war, She emphasized the work the teachers can do in impressing the ne- cessity to save and work upon the children and urge them to buy Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds if they could not buy Liberty Bonds.
 We must win this war" said the speaker. "even if it takes every drop of our hearts blood and the blood Of our sons, for we are fighting for de- mocracy. Liberty Bonds are the best investment you can make with the un- settled conditions, for they are backed by our government, and until they are redeemed you will receive interest on your money and at the same time be helping your government. No patriotic citizen can be a stacker now, but every individual should do his duty and aid

Third Liberty Loan " Luncheon Conference
 EDent of Importance
Mrs. Jacobs Presiding Introduces Dr. Anna Shaw and Mrs. Beecher and Others Make Strong Patriotic Ap- peals to Conference of State Delegates at the
 Himan Hotel Yesterday
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

''rhe women of England, from the highest to the humblest, are toiling in intuition factories to make guns and shells for their soldiers. Will not the women of America do that far easier thing of merely lending the money to buy the guns for equipping the Amer ican man?
 "The safety for which these women of other lands are striving was won for American women long ago by the swords of American men. To preserve this safety for you and your children, American men are now marching 70 battle even as their forefathers marched. Will American women stand shoulder to shoulder with them? They are offering their lives as a gift Will you offer your dollars as loan?
 ITO save your home from the flames destroying France, your babies from the sword that murdered infants in Poland, your daughters from the hordes that ravished Belgian women even as they fled through the streets, American women are making the su- preme sacrifice What sacrifice will you make to help equip these defend- CTS of your country? What will you give up that you may help finance the struggle to save American freedom.
 Not a gift. but a loan, is asked of ' interest. Will you withhold your money while men offer their blood ? Buy Liberty Boad for your country s sake. Put it in your own name. Buy one. for the daughter it may save. Buy one for the boy too small to fight
 Following Mrs Reed, Mrs. Jacobs gracefully introduced Birmingham s own beloved Mrs Leonard T. Beecher, whose beautiful personality is infused II f,.1Tx .ci- ta,, ,,,., the splendid spirit of patriotism which she has shown in every movement con- nected with the great world war
 Mrs. Beecher spoke of the "trumpe call'' to duty to every woman in the land today, qualifying it later by say ing that it was far too remote q phrase. for each and every one felt not the trumpet call" which might come from a faraway street which we could not hear. but rather it was the tap on the shoulder" which bade us be up and doing
 Mrs. Beecher was followed by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the great suf- rage leader and chairman of the wom ans committee of the national council CT defense, Mrs. Jacobs declaring that she needed no introduction to a Bir- mingham audience after her splendid address on Thursday afternoon at the First Methodist church.
 pr. Shaw made a stirring, ringing address regarding the great opportun- 1ty presented to women by the Liberty Loan movement, and said, among other vital things:
 T know of no better way to spread patriotic propaganda than by the Lib erty Loan.''
 The event was delightful social compliment to the visiting delegates and from a patriotic standpoint brim- ruil of enthusiasm and interest.
