EDUCATE THE PEOPLE

To-day our government has awak- ened to the fact that we must edu- cate the people regarding the great causes that are coming every few weeks and which will continue to must drive these vital thoughts and ideas home. I knew of man in this recent Liberty Loan drive who would not buy a Liberty Bond and when urged by a certain small industrial operator, this ignorant farmer who lived away from the railroad and was afraid of banks and of the men In Washington whom he did not know. finally agreed to buy the bond if his friend. in whom he had implicit con- fidence would indorse it. That is the only Liberty Bond in existence today that bears q personal indorsement, and and that farmer owns it.
 Confidence and education along these lines are very important, and this club can do an invaluable work in this line. I have no doubt but that we will go over the top in this drive. but we must not be overcon- fident We are trying to get every mining camp and every industrial plant organized. and we believe it only proper that these men should be all lowed to work themselves instead of being worked, for they are entitled tc the glory in it, and they are human and want it. just like we do. It is our intention to have eight or ten men in each industry to act as leaven among the workingmen of Birming- ham.
 .I want to emphasize right here,
 and l want every one of yOu
 young men to do likewise every
 opportunity you have, thnt every
 dollar put into the Red Cross fund
 will go 100 per cent to the war
 working fund. The incidental ex-
 penxe of this cnmpnign locally has
 been arranged for. and local men
 will take care of that, not penny
 of the money subscribed going for
 expenses"

LIEUT.. GA. JONES, JR. TELLS PARENTS HOW| EMERGENCIES AR|SE| FOR BOYS AT FRONT Writes of Thrilling Automo- bile Trip and Finds Some
 Huns Work Even
 Behind Lines STEEL HELMETS ARE HEAVY UNTIL BOYS GET USED TO THEM Says Boys Closest to Line Are Safest Because Big
 Guns Shoot Over
 Their Heads

Lieut.. c. A. Jones, Jr., coast artillery corps. son of Mir. and Mrs. c. A. Jones, 126 Huntsville Road, writes a unique letter from France. telling about some of. the emergencies that come up and how the boys meet them. A recent letter to his parents reads:
 "Wednesday, France, April f6
 Dear Folks. My head aches so from wearing a steel helmet I am afraid cant write much of a letter, but I haven't written for two weeks, so will do my best. I had quite an experience the first part of last week. The colonel in charge of our regiment sent me Gin a Dodge car) after some spare parts for our guns to town about 1S0 miles away; upon arriving there I found that they could not supply them and that the nearest place that I could get them was l90 miles farther I couldn't get in touch with my colonel, so I took it on my own initiative to go on. It was very import ant that I should get back as soon as possible, so stopped at one of our head quarters and exchanged the Dodge for a National Six and made the 1so miles in little over five hours. I would have been back in record-breaking time but for spy. He put the motor on the bum and caused two bearings to burn out, I got them fixed in F hours and got al- most back to where I exchanged cars and they burned out again, so I disconnect- led the two cylinders and came in on four. Someone had run off with the Dodge. so I got Winton Six and brought the parts back in it. The col onel was tickled to death and he and I are pals now.
 ADVANTAGE IN BEING CLOSE
 "At present I am 'billeted" in a French home. not large enough to caii a chateau. in a town that is a real deserted village Only about 20 of the. inhabitants are left. They are either too old to leave or pro- Germans, but we are so close to the front that the guns shoot over us.
 With so many long range guns in action I believe the closer the safer ac- cording to that we are pretty safe. We travelled on the train for two days and it was almost as bad train as the one I took the first few days I was in France. They don't have train schedules; they use a calendar. I think. After we got off the train we hixed all night in the rain over road lighted by star shells sent up over No Mans Land The flashes from the big guns lit up the hori- zon and looked so much like the furnaces around Birmingham I felt like we were walking along Red mountain.
 TT haven't seen a newspaper for sew eral days or had any inside dope on the war, but there's only one way l can fig ure things-the war is either going to end before next Thanksgiving or last at least five years more. So, maybe, 1t would be wise thing for Fred and Bruce to start studying military tactics, etc, and be sure that they get in the artillery-as the French say, 'Artiller De Luxe,

FARM LOAN BANK

Tyler Goodwin, manager of the Fed- eral Farm Loan bank of New Or leans, explained the workings of that in stitution and endeavored to clear up some Of the misunderstanding respecting it, He said he had studied banking in limited way and had discovered that there were two classes of bankers-hank- CTS and money lenders.

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY

The convention met at lV 0 CLOCK yes terday morning in the ballroom of the Tutwiler, and immediately upon being called to order, adopted a resolution of sympathy for James Keith of Annston, former president of the association, whose health made it necessary for him to relinqush his business duties and return to his old home in Virginia to recuperate.
 President Jackson read letter from George E. Tarrant, recently appointed labor administrator for Alabama, regret ting his inability to be present, and ask ing the bankers of the state to cooper ate with the labor administration in mo- bilizing the man power for work on ia rms Offices will be established in all the cities and towns of the state Tor the purpose of enlisting farm labor.
 Because of important business engage ments in the east, Waddill Catchlngs, chairman of the board of directors or the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company, who was on the programme for an ad- dress could not be present.
 In place of J. F. Duggar of the Ala bama Polytechnic institute at Auburn, Professor Watson of that institution made a short talk on the subject of scientific farming and the work being done by Alabama's agricultural school He said that the experimental service should be represented in every county in the state, and that this work fur- nished a splendid chance for co-opera- ton between the bankers and the farm

VITAL TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED AT THE CLOSING SESSION OF STATE BANKERS Montgomery Selected as the Next Place of Meeting.
 Experts Tell of
 War Plans STACKER" BANKERS OF STATE SCORED BY COMER OF EUFAULA Tyler Goodwin Explains Workings of Farm Loan
 
 Bank-Patriotic Reso-
 lutions Adopted
By W. J. BoLEs

After one of the most successful con- ventions in it's history, the Alabama Bankers association elected officers yes- terday. selected Montgomery as the next meeting place, discussed labor, land loan banks, food production and conser- walton, profiteering, trade acceptances, four-minute men, war and agricultural experts, and then adjourned for an auto mobile ride about the city and district.
 More business was crowded into yester- days session than in either of the pre- ceding days and it ended with express sions of mutual gratitude and thanks on the part of Birmingham and her guests.
 Two of the most interesting questions to come before the convention were farm loan banks and food production and con servation, the bankers manifesting lively interest in both. Patriotic devo- ton to the countrys cause entered into all of the discussions. and when they ad- journed it was with a determination to respond more liberally to the nation s ds.ma nds in the future than in the past.
