AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only Limitation upon Ameri-;
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped $3.50, Dos
bushels. II this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 2sS. 5OOO bushels Of wheat and
hour In terms OF wheat
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
Suites has been that with the cessa-
ton Of hoStlitles We are able to re-
turn to q normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sib,e markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus There Is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the CON-
mon table
But last year the tale was different
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep
steady stream Of wheat and -four moy-
Ing across the sen. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus Of
&C, 200 900 bushels And yet Europe
was facing the probability Of a bread
famine-and In Europe bread Ia by fur
the most important article In the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early In the fall. By the first
Of the year we had managed to ship
little more than 100000 bushels by
pracucing the utmost economy ut
home-by wheattess days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord RhOndda.
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only IL we sent an additional TO-
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response Of the American pec-
ME wns $4,000 900 bushels safely deliv-
/ cred overseas between Januaty j and
July /. Out of a harvest which gave
rs only 2O,OO0,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141, 900 900 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that with
On awakened war conscience. last

* < < Birmingham Loses An Esteemed Banker

0OHN H. BARR was quiet in man. O ner and singularly usassuming but as banker he measured up to the highest standards of commercial ethics and modern practice As vice president, afterwards president and finally chairman of the board of di- rectors of the First National bank he occupied place in the financial world which gave him wide and de- served distinction. In his death Bir- mingham loses not only valued and honored citizen, but a man who made an impress on the entire business com munity.
 Even while filling a minor position in the bank his large capacity and sterling character were recognized and when advanced to a responsible office demanding the exercise of pru- dence, combined with self-reliance, his counsel in stressful times was sought and followed. No man of affairs was ever better poised.
 MT. Barr was thoroughly versed in the theory of banking as well as ir it's practical application to the mer- cantile needs of growing city. He was what all progressive bankers who have risen to eminence must be, student of complex economic prob lens, but with all of his reputation his modesty was remarked and his Straightforward methods were pointed to as worthy of imitation.
 In social life MT. Barr had many close friends and those who were his intimates knew him as most lovable man. The pass ing away of such a citizen will be sincerely regretted and all who had been associated with him in the bonds of comradeship will keep his memory green.

Weather Prophets
 On Early Spring

wv As1 prophets ass s,s sspsesly sany type, are already predicting an early spring In this part of the country winter came ahead of time, and by the law of average 1t should depart ahead of time. The thermometer registering almost as low as zero before Christ mas made new high record for De- cember hereabouts.
 The cold spell has lasted longer than usual in this climate, but the ice king has relaxed his grip, and while winter is by no means over, the fact that the back bone will stay broken for while, causes rejoicing among thinblooded folks, as well as among
 the destitute.
 In the meanwhile the farmer well IOlhCo Ldll WCdLICI lOl HULL WOi IN preparatory to spring blowing can be
 done now. The severe freezes have been of incalculable benefit to the land. There will be more freezing weather between now and April, and
 when seeding time comes the fields
 should be in exceptionally good condi- tion.
 If the goose-bone prophet fails in Ihis forecast for warm weather in the latter part of March, the gardener of experience and the agriculturist will
 not be disappointed, as they will not
 have long to wait before spring comes la-burgeoning,

A middle-aged widow always looks
 as if she had lost something. But it is different with young widow. What has become of the old-fash- toned man who used to carry watch that was about four inches thick and
 weighed about four pounds? Some men do not pay much attention
 to bills that they owe. But you should see them get busy when they get one that they do not owe.
 man will brag about everything else that his wife possesses. But you
 never hear him bragging about her

 One reason why printing shops are
 kept busy is because every time some
 men get new jobs they get new cards
 printed.
 A man likes to think of what a soft
 snap he would have if he could only
 reach the top of the ladder. But if he
 ever did, he would find that he would
 have to work twice as hard to keep his position at the top. It is very true that people would rather believe the bad things they hear about other folks than believe the good things, isn't it? And so would you. A widow never realizes what won uSi Adi HuSbdHu ShS iittu oiitii ouC iCdu1 his obituary.

Born and reared in the south a typical have a right to speak freely on the re- lations between the white and the black man.
 My father was a slave owner, but l came on the scene after the freeing Of the negroes but early enough to pass through the hell of reconstruction, which enough before the carpet-bagger was driven out to understand some of the hunliliations which were heaped upon the south,
 I knew the bitterness engendered be- tween the negroes and the whites by un- scrupulous adventurers from the north who misled and fleeced the blacks, and at the same time sowed hatred in the hearts of the dominant race by trying to put their former slaves over them in positions of honor
 I can well remember in Eufaula when many negroes were killed in the famous riot that brought on a government in- quiry. can hear the rattle of guns and pistols and see the fleeing negroes who deserted by their white leaders, fled pell men through the streets and out into the country roads.
 I can almost live through the excite ment of seeing a company of regular army men detrain and march through the streets and make their way to per manent camp. How they fascinated me, in spite of the fact that I was taught to look upon them as intruders. I recall how some of them used to some to church and Sunday school
 I am conscious that when the negroes first observed emancipation day in Bar bour county it was regarded by the best citizens as bad move and an imperti- hence. No leading white man would have been willing to have honored the oc- casion even with his presence. It would have meant business and social ostra- cism. Even if any one had dared to do it his mere presence would have been looked upon with suspicion by the ne- groes themselves.
 I remember as though it happened only yesterday, how a few of my boyhood companions and l, while out in the woods, came upon an emancipation celebration. and. boylike,. stood on the outskirts of the crowd and listened to the fiery ora tions. To be truthful, I must state that one speech made by an educated young

BREAD AND NEWSPAPERS

By Oliver Wendell Holmes.
 We must have something to eat and the papers to read. Everything else we can give up. If we live in a small way, there are at least new dresses and bon nets and everyday luxuries which we can dispense with. If the young zou- ave of the family looks smart in his new uniform, it's respectable head is content, though he himself grow seedy as caraway-umbel late in the sea son. He will cheerfully calm the per turbed nap of his old beaver by patient brushing in place of buying a new one, if only the liedtenant's jaunty cap is what it should be. We all take q pride in sharing the epidemic economy of the tima Only bread and the news paper we must have, whatever else we do without.

9M BIRMINGHAM is getting to be a IN0 rich mans town.
 I mean by rich men, those who are achieving great success and mak- ing money.
 Three years ago the men conducting machinery and foundry establishments and metal finishing plants were doing little business, and but few of them were making money Today their plants are humming. They are overwhelmed with orders Most of them have paid their debts, and all are making money in volumes
 So it has been with many, of the coal operators. and the cotton mills have made much more money than their stock holders had anticipated.
 There is one concern in this town. which has made fortune by. reginning cotton seed and selling the fibre to explosive plants. Another in the cottonseed oil and fertilizer business has prospered splendidly.
 It was not many years ago that the president of a certain industrial plant in Birmingham told me that the entire property, which his company owned could never earn the interest on it's then outstanding bonds. Today the bond issue of this company is two and half times what it was then and it's stock is something like five times the then volume. It is today paying inter- est on both it's bonds and stock, and is setting aside a big surplus for fu- ture development.
 A careful and conservative banker told me yesterday that he didn't know of a man in Birmingham, who has given the proper attention to his business, who was not succeeding finely. And he men, toned to me several score of men whose earnings were beyond anything that they could have dreamed of several years ago.
 Many of the banks here have collect off; and the merchants have done so
