The plant of the Magic City Cotton Oil company was not damaged by the fire that destroyed the Farmers and Ginners Cotton Oil company's mill at East Bir- Eiingham last Saturday, according to a statement made by Manager l.. M. Por- ter yesterday.
 "The two rlants are on opposite sides of the street." said MT.

There is no connection hetween the two companies and our plant is GoiIg business just as usual, having suffered no damage that would interfere with complete operations"

At it's regular weekly meeting yes terday afternoon the Birmingham Trades Council voted to dispense with the Labor Day celebration which it had formerly decided to hold next Sunday. Sometime ago the central body of union labor of the Birmingham district decided to cele- brate Labor Day on Sunday, Septem- Der J, in order that the laboring people might work on Labor Day and donate the proceeds thereof to the Red Cross.
 cluding a parade from West park through the business district of Bir- mingham to Capitol park, where pa triotic addresses and religious serv- : ices would be held, then to East Lake for day of innocent amuse- ment had previously been arranged Yesterday, however, the council de- cided to call off all show of festivi- ties and to celebrate Labor Day by working for the Red Cross.
 Every laboring man in the district whether he be d member of a union or not, is expected to work on that day and to give his wages to the Red Cross. Those who are unable to work that day, whatever the cause may be, will donate the wages earned on some other day to the Red Cross. The union officials, however, are anxious that every working man or woman in the district work .on Labor Day, as the extra pay received then would add largely to the fund of the Red Cross.
 There was a large attendance at the meeting and a number of new

W.S.S. BUYERS MUST REALIZE ADVANTAGE |OF INVEST MENTS
Purpose of Plan Is Present and Future Good to the Nation, Says Lyman
 Parsons Wood

Lyman Parsons Wood, financial pu3- licity expert of the Collins organiza : ton of Philadelphia, is spending few days in the city at the Tutwiler hotel. MT. Wood has hobby-and it is thrift. He thinks, talks and dreams thrift'
 When asked about the War Savings Stamp campaign, MT. Wood said: .In encouraging everybody in this country to buy Thrift Stamps, l be- lieye too much stress has been iali on patriotic duty, rather than on the personal benefit that comes to the one that so invests his money. The pur- pose of those who thought out this way of raising an additional two plliion dollars to help finance the war was not so much the raising of two billion dollars, but the good that would come rieht now and the future good of real thrift.
 Accumulated reserves of savings should not be used to buy these War Savings Stamps, but rather the new money that can be accumulated eacn and every day by cutting out waste and needless expenditure. And also by cashing in on waste time. Time, as we all know, is the most valuable asset a man has, and if every one would keep a diary of time and check up each night his wasted minutes and hours, he would soon find that if these were accounted for, his power to buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps would be largely increased.
 Tt is unpatriotic to have an 1dle hour today There is work for every body. Work or fight is the slogan. There was a time when to practice thrift was regarded by the average American as something he would De laughed at for But to be able 10 plan an intelligent savings idea today is something to be respected for The leaven of the thrift campaign Is work ing. Every worthwhile force is coop erating to this end. The whole coun- try is becoming imbued with the id3n that thrift is necessity, that thrift IS manly, that thrift is something man will be respected for.
 This awakening among the Ameri- can people is revelation--it is won- derful From the most thriftless na- tion on the globe, it is forecast that the end of the war will find this nation the thrift nation of the world, and m position to take advantage of untold opportunities.
 "Now. let's get down to facts: Are you. the individual, setting aside re- serve for this future. so you personal- ly can profit by future opportunities? Make the start today, while there IS opportunity. for you will have no one but yourself to blame if you are not ready when the time comes, and all those around you are reaping the re- wards of present-day opportunity.
