The records of the local express con- pany in connection with the unusually large shipments of liquor into Bessemei are being investigated by representa- tives of the department of justice, 1t IS stated For several weeks past the of flee of the express company at Besse- mer has been swamped with patrons standing in line in the lobby all day to secure the packages of liquor shipped in from wet territory Several petitions have been made to officials to take steps to prevent what appears to be the re- turn of pre-war conditions, and on re- quest of the company detectives ano deputy shefiffs have been placed at the whisky counter in an effort to prevent the violation of the law.
 Local officials of the express company state that their records will show that they are powerless to prevent delivery of the liquor, so long as patrons present documentary evidence that it is intended for medicinal use.

MONEY USED PROPERLY

Ihe package you send for Christmas may so astray, but you can rest assured that the money you contribute to this fund will be used for your boy, for every other boy in the service, and that
 1t will reach them at once The huts are the best substitutes for home that could be devised, and their secretaries
 take the place of parents. friends and
 Santa Claus. The man that does not contribute now will regret it as long as he lives"
 Congressman Oliver is looking remark ably well after his arduous tour, which took him within the range of the guns that are now silent in France, and he
 enters this campaign with more zeal than he has ever put into political scrap which is saying n great deal Among the prized souvenirs that he brought with him is a German carbne captured at Chateau Thierry by a Pickens county boy with the Rainbow dvision; son of Ike Hinton. who was in that fight with the old Fighting Fourth Alabama regiment. He also has q German hell met that he, himself, picked up on the battlefield, and several helmets, pistols and masks taken by members of Colonel Screws regiment and presented to him.

AGENCIES EVERYWHERE

You can rest assured that wher- ever your boy is, on land or sea, some one of these agencies is there with him to help and encourage him and to min ister to his needs. They are with him on the troop train, in camp, on the transports, in the training camps be- hind the lines, and even when he goes into the trenches or on the firing lines said Congressman Oliver
 The influence of these organizations will be great during the time of. de- mooillzaupn. There has never been 3 time when they were more needed than the present. Their work in the cities is as important as their work in the field They do not wait for the boys to come to the huts, they go out after them, watch over them and bring them in.
 When we seesthe hunSreds of men and women who have volunteered tor scar ry on this world, not only Americans, but citizens of all of the allied coun- sries we realize that it is as little as we can do to furnish the funds necessary to keep up this excellent and necessary work I hope to see every man, woman. and child in this district contribute some thing to this cause.

WISDOM OF PRESIDENT

Congressman Oliver says that the wisdom of President Wilson's course
 in advising the coordination of this work by uniting all of those agencies for this drive IS being proven by the results; that all of their budgets are being brought into review and their activities broadened. All of them are doing their work nobly and well and they are earning the support for which they are asking" was his comment.

"PATIENCE"

Editor Star: No, Superintendent
Brinson doesn't "seem unwilling for
men who have no children in school,
or those whose children have passed
school age, to have anything to say
about school affairs" Just another
case of your seeing things that are
not.
However, any one who can look at a
patient, unoffending school teacher
and think he sees "tribe,"' teach
erage," "teacherhood," a teacher
bund" or an educational autocracy,"
is liable to see most anything where it
isn't. Goodnight. j. H. Brinson.
We will leave it to the reader, if it
did not seem, by Mr.. Brinson's re-
marks, regarding &C." "Cracker" and
L. S. Light. that he was unwilling for
men who have no children in school to
have any part in discussing school af-
fairs. We can't read Mr.. Brinson's
mind. We only know what he said.
Teachers ought to be patient They
are paid to be patient. AS matter
of fact, they are not any more patient
than men and women in other walks
of life. They are not any more pa.
tient, nor is their patience taxed as
much as that of telegraph operators,
telephone girls. stenographers, clerks
in stores or anybody else that has to
deal with the public. And none of
them are as patient as the taxpayer
or the taxpayer'S wife with two or
more children to bring up.
