Days and Influenzn

Churchless Days and Influen1n Tt occurs to me that the present in fuenza epidemic has made people think more about she church and religion than Billy Sunday or any other evan
 gelist of my aequaintance,' said pr. r. E. Perkins, the well ll-known dentist yesterday.
 Tn the first plaee, closing the churches is something almost unprecedented in the age and time of most of us, and 1t is thing that has made people stop
 and think A churchless sunday is something almost unknown. It gives us an opportunity to pause and wonder what wee do without our churches. Any
 body who has ever thought that churches are not necessary to human happiness and civilization will now realize that
 most necessary of all institutions and it has taken the influenza scare to mako LIS appreciate how much we enjoyed church and the services to which we are accustomed to go The old adage, It's an ill wind that blows nobody good IS verified III the case or the lhllueHAaf
 for, in spite of it's terrific and appalling
 death toll, it certainly has brought us
 to realization of serious and impor- tant things in life. l believe l can safely
 say that everybody Twill rejoice when
 things are normal once more, and we can go back to church as usual, and there will probably be lots of people ! who will go to church who have not been regular attendants before

) RESIDENT WILSON'S eloquent
 appeals to the better element
 long the German people, liberals d socialists who have little more ve for the Kaiser than we have, and tive propaganda work which has cen going on for sometime have had
 far-reaching effect. It Is not gener-
 y known that our government has
 en conducting campaign on Ger
 an soil for the overthrow of the mih-
 rists. yet an enormous quantity of .mphlets have been distributed by
 rmen and in other ways, best known x4 the government, the German people have been given the truth.
 The war lords were successful ir
 aking the German people-a ma
 rity of them, at any rate-believe
 at Germany was fighting a defen- Eve war. As time went on and it was so longer possible to keep the civil Population in ignorance of the facts, The militarists found their own prop sganda work seriously hampered Their last resort was frcnzied appeal to fight to the last man, since the allies would not make peace on any other basis than the utter destruction pf Germany.
 President Wilson, with marvellous patience and we'll aware of conditions in Germany, has slowly but surely widened the breach between the lib. erals and the kaiserites. There is hope for the German people, there is none for the German government which brought on this war and Is re- sponsible for it's barbarities.
 We have never sought to destroy Germany as nation, but we are de- termined to make Germany decent ration and to remove the capacity for svil-doing inherent in military au- eocracy, of which William Hohenzol- aern is destined to be the last repre- entative.

Loan Campaign tt
 Close on Time


 T HE fourth Liberty Loan campaign
 S wills end tomorrow night, ac cording to the original schedule, whether the six billion-goal is reached or not. Only about four billion dol lars had been subscribed up to last night. It may be that subscriptions will pour in today and tomorrow at the rate of billion 9 day. It should be so, because the government needs every dollar of the vast sum sought.
 It had been suggested that in view of the influenza epidemic the cam paign might be extended a week. But Secretary McAdoo makes an em- Iphatic statement that sets that idea lat rest. The subscription books will lba closed Saturday at midnight and the hope is yet indulged in among treasury officials that the ioaftn Liberty Loan will go over the top.
 Birmingham has made a fine record, but people are urged to add to their subscriptions so as to make sure that Jefferson county's quota will be sub scribed. if not oversubscribed. It is especially urged that every person who has been listed as a bond buyer, but who has not validated his sub scription by the payment of ten per cent of the amount for which he IS pledged, give this matter attention to- Idav. Tomorrow would do, but the ac- counting department will be congested and the sooner the subscriptions are validated the better for everybody.
 The Sixth federal reserve district, which includes Birmingham, has been somewhat slow in the fourth Lib erty Loan canvass. Few details have been nublished. but it is said that Birm;ng- ham is the only city that is anything like 100 per cent.
 l Let's keep Birmingham in the lead and roll up a substantial oversubscrip- ltion. This county has a reputa- tion for splendid patriotic achieve lment. It must be sustained, and to that end let's make today red letter { day in Liberty Loan activities.

crops will satisfy the demand.
 Our soldiers will be kept in Europe for sometime to come; certainly for twelve montas, and probably much longer. America must feed them and feed the civilian population of devas- tated France and Belgium. Alabama will be called upon to do it's part in producing the nations surplus and it's efforts must not flag.
 The farmers of this section should prepare to SOW a larger acreage to winter wheat than ever before. In Alabama this years total yield of wheat winter and spring-is esti- mated by the extension service at h ,330, ,00o bushels The acreage should be greatly increased and the aim should be for three million -bushel crop in 1919.
 Intensive farming must be the rule from now on, regardless of war or other abnormal conditions. But above Iall, crop diversification must continue Ito be the practice.
 - Alabama has made strides in the
  breeding of live stock; but it must not stop until it leads in beef and dairy cattle and in hogs and poultry, Provi- dence permitting, the coming year should mark new high record in Ala bama's agricultural yield.
