WILL STILL BE OUR BOYS.

A great deal is heard these days
concerning what will happen when
our boys come home" There are
those who seem to stand in fearful
apprehension of what may happen
They are going to run the country
these boys-we are told. They are
not going to stand for this or that;
they are going to demand certain
things, we are assured by some
And nearly every one seems to think
that a great, strange army Of un-
sympathetic men is going to come
down upon us some day when the
war is over
But they will still be our boys. when
they return. Broadened in their
view point, it is true; wiser than the
rest of US; world citizens sturdy and
strong in mind and body, but still
our boys, and we shall have nothing
to fear
The son of the farmer, the son of
the lawyer and the doctor and the
preacher and the laborng man
they are going to come home, to the
home they left, and it IS unthinkable
that they will bring Il menace to
their land. Will you be afraid of
your HoY WHeN ne comes nome .
VIII you be afraid that instead of
taking up peaceful lines. and making
a living, he will become a wandering
outlaw IN the land Hardly. Why
that boy is writing to YOU now, tell
lng you how he longs to have this
thing over, so he can come back home
and 20 to work and live comfortably
and peacefully in the community
where he is acquainted.
When these boys come home they
will have GREAT deal to say about
the running of the government. of
course; indeed they are going to run
the government, just as they are go-
inc to run the business of the eoun-
try. They are going to do SO because
they are the best fitted The most
successful merchants and bankers and
editors and teachers of ten years
hence. are today wearing khaki The
governors and presidents of the next
quarter Of century and more are
IN the army today The public
spirited men Of the future are fight
ing it out somewhere on this
troubled sphere the great phlan-
thropists, the great leaders in
thought. the great engineers of the
next forty years they are all in uni
form today They are all our
boys Who are coming home-om

When the American people locked

A Big Saving.
These figures were revealed in a
Treasury statement, issued recently
appealing TO the American public to
turn its savings from abstinence into
War Savings Stamps or set them aside
fer investment in Liberty Bonds. The
Treasury statement reminded the pub
lie that these savings which are being
effected are of no value to the govern
ment in its prosecution of the war
unless they are made available for
its use
The Fuel Administration reported
that the saving of gasoline on the sec
ond gasless Sunday amounted to
100000 gallons. which. valued at 20
cents gallon. meant saving to
American pocketbooks of S1.250,000.
In transportation alone this meant a
saving of 625 tank cars for an average
haul Of 200 miles.
The rubber saved by giving tires a
days rest would b sufficient to equip
$500 motor trucks for the American
army with tires capable of running

Coal Production Shows
 Increase for Week
Demand for Coal Now Far Exceeds Supply, Even Under the
 Zone System

Coal production in the Birmingham dis trict during the week which ended May IS showed a slight increase over the preceding week, according to reports re- ceived at the local office of the United States fuel administration in the First National Bank building. However. the output still is far below what it should be.
 In adopting the zone system a few weeks ago the fuel administration cut off part of the territory in Arkansas and Tennessee formerly supplied by Ala bama coal mines, but in spite of this curtailment the demand now far exceeds the supply. The present output would just about satisfy the normal needs of the territory dependent upon Alabama mines, but with the speeding up of many industrial establishments engaged on government work. the building of the nitrate plants at Sheffield, the steel and shipbuilding plants at Fairfield and Mo- bile, the greater consumption by rail- roads and old industries has created q demand that would tax the capacity of the mines now in operation even were they able to run on full time.
 In fact the labor situation presents the greatest difficulty Sometime ago large numbers of coal miners left Ala bama, going to Illinois. Kentucky and othex coal districts, where better wages and better living conditions were prom ised The recent action of the govern ment in permitting an advance of 45 cents a ton in the price of coal, with corresponding increase in wages. it is believed, will result in many former Ala bama miners returning to this district. where climatic conditions are better suit ed to them. With their return the present labor shortage would be relieved to some extent, at least.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 2S.-Liverpool was again lower than expected this morn ing and our market opened lower and sold off rather easily on fresh press ure, which appeared to come in some measure from trade houses and in some measure from western liquidation. We think there was rather better de- mand again from the trade on the scale down. but in the early after noon it was not in sufficient volume to hold prices. Weather conditions continued good. and we hear of no marked change in the export situa- tion, with the result that the local feeling has become quite discouraged as to any immediate change in mar ket conditions. On the other hand the market is getting down to point where it would be unusually suscep- tible to a change in the weather, par ticularly as the general feeling is just at present to anticipate very favor- able condition report from the govern ment

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 23--While there was much bear pressure in cotton today, the market was electrified toward the close by sudden and heavy bidding tor May, the outgoing spot month. With only one day more to run, belated shorts started to cover ad sent the price up to 225 points on themselves in a few min utes tune. This was one of the widest advances ever scored in the contract market and, moreover an unique sit uation was brought about by the fact that while May was up, all other months were down. May sold up to T.75, as against 25.50c on the close yesterday, and the close was at the highest quotation. Theclaim on the bull side was that the action of the May position vindicated the refusal to lower spot quotations in wide way in this market. Spot prices were reduced 9 points today, but even at the reduction middling stood at 2S.77c, cent q pound over the highest price for May. January at it's best sold at 23.74c.
 There was no activity in May until to- ward the close. In the early trading the market was lower and the decline was constantly widened until. in the early afternoon, tine trading months were 54 to 64 points under yesterdays close. Warm and dry weather over the belt and ex
 pectations of high condition figures were the mair surface reasons for the selling. Further reductions in spot prices at points in the belt and the growth of bear ish sentiment were additional reasons. The strength of May caused the mar ket to be toned very steady on the close. The net change for the day outside or May was a loss of 1S to 2l points.

COTTON AGAIN HTS
 TOBOGGAN SLIDE
July Sold $53.S5 Per Bale Under the High Figures
 of April

New York, May 23.-There was a renew cotton market today and a further sharp break i2 prices with July contracts sell ing off 6 points under last nights close and S53S5 per bale under the high rec ords of last month. Rather sharp rallies followed and the general list was stady at net decline of IS to 36 points.
 The market opened irregular at a de- cline of 24 points to an advance of ls points and quickly weakened under weak cables, q favorable weather map and talk delivery on July contracts. Some old long lines were believed to be coming on the market at the declines, and there was little support until active months had soli about 47 to 60 points net lower.
 Rallies of 20 or 30 points followed on covering, but the market weakened again under renewed liquidation, with October selling off to 22.51c and Decem- Der to = 44c and the general list show ing net losses of about 50 to 6o points. At this .evel, however. the selling move ment seemed to have pretty we'll run it's course. and last prices showed rallies or 20 to 39 points from the lowest on cover ing
 The strength of May in New Orleans and a firmer turn in the stock market were factors on the late bulge. There were rumors during the morning that the cotton sold here at auction yesterday would be promptly shipped out, leaving warehouses available for shipments or low grade cottons from the south.
