Faithful Service

T cannot understand how any girl could fail to serve in the booths or do anything else on earth she is asked to do for the war" said Miss Vera Merle Basemore, who has been one Of the faithful young women in charge of the booths for the War Savings Stamps.
 T have not missed day since the booths were placed. I am little worn out but certainly no more tired than my brothers who are in the serv- ice and my many friends are over there
 No, indeed, I shall not give up. don't believe there is a girl in Bir- mfngham who would not be glad of the opportunity to serve The only trouble is that sometimes our girls do not realize how much it really means to the cause and they think it is a small thing we are doing. It didn't seem small thing to me for the Bir- 'nlngham girls with their own efforts lo turn over more than s100,0OO in two weeks That money will buy lot of things for our men"

pAYLIGHT.sAYING PLAN.

The daylight-saving plan works sat
isfactory and unsatisfactory with
farmers. Some think this Federal
law was passed to make city people
who are lazy get up early to 20 to
work andget off early to rest. The
farmer has always been an early ris-
er, s~A the daylight-saving breaks
some his customs. He has to stop
in the late forenoon, which is cool, to
20 out in the early afternoon, which
Is warm, to his fields, whereas on the
old standard time he and his animals
did not suffer from the hottest part
of the day In the fall the new law
will change his moving and harvest
ing hours, making it almost midday
when he starts his machines. One
result has been attained in the ex-
treme end of northeast of the county
is the breaking up Of the quitting
time by passing railroad trains at IL
A. M. and p. NJ. The head has
shortened and the tail heightened the

ORDER YoUR coal NOW.

The Fuel Administration has set
apart the week of June srd to 8th as
Goal Week" during which time they
wish to make a special drive to insist
that people order their coal for next
winter. With the bulk Of the years
supply of coal ordered in advance, the
various distributing agencies of the
government will be in position to equi-
tably and adjust the demands of the
different communities. While, as a
matter of course,all requirements can
not be filled within few months, yet
orders which are on the books of the
dealers now will be given preference
over those filed later. Therefore, all
users Of coal are urged to file teir
orders with their local dealers with
out delay, This is final notice local
ly, and those who fail to place their
orders promptly viii probably be de-
MED coal during the coming winter.
