Like the roll call in college. like the honor mark in a school, these cards proved to be the most wonderful asset toward making real soldiers out of those men, who prior to the issuing of them, had been want to commit all kind Of petty and serious breaches of discipline. The men came to see clearly that it was an honor of the highest sort to receive one of these cards from the command ing general, and immediately the change in their attitude was noticeable until today the discipline and character of the men in the Twenty-ninth division is second to none in any camp in the United States. General Morton is to be highly commended for the system he has inau- gurated and the people of New Jersey. Maryland Virginia and Washington, D. C., who have sons or brothers or sweet hearts in the Twenty y-ninth di- vision can feel satisfied that their men whc have been trained in the Twenty ninth division, under the supervision of General Morton, are as fine soldiers as any in the United States army.
 The general has been ably assisted by the officers of the division, both at headquarters and in the regiments. One os the hardest and most persistent work CTS to bring about good results has been Maj. J. A. Ulio. division adjutant, and former aide to General Morton. The of ficial insignia used on the new commen- dation card was designed by Major Ulo being patterned after the style of the Korean good luck piece Just as soon as man in any regiment demonstrates to his comma nding officer that he has become an efficient soldier. imbued with the spirit of T will do the right thing" he is given one of these cards. signed by the commanding general The owner of one of the new commendation cards can we'll be proud of possessing it. It means to him the same as a diploma would received in college, and when the present war is thing of the past he can show it with pride to his friends That the men are striving for these cards is evident from the improvement which is noticeable every day in their gen. eral bearing and strict attention to ev- erythng military

By FRED H. GoRMLEy

Montgomery, January sa.-(Special) With four candidates for governor who are opposed to the prohibition amendment and only one candidate who favors the ratification of Che amendment, the call went throughout Als sbama Tuesday for meeting in Montgomery Thursday of all persons opposed to the amendment. An effort will be made to settle differences and to center strength in support or one candidate K. D. Smith of Birmingham. national committeeman from Alabama, is back of the movement and has Is sued the call for the meeting
 Supporters of John II. Wallace, IT,, who has announced that he has no in- tention of getting out of the raee, Tuesday stated that they would at tend the meeting but that they would resist any movement to bring out an other candidate.
 Mir. Wallace declared that he would not attend My friends will take those who called the meeting at their word and will be present toy aid in forming an organization for a campaign against the amendment" said Mr. Wallace. He de- cliued to say whether or not he believed the movement was started in the inter- est of any candidate.
 Charles B. Teasley, the other Mont gemery candidate, who is opposed to the ratification of the amendment, was not in the city and his views on the meeting could not be obtained. William W. Brandon, it is known. will refuse to take part in any meeting which has for it's purpose the bringing out of an- other candidate.
 Friends of Thomas E. Kilby, who fa- yors the ratification of the amendment were gratified at reports which reached them during the day. One was that the efforts of anti-amendists to center on one candidate was doomed to failure, that Mir Wallace and Mir. Brandon will decline to consider retiring in favor Of any candidate and that the entrance Of Judge John Purifoy, who will also op- pose the amendment, will lend much to MT. Kilbys strength.
 As matters now stand Mir kilby has the votes of all persons who favor the of the amendment, while the votes of those opposed to the amendment must be divided between MT. Wallace MT. Brandon, Mir. Teasley and MT. Puri- foy.

.KENNEDY'S KICK IS
 CREATING STIR IN
 HIS HOME TOWN
Fuel Administrator Does Not Stop to Think That Garfield's Order Must
 Have Fixed Date

Anniston, January %. = (Special) The very emphatic position taken by sam P. Kennedy. fuel administrator for Alabama, in opposition to the views promulgated by other administrators. if not the chief administrator himself, and his effort to align the fuel admin istrators of Tennessee Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida with him in an insurrectionist movement has created somewhat of stir locally. In tele- gram to the administrators of the states mentioned, Mir Kennedy says
 My iterpretation of Dr, Gar6eld's order of the 17th was that it was pri- marily, and I may say solely for the conservation of fuels Holding this view, it was my understanding that such stores or business houses as desired to do business without the use of fuel on Mondays would be permitted to do so. did not understand that it was the intent of this order to restrict the trade of the country.
 Long before the 18th of March q great part of the southern country will be sufficiently warm, at times at least, to have no need for fuel; and with these conditions existing I fail to un, derstand wherein any beneficial re- suits would obtain from the closing of stores. I also fail to understand why drug stores being allowed to use fuel and remain open will serve any good purpose by restricting it's sales wholly to drugs the same amount of fuel being used to sell drugs as would be used to sell additional commodities. Furthermore, 1 can see no good pur- pose for the closing of industries that are operating on hydro-electr1c power.'
 Mir. Kennedy makes the point that hydro-electric power is being wasted unless it is used, and he calls on the administrators in the other states named to join him in a protest along this line, as we'll as others mentioned

Correspondents Headquarters, Camp Me Clellan. Anniston. January 29.-tspeclah) With the absolute necessity for making every man in the Twenty ninth division thoroughly efficient, disciplinary meas urea of the strictest kind have been put into effect by Commanding Gen. Charles D. Morton, with the sole idea on ms part of making the men ready at the earliest possible moment for the time that is approaching when they Will be called upon to face powerful enemy which is thoroughly versed in all the arts of modern warfare.
 With one hand General Morton is im- pressing npon the men of his command the vital necessity for cooperation and the obeying of every order issued to the latter, while at the same time he is tempering the strict discipline with a fairness to each individual man un- der q system that is probably not found in any ether camp in the United States.
 Shortly after General Mortons return from lover there" where he had gone to study existing conditions, he inau- gurated a system of delinquency cards, which were used to keep record of every man who committed any breach of discipline The mans name com pany, regiment and a record of his of fense was recorded on these cards and punishment meted out according to the seriousness oe the breach of discipline The system worked as the general flg ured it would work. Slowly but surely the men came to understand that to have their name appear on one Of these cards was a disgrace. The hard boiled rookie became soft boiled and fewer and fewer of the delinquency cards were used. AS the need of these cards de- creased the general established another system Of cards called commendation cards. These cards were printed as follows:
 I have read with much pride the report of ......,. regarding .......... and have ordered your name and .......... inscribed in the record book kept for this pur- pose at these headquarters. Signed Gen. Charles G. Morton.

The President has issued proclamation on food con- servation which published in the daily papers, Clip it out and post it up in your pantry and your kitchen It is your chart.
 In this proclamation the President tells that the maintenance of the health of people IS vtaly necessary at this tme and there should be dangerous restriction of the food supply but that the elimination of every sort of waste and the substitution of other modities of which we have more abundant supply for those which need to will in no way impair the strength of people and will enable us to meet one of the most pressing obligations of the war
 The Wholesale Grocers of Birmingham are thoroughly in line with the President in this matter For long time we have been mpressng upon our customers the para mount necessity for strict obedience to the requirements of the food administration; and recently we have been using space in the daily papers in which to caution the public against food waste and to offer helpful questions in the variation of diet to reduce the sumption of those foodsfs which most needed by our armies and our allies.
 The purpose of this article however is not to fectate osef upon what we have done along this line but to call attention to the fact that in this proclamation the President puts all of Ion honor He calls upon every loyal American to take to heart the suggestions crcu lated by the food administration, and says he is conf- dent that the body of WOmen who have labored so oyay with the food administration for the success of food conservation will strengthen their efforts.
 The spirit of Amera finds magnificent expression in this proclamation of the President It is appeal to our oftiest sentiments not threat directed at selfish in stncts The President does intimate that if we are not obedient to food control the will be logically forced to resort to fot cards He simply says T leave it to your patriotism"
 If we are obedient to this appeal shall say to the world Americans do not have to be forced to do the rght-they do it spontaneously cheerfully" and the moral effect upon our allies and ourselves will be incalculable
 Let us remember every minute of tic a and in every transaction that we are Ion honor' to sAln ths war 'holesale Grocers' AssocIation
