 Cheering Surrounding at Camps
 Many young soldiers, fresh from home, suffer from homesickness, no matter now army officers may try to make their surroundings pleasant and comfortable and provide proper amusements. Extraordinary meas ures have been taken by the war de- partment during the past year to keep the young soldier actively en- gagged while in camp with sports, amusements, and comforts that a wholesome psychology might be sus- tained. Still, a type of soldier will yearn for home and fall into a brood ing mood. It is obvious how harmful to him and to the service a discon- tented letter from home might be.

The constitution of the United States provides for both our political and our war procedures. It is very safe and sane state paper. Let us abide by it. In all the wars which we have had there has been no sugges- tion that we abandon elections. They should have no bearing on the war.

Alabama forward in a marked de- gree and enthusiasm along this line was never so great as it is today.
 The fair association is doing won derful educative work. This years exhibition will be more than ever an and no farmer can afford to stay away.
 And the civic and social side of the fair has always been of distinct in terest. It is rallying place for the whole state, and as the amusement features as we'll as the educational attractions, are to be more numerous and varied this year than ever, there is promise of record breaking at tendance
 Out-of-town visitors will come by and every man, woman and child in Birmingham and it's environs should spend at least one day at the fair.

Canary for Prisoner

'T was never quite so happy as was this morning when my phone rang, saying that I could have bird Tor the poor young fellow who is in the county jail," said Mrs. A. c. Kinzer
 Yesterday I asked Mrs Ryall to aid me in securing a canary for poor unfortunate boy now in the jail await ing new trial, and she kindly put a little story in The Age-Herald, which you see appealed to some good women and now we have the bird and also the |cage.
 Mrs. A. R. Robinson phoned me that she had raised seven and was only too glad to be able to give one to cheer this boy in his dark and gloomy cell, and Mrs. S. Webb will furnish the cage and we are going over in Mrs. Robinsons car to let her see the pleasure the boy will have in receiving the little singer and that she, too may share the pleasure of seeing him with it.
 Ut just shows what a bit of sum- light we each could give by thinking of others and today I am just so happy as the little item in your paper, you see, has helped me as well as the young prisoner.

 A curious footnote to history is found
 in simon Wolfs recently published President I Have Known" Mir. Wolf, a Washington lawyer, a loyal unionist and a friend of President Lincoln, was yet also acquainted with John Wilkes Booth and resembled him in appearance. He says concerning the assassination of Lincoln: After the tragedy I was compelled to stay in my house until after Booths capture. for unfortunately resembled him very much in feature -so much so that Theodore Kaufman. the historical painter. asked me to sit for him in his famous painting of "The Assassination of President Lincoln"

States Quotas Will s,.: K
 Be Fully Subscribed

lGOR this Fourth Liberty Loan of 4 six billion dollars Alabama's quota is more than double that of the Third Liberty loan-thirty- -one million dollars as against fourteen million two hundred and forty-nine thousand dollars; but it is safe to assume that it will be fully subscribed.
 The allotment for the Birming- lam zone, comprising ten counties, is ten million two hundred and ninety three dollars against four million three hundred and ninety thousand for the Third Loan
 Jefferson county's quota for the Third Loan was not quite four million dollars but we subscribed seven million eight hundred and seventy-two thou sand dollars. The county's quota this time is nine million two hundred and Ieighty-ninc thousand. This large amoInt will not only be subscribed but oversubscribed.
 The fact that the Alabama quotas have been relatively increased is recognition of the readiness of the people to invest in Uncle Sam's securi- ties for the winning of the war and "a tribute to this states patriotic soli- |darity and its abounding prosperity.
 As for Birmingham it delights in going over the top, and it will not fail of a high record achievement this time. The drive will be- the most in- tensive yet undertaken. The local organization is perfect and every cor poration and every individual of large means and small will respond to the governments appeal literally and with alaclity.
 The campaign is to last three weeks but 1t should cause no surprise if Jeff. ferson county reaches the goal in two weeks time and rounds out ten or eleven millions by the end of the third week.

x x x Clothes Are Needed for Belgian People

TN days gone by we were asked to O help feed the starving Belgians. That problem was solved to the ever lasting glory of America. No chap ter in the history of a cataclysm which bathes the world in blood stands more impressively to the credit of this nation than the whole hearted way in which, under the di- rection of skilled American business men, led by Herbert Hoover, the American people assumed the task of feeding the Belgian people-and car ried it through to success against every obstacle that the German gov ernment could put in their way.
 But if the food problem has been solved, the question of clothes for the coming winter is squarely up to us. Patriotic women in Birmingham are toiling night and day getting bundles of warm clothing ready for shipment abroad There is need to conserve clothes, yet there are many people with garments hanging in closets which they will never wear again and for which they have no use
 Clothes for Belgian children and old men and women, for Belgians of all ages and sizes, constitute one of the crying needs of the hour. Give something and feel thrice repaid by sense of having done good deed.

Work of Commission
 On Race Questions

V1T7HE university commission on
 Southern Race Questions" has done beneficent work Race problems have been discussed by many north ern publists and philanthropists from a false angle. Inherited prejudices against the old slave states have in- formed the minds of those who pre- tended to think that the negro received scant encouragement to say nothing of mistreatment from the white race of this section.
 No little mischief has been done by the meddling of certain class of northern politicians and so called "uplifters," whose knowledge of the negro was never gained at first hand, and whose friendship for the race was far from sincere.
 The negro's best friends are found right here in the south. While it is true that the mob spirit is often in evidence in some of the southern states, just as it is in the north, lead ing southern educators and great em- ployers in the industrial districts in dividual and corporate-are manifest ing not only friendly interest in the negro but are seeking all the while to promote the welfare of the race.
 Public schools for negroes are sup ported by money raised chiefly from taxes paid by white property owners. The relations between the two races are unquestionably more harmonious today than ever before, and no one better than the right minded negro leader that the destiny of his race is not in social equality, but In developing habits of thrift and moral qualities that will make for so- cial betterment and spiritual progress within their proper spheres.
 Any injustice to the negro or any unkind treatment is deprecated by every educator and every worth while citizen In this connection it is of animating interest to study the 'min- utes of the university commission" covering period of five or six years, just now published. The commission was composed of Il distinguished cd ucators, including Prof. James J. Dos ter of the University of Alabama.

Interest Manifested In the State Fair

W1DEsPREAD I'..s interest is be be
 w ing manifested in Bir- mingham's State Fair, which opens a week from next Monday. As the fair association is offering bonuses to all exhibitors who have their displays on the grounds 24 hours ahead of the opening date, it is expected that ex- hibits will arrive in large numbers during the early part of the coming week. Many race horses are here already.
 Owing to congested railroad condi- tions farmers and others should begin now to load their exhibits on the cars and start them on the way. Better have them installed several days ahead of time than run the risk of be- ing day late.
 Important improvements have been made on the buildings and the exhibit space in several departments has been enlarged. This is notably so in the live stock department. As extensive as the cattle and hog exhibits were last year, they will be far more ex- tensive next month.
 This is time of progressive farm ing. Crop diversification has brought
