 L. J. Adler of Mobile, president of the Alabama Commercial Travellers associa ton, was in Birmingham yesterday for conference with State Director Crawford Johnson with reference to the organiza- tion of the traveling men in Alabama for work in the War Savings campaign. He will return to Mobile today and tomorrow will open an office in that city, from which the travelling mems work will be directed. MT Adler will give his entire time to the campaign for a few weeks, and expects to have one of the best or ganizations ever formed m the field work ing for this cause.
 Booker Washington son of the founder of the Tuskegee institute, and himself forceful speaker, has been loaned to the War Savings committee for work among the colored people of Alabama. Wash ington is employed by the Julius Rosen- berg Foundation fund and his expenses during the campaign will be defrayed by that association. He is well liked by the white people of Alabama, as we'll as by his own people, and his activity here will no doubt arouse great interest among the colored people. He will be here with in few days and State Director Craw ford Johnson expects to start him on tour of the state at once. He will be in the state three months.
 Returns are not coming as fast as ex pected, but this is accounted for in part by the fact that in some of the counties rain prevented the big drive a week ago last Friday, and it had to be deferred un- til a later date. Requests are coming in daily from all parts of the state for pledge cards. which is taken at state headquarters an indication that the committees are still conducting an ac tive campaign.
 State Director Crawford Johnson stated yesterday that he Estimated that 250,000 people in Alabama had bought War Saw ings Bonds and Stamps, which would be about one person in every 10 of the states population.
 The allied armies will renew their drive tomorrow or Tuesday and during the week endeavor to see every person who has not already bought bonds. A great many who have bought will be urged to buy more in order that Alabama may take her place at the head of the states in War Savings purchases, as she is in many other respects.

SUGAR SHARING

There is shortage Of sugar;
there will be no sugar famine.
Manufacturers and the trade
are under rigid restrictions;
conservation Of sugar in the
household is an honor.
Supplies permit an allowance
for the household of two
pounds per month per person.
We cannot in honor compel
Europe to do with less while
we take more for ourselves.
Canning is good economy; sug-
ar for canning may be had on
certificates in the discretion of
each Federal Food Admins
traitor
Wherefore, as far as possible,
put up fruits and vegetables
without sugar; bottle juices
and pulps to be sweetened la
ter.
The success of this program
rests upon the honor and CO.
operation of the American
people.

The Rutland Herald, owned by P.
w. Clement, a candidate for governor
said Monday:
A man Ct. E. 'Howe) with a son in
the service of the United States, who
is himself a member of the Vermont
militia, who maintained a recruiting
office in Bennington at his own ex-
pense and who has taken direct and
personal interest in the recruiting Of
the First Vermont and other units of
the service, ought to be immune from
attack by a young man whose mill
tary record is at present represented
by zero.
Such an attack will react and is in
fact already reacting. 1t is hitting
below the belt, attacking man in a
fashion which makes it impossible for
him to protect himself. 1t is an at
tack in the last degree unethical, un-
kindly and unlike Vermont's fair-play
methods of -and-take.

Several years ago a state auditor
made questionable entries upon his
records. Whether made as an &C
commodation, because of laxness OF
with fraudulent intent is not yet de-
termined. Few people believe it was
the latter. The result is the drastic
action of a Republican state COM
mittee, the humiliation and possible
resignation of a popular and efficient
governor, the uneasiness of a bank
examiner and attorney general, the
entry Of third candidate into gov
ernorship campaign, a new state is
sue, the question of the election of a
certain town representative candi-

state, and a whole trail of minor

that the majority OF people consider
