COLLECTORS OF STAMPS ARE ID
 CONTINUE WORK

SSs ss~s Ssssv During the past winter the school children of Fairbanks worked very industriously collecting thousands of cancelled postage stamps, which were turned over to one of the teachers, Miss Daphne Moody, who had read in the Alumni Fortnightly of Berkeley, Calif., that the United States government at Washington desired same for the purpose of extracting the dye from them, and that the money derived from the sale of these to teh government would go to the support of French and Belgian orphans. Some time ago Miss Mody was informed that the government did not desire said stamps, therefore she wrote to the paper from which she obtained the first information, and received the following letters, which are self-ex- planatory:
 Office of the Secretary
 California Alumni Association
 IA California Hall
 Berkeley, Cal, May 8, 1918. Miss Daphne Moody,
 Box 896,
 Fairbanks, Alaska. My dear Miss Moody:
 "The statement made in the Alum nj Fortnightly regarding the collec- tion of cancelled stamps was a mis- take, as we subsequently learned. However, corrected statement of the situation, furnished us by the Belgian Consul of New York, is be- ing sent you with this letter
 'I hope this will clear the matter up for you.
 Sincerely yours,
 HI. c. BLOOD,
 Asst. Secretary
 "Consulat de BelgiQue
 "25 Madison Avenue
 New York
 New York, January 31, 1918. MT. Homer Havermale, Manager, California Alumni Association.
 TIA California Hall,
 Berkeley, Cal.
 Dear Sir:
 "I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of January 18th and to confirm the contents of the copy of my letter to the California Com. mittee for Relief in Belgium and France.
 We have been, for some time past, receiving great quantities of cancelled stamps from all over the United States and these have, in fact, been sent to the 'Asiles des Soldats Invalides Belges, a Belgian organization, in France, under the high patronage of impor- tant Belgian officials. There the stamps are probably sold to collect OTIS, to people who make fancy arti- cles such as trays, vases, etc, and with the proceeds of the sale of these stamps the organization pur- chases all sorts of little comforts and delicacies for wounded Belgian soldiers in France.
 "The statement issued in Califor- mia newspapers that the income from one thousand cancelled postage stamps will support Belgian baby for one month is not authorized by me and is improbable.
 You may readily see that this work is most worthy one and that any time and attention you may give to the collection of these can celled stamps will not be wasted. If you will kindly do so, you may send the packages containing these stamps to this office, from where they will go forward to Europe on our own boats. without further ex- pense to you.
 Thanking you in advance for any thing which you will do to help this most worthy cause, I am
 Every truly yours,
 (Signed) ,

Sung Again
rom the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He came into the office with a busi- ness like air that deceived the clerks and they let him walk right into the private room of he head of the firm. "l have here" he said, diving into capacious pocket. "a most valuable little book. It tells of the most lovely spots within 1o0-mile radius of Cleve- land, and how to get to them. It con- tains road maps, etc. It.
 It's no use to me" interrupted the boss, decisively. Strange as it may appear to you, do not own a car. I do not drive. I cannot use your book"
 And you think this worried the book agent? Think again. For the little book was all a bluff. and uhe pretended book agent was an auto mobile salesman. And he promptly took advantage of the best opening he had had in weeks.

Strand Offers Two of the Screens Sweetest Stars
 for Week

This is patriotic week at the Strand, ] for both of it's features have trend of patriotism, besides presenting the l two sweetest stars of the screen, Mary Pickford appearing the first half of the week in Johanna EnIists,s and Mar guerite Clark the latter part in Out of Clear Sky"
 Johanna Enlisss'' is clever come dy, the situations of which arise from the mobilization of troops in the Uni- ted States. Johanna is farmers whole regiment when Major Mapping tons troops decide to make camp on her farm She has three ardent suitors a private. lieutenant and captain, but we will leave It for the film to tell the identity of the man. The story was written by Rupert Hughes and directed by William Taylor who has since joined the United States army.
 A Pathe News completes the pro- gramme.
 Marguerite Clark in Out of Clear Sky" has never appeared in a more charming picture. where she is seen as petite, winsome and willful Belgian countess. who refuses to be converted into an immobile pawn of state. Mar shall Neilan, responsible for most of Mary Pickford's successes. directed "o0t of a Clear Sky" while ThoIuas Meighan is Miss Clark's leading man, and a hansome ono he makes. This is Miss Clark's first picture since her marriage to Lieut.. +, Palmerson Will Hams of New Orleans.
 As an added attraction for Thursday, Friday and Saturday the Strand has secured one of tho Sennett girl com edies. which are a joy on all occa- sions It is His Wife's Fiend" and presents the iniuitable Charles Mur- ray in role that is hard to beat The two week Pathe War News is also furnished.

An Economic Policy Needed
Charlton Bates strayer, in Leslie's.

Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslies. Having achieved military unity. America and the allies should work for economic unity. The whole matter was brought to the front again when Premier Lloyd George. in addressing the National Union of Manufacturers, advocated an economic league against Germany America was not party to the Paris conference which took this stand, and it Is now important that America and her allies should come into harmony on this point before talk ing their places about a peace con- ference table. Winston Churchill. Brit ish minister of munitions. has said
 that the first condition upon winch Germany can obtain peace is a decis-
 i've allied victory on the battlefield
 and that, In the second place, if Ger
 many is to he received again into the
 family Of nations her people must
 break with her present military mas
 ters. The latter conditions will have
 much to do, believe. with Germanys s
 econ omic future
 President Wilson. in replying to the
 pope in August. 1917. declared selfish
 and exclusive economic leagues to be
 "inexpedient and in the end worse
 than fufile. no proper basis for peace
 of any kind, least of all an enduring peace In his message to Congress. December 4. 1917. referring to the pos sibility of the German people after the war being under the same military masters. the President said .Tt might be possible. also. in such untoward cir cumstances. to admit Germany to tha free economic intercourse which must inevitably spring out of the other partnerships of a real peace" There will be sentimental boycott of Ger many for many years after the war. But what is to be the economic policy toward Germany which we shall pre- sume is defeated and thereafter dem ocratized?

 he is favored because of his experience In this line, he having been connected with the legislative branch before, There appears no doubt but that Walter F.

QUINCY SMITH WILL HAVE ENOUGH WORK FOR THREE HELPERS Two Birmingham Men Are Slated as Assistants to the
 Attorney General KILBY SILENT ON
 COMING OFFICIALS Ninth District Is Furnishing Real Sensation in Democratic Circles
 by Strength Thompson
 Is Showing
By WILLIAM l.. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, September 21-(SpeciaD Aiabama's new attorney general, who goes into office In January, 1919, will have one part of thes ystem started by Logan Martin, now an army officer, who resigned several months ago. At torney General Martin had unpleasant controversies with the governor re- garding the number of men employed by the state as attorneys general. Three assistants, it was claimed, caused a greater expenditure of money than the already depleted treasury could stand. Friends of the attorney general, how ever, thought three should be employed. But one fact has come from the scores of rumors the past week, and that is: Attorney General J. Q. Smith will have three assistants, one being Lawrence ID. Brown of Scottsporo, who served under Mir. Martin for many months.
 That there will be plenty of work for three assistants is not denied. Att torney General Lloyd Tate now has two assistants, and they are kept busy con- stantly, although their work is of minor nature because of few important opinions at this dull season
 TWO BIRMINGHAM MEN
 MT. Smith has not said so, but there seems to be no doubt but that the assistants will be Thomas J. Judge and Richard ". Evans of Birmingham, and MT. Brown. MT. Evans was candidate for the court of appeals, and was de- feated by w. H. Sanford of Montgome- cry. MT. Judge is a widely known law yer. MT. Brown is known all over the state, because of his connection with the attorney generals office before.
 The new attorney general is said not to have publicly announced he would name the three, but those in position to know are authority for the statement Increased burdens will soon come to the office. Important cases in which the state is interested must be protected in the next few months, and the new attorney general is said to be unwilling Tor these cases to go without every legal point being brought out. Friends of the new administration see in this plan renewal of activities that caused so much favorable mention of the of flee during MT. Martins days
 Alabama is In a most peculiar posi- tion politically. She finds herself un- able to "adjourn politics" There ap- pears about as much interest in politics in the states political center-Montgom- ery--as there was during the days prior to the primary election. Everybody stlll is guessing, and when the new administration comes in it probably will be found there were few correct re- ports of who this and that official will name to important positions"

SENSATIONS IN THE NINTH

Sensation after sensation has resulted since the bitter fight ended in the Ninth district There it appeared all so-called loyalists were lined up against George Huddleston for congress- But, with the opposition of President Wilson, three newspapers, patriotic organization and others MT Huddleston was reelected During the campaign it was charged he failed to support the administration.
 The republicans of the Ninth district conscripted J. O. Thompson, one of the most widely known men in the state, to oppose the congressman. Now Mir Thompson, who declares he has hundreds ot democrats on his campaign committee, is running as "Win7the-war candi- date. He has challenged so-called Hud- dleston friends at Bessemer., He says he will speak there any time he gets ready
 The sensation of the week came from the Ninth district. Emmett Jones, dem ocrat all his life, defeated candidate for con missioner of agriculture, has accepted what he terms the "honor of guiding the destiny of MT. Thompson in the Ninth. Montgomery is asking: How can dem ocrat support republican against the democratic nominee? Then the answer comes:
 Winning the war is more essential now than keeping pledge to support the nominee of any party
