Great Drive to
 Bring Big Results

6THIS is the day of the great War 0 Savings drive throughout the United States and the results will
 doubtless meet expectations. Alabama is sure to make fine showing. Reports from the rural school centers are particularly grati- flying. A meeting has been planned for each district, and as enthusiasm runs high the total of War Savings
 pledges should go we'll over the top. As the War Savings campaign is to continue to the end of the year, the canvassing organizations will not only be kept up, but large sales of Baby Bonds will be made right along. The drive has aroused the people in every state, and as an educator of the masses it's value cannot be overesti- mated. The government needs the money and every patriotic soul will
 gladly invest in the War Savings se- Icurities as one of the ways of hasten ing victory.
 Here in Jefferson county all atten- tion is naturally focused on today's
 drive. Those of you who have invested |liberally in Savings Stamps are urged
 to buy more. Buy all you can" is a
 good slogan and it should be upper
 most in the minds of the people until
 the day ends.
 Birmingham has never yet failed to do more than was asked in raising funds for the prosecution of the war or for the Red Cross or other noble
 causes. If the entire community Is
 on its proverbial mettle Birmingham
 will score another proud achievement.
 But let's take nothing for granted. earnest work-is
 in order and is urged.

Plant or Feed the
 Cowpea Seed Surplus

THE United States department of H agriculture is urging the farmers to plant >or feed the large surplus supply of cowpea seed in order to save it from the ravages of weevils. Several varieties with col |ored seed, ordinarily not used for table food, will produce hay of ex-
 cellent quality, and these seed are highly desirable for stock feed. They Iare rich in protein.
 The department stresses the inn
 portance of prompt action on the part of the farmer, for the damage from the weevils is likely to be seriously felt. The south especially is urged to further increase it's cowpea acre age this year.
 Heretofore the southern states have purchased large quantities of hay from the north and west, but this
 year they should grow the entire sup ply of hay they will need, and they can easily do it if the cowpea is ex- tensively planted.
 As for Alabama, it is taking the lead in crop diversification, and as a result it's hay production is a record breaker. But it should heed the de- Ipartment's advice and plant more cow peas. By so doing this state will have all the more hay to sell, after supply ling it's own need.
 Cowpea seed, when ground, makes valuable stock feed. The department calls attention to the fact that the demonstrations of the Alabama ex- pertinent station have clearly shown that cowpeas are practically equal to
 corn in. feeding value for fattening pigs. However" the department says, "a mixture of corn and cowpeas
 in equal parts is far more satisfactory than either fed alone"
 The progressive agricultural serv- ice of the government in cooperation
 with the agricultural schools has
 been of incalculable worth to the
 country, but no section has been quite
 so much benefited as the south. Time was when the progressive farmer was

fected our daily lives and our pocket books-moved some of us to a realiza- tion of what was coming, but most of us remained light of heart and careless about the future.
 Even when we first began to stand on the sidewalks and watch bodies of troops march past, admiring their brisk military bearing and their sturdy air, we felt somehow that these boys would not be killed-that the war would be over, perhaps, before they were called on to give up their lives, in the trenches of France and in charges across "No Mans Land"
 But at last the casualty lists began to come from across the Atlantic. The names of friends and acquaintances with increasing frequency. Our soldiers were fighting with a vengeance, and necessarily paying the price. Fortunately the lists so far have not been long, considering the achievements of our troops, but they have become feature of American newspapers and they are scanned by of anxious eyes every day.

PLIGHT OF HOTEL MEN

New York Correspondence, Pittsburg Dispatch.
 It is figured by the hotel men that hotels and restaurants will lose about 5000 walters, 5000 porters and 2ooo bellboys under the provisions of the work or fight order issued by the provost marshal, effective July 1. This has impelled some of the hotel man agers to start a movement to ask the fgovernment to suspend the contract labor law so that Chinese labor might be brought in to man the hotels. The scarcity of labor in the larger hotels, it is said, is growing and unless some thing is done immediately the industry
 will suffer greatly and some hotels will
 have to close their doors completely.
 Women are being employed in the lighter work about the lobby. in the
 basement and in the elevators. But
 there are heavier posts that will have
 the women. Tt is evident said Cope b1and Townsend of the Majestic hotel
 yesterday. that New York hotels must
 have nearly all women employees, and
 unfortunately women cannot carry heavy trays or do the work Of bus boys or hall boys Some means must be pro-
 vided and the only feasible scheme that
 we know of now is the suspension of
 the labor law so we may use Chinese
 for the duration of the war. If this is not done many of our lareest hotels
 are going to be without help"

* # # Kerensky to Visit the United States

6NHE announcement that Kerensky N will come to America after visit ing France has revived interest in the personality and aims of Russia's for mer dictator. His appearance in Lon don, after many conflicting stories had been told of his whereabouts, seems to have been totally unexpected, save by the British government which issued his passport.
 Kerensky may be of real service in expediting the aid which the allied governments, and America in particu- lar, are ready to give Russia, if some practicable plan can be devised to pre- vent her from being enslaved by Ger many. That is ostensibly the object Kerensky has in visiting Great Britain, France and America. We ought to help Russia-she deserves
 
 much at the hands of all the allies, and America has always been friendly. The question that proves most baffling concerns ways and means which will not make bad situation worse.
 It will also be worth while for us to ! II, | r is-whether he is a man of destiny or a weakling temporarily elevated to power.

 The entire state is pushing onward and upward along many Ines-aside from it's citrus and truck farming activities. the progressive farmers are cultivating cotton extensively; they are also respond ing to the call of the government in cultivsti ting, on large scale, the oastor oil plant.
 The government has established a s2,OO0.OoO castor oil plant at Gainesville, which will convert the castor bean into lubricating oil for military airplanes. The mill will handle the entire castor bean crop east of the Mississippi river. The establishment of such a plant in Florida means another permanent industry for the south as it will provide fine grade of fertilizer. In addition to'the oil, castor oil cake, one of the best ammonia sources. will be made, providing thousands of tons of commercial fertilizer
