Peddler Whipped and Made
 To Kiss Flag at Bessie
White Men Are Given Warning for Alleged Dsloya State ments and Obstructing Liberty Bond Sale-Peddlar
 Said Germany Would Begiumze America

the job was completed the victim was sorry looking spectacle. With trous- CTS split he reached for his two heavy grips containing his patent medicines .'Do you want to take just one grir now and come back later for the oth- err" someone in the crowd asked
 ''No. I want to take them both right now" was the reply
 Feeling has been very high at Bes- sic recently A mass meeting of citt- zens was held at the Masonic hall Fri. day night at which time it was de- cided to stop pro-German talk in the camp. Housing speeches were made and the men got busy early yester- day morning.
 They first visited the homes of
 three men in the camp-J. M.
 Brown. F. I. Tucker nnd Marvin
 Finley. Each man was called out
 in turn md brought to task for
 making disIoyal utterances. Each
 was made to fly fns over his
 Liberty Bond.
 "If there Is any more of this
 talk we will string you up," each
 was told.
 These men were charged with
 talking against the government
 and trying to discourage the salc
 of Liberty Bonds.
 The handling of the Holzclaw cast was set for o'clock in the afternoon His acts are said to have been esps' cially aggravated. As peddler he wis tied the camp twice a week and i. said to have been especially active among the negroes He told them tha Germany was sure to win the war that America would finally be takeI over by Germany just as Belgium, ant that it was foolish for anyone to joiI the army.
 The citizens of this particular com munity, however, believe they will no be troubled with him further. The, state. however, that they are prepared to deal with any future cases tha arise.

Never has a movement been started under such suspicious circumstances as the one inaugurated for the purpose of
 meeting the terms of the agreement be-
 tween the two boards of directors of the
 two Methodist institutions, for it was announced that in view of the fact that all money received on the s10O,o00 to be raised to bring Southern university to Birmingham would be invested in Lib erty Bonds as fast as the cash was re- ceived. This created great enthusiasm, for it resolved itself into proposition to help Birmingham's record in the Lib- erty Loan campaign, and committee was named to sees Chairmen Coffin and Jackson of the Jefferson county Birming- ham zone campaigns and get their ap- proval of the movement.
 MUST BE RAISED
 Over sl500 was subscribed at the meet ing in Liberty Bonds last night as a starter for the movement, and it was announced that Liberty Bonds would be taken as cash in the movement. Bir- mingham must raise the S100,0OO prom ised by June l, in order to have South ern university brought to Birmingham. The trustees of Southern university be- lieve that Birmingham will do this, for they have tentatively elected presi-
 dent with this idea in view. The two conferences of the Methodist church in Alabama are harmonious on the point. and it seems to be settled, but BirminS- ham has no time to spare, for this money must be raised now, in order that the two institutions may start the ScholaS- tic year at Birmingham college this fall. If the war continues, the college must be used to give the men university training, and if it comes to an abrupt end. then all the more will be the need for such an institution. Every man in terested in the movement feels that ne lis a Liberty Bond salesman, as every penny received for the fund will be m vested in Liberty Bonds.
 The committee in charge or raising this fund will begin their activities Mon day, and on Tuesday they will nave a luncheon at the Southern club and each day thereafter, hearing reports or the various teams and their captains en- raped in the educational war measure,

Food May Be Saved by Close
Watch of Weather Forecasts

Immense losses of food products, oc-
casiOned by freezing and other injuri-
Gus weather conditions, occur annually
that may, with proper precautions, be
avoided. This is especially true of
shipments by rail during the winter
season. The weather bureau issues
forecasts daily, and special warnings
as occasion demands, giving informa-
ton of expected weather conditions. in
cluding frOsts. cold waves, high winds
and Leavy rains or snow. During the
winter season, officials In charge. of
nearly all weather bureau stations is
sue daily what are known as "Ship-
pers' Forecasts" giving the minimum
temperature expected to Occure within
a shipping radius Of from "a to SO
hours from the station. These fore
casts are published on postal cards.
Careful watch OF forecasts and
warnings will often enable shippers to
avoid losses, either by expediting or
delaying shipments or taking extra pre-
cautions to protect goods from injury.
No shipment of considerable length
should be made without first ascertain
ing the expected conditions over the
route. The occasion demands the ut
most care to prevent losses of food not
only as matter Of self-interest but as
a patriotic duty.

The First RomanoH.

RomanOff is the name of the Rus
sian imperial dynasty regnant in the
male line from 1913 to 173C, and
thenceforward in the female line. Con-
slant intermarriages with German
princely houses, however, have made
the ROmanoff strain of today more
German than Russian. Nay; the old
est ancestor of the house of Roman
off. Andrew KObyla, is said to have
come to Moscow from Prussia Q34D.
The name ROmanOff was given to the
family by the boyar Roman Yurie-
witch, the fifth of direct descent from
Andrew, who succeeded in getting a
female member of his family on the
throne of the cZars by marrying his
daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In
February, 1913, Mikhael Feodorvitch
ROmanOff, boy of seventeen, was pro-
claimed czar, grand duke and autocrat
Of all the Russias in the Red square
of Moscow. With this accession to
the throne Of the famous, or rather I'LL
famed, dynasty began a 304 years
misrule that-let us hope-has ended
forever with the forced abdication OF
Gar Nicholas, in March, 1917.

President Approves the
Timely Injunction Sent
BY RedfieId to Chiefs

President Wilson has set the stamp
Of his approval upon a timely injunc-
tion addressed by Secretary Redfield
to his bureau chiefs. 1t is to be cir
culated, posted up, and made a guild
ing rule in the transaction of all war
business. 1t should be a golden rule,
a precept always to be needed:
Forget how things were done be-
fore the war; eliminate red tape,
We must learn with Germans that the
war won't watt Delay is the kaiser's
ally"
Heads Of department bureaus are
not alone insisting upon doing things
this year as they did them last year
and the year before that. The "busi-
ness as usual" pleasure as usual"
and my own interests first" advocates
are just as guilty as the tape-bound
bureau chiefs. All such are playing
Germany's game of delay.
1t is the business of each individual
to bestir himself to help win the war.
1t is the business of all to realize that
everything is changed, that nothing can
be done this year as it was last.
We must do the things the war de-
mands, and do them now.

RAISE MISCHIEF WITH WIRES
Remarkable Effect Of Aurora BoreaIIs
on the Telegraph Wires Of
the Country.

When the aurora borealis, or north
ern lights" pay US a visit there is
trouble on all the telegraph and tele-
phone lines. The reason for this
seems to be that the aurora borealis,
which is really an unusual electric
emanadon from the sun, sets up alb
normal earth currents. The strength
Of these currents has been measured
many times and found to have q poten-
tial varying between 425 volts positive
and 225 volts negative and a resist
ance of about 1000 Ohms.
Donald McNicol, assistant electrical
engineer of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, who has given much study to
this subject, made an official report in
1892, quoted in the Electrical Expert
menter, in which he described the eff
fects Of earth currents on the ten At
tantic cables then in existence. Most
affected was that from Brest to Mique.
Ion island, and the disturbances were
greater at the western than at the
eastern end, so that often st. Pierre
could send messages to Brest but could
not receive any.
Long cables were more affected than
short ones, southerly ones more than
nOrtherly ones, and the abnormal cur
rents seemed to travel mostly from
east to west. Sometimes the earth cur
rents are so strong that they injure the
cOndenSerS. But thev are most erratic
in their nature and behavior.

ADVICE TO BUSINESS WOMEN
How One May Escape From lmpor--
tunities That Are in the High
est Degree Unpleasant.

A writer says in the American Maga-
zine in an article dealing with the
business woman:
"If he invites you to luncheon, do
not snub the poor man and tell him
in a naughty voice that you never mix
business with pleasure, or something
equally bromidic. Smile at him-not
coquettishly, but frankly and humanity
and tell him you never eat luncheon.
If he is more than usually thick
headed and follows up the invitation
with an invitation to dinner and the
theater, smile some more; smile CRATE
fully, and appreciatingly, and regret
fully, and tell him you have sick sis
ter at home and spend all your spare
time with her, and when he thinks it
over the next day he will know what
you meaAt and-as it is the next day
he will be glad that you did not ac-
cept. If he compliments your Clothes
be frankly pleased and tell him that
you like that suit, also. If he COM
ments on your pretty color, reply just
as frankly as though you were another
man that so much outdoor work is q
splendid thing for the health. Humor
him, but after every departure from.
the aisles of business lead him gently
but firmly back to his pew and hold
him there"
