Is it not reasonable to believe that Fairfield, with its 14,00O skilled mechanics, will be more than twice the size of Ensley? At a very conservative estimate the pay rolls of Fairfield will exceed twenty millions year. At a very conservative estimate the population of Fairfield will soon be more than 3O,OOO.
 Thirty thousand people with an an nual income of twenty million dollars. Think of the stores that will be nec- essary to serve them, think of the bus mess and the prosperity that the dis tribution of twenty million dollars a years means to Fairfield.
 The tremendous developments at Fairfield mean something to you, for you can, if you will, profit by them. In few months there will be an al- most unbelievable increase in the value of real estate at Fairfield. The assured growth of Fairfield makes that certain.

A few years ago if a big million dollar enterprise located in our midst, folks would gather on the street cor ners and hold jubiliation meetings,
 everybody would go about their daiiV tasks with new enthusiasm.
 We ought to remember that mil lion dollars is still million dollars, and that twenty million dollars is just twenty times as much We've been tell ing you folks that more than twenty millions of dollars are being invested in six huge ship-steel plants at Fair field, but the only people who really realize what's going on at Fairfield are those who have been out there. When they see the big plants under construction, and 1000 houses going up, they exclaim. ''Why, l had no idea that the developments at Fair field were on such tremendous scale; why, this is the biggest thing that has ever happened to the Bir- mingham district"
 To give you faint idea of what the ship-steel plants mean to Fair field, the furnaces and steel mills at Ensley employ only 5000 men. The present industries at Fairfield employ 4O0O Workmen, and this number will

Were it not for this ability, he could not

Ailerons are little extra surfaces, movable,
between the two main planes, at either end.
Flaps are hinged parts of the main plane or
planes, at the rear and towards the ends,
which can be depressed, increasing the angle
of incidence at that point. In the warping
wing, the original Wright patent, the end
Of the wings are pulled out of shape, to
change the angle. The point is that when
one aileron, flap or warping wing increases
the angle of incidence on one side, the
corresponding part on the other side of the
plane does the reverse. The angle being
increased on side, lift increased on that side
decreased on the other, lift decreases. Re-

Before a woman is married she expects

he is satisfactory if he pays her bills.

That the man who thinks he lacks time

Plain Tales From the Bible

need. But rising above all else, giving to
Paul all of Divine power that was his and
to US the ultimate in blessings of life and
instructions for living, is the service to
which he was called-that he gave, faith
fully and unstintingly.
In the house of Judas, in the street called
Straight, in the city of Damascus, Saul, the
threatening, vengeful Pharisee was changed
into Paul, the servant-the apostle, which
means one who is sent. Paul's learning,
his instruction in zeal and devotion towards
whatever cause was held by him as worthy
and important. fitted him for the service he
afterwards gave to the Master and men.
He carried the message of Christianity to
the people of Israel and TO the Gentiles and
for it he appeared unafraid before Rulers
and Kings. He preached and worked and
served; he was subjected to the persecution
he had once represented; was imprisoned
and martyred; but withal, he served and
never faltered in the course given him to
follow. Turn to any message left by him
and there will be found only one reference
to himself-a servant, an apostle.
We, today, need such lesson in service.
Our scheme of living has come to hold too
much of ''take" and far too little of give.
We must learn that the greatest and only
enduring riches of life are in what we do
and not in what we have. No matter what
material things we may save during our
short visit on earth, in the end we will re-
ceive no profit or good from these alone.
When it comes our time to follow Death
through the shadows of the grave there will
be but one thing that we can take with US
on that journey-what we have done. What
we give of self and not what we save of and
for self may we keep. And the most
wonderful part of this truth is that there is
no future in the rewards that service brings.
These are constant. Each days service re-
turns to the servant an equal measure of JOY
in living, of contentment with life, of place
and purpose in affairs of men and of perfecr
harmony and adjustment with Divine will
and pleasure. We will learn that giving
adds to our possessions and doing increases
our strength.
We need to study Paul's life; but more
we need to study our own lives. To learn
this lesson of service is not altogether an
easy matter-Paul needed extreme method
of teaching. Very often do we need the
| same. But the lesson is there for US to learn
and its rewards are sure. And the happiest,
the greatest day of any life will be that on
which that one will have learned to say with
Paul: "Yet have made myself servant of
all, that i might gain the more

The Stacker
By r. B.

I'm tired of hearing of you, Stacker,
I'm tired of seeing you, too.
Now that the country needs every hacker,
ou've showed what you would do.
You've shirked your bit-you wouldn't
fight,
But you bluff yourself you're in the right;
Only to you-a slacker-only to you!
Did you pay heed to the nations call
For men with Drawn and brainl
You'd never fight till pushed to the wall,
And soon weaken from the strain.
Your money and time you've boarded like
miser;
Your motto, unsaid, is, "Me, God and the
Kaiser.''
Only you-a slacker-just you!
You will regret that yellow streak
That you wear so free today;
For the time will come when even the meek
Will scorn your body of clay.
In future years when you pass by
You'll see the scorn in every eye.
You'll hang your head with sorrow and
shame. ~
But you are the only one to blame.
Only you-a slacker-just you!
And when your race on earth is run
And you We passed to the other side:
You'll stand before the Highest One
With the rest of the human tide.
You will see the gaze of pity,
You will hear the sad reproach;
And the sting it will bring as the words fall
That herald your approach.
Only you-a slacker-only you!
Your voice will be raised for mercy
But your pleadings will be in vain.
You'll find your share in the "World's
controversy"
Has been branded ever there with shame.
"Take him away for he served the Devil,
Both he and the Kaiser are on the same
level"
And even the words you will hear in disgust
From the Lord of the Lower World, 81
suppose must
Take even Stacker, tho know its q shame
To have such thing in my domain.

When can't hold you tight
Against my heart and sing to you

When youth to childhood calls,
Down from my knee you'll slip away
As dusk on sunset falls.
The time will come, oh, boy of mine,
When l shall have you back,
Sweet memory will light your love
To me along that track,
My heart will ever make to yours
When childhood takes its fight,
And l can't sing or hold you, son,

Where deadly missiles now are hurled!
o! God of peace.
Bid now this fearful slaughter cease;
Pour in the wounds the oil and wine,
Til bleeding nations all are Thine.
O! God of might,
Turn on, turn on, the Gospel light;
Break down the mighty rule of kings;
Let Justice spread her lowering wings.
O! God Divine.
All nations of the earth entwine
Within Thy arms of everlasting love,
Til peace on earth resounds with peace
in heaven above.

Willard Keinholz, formerly a guard,
and who pitched winning ball for the
Saltwater club of the Interstate league, is in
the United States service in Texas, with the
Post Exchange at Kelley Field. Recently
in q game against the 633rd Squadron he
pitched one-hit game, 10 to 0. The hit
was a scratch, the batter attempting to
dodge close ball, which hit his bat and
rolled into the diamond, the runner beating
out the ball to first. Keinholz also made a
home run, the longest drive ever made on
the grounds.
He shows that he Is just as good as when
he successfully put them over when he was
with Saltwater, and at that time he was
about the best in the league.

daily on the battle6elds to be worked over
into new materials for use by the fighting
men. Lead missiles are usually lost as they
travel at such a velocity that they bury
themselves in whatever object they strike.
Steel and other metals from wrecked auto

Battle Sounds Transmitted by Earth.
Sounds of fighting in Flanders have been
heard plainly in parts of England. The
fact that the sounds are sometimes heard
when the wind is blowing towards the
battlefield and that they have been observed
in a number of cases to be louder some
distance below the surface of the ground
lead to the conclusion that the vibrations
are transmitted more READILY and distinct
" through the earth than through the air.

The Dollar at the Door
One day a silver dollar sought
A lodging in the town.

One day silver dollar sought
A lodging in the town.
The CHEEKY ring of silver brought
Intent to settle down.
The fellow it was first to sight
Was one, I'm sad to say,
Who did not hasten to invite
The coin in town to stay.
This most unpatriotic man,
Instead of being glad
To aid the dollar in the plan
To help the town it had,
The dollar sent afar to roam
In other regions then
And never to his town or home
The dollar came again.
Another dollar also came,
But met man more kind
A fellow with different name,
More patriotic mind.
He asked it in, he babe it stay
And help the town to grow;
And never more it roamed away
Or cared afar to GO.
From house to house that dollar went
And labored for the good
Of every man to whom twas sent
And all the neighborhood.
1t helped the farmers field to till,
To swing the woodman' AK,
To build church upon the hill
And pay the village tax.
Next time dollar comes to town
Let's greet it with cheer;
Don't send it off or turn it down.
But let it settle here
For every dollar come to rQOst
In home or farm or store
Is one more dollar come to boost
The town a little e!-Er.

MOVIE STARS
 ADVERTISE THE
 NEXT BIG LOAN
Associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 17.--NIoving pic ture stars in special screen acts will furnish probably the most distinctive advertising feature of the fourth Liberty loan, which opens September 28. Plans for the campaign, an- nounced today by Frank R. Wilson, director of loan publicity, show that 370 feet of fiilm each, have been pre- pared and will be released during the three weeks drive by leading film exchanges, so that each of the 17,O0O movie theaters in the country will have a new four minute Liberty loan feature every three days.
 The actors and the managers paid for the film productions, contributing services and materials of an estimated value of $1,O0O,000 and the govern ment paid for the four thousand dupli- cate films of about $50,000 ir about $3 for each theater in the country.
 The players include some comedy themes, most of them teach the les son of bond buying intensely drama tic stories.
