 ITO the Manufacturers of Steel and Iron Products: In the working out of the replacement of jobbers' stock under circular of the war industries board of July 8. it has been found that due to the curtailment of shipments over tho last SO days. jobbers in some sections have exhausted entirely their stocks of certain commodities. therefore mak- ing 1t impossible for them to secure re- placement of July sales.

Farmers Urged to Plant Winter Wheat to Cover
 Corn Shortage

According to the monthly report of tho department Of agriculture. the corn crop in Alabama fell off per cent during the month of July, and in the United States the 1918 acerage ins corn is 100000 less than in 1917 As the acreage in Alabama is less this year than last and the crop condition below the average. the yield more than likely Twill fall considerably below last years yield, which however, was the greatest in the history of >the state.
 Tn view of the fact that the corn crop is going to be- short this year." said Secretary A. S Leath of the food pre- paredness bureau, "it behooves the farm CTS to plant more wheat this fall so that they will have sufficient food crop nexr summer, Already there are indications that the acreage in winter wheat in Ala bama will te the greatest in the history of the state, yet with short corn croi, every acre of wheat 1t is possible to plant will De needed before another crop or corn can be planted and gathered.
 ''The responses to our appeals to the farmers to increase their wheat acreage are most encouraging, and we are be- ginning to look forward to yield in ex cess of the 100000 bushels we set as tn" 1913 goal. but if that amount can be doubled every pushel of 1t can be used In the state.
 In pas, years the grain deales of Bsr minghar have bought 90 per cent of the corn they handled in the west or middle west ano shipped It here This year. however, % per cent or the corn they have handled was Alabama grown, and per cent of that was shipped out of the state. That is euite a gratifying reversal of form and should encourage the farmers tu continue to raise corn and other gram not only for their own use, but in suffi,- cient quantities to enable them to sell to other gtAtes."

Salute and Ride
 Posters Now Ready

aSaIute and ride.s
 Probably every automobile own CT in the city is willing to give our soldiers and sailors n ride if he sO desires.
 In order that the men in uniform may know that the automobile owner is willing to give the boys q SIift," The Age-Heraid has secured n large number of c0lored posters bearing the legend, "Salute and Ride.o
 This poster will be distributed free to motorists and are to be placed on the windshield of the car, which will mean that you arc willing to give the bOys . ride as far as you go.
 Get one today and place it on your machine, so that the soldiers and sailors may know that you appreciate them enough to give them a ride without inconvenience to yourself. They only ask thnt you ride them in the direction you are going.
 For instance, suppose you are going south on Twentieth street as far as Avenue F and a soldier or sailor salutes you. Stop your car and carry him to Avenue and let him off. Another "sa- lute and Rider motorist will have the opportunity to give . fur ther lift toward his destination. And so on.
 This will not inconvenience you in the least and be you sure your little act of kindness will be ap- preciated.
 Get your fsSalutc and Ride. pos- ter at once, 1t costs you nOth- ing.
 Incidentally, the Whitman Taxi company fell in with the idea at once and all their cars bear the ssSalue and Ride'' poster.

 "Now, boys,s said Mir. Barn well. ns he unfurled his weiI- known smile, you believe in fair play. You want to hear both sides of this meeting, so ' want you to come over here when MT. Huddie- ston finishes and hear us."
 This seemed to catch the spirit of the crowd and they soon began to gather around the car by Mir. Jackson and MT. Bnrnwell.
 Before MT. BarnweIi had fin ished more than 50O people had gathered, there was a fine patri- ottc sentiment shown nnd Mr. Barnwell pronounced it one of the best meetings he had held.

VOTERS WILL TODAY ! DECIDE MERITS OF ISSUES SUBMITTED Numerous Offices to Be Filled Following Campaign Covering Whole State POLLS OPEN ATS
 AND CLOSE AT 6 Much Speculation Has Been Indulged in Regarding Size of the Vote
 Which Will Be Cast

After campaigning for less than 60 days, the people today will elect their officers
 For the Senate of the United States, there are two candidates. John H. Bankhead and Frank s. White. For the office of governor, there are five candidates, Thomas F. Kilby William w. Brandon, John H. Wallace, Charles B. Teasley and John PurifOy.
 For lieutenant governor. there are four--candidates Nathan l.. Miller, c. c. Nesmith Thomas L. Bulger. and James Parrish.
 Locally, the most interesting race is that for Congress- The candidates are George Huddleston, A. J. Dickinson and Fred M. Jackson.
 The issues in the race for the Senate are lacking. Tn the race for governor, the main issue is the proposed prohiLi- MT. Kiiby s an advocatepof the amend : ment. Against the amendment are Wallace, Brandon, Teasley and Purifny
 The same issue obtains in the race for lieutenant governor. Against the alone. For the amendment are MT. Miller, MT. Bulger and MT. Parrish.
 RACE FOR CONGRESS
 Tn the race for Congress the issue is ''patriotism." MT, Jackson and Dr. Dickinson are the "patriotic'' candi- dates. President Wilson, having stated that in every way MT. Huddleston is an opponent of the administration, has in effect asked the people to defeat him.
 Inasmuch as the President has pre- ceeded only against Vardaman of Mis- sissippi. Hardwick of Georgia and Hud- dleston of Alabama, the Ninth district has a campaign of national interest and importance.
 Locally. there is exceptional interest in the legislative tickets. The anti amendists have a ticket headed by !. T. Glover, candidate for the senate. The amendist ticket is headed by Charles West, candidate for the sen ate. Professor McNell of Bessemer, is another candidate for the senate on the amendist platform.
 CANDIDATES FOR HOUSE
 The anti-amendists and the amend ists have a ticket of candidates for the house. Tn addition to those on the ticket, other candidates are run- mig. Among them are some of the best known prohibition politicians of the state, notably John B. Weakley and Felix l. Tarrant.
 Inasmuch as they are not on the slate, they are running as independent prohibition amendist candidates. They are strong men, and will receive many votes.
 There has been great speculation as to the size of the vote today. In the Underw ood -Hobson campaign in 1911, the vote was 135,000. On account of the soldiers who have gone to war, the number will be materially de- creased. It is the consensus of opinion that the vote will range from 100000 to 120000
 The polls in Birmingham will open at 8 o'clock and close at o'clock. The animosities engendered by the heat of the campaign have practically expended themselves, and no trouble. at any point in Alabama, is antici- pated.
