MOBILE TRACTOR IS
 INTRODUCED HERE
President Frank J. Ryan Discusses Possibilities of
 New Alabama Machine

The Mobile Tractor company, an Ala bama concern has opened a branch of flee in Birmingham, located in the Jeff ferson County Bank building, the general headquarters being in Mobile.
 Frank J. Ryan, president of the com pany, is in Birmingham in connection with the introduction of the new tractor manufactured by the company. MT. Ryan is enthusiastic over the possibilities of his company g. tractor and will begin an aggressive campaign at once to intro- duce 1t to this section of the south from the offices here.
 "Our company" said MT. Ryan yes. terday, ''has perfected tractor which is driven with a pair of yreins the same as you would drive a team of horses, tEe operator sitting on the blow or wagon or whatever implement the tractor may be pulling, having his work always in front of him.
 ''The tractor is the only strictly one- man, rein drive. electric starting trac- tor on the market today. and promises to be . leader. The company will have it's iron horse on the streets of Birming- ham shortly and will also hold public blowing demonstrations. This tractor is destined to do the work of nine horses and three men. Our company is com posed of some of the leading bankers and business men of the state and we are sure the new implement has great future
 ''The farm tractor is essentially an American institution, and the Mobile tractor is the product of a very skillful and practical tractor builder. His con- ception of a farm tractor is to provide the farmer with power machine. capa- ble of performing the work of the farm horse, first with greater ease and sim- plicity, secondly, with a greater work ing capacity; and thirdly. at consider ably less operating cost and maintenance expense. The Mobile tractor is accord ingly of the very Simplest type. After q great deal of experimentation. the Mo. bile tractor is ready for production. the sample machines built having been per- fected in every single degree. From sales standpoint the tractor industry presents possibilities never before ap- preached by any other industry in any period in the nations history.
 ''The Mobile tractor will turn at nearly right angles, will run in an s-foot circle. and is easier and more quickly handled than hoEses. It is designed to pull two 14-inch blows, run sawsr pumps, feed grinder and cutters, reaping, binding. moving. planting, discing, narrowing, hauling wagons, logs, in fact designed to do anything 3-horse will do, only better.
 It will blow an acre an hour using about 3 gallons of kerosene per acre, by actual test under the most adverse con- altionA~

 BY EVANGELIST
Evangelist Martin Speaks on Satan at the Jeffer-
 son Theatre
Of Birminghanf, Ala. Statement December 31, 10l

'The modern conception of a devil with hoofs. horn, tail and a fork is far from the picture painted in Gods word' de- clared Evangelist Irwin M. Martin in his lecture last night at the Jefferson thea tre. The evangelist went on to say that there are a plurality of inhabited worlds, that Satan was once an angel of light who when he was cast out of heaven tried to conquer all the dominons of God, but was successful only in this world, that his dominion of sin, sorrow, misery and woe here will finally come to an end. MT. Martin said in part:
 "The Bible teaches that before the en- trance of evil there was peace and joy throughout the universe. The law of love was the foundation of this perfect gov ernment of heaven. There was one that chose to pervert this freedom. It was Lucifer, the first of the covering cherubs, and a description of him is given in Ezekial 2S:2-17. It was desire for self supremacy on the part of Lucifer that caused him to be cast out of heaven. The inspired records show that a large num- Der of angels joined in this revolt. If God had annihilated the devil at this time there would have been doubts in the minds of the heavenly hosts. They would have reasoned that Lucifer might have been right after all and if loyal to God it would have been a service of fear.
 Jehovah circumscribed the devils in- flIence and cast him into the earth Here he started again the same tactics he had used in heaven. He taught the woman that if she would disobey Gods word and law she would have liberty would become as God. Ninety-nine per cent of the world today believe that dis obedience to Gods law means liberty. No sooner had man sinned than the gos- pei was instituted, and the gospel is the power of God unto salvation from sin.
 True religion means that a divine power from without will take hold of mortal man and enable him to live up

Usually a Pullman car is a good place to learn what people are think ing about, because travellers exchange views and condolences in way that is not possible during their busy lives at home. The average Pullman car crowd has plenty of cosmopolitanism too, so that the discussions cover wide range of subjects.
 A journey nowadays finds crowd seated or standing in the smoker. The conversation is disjointed No one gets to finish what he began because of the eagerness of the next to speak.

pr. J. E. billiard preached to a capacity house last night on ''The Religion of the Average Man." at the Southside Baptist church. pr. billiard said in part:
 Lincoln was right when he said that cause he made so many of them. We preachers make a mistake when we adapt our services and our sermons to the tastes of the extraordinary people and ignore the ordinary.
 ''Too long we have ignored the average man and the average woman. Our re- ligious books have been written for the learned and the very devoted; our ser mons have been preached either to the devoted saint or aimed at the hardened sinner. who is seldom present to hear the sermon. I want to help this aver age man to understand himself and his needs.
 "A great Frenchman has said that man is incurably religious, but the religion of the average man is very different from that of the religious genius or the mys- tic The average man is not philoso- pher; he is not greatly interested in questions of evolution, the philosophy  verse The average man is not a theolo gian and gives little of his time to theo- logical hair-spltting and the investigation ot mysterious and profound doctrines. He is not particularly interested in theo- ries of inspiration, nor theories of the atonement, but he does believe in the religious life.
 GENUINE PIETY ADMIRED
 "The averSSe man is not higher critic nor a lower critic! he is not par ticularly interested in whether Moses wrote the pentateuch, or whether Paul wrote Hebrews. He doesn't care whether there was one Isiah or 40; but he does admire genuine piety wherever he finds it.
 'The religion of the average man is more practical than theoretical. = He be- lieves in unsefishness, cleanliness of soul stra raightforward honesty, sincerity, justice and generosity. He despises can't, but he has great faith in the goodness of his own wife and mother and he realizes his own defects. The average man believes in the religion or the Golden Rule and the square deal, he likes the story of the Good samaritan, and believes in lending a hand to the needy He is quick to help the poor and ready to care for the distressed; he likes that expression of Jesus "lnas- much as ye have done it unto one or the least of these ye have done 1t unto me-. He believes that if he lives right here he will be all right there.
 "The average man is sure that Jesus lived the most beautiful and helpful life the world has ever known, and he be- lieves in the genuneness of mans pro fession just in proportion as his life re- minds others of Jesus. He is sure that if there Is a God that he must be hke Jesus; that is, he believes God possesses a gentle, sympathetic and helpful spirit, such as prompts father to care for his son, or mother to comfort her chiid. eve are told that the common people heard Jesus gladly The religion that Jesus taught is adapted to all people, but most especially to just the plain. ordinary, every day folk. Jesus seemed especially to love them. He said: Come

on the staff OF Mai. Gen. Smith. The
entire division sailed on the Patricia"

1t Is strongly probable that Mai. Nc
powell will be the soldier candidate for
speaker Of the new Mississippi legisla-
ture next January. His election to
membership in that body as representa-
tive from Kinds county is a foregone
conclusion, although there are a large
number OF entries for the three seats to
which Kinds county Is entitled.
Maj. Mcdowell doesn't even know
that he Is running for the legislature,
having been put into the race by his
friends without asking his consent, He
formerly represented the county In tho
state senate, resigning to become as
slstant encouragement, where he
served with exceptional ability for two
years. He Was appointed major In the
army shortly after America entered tho
war, and assigned to judge advocate

one OF the army camps In Texas, and
was with the American Expeditionary
Force about nine months.
