War Savings Stamps In
 Popular Demand

A LTHOUGH the sale of War Saw GS ings and Thrift Stamps pro- reeds without special campaigning the result is markedly gratifying. Highly encouraging reports come from various sections of the United States. And Alabama is giving a good ac- count of herself.
 While the war was raging intensive drives were planned and the people were keyed up to a high pitch of pa triotism. But the results were not what had been expected. Two billion dollars was the amount sought in the year 1917, but not more than half of that was raised by this method. The great money-raising activities centered, of course, in the Liberty Loans. But the War Savings Stamps now have the right of way, so to speak. The government is feeling the aid in very substantial degree. The system is on a permanent basis and it is becoming more and more popu- lar as the people of small means fully understand it. It spells thrift, while the small sums invested aggregate a huge volume in the course of twelve month period.
 The treasury department will prob ably receive near billion year from the sale of Savings and Thrift Stamps.

 The Chicago got under way and for the remainder of the voyage all was se- rene. American officers who suggested that only by being given sip could they agree with the crew that they had not

From the New York World.

From the New York World. "A NEW business of the sea has been A\ discovered, though it has long run
 S an amiable course ashore-the
 business of wine sampling. The French steamship Chicago, arriving here yester-
 day, revealed the possibilities of the pro-
 fession as an ocean side line. This is the story of how Jean and Guillaume, seamen on the Chicago, developed the new business.
 "It is to laugh'' gloated Jean when

Tendency to Ignore
 National Prohibition

e AVS the Cleveland Plain Dealer: " "The secretary of the dry main tenance league has been making sur- vey of conditions in Cleveland. He says he finds that large percentage of former saloons are selling whisky openly. Because the league has found the public authorities unwilling or un- able to enforce prohibition, it decides to undertake task which should be unnecessary for any unofficial organi- zation to assume;' the task of gath ering evidence and prosecuting anyone believed guilty of liquor selling"
 Similar conditions prevail in many other parts of the country, particular ly in the larger cities and at resorts. Alcoholic drinks are still being sold in New York and Chicago, but at fancy prices. Not long since Atlantic City was reported to be operating in open defiance of prohibition.
 It was to have been expected that where dry sentiment was not strong ito begin with, little effort would be made by local authorities to enforce the law. It is even predicted that un- less the federal government adopts Ia drastic policy and exercises unceas- ling vigilance, the time is coming when lcommunities wishing to be ''wet" will simply elect "wet" tickets and those desiring to uphold prohibition will aect men who will enforce the laws, and there will be a state of affairs
 throughout the country similar to the situation in Maine. which has been fla
