TN one respect, at least, the pro-
ducing managers of the photo
play world have set an example,
which if emulated in the world
theatrical, might be better for
the drama and better for the theater-
going public. In every matter of vital
concern to their art and their indus
try they have united their efforts for
the common good and this, perhaps,
quite as much as anything else, has
served to advance the photoplay, both
as an art and an industry, 10 lts
present high status. There are no
strikes among the moving picture
players; there is no warfare, except
that of legitimate competition, be-
tween the producing managers. 1Iao

terprises are being weeded out, anu

press companies had to reopen their liquor departments and rent storage rooms for handling nothing but liquor packages. While the long lines of waiting people were not in evidence, as they used to be at the Terminal station, there was nearly always a crowd at the distributing counter waiting to cheerfully perjure them- selves in declaring the whisky they received was to be used for medicinal purposes only.
 With express shipments cut off, ex- cept for limited amount of liquor, which will be permitted to trickle in for legitimate uses. chiefly medicinal, Alabama will be dryer than ever be- fore.

 Need of Enthusiasm In Thrift Campaign.

IWl(NITH the War Savings or thrift w campaign now on a perma- nent basis, the work will proceed in an organized business-like manner re- gardless of voluntary aid, but in order to carry out the thrift idea, to say nothing of the appeal from the treas Iury department for funds with which to meet pressing requirements, team work must be kept up to the highest state of efficiency It should be en- thusiastic work, too.
 Canvassers in every county and school district in Alabama should vie with each other in stirring up interest in the thrift feature of the cause. The government seeks to raise two billion dollars this year by the sale of Stamps, but as popular as these mod est investment securities are, it will be impossible to reach the goal unless enthusiasm is all-pervading. With the habit of thrift practiced by children and people of moderate means, individual prosperity will be greatly promoted and the wealth of each community will increase in very substantial degree.
 Alabama had well-organized War Savings campaign in 1918, and good results were obtained. If the total amount of money turned into the treasury department was not as large as had been expected it was because of the multiplicity of patriotic drives.
 There will be fewer of such drives this year. The fifth Liberty Loan in April will be the only one of large moment. The War Savings campaign will go forward without handicaps, and if everyone feels the importance of it and puts his shoulder to the wheel great achievement will be recorded
 The campaign is nation wide, and every state is expected to put forth a maximum of effort. Alabama may be counted upon to do it's part. It will go over the top if enthusiasm be the watchword.

WHERE THE MULE LACKS HONOR

From the New York World.
 The British lay themselves open to the charge of being one of the back ward races by their refusal to recog- nize the virtues of the American mule. With the cessation of hostilities the government has on it's hands surplus of animals which it is offering for sale, but the director of remounts com- plain that people don't seem inclined to buy" the mules, in spite of the arr guments advanced in their favor as hardy, economical beasts.
 It may be because of their defective early training that General Birkbecks s countrymen fail to grasp the opportu- nifty offered them. If from youth they had known the mule as a trusted com panion wherever hard labor was to be done, they never would have weakened in their friendship. But merely as matter of sentiment they owe him spe- cial affection. He has helped lay the solid foundations of British commerce in all parts of the world. With noth- ing but his bare keep as reward, he has contributed steadfastly to the wetalth and greatness of the British empire. Where would the cotton industry of Lancashire have been if the mule ali these years had not toiled in the fields of the south? Can any Englishman lay his hand on his heart and deny the eternal debt of gratitude? But as a war veteran alone the mule deserves a place of his own in the regard of the British people. Wherever there was hard fighting to be found he was pres ent, and he did not need supplies of fuel or military roads to report for duty.
 It will be strange thing if in the process of demobilization the British fail to give the army mule a good job on discharge from service.

Community Sing and
 Membership Drive

0T1HE community sing continues to O attract large crowds on Sunday afternoons and the weekly collections are substantial, although not suffi- cient to defray all expenses. The sing is not an expensive institution. No Icivic asset that gives pleasure to the multitude is conducted so economical fly, yet funds are needed to establish lit on a sound footing. Mrs. w. J. Adams, chairman of the |community committee, is about to in |augurate a membership campaign. A community sing association was or ganized several weeks ago and hun |dred or more persons were enrolled, but it is the purpose of Mrs. Adams to bring the membership up to one thousand.
 The annual membership dues are only five dollars, but with five thou sand dollars to count on, in addition to the collections, the Philharmonic orchestra of twenty-five or thirty performers could be revived and the concerts otherwise improved.
 There are surely thousand persons who could contribute five dollars each to the enterprise and never miss it. Mrs. Adams has worked with a heart and will and her, pluck and public spirit should be recognized and receive practical support. That her appeal will spell success should go without saying:
