as His Topic.

Sunday morning at the First Presby-
terrain church Or. williamson, the pas
tor, will reply to an article by Judge
Ben b, Lindsey, which appears in the
March number OF the Cosmopolitan
magazine, entitled The Doughboy's
Religion" The preface TO the article
is in these words:
We have heard that a pronounced
religious and spiritual awakening has
come to the men who faced death and
worse terrors on European battle fields.
and II is assumed by many people that
this has mean q revival of belief in and
adherence to the ancient dogmas OF
Christianity, How far this is from tho
true state OF affairs is shown by Judge
Lindsey"

to war restrictions.
The 1910 census gave Memphis a
population inside the city limits of
lSl,lO5. 1t was shown at that time
that the population reached by the
street railway system, the telephone
system. and lying directly adjacent to
the city limits, vas $50, 900, and had the
CITY limits been extended before that
census, Memphis would nave been Civ

Naturally, the owners of the big man .
u~facturing plants to the north and
south of the present limits, around
which thickly settled little communl-
Ties have grown up, and the owners
of many handsome and expensive homes
on the east, object to having their
properties included in the city limits.
as 1t would increase their taxes, al
though as a matter of fact they now
have a large measure Of fire protec-
ton and police protection, paid for by
the taxpayers of Memphis, without cost
TO themselves.
Members of the legislature say that
a number Of property owners whose
holdings are included inside the lines
Of the present bill, have protested and
asked that their lands be excluded
when the bill is finally passed. The
people of Blnghamton, or a very large
majority Of them, favor annexation to
Memphis. Unless some organized &C.
ton Is taken soon, however, It Is prob
able that the bill will be passed sub.
stantially as drawn.

GROCERY TRADE IS
BEING ADJUSTED
TO PEACE BASIS
J. H. McLaurin, President Of
Wholesale GroCerS ASSoCia-
ton, Says Prices viii Re-
main High.

In the opinion of Joseph II. Nc
Laurin, president OF the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' association, the
iobbing trade of the United States win
be adjusted gradually to a peace basis,
but the lessons Of efficiency and better
methods will be worth all that they cost
the wholesale trad during the year In
which the United States was at war,
Mr.. McIAurin spent Friday In Mem
phis as the guest of members Of the
association, who held several informal
conferences with him and entertained
him at Q luncheon. NJ. II. Hunt. Of the
Oliver Finnie company, Is a member OF
the board Of the association.
u have just returned to my home
and our headquarters in Jacksonville.

ing 16 months in Washington, whore we
maintained headquarters during the
war, aiding the food administration Is
carrying out Its policies. The whole
sale grocers of the country loyalty sup
ported the administration? and bore
their war burden OF increased prices,
greater overhead expenses in every way,
and smaller profits, without complaint,
knowing they were doing their part in
aiding to wiz the war.
Old Methods Gone.
Business will never return to the
Oh metnous. Ihere Will be greater ef-
ficiency In every line of trade, better
cooperation, a keener vision and better
realization OF the responsibilities of citi-
zenship.
Business will be readjusted gradually
to a peace basis. 1t would not be well
In any line, either in the wholesale
trade or In manufacturing, to attempt
to reach normal business conditions too
speedily. Prices will come down gradu-
ally and the cost Of most food products
must remain comparatively high for a
long time owing to the increased cost
Of labor. 1t would mean disaster to cut
the wages of employees now, but with
the new business methods introduced
as war measures, wholesale merchants
stlll can make money In spite Of the in
creased cost of doing business"
Mr.. McLaurin left Friday night for
Washington and New York, partly on d
tour In the interest Of his association
and partly on personal business. He
has been president Of the association
since 1910, having succeeded Sam II.
Phillips, Of Memphis, as the head of the
association.
The mex annual meeting OF the assoc
citation will be held in New orleans
May 7 to 2, and Mr.. McLaurln believes
the convention will be the largest gath
ering of men interested In food products
ever held in the United States.

Big Men Go Free.

An of the big industries in New South
Memphis are to be left out.
The manufacturing corporations
along Wolf river and the Illinois Gems
trail railroad, north Of the city, pracS
tically all are omitted from the proposed
extension. The great Buckeye plant
en- the Raleigh road is beyond the pro-
posed limit,
Hence the net effect Of the act II
passed in its present form will be, to
make some increase in the population
of Memphis and in doing so lay a
heavi tax on the man who owns a
small home in the annexed territory,
but the big corporations which enjoy
all of the advantages OF a city. in
Guiding water, light, etc, are to be left
out so as to escape taxes.
According to the figures of the 1910
census, the territory included in the
bill would take into the city limits a
section with a population then Of about
10000.

 We were making about 40 miles an hour in an automobile over one of the finest roads I ever saw" he said. The preachers were talking of St. Paurs visit to Rome and one of them re- marked that the citizens came out this road to meet the apostle. Not being very well up on the history of these times or of St. Paul. I sat back and listened Eventually l found, out that we were on the Appian Way, built more than 2O00 years ago. and it is now q better road than I have ever seen in this country.
 q finally remarked, I'll bet John Craft and certain others named by him never had anything to do With the building of this road.
 Well anyhow, I think it would be a safe bet that St. Paul is now traveling better roads than you have in Walker, retorted the genial senator from Mo- bile.

THE PROFESSIONAL WOMEN
 AND FEEDER RATION IDEA

An epoch-making event in more ways than one will be the first meeting of the National Federation of Business and Pro fessional Womens clubs, which will be held the coming week in St Louis.
 There have been for long years the writers clubs the doctors and nurses clubs and the business womans s leagues and clubs, but they have never been as sembled nj common interest, nor has there been the national spirit called into expression among them.
 The meeting of these women from all sections of the nation now could nor have been more timely. It comes after the business and professional women have made themselves felt as a strong and patriotic force, and it will emphasize the fact of the new and carried avenues open to women in every line of human en- deavor and how they made good in these avocations during the war.
 The woman familiar with organization and it's values will be there, and she will be eager to take from the reports which will be made by women represent ing every section new inspiration in the message which she will take back to the organization she represents.
 The professional woman will hear the story from California that this year more women received their degrees from the University of California than did men, and that there were more than nun dred young women doctors ana youns women lawyers graduated from one insti- tuition in that state this year. The pro fessional women from Georgia can tell the way in which their university mas been opened to them.
