We asked him how old he was, and he
said about 70. He did not locke like a

to settle down somewhere and make a

Christmas Shopping
Now Well in Order

THINE was when Christmas shop.
q ping did not begin until two
weeks before the joyous festival. But
in recent years the holiday shopping
is in full swing by the latter part
of November.
The merchants of Birmingham are
excellently well stocked this season
and most people are prepared to shop
before the congestion sets in. The
earlier the better.
The purchaser gets the pick of the
stocks, and the overworked sales
men are relieved Of their burden.
The slogan, shop early, becomes
more popular year by year.

From the Houston Post.
6T1HE stand of Governor Harding OF
the federal reserve board. with
q reference to the handling OF cot
ton loans is based on good sense and
sound public policy.
Governor Harding denies that reserve
banks are to recall loans made on cot
ton. but he insists that there be stricter
examination of grades of cotton offered
as collateral, owing to the wide differ
ences now existing between high ana
low grades, and he is opposed TO allow
ing the banks to be used as a medium
In enable owners of cotton to withhold
il entirely from the market with the
view of forcing unreasonable prices
Unless the federal reserve banks are
to be turned into institutions to foster
profiteering, there is no other position
for the board to take. The plan pro-
posed the other day by President Wanna
maker of the American Cotton associa-
ton that 100000 bales, or one-hfth OF
the present years crop, be withheld from
the market entirely as a means of fore
ing prices higher, is utterly untenable,
from the public's point of view. and the
public certainly would not sustain
the federal banks in becoming party
to any such scheme.
There is no disposition on the part of
the public to force cotton owners TO
unload their holdings at loss, and Gov
ernor Harding gives assurance that cot
ton loans are not to be recalled by the
federal banks, and he assures the cot
ton interests further that everything will
be done to aid them in marketing their
product gradually in order to prevent
sacrifice on the part of anyone. yet it
must be done with due regard to the
safety. the wants and requirements of
other commercials interests of the coun-
try"
With this view of Governor Harding
there will be quite general agreement.
Farmers and owners OF cotton are entitled
to financial assistance to enable them
to market their holdings in an orderly

A NEW HERO REVEALED

from the New York Evening Sun.
Announcement has at last been made
of the man to whom the nation and the
world is indebted for the depth charge.
which proved SO effective a weapon
against the German U-boats. This man is
Chester T. Minkler of the Newport torpedo
station.
All homage is due Mr. Minkler. The
value Of his invention can hardly be ex-
aggerated. In fact, it is not too much TO
say that without the depth charge the
war might have been lost, for the enemy
submarines were threatening in 1917 to
bring the allied powers to their knees be-
fore American assistance could become eff
fective.
Mr. Minkler conducted his experiments
in Newport waters at great personal risk,
and turned over his patent to the govern
ment without royalty or conditions. His
name should be placed high in the honor
list Of those who served the nation nobly
in the hour of need.

Take Some Stock in
Port of Birmingham

1.-THE campaign for the necessary
q funds to build the terminals
of the Port of Birmingham on the
Warrior river is tagging. So i'm
portant matter should not have
even semblance of failing to ma
terialize.
The necessary two hundred thou
sand dollars is being raised in the
form of stock subscriptions in the
Port of Birmingham company, and
aside of being of such great import
ance in development of the freight
traffic of the Birmingham district,
it is an excellent investment.
At the meeting yesterday of the
Warrior river development commit
tee it was shown that less than one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
had been subscribed. Of this amount
the Tennessee company had subscribed
fifty thousand dollars. There were
J one or two ten thousand dollar sub
scriptions and number for five thou
sand dollars, and larger number for
lone thousand dollars. There were not
enough subscriptions ranging from
one hundred dollars to five hundred
dollars to give the project the charac-
Ter it should have as representative
of the entire community.
The committees which have been
asking subscriptions have, of course,
not had opportunity to visit everyone
who would be willing to take from
one hundred dollars to five hundred
dollars worth of stock. Such s0b-
scribers are, therefore, urgently re-
quested not to wait for the commit
tees, but to send in their subscriptions
/ to Oscar Wells, treasurer, at the First
National bank.
There should he no delay. The first
shipment Of steel ever made from the
Birmingham district by water started
