The nationwide drive of the Saliva tion Army, lasting 10 days, which Is to provide funds for the maintenance of the work done throughout the coming year. will start this morning. This drive Is taken up under an en- tirely different plan from that former ly pursued by the Salvation Army.

Adjutant Emma Wal gren, as superintendent, has charge of the drive here.
 Letters containing circulars were sent through the mails yesterday and the drive will begin in earnest today. The immediate and pressing need of funds for the organization is for the erection of a headquarters building, and the remodeling of the Army Home at 3901 Avenue E, and the infants home next door.
 Headquarters for the entire south eastern division, known the gull states division, are located here, and there IS no headquarters building at all, offices being rented All residents of Jefferson county are urged by Adju- tant Walgren to contribute to this worthy cause.

Montgomery, March CSpecial.) )--Com- plaints of alleged dilatory tactics of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company the past several weeks are be- ing received at the office of the Alabama public service commission. There ap- pears to be a campaign by this as well as other concerns, it is stated, to make the government control unpopular by these methods. and it is considered cer- tain that the first action of the commits sion in Montgomery. when the govern ment finally ceases control of the utili- ties will be to cut the rates now charged for long distance connections.
 Telephone companies in the state have sent out the first statements since the Burleson rate became effective on Janu- ary 21. In many instances the rate is shown to have jumped 70 per cent, in cluding the charges made for "the work of operators in attempting to get con-

NINE MEN RECEIVED
 FOR NAVAL SERVICE
Film Issued by Navy Department at
 the Strand Theatre

Nine men were received at the local recruiting station of the United States navy in the Title Guarantee building during the past week, three of whom en- listed in the hospital corps. "The Rookie at the Road" the film issued by the navy department, which is being shown at the Strand theatre is attracting much attention and is one of the best pictures of it's kind seen in Birmingham in some time.
 Lieut.. F. L. Mathews, in charge of the local station, states that as soon as his office force is increased he expects to launch a campaign throughout the state for recruits. He expects in this manner to secure a large number of men for this branch of the service. The enlist ments for the week are as follows:
 Dewey Guthrie, Ashland; Isaac Heikki- nen, Florence; Levert Jordan, Ashland; Frank Lindsey, Montgomery; Paul Me Comack, Birmingham: Lyle Pritchet, Montgomery; Lewis Risener, Birming- ham; John Robertson, Birmingham; James Treadwell, Ashland.

 SERVICE CHARGE UNPOPULAR
 The attention of the commission has been called to a Service charge" on many things. A person moving from one office to another. where there is tele- phone, must pay sl50 in advance for having his number changed to the num- Der of the phone in the office to which he is moving. Days, sometimes weeks pass before the number Is changed, 1t Is stated, and the subscriber pays the re- gular telephone rate. notwithstanding the fact he is without service.
 Attorney General J. c. Smith will go into the Montgomery circuit court on March 12 with facts which he believes will cause the issuance of an injunction against the phone company in Ala bama This injunction, if granted. will prevent the company from following the strict orders of the Postmaster General in ad- vancing the toll rates. MT. Smith is said to have ample evidence to show tho judge of the court there is no neces- sity for advancing rates, and it is be- lieved in Montgomery action against the company will be taken.
 Attention of the public service com mission has been called to the conten- tion of the company that conditions cannot adjust themselves for many months. It is argued, however, that the company in this state has never claimed it was losing money under the rates in effect when Mir. Burleson increased them The commission has refused to approve the rates, and the minute the opportunity presents itself the commits sion will take some action to bring the old rates back.

no sharp change occurred. We do not think that the situation whole has changed at all. We expect a steady market pending developments as to ex-
 ports and as to the progress of new crop preparations. Since the south be-
 gan agitation about the value of the lower grades P years have elapsed now low middiing is officially quoted over $40 points below middling and good ordi- nary at 1046 points below middling. The spinning value of such cotton has been proved to be many cents a pound above such difference. This depreciation of the lower grades is, however, popular in the south and it has eliminated in the new amendment, the effect of which we must wait and see.-Hubbard Bros. &

 New Orleans, March S.-This, the first day of trading under the amended cot tor futures act, passed without any of the abrormalities which the more pessi- mistic element in the trade predicted. The trade, on the whole, seemed to pre- fer to take the view that Congress has passed constructive law and that the market will be all the better for it. The ease with which new contract prices went to a premium over the old made it plain that the majority of traders considered the new contract the more valuable. There was liquidation of long contracts. as expected and it induced periods of weakness, but the tendency during good part of the time was toward higher levels.
 In the early trading old contracts were IS to 22 points up from which they fell to level 8 to B points under the close of Monday, but late in the session they were back again practically at the high est levels. New contracts went 116 to II. points over the level of Mondays closing prices, old contract of course, then fell off 50 to 115 points, then steadied and came back to within 30 points of the highest op the old crop months. New October felt continued selling and stood 12} points down from the highest late in the day. May was about the most active month, and it traded up to 2f.Soc on old contracts at the. highest and to 22. S4c on the. new contracts sa*
 It is important to remember that only liquidation can be done in old contracts and that new orders must be executed in new contracts. In a few sessions in terest in the old contract will be greatly reduced and a market established in new contracts which will have tendency to work to higher levels, in our opinion. Old contracts closed 3 points down to 21 points up.-Shepard & Gluck.
