THE LANDLORDS VERSION. C;kxv

 "A guest came boolging out of the dining room yesterday with rivulets and rills of catsup coursing down his face," related the landlord of the Petunia tav- ern. land yelling that he had been as- sassinated or misconstrued, or something. Feared like he had bit onto tack in his fritters. and when he chided Sylphie. the hefty waitress. she busted the condiment over him. Also he wanted to know what was going to do about it.
 Well. Mr. Hollar.' says l. when you found a tack in your viands it was an accident. but when you talked so that she smashed the catsup on your head to young lady who served her appren- ticeship as waitress on boarding car for railroad construction gang that was contributory negligence. and can't do anything for you except to hand your bill to you and wish you well on your jour ney.'"

Salvation Army Drive Needs Speeding Up.

l ~ CONSIDERING the far-reaching N good that the Salvation Army has been doing in its long years of service and it's splendid record in war
 work the amount of money it seeks lin the campaign now in progress, IS small; in Jefferson county only $11O,OOO.
 The goal should be easily reached, but unless the drive is speeded up the week will end without the sum asked for being contributed. Birmingham has distinguished itself in all former
 money raising campaigns = patriotic and humane. It would be reflection indeed on this community if it failed Ito do its duty in so laudable cause
 as the Salvation Army.
 More team work is needed. Let's Ihave no Tagging from now on. Sure lily the people of Birmingham are not lacking in appreciation of what the Salvation Army has done in the matter lof social betterment. With ample funds to place the institution on a permanent basis and to promote its home service activities it will do vast fly more in the future.
 Let's make today and tomorrow red letter days in Jefferson county's Sal lvation Army campaign in order that our reputation for generous achieve iment suffer not.
 Every dollar of the hundred and ten thousand should be in sight by Satur- day, when the campaign closes.

Withdrawal of American
 Troops From Russia.

M DELAYED dispatch frc'n }.,a~ A angel, carried hv the Azsoci- ated Press, states th2t angenents are being made t laaspor6 to Eng land tho s2th American intantry within aa snys time. According to pyesat tisns the battalion of the
 atn engineers on the Arch aAe a1 and the railway troops on %ae Thurman front will be the last American forces withdrawn from northern Russia.
 Probably no action taken by the war department has created more unfa- vorable criticism than the sending of American soldiers to fight the bol- sheviki in Russia. It is easy to un- derstand why the men sent there after the armistice was signed should have felt that they were i'll used. This feel 4h6 ASSoitC0 III WAdt CdIcutQ JO De mutiny, and while the trouble was not serious and soon passed away, only a small unit being involved, it caused distinctly bad impression.
 The news from Russia has been so conflicting that it is impossible to judge whether or no our government was justified in sending troops to Rus sia. Little, if anything has been ac- eomplished in the desultory fighting with bolsheviki. We have certainly not improved the situation to any noticeable extent and our men who lost their lives on the bleak battle fields of north Russia were needlessly sacrificed.

Experience With Groundhog..

T went up to Highland Springs re gently to spend my vacation" said W. R. Akins, land I had a rather unusual experience. I was out on the farm help field which ran up mountain side. l heard something above me coming through the bushes and waited to see what was creating the noise and to my surprise I saw two ground hogs. You bet I was some exciting, but being armed with spade I went to work and I had some exercise before I finally succeeded in killing the pair. A negro came along and I gave them to him They were both females"

Wind Changing Saved
 Mobile From Disaster.

MMOBILE has suffered heavy loss GV4 from fire on the water front land in a few business blocks-esti- mated at seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars-but it would have been terrible disaster had the flames swept the heart of the city.
 The firemen worked heroically, but at one time it looked as if the con- flagration could not be got under con- trol. Providence, however, came to the rescue. The wind shifted and the business section was saved.
 Hundreds of dock laborers are homeless, but they will be cared for as expeditiously as possible. While the burning of old dilapidated build ings causes temporary discomfort and Ia pecuniary loss to the owners and the insurance companies, it usually proves a blessing in disguise. In the case of Mobile, a better class of dwellings will be built on the site of the houses destroyed.
 All Alabama will sympathize with the sufferers, but will rejoice at the same time in the fact that the flames were checked before the best part of Mobile was doomed.

No, don't mean the kind that run around the race track every day. mean friend chicken, southern style, and kind we have been serving at the Morris cafe all this week. We think 1t is quite some business to use a crate of broilers everyday, but it has taken nearly three times that number to satify the Kiwanians.

Delighted over Centenary Drive.

Never before in the history of Meth odism has such enthusiasm, such CO., operation and such interest been mani fested in any movement as has been manifested during the great centenary drive which began last Sunday" said pr. Preston B. Wells. pastor of Highlands Methodist church, yesterday.
 Reports from all over southern Meth odism show the most liberal and generous response. Highlands church will go over the top and the daily reports from churches all over the North Alabama conference oversubscribing is quite common occurrence. One of the leading members of Highlands church said yes- terday: This is the first time that the church has ever had an opportunity to show her power and influence in a great world movement; it is the first time America has been asked to give out or her abundant gifts and to help those who have suffered and are in ignorance of the gospel of salvation The church stands today ready to wield an influence that nothing in the history of the world
 is like, and the centenary gives us chance to come forward and do the great work before us.'
 Highlands church has entered with en- thusiasm and splendid spirit into the cen- tenary drive and every indication points to a grand success"

Hobbs, and after looking over his building we went to see the First Methodist, and the Highland Methodist churches We tried to get into the beautiful Temple Emanu-El but failed to find the janitor. We got to 80 over the splendid plant of the Southside Baptist church. I was very anxious to meet pr. Middleton S.

HOUSE WOULD GIVE
BOOKS To SCHOOLS
~ Review Leased wirel


PHOENIX, Ariz-. Jan. S1.-The pro-
pOsal to furnish copies OF the eight
volumes of Farish's history of Arizona
to all the public schools and libraries
in the state. known as house concur
rent resolution 3. was today adopted
and sent to the senate, where it was
read and laid over for one day.
The resolution, drawn in ornate
language, met with some opposition
and demanded considerable explain
ing The pioneers of Arizona were de-
scribed in the resolution as devil
may-care" which phrase drew siren
uous objection from Representative
Coleman OF Pinal. who described the
words as cactus burs set in a plate of
diamonds" Other members. however.
thought the phrase highly appropriate
and they were retained
Representative Delbridge of COchise
was inclined to think that some prin-
ter might have an interest in the resO-
luton beyond its educational features.
He called attention to the fact that
the proposal specified eight volumes
is TO be sent to 500 schools, which
meant 1000 volumes.
In answer to this objection. the ex-
PLANTATION came from Speaker Lines
that the books already had been print
ed and paid for and that the resolu-
ton provided only for their distribu-
ton.
