EARLE ANNOUNCES PRICE FIXING STOPS Can Now Set Their Own Quotations Unless They Try to
 G0uge

Price fixing of foodstuffs has been discontinued by the food administra- ton, according to information received County Food Administrator Paul H. Earle yesterday. Hereafter dealers will do thier own price fixing, unless con- ditions arise which will make it neces- sary for the food administration to again take control.
 The official communication received by MT. Earle follows:
 we have been advised by Washing ton that conditions in most states now make it advisable to discontinue the publication of fair prices and leaving to our discretion the action to be taken in Alabama. We have decided that conditions are such that all food boards in this state may at once cease the publication of fair prices.
 We do not believe that we shall again have to call upon the boards, but desire them to hold themselves in read mess to respond in case we should. We ask that the county food adminis- trator and the president of each board express to the members the very great appreciation the United States food ad- min.stration and the federal food ad- earnest and faithful service as mem- bers of their respective boards"
 All restrictions on the sale of wheat flour, mixed wheat flour and wheat mill feed have been removed. While this means that dealers are now per- mitted to determine for themselves reasonable profits on such products, they are reminded that the food ad- law against profiteering Is still in effect and that they will be held amenable to 1t.

soon as possible and the repeal of the selective draft act provisions for en- listment only during the period of the war
 Whatever the size of the standing army, it will be necessary to keep it up by voluntary enlistments and 1t is this work that the friends of Captain Hutchinson regard him as so well fit ted to perform.
 It will be recalled that Captain Hutchinson made an exceptionally fine record in Alabama for his recruiting work for the present war. He not only had the cordial cooperation of every one with whom he came in contact, but he was so full of energy that volun- teers were secured by the thousands in Alabama before the selective service act became effective. In fact, while the figures have never been compiled it is understood that Alabama made one of the best showings in the union in the number of volunteers in propor- tion to population. He made his head quarters in Birmingham but had of- fices in Montgomery. Mobile and Selma and he is almost as well acquainted in one city as the other.
 His reappointment would be wei comed in all of these recruiting centers of the state.

MANY ASPIRE ID SUCCEED JUDGE
 JOHN H. MILLER
Due to Congested Condition of Court Governor Ex- pected to Name Sue
 cess0r at Once

Almost a score of Birmingham at torneys have been mentioned as prob able candidates for the vacancy on the Jefferson county circuit court bench caused by the death of Judge John Fl. Miller Friday morning. All of those named will not likely ask Governor Henderson for the appointment, but those that are not active candidates are said to be in a receptive mood and if the appointment is rendered any one of them he will accept.
 Mentioned as probable candidates are: Judge John Mcqueen of the mu- nicipal court, who was reelected a few days ago for four-year term; Judge Dan A. Greene. for several years judge of the criminal court; former Chancel- Tor John c. Carmichael former Ap- pellate Court Judge Richard " Evans, William K. Terry, James G. Davis, as- sistant county solicitor; Luke P.fEIunt, Thomas Judge. Clark Williams and F. D. McArthur
 There are still others who may get in the race within the next day or two. Governor Henderson will make the ap- pointment before he retires from office two weeks hence, the person receiving the commission from him serving un- til the next regular election in 1922.
 The friends of the different candi- dates are already active in their be- half and several delegations are ex- pected to make the trip to Montgom- cry during the coming week to urge the merits of their respective favor ties.
 The circuit court reconvenes tomar- row after vacation of two or three weeks, ordered by the judges at the request of the health board, the law yers and the jurors, as a precaution against the further spread of the in fluenZa.
 The dockets are crowded with cases awaiting trial and it is said Governor Henderson will be urged to fill the va cancy without delay.

Captain Henley entered the first of ficers' training school at Camp Gordon just after war was declared and was commissioned a captain in the infan- try. He was later placed in charge of a company of 250 men and assigned to the S27th regiment, Eighty di- vision, which went to France last spring.
 The heroic manner in which the bril- liant young officer sustained a shrap- mel wound above the knee was describ- ed in letter which recently appeared in The Age-Herald from one of the lieutenants in his regiment The Eighty y-second division formed the spear-head of the American forces in the memorable charge through the Ar gonne forest and the 327th regiment, of which Captain Henley is a member, was leading the attack when the Huns from behind heavy ambuscade sudden ly poured forth a merciless machine gun fire into the ranks of the advanc- ing Americans.
 So heavy were the casualties that many of the attacking regiments were ordered to withdraw. but the 32Tth stood it's ground until many of the men were without ammunition. At this Juncture Captain Henley, at great per sonal risk, according to his brother of ficer exposed himself to the enemy's

Edgar l.. Adler, vice president of the Corona Coal company. stated fast night that no formal protest had been made against the new coal rates, but that he preferred not to discuss the matter al this time.
 It was understood yesterday, how ever. that certain of the coal interests whose properties are not adjacent to the Warrior river felt that there was injustice in the new low rate on coal tage to operators who could easily load their coal on barges without rail haul The cost of the haul to the river is held by these operators as consti- tuting an advantage to that extent over those who must ship to the coast by all rail or by rail and water.
 It may be stated. however. that the problem was one which was given careful consideration at the time steps were taken to secure the advantages of a water rate to those who could avail themselves of it. At that time it was also pointed out that such ques- tions would probably adjust them selves and that the railroads could not suffer operators who were dependent upon them to reach the coast points to be placed at disadvantage in those markets and would accordingly ar range such rates as would meet the sit- uation.
 In other words. it has been repeat edly pointed out that one of the chief advantages of water rates was that they tended to bring rail rates in con- formity with them.

SOUTHERN HOUSEKEEPERS, as rule, know little of what is known as "ROUGH-DRY," or semi-finished family work. Let us explain it to you:
 We take the entire family wash, weigh it and make a charge of 1Oc per pound for the total weight. The bundle is then separated, taking out all articles of wearing apparel, wash and starch the pieces that should be starehed and return ready for iron ing. The flat work, that is all table and bed linens, are washed and ironed ready for use and returned in sep arate package.
 On account of the expense and unre- liable washerwoman these days, a trial of this service will convince you of its satisfactory and economical so- lution of your laundry troubles. Trv us-calI Main 377
