T have just returned from a delight full visit to Indianapolis and some of the other middle western cities" said David J.. Davis. "I was pleased to meet an old Birmingham friend in Indianap- oplis and to find that he had made good, for H. E. Yockey is the efficient city attorney. His city believes in the value of an auditorium and has spent millions on one. It also goes in for parks and is lavish in laying out and caring for them; but the thing which attracted my wife and I most was the market covering a wide area. We went through it with MT. and Mrs. Vockey. and while I do not like to knock my home town, yet I must say that it was easier and cheaper to buy things for the table in Indianapolis than in Bir- mingham.

HE THAT LOVES A ROSY CREEK

By Thomas Carew. He that loves a rosy cheek.
 Or a coral lip admires. Or from star-like eyes doth seek
 Fuel to maintain it's fires; As old Time makes these decay So his flames must waste away. But a smooth and steadfast mind,
 Gentle thoughts and calm desires, Hearts with equal love combin'd.
 Kindle never-dying fires; Where these are not, despise
 Lovely cheeks, or lips. or eyes.

Steady Progress in Sale
 of Thrift Stamps

TT HE permanent campaign for the
 J sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps is progressing steadily. Mrs. Richard F. Johnston, state director of the woman's division, has been giving her best efforts to the work of organi- zation and expresses herself well pleased with the results.
 Organization is what counts. It put the Liberty Loans over the top and aroused children and people of small means to do their bit. While patriot ism was the compelling motive, even that stirring sentiment would not have brought the splendid achievements that made America the marvel of the allies without organization. Now that the world war is a thing of the past intensive drives for money to help the government meet its war obligations are no longer invited, but revenue is needed nevertheless, and every American can aid appreciably by joining a Saving and Thrift so- ciety.
 The Stamps are on sale at post offices, banks and many other places. The investor is not only helping him or herself, but is doing what every pa- triotic person should be eager to do make Uncle Sam's life less of a hur- den.
 No quota is set for Alabama, but by unflagging work this state should raise by the Savings Stamp method half billion dollars or more during the present year.

Bella KUN'S HONESTY
Old Minister, Back in Action, Ex-

BUDAPEST. Hungary. August IA
(via Paris. France. August 2O.-
Wean Grunn, the minister of finance,
who, although old and his best years
gone. has returned and is trying to re-
store order in the financial chaos left
by the bolsheviki. The minister told
me some facts regarding the situation.
NO one can tell me-" he said, that
Bella Kun was an honest idealist. Like
all of the other communists, he was
working for his pocket. Three weeks
before running away he sent many
men whom he called detectives to
foreign countries with large amounts
of money.
My estimate is that the bolsheviki
spent 100000, 900 crowns (S1, ,OO0,-
O00). of which 3,2O0.O00,o00 crowns
(s650.00O.000) was in white or coun-
terfeit money. There remained in the
banks 4O0.0O0,000 crowns (ssO,0O0, 00O)
OF white money. but this will be pre-
vented from going into circulation.
The postal notes. of which only a>few
are in circulation, remain good. The
securities sold amounted to a total not
exceeding 100000 crowns GAO. OO0).
We will make an arbitrary ratio of
cent of the face value. The peasants
have all the blue money. and hence
the only way to get it into circula-
ton is to stamp it and withhold per

GERMANS TO GET NOTES

Restitution for Mines Seized and

PARIS, August 23.-The supreme
council has decided to send two more
notes to the German delegation at
Versailles. The first will ask that
restitution be made to the Jugoslav
government for the Constollatz mines
seized by Germans during the war
and exploited.
The second will acknowledge a
message expressing the intention of
the German government to hand over
to the allies documents relative to
damage done invaded territories, es-
pecially those arising from reQuisi-

clear there can be no discussion of

conclusion the former minister


says:
'The effectiveness of the league of
nations depends entirely on how it is
handled. but as it stands today it seems
to be solely an entente instrument for
keeping Germany down. The plea of
Secretary of War Baker for a bigger
army is directly opposed to the league
principles against the increasing of
ornaments.
'Great Britain's 5eparate treaty with
Persia without notifying her allies indi-
Gates distrust of her allies, which. with
the desire of the United States for a
bigger army. brings out the distrust now
existing among the allies. The Scapa
Flow incident is approved by every Ger
man as a bit of work well done.
1.-The controversy in the United States
Senate must not be taken seriously. 1t
is only party agitation to discredit Pres
ident Wilson. l know Senator Lodge

Germans in the United States, and so

dressed the assembly as follows:
