The Counsel of Preparedness.

we're guests at the luncheon given in

An Inspiring Commemoration.

Every person who witnessed yeSter-
days spectacles in this city in com
memoration of Independence day, and
especially those who saw all of them,
should be stronger in patriotic feeling
today, better in citizenship, more ap-
preciative of the meaning of America.
Washington never had so striklngly
significant and appropriate celebra-
item of the national birthday From the
first item in the program to the glorl
Gus display of fireworks at the close
the ceremonies and pageants were re-
markahly impressive. rejecting the
highest credit upon those who con
ceived the plan, those who executed 1t,
those who participated in it.
In vivid. picturesque manner the
meaning of America was portrayed in
the tableaus. dances and spectacles. IN
a colorful. history teaching pageant
the story of the nations was told to an
immense multitude. At the Capitol as
fitting close of the well ordered pro
gram a surprisingly beautiful story of
peace was told in moving representa-
ton.
An important feature of the day was
the presentation of medals to the Dis
trict men who, during the war, wore
the uniform of this country. That cere
mony demonstrated to the thousands
who formed the Districts overfull
quota that the home community re-
CARDS them with appreciation and af-
lection. The ceremony was most ap-
propriate to the day and found fit
ting place in the program.
With this display of pageantry as
demonstration it is to be hoped that
Washington will not cease to COM
memorate such occasions in a similar
manner. The spectacles presented
were more than entertainments. They
were lessons. They taught the thou
sands who beheld them that devotion
to national principles is the main
spring of human action, that in pride
in eountry's glorious achievements in
art, in science, in industry. in war and
in peace lies the source of strength and
the cause of progress.
Yesterdays local celebration was in
spired by the desire to teach Ameri
canism. 1t was hoped by its promoters
to inspire in every beholder deter
mination to become more worthy of the
opportunities and privileges afforded
in this land. 1t cannot have failed to
accomplish this result. 1t was an OBJ
jcct lesson in citizenship and much
good must flow from it.
It was appropriate that the first In
dependence day following the triumph
of righteous arms in battle, insuring
peace in the world, should be celebrat-
ed at the National Capital by way OF
the most beautiful and impressive
spectacle ever witnessed here.

St. Louis Branch Manager of Tire Company Gives Demonstration of Rapid Service

L. N. Bartlett. district manager at St. Louis for the Republic Rubber corpora tion, gave striking demonstration of rapid service to dealer recently. Henry Osiek & Sons of St. Charles, Mo-, Re- public dealers of that town, had a cus- toner who wanted a tire badly, as he wished to start at once on trip.
 Unfortunately the dealers were out of the size, but very anxious to please the motorist, as he was a sincere Republic baaster. MT. Osiek called MT. Bartlett at St. Louis on the phone and explained the circumstances. Mir. Bartlett promised to have the tire there in less than a half hour and he more than made good.
 The tire was taken to the hangars of the Southern Aerial Transportation com pany, and there lashedonto the landing gear of an aeroplane.
 The flying machine sped to St. Charles and the tire was dropped in the street in front of tre Osiek place of business, the machine dropping down to housetop level to assure accurate delivery.
 It was just 15 minutes from the time Mr. Osiek had phoned until one of his men was apiying the tire to the car of the waiting customer.

people in the bay cities not connected with any church."
 It was in the interest of this for ward movement in California that Bish- op DuBose visited the North Alabama conference the past week. In competi- tion with the Buddhist temples whose spires are the first greeting a new world offers the immigrant who lan5s from San Francisco bay, Bishop DuBose is planning chain of eight tabernacles with Christian ministry to meet the needs of the people. Whether these are native Americans who need protec, ton from the peaceful penetration" of the Japanese, or foreign people who need to be Americanized. these taber nacles will stand for world evangeliza- tion and Christian social service.
 The response Bishop DuBose received from the North Alabama conference was appreciative of the work now be- ing accomplished by the two taber nacles already erected Six more will be built within a year, one of these to be erected by North Alabama to be called The North Alabama Taber-, nacle," Bishop DuBose assured.
 ''The.western land is now turning to us," said the bishop, turning to the Southern Methodist church, which has already influenced the sentiment of the OHlNeESlty or ldlliO1Ild.
 "The reason of this" he explained 'is because the western people know that the southern people appreciate their problems among the Japanese. This is more acute than the negro prob lem here.
 q am in California" he continued, what I am in the south--a strict sep aratist
 There are probably 120,000 Japanese on the Pacific coast who do not come here to be Americanized nor to stay. They come to make money. and go back to Japan. In Los Angeles the Japanese have grabbed the retail trade and in that city alone there are AS Japanese retail merchants. The streets are teeming with their children who attend the same schools with Ameri can children. It is rare, however, that you ever see Japanese men now in school with children. They are forced to go to private or night schools to learn English.
 q went with a friend the other day" the bishop remembered, "and for 300 San Francisco blocks there were beau tiful homes, and yet, not a single church.
 "The Californians will build these churches for themselves" he assured but they will not be aroused to the necessity for it until the church comes to awaken their indifference.
 Do you know" he marveled, there are more Methodists in Birmingham than there are Christians in all the denominations of San Francisco?"
 And more Christians in Shanghai, China, than church people in San Fran cisco, hasn't someone stated?" was the inquiry.
 That wouldn't be a surprising state ment to make" he replied. What we want" said this rare friend who has crossed the Sierras and Rocky mountains more than 50 times and who loves every foot of California soil, what we want is to bring the old time Methodist circuit rider to San Francisco to help save America. and the world"

 The strength of the cotton growers financially. and their abiilty to enforce
 profitable prices for cotton depends fun dameiuali,- upon full cribs of grain, hay and meat. This is vitally true under ex- isting conditions of the high cost of labor, supplies, mules and farm machin- cry. Itis imperative over that large area of the cottcn belt now infested with the holl weevils and other insects prey ing upcn the cotton plants.
 "The highest duty of every man is the self-rresers ation of himself and family, and for the cotton grower this means the planting of sufficient acreage in food and fed crops 70 supply every necessary de- irand for mar and beast on the farm. NO southern farmer can draw his supplies from western graineries and packing houses and become either independent or self-respecting, or give to his family the necessary comforts of life and prop H.. l. f.- o,s and :lliteracy so long dominant in the cotton states has been due to the exten- sive production of cotton and drawing food supplies from the west.

For the Good of
 the Community

"A Chamber of Commerce since it's reorgan- ization last summer is that of advertising Bir- mingham made goods Inreferrlng to this at the general meeting of the members last Wednes- day night at the Tutwiler hotel, President k. A. Brown stated that during the reorganization period of the Chamber of Commerce, sugges- tions of lines of activities were requested of the members.
 Of the hundreds of suggestions received by the officers, that of advertising Birmingham was more often mentioned than any other.
 Mr. Brown stated that, acting upon these sug- gestions. he and his associate officers had begun such campaign
 One of the features of this campaign is to in- duce manufacturers to stamp on the articles they make the words, Made in Birmingham" With the adoption of this suggestion every ar ticle emade here will carry the advertisement into whatever locality it goes.
 As there are more than HOO different articles made in Birmingham, the greater part of which can be stamped as suggested Birmingham would receive wider and more effective adver- Using than could be given in any other way.
 Take dental brushes for instance. They are small, but capable of bearing the Birmingham stamp Thousands of these are sent out from the Birmingham factory every month. They go into all parts of the United States and some are exported to England, continental Europe and other countries:
 Every dentist using these sees the name Bir mingham and the article bearing the stamp be- ing good and satisfactory, he will at once refer to his atlas or his encyclopedia or some other reference book to learn more of Birmingham, where it is and what it is.
 Perhaps the reader will recall especially if he was reared on farm, of seeing certain agricul- tural machinery with the imprint of the manu- facturer somewhere in Ohio on some parts of it.. Massilon, or whatever place it was, was indel- ibly stamped upon his mind That appeared to him to be great place, wonderful place, to turn out machinery that did so much and les sened the work of the farmer to such greatex- tent.
 He got interested in the city and at the first opportunity searched his geography for it. He wanted to know where Massilon was, in what state and part of the country, and what kind of town it was.
 He may have been somewhat disappointed when he learned that Massilon was small Ohio town, possibly not known outside of that state except where this machinery or some other ma chinery made there had found it's way.
 Birmingham is we'll known throughout the United States perhaps. But Birmingham is known as coal and pig iron center. The extent and variety of the manufactures here are not known except to limited extent.
