Industrial collapse which followed the signing of the

through the winter with a surplus Of fuel paid for
at high prices and which the consumers insisted on
using up before they purchased more. The real
basis for comparison is the year before, 1918, and

| LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
III. snnaau school Assoeiayion

The SUNDAY School Association
Fairmont, Sept. 8.
Editor of the West Virginian;-
The Sunday. school association
has for its aim the establishment
of Sunday schools where there arc
now none and the building up Of
schools That are already ostablish'
ed.
In one sense We might say It's
aim Is to bring all Sunday SCHOOLS
into a great cooperative body.
It does not work for any one
church bu: 1t works to build up
every school wherever found. :,
There are a great many people
and many churches who cannot
ioin in any work that will help any
other church. They are perfectly
willing to build up their own
church and give a little help to
another church OF their own de-
nomination but that is as far as
they can go.
menace to the Sunday school work
TODAY is the fact that 80 many
people are non attendants.
Now no one would be foolish
enough to argue that any one
church or Sunday school could
take care Of all the people who
would attend In aFlrmont. There
fore in order to take care of all
who desire to go to church we
must have several churches and
several Sunday schools.
So 1t would seem to me when
one school helps another Sunday
school to build up they are really
helping themselves; for the more

UNDERWOOD AND MUSCLE SHOALS

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 If MT. Underwood had been really in- terested in the farmers he would have stayed on the job and looked after the passage of this bill, which would have hurried the completion of Muscle Shoals and placed at the disposal of Ala bama farmers large quantities of fertilizer at very cheap rate-Annis- ton Star, 1914 supporter of Underwood.
 The next day on the first page of the Star appeared the following dispatches from Washington:
 Washington, April 30.-(United bama, new democratic leader, won his first fight on the floor today. He de- feated an amendment to the fortifica- tions bill which would have forbidden further expenditures on the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant unless specifically authorized by Congress-"
 Washington. April 30-U. P)-rhe Senate today passed the fertilization appropriation bill carrying more than s1s.Ooo00o an increase of about s500.- coo over the House figure"

Not the Barber,s Friend

Former Governor Jelks came down. town the other day to discover that coffee, of which he is a regular par taker more than once a day, and a soft drink, in which he indulges oc- casionally, had both gone up in price,
 "The last of the Mohicans," he laughingly remarked to a friend. "It Is all marked up now"
 Recalling the never varying beard clean visage of the former executive, his friend asked him if he also stood for the higher price. for being shaved He replied:
 The price of shaving does not con- cern me. I belong to that school which holds that well-ordered man should shave himself. I never patron ize the barber shop for that purpose. In fact, I shave as regularly as I make my days toilet. With the modern safe ty razor I fail to see why a man should not perform this intimate act as first hand. I rather rebel at the prospect of being manhandled by another man."

There is a vast difference between being an opera singer and concert singer" said Antonio Scotti, director of the Scotti Opera Company, which was heard in Birmingham on last Mon day in two performances of opera. "1 have never sung in concert because I am primarily an opera singer. I must have the setting, the surroundings, consequently I never attempt concert work Some artists combine the two, and Rosa Ponselle, the sensational young Italian-American prima donna, who is to sing here in the All Star Concerts on May 12, is one of them. Miss Ponselle's voice is perfectly mar velous; the middle register is like vel vet; 1t is one of the most beautiful nat ural voices I have ever heard, and she has done what no other American girl has ever done at the Metropolitan Opera. Her career has been phenom- enal. Appearing with Caruso in La Forza del Destino,' La Juive and other operas she has made a sensational suc- cess"

Montgomery Mans Views


 Charles H. Allen, publisher of the Montgomery Advertiser, wias in Bir- mingham yesterday on business. MT. Allen is an enthusiastic supporter or Ray Rushton. of Montgomery, to sue ceed the late Senator Bankhead. Speak itg of Mir. Rushton's success he said;
 MT. Rushton will come from the south to Birmingham with a good strong plurality. Of this I feel sure.
 "A few days ago I visited Mobile, where I found perhaps the strongest Rushton organization in the state. headed by that most able lawyer, Greg ory L. Smith, with hundreds of active supporters assisting him. MT. Smith and his co-workers are making a per- sonal canvass of Mobile county, and some of them are of the opinion that O. the 6,50O votes to be boiled there, Rushton will get 4.OOO first choice votes. Baldwin, Covington, Geneva, Conecuh and right up the line are strong for Rushton.
 Montgomery county with it's big vote, will give Rushton majority ever all. His home campaign commit tee estimate that he will poll so per cent of his home county vote. MT. Rushton is undoubtedly grow ing faster than any candidate in the short term race because he is recog n:zed as the best qualified man in the race. He proposes to represent the whole of Alabama and not any one fac- ton or idea. He is safe and for this reason alone the farmers and business and labor men are rallying to his standard. In one of his recent speech es he declared as being in favor of a big reduction in all federal taxes, and if elected proposes to accomplish this reduction and take the curb bits off of business by extending the term os payment of our war debt, and by conducting federal affairs in a thor ough, economical business way. This step toward reconstruction will be the prime move to price reductions and happy living conditions among our people.
 MT. Rushton is the winner. He has no special faction. Business men, la Tor men and capital all have confi- eence in him and will elect him, for they are tired of taking chances with representatives of the one idea cali- her."
