GOVERNMENT SEEKS
 CONFISCATION OF
 CREST AND SAWMILL

Erie Pettus. United States district attorney, will in all probability begin proceedings immediately looking to the confiscation of a combination saw mill and grist mill located near Townley, Ala, in which a 60-gallon still was found by federal prohibition agents. He was requested to do this yesterday by N. l.. Pierce, federal prohibition agent in charge of Alabama.
 Officers making the raid on this r1ill state that the still was connected with the boiler of the mill. Bob and Coleman Williams. operators of the mill were arrested on charges of il- licit distilling. They were bound over to the grand jury by the United States commissioner at Jasper under $500 bond each. It is stated that 300 gall Ions of beer was found under the floor of the mill, which the operators claim was made to feed the hogs. They claimed no knowledge whatever of the still being connected to the boiler, ac- cording to MT Pierce.
 As soon as necessary proceedings can be taken, the government will seek to confiscate the mill which is valued at about S1,450.

For the Good of
 the Community

THE Merchants Credit Association, A representing the merchants of Bir- mingham, is so anxious that people pay their bills promptly that it has been and is now conducting a regular campaign to that end.
 The association is so much in earnest in this matter that it is paying for large amount of advertising space in the news papers. It wants the citizens of Birming ham to form the habit of meeting bills promptly.
 It would be fine for the merchants and the people of Birmingham if all their GUS toners were prompt bill payers.
 The more prompt the payment of bills by the customer the more promptly can the merchant meet his bills, avail himself of discounts for prompt payment and reap other benefits that accrue from hav- ing the reputation of doing this.
 The merchant, who meets his bills on time, is offered the best goods by the best houses on most advantageous terms. The merchant, whose credit is highest, does business with greatest economy. That economy is reflected in the prices which he charges the customer. If this mer- chants customers are prompt in payment of bills, very desirable cycle is estab- lished Everyone benefits.
 Charles Dickens tells the pathetic story of ten-year-old girl, who, by reason of the family circumstances, was nurse to her baby brother.
 A circus procession passed through the streets of the neighborhood. The child nurse, loaded with baby brother, was naturally late arriving on the scene. It is recorded of her adventures on this oc- casion that all she saw of the circus pa rade was the tail of the last elephant as he turned the corner just ahead of the one she was turning in her handicapped state
 Many young man toys with his credit Little by little this becomes load. Time arrives when he needs a lift at the bank, or a special line of credit at the mer- chants would help set him up in business for himself But he is handicapped with 'bills unpaid,' credit abused and good Will unnurtureQ ana departed.
 This young man turns one corner just as success turns the corner ahead and all he descries is the label of anothers suc- cess on the trappings that deck the hind most elephant in the success parade.
 Many young married couple exhaust and ruin credit by failing to take fore handed survey of their ability to pay. Be- cause credit is easy at the start the bills are not totaled as they come in. There follows an enforced balance sheet, whose contemplation begets first dismay and then certain recklessness.
 If bills had been met promptly there would have been more accurate realiza- tion all along of the relation between in come and expenditures.
 Customers should not resent these prompt pay exhortations and advertise ments of the merchants. It is no more to the benefit of the merchants than to that of the customer.

There are even those now who say

TO KEEP CHINA

politics with q good deal Of in

but all this is purely incidental
and subservient to the one big
idea OF selfpreservation thru the
domination OF China as Japan

themselves about their China policy
they differ in discussion OF the
means but never in arguments about
the end; they have no doubts about
what they want.
