The Rev. R. Courtier-Forestier in the London Times.
 iN ETROGRAD is without fnei, the IF houses unwarmed. the surviving population perishing of cold, the city held fast in the freezing grip of the rigorous Russian winter The old wooden streets which survived in the mere ancient parts of the capital through centuries of the much-abused monarch ical rule have, on account of the lack of fuel sincA the bolsheNists became all- powerful, been torn down and de- molished. Great quantities even of fur niture in the houses have been broken up for heating purposes on account of the desperate needs Of the bolshevist population.
 Every effort is made by the bolshevists to suppress the true explanation of the state of Petroerad. Directly an impar- tial inquiry Is made, one becomes lost N the fog Of teeth-chattering volubility poured out by the bolshevist apologists
 Raise the blockade" the allies are told. and all will be well. Bu. Petro- grad Is a city warmed, as all Russian cities are, by wood. { oniy wood can be burnt in the petchkas and stoves built
 into the rooms of rich and poor alike. And wood has never peen imported into Petrograd The forests of Russia cover one-third of the forest land Of the en- tire globe When the absolute absurdity of. the raise the blockade" wall as q means of warming Petrosrad is pointed out. and the ridiculous attempt to foist the lack of fuel onto us is demonstrated, the argument is quietly changed and switched off onto entirely different lines.
 The civil war Is paraded as an un- answerable argument How can any sane person with an unbiased mind, it Is said, expect the boishevists to warm Petrograd while Denikmc and Kolchak hoid entire province and cannot be sub dued? It is hoped that one will assume that the fuel necessary for the capital must be brought from the governments occupied by Deniklne and Kolchak. This is, or courSes 4ueo4ulotS untrue. Wooo for Petrosrad was never brought from these parts of Russia. If ones knowledge of the country is sufficiently intimate to be able to point out that vast forests are within easy reach of the capital, and that under the monarchy there we're always adequate to the needs of the Petrograd district. the statement is greeted with smiling sur- prise. but an acknowledgment, if pressed Tor. of it's absolute accuracy. The propasandist is baffled but not yet routed. The railway system, you are told, is SO disorganized by the millions of workers whoa refuse to accept the dubious blessings of the new civilization and it's incidental accompaniments of tor- ture. murder and outrage that the nec--- sary railway transport is impossible to arrange.

 One of. the most interesting ex perlences I ever had was my recent 'rlp to Trenton, N. J.. where I assisted Tn the government raids on the reds" said Robert E. McAdory. When re- ceived orders to report there for duty Il was thrilled. for had visions of many exctsyag events. as well as some real fun. However, had the excite ment. but ue fun turned out to be mostly hard work When I reported Tor duty in Trenton I found about 100 other special agents of the Depart ment of Justice from the south there. these men having been called to as sist in the raids. as there were none to be made in the south at this time.
 op the first day we started about o'clock in the evening. and before midnight we brought in more than s0t reds. We kept this up, working all nlsht every night for a week, and it seemed to. me that I never saw as many reds in my fife and l began to wonder where they came from. however, as soon as the raiding was over and we were relieved I was ready 10 come home. for. don't think I was ever so tired. In fact. I had a chance 10 stay in New York for several days following the raids but was so worn out decided to come back to Bir- niinsham and I was certainly glad to set nack.

Rob Jone. Great Evangelist

It was with the greatest pleasure that read the announcement in the Age Herald Sunday, and later heard Dr. Pres ton B. Wells, pastor of the Highlands Metnodist church. announce that the Rev. Bop Jones, the great evangelist, would conduct a revival at Highlands church beginning February l." said w. J. ,Yeild- Ing, a prom nent member of the High iands Methodist church and a member of the board of stewards When I was at Asbury park last summer Bob Jones was there; he had been conducting a great meeting at Ocean Grove and the people up there were very enthusiastic about him. He is really better known in the east than in the south, where he has made his home. The people all over that section of the country know and love the Rev. Bob Jones. Being a Methodist naturally I am a great believer in re- vivals, and l am glad pr. Wells, our pastor, is going to bring Bob Jones here to wake us up and pour some of the di- vine fire of his religion and Christianity into our hearts and lives. The board of stewards and the entire congregation of Highlands Methodist church will stand by pr. Wells in his effortsNto make Bob Jones revival a success

From the Los Angeles Times.
 In the gossip about some of the men who think they are presidential candi- dates the 'Lett9rs from . Retired Statesman" in the New York World, refer to the California Senator as Hell Roaring Hiram" He is the voice of the Big Wind, who sets his foot upon the sea and rides upon the storm. He is described as being with General Wood the joint heir of the political assets of Roosevelt, which are still in the hands of the receiver. Now he has been brok- en to work in party harness with La Toilette and others. In the Hughes campaign he was absent without leave. His platform is mo place with nobody, His slogan is keep the prairie. fire burning"

Fine Poultry Is On Exhibit Here

0GsHE annual show of the Southern
 4 Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Association is being held in Birming- ham this week. The officials in charge announce that over 700 entries have been made and others are expected during the week.
 Some of the chickens, pigeons, rab- bits and other exhibits have pedigrees that would put to shame many of the titled nobility of ancient and decrepit Imonarchies of Europe, and their own- |ers are justly proud of them. And we'll they may be, for high-class chicken, rabbit, pigeon or other fancy breed of any of the classes repre- scented by the association has a mar ket value at present that would stagger the uninitiated.
 The poultry industry has assumed large proportions in the south in the last few years andthose engaged in the business are devoting their en- ergies to making it still greater in- dustry.
 A visit to the showrooms of the as- sociation, on Second avenue, will be a revelation to persons who have not had the opportunity of seeing the fine animals and fowls brought here for the exhibit. The men who are backing the association and thereby trying to improve the breed of chick ems, pigeons and rabbits deserve the encouragement of the people of Bir- mingham and visit to their show is the best encouragement that rap be given them now.

Birmingham Teachers
 Want Salary Increase

1fHE school teachers of Birming-
 0 ham are making g concerted
 effort to get more pay. They will
 ask that part of the 5-mill special tax,
 soon to be voted on, be given them.
 They want a minimum salary of 5000 year and maximum of $500 lin the grammar schools after six lyears of service.
 Contrast the lot of a day laborer with that of the average teacher in Birmingham's public schools. An un- skilled workman who takes the first Ijob that comes along can earn con- fsiderably more in one year than a school teacher, who must have train ling and experience and live in style befitting her social position. There are young women teaching school in Birmingham whose salary barely pays their board and were it not for help from relatives they could not continue "a month. Naturally, they do not ex- pect to spend the remainder of their lives in such unremunerative work. If they are, ambitious they are look ing for something else to do. If their ideal is domesticity, when the right man comes along they will resign with cheerful alacrity. Thousands of teachers are leaving their jobs. in America because of insufficient pay. It is estimated that about 1000 re- signed in Alabama during the past year.
 z The public school teachers of Bir- mingham are not asking much. A minimum of 5000 these days will barely support one person in comfort. It will certainly not provide lux1ries, while a maximum of $500 is little enough. If any practical way gan be devised to pay our teachers more, they should be given the relief they so greatly need.

Now that the crisis is past, his hard, com mon sense asserts itself. There is no mawkish sentimentality about Mir. Hoover. Hailed as deliverer by Eu- ropean hordes, he now gives them good advice.
 Work and more work, without watching the clock and figuring pay for overtime, will solve most of the problems which confront the world.
