For the Good of
 the Community


 directly attributable to war activi- ties is that of community service. During the war the government instituted the national council of defense with state and county branches extending throughout the country. One of the most active branches in the whole country was the Jefferson county council of defense.
 Activities of the local branch covered a wide range of subjects and at the con- cluslon of hostilities when there was no further need of a strictly war organiza- ton the Jefferson county branch, at the suggestion of the government was re- solved into the Community Council, Mrs. H. H. Shell being elected chairman of the woman's section and Judge William E. Fort chairman of the mems section.
 The activities of the transformed or ganization included social service in the city and county, cooperation with school authorities in securing the highest possi- ble attendance of children, health and sanitation, entertainments such as com nunity sings, concerts and other forms of amusement
 At the annual meeting few days ago reports showed that the woman's section had been successful in all these lines. At tendance at the public schools was shown to have been increased by the activities of community council committees, dan~s gerous sanitary and health conditions inl a number of places had been improved, and generally the work of the council had resulted in better conditions and more anusements for the young and the old
 In reporting for the community sing ' Mrs. w. J. Adams stated that throughF7 this institution she had learned the reason for an apparent lack of appreciation of music in Birmingham. She stated that a few high class artists had been brought here from time to time and their interpre- tation of the masters appreciated by a ;. small part of the citizens Not until the.e community sing came into existence, she said, did she learn that all the people ap- preciated and enjoyed music.
 The trouble, she explained, had been that the. singing of the great artists had been over the heads of the people We were singing at, and not to, the masses of the people" she stated.
 The community sing rendering popular airs and old time songs with which the people are fanGliar mixed with a fair sprinkling of the classics, appeals to ali classes, and this accounts for it's popu- larity
 Under the plan of operation outlined by the Community Council, the city is districted into blocks, and each block, or district composed of several blocks is placed under the care of one of the committees. These committees are charged with the duty of Investigating health and sanita- tion conditions, school attendance, and where there is sickness, the services of physician, and if necessary, trained nurse, are secured without expense to the sick, if financially unable to pay for these services.
 The Community Council is divided into two sections, one composed of women and the other of men Each works in it's own necuar finld h11t

FIRE INSURANCE RATES IN ALABAMA, AS FIXED BY THE TRUST, ARE TOO HIGH AND MUST BE REDUCED.
 Tn recently published letter from Attorney General Palmer, he says, among other things: 4 very solemn duty to reducing the cost of living and parnc- ularly to eliminate profiteerng rests upon honest and responsible business men of all classes
 have felt it to be my duty to call attention from time time the fact that the most arrogant ot the profiteers is the Insurance Trust.
 One of the necessities of business and social insurance The merchant and manufactures needs to protect his credit and the individual particularly ne who has mortgage on the home he IS attempting to purchase forced to carry insurance regardless of the cost
 The Insurance Trust has increased rates from time to time until they higher in Alabama than in many states in which conditions are not as good as they are necessity and in many the result is pure profit eerng
 When companies members of the Trust pay high com missions to local and general agents dsrtute bonuses among their employees pay large dividends to their stockholders and organize subsidiary companies to further profiteer they cannot with justice plead that the rates not than high enough for them to make reasonable profit on their business
 The public, who provides the means of their making enormous profts should share them at least to the same public is taxed for improved fire which results in fewer losses and greater profits to the companies.
 The remedy lies largely in the hands of the buyers of that demand met would buy their insurance from companies not members of the Trust and there are many such, the competition herefrom would result in the reduction in cost desired and deserved
 There are strong organizations not members of the Trust who have in the past returned to buyers in Alabama dividends of from 5 to 60 per cent of the and satisfactorily
 It is up to the buyers-if they continue to patronize profiteers, profiteering will continue.

ROBERT NJ. POLLOCK
DIED AT FARGO

Robert NJ. Pollock of Fargo died
early Tuesday morning in Fargo, his
death coming suddenly and unexpect-
eddy. Mr.. Pollock was one of the best
known men in the state, having been
resident of North Dakota since 1887,
engaged in the practice of law. 1t was
at the Constitutional convention in
1889 that Mr.. Pollock became known
as staunch advocate for the people
and also of the temperance cause, at
which time he, together with Arne P.
Haugen, framed and attached the pro-
hibitory clause to the Constitution of
the state. Twenty-Five years ago Mr..
Pollock was selected as a member of
the Board of Trustees of the Fargo
College and has remained continu-
Gus and hol1ored member till the time
of his death.
Mr.. Pollock was born in Racine
county, Wis, Dec. 16, 1854, a son Of
James H. and Eveline (Halstead)
Pollock, of New York. The father,
whose life was devoted to farming,
removed to Wisconsin in 1S4S and
there made his home until his death.
During his boyhood and youth Mr..
Pollock attended the public schools of
his native state, and then taught
school for three years, during which
time he also read law. Subsequently
he entered the law office of Judge
Ebert o. Hand, of Racine, and in 1879
was admitted to practice at the bar
of Wisconsin. In 1880 he came to Cas-
