BEHIND THE PREACHER"
 SERMON RY DR EDMONDS

Dr. Henry M. Edmonds sermon Sunday morning was addressed particularly to the membership of the Independent Presby- terian church. Behind the Preacher was the subject of his message. The scene and story of Peter standing up with the eleven, preaching the penta- costal sermon, was the setting for Dr, Edm monds' appeal to his congregation to be one with him in the work of the In dependent Presbyterian church.
 You are not my feid,'' said Dr. Ed monds; you are my force if l have any ou are not consumers, you are distrib- utors. If you consume all of what r>have you are extravagant and a failure. A cf urch is not a community of saved persons; it is a community of saving per sons. 'Ye are the salt of the earth, the saving agent, not the thing to be saved. The church that is not standing up be- hino it's preacher is doing little good and falling far short of it's mission"
 Dr. Edmonds reviewed the personnel of ttose who were standing that day with Peter-James and John, violent men of great power; Matthew, the former poli- t;cian of the very worst sort; Philip, the cautious business man; Thomas and Ma thaniel, the doubters; Andrew, Simon and Jude, just ordinary, commonplace men; and Peter himself. who had almost failed, but who had come back. Dr. Edmonds likened the congregation as a whole to the types represented by these apostolic characters. "But they were all standing there with Peter," he declared.
 The preacher then stated in what very definite ways the congregation could stand up with him and behind him. Church attendance, being on time, the giving life of each individual, personal work and personal livng-these were duties and obligations placed at the door of every church member.

It's Easy to sBe Plump,

It's easy to be plump. popular and at- tractive instead of being thin. angular and scrawny. Almost invariably the trouble is due to weak nerves and consequent failure to assimilate your food. You may eat heartily but owing to the lack of nervous energy and impoverished blood you don't get the benefit from the food you eat. All of this can be remedied very quickly by taking with each meal fve-grain tablet of Blood-Iro Phosphate. This quickly strengthens the nervous system. enriches the blood and increases is oxygen carry- ing power. and in . remarkably short time the average thin, weak. nervous man or woman begins to put on flesh. but also begins to look and feel better Sleep. appetite. strength and endurance are im- proved, dull eyes become bright. and, unless afflicted with some organic complaint. there is no reason why. if you take Blood-Iron Phosphate regularly. you should not soon look and feel much better and many years younger.

Jefferson, Mobile and Mont- gomery Counties Lead State in Education-Numbe Is
 Placed at 61,153 Now

Montgomery, November 21.-The num- Der of illiterates in Alabama between the ages of 10 and 1 years, at the close of the period elapsing between the school census of 1918 and 1920, totals 61 .153. ac- cording to the report of the statistician of the state department of education.
 This report indicates an increase in the literacy of whites and negroes be- tween these ages of 5.2 per cent, and says if the present rate of progress is maintained over the next four years, il- literacy will have been practically wiped out in the state.
 Jefferson, Mobile and Montgomery counties lead in the ratio of. literates to illiterates, the formers census showing 9S per cent literate, while Mobile with T7 and Montgomery with 90.2 per cent followed. Greene trailed the 67 counties with percentage of 64S literates out of S,S96 persons enumerated between the ages of 10 and 21 years.

Mobile, November 21.-(Special) A new record in shipbuilding will be set up Tuesday when the 10000 ton all-steell steamer Tuscaloosa City departs early Tuesday on her trial trip into the Gulf of Mexico, as only F days have been con stunned in quitting the vessel from the day of launching, November O, to next Tuesday, November 23, the day of the trial voyage
 The feat, which stands out as a record in shipbuilding, has been ac- complished by the Chickasaw ship building and Car company, and was made necessary by an early order for cargo which sthe Tuscaloosa City will load immediately for Rot terdam. The company was asked if the ship could be completed and delivered by that time, and the an- swer was that the Chickasaw com pany will carry out its agreement as it was announced Saturday and the ship will be complete and ready for the trial Tuesday morning.

Mobile Sets New Shipbuilding Record;
 Steamer Tuscaloosa City Is Completed And Ready for Ocean Trip In 17 Days

The Tuscaloosa City was launched on Saturday, November 6, S5 per cent complete. The outfitting of ships between the time of launch ing and the trial voyage usually consumes not less than three weeks and very often 30 days and more, but when the call came for early delivery of the Tuscaloosa City, work was speedfd up and all out fitting records broken for the Chickasaw, as well as in gulf coast shipyards. The vessel will begin loading cargo next Wednesday, the day after the trial voyage, for Rot terdam, making another of the Chicxasaw constructed ships to load out of Mobile for a foreign port
 Steel plates will form the greater part of the cargo of the Tuscaloosa City and is rush cargo. The of ficials at Chickasaw were advised that the cargo was for im1n ediate order and would have to sail promptly from Mobile, provided the Chickasaw plant could get the ship ready by that time.

UNLIMITED SUGAR IS WORRYING CUBA May Hold Up Old Stock Until Newer Crops Have Been
 Consumed
By Associated Prea

Havana, Cuba, November 21.-Presi- dent Menocal has virtually decided to issue a decree placing an embargo on the exportation of all sugar held over from last years crop, according to informa- ton from reliable source.
 This step, it was said, Is due to the demoralized condition of the world s sugar market and the claim of Cuban sugar producers that they cannot produce sugar at present prices. It would be a temporary measure taken pending ac- tion by Congress to make loans for handling of the 19o0-N crop.
 Action by the government would not cease there, it was declared, but would take further shape in the formation of a national board to act as 8 sales me dium for the disposal of the crop.
 Many planters and mill men assert that there will be no sugar from the new crop during December, as grinding will not begin before January. owing to present low prices.
