For Good of the
 Community

- III UIlo SlSCoE ulllS cllu NdlCS O1 CllC Birmingham district has just been com pleted.
 The ore was smelted by coke made from coal and fluxed by limestone until 1t came forth pig iron. Open hearth furn- aces converted it into steel and finishing mills flattened the ingot into shapes.
 The Warrior river carried the shapes to Mobile There Shipbuilding works under the same masterful direction as the mines and the mills fashioned the shapes into ships
 Now the ships have loaded with Bir- mingham steel for two continents and four of them will have made maiden trips with 'S2, 800, 900 of Alabama mill products for faraway peoples.
 But this did not complete the story. The chapter marking the real achievement is taken from the shipping news of the Mo- bile Register of Saturday. 1t reads:
 With the sailing of the Mobile City Sunday morning the following young gentlemen of Mobile have signed as members of the crew. Henry Kettles, Lee Noble, James McPhillips, Jr., Pride Jones and Ernest Dick) Shaw
 
 Orient by way of the Panama Canal and San Francisco, thence to Hawaii. Japan, China, Philippine Islands, India, through the Suez Canal to England and return to the United States
 These young men were school mates, well connected in Mobile, and
 are making the trip to advance their interests in a practical way.
 This completes the story of iron and coal in Alabama. It is completed when the young men of the state realize what it's resources and manufactures mean in the scheme of the universe
 These young men of Alabama have learned to think in terms of ships They have cast their eyes beyond the dip of the horizon and sensed the far reaches of the world. They have glimpsed the part that Alabama must play in the big game of in- ternational commerce if it is to keep it's head abreast of rivalry They go to learn something about other nations and how to trade with them. They are fitting them selves for the biggest business of their state.
 They are not adventurers going forth to see what they may see. They are on a ueIlnlCe voyage. They are dOllss~.the plain, simple practical, obvious thing for young Alabamians to do. The finest apples hang on the highest branches. They seek the riches and most satisfying fruit. The young Alabamian who knows about fara- way peoples and their needs is going to name his salary
 England did not build up it's foreign commerce in alien ships with alien crews. Britain did not master great portion of the world by proxy. Her young men went to the hooks and corners of the earth to see it and learn it at first hand: English trade followed in their path. American trade will develop where Americas young men go.
 It is one thing to raise enough sorghum and cattle and coWpeas to feed family. 1t s'qulte another to raise enough to sell Tn the open markets for the acquisition of the real comforts and some of the luxuries of life. We have not attained until that surplus has been carried where men want it and will pay for it.
 Many dozens and hundreds of young Alabamians are to follow this lead of the Mobile boys In that wav A laharoa u,;lI

MEREDITH SPEAKER
AT CONVENTION OF
ADVERTISING men
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, June S. Politics
began to hum today among the dele
gates here for the 10th annual con-
vention of the Associated Advertising
Club of the World.
Four men, Arthur Newmeyer of New
Orleans, George w. Hopkins of New
York, Tim Thrift of Cleveland. and
Merle Sidener of indianapolis, are
among those being considered for pres
ldent to succeed Reuben H. Donnelley,
of Chicago.
While Milwaukee and Atlanta are
making the loudest claims for the 1921
convention, it was said around head
quarters today that Des Moines was
on a still hunt for it. The convention
city will be selected at a meeting of
the department presidents tonight,
and the nominating committee will
meet Wednesday afternoon. Action
in both cases, however, will have to
be ratified by the convention in gen
eral session on Thursday.
E. T. Meredith, secretary of the De
partment of Agriculture. and Edward
n. Hurley, of Chicago. formerly of the
United States Shipping Board and
prior to that chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission. were two of the
chief speakers at the general session
today.

ing a service department of the Unit
ed States government which deals
with an $50, 100000 enterprise with
a yearly business of $25, 900, 600, 900,
believe l will get your attention" said
Secretary Meredith
THE purpose of this advertisement
is to sell you the United States De
partment of Agriculture, and when
tell you that this tremendous enter
| prise is creating business for you,
+ believe you will feel compelled to take
an active interest in it and support it
| in every way"
Mr.. Meredith declared that the pro
ducts of the farm, raw or manufac.
tured. make a larger contribution tC
advertising space than all other indus
/ tries and institutions, and related how
| the work of his department had Z
| direct bearing on it.

of investigation of part-time and Co

This method of vocational work is
to be carried out in the Richmond

troops landed in Shantung four days
after she heard what had happened,
without giving China the least chance
to explain.
There is not the slightest reason
why Japan should now have Shantung.
When we sign the treaty of peace,
as l hope we shall, l hope we shall
be big enough to insist against taking
part in an international theft This
is all wrong, and l can not see how
any great good can be obtained
through perpetuating a great wrong
'If this is not struck out of the
league of nations covenant, there will
be 100000 people in the world
who will not have had fair play in the
league, for from the students who
first manifested determination against
the Shantung reservation, sentiment

classes and then to every class"
DR.. Dennis said he saw no justifi-
cation in England's hold on Thibet.
England's wrong on that side of Chi
ma is not so great as Japan's demand,
but her method of gaining more and
more territory through the lack of
strength of the owner, is not right,
he said.

from an educational point of view did
more for its students than Earlham
did.
