Predicts Harding,s Election

H. Fontaine Little. whose home is in Sheffield, is a Birmingham visitor. MT Little is attached to Chicago headquar- ters of the republican national commit tee, and for the past several months has travelled extensively over the country In the interest of the republican party.
 Tn my opinion" said Mir. Little, the premier event of the present presiden- tial campaign, so far as the south IS concerned. will be the appearance oi Senator Harding in Chattanooga this week, and which will mark his only campaign address in the south.
 Senator Harding will speak in Chat tanooga Wednesday night and a rare treat is in store for those who will be fortunate enough to hear him. Senator Harding's Individuality is not flashy and spectacular. but he is deep thinker and withal a masterly orator. am going over to be among those pres ent' at Chattanooga, which promises to occasion.
 There are unmistakable signs that Senator Harding will be the next Presl- dent of the United States This is con ceded by democrats and republicans alike all over the country The ma jority of the people are against the League of Nations and, besides, they are restless for a change at Washington.
 Tn 1916 Senator Harding was chair man and delivered thea keynote speech of the convention, that nominated Charles Evans Hughes. He was a marked man for the presidency from that time on. predicted then that he would one day be President. Naturally, I've been Harding for President booster ever since.
 And I make the prediction now that he will make one of the best Presidents, comparatively speaking, that our coun- try has ever had"

/, sons of New York puts it, after read
 ing the plain statements of the two
 nominees.
 One striking characteristic of Sen.
 ator Harding is his lack of stability
 Soon after his nomination he began
 to straddle.
 Later on he virtually repudiated the
 covenant all together. But he now finds public opinion strongly in line
 with Parsons and other able leaders
 who have declared for Cox because
 he is for the League of Nations. It is
 the handwriting on the wall, so to speak, and he has got on the fence again. He is in favor of an associa- | ton having for its object the "dis- couragement of war" But his words
 are meaningless.
 The people wish to know yes or no whether Harding is in favor of the league. They cannot make it out from the candidates latest statement
 No utterance from a standard bearer could be weaker.
 Harding starts today on a visit to four cities--Chattanooga, Louisville.
 Indianapolis and St. Louis. Indiana is
 doubtful state, but why Chairman Hays has put Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri in the list of states that
 may possibly go republican is not easy to imagine.
 r Chattanooga, like Birmingham, and other industrial centers in the south
 has a considerable republican vote,
 but all such districts are found in the ucIuOCIdIiC COluulu Wucu eleCIlOH udy rolls round.
 The prophets at republican head
 quarters are, easily misled. It is a
 case of the wish being father to the thought.
 Hamilton county in which Chatta-
 nooga is situated, gave Wilson a plu- rality over Hughes of 1,131, and Ten nessee gave plurality of 36,698. In 1916 Kentucky's democratic plu- rality was 28,136 and Missouri's dem-
 ocratic plurality was 27,849. No republican of less than extraord-
 mary force or magnetism can over
 come these large totals. As a matter of course, Mir. Hard ing will be treated with due courtesy in the south, but that is all. The south will remain solid for years to come.

The Hesitatins Blues

People seem to have the hesitating blues when it comes to buying li- censes,' said Woolsey Morrow, chief clerk in the office of Judge J. P. Stiles. and, although the month of October in almost half gone. we have not issued anything like the number of business or automobile licenses that we should have.
 Not more than 2.5oo automobile li-
  censes have been issued when there are between 15,0oo and 10000 automo- piles in Birmingham. The longer own CTS delay. the larger the crowd will be the last few days, and the greater the congestion. Our office force is comparatively small and we hope that all owners will come in at the earliest time possible and not wait until the end of the month";

Reduction in Knitting Yarns

Reduction in Knitting Yarns
 "The' announcement of an important price reduction in hand knitting yarns has just been made by the largest man ,ufacturers of these goods in the United States" said E. B. Irwin of Caheen Bros.
 Word of this reduction has just been received by us from S. B. & B. w.. Fleisher. Inc. of Philadelphia, who manufacture more than 70 per cent of all the hand knitting yarns used in the United States. I1 is announced that the reduction will average between 20 per cent and 30 per cent in price. S. B. & B. w. Fleisher. Inc. state in their an- nouncement that while labor costs at present are higher than they have ever been. the reduction in price of knitting yarns is made possible by economy of production in their plants due to great fly increased capacity during the war, plus recent decrease in the price of raw materials.
 IS. B. & B. W. Fleisher, Inc, is one of the oldest yarn manufacturers in the United States, having been established over fifty-three years. They were the first American concern to manufacture hand knitting yarns. Their immense mills cover over sixteen acres of floor space and employ over 1000 people,"

I am sorry for the railroad executive who hopes to bridge the gulf between government and private control by using his old-fashioned spectacles and getting his focus on the days when railroads had free hand to do as they please, and the public be damned" Much pain and trouble will come before his vision if he clings to them, for we have passed into a new era. I know some will say there is no sich animaf' in the railroad world today But his tracks have been seen on the right of way, and shippers are out gunning for 1t.

If pays us to adUertise

Advertising is the me- dium through which this store keeps in constant contact with the women of Birmingham, Jeffer- son County and a large portion of Alabama. In newspapers, such as this one, large space is very costly-far too expen- sive to be used except to tell truthfully the news of our store.
 Women who watch our advertising have found that it always contains a wealth of interesting news. In responding they have not been met with a single disappoint- ment, and because they found everything just as represented-it pays us to advertise.
 Very frequently in our advertisements we offer limited quantities at very low price, and in telling about them sug- gest early shopping. For instance, a sale of suits at 1895, a sale of foot wear at two pair for 500, a sale of box sta- tionery at 25c and soc. Those features were ad- vertised with the sug- gestion that only could you avoid disappoint- ment by shopping early. We told the truth. In every instance the groups were exhausted before noon, and those who came afterward were disappointed.
 Great profits will ac- crue to you if you will watch closely and read carefully our advertis- ing every day, and when we say "come early" it is a warning carefully issued for your own pro- lection.
 Indeed, it does pay us to advertise-in fact it pays us so we'll to ad- vertise the truth, that we would be foolish to do otherwise.
