ARMISTICE DAY, 1921.

"A year ago AfUlSIICe Oay udWAeN
on a restless, unsettled world. No.
vember II, 1921, finds the United
States, at least, in a more sober, re-
. Elective mood. As we look back over
the past three years we realize that
we are still paying for the victory won
in the world war.
When the American nation finally
entered the great conflict every other
nation in the world knew that we
were in the war to stay until the last
die was cast. 1t seems that all think
ing men must have known that this
country with it's immense resources
and it's race of hardy men, who were
fairly -straining at the leash to get
into the battle, would bring victory to
the allies. Undoubtedly the majority
of people in this country felt that the
United States had delayed almost too
long and the men who went overseas
reflected this spirit. No finer fighting
organization drawn from an un-
trained military people was ever as
sembled on any battlefield. We all
know how the great war ended and
we remember the wild joy of the first
Armistice day in 1918; a joy which
however in thousands of cases was
overshadowed by deep grief.
Today our joy over the termination
Of that great conflict is just as real
as it was in 1913 but it has been tenn
pered by time, just as the hand Of time
most mercifully heals even the deep
est wounds.
In our national cemetery at Arling-
ton, the highest officials Of this coun-
try, the representatives from the pow
erful nations of the earth and thous-
ands of our countrymen will pay
homage at the grave Of an unknown
soldier who died on the fields Of
France. With these ceremonies the
whole nation honors all our unknown
dead, our men who paid the ultimate
price of victory in the world war
This is altogether ftting-no honor
is too great for those men who died
for us.
On this Armistice day, however, we
have, besides a sense Of joy and rever-
ence for the dead, feeling that we
have not yet completely finished the
fight. There is undeniably sense of
depression in the air The wheels OF
industry are not spinning as rapidly
as they might and there is considera-
bic unemployment We are merely
confronted with such condition as
has followed every big war in history
and the American people who played
their part so we'll in 1917 and 1915
will surely not be found wanting
now. Business is better than many
men will admit and nothing will do Sc
much to improve conditions as little
sense Of optimism 1t is the weakling
who loses heart and the American mer
are certainly not race of weaklings
We are still supporting our charitable
organizations quite literally and they
minister to the needy so there will be
very little actual suffering in the coun
try. Most of US are in no distress
whatever. There is a healthy spirit
abroad and the average man is be-
ginning to be satisfied with steady
employment where he can earn fail
days wage with a fair days work
We are getting our feet back on eartl
and it is up to each one of US to treat
the pathway, which after all is com
paratively smooth, with head erect
proud of the achievements of ou1
country in the past and ever confident
of her future.

Put agriculture on it's feet and this

STATE GUARDS ARE
 COSTING HUGE SUM
Controversy Between Miners and Operators Already Has
 Cost State $200,000

Montgomery, January 19.-(special)- Alabama's expenditure in the ni~-a- tenance of national guardsmen in the coal strike district since the nnlon mine workers quit in September has been more than $200,000, and if the strike continues until the middle ot the year the state will spend more than $l,O00,000. This unexpected call for funds means that the surplus whicn Governor Kilby hoped 10 create, or rather to use in the retirement or all classes of the states floating indebted ness during his term is being used, and that the state will be unable to show the record which friends of the administration foresaw last year.
 However. Governor Kilby has in-
 formed callers that, regardless or the expenditure. he could not be brought to the conclusion that the troops should be removed from the strike zone. He has placed protection ot life and property above the saving oi money and is determined that the sol diers shall remain on guard until therc is no longer any indication of trou- ble Of course. there is much con demnation now as a result Of the con fession duplicating members of tne ' national guard in the lynching or Wil- liam Baird, union miner, but Goverhol Kflby, not condoning the lynching ana promising that the executive depart ment will back the prosecution to the end. does not believe the entire ma tional guard organization Is bad, be- cause a few have been implicated Tn nffensa a against the law.

 . SHOWS HIGH TOTAL
First Three Months of Season Will Register Aggregate
 Sum of $270,910

Montgomery, January 19.-(SpeciaI.)- Shrimp -catchers of the gulf coast about Mobile will receive s270.910 for their catch during this season if the results of their efforts measure up to those of the first three months of the season and the market prices remain stable, according to estimates com- pleted by John H.

No figures have yet been made public the value Gf oysters taken from the waters of Alabama during the season.
 Practically all the revenue derived from the shrimp and oyster industries now goes to citizens of Alabama as a result of the passage of a law in 1919 which levies tax on foreigners who take oysters and shrimp from Alabama waters and transport them to other states for canning. The law has caused shrimpers and oystermen iron, other states to plan for the location Of Their plants on the gulf coast of Aia bama.
 It has been charged that citizens oi Mississippi have been coming into this state and removing shrimp and oysters to canneries of Mississippi, although There was no reciprocity between the ktates and the laws of Mississippi prohibited the removal of shrimp and oysters from the boundaries of tha state.
