CHINESE FAMINE
 SUFFERERS NEED AID AND MUST BE HELPED

Atlanta, May 6.-Bshop W. R. Lam buth. veteran missionary bishop of the Methodist church, and one of the fore most divines in America, has, through the southern committee for the China fam inc fund, issued an appeal for co-opera- tion in the effort to relieve the present crisis in the Chinese famine situation
 "The China famine crisis is now on,' says Bishop Lambuth. Four weeks will decide the fate of 5,OOOOOO. They can and must be saved. Two dollars saves life until harvest.
 Save China and you save a people who call us friends Save China and you save one-fourth of the human race. America helped win the war. America can win this. fight Three presidents Taft, Wilson and Harding appeal for your help The Chinese appeal for help.
 will we turn deaf ear? Not so long as God is God and man is in need
 If wholesale loss of life is to be pre- vented additional contributions must be l forwarded, says the southern committee, making public the following cablegram from the American relief committee in l China:
 "The famine sufferers now receiving re- lief through the international committees number 5,445, ,22o The new distribution just made will add about 1,5o0,o00 making a total of 6,945,220 All American funds have been allotted
 Best wishes for the success of China famine week. Additional funds urgently needed"

0R 7I ITH an omniverous literary WhW appetite I seem to be af-
 flicted and all that comes may way" is food for thought" so am reminded that two more absolutely dissimilar books could scarcely be imagined than Corra Harris My Son" George H. Doran Company, Pub fishers, New York City), and ''The Mayflower" (Flor de Mayo). by Vim cent Blasco Ibanez (E. P. Dutton and Con- pany, Publishers, New York City).
 The one wholly and essentially American-indeed even nearer home than that, wholly and essentially southern-the other, fragrant with the exotic atmosphere of Spain-of the Valencia coast, with its sea gulls and it's sea spray, it's insouciant nor als and the dolce far niente" of that far-off foreign cline.
 have never read books which I have enjoyed more than those of Corra Harris; maybe it's because I'm so typ ically southern: further. maybe it's be- cause I'm so typcally Methodist; but al any rate. nobody has the human touch-the everyday, plain vernacular of us southern folk like Cora Harris, with her ingrained sense of hunor- Georgia humor Ca particular brand, you will admit)-and her efferVescent radiating, brilliant humor and wit.
 I shall never forget when I read "The Circuit Riders Wife" l positiye- 1y roared over certain passages of it like lion; it was so screamingly fun ny and original especially did I love the reference she made to the 'divi- sion" she originated in her own pe- cUliarly Methodist mind of the congre- pa at ha ae where her circuit-rider husband pres ched.
 The congregation" said she, T al- ways divide into three parts; the sai ints the sinners and the choir; and when somebody asked me how I liked the new tenor, I just couldn't help saying (despite the fact that I was afraid old Sister Higginbotham would have me turned out of church) that he sang like an angel but kept his marriage vows like a tom -tit.p
 Mrs. Harris declares that she was at heart a worldly woman. and could never have been an itinerant Methodist minister's wife, except that her hus- band had the witness of the spirit and was never alone anywhere and was always consigning her to it.
 l reckon the closest I ever came to the kingdom of heaven,' She observes, 'or Israel or any of the Scriptural countries, was the sense I had of union with William. who was a citizen of them all"
 Right on this strain does Mrs Harris work in her latest delightful. clever story, My Son"
 Her inborn hate of his being a Meth odist misunderstanding with the in eyitable circuit-rider's iob--in un- speakable country places and on through the small-town church--mov-

For Good of
 the Community

THEY are going to tear down two more A of the once fashionable residences on Fifth avenue to make room for com merclal expansion.
 Where Birmingham beaus and belless were once wont to sit on front porches and walk up and down sidewalks in the moon light telling one another delicious noth- ings, business has intervened and rele- gated them to the beautiful hills to the north and the south of the city.
 The Age-Herald building is no longer far out" On each side and in front the homes of Fifth avenue have given place to garages, shops and stores More than a half dozen of these old homes have been razed in the last few months Soon there will not be one.
 So grows the town in which the people of Birmingham live. So it has grown from the beginning. It has grown when busi- ness was dull as we'll as when 1t was at maximum. In fact, it has grown more in the intervals between height of business than at other times because in the quieter periods men have more time to think of the future and plan for permanency.
 The Chamber of Commerce has com pleted careful compilation of the indus tries of the district It finds total of 686 manufacturing, milling and mining estab- lishments now compared with 348 in 1918 when the last compilation was made. This is an increase of nearly 100 per cent for three years It is doubtful if any other district in the country can make as good showing.
 The variety of products made in Bir- mingham has increased as the number of concerns. There are 1900 different kinds of articles turned out by Birmingham fac tories, large and small.
 The first consignment of merchandise from the east via the Mallory and Warrior barge lines is coming up river from Mo- bile That is new pillar placed in the permanency of Birmingham as a jobbing center. The lower freight rate differen- tials enjoyed by Birmingham wholesalers mean that much more advantage in reach ing out for new and larger territory.
 A great Alabama product, Johnson hay, has been begging Alabama's own mar kets. It has been pronounced by highest authority more nutritious than Timothy and better live stock feed. Why has it not the market that it should have? The answer is the lack of prestige gained by any standard product whose merits are known.
 The Alabama hay raisers have joined in a movement to grade and standardize the hay before it leaves the farms for the markets. Time will soon come when Johnson hay, working it's way forward on it's merits, backed by grading and stand ardizing, will come into it's own
 A year ago there were two federal licensed warehouses in Alabama Today there are thirty-seven. There are thirty five more warehouses where the cotton raised this year may be stored and insured and kept, if needs be, while the holder bor- rows money on it at a low rate of interest. This is far better than blaming the cotton exchange for causing the low price of cotton.

little later 100000 was appropriated for
the board Of charities, in whose care the
institution is placed. 1t is now a frll
f1edged state affair, with staff, ,pay roll
and everything else that attaches it to
the state. treasury. So what seem; inno-
cent enough in the beginning soon assumes
such proportions, that no one has the
courage or disposition either, to attempt
to curtail it, and it becomes fixture.
The Herald rightly says, that the towns
think by getting their charges off onto
the state, they are saving something. The
fallacy of this is not made clear until they
see the proportion of their state tax.
