ALARM HARDING
President Asks Probe Of
Alleged Distress In
Southern States

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Alarm-
odat reports of threatened "semi.
famine" coupled with an epidemic OF
neIIagra in a large section of the
Southern cotton belt, President Hard
mo today requested both the Public
Hath Service and the American
Red Cross to make immediate in
ypstigation and report what could be
done by the federal government tt
relieve the situation.
The fullest cooperation Of all fed
oral agencies in the relief measures
was promised by the president, who
declared that if found necessary con-
gress would be asked to pass special
legislation. He urged that no time
he lost in ascertaining the actual con
ditions and applying to them an eff
fective remedy.
The threat of famine and plague"
the president wrote to the health
service and the Red Cross, seemed
to arise from the fact that depressed
markets had made it impossible for
the people of . large section of the
South to sell their stocks of cotton
The resulting shortage of money, he
said, apparently had deprived many
thousands of the variety of food
necessary to ward off pellagra.

of the county supplemented by the young women from the Livingston normal. There were number of handsomely decorated cars in the procession, and it brought back the queens who rode through Birmingham's streets during the semi-centennal
 The weather Wednesday and Thursday was simply ideal. The crowds on both days were large and enthusiastic. I never saw the slightest friction or impatience during the two days. Everybody was friendly and out for good time. President Willingham and Secretary Coleman and T. M. Tartt, treasurer, together with the various heads of departments, were constantly on the job looking after the interest of the exhibitors and the pleasure of the visitors.
 The fair was one in which it was unneces- sary to have side shows or imported attractions. It gotten up by home people for home peo- pie. One novelty about it was that everything was open and free, and no one was bothered about money. It was really a kind of home- coming set amidst a fair. It was a great suc- cess and just watch out for the one to be staged next year.

LICENSE DELINouENTs

''The people of Jefferson county were slow in purchasing their automobile tags this year, said Bert, Stiles, "but on the last day of the month they made up for it. All previous rec ords in the number of tags issued in one day were broken when 2,590 licenses were sold on that day.
 From the time our office opened there was a line of people reaching to the door on the Twenty-first street side of the courthouse, and so large was the crowd it was nearly midnight before we could close the office.
 "There also large number of busi- ness licenses issued that day. and people who had waited until the last to get their licenses were most anxious to avoid the penalty of 15 per cent, which was added November l."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
HUNTERS GET BUSY

''When news spread among hunters in Bir- minghan that the first deer of the season had been killed in Jefferson county, they immedi- ately began to.want to get down the old gun and go hunting" said John H. McCollister, sec retary of the Jefferson Fishermen's and Hunt ers' association.
 "The honor of killing the first deer goes to R. E. Strickland, of Inglenook, and it was killed in the western part of the county near the War rior river. He secured over 75 pounds of veni- son from the deer.
 "There is more game this year than there has been for number of years, because of the dry spring of the year just passed. Spring rains detrimental to game, for they drown the young and, therefore, there is less game the following fall. This year, though, has been ideal for both fowl and animals

LETTERS TO EDITOR
cRITIcIzEs LEGISLATURES ACTION

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 An extra session of our legislature has closed and aside from the bonus and bond bills with few minor necessary laws, a chapter is writ ten into Alabama's code thatswill put our state on record as the most unprogressive, small sized state in the union
 There is a reason for all things and when legislatures can use their office to wreak veng- canoe on a great body of their citizenship we know we have the right granted us by our con stitution to speak out and speak plainly.
 Governor Kilby was not prompted to call the special session to pass the soldier bonus and road bills so much as he was determined to wreak vengeance on the man who carries a union card, and he did his job well. It will be long time until the goating over victory stops. The writer is not union man, neither is he a capitalist, but he knows that great wrong has been committed and Governor Kilby and certain members of our legislature are guilty.
 |, would ask our governor and our law mak- CTS two questions, and expect an honest answer to them both.
 1. Why should it be necessary for the labor ing man to have to fight for justice, for we know that every good little thing he has today has been gained by bitter, painful and organ ized effort; won by the only method man who works can use--the same method employed by capital-organization and the ballot.
 9 If Governor Kilby and certain of our law makers were tradesmen, making certain line of work their life work, would they be union men or not? Of course, know their reply to the last would be affirmative. Why, then, this spirit of vengeance? Because certain men who have coal mine interests near and dear, why wreak vengeance on all?
 Is it because you blundered at a critical time and are trying to kick the horse when a fly bit you? It is this spirit of vengeance that wrecks governments. It has spelled the defeat of every one who was a party to the unwholesome business, not by the votes of the working man alone, but by those of the sane and thoughtful average man and woman.
 Do we really want to avoid industrial strife?
 Forever rid our country of strikes and their evils? Then instead of making laws as were recently passed let us have laws that will make it unnecessary for the men who toll to lay down their tools in protest. Let the man who hires know that the man who works for him is human being also, with hopes and Aspirations, very much like his own and that just enough to eat and wear will never satisfy one any more than the other.

BUYER AND SELLER HAVE BETTER UNDERSTANDING

Fear is expressed that some of the industries the textiles and lumber included, will kill the goose that is laying the golden egg of renewed prosperity by advancing prices above conserv- ative margin of profit. Recent advances are pointed out as indicating this tendency
 But the American buyer has learned how to stop buying when prices are too high. He has become quite adept in getting out of the market.
 Prices have not followed theoretical lines but common sense. Americans would not buy when they reached absurd levels. They can repeat what they have done and the industries (knowing this, will not again mark up prices without careful consideration of the result.

MEN, WOMEN
 AND I'll IN G $

The Sumter county fair exceeded even the expectations of the Sumterites, both as to the variety of the exhibits in all departments and in the attendance. The judges who came from Auburn expressed wonder at the showing made.
 The hog show, which was featured by the number of pure breeds exhibited by the Boys and Girls Pig club, was really an eye-opener, even to those who attended the Alabama State Fair at Birmingham and the Ala.-Miss. fair at Meridian. I heard people who were present at both of them say unhesitatingly that the Sun- ter County fair made by far the best showing.
 The agricultural exhibits were really very fine, and the work done in arranging them by citizen of Sumter county was most artistic. was so impressed by his decorative ability that I>made an inquiry concerning him, and wasn't surprised to find F. S. Long of Cuba, who did it had at one time been in the service of the Southern and arranged exhibits at fairs all over the south
 The poultry show, while good was not in the same class as an exhibit as the hog show. It is true that some fine birds in all classes were shown, but there should have been more of them, and I am sure that there will be next year. The turkeys were highly complimented and the mere sight of them was reminder that Thanksgiving Day is not far away. .
 The school exhibits were attractive and tastily placed in the courthouse. The tent shelterng the health exhibit was always full of interested people, as the charts were instructive and those in charge ready to give any informa- tion along health and sanitary lines. Without doubt the sensation of the fair was the won- derful woman's display in the city hall under the charge of Mrs. Henry Mellon. The old curi- osity shop on the stage with the treasures gathered in the east by Dr. J. S. Hough, would cause enthusiastic talk anywhere.
 The cattle exhibit was large, in spite of the fact that no animal not born in the county could not compete. I expecting fine showing in pure-bred cattle, but the thing which gratified me most was the showing of colts I saw some fine mule colts and some beautiful mares. I think one of the prettiest saddle horses ever saw in evidence on the streets. The wild west riding by Nixon, Shaw and Johnson, local riders, gave the crowds many thrills
 The football game between Cuba and Liv ingston drew we'll Talk about rooters, never saw better lot than the Cubanites and the greater part of the singing and rah-rahing was done by the girls. Cuba sent 223 school chil- dren for the parade, which was great one with it's long line of children from all parts

STARS COMING

Birmingham people will have an opportu- nity to see some of the biggest and most pop ular stars on the stage this season. said Brown Parks of the Jefferson theatre, "as We have booked many who have never been to Birming- ham before.
 Among the first to come will be Jane Cowl, who comes week after next, in Smiling Through
 'Do you know that it is probable that oc- tavus Roy Cohen of this city will write her next play? It is most remarkable the wonderful success this southern boy hasmet with and we are indeed proud of him. If he does write Miss Cowl's new play, it will indeed be other added to his many successes"

ONE ON THE MAYOR

From the Boston Transcript.
 During an examination in an English, school the inspector began to question the pupils OF punctuation when the mayor, a pompous ildi- vidual, interrupted with the remark, "It is fool. ish to bother about commas and suchlike." The professor flushed angrily and turning to one of the boys he bade him write on the blackboard. ''The mayor of Cheesington says the inspector is fool" H
 "Now," he continued, "put comma after Cheesington and another after inspector" Tie boy did so. The mayor got his lesson and he kept quiet after that.

DIvINA CoMMEDIA

By Longfellow.
 Oft have seen at some cathedral door
 laborer pausing in the dust and heat,
 Lay down his burden and with reverent fee Enter, and cross himself, and on the floor Kneel to repeat his paternoster o'er; K Far off the noises of the world retreat;
 The loud vociferations of the street Become an indistinguishable roar So, as enter here from day to day,
 And leave my burden at this minister gate Kneeling in prayer, and not ashamed to pray
 The tumult of the time disconsolate- To inarticluate murmurs dies away, While the eternal ages watch and wait.

MARKED BUSINESS PROGRESS
 MADE IN OCTOBER

Business improvement has been more marked with each week of October, The greatest n- crease in loaded freight cars in months is re- corded for the week ending October 22, when the total was 962,292, an incerase over the per cent of that of the same week in 1920 and only 14,000 cars behind the same week in 1919
 The increased movement included practi- cally all commodities, showing that business generally has almost caught up with the same period in 1920 and 1919.
 The low record of the year was 5000 cars for a week in May. The record around July 1 was about 100000 cars under the October 22 week.

BOYS NEED BUILDING

''The Boys club has been doing someocoui- mendable work in the past few months" said R. A. Gully, superintendent of tho organiza- tion
 "We are hoping that some day we may have large, completely equipped building of our own in which to teach the boys of this city how to construct rather than to destroy. We have taken care of about 200 boys at an average cost of $10 boy.
 Several of the civic bodies Of the city are lending their assistance to the cause and it is hoped that all of them can be interested as soon as possible. The clubs can render a great deal of help if they can be interested in the work that we are doing with the boys"

GIRLS AS NEWSPAPER READERS

From the New York World.
 Editors no doubt may profit from the in- formation as to what college girls find most interesting in newspaper, as disclosed by census of Radcliffe students.
 To begin with, specialized news about women makes little appeal to them; of the 600 stu dents to whom a questionnaire was submitted, only four gave the 'womans page" preference as against IA votes for the sporting page and six for the comic sections. Sixty-two per cent read the editorials regularly and 25 per cent registered preference for editorial com ment Twenty-three per cent said that the gen eral news attracted them most and 38 per cent confessed to predilection for headline reading
 Perhaps college girls read the papers aJout s the rest of the public does, though possibly with a less avid interest in sports. But it would be instructive to have a similar poll of mems college for comparison. It was found that 96 per cent of the Radcliffe students read the newspapers habitually and, as the answers b the questonnare show, intelligently. Is the percentage as high "up the street" at Harvard?
 At all events, the exhibit of lively interest y college women in the current news of the world is commendable. Newspapers are now adays read in class in some colleges part of the course of instruction. But their most inn portant influence is exerted at the students breakfast table. In reading them regularly the Radcliffe girls wisely follow the old precept that nothing of human concern is foreign to their. interest. Xl

ENsLEY GROWING

After having lived in one house for 20 years, it seems very odd to change to another location,' remarked R. W. Russell.
 q have lived in Ensey in the same house for 20 years, but I am forced to move further out on account of the growth of the business section. When my house was built little thought the town would grow like it did, and so we located then at what was considered fair Iy far out into the residential section, but now there is going to be stores erected at our very front porch, so we have decided to move out further"
