She chose lntalGble Flour to bake
 Birmingham's Birthday Cake

At Birmingham's birthday party recently, when the city entertained President Harding, her citizens scurried about pre- pairing the very best of everything for his entertainment. As one of Alabama's most gifted cake bakers, Mrs. T. w, Elliott had the distinction of baking the Presi- dents cake and she, indeed, upheld her laurels, as the cake won admiration from all who attended the party. Without hesitation, Mrs. Elliott chose Sauers Infallible Flour to be used in the cake presented to President Harding, for she knew from experience that Infallable is unexcelled for the finest baking.

The fact that Sauers Infallible Flour was chosen in this instance, when the only consideration was quality, proves again that it is superior in every way for the finest cakes and pastry.
 Christmas season is here and it is time to prepare your holiday baking. The flour that was used to bake the Presidents cake will be just right for the Christmas goodies which you are going to bake. Your baking, like that of Mrs. Elliott's, will win admiration if you use Sauers Infallible Flour.
 Have q sack of Intallible sent artb your ne'a order of groceries.

Washington, March CA campaign deliberately planned to force out of busi ness any bank not complying with the par collection order was charged against officials of the federal reserve bsnk of Atlanta, in a brief filed today in the supreme court by a number of coun- try banks of Georgia
 The banks appealed from court deci- sons upholding the authority of the fed eral reserve board to insist upon remit tance of depositors' checks at par.
 "One of the embarrassing, annoying and expensive expedients to which the defendants intend to resort" the brief charged, lis to accumulate checks drawn on country banks in the state of Geor- gia. until the aggregate is large amount and then. sending a special messenger to the bank on which the checks are drawn demand payment in currency Such course would inevitably drive a small bank out of business
 Tn addition, the appearance in a small town of strange person and his subse- quent withdrawal under the eyes of the curious crowd of large sums of currency would in all probability result in an in- ned ate run on the said bank that would promptly put it out of business"
 Another method alleged to be planned by the federal reserve officials is the transm isson of checks to the local post master for collection. Adoption of these methods of coercion, the brief declared to be tyrannical and a prostitution of the functions of great institution
