Washington, September 2T.--The inclusion of recommendations for the enactment of new laws regulating Sunday observerance and moving pictures in the call of an extrodinary session of the Alabama legislature by Governor Kilby caused great ex- citement In local headquarters of the Anti Blue Law League, he. today the inclusion of that topic was re garded by the league as the opening gun in campaign for blue" Sun days in Alabama.
 Representatives of the league will attend the legislative session and re- quest hearings fin behalf of the peo- pie in hope of halting the proposed encroaqhmenr on the constitutional right of self determination in the beginning"
 The leagues statement in part fol- lows:
 Some months ago the prediction was made from this source that Ala : bama would be the first field entered by the blue law advocates, 1t be- ing thought a special session of leg islature would be called in August Now comes the verification in the governors proclamation,
 "The Anti Blue League of Ameri- ca. has several hundred members in Alabama but no organized effort was put forth in the state when the leg islature was not called during the former agitation of the matter. The greatest difficulty that has had to be overcome all over the country is the disbelief of the people generally that there is any danger of blue laws" being enacted and this in the face of the fact that in 7f cities of the country during the months of July and August alone, blue sun day laws were passed or old blue ordinances resurrected and enforced.
 Also that five southern states, in including Alabama: and New Jersey and Indiana will have blue law agi- tation this fall when their lesisla- lures convene,
 Representatives of the league will be on hand when the Alabama leg islature convenes and a hearing on behalf of the people requested be- fore action is taken it being the hope to halt the proposed en- croachment upon the eonstltunal right of self determination at the outset. Failing in that. every line of defense will be thrown out With the hope of stopping the movement before 1t reaches the nation wide stage, the ultimate purpose or mis-

 Whereas! the United States suf- fers through destruction by fire an annual loss of life estimated at 15.000 human beings, most of them women and children, and,
 Whereas, most of our fire losses are due to carelessness and ignorance and may be easily prevented by in- creased care and education on the part of citizens;
 "Therefore, warren c. Harding, President of the United States, do urge the governors of the various states to designate and set apart October 10. 1921, anniversary of the Chicago fire, as fire prevention day with these principal objects in view. towit:
 ITO request the citizens of their states to plan for that day and pe- riod, through pulpit, through open forum and through the schools, sucn instructive and educational exer- cises as shall impress the public mind with the calamatos effects and threatened economic disaster or such unnecessary fire waste;
 ITO promote systematic lnstruc- tion in fire prevention in our schools constant observance of the ordinary rrecautions that safeguard us rom fires. and an orderliness in home ana community that we may overcome this lurking perii.'

PAY YOUR BILLS

Have you heard the story of the
man who found ten dollar bill Well,
he went home and showed the bill to
his wife. She reminded him that he
owed her ten dollars, so she would
take it for the debt Then the daugh-
ter of the family came in and saw the
transaction. She reminded the mother
that she owed her ten dollars for a
loan she had made her one day when
the mother bought a hat. About that
time the girls brother came in He
reminded the sister that he had loaned
her ten dollars once when she was
stranded down town. So the sister
gave the brother the ten dollars. Then
the father laughed. Here's where |
get my ten back" he said. Hand it
over" he said to the son. Don't you
remember the ten l loaned you when
your car was broken"
So one little ten dollar bill paid four
debts. Everybody was square, and
YET ONLY ONE TEN DOLLAR
BILL CHANGED HANDS.
At the present time everybody is
squeezing onto their money so tightly
that they are getting cramps in their
hands. AS long as money is boarded
IL ulSdIlS GIlelC It's Sll 10 obNPRNSt'
Money is like water If water remains
stagnant it becomes putrid and poison
Gus. If money is boarded up and debts
are allowed to become stagnant, 1t not
only hurts the immediate person to
whom it is owed, but it hurts every
body on down the line. If man pays
his grocer, the grocer can pay the
wholesaler. If the wholesaler gets his
money, he can pay the farmer and the
producer. If the farmer and producer
get their money they can pay their
bills. And so on it goes.
There are many men out of work at
present. Some of them deserve to be.
They have been getting eXorbltant
wages during the war and they have
spent it recklessly They should have
saved when money was so plentiful
and they would not be pinchei now:
But many of the men who are out of
work now are not responsible IN this
way. They are suffering because of the
extravaganza and greediness of others.
But there is plenty of money Just
noW-not for extravaganza, but for
the necessities of life. If every man
will deny himself the eXtravagances he
can gay for the necessities. If he pays
for the necessities it keeps money In
circulation, and all along the line 1t
will keep merchants and dealers in
shape to continue economical prices
that are beginning to come back.
So pay your bills. True, you may
not have as much money now as at
other times, but when you pay your
bills yeu will find that the money will
act like d boomerang-it will come
back to you. Everybody will be better
off, and when the money gets back to
you it will be able to work for you and
make you more profits.
