Of stock. Post Mills is situated in a
quiet peaceful valley, surrounded on
all sides by rcck-ribbed hills, dotted
here and there by the fir and balsam,
suggestive of robust health; the
maple, sweetness of spirit; the white
birch, purity of heart; and the sturdy
oak, strength of character; while its
shores are Tapped by lake whose
beauty is so enhancing and whose
breezes so life-giving, that hundreds
flee to this haven of pure air and
sparkling water every season, thus
ADVANCING real estate values beyond
our fcndest dreams, and bringing to

of which are all interested in the
general welfare of the village; hotel
that furnishes more comfort to each
individual than any other for miles
around; a general store, grain store
and post Office run by men who try to
meet the needs of the public. We

Murder Record
 of Earl Shaefer

N ARL SHAEFER, who has been lC1 getting his mail at Flat Top for some years, is accused of an- other murder. Serving two life sentences and an additional sentence of 40 years for murder, he is charged with having made away with his fourth victim, convict who was believed to have been slain because he told the prison authorities of an alleged conspiracy of Shaefer and other convicts to dynamite their way to freedom.
 Society may we'll shake it's head over its Earl Shaefers, but what is society going to do about it? Here is man who may claim, with some truth, that he never had a chance to become anything else but what he is. Yet, society will not con cede that point. It will take the position that Shaefer is a desperate character, which, no doubt he is, and thus dismiss him. But what has the

To Adjust Claims
 of Ex-Service Men

S1 ORMER service men, who have U claims on the government to be adjusted, will be given the op- portunity of personally presenting them to the cleanup squad, which will be here October 3, 4, and 5.
 Not only the young meE who are interested, but their friends and relatives should bear the dates in mind and aid the soldiers in pre- senting their claims. The American Legion and the Red Cross will lend their help.
 The advance agent of the cleanup squad is already here and has estab- lished headquarters on the seventh floor of the Chamber of Commerce building. Whatever the nature of the case, the former service men will have the matter promptly ad- justed. Those who can get in touch with the advance agent, will find 1t to their advantage to do so, be- cause by this means they will have their cases in more practical form by the time the squad arrives.

THE PARADOX OF THRIFT

From the New York World,
 Sixty years ago Chauncey NJ. De- pew put s100 in Peekskill savings bank and let it lie By the ragic of compound interest-black magic, some would call it--his account now amounts to $500.
 Few men live as long as MT. De- Pew; fewer still would care to leave savings bank accounts untouched for SC years. But any young man of 2s-the average age at marriage has an Depreciation of life" of s7.25 years. He may fairly expect. that is, to be living at 65. and be interested in a scheme that would place him at that age beyond want.
 Say that John Jones begins at the age of 20 to put $500 a year in the savings bank. from time to time in vesting part of his money in safe bonds. At the age of 40 the children are growing up, he feels easier about money and for five years spends all his earnings. At the age of 4o he begins spending s2o0 a year more than he earns, and so contin- uos for 20 years. At the age of 65 he will have spent exactly as much as he has earned, but he will have a surprisingly large sum in stable in vestments for old age. It is simple problem of arithmetic. Anybody can work it out.
 As for MT. Depew, there Is really no reason why he should not spepd at least the interest on his $500 if he wishes.

 RADIO OPERA

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Lee Deforest. the wireless expert says that in a short time opera will be heard by wireless the world ovef The established opera companies need not contemplate the prospect wioh dismay.
 For opera impersonallv produced must always be wanting in eloments that constitute a large part or US attractiveness to many. There IS no chance to survey the glittering ana luxurious personnel of the boxes. There is no opportunity to ascertain who's who and who's present through the lorgnettes. Absent is the prom enade between the acts and the meet ing and greeting of old friends who may have been separated ever since afternoon tea.
 Opera is not merely an aural affair If is optical; 1t is social even more than musical. The wireless may transmit the sound, but it cannot transfer the scene. which includes the whole house and not the stage alone It is to be feared that opera by radio will be opera shorn of much of the radiance.

1 pie of Alabama until October 8.
 City folk have awakened during the past few years to the impor- tance of these events. They realize their dependence on the country as never before.
 The salvation of the state de- bends on cooperation between city and country in having farm prod ucts standardized, graded and so es- tablished in the confidence of the markets that they will sell accord ing to their intrinsic value.
 What the Alabama State Fair has accomplished in the improvement of cattle raising in Alabama would alone warrant its expense. This years exhibits in that department will be the best yet and Jefferson county will be especially interested in the calf club exhibit made by it's youthful farmers.
 The fair affords an opportunity to get smack of the soil and that is good for everyone, because all things hark back to the soil. It is an opportunity for men and women of the towns to mingle with their friends from the country. Out of that association will come the con- mon effort that will enable Ala bama, with three times the natural wealth in agricultural resources to accomplish some of the things that California and the Pacific coast have done through stern necessity.

THE POSITION OF FRANCE

From the Chicago Herald and Ex-
 aminer.
 "We want no war" declares Gen eral Foch. about to visit America, but we fear none. At the present moment the French army is so pow erful it could sweep victoriously over all Europe"
 Such is the report of his remarks to Lloyd George, as made by a French journalist. Maybe 1t is accurate. guess. And it represents French opinion.
 France occupies a peculiar position. To avoid bankruptcy she must either get many billions from Germany in separations. or she must cut off her present standing army of S00.o00 men except Russia's, by far the largest in Europe. and Infinitely the best equipped.
 Germany consents to pay. But she cannot pay in money She can only pay in goods. And if she pays In 
 goods, on the vast scale established, then France becomes economically de- pendent on German products. She is a conqueror who is at the same time vassal Her own products and her own export trade become utterly deranged. This she cannot afford.
 Then appears the alternative of military disarmament. But this. too, she cannot brook. Partly she is too fearful, and partly she is too proud. Her fear of course. is chiefly of Germany. whom she honestly be- lieves to possess a great army in secret; partly of England, whom she has been splitting off from more and more steadily for some time, as in the question of sending troops to the Ruhr valley. and in the problem of the assignment of Upper Silesia partly of Russia and bolshevism Bol- shevism she interprets as repudiation of the Russian debt to France.
 Her pride Is evidenced in the French report of Foch's remarks to Lloyd George. England has been upplsh of late, having her own way about the Ruhr and about Silesia; but. If nec- essary, France could sweep Europe"
 What. in the light of these facts. will France do in the disarmament conference at Washington? Will the dictators of her policy give up the possibility of sweeping Europe. and face the Situation of a nation not only economically dependent but also helpless against the possible attack ,, of Germany and Russia? Ask General Foch.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
CHARACTER OF MOVIE ACTORS

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In reference to Mr. Beardslee's let ter concerning my condemnation of certain moving picture stars now prominently in disfavor. would say that I infer from his letter that MT, Beardslee Is a just and reasonable man. As such appeal to his bet ter Judgment. when I plead for the cleansing of the moving picture sanctuary
 agree with him heartily where he states that high-cla actors who portray plays of real merit and beauty are pretty fine people. So far, so good. But unfortunately, for some time. high-class plays them selves have been in the hands of ac- COTS who undoubtedly had much stage merit, but who were sadly lacking in morals, Of course. no one would, for moment, accuse Fatty" Arbuckle or Virginia Rappe either of having desecrated play .oA iiHe libIS, anu IT IAc tnlnB ndlteu just there in it's phases. one might readily say consider the source, and let 1t go at that. There have, how ever, been good girls and men, too, who were an honor to the screen. but who have drifted away in the darkness of an unclean atmosphere, but who yet portray the nobler thing of life. Arbuckle's orgies were q crisis toward which many of our eetter stars are verging.
 From this tidal wave may the pub lie and the film companies take an opportune warning. In the mean time, may all honor and glory be given to those who still uphold the dignity of the screen.
 That you, MT. Editor, and Mir. Beardslee also, have the interest of Birmingham and the country at large at heart, I am glad to believe. So far as pr. Dillard is concerned, if he is a Christian, I am certain that he would receive Fatty" with open arms, providing that he manifested true repentance.
