 The strength of President Harding's position lies in Americas power to dictate practically her own terms. He has made it plain that we sacrifice none of our rights guaranteed under the Versailles treaty, although it has not been ratified by the American government.
 One encouraging feature of the ex- changes now going on between Amer ica and foreign governments is their friendly spirit. It is safe to assume that the cordial relations which exist between America, France and Great Britain will not be impaired, even though there may be some protests against the American point of view. A great deal depends on maintain ing the solidarity of these three powers. To them is entrusted in large measure the maintenance of peace and the solution of the problems cre- ated by the World war.

Summing City

Birmingham is typical of what have heard about the hospitality of the southland," declared J. H. Woolridge of New York. Warm hearted recep tion of guests is the story I have lis tened to all my life. Realization Of the tale did not come until I visited Birmingham in connection with the bakers convention.
 Your residential section is one of the most beautiful spots 1 have ever seen. The South Highlands neighbor- hood can well be called the most won- derful setting for homes in the country. At least, it is second to none in any part of the United States.
 The magic growth of the city, with it's vast resources of iron and coal, stun any one on first encounter. Bir- mingham's future need not be prophe . sled by any one. It is too plainly written"

Our Greatest Asset

The Warrior river is our greatest asset, or at least, one of our greatest said Paul Earle of Earle Bros. Our faith in the Warrior is proven by our works, for we are regular patrons Of the barge line and have consignments coming to us on practically every trip of the self-propellers from New Or leans.
 We are also going to patronize the Warrior on shipments from New York via the Mallory line and have already ordered some goods shipped that way"
 Earle Bros. were charter patrons of the Warrior. They had large cargo of Worcester sauce shipped from Eng land to New Orleans and brought up the Warrior to Taylor's Ferry soon after Lock IT was filled. The goods were brought to Birmingham by auto mobile truck over a poor dirt road Goods now come from Port of Birming- ham by train and are delivered at warehouse door the same as if coming al-rail.
