He needs financial help. That he will have and the business of the na- tion will enjoy real renaissance.
 Mir. Wellborn holds out a prospect of special moment to this district in the evident determination of the government to hasten settlement with the railroads. That will en- able the railroads to buy the iron and steel required and, in turn, will find expression in expansion of the iron and steel industry of the Bir- mingham district.
 The provision made by the federal reserve system to help the farmer finance his crop movements this fall is the most important among the steps taken to bring about bet ter business.

MISDIRECTED MAIL

From the Grand Rapids Herald.
 | TIT seems almost inconceiyab1e. but 1t is reported as an official fact, that $50, 900 pieces of misdi- rected mail are handled daily at the New York postoffice, which includes Manhattan only This means that l2175o,o00 misdirected pieces are handled every year in this one metro- politan cepter. It requires no im- agination to appreciate what this means by way of hampering and slowing down the postal service. Great armies of postal clerks who might otherwise be engaged in facili- tating the general service are thus tied down to the problem of rectify- ing the mistakes and supplying the omissions that are chargeabie to careless correspondents We Amerf- cans sort of take our postal service for granted. We kick like steers when one letter out of, the millions handled daily goes astray or is de- layed a few hours; yet we are so neglectful of our own responsibilities in this connection that we pile thou sands of pieces of misdirected mail into the postoffice and expect that the postal machinery can and must in some way surmount our own negligence.
 The New York situation is merely typical of the situation in every other city in the land. Take Grand Rapids, for example. Postmaster Hogadone says that, as nearly as can be estimated, the local posto ffice handles 5000 pieces of misdirected mail every 24 hours; and in addition thereto, about 10000 pieces of mail are received without street addresses It requires the full, time of five clerks here in Grand Rapids alone to cor rect the addresses on misdirected mail. The mail without complete ad- dress causes loss of time to dstrib- utors who could otherwise have been employed in handling properly the fully addressed mail, thereby making

MINE HOST HAS DIsAPpEARED

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 There was time, so at least l gather from my reading acquaintance with the past, when mine host of the inn was q breathing and beamlng reality. q cheery human fact, his inn stage setting for him as he stood in the doorway to receive tho guest
 ] can recall no specific example O.. thts worthy and hosptable man. nor deccrates, yet he stands vTid y enough in my mental picture ook, dressed 1 know not why, in tight brooches. red waistcoat, buttoned over his round and ample stomach with many brass buttons, and an apron over the waistcoat and brooches.
 Mirth radiates from his blue eyes, ant q smile loses itself in his plump ana ruddy cheeks. Travellers know him. and the acquaintance is bond of Inlon between men wno nigh, otherwisc remain strangers.
 But men no longer wear brooches. except for riding or golf. and inns. although they are again increasing in number as result of the in- CT easing number of motor cars, no locger make a stage setting for a hest. Perhaps there never was such a Lost as l like to imagine.

Wonderful Corn Crnn

T was up on Sand mountain last week." says J. D. Arnold, and saw a wonderful corn crop. The cotton planting was about one third off and while the stalk is good the boil weevil began at least a month earlier than last year and is doing great damage though the farmers under County Demonstrator Draper are making a hard fight to get the best of the pest.
 The sweet potato crop is fine and it looks like it will be handled more successfully than ever before as quite a few potato houses have been built to cure the yield. The apple crop is not much but the peach crcr is fine"

Pessimism Will Not
 Aid Ford's Cause

~ RANGES for Henry Ford to se- NJ cure the Muscle Shoals plant are not being advanced by those who declare that sinister influences in and out of Washington are going to defeat the wishes of the farmers of the union and the nations spirit of fair play. Victory does not come to those who raise the white flag before the contest is we'll begun.
 There has been entirely too much pessimism on the part of those who should be preparing for an affirma- tive campaign. These doubters are looking backward. Things that were done at Washington and in state capitols generation ago can not be done now. Partisan politi- clans do not have their way as they
 
 were wont to do.
 The electorate of this country is more intelligent than it has been and better informed. It is not so easily led. It knows what it wants and has organizations through which its wants are clearly ex- pressed.
 The way to get Muscle Shoals for Henry Ford is to work to that end with the view of winning and not in half-hearted way on the presump- tion that people smarter and strong CT will prevent the consummation of project so dear to the great az ricultural interests of the country and the southern states.
 If we who want Ford to secure Muscle Shoals pull together with all our force and don't count the obsta- cles he will win.

gravitate, has created a tax def

gravitate, has created a tax defi- ciency that must be made up by the infliction of additional burdens.
 While the tax-exempt securities already issued cannot be eliminated, the issuance of more securities of this kind may be prevented by an amendment to the constitution, just as the income tax was provided for. Senator Shoot has prepared bill to start the ball rolling, and the senatorial bloc has bill to the same effect.
 The Investment Bankers associa- ton, on the one hand, and the Amer ican Farm Bureau federation, on the other, have included it in their pro- gramme. Congressman McFadden is strong proponent of the idea Leaders of the most diverse ele- ments of thought are in favor of eliminating the tax-exempt security.
 The theory of tax exemption is wrong. It assails the community idea. Society is based on common purse made up of equal contributions according to the ability of >every member of the community. When ever that principle is departed from the result is a higher tax to pay for the exemption.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Interest in Freight Rnter


 The Age-HeraId makes no mis- take in giving the citizens of Bir- mingham and the merchants of the outlying towns the exact data as to comparative freight rates out of this city and others said Judge C. c. Nesmtth Neither should The Age Herald think for one moment that this data is not read and appreciated. It is the kind of stuff we need to realize just how much we depend on and what we can do here In Ala bama if we act fairly by one an- other.
 There are thousands of men in Birmingham who have come from the outlying towns and understand their wants They realize the advantages which now exist for these places to do business with Birmingham whole salers and, when they get that good information in The Age Herald they are prepared to pull for Birming- ham in an intelligent and convinc- ing manner"

Marion Is All Agog
 Over a New Sensation

TYR. GEORGE T. HARDING, O father of the President, is keeping up the family reputation of being "just folks." The doctor, a widower TT years old, got lonesome, although everybody knows him in Marion, O., so his thoughts natural ly reverted to Miss Alice Severns, his office assistant, whom he had known for 25 years.
 Without even informing his dis tinguished son, Dr. Harding and Miss Severns quietly, if not sur reptitiously, left Marion and were married at Monroe, Michigan. An employe of President Harding on the Marion Star broke the news to the White House.
 Marion's Main Street" turned out to honor the couple when they re- turned. Dispatches describe pr. Harding as wearing a dark suit and an old Civil war style army hat, even to the gold braid," while his blushing bride of 52 summers shared in the congratulations of the towns people.
 During the stirring days when Marion was overrun by newspaper reporters, Heading minds" just plain politicians and hundreds of visitors drawn to the little Ohio city by the presence there of the nations next President, many were the stories told of the doughty doctor, not emitting one episode in which he nearly came to blows with life long friend Therefore, it was no surprise, except possibly to Presi- dent Harding, when it was announced that he had "el:ped" in the most approved fashion and had given Marion something else to talk about besides the greatness of tour War ren."

From the Kansas City Star.
 N unusual thing has happened A\ in what is commonly known
 as "railroad circles" A rail- road has gone out of business. The Missouri and North Arkansas, oper- ating 346 miles of track, between Joplin and Helena, Ark, closed down for lack of operating funds.
 The road has been in the hands of the United States court for some months because of financial difficult ties. But the United States court could not keep it going, and. there Leing no reserve fund set aside for the purpose of operating railroads. there was nothing left to do but stop the operation. It is tough luck, any way, for the little towns and the country places along the Missouri and North Arkansas. To them the Missouri and North Arkansas was the line of communication with the out side world. It wasn't much of a rail- road, to be sure, but it was all they had, and they made use of it. There were times. no doubt, when they broke at least one of the Ten Com msndments abusing it for delayed trains and for poor connections. New ertheless. it was railroad.
 T wouldn't ride on that railroad if had to walk instead,' man from a big city said to a kansan once as they rode along the highway in g motor car and saw a "jerkwater" train on branch road go by.
 "Yes you would" replied the Kansan. If it was the only road to your town you would ride on Its mixed trains and there would be oc- casions on which you would be mighty thankful that the old land lubber was in. operation
 It pakes all the difference in the world if the road happens to be the only road into the old home town. You pack your grip and take the "jitney'' to the depot" and wait un- till noon for the ten thirty" to ar rive. The agent cannot tell you where the train is, or what delays it. All he can tell is, at least all he -H i'll tell you. is that "she ought to be here now.'' And when it finally comes snorting and puffing into the station, making as much noise as real train. you climb into the coach at the rear end of a-strins of freight cars and walt while the trainmen switch out some empties' and switch in a.

The Old Typewriter

From the Florida Metropolis.
 Come, let us do honor to the type. ritter in the country newspaper of. flee!
 It is the most versatile of ma. chimes, without taste in ribbons, ab. solutely devoid of mechanica idioyncrasies and loyal to it's purpose to the last degree.H
 The contemporary story of Ameri- can life is being written on this typewriter-the story of Main street that throbbing center of our national existence which. although it does not receive as much publicity as the metropolitan center, is the balance wheel in our economic and social systems.
 Aside from it's editorial duties, the country newspaper typewriter is a sort of community something every Tom, Dick and Harry uses and takes for granted the privilege. The average subscriber of the country paper feels that he is not being recognized unless he is extended privileges in addition to just getting the paper. The right to peck away on the editors typewriter is regarded as one of these privileges. Maybe it is presumption, more likely it is the editors fault-or, on second thought is it fault But how many editorials and country newspaper editorials are the sincerest in the world would have been written if the type writer had not been busy!
 This typewriter, however, does not confine itself to editorial duties. It assists in the advertising, circulation, business and good will departments, and in so doing operates in excess of the hours set by the most liberal union in the world. It demands neither oil nor ribbon, accepting each, at rare intervals, as matters of course.
 In policy the orntry newspapei typewriter is constructive. It has community vision, practical out look on life and moulds public opinion at it's will. Bolshevism is lacking in it's spiritual and meehani- cal make-ups. Bolts and springs may be missing, and often are, but like the best citizen in the community. who, in spite of physical infirmities, labors on the typewriter in the coun- try newspaper office rattles on. + knows no death, but 1t does know year-in and year-out Service.

Words of Cheer From
 Governor Wellborn

M B. wELLBoRN, governor of 4Vllo the Sixth federal reserve bank, reiterates the assurances here tofore given by the reserve system and other federal departments that the farmers of the country will have plenty of money with which to move their crops. These funds will be available, he says, at an exceeding ly low rate of interest"
 : The farmer wants no more than that. He has proved his ability to withstand the severe blow that he was struck in the sudden and drastic curtailment of his profits. He has produced another crop of bumper aixe on the most economical basis,

WEIGHT loF EVIDENCE

From the Los Angeles Times.
 Gen. Charles G. Dawes was discus sing the New York civil service com missions rating of World war vet erans as less than 100 per cent Amer can citizens.
 "The commission" he said, "apolo- gizes and declares it means we'll. but when it rates war veteran with a wooden leg as an so per cent Amer ican and stacker gets rated at loo per cent, all explanations sound fhmsy,

l 1t possible in many instances to give

 Some of the more common mis-
 takes, locally observed, in address, ing mail are noted as follows: Ad-' dresses are written hastily and illegi- bly, often in lead pencil; pencil au-
 dresses become ,obliterated in ths the names of firms, postoffices and states are confusing and invite trouble; for instance, contemplate the similarity in the abbreviation of Pc" for Pennsylvania, La" for Louisiana and la" for Iowa; also Col" for Colorado and Gal" for California. Unless all the letters in these abbreviations are written very plainly, there is danger of mistakes Street addresses are often omitted
 (also the regional direction-NE., SEE, NV. and SW.--on city maiD; and obsolete mailing lists are the bane of postal existence.
 All things considered. it is really wonder that the postoffice makes as few mistakes as it does When one thinks of the 5000 misdirected pieces of mail in Grand Rapids daily
 and 350,000 pieces in New York and when one multiplies an average 1igure by the number of postoffices in the country, it is necessary to cons fess that the people do not do their whole part in the matter of postal efficiency. If we are going to throw stones, we mustn't live in glass houses We are all demanding of the rostoffice department that it turn over new leaf" under it's poppy new Washington chief.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
THuRspAY,s TRAGEDY

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 In the account of the killing Of Rev. James E. Coyle by Rev. E. R. Stephenson. published in your paper today there appears statement from me about Mir. Stephenson hav- Ing left the Southern Methodist church. Your reporter has quoted me correctly But l did not intend to reflect on any man or any church by my statement. Mr. Stephenson will, of course, be tried by a jury of his peers and they will say whether he is guilty or not He left our church voluntarily after he and I disagreed about his staying around the court house for the purpose of marrying people.
 know nothing of the events lead ing up to this tragedy except what is published in The Age Herald today. From the account given in your pa per the difficulty was purely person. al. And while everybody knows that there are wide differences between the Methodist church and the Roman Catholic church, both as to doctrine and practice every good Methodist every good Christian and every good citizen will join together in lament ing this awful tragedy. This is no time 10 air denominational differences or to stir up church animosities. This is a time for deep humiliation and genuine sorrow because of this very sad occurrence in our community. Respectfully, ROBERT ECHOLS,
 Presiding Elder of the Birming ham District of M. E. Church, South
