 You are going to be called on again for service. How many times have you been called on in the past four years. So many that every time you say, well, this is the last time that ] am going out to beg for money'--and yet you go. Why? Because we are Americans; because we believe In help ing the other fellow, and especially when the other fellow is a little. in nocent, starving child. And lastly when we come to the final analysis we. and I mean by we the American people, have done very little.
 ...rhe drive for $50,O00 starts Janu- ary 31 and ends February 5, and you fo ha oc od n 0f "a hours each day until we have reach Cd cur quota. Won't you do this for suf- fering humanity? For those little starving children? I believe you will do your part and am going to depend on your cooperation and help.

 CT court, the coal companies not
 only have the right to eject min-
 CTS from houses owned by the com
 panies. but they also have the
 right to collect attorneys fees

 Although the costs and attorlley's 8 fees in the cases are not definitely known. it is estimated that they will total about s5000o. It is said that some 1000 miners were defendants ir the ejectment suits involved Tn t,c c>> clsion, test cases being submitted to the supreme bench with an agreement between counsel for the operators ani the union that the decision in these should apply to each of the several hundred cases appealed.

FeW Bankruptcy Petitions Filed By Birmingham Men Allison of Federal Court Says Most of Them Handled Here Are From Communities Distant From the
 Mineral District

Of bankruptcy petitions filed in the United States court is evident in a comparison of the number of cases filed during the past four months with same period year ago, but few from the Magic City.
 Charles J. Allison, clerk of the court, stated that. while the increase has been very marked in some in- stances, 1t would in all probability slacken up as the spring months come on.
 q do not think Birmingham proper is affected much in this manner" he said, "as the number of bankruptcy cases here have been comparatively small!
 'The districts that have been hit

he hardest this winter are northern and eastern Alabama, where the small men have had to make settlements after going along as far as possible under loads which were al'st a little bit heavier than they C uld stand.
 Another thing which has affected these merchants is the conditions ex- i3ting in the wooden market and the fickleness of the cotton business.
 Beginning shortly, however, 1t ap- pears that there will be d general trend toward more stable conditions. and we do not look for many of these petitions"
 Actual figures have not been com piled in the clerks office, but it is estimated that the number of bank ruptcies is larger than any time since the slump in l9i4-l5. /

3Oo,ooo WANT FARMS

Illustrating the great cry for homes. Major Matthews stated that the de- partment of the interior had question: naires on file from 300.000 ex-service men who wanted to become land-own . CTS. A given per cent of these had been picked from the. files at random and investigated and 1t was found that the average wealth of these ex-service men was $4,So0. When the government had offered 77 homesteads in Wyoming, 2,200 ex-service men had gone to the trouble and expense of getting on the scene in the hope of drawing lucky number, although the mesquite brush had not been cut from the land and the water rights cost 1895 per acre
 It was also pointed out by Major Matthews that 250,000 American farm CTS are going to Canada annually, for no other reason than that the Canadian government is making an honest effort to get it's farm lands into cultivation
 Further outlining the work of the association. Major Matthews said:
 That the idea of advertising Ala bama may be free from boom methods, or over statement it Is proposed to have the federal government send its official photographer to make photos and booklets, dealing with general conditions and opportunities within the state, also to be covered In an attrac- tive general booklet.
 This official photographer will also make moving pictures of the general agricultural crops, live stock, etc. The moving pictures will be shown and the booklets distributed by men selected out of Alabama who have made a great success in the state in farming and breeding live stock. These men will be sent on tours of the eastern, central and western states where lands are selling at from $200 to S700 per acre. They will have their own operators and moving picture machines and each night will present to the farmers of such states as Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa in heart-to-heart talks the wonderful possibilities of Alabama"

THE PLAN

The plan upon which he is working. MT. Matthews asserted. was one care fully devised by the department of the interior to encourage the immigration of skilled farmers to this section. The organization is formed by reverse process or from the bottom up. A county Is first organized, with a coun- ty chairman and county committee. When all of the counties of a congress sional district are organized, a direc- tor in the state organization is chosen. When the organization is completed, these district directors elect the state officers.
 Birmingham. provided it puts forth proper effort, will become the head quarters of the organization, he stated, and will in practical effect become the home of state chamber of commerce.
 What we are trying to do Is to secure for the state the class of farm CTS that it needs" Major Matthews ex- plained. We propose to secure funds for carrying on the work by pledges made by individuals. These pledge cards are distributed at every meet ing held and have been liberally signed. When the organization is completed each county committee will obtain a list of all lands in the county that ate for sale. A duplicate of this list will be placed in the central headquarters, SO that a homeseeker can,, by stating his wants, find out exactly where ev- cry farm in Alabama that might meet his requirements is located. There is to be no misrepresentation, no bring painted pictures of conditions that do not exiat
