 Mrs. Reid has something to say for herself in the matter of successful achievement, although she is very modest and is loathe to acknowledge the many things of which she has been accused, however. the way she expresses herself on the subject is interesting, inspiring perhaps, many another woman to Ego and do like wise.p

 New Minister Arrives
 Rev. J. A. Lee of Plantersviiie, who accepted the call to the pastorate of the First Christian church will arr rive in the city Saturday and preach his first sermon as pastor of the church Sunday.
 Dr. Lee recently conducted series of revival services in the city and the call was extended to him following the revival.
 The church members have been without a leader since the removal of Rev. E. Fl. Hutchinson several months ago and the acceptance of Rev. Lee is very gratifying to the members.

nx DOLLY pALRYMPLE

Stories of the experiences and the achievements of Successful Business Women of Birmingham" would be incomplete without the name of Mrs. John B. Reid enrolled upon the roster, because no woman In Bir- Mingham, in Alabama, in the south, is more widely known, more gen. erally beloved and more highly qualifications than this deserving woman.
 A pioneer" in the world of bus mess women, Mrs. Reids experiences harlS back to the early days of the Alabama State fair, when the "Wom- ans department" with which her name is so indissolubly associated, was a mere venture, and when home products" made by the "stay-at- home" woman from the most in- terior counties of Alabama to the largest and most up-to-date cities were unknown and but for her en- ergy and splendid Ideas, would never have become a living wage to many splendid women.
 Mrs. Reid has all the qualifica- tons that go to make up the sue ecesful business woman: she has ability, plus brains; and tact; and above all she has heart as big as the universe, place in It for every man, woman and child of her ac- oualntance, and none has ever known anything but "the latch key" of her heart always open, bidding her guests a cordial welcome.
 Mrs. Reid's Versatility
 Mrs. Reid is the kind of woman who can do anything and do it well she could run a bank and make 1t successful, she could conduct a big steel corporation and make 1t pay; she could preside at cafeteria and have everybody talking about the excellence of the food; and she could just as easily "boss'' dressmaking establishment and turn out the pret- tiest of creations.
 In other words, Mrs. Reid knows how to get results she knows how to get the right people about her to execute the things that she hap pens to be sponsoring; she knows how to inspire people to work and best of all, she doesn't mind working her self, taking up the cudgels if every body else has failed and turning the apparently losing proposition into an overwhelming success.
 Mrs. Reid is probably better known in the business world, as I mentioned previously, than any other woman in Birmingham, her affiliations for the past year with the Alabama State Fair association giving her wide field to work in, taking her into the homes of hundreds of exhibitors

CONGRESS-.

Representative Griffin, of New
York, believes that congress needs 3
publicity agent, so that the countr,
may be informed as to what tina:
body really does. and especially as t.
what happens in committee meet
ings. A short dispatch on this sub
ject does not state whether Mr.. Grif-
fin wants to help congress or to in
crease the country's dissatisfaction
with the performances of that body
He is mistaken, though, if he
thinks the country does not have q
pretty good line on its senators an;'
representatives OF what is said anf
done in executive session there Is
a course. no record, but the voters
know without doubt that house snd
senator's have wasted practically {
year which was dedicated in solemn
lip service to sure-enough tax revi-
sion, tariff revision and sound legis-
lation for raising bonus funds.
Congress doesn't need publicity
agent-it needs more members who
can read and heed the demands Of
the people.

GOING TO CHURCH.

1t is a common impression thai
people do not go to church as they
used to 60. Yet a religious census
shows that almost 46,0O0,OOO Amer.
cans are regular church attendants
That is not SO bad in q population
OF about 106,000,0O0.
There are 100000 ministers in the
United States, including all denomi
nations.
If every member attended church
regularly the congregations would
average 23O.
Of course, many are still outside
the fold. Attendance is irregular.
Nevertheless, the churches are MAX
ing headway.
In the last five years more than
1000, 900 new members have been
added to the churches in this coun-
try. What news could be more i'm
portant than this!
Real civilization began with Christ.
Real progress is measured by the
extent to which His teachings arc
lived up to in daily life.

PAYING THE PRICE OF FOLLY

Folly is sweet while it lasts, but
the taste is bitter when we pay the
price.
While our troops were fighting for
victory in France the rest of US were
fighting for dollars at home-at
least the majority of us were.
Money literally poured into AM
erica from other countries in return
for our munitions and supplies and
foodstuffs. There seemed no end to
the stream of gold.
Prosperity came with leap. pro-
fiteering with bound, and insanity
outstripped them all.
Everybody made money-big mon
ey-and apparently the question up
permost was how to make it fly.
And it flew.
People who before the war coult:
hardly afford sewing machine sud-
denly blossomed out in fine raiment
and rode in expensive automobiles.
Nothing was too good or too high
in price.
Money was the only thing that
was cheap.
It came easily. went swiftly, and
forgot to return.
In the early days the foolish vlr-
gins went out without oil in their
lamps, and had no light.
The five wise virgins filled thei,
lamps, and had light.
The virgins remind US of our owr
people in the profiteering days.
Foolish heads of families spent
money like water. Now they have
water. but little money.
Wiser ones saved their money, anc
now live in comfort and plenty.
That is the difference between
wisdom and folly.
If the people had saved thei:
money instead Of squandering it ir
riotous living they would not be
feeling the pinch Of want.
Wise men saw the reaction that
was sure to come. They accumulat
ed all of the money possible and in
vested it in interest bearing securi
ties. They are now profting from
their wisdom.
Those who considered only the
pleasures of the hour are now won
dering how to combat the miserie:
Of the future.
They are paying the price of their
folly.
