 "Mr. Harding and the republican party promised our boys who fought in the World war some small com- pensation as slight return for thcir services on which no price can be set. and before the prediction promise had grown cold upon their lips we find republican congress ment with republican president that the bill will be put through Congress vetoed by the President. and the veto sustained by the Sem ate Can our soldier boys. their fathers and mothers, their kinsmen and their friends, place any further trust in republican promises or in republican officeholders?
 One Achievement
 "The only legislation of any im- portance which the republicans have enacted during the present adminis- tration is the Fordney--McCum tariff bill which is accepted as being the worst tariff law that has ever been enacted. This law was passed by the republicans in order that the wealthy manufacturers might take out of the savings of the laboring man, higher prices for woolen cloth ing and for nearly every other ne- cessity of life in order that this wealthy class might be further en- riched at the expense of those who must pay the price of such tariff. It is estimated that this tariff bill will cost the people of the United States SC. 900, 900, ,000, and practically all of this goes to the greater enrichment of wealthy manufacturers.
 "This is a slight comparison only of the achievements of the two domi- nant political parties in national af- fairs. In our own state a compari- son of the record of the two parties brings out even more strikingly the fact which the people are beginning to see that under democratic leader ship and with democrats In all offices from constable to governor they can expect a government of intelligence and of justice and fairness and right to all the people. The democrats un- der Governor Houston drove out all the carpetbaggers and the republican scalawags and lifted the state from place of shame into one of honor and credit. The democrats of Ala bama believed, and practiced the be- lief, that the white man and woman of this state are compssent to rule and to administer the affairs of gov ernment at the same time. showing always that the negro will be pro- tected In all his rights under the law

 To Distribute Addresses
 "The state democratic campaign committee desires to carry tho mes sage of democracy to every nook and corner of Alabama and will undertake to give the state general baptism of Lld time democ- racy. At the recent democratic state convention. three fine ex- pressions of democratic principles and achievements were voiced by three of Alabama's prominent demo- cratic leaders. I refer to the speeches of Hon. James H. Webb. of Mobile, chairman of the state democratic executive committee; that of Hon. Ray Rushton of Montgomery. tempo rary chairman. and that Cf Hon. John H. Bankhead, IT,, of Jasper, perma- nent chairman of the convention. These speeches contained such timely and well expressed statements of the records of the two dominant political parties. the campaign committee regards 1t as being worth while to have such addresses printed and dis tributed among the voters of the state and this will be done.

 A Word From Mir. Kruk
 Although l have been away from Birmingham since 1914 after living here from 1908 until that time, have kept up with the growth and progress of the Magic City. yet in spite of this I was amazed the past week when I returned to see what really had happened during the past eight years,p said Mir. Krug.
 T lived in New York fer some time after leaving here where I managed the Bedell Store In that city. Tn 1917 I opened Bedell Store in Milwaukee, and in 1920, I opened the Los Angeles Bedell Store and with knowledge gained from living in these three important centers. l am more than ever convinced, of resources and its wonderful business possibilities.
 Tt is very pleasant to return here and to be associated again with MT. Johnson with whom I was formerly connected and whose invention and development of self service which has been partially installed at Steele Smiths and will soon be extended further through the store. has proven so successful.
 After living for the past eight in diametrically different parts of the country from New York to Los it's pep as we'll as it's wonderful climate, I am delighted tc be back home in Birmingham. once more. convinced that as place to work in and place to live in, 1t has no sCpericr"

MIR. COURTNEY TALKS
 Talking with them of their return to Birmingham, which was made possible through the foresight and fine business acumen of Mir. A. w. B. Johnson, president of the Steele- Smith company. who, recognizing the talent of these clever men brought about their "hcme-coming'' as joint managers of the big dry goods emporium with which both of them have been formerly connected, MT. Courtney said yesterday.
 Birmingham and Steele- Smiths Is home to me, for though I was born in the west, I spent my formative years here. and first went to work for Steele-Smiths thirteen years ago. I have been away for two years, and am mighty glad to be back home. Birmingham is wonderful city, the coming city of the south, and with bit more of the cooperative spirit developed by us all, 1t won't be so very long in the coming.
 T believe that we in this district are right now on the verge of an era of prosperity second only to the war-prosperity of a couple of years ago. but with the difference that the present prosperity will be sound and solid, whereas that of the war period was inflated and treacherous.
 Believing that a public institution of any sort, can profit only in so far as 1t renders a real public ser vice, we are honest and determined in our efforts to keep merchandise prices low in Birmingham, and We will positively do this through our 'Self-Service' plan which has been inaugurated at Steele Smiths thereby

Waiting
FOR noises

Many Americans are waiting, to
hear the guns roar again on the other
side of the Atlantic. There is profit
in it for them.
Others are waiting to hear the roar
of the blast furnace, and the sound of
the hammer, and the hum of the saw,
and the song of the man in the field.
There is profit in. these noises for
them. There is also peace, and hap
piness, and contertaent.
We coined money during the last
war, but we paid dearly for our rich
es in the end.
And there are those who are ready
to coin it again under like conditions.
The person who would see the raw
ages of another war for the sake of
personal gain is a poor American. He
is not an American at all. He is not
even a man.
He should be invited to close the
door softly behind him as he boards
an outgoing ship, and forget to re-
turn.

OUTBREAKS Of
HOG CHOLERA

Madison, Wis.-Serious outbreaks of
Hog Cholera have occurred in several
southern Wisconsin counties accord
ing to reports received by DR.. J. T.
Purcell of the State and Federal De-
partments of Agriculture. Walter
Clubhouse was the first one to suffer
losses in Dane County, with a loss of
over fifty head. Reports from several
other counties including Grant, La
Crosse, Jackson and Fond du Lac also
show losses.
Every effort is being made to check
the progress of the disease and to pre-
vent its spread to neighboring farms.
This disease, however cannot be cured,
but it can be prevented, and the time
to do this is while the hogs are still in
good health. The only rational meth
cd of prevention and control is the
administration of hog cholera serum.
By vaccinating every year while the
animals are young, and the cost of the
| treatment therefore not so heavy and
by establishing a system which will
prevent round-worm infection, the
swine industry will be protected
from its two greatest enemies.

INSURANCE
AVAILABLE

The Insurance Drive which is being
staged amongst the ex-service' men
and women Of the states of Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin, to enable
them to reinstate and convert their
Government Insurance is drawing to
a close.

ful as the following figures will show:
102 conversions.
73 reinstatements.
$452, 800 worth of insurance converted.
$454,0 900 worth Of insurance reinstated
An outstanding feature of the drive
has been the cooperation secured from
various agencies. The Association of
Commerce, realizing the benefits of
Government Insurance to those enti-
tied thereto, is cooperating with the
Veterans Bureau and has issued a
bulletin to the members of that body
who employ eX-service men to bring
the matter to the attention Of every
individual, if possible.
The Bureau is also in receipt of
letter from the Equitable Life AssUr-
ance Society Of the United States of
fering the assistance Of its sales force
of some rs people in the reinstatement
of this insurance.
Large numbers of men have made
inquiry and many are both reinstating
and converting the maximum amount
allowed 900. Ex-service men who
have been negligent in this matter
should reinstate NOW, and thereby
assure themselves, their families and
dependents the protection and benefits
afforded by policy with the Govern
ment.
Do not forget by converting now you
pay a smaller premium, you are build
ing up a cash and loan value, your
limited payment policy will mature
earlier and last but not least, year
from now your disabilities may pre-
vent your reinstatement and CONVEX
sion of insurance.
Information can be secured from the
District Office, IA E. Congress Street,
Chicago, H., or any of the Sub-Dis-
trict Offices throughout the three
states,
