FOOD DEALERS ID
 AID WAR RELIEF

The Alabama food dealers will join with a nation wide movement among wholesale and retail grocers to feed 10, GOO orphans of our former war al lies of the near east
 W. M. Howe, regional director of the near east relief committee, has conferred with pr. Henry Edmonds, who is chairman of the Alabama state relief committee, and their conference had to do with the conduct of cam paign in the principal cities of the state.
 Mir. Howe was formerly national organizer of the National Retail Gro cers' association and met with repre- sentatives of local and state grocers' organizations yesterday. A luncheon was served at the Hillman hotel, Thomas J. Grimes president of the Alabama Retail Food Dealers associa- ton; Paul H Shropshire, president of the Birmi gham Retail Groeers and Butchers Association, and B. C. Ap person, secretary of both organizR- tions and editor of the Grocers Jour- naL being present.
 MT. Howe said The origin of this great relief movement among the gro cers in behalf of the starving orphans is an unanswersbie demonstration of the falsity of the notion that the re- tall grocers are the chief sinners among profiteers. Last October I re- ceived a telegram from the New York headquarters of the near east relief which stated that notwithstanding the contributions for the support of 12o,- 900 orphans had fellen short, it was deensed expedient to try and provide for 10000 more of the 100000 orphans as yst unfed. They were stalking the lives of 10000 children on the faith they had in the ability and willing ness of America to feed them. trust ing in a Divine Providence to make up the deficit
 MT. Howe left Saturday for Mont gomery, Selma and Mobile where To- cal committees will be arranged for the conduct of the near east relief work

If full vote is cast thers can be no doubt of the result. l would urge all not to be misled by the re- ports started by the few persons in Alabama who have expressed an opinion in opposition to the amend mont, an opinion not formed by the deliberate reasoning of an unbiased mind but an opinion which finds ex- preSsion in the hope that 1t will bring personal glory 10 those who rejected the wishes of the great majority.
 Alabama voted eight 70 one in favor of this amendment in 1920. The association now urges the voters to beat this record
 Tn voting for the ratification of the highway amendment, We urge all friends Of good roads to vote for the ex-service mems poll tax amendment. This amendment Is as certain of rati- fication as the highway amendment, but our gratitude for the soldiers. sailors and marines should be great enough to prevent a single vote against the amendment"

 IS BIG SUCCESS

Thorsby, January 2s.-(Special.)-- Community Rally Day" under the auspices of Thorsby Chamber of Commerce, was a pronounced success saturday from start to finish, as it was bound to be with the interested ganizations as the Ladies guild, Par ent- Teachers association, Thorsby Fruit and Truck Growers association and Thorsby Lyceum and Entertain ment bureau.

Bates Hall, with its spacious auditorium, was selected for the meetings and was well filled with an interested and attentive audience. Prof G. s. Starcher. head of the horticultural de- partment of the. State Agricultural college at Auburn, and ". S. Keller, chief engineer of the state highway department, were the principal speak CTS. Professor Starcher spoke in the morning on Successful Watermelon Growing and in the afternoon op Fruit Growing" Both subjects were treated In masterly manner and gave much valuable information to the many farmers and fruit growers assembled.

SHOALS INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION IS SET FOR NEXT MONTH
North AIabamians Plan to Demonstrate Natural Re- sources and Industrial
 Advantages of District

Albany, January (special)---A Tennessee valley, and Muscle shoals indutsriai exposition is to be held in Albany Decatur, the upper Muscle Shoals cities, the last 10 days of Feb ruary.
 This exposition is being fostered by the Albany Chamber of Commerce and the Morgan Kiwapfs club and promi- mont citizens of north Alabama.
 Owing to the fact that the attep- ton of the entire country is centeted upon Muscle Shoals, and that so many manufacturers are seeking nformR- tion about the Muscle Shoals district, north Alabamians consider it an op-. perfume time for an industrtal expo sition to demonstrate the natural re- sources and industrial advantages of the Muscle Shoals district and the Tepnessee valley country in general
 An extensive mineral and crude ma terial exhibit will be one of the fea- lures of the exposition that the great natural resources of this section, which are really a rival of the great Muscle Shoals water power, may re- ceive the attention of the manufac- turing world.
 This exposition will in many re- spects, resemble the Pageant of Prog ress exposition held in Chicago last summer, but will be devoted more 10 industrial development.
 Among the features of the eXposi- tion will be local and national manli- facturers' exhibits, mercantile e%hib- it's. educational exhibits, health ex- hibits, an electric and automobile, show, reproduction of Muscle Shoaisi industrial and scientific demonstra- tions, amusements and many speeial features. .-l
 Inquiries regarding the eposition are being received from all parts of the country and everything indicates that it will be of country wide inter- est and of great value in the indus trial development of north Alabama and southern Tennessee
