THE PLEA OF ARMENIA

As direct result of the speech of Ambas- sador Child atsthe Lausanne conference, in which he reiterated the American position with respect to equal rights for all nations and justice to small people, there come ap- peals from the Armenians for recognition of their right to a square deal. The Armenians ask for definite capital and definite as- sgnment of territory, within which they may follow their own customs and laws, estab- fish their own tribunals, and be free from the unjust oppression of centuries.
 In this situation there Hes the duty of the powers to impose upon the Turks those ob- legations that every sovereign government owes to it's subjects. In stead of trading the powers owe it to themselves and to hu- manity to establish justice where there has always been oppression and injustice. The Turks want to return to Eutope, and the powers are on the point of permitting them to return. Yet what guarantees have the powers required of the Turk as preliminary to this concession? What right has the Turk to demand 1t? What word has been said to the Turk regarding his indefensible massacres, robberies and general violence upon the persons and property of unoffend- ing people? The civilized powers cannot af- ford to compromise with government that will not extend the ordinary guaranties of fitness to govern.
 I Armenia presents concrete case. Is that people to be abandoned to almost certain retribution for it's boldness in seeking liberty, and left at the mercy of periodic outburst of fanatic frenzy; or is the Turk to be made to understand in no uncertain terms that such practices must cease? It Is test of civiliza- tion that the allies are now passing through. How will they respond to 1t?

A LITERARY PROBLEM

From the Pittsburg Chronicle.
 Salesmen in book stores are so much ac- customed to having people mix up authors and titles that an inquiry for Noah Web ster's orations or Daniel Webster's Diction- ary disturbs not their equanimity. But a clerk in western shop was surprised when a young lady came into the establishment and said:
 q want to buy present of book for a young man."
 ''Yes, miss, what kind of book do you want?"
 "Why, book for young man."
 "Well-but what kind of young man7'
 "Oh, he's tall and has light hair, and al- ways wears blue neckties"

In Hotel Lobbies
Trend of Times

1t is easy to make the assertion that something is wrong with our educational institutions without of fering any concrete proof that such is true," said s. o. Mckinley, Texas educational worker. But there is one situation that requires no proof to demonstrate the tendency of the times. l attended college football game last year where the gate re- ceipts showed an attendance of 34,- 900. At the same institution an in- tetcollegiate debate drew an attend ance of 475. This was not in my home state, but my home state is no exception to the general tendency. l am not confirmed joy-killer, but it might be well to ask if such sit- uation is to be commended"

THE WAY HAS BEEN FOUND

All plans to extend financial assistance to farmers meet with sympathetic consideration, because farming is recognized as the one indispensable industry, and therefore it's problems are of vital national concern. So the administration program to extend the function of the farm loan banks, to make needed loans available to small farmers, and to make more liberal the period for which loans are issued attracts wide attention. In- asmuch as the nation is committed to tho farm-loan bank policy, 1t Is well to make the benefits of such bank open to every farm CT. large or small. The average farmer who is in debt for his holdings lives under the constant threat of foreclosure, to say noth- due to the fact that his land is mortgaged. All this flinders his greatest efficiency, Is disturbing and prevents his putting his whois mind upon the business of farming. That portion of the proposed measure which would loan money on crops, however, does not appear to be 20 pertinent, especially as there is federal farm cooperative law in accordance with which the farmer may so organize his business as to obtain all needed credit at his local bank.
 Through the farm bdreau and the policy of cooperative marketing the farmer has been able to sell his stuff systematically, avoids depressing of prices due to dumping, obtains loans on products in storage, and receives the full value of his crops. This plan has worked successfully in the marketing of orchard products, of tobacco, of grain, of cotton, of wool and of truck crops. It has not been completely extended to include the producers of live stock, but that is de- velopment soon to be expected This system of administering the farmers business af- fairs has received the indorsement of bank CTS everywhere, as convincingly shown by their willingness to extend loans R goods. 70 handled.

GETTING THE DATES MIXED

This one is of the vintage of the days be- days when the regular army was few regi- ments scattered along the frontier, and the state militia was whatever and whoever ap- peared in the field on muster day.
 Muster day was the big annual event in the lives of the young men of the states carved out of the northwest territory On this day the colonel-more often appointed on account of his oratorical ability than his knowledge of military matters-called>th the youth of the hustings together for a looking over. Majors, captains and lieutenants vied in getting out bumper attendance. Some were "critter' companies, which meant they were mounted on their own horses, and some were afoot; all without uniforms and none with complete equipment.
 Private Nels Garrett Sf the "Raccoon Blues," company of the Indiana rifles, ex- pected corporalship if things turned out right. He called his squad for meeting the night before at Karn's still-house. Fortified by large drinks of Karn's "singlings," Nels' squad was ready for man or devil as they filed out before daylight for the trudge across the hills to the point of rendezvous.
 Old man Slade and his aged wife also had it in mind to be on hand early. They cut across the woods and through the little graveyard and were just coming over the stile as Nels and his party hove into view in the uncertain light of the newborn morn.
 Nels had expected everybody to be at the muster, but he was scarcely prepared for this. Yet, if he was to be corporal, he must take the initiative.
 "Go on back" he cried, waving his, arms to the apparitions on the burying- ground stile. "Go on back. This here ain't Res surrection morn. This is Raccoon Blues muster dayr"

None should more appreciate what the Panama canal means than Alabamians, for whom it has shortened the distance to the Pacific coast, the Orient and west South America. That low-cost freight transporta- tion gateway, which we reach with our surplus< production through the seaport at Mobile has developed business that brings in more and more millions. Alabamians should the more value the canal be- cause, although it is not where John T. Nor gan would have had it, it came as the result of his three decades of insistence that cana! be built.

Seldom week passes but some success ful Birmingham concern announces an in- crease in capital to be invested in expansion of operations, an expansion which is justified by what has been proven and the growing demand for product based on it's merits. There is no more convincing evidAnce that this is place in which money suitably in- vested will bring a good return. Northern and eastern capitalists have their eye on this expanding process and denote a growing tendency to have part in it.

The good news from Andalusia is that the meat packing plant belonging to Swift 6 Go. at that place is to resume and operate on a continuous schedule. There appears no good reason for the abandonment of opera tions at this plant, there being a steady supply of hogs and cattle in that vicinity The south does not regard with favor the purchase of successful local plants when it is followed by closing them down.

Beggars. Pass One

Transient beggars will find a different Birmingham this year if they single out this city for the usual winter pickings," said Fred A. Gull ley, superintendent of the city well fare department. We have too many cases that deserve public con- tributions to tolerate the usual num- Der of migratory solicitors of funds. If man needs work, we will help him get it. If his case demands immediate funds, he should not hest tate to come before the welfare de- partment. But if he has chronic habit of begging, Birmingham is the city he should avoid on his tour"

State Fair Needed

It seems unfortunate that the Alabama State Fair will have to be abandoned next year." said R. T. Jones, Des Moines insurance man. '"This is matter for local consider ation, but to one who comes from one of, the states in which the an- nual fair is a2permanent institution, it appears strange that a factor of such importance should be aband- oned. There is some good reason for the action that has been taken, but feel sure that when one season passes without fair there will be some idea worked out whereby Bir- mingham will have great fair each veal"

Adrift With the Times
Fed Up

Now let simple fare be spread, On turkey meat we're surfeited. To tell the truth, remarks are heard Reflecting on that tasty bird.
 'Tis natures law that they who stuff As if they cannot get enough,
 Must pay the price in great disease Of that which formerly did please And brought forth paens of delight They simply cannot bear the sight.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day has always been high water mark in the year for the Birmingham schools" said Dr. c, B, Glenn, superintendent of public schools. ''It is one of the most helpful and joyous days we have. To concentrate for one hour the attention of the youth of Bir- mingham upon thoughts of gratitude to God for His manifold blessings, and the translation of that gratitude into unselfish offerings for the poor is an opportunity for character building highly valued by the schools"

Thursday was the record for a safe and sane holiday" said Serg. L. T. Elzey, desk sergeant at police headquarters. "Anyone will admit that national holiday is not day on which there should be an excep- tional number of arrests, but the facts show that this is the usual re- suit. From all reports people in Bir- mingham were too busy with big dinners and other gesd things to be- come enmeshed in the tolls of the law.n

From the Centreville Press.

From the Centreville Press.
 The Alabama Technical Institute and College for Women at Monte -vallo has put in four-year course, which will raise this institution to an A-grade college. This is a state institution, where a girl or young woman can enter and get training in home economics, which has been greatly neglected by some of the colleges for women. For home makers, this course fits them to be independent and at the same time make home that is worth while.

Making Better Citizens

From the Foley Onlooker.
 Compulsory education by taking cheap child labor out of the fields is one of the greatest agencies not only for promoting education in the south, but also for increasing south ern prosperity. Children, both white and black, will make more money for the south in the schools than they would for us in the fields, besides giving us at least the inesti- mable advantage of an intelli- gent citizenship.

The Habit of Neatness

From the PIckens County Herald.
 We know of good citizen who makes practice of casting his eyes over his house and grounds from day to day. If an axe or spade or any other articles have been dropped where last used, he picks them up and places them where they belong. It is the same with any thing else that may have tendency to litter up the place. The result? His place is always neat, and clean, and orderly, and attractive to the eyes of those who pass by. There are other good citizens who do the same, but there might be many more than there are.

It has saved in the pockets of the farmers of Autauga county alone annually S10,000 in commercial fertilizers. It has saved that amount in other products. In addition to that it has helped create q better market for our farm prod ucts. Every farmer of Autauga county should join the Farm bu- reau, and if every farmer will join 1t will prove power for. good, and will save not less than $&Q, ,000 in our county annually,
