REGULARS
 SHOOT AT CLUB Crum And Dovel Tie In 5O-Target Breaking

Only a few of the old regulars found the traps alluring Saturday afternoon after the long, strenuous program of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday when almost thousand targets was shot by each man. However, few of the men still looked forward to Saturday with the same thrill and was on hand to see if they were in the same fine form they were in the first of the week. The first 90 targets on the program, was the distance handicap and this resulted in tie between R. c. Brown and I. NJ. Crum on the score of 45 each. Mr.. Brown being professional, refused to shoot off for the trophy and l. NJ. Crtlm carried the trophy nome. This was also the shoot to determine who should get a win on the Studebaker trophy. This also went to Crum on account of no shoot-off being had. This will give !Crnm chance to shoot off for this beautiful cup at tie time when the shoot-off takes place and each man who has win and his name en- graved on the trophy will be present. to compete for it. Next in this race was A., c. Chesney and J. P. Dovel, who went out with the score of E each. '
 Tie At Sixteen Yards
 The 30 16-yard targets resulted in a tie between l. M. Crum and J. P. Oovel, who snapped out the 50 straight k. v. Brown came next with AZ out of his 90, while A. c. Chesney landed 4G. Several shot the 100 single 1C;-yarG targets and of this match C.um landed 9l of them. J. P. Dovel broke 95 of LIS clays for second place.
 R. c. Brown made the best score that he has ever made on the Iittle ciays going out with a 92 out of his 100. Mir. A. c.

A GAIN IN PUBLIC HEALTH

Often the value to this community of the cleanliness of it's milk supply has been brought out in ways that are impressive. At a recent meeting of the Jefferson County Medical Society the milk supply of this city was given very high rating, comparing most favorably with that of any other city in the South. It might have found similar gratifying comparison with the milk supply of any other city in the land. One highly important result has been the decrease of sixty per cent. in typhoid fever since the laws regulat- ing the handling of milk went into effect
 This gain in public health should inn press the people with the importance of cooperative support in every possible way to still further control of sources of contamination of the food supply. That a very large majority of those who handle dairy products in this community have endorsed the principle of sanitation and are offering cooperation in its ob- servance is a source of encouragement to milk consumers.
 Birmingham must be protected against every preventable source of disease. Inn pure and adulterated milk is one of the chief enemies of the public health. Blr- mingham milk is well protected. But there are other foods subject to con- tamination. The work is still far from complete.

GOOD TIMES ON THE FARM

Those who speak of our declining farms may find it hard work to explain this years bumper crop, almost up to the maximum yield, with valuation of nine and a half billion dollars, exceeding that of any previous year. The fact is that several influences are operating to increase farm prosperity. Better methods and machinery are resulting not only in a greater yield per acre, but also in a greater yield per man engaged in the industry. A wider market for food products and the expanding foreign de- mand have greatly enhanced values of nearly all products of the soil. In one state in the wheat belt twenty-One banks that had discontinued have resumed busl- ness and eight more are preparing to do so. Their faith in farms has been vim dicated, even if tardily.
 But there is something the farmer may do now to protect himself against future depression. For it must be remembered that the actual intrinsic wealth of neither farms nor farm products was diminished during the period of depression. On the contrary, it was merely the market value which fluctuated because the farmer sold on a glutted market. If the farmer had been economically more able to finance his crop in storage the price would not have fallen nor would the farmer have suffered loss. He could have held his crop until conditions righted themselves, just as industrial plants must do. No in- dustry has all fat years, but lays by In

FREE CHRISTMAS BUYING

According to figures of the federal treasury department the United States went into the Christmas shopping period with approximately forty-five billion dol lars in bank. With this bulwark against poverty, there is reason to believe that this seasons Christmas purchasing will be the largest in the history of the coun- try. Estimates are that the first three and a half weeks of December will wit ness the expenditure of about billion dollars in Christmas shopping.
 Bank deposits increased nearly three billion dollars from June 30, 1923, to June 30, 1924, and the increase to De- cember was about one billion dollars. That gives some idea of the purchasing power of the American people, who spend more money for Christmas than any other nation. Added to this is the information that savings deposits, which always 3uf- fer more or less from the holiday spirit, amounted to seventeen billion dollars the first of December. Millions of dollars of that will have been withdrawn during

BESsEMER Y. M. c. A. ASSURED

It is not surprising that Bessemer went over the top in the Y. M. c. A. campaign. Such success was expected by those who are familiar with the public spirit and civic pride of the citizens of that com munity. Several of the leading business men of Bessemer put additional en- couragement into meeting of some fifty workers by making liberal subscriptions to the cause upon condition that the workers would raise a stipulated amount. This is regarded as a certainty, and the firms unidentified with that community are expected to subscribe sufficient amounts to complete the enterprise.
 Thus the people of Bessemer have every reasonable assurance that the com munity will have an institution that will be not only a credit, but a constructive influence in years to come. When the Y. M. c. A. enterprise was undertaken, there were some misgivings as to its success. It was not long, however, before it was seen that the combination of reso- lute purpose by the workers, the generous response by the community and the worthiness of the cause, insured success. The community is congratulated.

CHAMBERLAIN's BETTER COURSE

MT. Austin Chamberlain, England's foreign secretary, created some commo- tion in parliament when he failed to men tion the question of interallied debts. Perhaps the secretary thought enough indiscretion had already been committed by Chancellor Churchhill in his impulsive statement that England would expect simultaneous and equal settlement of the French debt on the same conditions laid down for payment of the French debt to the United States. Frances prompt re- ply that she was seeking no evasion of her obligation to England somewhat took the wind out of Churchhill's sails and re- vealed the undiplomatic haste with which he had spoken, to say nothing of the propriety of speaking without consulting his government. Enough harm has al ready been done to Europe by irrespon- sible statesmen, and there is sufficient evidence that responsibility of speech is A strong Churchhill characteristic.

 That is what the farmer must do if he is to rise independent of those passing influences which have hitherto operated to his cost. He is getting his money. He should lay it up as capital against rainy day, for the rainy day is inevitable. There has been much pressure on farmers to in- duce them to buy lavishly. The farmer should buy what he needs and what would make his operations more efficient and his net profit greater; but he owes it to his own best interests to keep back some of he cash for the financing of periods of market surfeit. Every other industry does that, and farming is simply behind the times in this respect. It is right that the farmer should equip his home with modern conveniences and his fields with proper machinery and his pastures with good stock, but there is in good times a possible margin for accumulate ing cash reserve. Some farmers do this. They are the ones who are not depressed by depressions

So long, old pal the years in passing shall
 not change you,
 Full well you'll know when each reveille
 sounds The morning sun shall but bring you nearer Your favorite spot, our dear old camping
 grounds, And as we march with colors flying,
 Step by step with us you'll go, With lifted head and eyes still smiling, Whateer we do you'll know, you'll know. So long, old pal, yet as the shadows lengthen, And Flights out" steals across the air, Your cherry laugh will give us welcome, And drive away our sorrow and our care, And as the years are slowing, passing
 You come to meet us, one by one, An, then, old pal, the fight 'tis finished, And ours the victory, fought and won. -Galton Moore, in Toronto Mail and Empire
