WHAT IT DOES

Col. w. G. Edens, an official of the
American Bankers Association, is
authority for the following words
of wisdom:
America has the best life on
this earth because it has the best adj
vertised life. American business
men are the most prosperous be-
cause they advertise what they have
to sell. American buyers are
shrewdest because they read the
ads and know what they are get
ting. Banking has made more
rapid progress in the past Is years
than ever before because banks have
advertised and are now advertising
more. The banker publishes facts
which build up confidence in his in
stitution. The result has been that
millions of people who used to be
afraid to entrust bank have come
to know that the ads they read are
true, and they are now regular
depositors.
Did it ever occur to you, Mr.. Be
lington Business Man, that if adj
vertising is good for a bank it can
be made to boost your business just
as successfully? Think it over

A GREAT SPIRIT HAS LEFT US
A great spirit has left Us.

A great spirit has left US
Thomas Woodrow Wilson, presi-
dent of the United States for eight
momentous years of our y'.teiy, is
dead.
Death must have been blessed
relief to this broken, suffering man,
a born fighter, condemned these last
four years to fight no more
History can hardly record more
meteoric rise to fame than that of
Woodrow Wilson. In 1910 he resign
ed from the presidency of Princeton
University. In 1911 he was elected
Governor of New Jersey In 1912 he
was made theDemocratic nominee for
President of the United States, elect
ed, and reelected in 1916.
In 1917, thirty four days after his
second Inauguration, he took the I'm
tied States to the side of the Allies
in the war with Germany, and won
the war
He sat with Lloyd George, Clemen-
ceau and Orlando, and made the Yer
sailles peace treaty 1t was Wilson
who insisted upon tipping the League
of Nations into the peace treaty. He
came back to America to tour the
country and stem the rising tide of
popular opposition to our entrance
into the League
In the midst of this campaign, in
the late Summer of 1919, he broke
down and became the same invalid
that he remained to the day of his
death.
Greatness in man is fortunate
combination of great qualities and
great opportunities. Woodrow Will
son developed within himself many
great qualities, and he used them to
the utmost when great opportunities
presented themselves.
If he was not irresistible in the
sheer strength of his logical appeal,
he was surely immovable in his con-
victions. Slow to adopt policy or
set course, he was unswervable
once his mind was made up.
What Woodrow Wilson did, the
manner in which he did it, and the
purpose for which he wrought assure
him of high place among the out
standing vgures in history.

WASTING TIME AND MONEY

Congress seems to have given up
all idea of enacting legislation and
has turnd detective. For several
weeks that body has been in session,
and during the entire time little if
anything has been done outside of
conducting Investigations and probes
that are costly to the taxpayers and
which promise to produce no real
benefits to anyone. Probing oil scan
dals, probing newspaper peace plan
probing an alleged whiskey ring in
the Capital, probing this, and that
and the other has kept congressman
so busily engrossed that they haven't
yet found time to do that which their
constituents sent them down there to.
do-pass laws that will help the pro-
ducers of this country get better pri-
ces and laws that will more evenly
distribute the tax burdens of this ma
ton. Isn't it about time that, we quit
taking our lawmakers seriously and
serve notice on them that their only
hope of another term lies in the
ability to make good during this one?

ARMS TO MEXICO

1t appears that your Uncle Sam
has started a good deal of talk by
shipping guns, ammunition and
airplanes to the Mexican govern
ment to be used in putting down a
revolution. There are some few of
our citizens who do not agree with
this policy, though admitting it may
turn out to be the best. Maybe it
doesn't look right for a nation to
preach peace and then encourage
war. But in this case it appears
that the best way to restore peace
in the family of a neighbor who has
really been trying to be peacable is
to help him end the war. Maybe,
too, it will bring the warning clans
in Mexico to realize that when the
U. S. says it will go long way to
keep peace on this continent, it
means what it says. At any rate
it is hard to see wherein any harm
can ever come from helping a ma
ton that is trying to be good in its
attempt to instill peaceful ways and
respect for law in few of its mis-
guided residents.

Some of the Democratic newspa-

country is going to the "Bow-wows

that is the Republican party had to

THE DEMI-VIRCIN
is BIG SUCCESS
John Glynn McFarlane
Makes Initial Bow
At jefferson

Playing in THE Demi- Virgin at the
Jefferson theatre Monday night. John
Glynn McFarlane made his initial APP
pearance before Birmingham audience
with the All-Star Jefferson Players.
Mr.. McFarlane's first bow was in the
second week run of the players here,

extraordinarily successful run at the

INVITE CHILDREN
TO SHRINE CIRCUS
Zamora Temple Host At Special
Program Wednesday

Zamora Temples band, one of its
most noted organizations. will take over
the Shrine circus Tuesday night and
have promised to keep things going at
lively clip.
1t was happy crowd that thronged
the grounds on Monday night and judg-
ing from the enthusiasm displayed, the
big crowd found the performance and
other features entirely pleasing. The
Shrine Luncheon club has charge of the
concessions and while the receipts were
not announced it is understood the club
made a great showing.
On Wednesday afternoon Zamora
Temple will be host at matinee to the
various children's organizations of the
city and county. A special program will
be provided and everything will be done
to give the children a good time. The
doors will be open at 2:15 o'clock

to start at 2 80 O'Clock.
The organizations that have been in
vited include the North and South side

part, while not as pleasing as that
played last week was, nevertheless
well interpreted. Her ability to play
the lighter bits of comedy equally we'll
with the heavier lines of dramatic tense
ness continue to be one of the high
light features of the company.
Richard Fillmore maintained the
lead set in 1.-THE Alarm Clock" as the
premier comedian of the cast. Along
this line, Mr.. Fillmore shared his sue
cess with Miss Helen Ray, who never
failed to produce a laugh when a laugh
was most needed. Other members of
the cast also showed up well.
The story, of The Demi-Virgin"
briefly was the story of how Divorce,
Gloria Graham, played by Miss Kath-
leen Comegys, endeayored to show up
band, Wally Dean, played by Mr.. Nc
Farlane, in order to keep the former
husband from marrying a friend, Betty
Wilson, played by Taingon Marker.
The windup sees reconciliation with
all matrimonial affairs, and other af-
fairs of the heart, fairly well solved.
There was one slight drawback to
the show, lying in the fact that the
lines seemed somewhat jerky. This
might have been due to strong use of
the scissors on the manuscript, and this
thought is especially strong during the
scene when, the two enchanting young
ladies appear with little more than
their birthday garments, and then try
their hand at that entertaining little
game well known as strip poker
though the actresses called it ''undress-
ing Cupid," or something to that eff
feet.
However, as a whole, the play was
well staged production. II. c.

Five in number, they add to the con-

The audience paid this troupe a unique
