Attention Is Called To Low Standing Alabama
 Occupies Educationally
(Stafe Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. l. The week of November 17-23 was des- isnated, as Education Week" by Gov ernor W. w. Brandon in a proclama- tion issued today calling on citizens to properly consider the needs of educa- lion. Education week is sponsored by the American Legion, assisted by the National Education association and the United States bureau of education.
 Following, is the governors procla- nation:
 The American Legion, assisted by the National Educational association and inc United States bureau of education, for the purpose of fostering a better citizenship through organized national effort. is sponsoring November 17-23 as American Educational Week.
 We cannot point with pride to the relative position Alabama has occupied among the states of the union in mat ters of education. One of the most dangerous enemies of the liberties of I,eoples is stalking abroad in our state. We refer to ignorance. It threatens the very soul of popular government. Amer ica stands ninth among the enlightened nations in matter of illiterarcy. We indorse the position of the American Legion that America should and shall stand first.
 We believe that education is the sine qua non of human progress. It is of the very essence of popular government. As long as government resist upon the opinions of men, so long will be the fostering intelligence and understanding the important and essential part of our national and state program. Good gov crnment can only be reflection of the will of an intelligent electorate actively exercised through the channels of the franchise. -
 Now, therefore, I, Willfnn ". ,Bran- tlon,+ governor of Alabama, do hereby proclaim:
 November TIPS, 1924, Educational Week in the state of Alabama.
 I urge the citizens of the state>to con slider properly the needs of our schools, the teachers and the children. The greatest monument community owns !s lofty principles for which they fought and died, the principles upon which the republic rests.
 May we join whole-heartedly with the American Legion in making this day never to be forgotten in Alabama's his tory.
 In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of this state to be affixed, at the capi- tol in the city of Montgomery on this, the 3Oth day of October, 1924.
 WILLIAM w. BRANDON,

|BANKHEAD MAKES IA POOR SHOWING
Democratic Chairman's Fund Much Less Than
 G. o. P.'s In Alabama

Announcement Saturday by J. H. Bankhead, Jr., of the list of contribu- tors secured -byAhim as chairman of the committee inEAlabama for the collec. tion of funds for the democratic national committee showed that only 23 counties of the 67 in the state were organized to secure contributions, as A counties did not report any subscriptions through Mir. Bankhead at all.
 The counties from which Chairman Bankhead secured subscriptions and the amount contributed in those coun- ties follow: Baldwin, $66; Barbour, SS7; Chambers, N$S.5O; Cleburne, $17.5O; Colbert. $103.50; Crenshaw, $75; Dallas, $25; Fayette, SIT; Greene, $3S5O; Hale. $21; Jackson, $51; lief ferson, $2.155; Lauderdale, $150 ; Lawrence, $515O; Lee, $8.50; Macon, S795O; Marion, $111.50; Mobile, $1 ,OS3.5O; Monroe, SIS; Montgomery, SIP; Tallapoosa, $127.50; Tuscaloosa SIT; Walker, $239.5O; Winston, $36.
 The official announcement by Chair man Bankhead confirms the statement recently made that the republican or ganization in Alabama for the collec- ton of funds for the Republican party collected more than the committee ot which Mir. Bankhead was chairman for the democratic national committee in the state.
 Those in touch with the situation were of the view that the failure to properly secure subscriptions in Ala bama was not due to any apathy on the part of the democrats to give, but a lack of organization and effort. In support of that view it was pointed out that the effort of four newspapers in the state, to help the party produced practically half as much as the official state or ganization under Mir. Bankhead.

 CALL TO LEGION
Veterans Asked To Par. ticipate In Observance
 Of Armistice Day
(state Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Nov. 1.-~J, Fred Johnson, 1Jr. department com mander of the American Legion, de pertinent of Alabama, today issued 3
 roclaimation to legionnaires of Alabama urging them to participate in the proper observance of Armistice Day, Novem' Der II.
 Following is the message of the legion commander:
 "Armistice Day, November Il, has been written into the statutes of Ala 'bama as a legal holiday. Let's ob' serve it properly. It is your day, com rades. Of course it is America's day But it is first of all your day by right of having established it. It is the an niversary of the day when you brought to successful conclusion the most ghastly war of all time. Tyranny was again put down. The kaiser, like dog with his tail tucked, was sent scuttling off to his Dutch retreat. American soldiery retraced in sacred blood the immortal principles which constitute the heart and soul of liberty. Again, the star of American destiny rode high in the heavens.
 "We must soiemnly and reverently re- member those, our comrades, who gave the highest measure of patriotic devo- tion. Green be the grass over their resting place and green be their memory in the hearts of their living comrades.
 But let us reflect the spirit of the day we commemorate by making this Armistice Day a day of thanksgiving, a day of patriotic jollification, and at the same time day of reflection, and re- newal of our loyalty, a deepening of patriotic ferver and quickening of civic consciousness.
 Its holiday. Forget for a day your business and professional cares. Join, or rather take the lead, in making the exercises of the day notable in your community. And conclude the day with deep resolve to be a better citizen, to keep faith with our more unfortunate buddies, to hold higher the torch which they from falling hands have cast to us. It's our day, comrades. Let's observe if
