•'w.® n,ark®tlnB committee of the
Dallaa County branch of the council
for national defense will hold a ses
sion this week to consider plans for
•141ns the farmers In finding * mar
hot for thslr products, which will soon
be ready for the consumer.
The indications now are there will
D* splendid yields of all kinds of food
crops In this territory this summer
•nd fall, and the problem of a mar
ket Is recognised as being the Import
ant problem Immediately ahead, which
concerns the business man as much
as It does the farmer.
Much of the farmers produce will ha
thrown on the market, under pres
sure of necessity, and it would be
•rlmlnal, it Is said, to allow It to be
sacrificed at heavy losses because
steps had not been taken to get in
touch with buyers who are ready to
pay remunerative prices.
John Blake, county farm demonstra
tor, says that since the' recent rains
an enormous quantity of peas, beans,
potatoes, and Mexican June corn have
been put ip the ground and all'signs
point to an unprecedented production
of these crops this fall. In a short
time, he says, the farmer will be ask
ing for a market for his output, which
he has produced In response to a na
'tlon-wlde cry that he raise foodstuffs
Mr. Blake, who speaks for the farm
ers, says It Is high time that those
who have this feature of the situation
In hand, should "get busy.”

Male Seeks Medical Aid.
Who ever heard of a mule, an old
grey mule, or any other kind of a
mule, going to a doctor Ijt treatment
of the colic? Yet that is exactly what
a Montgomery mule Is said to huve
done of hla own accord Saturday
night.
Tha atory is that the mute, the prop
erty of the Montgomery Ice and cold
storage Company, had been Iriven all
day to an Ice wagon and apparently
had. late in the evening, developed
ooltc. This, It Is said, the negy« driver
did ont detect, and about 7 o'clock
Saturday night unhitched the animal
from the wagon and removed the har
ness.
Then It was that tha mule ran of?
out of tha stable lot In North Mont
gomery and went direct to Fleming's
veterinary hospital on Washington
■treat, taking up a position in a Hall
he had formerly occupied. I'oiiCcmen
tlied to stop him several times as he
made his way through the crowded
streets of the elty.
Finally thA attendants at the veter
inary hospital found the mule in the
stall, treated him, and at last ac
eounts the animal was very much bet
ter.

TEN m PER TON
Revival of Water Trans
portation May Soon Be
come Necessary
(Special (a The Advertiser.)
MOBILE, ALA., July 18.—The dem
onstration that freight edn be handled
from one end to the other of Ala
bama's river system at a cost of ap
proximately tan cents per ton, not In.
eluding loading and unloading, over
head expenses of equipment or Insur
ance, has come as a revelation to many
Mobile shippers and the possibilities of
river transportation are being widely
dlA-ussed.
The steamboat Darling, of the Ala
bama Coal and Transportaton com
pany, brought 2,400 tons of coal from
Maxine, Ala., near Birmingham, at a
cost said to be close to |200 for the
six days trip, Including labor, fuel and
other expe.iees.
The actual expense of bringing this
coal here, however, was considerably
above ten cents per ton, for the barges
went back empty and this doubled the
operating costs with no returns, for It
costs as much to carry the bargee up
empty as with a fairly good cargo, and
the depreciation of the towboat and
barge Is considerable.
Coal Hate Five Cents Per Tea.
It has been stated that the use of
the towboat Volcano and barges, which
bring coal from Cordova, at the head
of the navigation on the Warrior riv
er, would be given the shippers of
Mobile with a Apt rate of five cents
per hundred pounds if enough freight
to Justify were afforded.
When the transportation of coal by
barges waa begun several years ago.
it was thought that the barges would
carry large quantities of freight up the
river, but this buslriess has failed to
develop and the barges, with a few
exceptions, have continued to return
up the river In ballast.
Several who operated barges said
that they expected to handle general
freight up the river but upon Thves
tlgatlon It was found that they would
lose money In doing so. In the first
place their empty barges were not well
equipped for handling anything but
low class bulk freight. Then, there
were very poor loading and unloading
facilities along the river and It was
impractical to carry large crews of
deckhands the delay Incidental to tak
ing on and discharging freight would
be more expensive than Justified by the
freight receipts.
Boats Moot Bo Coed.
Railroad experts say that aa war
shipping progresses, the facilities of
the railroads will be.taken up largely
In handling troops, munitions and sup
plies, which will mean that greater]
use will have to be made of the river.
The two river packets on the Tom
bigbee and Warrior rivers are now
carrying almost capacity loads, and
little additional freight cap be handled]
then, as it will be almost Impossible
to get additional freight boats, the!
use of the coal barges will be the only
solution, many assert.
It Is probable, however, that the coal
barges will handle freight only where
large quantities go to a point, and
where local arrangements for unload
ing, either by negro labor or by ma
chinery. are provided, while the river
boats will continue to servo local
landings.
WEATHER PREVENTS
LARGE ATTENDANCE
AT OPEN SERVICES
Taking Iiia text from the sermon
on the mount “Judge not, that ye he
not Judged," 8t. Matthew, seventh
chapter, first verse, Hev. E. E. Cobbs
Sunday afternoon declared that "as
you measure out your measure to
othera, so It will be measured back
to you,”
“The ten comandantn," he said,
“are not arbitrary commands, but
are fundamentals of the word of
God." To Illustrate that whether one
understands them or not, they must
be observed, he said: “Some years
ago In France the people undertook to
prescribe that the tenth day should
be a day of rest, when It was found
that man could not stand the physical
teat."
In spite of the rain just fallen and
another threatening, about 75 peo| le
were In the congregation. Miss Crom
well very beautifully sang “No Night
There
It was announced that hereafter
services will be held at the rrove In
Oak I’ark at 5:30 o'clock each Sun
day afternoon.
Brigade May Make Hike
To Training Camp Over
In Macon When Moved
General Steiner Hopes to
Be Allowed to March
The 250 Miles
MeMlUattea Om»,
Vandiver Park,
Nn(na<r7> Alabeaw.
Whan tha order comaa for tha Ala
bama brigade to movo to tha division
camp at Maoon, Georgia, whara tha
newly-created Tenth Division will be
assembled, the (.000 tanned and tough
ened Alabamians probably will hike
the £90 miles 'cross country, by far
the greatest march ever attempted In
recent years.
General Steiner Sunday aald that ha
would be glad to have the guardsmen
make the march overland to the Geor
gia camp, and that only a demand for
a quick movement of tha troops would
make the march Impracticable.
It would require somewhere In the
neighborhood of thirty day# to make
the trip tq Macon, following out army'
■ egulatlons on marching, and It may
be that the war department's plans
will call for'tf'gulok move of the Tenth
Division’s first brigade.
To Review Regiments
With the Second Infantry and the
First Cavalry back In Mobilization
Camp, Montgomery, plans are complete
fdr having the three outfits now here
reviewed by General Steiner. Tuesday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock the Fourth
Infantry will pass In review Wednes
day afternoon General Steiner will re
view the Second Infantry, Just back
from Birmingham, and on Thursday af
ternoon the First Cavalry, mounted,
will be reviewed. The three regiments
are in the pink of condition, and the
reviews.promise to be by far the most
lmr-resslvo ceremonies staged at tho
big camp here.
The First Infantry, leaving Brew
ton MonJuy morning, will reach camp
July 24, and in a few dayp thereafter
will be reviewed hy the brigade com
mander.
Eatevtala Officers
Friday night the offioera of tho
brigade and their ladles will be the
guests of Montgomery Rotarlans and
••Rotarettes" at a reception at Pickett
Springs, and hereafter the Friday night
officers’ dances will be on a regimental
bails, the officers of tha various regi
ments entertaining In their reapeettre
order.
Despite a sprinkle of rain Sunday
afternoon, the regular guard mount
and battalion parade was held, with
the parade grounds surrounded by a
large number of visitors. The parades
and guard mount now are bringing out
many hundreds of visitors from tha
city. The streets of the camp have
been graveled, eliminating much of the
dust which caused trouble |n the past,
and the mounted military police ere
keeping the crowds back so that they
Interfere In no way with the ceremon
ies.
Ailin’ Wounded Coming
The great base hospital to he built
here for the divisional camp will be
kept well filled with soldiers of the
United States army and with wounded
soldiers from the French and British
armies, according to official Informa
tion received at camp. The plan la to
have the army transports which carry
men and dbpplles to Europe bring back
to this country the wounded of the
allied armies who would be benefltted
by the sea voyage. In this way, too, It
is pointed out, It will be possible to
keep the big military hospitals on the.
other side cleared for the use of the,
men of the allied armies who need at
tention without delay.
"The hospitals on the other side will
get many of our own men, J am afraid,”
raid General Btelner Sunday, "and for
that very reason we must make every
provision for handling the men of the
French and British armies who are
sent here."
Resllse Training
Plans are ready now to have the men
of the regiments now In camp to get
right back Into the game, and within
the next few days hard drills will be
gin again and will be kept up until
the brigade receives orders to move.
That the Alabama brigade Is In ex
cellent shape In every way, is General
Steiner's statement, and he declares
that It can move pn a moment's notice.
The men are well trained, as la shown
by the fact that the several regular
army Instrvotors have been given lieu
tenants’ commissions In the regular
army, and no more inetructora will bo
sent to the Alabama brigade.
Instructors Promoted
The tnstiuctors promoted In rank aro
Sergeants-Sweeney and Hiland of the
Infantry; Petrlck and Manly of the
artillery; Powell, Clark and I.ee of the
Cavalry. They all go Into their new
w.orfc with ths rank of eecond-lleuWn
Ant. .
General Steiner has only praise for
the regular army men, and declarea
they have done marvelous work In
training the Alabamians.
GOOD SOLDIERSHIP
SERMON SUBJECT IN
SUNDAY SERVICE
Chaplain Emmett ~V. Smith of the
Fourth Infantry conducted the relig
ious services Sunday at MoLllisatlon
Camp. The services were attended by
a large number of soldiers who list
ened attentively to an address on
"Good Soldiership.** The test was tak
en from I. Timothy, sixth ehapter
twelfth verse, "Eight the good fight
of faith.” i
The speaker emphasised the necess
ity of keeping *ur the fight for high
Ideals, good morals, and urged his
hearers to bs- true to the traditions
and Influences ef Christian home life.
He said:.
“Being a soldier dees not justify the
laying aside'of moral restraints, but
calls for an exhibition' of real sol
diership in resisting thg temptations
SQ often surrounding the sodter while
In the service of his country "Any
body can fight, the ordinary town
bully can walk around with a chip
on his shoulder but It takes a man
of courage to successfully combat a
temptation to give free rein to pas
sion and strife. .
"Sometimes we hear It said that a
map cannot be a good man and a
soldier at one and the same time.
This is a mistake. Stonewall Jackson
one of the greatest soldiers of modern
times was a Christian of the highest
type, a soldier whose Ufa was olean
In words end morals. It Is said that
a major used seme profanity In the
presence of Jackson, and then asked
his parden. The great soldier quietly
Said: ‘Major when a boy I learned
among other things, this particular
passage of Scripture ‘Thou ehalt' not
take the name of the Lord, thy God,
In vain, for the Lord will not hold
him guiltless who taketh his name In
vain.”
"Jackson was as brave on this oc
easion as when ha etoed “like a
stone wall at Manassas."
Chaplain Smith referred to St Paul
as belgg a great soldier a man who
could die for the sake of the right I
as hs saw the right, and as a re
sult of his faith and sacrifice mil
lions bless his memory. "Jesus Christ
was one of the bravest soldiers that
the world has ever seen,* daolared the
speaker. "Ho fought against establish
ed customs and preached the golden
rule as the best guide ever given by
any lawmaker. The world at that
time thought he had fought a losing
fight, but his name is today ‘above
•very name’ and hts empire is found
in millions of human hearts.
"The good soldier Is unselfish and
he Is willing for others te share with
him every blessing."
Chaplain Smith paid a touching'trib
ute to the men oompoalng the Amer
ican army, saying, "America Is to
day the one power that must save
the liberty of tbs world and ast up
a standard of democracy In Prussian
ised Germany, thereby giving to the
people of that country the right to
govern themselves without the mail
ed fist of the Hohensollsrns and mili
tary Junkers. No nation ever went to
war In a mors righteous causa than
America, for. not only Is democracy
at sake, but the laws of humanity
must again dominate In the councils
of the nations, and the liberty ef no
country on earth Is safe while Prus
eianlsm sets aside the laws of God
and humanity for the sake of con
quest and Indemnities. Germany must
not and shall not win for every aunae
of American steel and every drop of
American blood must he consecrate{l
to the cause of democracy, the Lus
itania must bo avenged, ravished Bel
gium will be remembered and the
score will be settled when the Amer
ican army with those of our brave al
lies dictate a permanent peace at
Dbrlln."
