 Congressman Craig has been in Selma practically all of the time since the last session of Congress. For some weeks during the recess Con- gressman Craig was quite III at an infirmary here where he underwent an operation. He has recovered his health sufficiently to go to Washing ton and attend to his duties.
 Mir. Craig was quoted today as stat ing that he believed the coming ses- sion would be . rather stormy one and the session would be ready to adjourn by June. Mir. Craig will devote a great deal of his time during the session of Con- gress to securing the opening up of the coosa river by the government. He believes that the opening of the Coosa river will prove of great bene- fit not only to this section of the State but to every district of the State. He will endeavor to secure an additional appropriation for this work from the Rivers and Harbors Commit tee and,in his effect to push the work on the Coosa and to secure suffi- tee and in his effort to push the work he will no doubt have the support of every member from Alabama.
 MT. Partridge who will accompany Congressman Craig to Washington as his secretary was appointed to that position by MT. Craig about two weeks ago and succeeds Mir, Allen of Talladega. who resigned.

SUNSHINE TRIP.
Valuable Method of Boosting Homo
L.


Interests and Attracting Trade.
A splendid method Of helping on 10
cal trade and home interests has been
adopted by the Mercantile club Of
Kansas City, Kan. This is nothing less
than sunshine trip. The best BOOM
ers and hustlers in the club start out
on tour of nearby and contributory
points Fiftytwo stops are made, three
of them overnight. At every place
touched the praises Of Kansas City are
sung. friendship is cultivated and trade
solicited. At the three all night stops
stereopticon lectures are delivered.
This method can be adopted by every.
town, the radius of the trip being de-
termined by the size of the place, it's
natural trade radius and the opinion
of those having it in charge. Such
sunshine trips will prove Of ineStima-
BILE value in more ways than one. They
will make everybody concerned more
optimistic and more friendly, which
means general betterment 1t will

friendly spirit, which counts for a
great deal more. Mere physical con-
tact breaks down barriers of prejudice
and creates a bond of sympathy, which,
be it slight or strong, is yet worth con-
sidering. Moreover, such trip is a
novel and striking advertisement. It

Village Improvement Work.

Shade from the glare of the sun Is
desirable in the home In the village
it is equally important that the streets
should be shaded Here is a definite
work laid out for almost every i'm.
provement society 1t is work which
should be done intelligently and thor
oughly. In identifying our home the
effect is spoiled unless we get rid of
what is ugly and out of keeping with
the surroundings. In the village we
have to deal with the billboard nui-
sance and other glaring eyesores with
which we are afflicted in the name OF
business enterprise. The rubbish of the
home Is constant menace to it's at
Effectiveness and health The dump of
the village is equally obtrusive and
dangerous. In such home fingers the
memory Of friends and loved ones gone
before. In the village the visible me-
mortal of those that have gone Is In
the little cemetery, a place often sadly
neglected. Here again II definite work
to be done.

GOOD TRADE MOTTO.
Slogan Adopted by a City During Its
Prosperity Week Celebration.


prosperity week" is the latest meth
| cd Of booming local trade in Los An
| geles, and it is proving great success.
The idea itself cannot but be productive
| Of more hopeful outlook and a larger
share of confidence, which, after all,
make prosperity. There are several
minor features in the celebrations of
the California city however, that merit
notice and extended application. One
OF these is, or, rather, was. for the
weeks trade festival is now a thing of
the past for this year, the motto Made
In Los Angeles" This was made the
slogan for the week 1t constituted
one more method of advertising. Of
playing up goods, which. after all. IS
the great point.
The motto should be taken UP by
all manufacturing towns and. in fact,
by all towns whether manufacturing
or otherwise. Prosperity week could
be made festival worthy the name in
any American city or village. Every
point has articles made there or grown
there or in some other way identified
with that particular town. These
could be set forth in attractive fashion.
The week, or if a week We're consid-
cred too long then the three days or
the two days or even the one day or
the one evening, which could still be
called 'prosperity fair or prosperity
day as the case might be, could thus
be made the occasion of each factory
or merchant advertising its or his
wares and could be further employed
for engendering local public spirit
which is the most powerful help in
building up any town or community.
Spirit is the thing needed in all this
work of town Improvement and local
betterment. Spirit counts for more
than environment. Towns are made
out of people, and a people are only as
great or as small as their collective |
spirit.

The Broken Bottle Symbol.

The breaking OF bottle over the
bow of vessel at launching seems to
be taken by many people as having a
convivial, a sort Of here's-looking at
you significance, but nothing Of the
kind is meant; neither has it any asso-
citation with Christian baptism, for
the name Of man-ofwar is given
months before the launching. The real
thing typified is sacrifice Building
town or setting ship afioat was a SOL
emn matter away back in the dim past,
and such an act was not to be under
taken without devoting a life to pro-
p1tiale the gods. Our refined and hui
mane civilization no longer dares to
offer up prisoner or a slave on such
occasions and therefore bottle is
broken to symbolic the taking Of a
mans life.~~United Service Gazette.
