MOBILES UNDERTAKING.

The proposed duo-centenary celebra-
ton of the founding of Mobile is an
undertaking which should and will
interest the state of Alabama as well
as the city of Mobile. Mobiles great
historic interest, ignored through many
belongs to Alabama. A celebration of
the beginning of the third century of
the citys splendid history will carry
Stately wide Significance.
For its educative value alone the
undertaking should be carried forward
to a consumation. Our school child
rem, for instance, have drilled into
them the story of the Pilgrim Faith
and the landing at Plymouth Rock.
But they hear only incidentally the
splendid story of Bienville and his
weary labors to establish the power of
France In a wild and barbarous coun-
try The man of average information
knows that there was somehow a
strain of French Influence along the
Gulf Coast, especially noticeable IN
Mobile and New Orleans. but he does
not know it's source and its origin.
Labor, sacrifices and romance are all
in the story of Frances efforts in
Alabama, but our people do not know
the story. We have been ignorant
of and Indifferent to our history.
In the new era of education and
historical study. the remainer of Ala
bama will applaud Mobiles endeavors,
no matter what form they may take,
to present to the world the story Of
her early life. 1t is easy to pledge
the promoters OF this enterprise the
interest and the cooperation of other
Alabama cities, so far as that CO.
operation may be useful.

clear up to the limits of the cities.
Let a flock of geese be sighted on
it's way south from the breeding
grounds on the shores of Hudson Bay
or up the Yukon or on its return NORTH
in the spring, and the telephone is
brought into play to summon sports
men for twenty miles around. The
birds make overnight stops wherever
they find water and the gunners spend
most of the night in preparation.
They dig holes deep enough to con
ceal a man and set decoys about thirty
yards away. Experienced hunters will
wait until the flock is passing and then
shoot into the flock from behind 1t
has been shown that shot Is more ef-
fective this way than when the attack
is made from the front.
The windier the day the better. for
then the geese fly low. Most geese arc
shot when flying less than forty yards
from the ground.
