THE TRADE TRIP
GREAT SUCCESS
Business Men Enthusiastically
Welcomed at Every
Stop Made.
OF THE TRIP
Citizens Of the Towns Visited Turn
ed Out in Large Numbers
10 Greet the Excur-
sioniSts.

| The Waxahachie AID Club certain.
| ly gained a great victory and added
new laurels to it's achievements IL
their first trade excursion Civ
en- under the auspices of thai
organization of live wires. Will
| the excursion was planned and the
details arranged by Secretary Cor
nally of the AID Club the CONNER
cial Club and the Retail Mer-
chants Association are entitled to
a share of the credit for its mag
nificent success. From the time
the first announcement of the pro
posed trip was made until the cars
reached Waxahaehie on the return
trip enthusiasm flowed at a high
ebb 1t was the first excursion of
the kind ever attempted by local
merchants,\ and the conditions could
not have been more favorable for
the trip. The weather was Ideal
and with a cool breeze blown, g
from the north there was no sui
fering on account of heat and the
dust proved to be only slightly
annoying.
The towns visited on this trip
included Forreston. Italy, Milford,
Avalon, Nash and Howard.
1t was. just 1870 O'Clock Friday
afternoon when J. Lee Penn,
driver of the pilot car, turned the
nose of his machine towa.d the
south. The cars carrying the band
boys took their places behind the
pilot car and then the other ma
chimes filed into line. Ther4
were thirty-three cars in all and
they carried one hundred and fifty
six persons, quite number of wo-
men and children being in the
crowd. The party was made up OF
representative citizens of the town
and practically every line of busi-
ness was included.
During the entire trip Seth 0
Wilson attracted much attention
with his motorcycle. With large
flag attached to his machine III
made the complete circuit with thu
excursfonists, returning with then
to Waxahachie. He is the son o.
the late S. P. Wilson of this city
The line of automobiles which
made this trip presented a most
formidable showing and attracted
the attention of every person along
the road. Laborers in the cotton
fields and the grain harvesters
stopped work and watched the cars
until the last one was out of sight.

the AID Club win add materially to
the good of Waxahachie.
Secretary Connaliy of the three
business organizations represented
on the trip was ever alert ana
seemed to be here and there and
everywhere at the same time.
The representative of this paper
had the good fortune to ride with
Jim Coleman in the big passenger
Cadillac of Coleman Brothers. He
has the scribe's thanks for cour-
tesies rendered.
We can trdly say that the Az
Club party passed through some
of the finest country in Ellis coun
ty. Cotton and corn are looking
fine and as rule the fields are
well cultivated. A good rain
over the country now would in
sure bumper crop. Much corn
seen on the trip is sure of a yielo
of from fifty to seventy bushels
to the acre with another rain at
the right time
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the trip was the music
furnished by the Juvenile Band or
Waxahachie. This band is COM
posed of sixteen boys and when
the trip ended they seemed to as
fresh and vigorous as when they
started.
This new mode of advertising
will doubtless result in much good
to the city and TO the MEG
chants, and these trips to the
county towns should be made every
year.
The next excursion will take
place Monday afternoon, June 10th
For this trip a slow schedule has
been arranged and the cars will
be placed far enough apart so as
not to produce very much dust, |
The schedule for' this trip is as

The Dardanelles and the classic "Hellespont" are the same. It was across the Dardanelles that old King Nerxes ferried his nightly hosts during his attempt at the subjuga- ton of Greece, and across which he fled, all 'down at the heel" after he had been ignominiously beaten at Salamis, Mycale and Platea. It was in the. same waters that Lean- der and Lord Byron took their fa- nous swins and in which perished "Helle," the daughter of the Theban king, after whom the strait was named.

Little kncWn People of Japan Adhere to Their Ancient Customs and

At Shuri, the ancient capital of the Loochoos. Japan, about two miles from Naha, are the castle and tombs of the pld roochooan kings. The last kfng Who was made a Jap anese marquis ats the time of his re- tirement, still lives here. At Ito man 11a miles from Naha, is a col ony of several hundred people, who are said to be the descendants of some Portuguese sailors who were wrecked there over four hundred years ago. They are larger than the Loochooans, and show foreign blood in their features.
 The dress of. the native Loochoo- ans, of both sexes and all ages, con- sists of a single piece garment, which is loosely woven from banana fiber, resembling the cloth from the same material in the Philippines. The design of this cloth varies lit tie, that of the women being uni form and that worn by the men va rying only slightly. A few sandals are worn, but no shoes.
 Their buria' customs are curious. The horseshoe or turtle back shaped tombs, usually located on a hillside facing the water. are elaborate af- fairs of stone and cement, and their construction must be rather costly.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

We very glibly repeat the fact that our national drink bill is estimated at about two billion dollars-not thinking, perhaps, of the gravity of the amount and what good it could do if diverted into helpful channels. A few comparisons might help us to realize, in some measure, the magnitude of this sum. Let us compare it with the enormous cost of modern armaments and the burden of the military estab- lshmentS of the great nations of the world.
 The sum total of the combined military budgets of the leading nations of the earth for 1910 was was only S1, ,665, ,S89,000, or about S350, ,000,0O0 less than the total drink bill of the United States. Think of this.
 If the money spent for drink in the United States in one year could be transferred into one dollar bills, it would be sufficient to give a dollar bill to each in habitant of the earth and still leave a surplus of five hundred million dollars.
 The above figures from Prof. Jno. A. Nichols of Harvard.
 He also says that the liquor traffic is a great menace to our civilization. Coupled with vice and luxury, it is in the class of internal dangers which have un- dermined many earlier nations. It's economic waste alone, to say nothing of it's moral or physical aspect, is sufficient cause on which to demand it's entire ban ishment
