Building Activities

Il don't know how business has
been with other business houses in the
city, but with me it has been better
during this month than the two months
preceding May" said William Sell.
My business is more than doubled
engaged in the building business and
when ever building picks up then my
business picks up too. Practically in
every community in and near the city
one may see building activities, and
boom, think it will help every form
of business"

Auburn Athletics

THE quality of athletics and ath-
letes produced at Auburn was never
better illustrated than by Johnny
Suggs southpaw pitcher who twirled
no-hit, no-run game against the
Southern league leading Memphis
Chicks Saturday" stated Pickens
Short. Auburn has always been noted
for its clean, aggressive athletics and
Suggs is typical example of a prod
uct of Mike Donahue baseball.
"Suggs has developed into one of
the best seuthpaws in the Southern
league. His early training in baseball
was secured at Auburn, where he
starred on the diamond.
Johnny Suggs is not the only Au-
burn baseball star making good in pro-
fessional baseball, as Griffin and Du-
cote are already in uniform, while
Johnson, Fulghum, Ollinger and Barnes
are four new recruits in pro baseball
from this years crop of Plainsmen."

Truckers Have Acted;
Housewives Next Move

MAYHEM the city market at Nor
wv ris avenue and Twenty-fourth
street opens Wednesday morning with
more than so Jefferson county truck
growers installed there and offering
fruits and vegetables fresh from the
farms, the truckers may be said to
have done their part.
1t rests with the housewives of Biz
mingham whether the market will be
success. Their patronage will
make it so. The truckers have gone
about the establishment of this mar
ket in a business like manner. They
leased the ground, leveled it and
drained it, and have neatly lined off
the space for the so or more stall
renters who form the charter list of
market merchants.
The truckers have done this with
their own money. They promise rea-
sonable prices and fresh stuff from
their gardens. They have arranged
to sell in quantities to suit any house
keeper. They wish to please and will
try to do so.
Birmingham housewives owe it to
themselves as we'll as their city to
be on hand at the new market next
Wednesday morning at $3.50 O'Clock
and see for themselves what the
truckers have undertaken in their
service. The need of real city mar
ket is recognized as vital. Patronage
of this earnest effort of the county
truckers will perpetuate that much
desired community asset.

Business Men Sense
Need of Righteousness

C7F1HE big men of the country are
u crying for righteousness as they
have not done before in the history of
finance, commerce and industry. A
realization that decency must prevail
in business as well as in personal re-
lations is developing into a national
maxim.
D. R. Crissinger, comptroller of the
currency, speaking to the National
Credit association last week, said:
Our people need a new baptism
in righteousness, a new consecra-
ton to the ideals of integrity. a
new devotion to right and to JUS
tice. You men can render no great
er service to this people than to
be leaders of the creed that the
light of square dealing shall IL
illuminate the business conscience
of the nation.
Remarks like this are becoming the
every day, utterance of bankers, in
dustrial captains, the hard-headed anc
hard-fisted men of affairs of the ma
ton. 1t is a consensus of opinion; 8
chorus of agreement in an eternal
principle.
1t is not that men are more pious
or more devout than in past genera
tons. 1t is because they realize with
greater precision than before the basis
on which society rests. That basis
is the confidence of men in one an
other. When men have lost that
through the baneful effect of an I'M
earned superprosperity, they find
themselves cropping in the dark for ii
and they reach out until they have il
again in hand,

complainant in the case, that If ru-
mors as heard by the police are true,
there is no room in this city for
them.

to the effect that the Kostrinski's
are running a ~disorderly house, and
the court pointed out to the defend
ant and complainant in this case,
that a woman arrested in this city
sometime ago for running a disor-
derby house, was sentenced to states
prison. The recorder notified the
Kostrinskis that it would be best for
them to cav the city, if their in
tentions were anything along the
line of the rumors They recently
came here from Passaic.

derived in health and pleasure. from
any similar outdoor sport. On the

the scouts purchased many articles
