SELMA CREAMERY
AND THE SATSUMA
LAND IN MOVIES"
Screen Picture to Show All
Stages In Production of
The Two Alabama
Industries

The Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road company has completed screen
pictures of the dairy and creamery
industry at Selma and the Satsuma
orange Industry at Mobile. These
pictures are to be shown throughout
the south in keeping with the policy
of the Louisville and Nashville and
associates to educate the southern
people into more realistic knowledge
of their economic possibilities.
Other parties to this campaign are
the Southern railroad. Atlanta and
West Point. Western Of Alabama and
Georgia railroads, Southern Bell and
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
company. The campaign has been
conducted since May 1 and already
more than $4,000 feet of agricultural
and safety first pictures have been
shown.
The Selma and Mobile pictures have
been made by James B. Buchanan Of
Atlanta, expert cameraman, under d.
rection of Carl B. James, hortioul-
turalist of the Louisville and Nash
Vile, and Robert B. Strickland, joint
manager of the educational campaign
of the participating parties.
The first picture, that of the Selma
dairy and creamery industry, is
known as 1.-The Milk Route" and
shows every detail from the pasture
to the finished product as 1t passes
out of the Selma creameries.
In six years time Selma has built
an industry with a daily capacity of
1900 gallons of Ice cream, 1900 gal
Ions Of sweet cream, 5000 pounds OF
cheese, 1900 pounds of butter and
10000 pounds of condensed milk, and
the products are equal to those of
any other part of the country.
THE Kid Glove Orange" is the title
of the Satsuma screen. The mild
climate of Mobile county has proven
ideal for this culture. The Satsuma
was introduced from Japan and Is the
most cold-resistant of all members
of the orange family 1t Is grated
on the citrus trifolitis and cultivated
with scientific methods. The trees
bear when very young. tree nine
years old has been known to bear as
many as 1.4o0 oranges
The Satsuma is called kid Glove"
because 1t Is the only member of the
orange family that can be handled
with gloved hands without leaving
the usual orange stains.
The Mobile Satsuma Is now seen In
plentiful supply at the fruit stands.
Due notice will be given OF the pic

The band became quite a factor In
the social and civic affairs of the city
and was considered one of the best
amateur band organizations in the
south. It continued to function for
number of years and later gave way
to a professional band, also organ

1t was in the early SOS that
Prof Fred L. Grambs, the well
known musician, came to Birming-
ham. Though young in years he had
already established reputation in
his chosen profession, and came here
to accept the leadership of the
orchestra at O'Brien's opera house,
which had Just been built.
He soon became established in the
musical circles of the city and among
his other activities in 1884 organized
a brass band, the first In the city.
Its membership consisted almost en-
tirely of amateurs, many of whom
were prominent in the business and

this prevents. under existing condi-

Would Encourage Veterans.
There is another phase to the sit
uatlon, as see it, and this is the
fact that many veterans who are con-
nected in various ways with the busi-
ness of Washington and who could
do so much good through the organ
lzations of which they are members
fail to take the interest that they
would if they had pleasant whole
some quarters in which to meet. This
situation is very vital, and it is large
1y responsible for the failure of many
of the men to take an interest in the
capital as citizens of the District of
Colum bia. and I think that if this is
remedied it would have far-reach-
ing effect. It would tend to a spirit
of uplift and cooperation and sup
port in the District.
There is one other thought that
occurs to me and which I think is
very important one. I believe such
building should be absolutely free
from all entanglements. 1t should be
absolutely free from any conditions
that would make it's use restricted
in, the sense that it would not meet
the full requirements for which it
was built. Only in this way would it
