1t is traversed by the Chef Menteur
Highway and two railroads, and also

DID YOU GET YOURS7

A. Scafde & Co. send The Echo
copy of the handsome 1928 calen-
dar the firm is putting out this year.
Nothing like it has ever been given
out locally. The calendar is in the
shape of wall pocket, and the pic
ture of snow end tinsel and the dill
ferent hued tints form combination
that halts the attention and COM
mands the admiration.
A copy of this calendar is yours
for the asking. 1t is too delicate and
expensive for mailing. Mr.. Scatide
is generous. Although costing more
than the ordinary calendar, he has
reserved one for you and it might be
well to call for it. Say you saw the
announcement in The Echo.
The firm of A. Scafide Il Co. is one
of the enterprising business organ-
cations in this city. Starting from a
small beginning, Mr.. Scafide and his
sons have built up a business to sue
cessful and beyond ordinary proper
tions. Energetic, enterprising and
believing in service first, last and all
the time, the firm has prospered and
enjoys the esteem and confidence OF
the public.

THE NEWS FROM LOGTOWN.
Ladies of Baptist and Methodist Mis-
sionary Societies Give Successful
Beneft-President of p T. A.
Makes Report of Trip to Hatties-
burg-Other Interesting Items of
Interest.

The ladies of the Methodist and
Baptist Missionary Societies of Log
town gave a bazaar last Tuesday, De-
>cember 5, which brought to the pro-
moters 1892. This sum is to be used
as part support of two orphans, one
Methodist and one, Baptist. Each
church has adopted child from the
orphan homes.
The P. T. A. enjoyed report from
our president, Mrs. Calvin FOUNTAIN,
upon her visit to the district meeting
held at Hattiesburg. Her report had
much to do with influencing our asso-
clifton to join the State I. P. A. Every
patron in Logtown is proud of the
record made by our P. T. A. during
the past four years and we feel that
other parts of our State should know
of the work done here.
The Girl Scouts went on a hike
Tuesday afternoon. They left I'M
mediately after school. They hiked
out of town about a mile to a nice
place to cook supper. They showed
unusual talent in their cooking.
Everything was cooked without cook
ing utensils. They ate supper as soon
as it was ready. After supper their
captain gave them lecture on Home
Nursing. They had splendid time
and got much good from this hike.
The Boy Scouts enjoyed camp
ing trip last Friday night down at the
old gin place, where the mosquitoes
were knee deep. Rudolph and Charles
did not have but one 'meaP' with
them and that began at supper and
lasted all night. We might call the
trip an endurance test, as it was GER
tainly strain on the bread basket.

Waveland has a new mayor and
new board of aldermen. The people
of Bay st. Louis sister city seemed
to have made an almost clean sweep
The selection of George T. Herlihy
appears to be quite a recognition of
the young man in politics. He is pos
sibly the youngest mayor in the State,
and The Echo ventures the assertion
he will easily prove one of the best.
Mr. Herlihy is a native of this coun-
ty, a graduate of ST. Stanislaus Col
lege, of Bay ST. Louis, and a young
man not only of ability but imbued
with practical and progressive ideas.
His selection is generally well re-
ceived, and the compliment all the
more when it is considered he de-
feated one of the best known and
capable of executives in the person
of Mr. Olus NJ. Bourgeois, who on
previous occasions served Waveland
in the capacity of chief magistrate
with marked ability, Mr.. Bourgeois
was a close second, however, lacking
only six votes to tie with his oppon-
ent
Mr. Herlihy will succeed Mayor
Thomas J. Bourgeois, who was not a
candidate, having nloved his family
to Biloxi, where he Is in business.
The result of WaVeland's S municipal
election is aS follows.

Following his vindication in the
trial before the federal court at Ok
ford, Governor Lee M. Russell an
nounced to a correspondent of
Memphis afternoon paper that he
would be candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed Senator Pat
Harrison when the latter's term ex-
pires.
The announcement of the governor
CREATED no surprise, as such was ex-
pected if he won the damage suit in
stituted by Miss Birkhead. An ad-
verse decision would have wrecked
any hope or aspiration he may have
entertained to enter the race against
Senator Harrison, as the latter is gen.
orally assumed to be a candidate to
succeed himself.
The campaign is yet many months
off and a number of changes and po-
litical shifts can be expected before
that time. Former Governor Bilbo,
who may spend few unpleasant mo-
ments when he is brought before the
federal court on a charge of con-
tempt, has already announced as
candidate for governor to succeed
Russell. Both have always rode in the
same political band wagon, but sare
not on friendly terms-they ''do not
speak as they pass by"
Their attitude towards each other
in the coming campaign is an un-
known quantity just now, but it is
agreed that if the two continue at
loggerheads it will blow up each
others cause and neither will stand
the ghost of show before the cleo
torate of Mississippi.
Bilbo's candidacy for governor IS
looked upon as "a huge joke, while not
even the most optimistic of RusselPs
supporters believe that he stands the
ghost of a show when pitted against
the doughty Pat Harrison for seat
in the Senate. With the old Varda-
man faction divided against itself the
probabilities are strong that it will
again be overwhelmingly defeated
and smashed beyond hope of recovery.
The faction opposed to the Varda-
NANTES is now the dominant political
force in Mississippi and Russell will
find himself making an uphill fight to
beat Harrison.

HERE'S NOVELTY IN THE NEWS.

Novelties in the news!
Why go away from home! Here
it is. Right at the very door!
William II. Ruhr, elected alderman
in Ward 4, Waveland, last week re-
ceived votes. Only 3
Was he elected?
Certainly.
Unanimously, too.
There are only qualified voters IN
Ward 4, Waveland. The confines OF
this ward extend from the Bay St.
Louis line to the north side of Mich
olson avenue and back to the cor
porate line. Two votes are sufficient
to be elected. But Alderman Ruhr
was certain of unanimous vote be-
fore he entered the race.
One of the three votes is his own,
the other his wife's, and the third
his daughters.
And, better than all, Waveland
could not have selected better man
to serve on its aldermanic board.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

The power of newspaper advertis.
ing cannot be overestimated.
1t must never be doubted.
Neither the pulling power of an ad
in the columns of THE SEA COAST
ECHO. Surely, trial will convince
x x
Last week two-line ad., modest
looking and inserted away off in an
obscured corner, telling of piano
for sale, proved instant success. Did
you see it? The ink had hardly dried
when there were three prospective
purchasers. Needless to say, the
piano was sold, and to advantage.
This piano was on the market tor
sale for several years. This was the
first time it was advertised. The ad
cost only 80 cents, the minimum
charge.
Money well invested.
You cannot do better.
Moral: Advertise in THE SEA
COAST ECHO for results.

DECLARES FLOOD FIGHT is A
FAILURE.
Although First Levee Was Built Zoo
Years Ago Control Is No Nearer
Than at the Beginning.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Declarlngs
the fight to control the Mississippi
river had proved a failure under the
existing project, j. T. Kemper, New
Orleans engineer and member Of the
safe river committee, told the House
flood control committee today that
although the first levee was built 200
years ago, the goal was no nearer OF
accomplishment. Each flood, ne said,
brought gradually increasing crest:
Mr.. Kemper criticised the methods
of the Mississippi River Commission,
which he said had reached conclu-
sions on what ought to- be done after
having done it.

says from his experience that there is only way
to get it in the desired measure, and that is by
advertising the goods tourists like and then seeing
that the goods live up to the letter of the adver
tising.
Our goods speak for themselves when the Gus
toner tries them. They are all they cracked up
to be and then The thing is to get the Gus
TONER'S attention II hope to get in the
tourist business right, according to merits we
must let it be known abroad what we have to offer.
All the money might spend for that purpose
would be well repaid but as we have said we
have opportunity to do lot of good advertising
without great outlay Of money little printing and
little postage. The rest will be done by the CO.
operation of all the citizens of Phoenix with the
civic bodies.
We of this country have been too modest about
our natural and acquired charms too much inclined
to let tourists this if they will, some
other way. If too many of them have gone another
way, it is primarily our own fault. We must learn
to carry or send the message abroad and keep send
ing it year after year.
Tourist business never becomes automatic but
are so richly endowed with what tourists hunt
for that ought to get larger return for pub
