developed the tidal wave that swept
the islands as somewhere north OF Ha-
wall. Finch added that scientists have
estimated that such waves travel at
the tremendous velocity of seven miles

the exact time at which the first wave
struck the island of Kauai to the north
were ascertained, it would be possible
to calculate approximately the location

Committee Appointed to Investigate
 New Weevil Mixture

ALEXANDER CITY, Ala, March Especial )-One of the greatest assets that Alexander City possesses is her Chamber of Commerce. Many of the good things that have come to this city during the past two or three years have been directly traceable to this institution.
 At it's meeting this week it de- cided upon two things. One of these things is the offering of prizes for tke three best reasons for Why Should 1 Trade in Alexander City," The prizes will be in cash and will be open to- o'everyone who cares to participate in the contest. The three prize essays will be pub lished and it is expected that num- Der will engage in this contest.
 Another decision made at the meeting was to send q representa- tive to the Chamber of Commerce to Burke county, Georgia, to see just what effect Hills mixture for ex- terminating boil weevils has had. Every effort is going to be made to make cotton this year and the local organization thinks that 1t will be quite worth while to send repre- sentative to Burke county to get ing the poison.
 The organization is fortunate ip having such officials as Benjamin Russel! for president and Lewis B. Dean as secretary.
