Argument for the Warrior

Huntsville News)
 Two large shipments of steel. soor to be routed by the Warrior barge line from Birmingham to Mobile showing the growing employment ol the waterway between Alabama's manufacturing center and the states seaport. A part of the ma terial will be for nine steel barges to be. built in Mobile for operation on the Warrior by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, Such shipments help to prove the usefulness of the Warrior, especial ly in promoting the easy and-cheap handling of large and heavy str..s tural prices. They present strong argument in support of the plans for the maintenance and develop ment of the waterway.
 Begin Ant Campaign
 (Demopolis Tisnesl
 Begin your ant campaign now. Don't wait until the little insect gets another headway and becomes a nuisance again. We now know how to desrtoy the ant and keep him from destroying us. Demopolis did good work along that line a couple of years ago, by concerted action, but the pestiferous little fel- low from the Argentine is with us again. Not in such great numbers as he once was, but his multiplica- tion goes by geometrical progres. sion. and it would not take a great while for the same old condition to obtain as did before we walked up. If the reader will take little notice he will find streams of ants, even at this early season, when the weather is bright and warm, and they are not hunting boil weevils and such like as that, but the comfortable habitation of man. A good idea is to save every old tin can that has top to it, fit it accorolng to the pattern that every one now knows. bait it and hang it out where the ants can get to it. If your neigh Dor will not help, do the best you can on your own premises. He will suffer more than you will from the ants he fails to destroy.
 Proof of Montgomery's Growth
 (Montgomery Advertiser)
 Announcement that N. J. Bell will construct modern six-story hotel on Montgomery street, next to the Bell building, and that the Ex- change hotel will add an annex of fifty rooms, together with the con- struction of the Sheppard office building, prove that Montgomery is growing and must have more housing space. These buildings are not going up merely to accommo- date guests and tenants who may come seeking accommodation at some remote time in the future. They are going up m answer to a demand for more room now. With in three months after the compile tion of these buildings we dare say there will be no surplus space in either. Father Montgomery has got to let out his bert, or suffer dis comfiture. Cottages, bungalows and apartment houses are still springing up all over the city. Old houses are being remodeled and renovated. Montgomery never was a boom town but once, and that was during the war when Camp Sheri- dan was the home of nearly S0,000 men. The city does not know what it means for many thousands of new corners to settle down in 1t every year. Some of the industrial cities know what this means. But Montgomery does not. Montgoni- cry grows steadily, the stork being of course it's main reliance, but people from outside the city year iy .ear add thelr numbers to swell bbe total of Montgomery's strength n population end money. :Ao'it- goraery's growth is healthy aEd sub. ssantial. 1t suffers Vow los61s Ut l. svows all tho simes ,.,.-..a,-l--
