GREAT ACTTVITY IN
 HOME BUILDING
Practically Every Street Shares
 In Residence Development

The past year has seen more activity in residential construction in Talladega than at any time in a decade.
 In all parts of the city new dwell ingS have been constructed, from the small cottage to the pretentious resia dence, and at present there are a nums Der building. Quite a hit of rental property has been constructed, but d more encouraging feature is the num- Der of homes constructed by individuals for their own occupancy. The per son who invests his savings in a home is usually permanent resident and a citizen of the highest class.
 A careful survey of the city shows that on practically every street homes have been constructed during the past year to value of $150, 900 or more.
 And building of residential property in Talladega is belieTeAlt lto be just at the beginning, for there are a number of plans being made for homes to go up during the next year. F
 In business property there has been little building, for there was no de- mand.. Talladega followed the con serYative way and builded only what was needed-homes-and there was an occupant ready and waiting for every one. 2 2

fair trial has never quit. Like getting into any new business, there are mis- takes to be made at first and overcome, but the creamery patron who has the determination to stick to it long enough and learn the business never gives it up. The most ardent patrons of the Talla- dega creamery are men who have been it's customers longest. They have learn ed by experience the best methods to get successful results, and that is the only sure method in any line of bushes.
 New customers are being taken on right along. S. c. Oliver, one of Talla- dega's best business men. is at the head of it, and Haywood Walker, who is an expert butter maker as we'll as field man, is enlisting the support of the farmers, and explaining to them the ad- vantages of the business, has active su- pervision.

LAWs-AND OUTLAWS

Most of the interest to the pub
lie in Seattle this week hovers a
round the liquor smuggling ques-
t'on. A few days ago Roy Ohm
stead was arrested, with a dozen
or so Of his associates, his house
was searched for booze and a
small quantity found, he put up
a bond for his appearance at
trial, has countered with an action
against some of the dryleaders,

statements pro and con from both
the Olmstead side and the Whit
ney-Lyle side. All of which

everybody. The drys smile when
Whitney gets one over, and the
vets smile when Roy scores a
point. What is true of Seattle is
alike true of Tacoma, Spokane,
Portland, and every other large
city in America, 1t ism t contest
here in King county between Roy
Olnstead on one side and the dry

ton whether legally instituted

can aefy them with impunity.
We know nothing about Roy

THE POULTRY SHOW.

Twenty-Five years ago the man
who predicted that the Puget
Sound would become one of the
great poultry centers of the Unit
ed States would have been consid-
cred visionary. Yet that day
is here and the promise Of the fu-
ture grows brighter as the indust-
dustry advances. Raising chickens
and shipping eggs to Eastern mar
kets has become one of Puget
Sounds greatest assets. West
ern Washington eggs receive the
highest prices and the products
of the Puget Sound country are
considered the best in the country.
Western Washington has an
ideal climate for poultry. There
are no extremes of weather, and it
is possible for chickens to exercise
and feed out of doors every day
in the year. The weather never
gets hot enough to cause spots in
eggs AMI never cold enough to slow
up egg production.
This week at South Tacoma the
Tacoma Poultry Association has
a poultry show which will exhibit
prize fowls from nearly all the
Western states. There are entries
from Canada and Alaska as well,
and the local exhibit will be of
to every Tacoman. Car
loads of eggs are now being ship
ped direct to the East The
poultry business is becoming a.
great asset to this district, and the
South Tacoma exhibit will be of
particular interest to everyone in
terested in the growth of the COM
m unity-Tacoma News Tribune.

EDITORIAL
OUR HAND-sENAToR JONES.

Our ., S. Senior Senator, Wes-
ley L, Jones, is entitled this week
to the congratulations of the News
Record readers. He has just been
named Republican, whip in the
upper house, a position second
ouly TO that now occupied by the
senate leader, Charles u. Curtis
Of Kansas. This Elevation of our
senator comes about through
changes made necessary through
the death of Henry Cabot Lodge,
senate leader for many years.
1t doesn't take good memory
for our readers to think back a
few years ago when the News-Re-
cord sent an open letter to both
of Washington's senators asking
thea to vote against seating Sen
ator Newberry of Michigan. A
few days later Miles Poindexter
defled public sentiment aud voted
TO give Newberry a seat. Senator
Jones stood Like adamantine rock
against seating the gentleman
from Michigan. In a few months
the people got a chance to be
heard. Poindexter was defeated
by . comparatively unknown man
&C, c. Dill-and is today some
where in the mountain region of
South America. Senator Jones
stood by his conscience, and is to-
day occupying tthe second high
est seat in the greatest parliament
on earth. Senator Jones-we are
glad for this privilege of saying
to you: "Well done, good and
faithful servant, enter thou into
a higher seat, :"

the reign of winter can defy the
south wind. Spring may be de-
iayed, but it always comesl Win
ter may hold on until May, or even
June, but finally it loses its hold,
and the sun smiles, the birds sing,
the grass springs up and summer
is here! The grip of the liquor
business has been am iron grip,
1t has been a strangle-hold grip.
1t has seemed like a death grip.
But that grip will soon loosen,
the victims will be freed, and this
apparent outlawry will prove to
be only a passing incident in the
human race for truth and right
eousness. The illicit traffic in
liquor will soon fade and die and
such episodes as the Olmstead in
cident will become past history.
The 18th amendment to the con-
Stitution will never be repealed,
the open saloon will never come
back to our country, and the few
wood alcohol drinkers who stand
with their backs to the Volstead
Grating about "the land
of liberty and freedom Of habit, :"
vii soon be knocked into a kite,
and if they ever land it is to be
hoped they'll strike Canadian
soil where one can still clap it
up, if they have the price"

InventIna Surname In PersIa.

Although Teheran is the capital Of
Persia few Of its streets are digniffed
with names. The city's principal
thoroughfare is known as Street of the
Gas Lights, from the fact that an at
tempt was once made to illuminate It
by means of gas lamps, and though
the lighting failed the name of the
street remained. As none of the
houses has number, 1t Is extremely
difficult to find given address. Until
very recently there were, with certain
exceptions no family names in Per-
sia. This led to so much confusion
that two or three years ago an edict
was issued obliging all persons In the
empire TO adopt family name within
given date. AS may be supposed
the names chosen were frequently
curious and sometimes amusing. An
old man who had been for many years
guardian of the gate of one of the
Christian missions, chose for himself
the Persian equivalent of Honest and
Faithful" A postman styled himself
appropriately Here, There and Every
where" while a merchant who was of
practical turn of mind. selected as a
surname his own telephone number,
"Three Hundred and Ten"

quite conspicuous at meetings the

A large amount of regular business
was transacted and number of spe-

those present. A committee was
named to draft the working agree
ment with the local retail merchants,
the present agreement expiring June
1st of this year. Another committee
was named to arrange for the annual
benefit show which will be held at

The members decided to hold big
euchre at the Walnut Aid Society hall,
South Second street, on next Tuesday
evening. Handsome prizes will be
awarded the winners. The public is

affair are: Mrs. Freda Hoppe, Miss

Olympic Games OF Hercules.

The Olympic games of Greece were
established In very early times-ac-
cording to Greek tradition by Her
cules himself, They became a truly
national festival in 776 B. c. Every
four years a series of athletic contests
were held in honor of Zeus on the
Olympic plain In Ellis. The games at
first comprised chariot races foot
races, boxing, wrestling, leaping and
running. etc. Later the drama had a
part and works Of art were exhibited.
Garlands of olive twigs from the sa-
cred olive tree, crowned the heads of
the victors who were welcomed home
with triumphant professions The
games were kept up until 394 A. D.,
and dates were commonly reckoned by
these Olympiads. About that date
they were abolished by Emperor
Theodosius !. In the present century
they have been successfully revived
as an international contest.
