Solving The House PrOblem.-The prob
lem of houseroom that has been confronting
the district for the past twelve months is at
last in a fair way of partial solution. The
building program that has been finally
launched will bring some measure Of relief.
But there is slight probability that new
homes viii 60 up faster than the increased
demand for them. For while there are
houses going up in all parts of the district
at the present TIME, there is a constant in
flnx of new citizens that is absorbing them
even faster than they become available. Now
that we have the ball rolling it is quite neces-
sary that we keep it going throughout the
season.--Muse Shoals Sunday News.
More Homes Needed.-Selma's new direc-y
tory makers declare that the preliminary
data indicates a population well over 10000.
Selma's growth has been steadily hampered
by housing shortage. A town cannot strike
even a normal stride of development that is
without suitable places in which its prospec-
tive citizens can live-Selma Times-Journal
No Better People Anywhere.-A great
big heart, a buoyant and ever vigorous
thought makes up this good people. None
better live and do business anywhere than
these. Hence, the general invitation attend
ing the rest of the world to come in here and
help US enjoy it, as well as to build and
build.-Huntsville Times.
WeeylI Still On The Job-The cotton
farmer who proceeds on the theory that the
boil weevfl was killed by the freezes during
the winter months is scheduled to receive a
rude jolt when the time comes for the little
pest to get in his work. The sooner any
such idea is abandoned the better it will be
for the farmer. The boil weevil is still very
much alive and ready to carry out his pro-
gram of destruction.-Ga dsden yTimes-News.
4 Always Ready With An Alibi--One OF
the most exasperating matters with which
the people Of the Tri-Cities have had to con.
tend during a long period is the delay in )
completing the underpass between Florence
and Sheffield. 1t appears that those re-
sponsible for this delay are always ready
with an "alibi," which attempts to place the
blame on someone else. Whoever is really
to blame is perpetrating an outrage upon the
people and it is high time that those in au-
thority should take definite steps to open
this road to traffic-Florence Herald,
Bright Future Predicted.-Romantic, too,
if humble and ,Unsightly, were the camps Of
the early charcoal burners who brought the
fruit of their labor to Admission in wagons
with great frames for sale to the pioneer
furnace on South Noble street. Traces of
the old camps now are obliterated but it has
not been many years since one could find
their sites at many places on sides Of the
hills that Ancirele Admission. From such
humble beginnings has come the Admission
of today. Who is there to dispute the claim
that with such a start and such progress,
Admission will not continue to move forward
and upward until it becomes finally the city
its founders intended it should be, the real
city of their dreams G--Anniston Star.
A Live Industrial seCtIon.-visitors to
Gadsden, without exception, are greatly
impressed by the city and its possibilities
With its splendid school system and school
buildings, with its miles and miles Of paved
streets, with its many other advantages, in
addition to its unlimited supply of raw ma
terials, the Gadsden District is destined TO
become, in a fewrSears, the busiest and best
industrial section of the South. Even now
there is more activity in this district than is
found in nearly any other Southern city

Education For Grown Ups.-BirminSbSm
spends $500 day for cream from Wisconsin
diaries. Still Alabama is asking for more
money with which to educate the children.
Frankly, don't you think Alabama should
commence educating the grown-ups to some
of the advantages we are overlooking?-
