Loss Of Game And Timber By Fire.-Mr Quinn estimates that thousands of dollars worth of timber has been dsStgoyed in north .Iwest Alabama alone during g&tHe spast thirty days. This does not take into account the loss to huntsmen and to the state of game. While game is less valuable than timber, the destruction of either through carelessness is indefensible. Where forest fires are most prevalent the state may be able to make use Of forest rangers, but all the wooded, areas of Alabama cannot be patrolled and people dwelling in these communities, as well as motorists, hunters and holiday makers, should Inot foolishly and needlessly start forest fires.

 Dothan Needs New HoteL-The readers of this paper will pardon us, but within the last six weeks several different promoters have
 appeared in Dothan with plans for a new hotel. No headway was made because of various reasons, chief of which is the lack of cooperation. Some day the people of Do- than will suddenly realize the need of com. petent hotel facilities. Then one will be built. Manwhile the travelling men, who ad- vertise town as much or more than any other one agency, are continuing to say eVerywhere they go: "Dothan is a fine town, but ought to have new hotel."-Dothan Eagle
 Clean Up For Sundays.-We note several southern cities in campaigns for clean side walks on Sunday mornings. A plea is made for cleaning up the Saturdays litter in time for the streets to be presentable at church time on Sunday mornings A similar crusade in the Tri-C Cities would not be amiss. Uttered, insanitary streets and sidfwalks on Sunday morning are not conducive to the pleasures of the day. They are bad advertisement to tha cfy xr;fhip tooa nd m inapira, tion to ourselves. Cleaning up is always in order, and more especially so for Sunday Jmorning-Muscle l Shoals Sunday News. Alabama Will Be There.-Alabama, it is understood, will not be missing when the roll | of southern commonwealths is called at the great New York show, but just what will be the scope and adequacy of the representation has not been announced. It is understood that the state department of agriculture is making plans to have display that will in- clude some of the outstanding features and achievements of the states agricultural and economic progress It will be an unusual op- portunity for the state to make itself known and it should not be lost. It will be investing l in an advertising enterprise whose benefits should be of such a high character as to elude full realization at the present time.-Selma Times Journal. s
 Pulling Power Of Co.6peration.-Cit of this community have witnessed the pulling power of cooperative effort in the public in terest. Every business and professional man who has lived in Andalusia for any length of time has seen this city in cooperative ac- tion for common end and purpose, and they have observed how effectively this combined effort was in bringing about the object de- sired. That period of our citys development was an object lesson the value of which will depend largely upon us. If we take stock of ourselves, try again this team work in the public interest get behind chamber of com merce and enlist in the movement for greater industrial advancement than now seems possible under existing conditions, then we will demonstrate that we have not for gotten the object lessons which we as com- munity of citizens taught ourselves.--A Andalu- sia Star :. s9.z2 ss. .gss l.L < M } $ slgsl.s5a
