I Approximately 8,500 homing pigeons left Spartanburg early this morning for their homes in Washington and Baltimore. George L. Stcitz, of Balti more, released about 8,000 of these birds at 6 o'clock this morning at tin offices of the Southeastern Express company, while It. H. Blackburn, ol (his city, released the remainder abemi <5 minutes later. Barring unforeseen troubles, (lie pigeons should arrive at their home-: about 2 o’clock this afternoon. Mr. iVjckburn was notified lo release his birds this morning, but a strong north wind at the time of their release is expected to deter the Washington Lirds considerably. Mr. Stcitz, who is official liberator for the Monumental City Concourse association, of Baltimore, expected his 8,000 homing pigeons to make the trip to Baltimore in about 8 hours. Some of the birds, of course, will lalid at their homes considerably later than the fleetest birds. Approximately 100 people gathered at the union station this morning to see the 8 000 birds from Ba timop* re leased. Station Master Nolen acted as time keeper, and his watch indicat ed that just 40 seconds passed from the time the first bird was liberated until the last bird also was on its way home. The pigeons this morning got. under way without a moment’s hesitation. Like an aeroplane they rose until they had reached what they considered the proper height to begin their flight. Then, without making a single circle, they headed in a northeasterly direc tion for Baltimore. They darkened the sky near the union station as they rose from the hundreds of crates, and early risers in that section of the city were treated to an unusual sight. Mr. Stejtz says that the majority of the pigeons whl fly the 422 miles to Baltimore without making a stop. Some birds that did not drink all the water they desired before leaving Spartanburg probably will drop out of the race fe- a brief bait at some stream along the route. These halts, however, will he brief, and the birds that stop for water will soon be chas ing tlie thousands that do not halt. Tlie birds released here this morn ing are owned by numerous individ uals, clubs and organizations in Wash ington and Baltimore. They were ma ture pigeons, and unless some stray hunter brings some of them down be tween Spartanburg and their destina tions practically all of (he pieons are expected to complete the long fight. Last year, Mr. Stcitz said he lias been to d, people some miles cast of Spartanburg waited for the pigeons to pass and shot into them many times large numbers of the birds being being brought down. Upon their arrival at their destina tions, the pigeons* arc rnimi* * ii<-lv taken charge of by their owners who are on the lookout for them. Specially constructed cages fhat record the ex act minute of arrival arc awaiting th j birds. Every bird bears a serial num ber. in order that tlie owners may know vfhich are their fastest birds. Die pigeons reaching th;;ir hoiai* 1 '* first this afternoon will win handsome prizes for their owners. Baltimore lofts represented today numbered 309. Mr. Blackburn said today that he expects another shipment of birds to lie liberated here to reach Spartan burg within about a week. These birds will come from New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Steitz will return to Spartan burg in September, bringing with him hundreds of young pigeons, many of which are making their first (light. Mr. Steitz will he in Augusta. Ga.. •ibout two weeks hence with about fi,- 000 pigeons to release. He returned to Baltimore this afternoon.

C. THE GREAT BELL OF A T R I The village of Atri had a great bell that was rung only in time of need. It’s rope, covered with green vines, trailed to the ground. One day a starving horse, turned out to shift for himself, seized the fresh, green ten drils in his teeth. The bell above him began to ring, attention was called to the predicament of the poor beast, and le became a well-fed ward of the town. Advertising is a bell that is continually ringing to call your attention to some thing you need or ought to have. Merchants and manufacturers, who are making and selling something they think you will want, are using it’s clarion notes to attract you to their wares. Do you read the advertising? Many people do. They are the wise shoppers —the economical buyers—the ones who are strictly up-to-date on the op portunities for saving money or spend ing it to the greatest advantage. Read the advertisements. They will tell you of many things you need. Read them to save steps—to save money. Read them because they place before your eyes a moving panorama of business progress. Read them to keep yourself informed. Read Advertisements Regularly. It Pays.
