.ALMON CONFIDENT
OF NITRATE PLANT
Congressman, on Leaving
for Capital, Says Muscle
Shoals Will Be Selected


Sheffield, November SO.-(Special)
Congressman E. B. Almon of this con-
gressional district, whose home is in
Tuscumbia, departed last night for
washington, D. c., to be present to rente
upon his duties when Congress con-
venes next Monday. The congressman
has been at home in Tuscumbia since
Congress adjourned last September,
"radiating" from and to many points
over his district confering with his con-
stituents as to their wants, etc.
Before leaving for Washington he
made it evident that he was brimful
of enthusiasm concerning the proba-
bility of this section getting the gov
eminent 0,00O,O 900 nitrate plant for
Muscle Shoals. He stated that he fully
believed the President will officially
designate the Muscle Shoals site before
January l, or not much later thereaft-
er. In the event Muscle Shoals is Sc
lected for the nitrate plant it is con-
coded that it will start an industrial,
AGRICULTURAL and commercial growth
within a radius of 200 miles of the plant
on the banks of the Tennessee river
here, which cannot possibly be con-
ceived or conjectured by the most hope
full and optimistic citizen or business
man. Sheffield, Florence and Tuscum
bia people share the view of Congress
man Almon that Muscle Shoals will
gain the nitrate plant.

Two and One-Half Cent
Coin Recommended by
Director of the MINIS

Washington, November S0.-A two
and one-half cent piece is demanded
by the country, according to the direc-
tor of the mints whose annual report,
made public today, recommends pas
sage of a law authorizing coins of that
denomination from capper and nickel.
When you consider that we have
no coin between the 1-cent piece and
the scent piece, and that many an
article worth more than a cent, and
less than 5 cents, sells for the latter
price because of the lack of an inter-
mediate monetary unit Of value" says
the director. "the economic Importance
of 1t will be readily seen. Articles
which now sell for is cents each or
two for a quarter would sell for 12h
cents. Popular shops, such as the and
Decent stores, would undoubtedly
place articles now selling two for
cents on sale at 21a cents"
