MUSCLE SHOALS TO
 LAND NITRATE PLANT
EdmOnds Says It Is Logical Site for Big Government Plant-Pros-
 perity for the South

Muscle Shoals should land the s20OOO. 900 nitrate plant of the United States gov ernment. This is the opinion of Rich ard H. Edmonds, editor of the Mapu- lecturers Record, who is in Birmingham. The outlook for the south is very hope full. he avows, and believes that pros- perity will continue in this section.
 Tn my opinion there is substantial req son to believe that the government will lccate the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, :" Mir. Edmonds said. Ut is the only site capable of attaining such tremendous water power. Fully 50 per cent more power can be developed at one point on Muscle Shoals than Niagara Falls has ever attained. It is the logical place to locate the plant.
 There is every reason to believe that the south will continue to have prosperi- ty. The cotton crop for 1916 and the sales from the staple that was held in store from 1914 and 1915 brought S1, 600,0000O0 to the south. The steel and iron interests are prospering and should experience great development, for the United States has determined to build a great navy; there is no hope for the war to cease within year at the least; and America must rebuild Europe after the close of the war. These facts, coupled with the acknowledged truth that much. construc- ton here will follow when times are nor nal, augur well for prosperity.

Washington, December 1s.-(special] For the purpose of fighting a 10 cents a pound tax on oleomargarine. alleged tc have been imposed as a result of the ac- tivity of the butter trust. John T. Ash craft of Florence has come to Washing ton. This tax concerns the consumer first, and in addition. every man who sells makes or crushes cotton seed
 A bill to remove this tax and change the name of oleomargarine to margarine has been introduced by Representative Aswell of Louisiana. Regarding his ob- ject, pr. Aswell made the following state ment today:
 'The people of this country do not real ize that not only are there artificial req sons for the high cost of living but that the United States government actually levies a high tax on food product which the government itself stamps as sound, healthful, wholesome. free from disease and prepared under sanitary con- ditions. That is why have introduced my bill repeating this tax kept on the statute books by the butter trust for the sole purpose of handicaping competition and increasing the price of butter.
 We must do something to increase the desirable food supply of the country and prevent fraud practiced by butter deal CTS. Uncolored oleomargarine sells for two-thirds the price of butter. The 1( cents per pound tax on colored oleomar- garine renders its distribution practically

Circuit Judges Deny the
 Petition of Henry Ford to
 Annull Dodge Injunction

Detroit, Mich, December 1S.--Three cir cult judges today denied the petition of Henry Ford that they annull the tenn porary injunction which restraints the Ford Motor company from performing de- velopment work. The injunction granted for 60 days was obtained recently by John F. Dodge and Horace E. Dodge, motor car manufacturers, and stockholI- CTS in the Ford company. The Dodge brothers are seeking permanent injunc- ton to compel Ford to use the profits of his company for dividends instead of for developing his business.
 Fords attorneys argued today that con tracts for the construction of large smelting plant near Detroit had been let and that the Ford company would lose Q large amount of money unless the work vas resumed immediately.
 Ford offered to give bond to reiIn- purse the Dodge brothers for any loss to them if Ford is permanently restrained from carrying out his shelter project. The offer was not approved.
 The court also denied a motion that the Dodge brothers give sS000,00O bond to insure the Ford company against loss as result of the injunction proceedings

MANUF LECTURERS OF / PAPER ARE BLAMED
 FOR SITUATION N
Some Publishers Think Only Way Out Is to Begin to Finance Their
 Own Mills

Washington, December 1S.--The federal trade commission in confer ence today with newspaper publish CTS, paper manufacturers and jobbers in an effort to work out a plan for relieving the news print paper situ- ation, addressed inquiries to all the interests concerned throughout the country to ascertain if any actual news print shortage exists.
 Publishers of the larger papers were asked if they will relinquish some of the paper they have contracted for during 1917; small publishers were asked the extent of their 1917 needs manufacturers were directed to in- form the commission concerning 1917 contracts and their next years produc- ton and jobbers were required to fur nish general information regarding the amount of news print paper they will handle.
 The conference discussed plan proposed by manufacturers under which large publishers would give up } per cent of their 1917 contract sup :. plies to fill the needs of small pub fishers. There was a growing objec- tion on the part of the large publish CTS to this proposal. The contention was advanced that no actual shortage exists and that manufacturers are to blame if there is a shortage next year.
 Plans of the publishers for fnanc. ing paper mills to help take care of newspaper needs, it was said are rap idly taking shape. Some publishers are of the opinion this is the only way to increase their news print pro duction and that the publishers of the

While there is nothing definite as to the allies accepting the German peace overtures, all are eagerly awaiting Lloyd-George's speech, expected tomor- row. which will be something official. The railroad list wants to go up, and will as soon as the liquidation in other stocks is over. Utah, which was conspicuous by it's strength in the copper group, is now conspicuous by it's weakness. Motor stocks have been under pressure all day.
 It looks as though some support was be- ing given to Willys- Overland. It is either that or a big short interest which was covered whenever the balance of the market declines. We had big decline in the list outside of the railroads. We have not had the big selling of stocks which is necessary to reduce loans. We think this will have to come in the in dustrial list before the situation clears up.

Food Restrictions Are
 Now in Force in England

London, December 1S.-The first food restriction went into force in England today. Hotels and restaprants are now forbidden to serve more than four courses for breakfast or luncheon and three courses for dinner.
 Little inconvenience was experienced at the first two meals. The English mans usual breakfast consists of d cereal and bacon, eggs, or fish; and a luncheon of two courses is the rule. A dinner of three courses will be ample for many, as hors d'oeuvres and soup count only half course. Then diners will have the choice of fish and en- trees. or roasts with vegetables and deserts. Cheese with bread and butter or crackers is not counted as course.

 The committees of publishers and manufacturers will be called into con- ference again, probably next week, to discuss the situation. It is expected the replies to the inquiries will have been received by then and details of the plan of distribution proposed will have been worked out to some extent
 statement issued by the commit tee today at the conclusion of the conference, after referring to tele- grams sent by associations of pub fishers, manufacturers and jobbers, said:
 'rrhe commission finds, however, that many publishers, and particular ly the smaller publishers of the coun- try. are not affiliated with associa- tions and, therefore. will not be di- rectly reached through the telegrams sent out by the publishers committees. Such publishers are requested by the commission to send full information concerning their present situation as to supply and their minimum require rients for next year direct to the of flee of the commission in Washington

 The butter trust at present Is trying to secure the passage Of bill fixing d standard o( color so white that peanut and cotton seed oil cannot be used, and to destroy the flavor by preventing the mixing of butter with oleomargarine.

 Mr. Ashcraft expects the Aswell bill to pass. It would greatly relieve not only those who deal in cotton seed, but those who are engaged in the grinding of pea nuts in Alabama and other states.

REPORT FROM TIGRIS

London, December S.-The British forces on the Tigris front have improved their positions in the last two days, all though no resumption of offensive opera tions on a considerable scale Is indi- cated in todays official report on these operations. The gains made below Kut- El-Amara last week were achieved with comparatively small losses, the statement says.
 During Saturday and Sunday General Maude extended his hold over the Hai river and consolidated the line at Ma gasis Kali-Haji- Fahan, while the en- emy's positions were bombarded with good results the announcement says. Cavalry reconnoisances during the day disclosed the fact that the Turks are con- structing new pontoon bridge west of the Shutran bend of the Tigris, some six to eight miles west of Kut-El- -Amara. Several large parties of Arabs have been driven off by shell fire.
 'The total casualties to date are in- considerable, a large proportion of wounds being slight.

Ayery'S Letter

Today's cotton market was rather dis appointing one, as it usually is on Mon- days. Liverpool made very good show. ing. but our market seemed to lack snar and in spite of the bulish technical posi- tion lost about % points from Saturday $ close
 There was a runior that the National Ginners would show 4S0,000 bales gjnned during the period ending December 13 which is. in my opinion, a little full and do not believe the government will con- firm these figures
 The recent decline in the market and uncertainty over the peace movement has demoralzed the trade and until there are further developments and more definite trend it looks like anybody's guess. and I prefer looking on for the time being. 3
