for the production Of ammonium
phosphate rock, brought from the
southern fields, will be combined
with the nitrates and converted in
10 that important ingredient OF all
phosphate.
Think Of the profitable employ
ment which would be offered thous-
ands Of young men OF the South, and
the capital which would be brought
10 this section.
But most important and vital Of
all, think OF the wonderfully produc-
tive and profitable farms which
would result from the production
Of high-grade, cheap, commercial
fertilizers for the whole South.
This is infinitely the most impor-
tant result which would accrue from
the establishment Of this nitrate
plant. Give the farmer cheap fer
tilizers. increase the production OF
his lands, and you not only make
the farmer rich and independent,
but at the same time, you build
cities and towns and furnish life
and substance for the transporta-
tion companies.
Is such a plant, then, worth the
energy and effort required TO secure
it9 Most emphatically, YES The
location OF such plant in the South
is worth every effort that the peo-
pie Of this section can bring TO bear
upon those in authority TO induce
them 10 choose the Muscle Shoals
location.
Rally around the standard, then,
southern citizens, and make the most
Of this golden opportunity.

Aroused by the attitude of the Sad
die and Cycle club in defending its
gardener, Nicholas NIGGA, who was
responsible for the death of 15-year-
old Willie Ulrey, the Boys Brother
hood Republic last night voted to as
sist the prosecution of the gardener.
The city council of the republic
held special meeting last night at
1927 w. 18th st. tO'cOnsider the boys
case. 1t was voted to offer the seTv-
ices Of their counselor to the states
attorneys Office in the trial of NIGGA.
The plan of the club at this time
is to circulate petitions, by which
they hope to get $4,000 signatures as
a protest against Colin c. H. Fyffe
and other silk-stocking directors of
the club who are taking the attitude
that the gardener had a right to hurl
the heavy shears that caused young
Ulrey's death because "he was tres
passing on the clubs private prop
eTty."
A letter may also be sent County
Judge SCully, who appointed Colin
Fyffe to the $5,OOO-a-year position as
attorney for the election board,
which job he handles when he can
spare time from his anti-uniOn labor
work as counsel for the Illinois Man
ufacaturers' assn. The letter will
be in the nature of a complaint
against Fyffe holding a job paid for
by the public's money.
The meeting last night was not so
much an indictment of the gar
dener as an Indictment of the cold
blooded manner in which Fyffe treats
the boys death. Fyffe first tried to
suppress the story of the wOunding
of the boy, and then announced that
as NIGGA was doing right the club
would defend him with all its wealth
and political influence.

THE ANTLEREO HERO
AWAITS THY PRESENCE

The Elks never do anything that
anybody else has done before They
are the folk of ingenious originality.
1t tests the powers of clever com
mitteemen, however, to make their
events so original as to bring further
proof that there is absolutely no
truth in rumor started several thou
sand years ago that there is nothing
new under the sun
The committee that has charge of
the big fest of 1862 on the evening of
the 18th has, however, complied with
all the requirements and then some.
1t has elaborated three ring circus
with ten side SHOWS, the band play
ing all the time. This charity fete
is open to all II costs nothing to
get in and all are invited, but all are
expected to bring little change
with them. Nothing will cost over a
jitney dime. ADJUSTMENTS will be
abundant and refreshments galore.
The wonder is how such handsome
and valuable prizes can be supplied
for the money
