Sarah Elizabeth Crowder was

The Parcel Post Sale

The parcel post sale held by the
Ladies Aid Society Of the Methodist
church last Saturday was a new
stunt in Laclede and proved to be
popular and an interesting event.
Eighty one packages were received
from members and friends of the
society and church and every one
was sold within an hour or two.
1t was like buying a pig in a
poke" as the packages were sold
without opening and the buyers
had no idea what they were getting
until after they had parted with
two-bits. They were all worth the
money, however, and the pur-
chasers satisfied. Refreshments
were served and the afternoon net
ted the society something over $40.

Court Turns Down Application

County court was in session at
Linneus Monday and Tuesday.
The full proceedings will be found
in THE BLADE today. Tuesday
afternoon the session was held in
the circuit court room and the
matter of making an allowance for
a county farm agent was heard.
Voluminous petitions both for and
against the proposition were sub
mitted and numerous speeches
were heard. State Manager Ross
of the farm bureau department
was present from Columbia and
thoroughly explained what kind of
an organization would have to be
perfected and what amount would
have to be put up by the county in
order to get the federal and state
aid. The petitions for the appro-
priation out numbered the remons-
frances by nearly 200, yet the
court unanimously denied the ap-
pllcation and Linn county will be
without the services of farm
agent for awhile at least.

GARFIELD WILL SAVE FUEL BY
 |ND|RECT|0N NOW

Washington, December S.-Curtail- ment of non-essential industries to save fuel and transportation will be accomplished for the present, at least almost wholly by indirection. This was made clear today in official quar- ters. where it was indicated there probably will be no direct denial of either fuel or transportation to any industries.
 The best plan, it has been decided is to begin at the top of the list and assure coal and rail movement to the essentials. This in itself will go far towards accomplishing the ends sought. Fuel Administrator Garfield already has sent to coal producers preferred list of consumers to serve them as guide in filling orders and at his request the railroads are giving preference to coal shipments.
 The committee on priority of trans portation, of which Robert S. Lovett is chairman, is disposed to go at the problem of denying rail movement of non- essential deliberately. It is even likely, it was learned today, that no general priority order giving pref erential movement to certain com modities will be issued, at least for time. Members of the committee think the railroads through their pooling best can handle the situation them

NO MUSCLE SHOALS
 DECISION ANNOUNCED

Prior to official announcement noth- ing can be positively established regard ing government plans in the environ of
 Muscle Shoals. This was the deduction of Senator Underwood following an in- formal investigation this morning The experimental plant is a certainty, and he is convinced that the permanent plant, together with the construction ot
 a dam across the shoals is a practical
 certainty
 As to other developments however, he could learn nothing. He does not be- iieve, however, that an Age Herald dis patch from Florence to the effect that a third project to cost $30 100000 is con templated, can be established IS fact. An interesting report current today de- clares the DuPonts have accepted the invitation of the government to con- struct powder mill to be operated near
 Muscle Shoals in conjunction with two government plants contemplated l Senator Bankhead states that the re- l port is feasible. and is possibly true Nothing official, however can be
 learned. The deal between the govern
 ment and the Alabama Power company whereby the latter will supply power for
 government plants pending the con struction of the Muscle Shoals dam. is
 pra ctically completed The company is represented in Washington at present by
 Thomas w. Martin. it's vice president ] The deal will necessitate the construc- ] tion of power house on the Tennessee
