Respect Your Work.

The girl who is so lacking in
self respect as to be ashamed Of
any honest work commands no
respect. She who endeavors to
do whatever work her hands find
to do in the best and most thoro
manner, as by Gods law, makes
that and the action fine. 1t is not
so.much the work as the manner
in which it is done that enobles or
disgraces the worker. A well
scrubbed floor is a much more use
ful work than a stupid oil painting
in which much valuable canvass
and other material has gone to
waste. Intelligence and faithful
ness tell in every department of
work. Respect your work what
ever that work may be, and re-
member that the best, brightest
and wisest of men and women
will respect you for it.

MUSCLE SHOALS TO Be
SURVEYED BY j. S.
ENGINEERS.

Sheffield, Feb 15.-lt became
known here last night that the
war department of the fedora
government in Washington hac
ordered a survey of the streams III
the prescribed territory where the
$50, 100000 nitrate plant may be
located. That several sites are
now to be considered for the pro
posed plant comes as startling
news to the people of this section,
it heing the expressed opinion OF
every man. woman and child. that
no other site could possibly be
considered, separately or in con
junction with the site that is offer
ed here at Muscle Shoals.
The presumption is that Muscle
Shoals will continue to be serious
ly considered, even if several other
sites are to be visited and inspect
ed by government off cials. 1t is
believed here that Muscle Shoals
will stand comparison with any
site in the country. Without
doubt the merits of this site are
greater than all others combined,
and this has been conceded even
by army engineers.
The site finally selected will OF
course be in the territory embrac-
ed in the safety zone far removed
from the seaboard, and which
covers a comparatively small area,
being besides remote from dangers
incident to invasion, Muscle
Shoals lies within this prescribed
zone. Several other sites do not.
Perhaps when the matter is settled
it will simply be a case of sur
vival of the fittest" that is if one
site only is selected, in which
event Muscle Shoals will be desig-
mated. If, as a result of the forth
coming survey, the $50, ,0O0. 200
appropriation is divided ard more
thap one plant constructed, then
surely Muscle Shoals will be in
cluded.
AT least the matter of locating
the plant or plants is yet under
consideration and will be deter
mined after a thorough and COM
plete investigation for the enlight-
eminent of those who are to make
the selection. In this particular
the results cannot possibly be un-
favorable TO Muscle Shoals. 1T
can be said of the people here that
none are apprehensive of the final
oatcome1a and this is evidence OF
their confidence in the merits Aof
the local site winning the $20,-
900, 900 plant.

To the people of Mississippi
TO settle>and answer finally
the oft-repeated question, will
there be an extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose OF
passing bone dry legislation in
Mississippi. | desire to make this
statement. When the decision OF
the Supreme court of the United
States made it possible for the
Legislature to make he state alb
solutely dry, | Immediately wired
each member of the Legislature,
asking them their position on this
important measure, and Tam sure
it will be gratifying to know that
between So and 90 per cent of
their senators and representatives
have filed in my office their pledge
to rid Mississippi absolutely of
whisky and all intoxicating drinks,
and while majority of the legis-
laturc were in,favor of the extra
ordinary session | believe it would
be mistake to call the Legisla-
ture in extraordinary session for
this purpose so long as iniative
and referendum is part of our
organic law. The Supreme Court
of Mississippi did not decide the
constitutionalty of this measure
in any of the recent cases that
have been before it and if shonfd
call the Legislature together and
the absolute prohibitive bill be
passed, the whisky people and
their sympathizers would at once
file the petition with six thousand
names or more and in this sus
pend the operation of this law un-
til the next general election,
which will be held in November,
1918
Let me take occasion to say
that a bill will be passed at the
next session of the Legislature
aud Mississippi will be made alb
solutely dry.
Il shall insist that the Legisla-
ture place liquor regulations in
our constitution and remove this
question forever from our legisla-
tive halls and from the ballot box.
Yours for a greater Mississippi,

Yes, sir, and INDUSTRY, too,

have known a preacher who was
very fond of milk. and yet he
would rather do without it than

than milk the finest Jersey in the
land. Some preachers have been
so neglected in their industrial
education that they are unable to
sharpen n razor and shave them

in whose family work was so un-
popular that his boys took the

some hustler himself. Have you
