1 The necessary lands have been secured under option of the government, and altogether 22O0 acres will be required In | this huge development the government proposes to expend approximately $3O,- l 000,000, irrespective of the experimental l plants already under way in West Shef- 1 field.
 l The city of Sheffield has become the
 l hub" of governmental activity in this section. What the government is doing and will do here has spread from one
 end of the country to the other Ap-
 parently the composite eye of the entire
 | United States has become fixed on Shef- l field. And Sheffield has set to work to build and scatter and spread to, the de- gree that these extraordinary conditions
 l warrant. Indeed, it may be said that Sheffield is becoming big, burly man l sized Amazon, imbued with the spirit of
 outstripping all other neighboring towns. PEOPLE AWAKENED l Its people are thoroughly awakened | and are lending every enegy to carry forward the great developments and pre- pairing for the oncoming rush, which is now inevitably ahead. Nesting close | to the foothills of Muscle Shoals on the 1 south banks of the majestic Tennessee river, this booming city bids fair to outgrow all other Tennessee valley towns and ultimately become the me- tropolis of the northern half of the state Aside from the vast government de- velopment, various other industries are in operation here, and many others are preparing to locate here, presaging still greater development along all lines. And these industries will require many hun dreds of skilled workers and laborers, and the latter are arriving here in great numbers, finding ready employment In- dications are that Sheffield's present population of 5000 will be more than doubled within years time. The busi- ness district is rapidly expanding and l in all retail lines extensive business is being done.
 | Truly the coming of the morrow prom | ises wonderful opportunities in this city and section.

 been completed and all is now in readi- ness to begin work on the construction of the brick roadway between Anniston and Camp Mcclellan upon which Col. Charles l.. Dulin, constructing quarter master at the camp, the Anniston Cham Der of Commerce, and the Calhoun county commissioners have been work ing for sometime.
 Following the completion of plans worked out by Colonel Duln, a commit tee went before the county commission CTS sometime ago and secured and ap propriation of $65, ,000, following which Congressman Fred l.. Blackmon went to Washington and secured an additional appropriation from the war department of approximately $70,0O0 to complete the work. The bonds for the county's pro- rata share of the work have been placed in the hands of L. c. Watson, secretary of the Anniston Chamber of Commerce, and Colonel Dulin is now ready to begin the work of construction when some mi- nor details have been completed
 While no definite plans in this con- nection have been taken, it is hoped to so construct this road that there will be room to run a street railway in the center and efforts are still being made to get the Alabama Power company or some independent syndicate to build line to Camp Mcclellan.

A few weeks ago it was announced in Washington that experimental nitrate plants and powder mills, to cost s, GOO, 900, would be built at Sheffield. Today the government would further augment this great industry by the building of dams across the Tennessee river at Muscle Shoals, which is in close proximity and adjacent to the eastern boundary line of this city, where additional plants for the manufacture of nitrates and war mu- nitions will be established

Potatoes are looking very fine Sa-

crops. And we hope to see this fair
promise of a good harvest fulfilled;

Our young ladies are planning to
join the Camp Fire Girls and our boys
to join the Boy Scouts. This will be
fine for both. But by the pink Lord
Prophet, what will the old bachelors
join I'd like to know. Possibly we
might form a Mutual Comissivation
club only for the fact that sometimes
we are not sure that it should be a
Mutual Thanksgiving club. l think
we need a Ladies' (young) Aid So
ciety more than anything else.

Last Saturday night was election
night for the Sahara Civic Center
club, and the following officers were
elected: President, w. L. Shultz;
vic~e-president, J. E. Farley; secre-
tary, Laura Hedrick. Mr.. Hoxie had
announced his wish for the club to
celebrate July As at Purple Sage
ranch (the old Mackelprang ranch.)
The Club voted to accept the invita-
ton. Mr.. Hoxie then requested that
this club extend invitations to the
clubs at Lund, Beryl, Yale, Heist and

The Red Cross party left sixteen
Red Cross ribbons with w. l.. Shultz
for sale for the good cause. To our
people I will say that if you cannot
"do your bit" in any other way you
can at least put in $1.00 or more into
the Red Cross fund. Always remem-
bering that you may have a friend
or relative Somewhere in the War;
who may be sadly in need of an effici-
ent Red Cross care. The only way
available at present to attain a pro-
ficient Red Cross rests with any and
all of us through popular subscrip-
tons. For one dollar you can do your
bit to help along the care of our
wounded and dying soldier boys
somewhere in France. Possibly be-
fore the end of the struggle, much
nearer home as we'll This money,
for the sale of these badges, must
reach Parowan on or before June 20
Come through. Don't be a Stacker
Who knows, you might need the Red
Cross assistance yourself before the
war is over. Here's your chance to
establish a thorough foundation from
which our Red Cross may work.
