NIGHT SHIFT AT
 BESSEMER PLANT Busy on Cuban and South
 American Orders LEDGER WINS SUIT Two Motion Pictures Are Being. Made in Bessemer Now.
 Local People in
 the Casts

Bessemer, February 16-(Special.)-T Bessemer Foundry and Machine com pany has put on a night shift at it's plant on Eighth avenue greatly increasing the output of the plant The installa- tion of a night force was made necessary on account of the volume of orders, a number of which are for sugar house machinery and will go to South America and Cuba The Bessemer plant has made an enviable reputation in the making of sugar house machinery, and is equipped for the handling of the largest casting used in making tfis product.

A portion of the plant was destroyed by fire several years ago but was rebuilt and it is now one of the most modern of it's kind in this district. Louis Hos ter, Sr., is president.
 A verdict in favor of the defendant was returned today in the case of A. J. Keith vs the Birmingham Ledger com- pany by the jury after being out about 10 minutes. The plaintiff was seeking damages for alleged decrease in patron age, which he claimed was caused by an article appearing in the Ledger dur ing the typhoid fever epidemic last sum- mer to the effect that various lakes and pleasure resorts in this district were polluted and persons were warned not to bathe in them. The statement to that effect was alleged to have come from Commissioner Hornady, and West Lake, of which Keith was manager, was men ,tioned among others.
 Much interest is being manifested in the taking of motion picture in Besse- mer by the Ring syndicate and large crowds are watching the work Miss Mary Donahue and Miss Margaret Merry are playing the leading roles and are supported by Ralph Snider and John O'RourlSe. Others in the cast are Miss Dessie Stewart, Miss Alice Hicks, Miss Vertna Randall, Miss Florence Kelly May, Miss Christopher, Mrs. B. P. Lacey pr. A. E. Patton and others.

The scenario was written by local people and is full of interest and snappy ac- tion. Its name has not been chosen US

How to Grow Onions.

Because the high price of onions
will lead many home gardeners thi;
spring to planting this vegetable, Iowa
State college gives a few suggestions
as to their culture that may be valu
able. On the average, onions pay bet
ter returns per acre over labor and
other cost OF production than any
staple vegetable, unless it be early to
matoes, say the college men.
Plant Southport Red Globe. If you
buy seed, test it by holding in damp
cloths or blotters for 4S hours. II
should test 80 per cent or better. Dc
not use INFESTED seed.
Use the best and cleanest ground
you can get. The soil should be rich
in plant food. Old gresyers say "toc
much we'll rotted manuye cannot be
added" Harrow, plank and disc the
ground. Sow about to 5 pounds OF
seed to the acre if they are to be thin
ned; if not, 3 IL to 4 pounds is good
Sow "a inch deep and IL inches be-
tween rows. Plant as soon as the
ground is fit. Wheel hoe as soon as
you can see the row, perhaps every
fourth row, to stop the fine sand from
drifting with the wind and cutting the
plants. Keep the wheel hoe and com
mon hoe going all summer.
One of the surest methods for the
amateur grower is to plant set (slnall
onions). These are placed in the
ground, 3 to inches apart and in rows
IL inches apart At these distances it
requires about to 8 bushels to the
acre for best results.

How to Plant Trees and Shrubs,

Order all trees and shrubs at once
to get good selection. When they
arrive do not let them lie around with
roots exposed, as this will soon dry
out the young roots. and kill them.
Freezing is also fatal If they cannot
be planted at once, cover the roots. In
planting, have the hole deep and
tom, but not in direct contact with
the roots. Spread the roots out and
pack the soil carefully about them,
tramping it firmly in place. Water
new paintings during the dry season
of their first year.
