full business and has a large cir
Gle of pleased customers. With
a capital and surplus of $86, 800

half a million dollars. This
speaks well for the managers of
the institution, whose conserva-
tbs m and careful business
methods have won the conf
dence of the public.
, The officers who have man.
aged the affairs of the bank dur
ing. the past year are: Gus
Drews, President; E. w. Drei-
tbholz Vice-President; F. D.
Winchester, Cashier; A. B.
OBrien, Assistant Cashier; Miss

\ The present Board of Direc-
tors is composed of the following
gentlemen Messrs. Gus Drews,

Speaking of the prosperity of
the community, Mr.. Winchester
said to a representative of the
Review:
IF you want this community
to enjoy its share Of prosperity
then spend your money in your
home stores. BY sending your
money to another city for an ar
ticles that could be bought just
as cheaply in your home town,
you are doing yourself an injus-
tice.
IF you want better stores, bet
ter schools, better public build
ings; if you want to make your
home town prosperous and a bet
ter place to live in, patronize
your local merchants.
In helping to make your own
community more prosperous you
are helping to make yourself
more prosperous. See what your
local dealer has to offer before
trading elsewhere"

N Sheffield. March .-(Special )-Today |harks the end of a 12-months since an Elvent of great import to Alabama was |ecorded. It was on March 12, 1917, that
 3he inter-departmental nitrate board, Ipmposed of three members of President
 Wilson's cabinet, came to Alabama to in- nestigate the wonderful potentialities of Muscle Shoals and to hear a presentation M the merits of the Muscle Shoals site.

 ornal presentation of the Muscle Shoals aims were heard in Birmingham, when srof. Willis G. Waldo of Vanderbilt Uni ,,ersity; Gov. Emmett O'Neal, Mrs Math- < and others, presented convincing ar- iument and made it plain to the govern nent board that the site offered at Auscle Shoals was ideal and incompara- .le for the governments nitrate indus fy, for which Congress had already appropriated $20,000,0OO.

bers marveled at the claims put forth by the advocates of the Tennessee river site and were greatly impressed.
 Following the hearing in Birmins- ham the government officials proceeded to Decatur, where the government boat, Lookout was boarded for the journey down the river to Muscle Shoals and Sheffield. The grand old Tennessee river was at flood stage and the vast expanse of water undoubtedly made an everlast- ing impression on the government off cers. Numbered among those who were fortunate enough to participate in the expedition besides Secretaries Baker. Lane and Houston, were the following: Senator John Fl. Bankhead. Congressman Edward B. Almon. Col. J. w. Worthing- ton, Prof. Willis G. Waldo, Mai. w. $. Vim, Maj. Lytle Brown, Col c. w. Ashcraft, Judge J. H. Nathan J. E. Hall, J. B. Shute and three newspaper cores pondents, Paul Stevenson. H. D. Hark- reader and H. Fontaine Little.
 On arriving at Muscle Shoals an ex- tensive examination was made and again the secretaries of the Presidents cab inet were impressed. They were reti- cent and non-committal, however, and many became apprehensive lest it meant that the Muscle Shoals cause had been lost There were others who ahided the time with confidence, believing that in the final summing up Muscle Shoals would be selected by the government authorities as the best site in Alabama for the $20,0000Oo nitrate plants The campaign under the able guidance of Col J. w. Worthington for recognition of the Muscle Shoals site continued re- lentlessly. It was fraught with uncer- tafnty and anxiety. What was finally accomplished has become history The government after stamping its seal of approval upon Muscle Shoals, proceeded to esta blish great plants here and today they are in the course of construction.
 The immense sum of s6o,o0o0o0 is be- ing expended in these great developments instead of the s20,OOo,oo0 originally appro- priated by Congress for the great nitrate plant. The development in it's entirety includes the Muscle Shoals dams, the synthetic ammonia plants in West Shelf field and the great cyanamid works in East Sheffield
 Before the end of another 12-month it is not unlikely that the Muscle Shoals development will be augmented by other industrial acquisitions of an extensive kind.

DECATUR

Decatur. March 1e. - (speciai.)-A number of we'll known citizens from Decatur, Albany Hartselle and other sections of this county will go to Mont gomery on April 4 to attend the anti amendment convention called to meet in that city on that date.
 There is strong opposition to the amendment in this county and if the question were left to a vote of the people there is but little doubt of the future of the amendment to ratify.
 The First Baptist church of Albany believes in doing things. They are building a handsome new house of wor- ship, and besides this. have given many donations to various branches of the church. Last night following an ad- dress by the Rev. w. T. Quisenberry, a representative of the foreign mission board of Richmond. Va. the church pledged $100 for the support of a mis- sionary in China.

GEN. MORTON INTERESTED

AnniSton, March 12.-(Special. Mai j. Gen. Charles c. Morton, commanding tho Twenty ninth division, and Brig. Gen. Harry IT. Bandholtz commanding the Fifty-eighth infantry brigade, have both become very much interested in the Anniston star community war gar den and the turning of the land next Friday will have more than one in- dication of their interest.
 General Morton issued an order Tuesday morning for the attendance of one of the best bands on the reser- vation and the soldier music makers will parade through the streets and lead the crowds to the garden plot on Moore avenue.
 General Morton also donates free of charge to the community garden 40 wagon loads of stable manure from the cantonment and the wagons will begin delivering the fertilizer thus ob- tained Wednesday or Thursday.
 Friday is maneuver day for the Fjtty- eighth infantry brigade and
 while it Is not a certainty yet, it is
 not improbable that the entire bri- gade will be marched through the streets of Anniston and lend the in- fluence of their presence to the pre- liminary work on the garden plot. Gen. eral Bandholtz has already planned a maneuver for that day and it will be made to include march through the city streets about noon Friday if it can be done without a disarrangement Of the regular schedule of training
 The presence of the crack military band of the Blue and Gray division. coupled with the interest the people of Anniston should and do feel in
 the success of the community war garden, will no doubt result in the assembling of thousands of people to view the parade and later witness the work of the big International Har- vester company truck to be operated
 by J. H. Harwood in turning the ground on which the war garden Is to be located.
 The Boy Scout troops of the city will probably augment the presence of the band from the camp and in case the infantry brigade passes through the city they will be invited
 to lead the older soldiers as they pass through the city in heavy marching order.
 General Morton and General Band holtz make request of the people of
 Anniston.' They both ask that tha whole population of the city get be- hind the movement to make the An- niston war garden the best in the state and add that if the people ap- preoiate the presence of the soldiers ard the interest they feel in the movement to get behind the movement and support it actively

A half-acre garden, if cared fer properly. will produce far more vege- tables than the average family can consume during the maturing period of the crops. Only small portion of a garden of this size should be de- voted to those vegetables that must be used as soon as they reach matu- rity It is advisable to devote the ma jor portion of the space to those crops which if not needed at once may be kept for winter use. In fact, if the space is available the garden should be planned with the definite purpose Of growing crops for storage for win ter use.

I.imas and other pole beans may be planted around the fence, it being possible in this way to produce considerable quantities of dried beans for winter use. The pods should be allowed to remain on the vInes until dry enough to rattle, should then be gathered, spread on the att tic floor or in some other dry place and when dry. shelled and stored in bags
 Plants which grow high and cause heavy shade should not be located where they will interfere with sun loving small plants. It is well, also to separate perenials, such as rhubarb and asparagus, which are not cultivated, from the plants which must be titled.
 The same kind of vegetables should nor be grown twice, if this can be avoided, in the same part of the gar den. If a radically different kind is grown. disease spores and insects, though present in the soil, probably will not attack the second crop.

 WORK GARDEN ALL SEASON

It is possible in nearly all sections O. the country to grow late beets, late cabbage, late potatoes and turnips on ground that has already produced a crop of lettuce, radishes, beans, early peas, early potatoes, or some crop re- quiring a relatively short period for it's maturity. Gardeners are Inclined to neglect the opportunities for crop production in the garden after the first part of the season has passed and frequently space is allowed to lie idle that should be producing a crop of late potatoes, cabbage. or turnips. In sections where the season is short 1t IS possible to plant the late crops be- tween the rows of early crops before the early crops are removed, thus gaining two or three weeks time.
 Late potatoes may be planted on ground from which early peas or string beans have been removed

 Notwithstanding the fact that the date of the democratic primary elec- tion is drawing nearer every day, there is but little doing in political circles up to this time in this county and in this end of the state.
 But little interest is as yet manf- fested in the race for the nomination for governor. There is but one an- nouncement for state senator and one for the state legislature. A sheriff is to be elected this year and at present there are no announcements for this office.
 There Is some talk here that Col. J. w. Worthington of Sheffield may make the race for Congress, but there is nothing definite about his entering the race.
