Investment OPPORTUNITIES

The crying and most urgent need in
Sheffield today is homes for Its greatly
increased population. There is not an
empty storeroom or dwelling in the city,
and people are camping under tents. II
is affirmed BY those who know that so
small dwellings should be built at once.
These could be rented before completion
at good price This circumstances
sholld be investigated by those desiring
profitable Investment, and 1t seems as
sured that any who are able and Will
| buy lot and lease or build at Sheffield
may be certain OF permanent profit. Ad-
dress the Sheffield Commercial club for
facts and general information.

New Business" at Sheffield

Aside from the usual dealers in mer-
chandise staples, already augmented IN
number and each apparently prosperous
a visitor at Sheffield cant help noticing
the great variety OF small enterprises
along the main streets and on vacant
lots in temporary structures. Practt-
cally eve@thing is represented, from q
knife and cane rack to not dos
emporium. Refreshment places, pool
rooms. shine stands-even dance hall
under canvas-all bearing evidence or
newness and temporary character ap-
peal to the heterogeneous class OF peo-

already under construction and II -
confidently expected that on the Ia
coo miles of navigable waters connect
ed with Muscle Shoals there VIII
spring up a traffic in heavy freight
that will more nearly compare with
the navigation on the Great Lakes
than with the old steamboat traffic III
its days of greatest prosperity. Already
there has been arranged between
Muscle Shoals and Peoria, H., a
through line of barges carrying pig
iron and despite the fact that this iron
is loaded in the old inefficient way 1t
is delivered at less cost and in less
time than would have been the case
il it were shipped by rail.
INDUSTRIAL ADVANTAGE
With the completion of the Muscle
Shoals dams will come the opening of
the upper Tennessee river to naviga-
tior. traffic and the millions of feet of
great variety of timber will become
one of the valuable assets to indus
tries established in this locality.
The conditions are especially favorable
to the development of the iron and steel
industries, and when the cheap hydro
electric power on the Tennessee river is
available, this locality, with its brown
iron ores, it's cheap transportation and
cheap pOWSrp win nave d aAAoSt pAoiiA1SiA5
future as a location of iron and steel
production. The great drawback in the
use of southern iron ores, as Is well
known, has been, in most cases, their
high content of PHOSPHORUS and sulphur,
but the advent of electric furnaces sup
piled with cheap power eliminates these
objections in southern ores and makes
possible the manufacture in the south OF
the highest grade of electric steel, sur
passing in quality even the costly steel
OF the crucible process and yet produced

SHEFFIELD'S ATTRACTIVE

With all of its industrial advantages.
Sheffield combines an ideal location for
an attractive residential city. The hills

part of the visitor

U. S, TO HELP RUSSIA
President Decides on Policy at
Special Cabinet Meeting.
Sending Of American Troops to Russia
Not Precluded in Proposed
Plan.

Washington. - The United States
policy towards Russia has been decid
ed on by the President, ii was learned
and action will be taken shortly.
The President has made up his mind
completely on the general features of
the policy he intends to follow. An
nouncement of it, it Is understood,
waits only upon tn working out of
certain details. The decision was
reached at meeting which the Presi-
dent had with his cabinet advisers.
The rebuilding Of the Slav nation
through peaceable aid to the people Of
Russia Is the chief thought underlying
the Presidents plan. This provides :
First, for the sending Of new com
mission to Russia, to be headed by the
ablest man who can be found for the
task, and, second, for an offer of CO.
operation In the establishment Of
agriculture, trade and industry
Under no circumstances and by no
inference is military intervention to be
undertaken by this government. EN-
phasis Is laid on the fact that this
country is not to extend relief to Rus
STA, but that Its policy is to be entire
ly one of mutual aid.
There Is still to be determined also
the authority In Russia to which this
government will make It's proposals.
Whether 1t will be the Czech0-S lavs,
who are variously reported as strong
" organized in Siberia or whether II
Is 10 be the Soviet or some other pow
er In Russia affairs cannot yet be
definitely stated.
American troops may go into Russia
under the policy determined upon, but
il Is stated they will not go In any
guise that can be M taken for armed
military Intervention. They will go as
organized railroad construction units,
as foresters, as transport men and as
Industrial organizers
Their only military duty will be to
police and to protect the great Ameri-
can stores and Supplies that are now
in Russia and that are to go there.
They will aid Russian authority, but
will in no sense dictate.
