TWENTY MILLIONS FOR
GREAT NITRATE PLANT.

Secretary of War Baker wants
Congress to appropriate twenty mil
lion dollars for the completion of the
great dam and mira plant ON the
Tennessee River, at Muscle Shoals,
near Florence and Sheffield, Alaba-
ma. The plan calls for equipping the
plant to turn out nitrogen in avail
able form for agricultural uses-and
Mr.. Baker explains that the only
way the government can play even on
the seventy millions already spent is
to finish and operate the plant-the
dam across Tennessee river being in
tended to generate electric power. Mr..
Baker proposes to operate the nj
trate plant by a corporation in which
the government will be the sole stock
holder. The people of the towns nam
ed are jubilant over the prospect.

G. TOM TAILOR is
B. STILL A GOOD FELLOW.

One day last week o. X. Houk, a
Memphis business man, went out to
raise his daily thousand dollars for
the Roosevelt Memorial fund and met
Tom Taylor, who now has a planta-
tion in Mississippi. Mr.. Houk did not
mention the fact that he had pock-
ct full Of the memorial fund subscrip-
ton blanks, but Tom brought up the
subject and taking out his check book
wrote an order on his bank for hun
dred dollars. Mr.. Houck thanked Tom
and said tom you have saved MY
life" Tom asked how and Mr.. Houk
told him that when he met him he
lacked just S105.50 of having rails
ed his daily thousand dollars for the
memorial fund. Tom asked for his
check back and when II was handed
him tore it up and wrote new check
for $I05.50. It will be remembered
that Tom Taylor came from Linden,
was afterward postmaster at Union
City and under Governor Hooper was
State Treasurer-and was always and
at all times a good fellow. Each and
every county that has a Tom Taylor
is just that much better off than it
would be without such character.

wOMEN'S VOTES WILL
DECIDE 1920 CONTEST.

AT its recent meeting in Atlantic
City, the executive committee Of the
Democratic national committee faced
sqdareiy thessaet shat In the i lrll
tional election the women's vote Of
the country will be a deciding factor.
This places heavy responsibility on
the woman's bureau of the Democrat
ic national committee of which Mrs.
George Bass is chairman.
Mrs. Bass believes that the great
majority of women voters in the
country will vote the Democratic
ticket.
| think the women will follow the
trend toward idealism and that they
will vote together on issues that rep
resent the highest conception of ma
tional progress" she said, when in
terviewed by a New York newspaper.
"The women of the United States are
pacifists." and believe that war is
senseless and brutal way of settling
disputes. The women are most inter-
ested in the peace of the world and
in the guaranteeing of that peace.
They followed the President into war
on the theory that it was a war to
end wars.
at is safe to assume that the wo-
men in twenty-five states wills vote
next year, whether the Federal suf-
frage amendment is ratified or not.
Providing they act in concert, they
would control 260 electoral votes
more than enough to determine the
results of the election. The number
of women participating in the last
presidential election was sufficient
to account for SO electoral votes."-

who are i'll and in need of such con-

in the primary of September 9Th.
Hon. F. M. Davis, who was the Sec

CANAL PROJECT.
TObE A|DEDbY
BIG SPEAKERS
Lewis Nixon to Be Asked to
Speak Here---Change Date
of Convention

The New Jersey ship canal
project received another boost
last night at the meeting of the
Intra- Coastal Ship Cananl Associ-
alton at City Hall when action
was taken to effect larger organ
ization, secure prominent speakers
and for financial canvass.
Steps were also taken to secure
a monster gathering at the COM
ing convention, the date of which
was changed until Oct. %.
In order to get the canal project
before every municipality in the state
and to have these municipalities boost
the project at all times, 1t was decided
to have Mayor Frank Dorsey take up
the question with the League of Munic
ipalities and have this body bring the
subject before all the cities. boroughs
and towns who are members of the
League.
This League is in close touch with
almost every municipality in the state
and is in position to lay questions of
this sort before the municipalities for
their action.
1t was also planned to hold a meet
ing in the near future at South AM
boy and Charles L. Steuerwald, John
F. TenBroeck, I. T. Madsen. John HI.
Fritzinger and Charles /. Silk were ap-
pointed committee and arrange for
a meeting of the citizens at that place.
Plans were begun for a big booster
meeting to be held in this city, at
which Lewis Nixon, Public Utility
Commissioner of New York.. will be
requested to speak on the canal pro-
ject. The date selected for the meet
ing was August IA, but this date cam
not be definitely decided upon until
1t is learned whether or not 1t will be
found convenient for Commissioner
Nixon to be here at that time.
The date for the big Intra-Coastai
Ship Canal Association convention to
be held here, and which was announc-
ed some days ago, was definitely de-
cided upon for Thursday, October 23.
1t is expected that this convention
will be one of the big things to be
attempted In boosting the canal and
efforts will be made at once to have
representatives from every city, town
and hamlet in the state present at the
meeting as we'll as representatives
from other states. 1t is expected that
many Of the leading men of the state
who are interested in the canal pro-
ject, will be present at this conven-
ton and speak on the project.

No reply has been heard from the
Public Service Street Railway Com

though they have been notified thai
the work must be done.
Should the company fail to do the
work, action will be taken compelling
them to live up to the terms of their
franchise, which calls for the same
type of pavement as that laid by the
