 Massengale has the unique distinc- who started in with the first Liberty loan work and ran right through to the end of the Liberty loan. As director of publicity for the Sixth Federal Re- serve district, he had part in shaping the literature and laying out every campaign, most of the time not only for this territory but the whole coun- try as well. Advertising in the south has been an uphill business, growing little by little. and developing step by step. Massengale has been a leader in it, planting an idea here and estab- fishing an ideal there, until it is a great force for good in all parts of the south. This is specially illustrated in the series of advertisements run in the Literary Digest and other large publi- cations, and prepared in his office.
 But here is what did happen: While he was easing up the burden of the Massengale agency fell on the shoul- 6ers of w R. Massengale, St. Elmo's big brother, and business just like the famous little Ford, Iran right along" It kept on coming in increased volume.

the country and whatever contributes to agriculture contributes to the na- tion's industrial and economic welfare, and
 Whereas, The government found it
 necessary in the protection and na-
 tional defense of the country during
 the late war to construct air nitrate
 plants at Muscle Shoals on the Tennes- see river in the state of Alabama at a
 cost of more than $75,000.00O which
 nitrate plants in time of peace can be
 turned into the production of fertilizer
 for the farmers of the country. and
 Whereas, There have been importa-
 tions of Chilean nitrates into the
 United States since the year 1867 to
 the present time costing nearly a half
 billion dollars and of this sum nearly
 sl50,o00.000 was imposed by the coun-
 try of Chile as an export duty There fore be it
 Resolved, by the Mississippi Valley
 association, That it is the judgment and recommendation of this association that Congress should pass the necessary laws and provide the necessary ways
 and means for the operation of the government nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals in the production of air nitro
 gen compounds to be used as fertilizer and thus not only make the United States independent of any supply of ni- trates from Chile or elsewhere needed , Tn time of war, but also free the farm CTS Of the United States from the bur-
 den of the Chilean nitrate monopoly. Resolved further, That this associa- ton recommends that the government with an ample supply of water power at Muscle Shoals encourage and assist any electric furnace processes which will commercially produce not only nitrogen compounds for fertilizer, but also phosphoric acid and if possible. develop by electric furnace processes substitutes for potash from Germany and finally make the United States self-contained and independent of any foreign supply of fertilizer ingredi- ents'.'

 Washington, December 15.-(Special) Tho Mississippi Valley association in session in Washington last week, adopted resolutions ealing upon the government to enact legislation sus- taining for all future uses the air nj j trate plants at Muscle Shoals.
 The members of the association, the headquarters of which are in Chicago, thought it timely to stop in it's con sideration of other subjects, mad ex- press what was tantamount to a com mand that Alabama be given opportun- ity 10 make the United States inde- pendent of Chile and Germany, as far as potash, nitrates and dyes are con cerned It was deemed by the asso- citation necessary that the govern ment continue these plants and develop them, to the end that the burden under which the farmer has long groaned, might be removed.
 In one section the resolutions adopt ed recite the fact that since 1867, the farmer of the United States has paid $500, O00,000 for Chilean nitrates-of which sum, $15o,000,000 was imposed by Chile as an export duty.
 The resolutions, among the strong est ever adopted in behalf of the Ala hama enterprises, follow:

Atlanta, December 15.-(SpeciaL)- St. Elmo Massengale, than whom there is no better known advertising man in the south. is home again with a new sort of smile. He had it in his head that he was sick. an opinion that fre- quent twinges of rheumatism tended to strengthen, so he went out to Roches- ter. Minn.. ten days ago. to see the DTS. Mayo about it. They pounded him and tapped him and looked him over every which way" and pronounced him "All right, save a small ailment, which you can have looked after in Atlanta"
 It was good news to his great host of friends, St. Elmo had gone down to St. Simon's and got him a place" to stay-that kind of staying a fellow does when he has an idea that he is slipping.

the senate today to arguments present.
ed by Chairman Lodge, of the foreign.
relations committee, against unreserv-
ed ratification of the peace treaty Sem
ator Owen, democrat. Oklahoma, de-
clared Mr.. Lodge had been blinded by
partisanship and by distrust Of pop
ular institutions.
Referring to the committee chair
mans parallel between the league of
nations and the il1-fated holy alliance,
Mr.. Owen said the argument had over
looked the intrigue and autocratlc sell
fshness which surrounded the alli-
ance.
THE fatt that wars followed the
treaty of the holy alliance" he contin-
ued, was because this treaty was be-
tween military dynasties made by
monarchial autocracies and controlled
by intrigue
"The trouble with the senator from
Massachusetts is that he really be-
lieves in the rule OF the few over the
many. He does not believe the people
ought to have the right toainitiate laws
they want and refuse laws they don't
want.
"He looks on them with less conf
dence than he did the military autoc-
racies. for the senator favored n league
in 1915 when the autocracies were in
full SWAY"
