Sheffield Preparing for
 Secretary Bakers Visit

Sheffield, July s1.-(Special )-The forth coming visit of Secretary of War New ton D. Baker and members of the nitrate division ofs the war department to the Sheffield-Muscle Shoals district has oc- casioned almost as much interest locally as was aroused at the time he came here in March, 1e16 when he was accom- panied by Secretary Franklin D. Lane and Secretary David F. Houston. com prising the inter-departmental nitrate hoard, which had been named by Pres ident Wilson to make surveys and exam nations of water power sites through out the United States, which were being considered as possible locations for es- tablishing government nitrate plants.
 At that time, however, there was con- siderable uncertainty in the minds of many people regarding the recommenda- tions that were expected to ensue as a re- suit of the hour of examination made by the nitrate board Notwithstanding, the Muscle Shoals site was finally selected, and today not only does one magnificent nitrate plant stand erected here, but a second one as well, and as if to insure the permanency of these vast enterprises, the Muscle Shoals dam, by order of Pres ident Wilson, is being built, With the nitrate plants completed and the mann moth dam across the Tennessee river in the course of construction, the question has very naturally arisen: What bear ing will Secretary Bakers visit in Au- gust have upon these vast governmental industries?" 1t is believed here that the visit of Secretary Baker will result in definite recommendation for keeping the plants intact, and that their opera

ton will follow. Likewise, 1t is expect for dispatching the construction work on the Muscle Shoals dam.
 /It is the lack of definite recommenda- tion, which to date, has not been mani fested, that has given cause for a feeling of anxiety mingled with expectancy, on Muscle Shoals district. Perhaps these anxieties are going to be forever dispell- ed by Mir. Bakers visit.
 Secretary Baker is known to be very much interested in the completion of the great water power dam at Muscle Shoals regarding it's utilization and the opera
 ton of the nitrate plants for the manu-
 fracture of fertilizers ass of transcendent importance to the country generally. And this view is also held by President Will son, and many other influential minds of the country.
 The potential value of the development
 of the wonderful waterpower at Muscle Shoals to Memphis, Birmingham, Nash vile, Chattanooga and the Sheffield Muscle Shoals region of Alabama, is al most inestimable when considered iA re- lation to light and power problems. The full development of this great water power means a new day for the South The government has expended millions of dollars in the Sheffield Muscle Shoals districts and in the end, when further expenditures are completed, great prac- tical benefits will accrue from the won- derful work that will have been finished. For these reasons Secretary Baker s forthcoming visit is looked upon as being expedient and timely. and surely it will hasten and bring about definite and more substantial industrial conditions in this section

Montgomery, July 31-(Special)-Fo the first time since the bone dry prohibition bill and the constitutional amendment measure were voted upon there came a division in the senate Thursday when the so-called anti-amendists lined up solid- ly against an amendment offered to the bone dry law by Senator Bedsole The bone dry bill was approved by Governor Kilby, en January 25, 1919, and 1t was soon found that it was not as "air-tight'' as the advocates believed Section 13 per- mitted transportation of certain bever- ages. and the Bedsole amendment made the section as lair tight" as 1t is possible to make law.
 Another amendment by MT. Bedsole provided for the shipment and receipt of certain beverages for sacramental pur- poses by Jewish Rabbis. Each amend ment was adopted
 The vote on the one amending Section 13 was as follows:
 Yea; Beale, Bedsole, Brown, Carmi- chael. Cowan, Ellis, Harper, Kelly. Mil Ter. Morris, Nance, Sims, Smith of Coo sa; smith, of Lawrence; and West, of Jefferson.
