HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Candidates for baseball are all signed up, and at present there seems to be but two positions which are go- ing to be hotly contested. Those are, pitcher and plate sweeper tor bat boy) But despite the fact that reg ulars for these two more or less im- portant positions are as yet undecid- ed. there is no doubt that more will make the latter than the former First practice was held Tuesday, under the direction of MT Platt, sub-master. and who, with Mir Snow, will coach the team this spring This year the squad will be most handicapped, at the start a. least, by the scarceness of material for the box. But perhaps af- ter the new hurlers get a little good coaching and settle down to business, the prospects in thst line will be brighter.

Another candidate for the box is Pat Donlon, who has also gone out for short
 Other 'possibes" for the infeld are Bill Mccoy, letter man from last season baseball, Earl Spencer. Gerald Allard, and Merton Ames, who is also a letter man. The outfeld at present looks doubtful but may be reenforced as the men are shifted by the coaches, for at this stage of the game no ac- eurate conclusions can be made. How ever, two sure-catch men are Francis Murphy and Jack Durand, veterans of the 1920 squad

FIpo-WHo GETS PUP?

New York, July 16.-Custody OF q
Pekingese pup, little larger than a
ball of ys', IS one of the issues IN
a divorce case filed by D. A. Reid,
tin plate. king and re-organizer OF
the Rock Island railroad. This be.
came known yesterday when counsel
for Mr.. Reid carried the dispute into
the courts.
The Reds were divorced a few
months ago. The banker made q
cash settlement Of two hundred thou
sand dollars on Mrs. Reid and agreed
to pay her thirty thousand dollars
annually. There was an agreement
it was set forth in court, that dis
putes over household effects were to
be arbitrated. Mrs. Reid's attorney
argued before Justice McCook that
the pup constitutes household ef-
feet, and it's possession should be
submitted for arbitration.
The justice urged both sides to
submit briefs.

CURB MARKET OPENS 49,.
NEXT TUESDAY MORNING

Next Tuesday morning the County
Council of Farm Women, in coopera-
tion with the Civic League and other
organizations in Atbeville, will in
augurate market day for the dis
posal of farm produce. The league
plans to be ready to sell its products
at 8 o'clock, the display being had
in the neighborhood of the court
house.
This plan of selling farm produce
is in operation in a number Of cities
larger and smaller than Abbevlle,
and the results are.said to be gener-
ally satisfactory. It is panned to
sell only products of the best quail
ty, and since they are sold directly
to, consumers under the cash and
carry plan, doubtless a good saving
viii result to the housekeepers of
3Abbeville.
Miss Crowther has sent out circu-
3ar letters to numbers of women in
the country who have shown in vari-
ous ways their willingness to assist
in "a worthy undertaking and she is
looking for general response and
much enthusiasm. It is planned, at
FIRST at least, that each woman who
brings in produce will be her own
salesman. 74.,

SAYS BABY CHICKS ,.
KNEW THEIR MOTHER

Sacramento, Cal, July 15.-There
is a common language between
chickens which enabled hen to de.
termine beyond all doubt whether OF
not certain chicks are her own or the
offspring of an incubator. .
This ruled Judge L. M. Shelley in
police court in a dispute between
neighbors as to the ownership Of a
dozen month-old chicks.
Cecil Fernandez was adjudged
guilty, but sentence was suspended
on the ground that the chicks prob
ably had strayed into his hennery
without his knowledge.
Mrs. P. C. Newman, the complain
ing witness, charged that dozen
chicks found in the yard of Fernan-
dez belonged to her. In supporting
her contention she cited the fact
that when her mother hen was placed
in the Fernandez poultry yard the
chicks ran to the maternal bird call
ing "cheep, cheep," which Mrs. New
man declared was chicken language
for "Hello, mamma"
Fernandez stated his chicks were
hatched in an incubator and, having
no mother, ran with any hen which
befriended them. He ridiculed the
statements of poultry authorities
that chickens have intelligence.
Judge Shelley in passing judg-
ment said:
''T have come to the conclusion
that the chicks acted with intelli-
gence when they went to their
mother and that the rpother hen act
ed in like manner when she took
them into her care. The chicks are
Mrs. Newman's and I hereby find
the defendant guilty

CHEVROLETS GAINING
In POPULARITY WITH
EACH SALE REPORTED

There is an old expression that a
man never amounts to much in his
home town.
The same has been said of auto
mobiles.
But Chevrolet is an exception to
this rule, If it can be called a rule.
California is the home town" of
the Chevrolet. For several years
Chevrolets have been either built or
assembled for distribution there. ANA
with each year the popularity of the
Chevrolet in California has been
steadily increasing.
Total auto sales in southern Cali
fOrnia from January / to october 81
OF this year show 1867 Chevrolets
were placed in the hands of new
owners during that period. This fig
ure put Chevrolet in second place in
total southern California sales First
place, of course, was taken by Hen
rvs product
Chevrolet sales are increasing in
almost every other state with as
much rapidity as in California.
Ray b. Krebs, local Chevrolet dis
tributor, attributes the demand for
Chevrolets to the fact that they are
a small, light car with all the surcI
ness and comfort and service that is
offered in bigger cars that sell for
several times as much

F ORD READY To
PUT FORTUNE IN
MUSCLE SHOALS
Huge Mass of Equipment In
Guided in Plant Sought
By Flivver King

FLORENCE, Ala, Dec. IA. Henry
Ford's bid for Muscle Snoais, submit
ted July 8, 1921, the first bid for the
properties, contained these principle
features
Outright purchase of nitrate plans
Nos. l and and for ~5,uo0,000.
Payment of approximately $780,
900 annual rental" as interest on
capital invested for water power
rights.
Reimbursement of $40,000,000 spent
by the government on Wilson Dam.
Reimbursement of $S,OOO,OOO to be
spent by the government in building
and equipping Dam No. 3.
Outright expenditure of SIS ,000, 000,-
by the government in erection of
three locks in connection with these
two dams.
Muscle Shoals begin at Florence
and extend eastward up the Tennes-
see river thirty miles, having a fall
in that distance of 100 feet. Naviga-
ton around the shoals has been pro-
vided by means of the Muscle Shoals
canal, waterway sixteen miles long
and containing eleven locks. This
canal was begun about 1920 and by
intermittent effort was partly COM
pleted in 1890 when it was opened
for navigation. Both the state of
Alabama and the federal government
participated in this work
! Plant Used in War
In 1910 government engineers rec
commended that navigation and power
should be jointly developed at Muscle
Shoals and in 1914 an appropriation
was made for diamond drill behring's
which proved the sufficiency of the
foundation for proposed dams. A
survey was made of lands that would
be inundated and options were taken
by citizens of Sheffield and Florence
in the name of the government
When the war began, :..e govern
ment, seeking a site for great nitrate
plants, turned to Muscle Shoals and
the erection Of nitrate plant No.
was started January s, 1918. 1t be
gan operation October 25 of the same
year and before the armistice was
signed several thousand tons OF
ammonium nitrate was turned out
Operations were suspended. after the
armistice, but work was begun on
Wilson dam and this work contin
. ned until May l, 1872, wnen the ap-
preparation was exhausted. The dam
then was said to be about so per cent
complete.
Three great concrete mixing
plants, one of them said to be the
largest in the world, was construct
ed and operated for the building OF
| the Wilson dam. Quarries were
J opened; residences for employees
were built, with office buildings

sewage, lighting and water systems
A fleet of barges and dredges were
provided to bring SAND, and gravel
from the river channel below the

were constructed, with line of rail.

the dam would be 95 feet The length
of the dam would be 1900 feet
The original plans for the work
called for the installation of turbines
and electric generators capable of
producing 100000 electrical horse
power, more than is now represented
in the combined hydro-electric devel-
opments in the states of Alabama,
Georgia, South Carolina, North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, according to the
army engineers.
Dam No. 3, proposed in Ford's bid,
would be one mile and a quarter in
length, fiftyN feet high, and would
have, an available waterpower head
of AZ feet. There would be installed
under the ORD plan turbines, cleo
trio generators in this dam capable
of developing more than 100000, eelc-
yric horsepower. This dam would
be II miles above Wilson dam and
navigation through the two dams
would be effected by means of two
locks in Wilson dam and one lock
in Dam No. g.
Negotiations between the govern
ment and Mr.. Ford have been In
progress for several months. His re-
cent trip with Thomas A Edison to
Muscle Shoals was for the purpose
of making a resurvey of the prop
erty at the suggestion of government
officials with a view of clarifying
and reconciling, if possible, differ
ences in Mr. Ford's estimates and
those of army engineers concerning
completion of the work. The great
est complication is understood to
have been the difference in estimates
of the cost of completing Wilson dam
land the construction of Dam No. 8.

DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE.
THIS MAN BLEW SELF UP
Charles Atchley, Calmly Sat on
Stump Under Which Exploded Big
Charge of Dynamite.

Huntsville, June 9.--Charles Atch-
ley, an expert dynamiter employed on
the Madison Carroll road improve
ment district, committed suicide Sat
urday morning near the Washington
county line west of Hindsville. He
placed heavy charge of dynamite
under stump and after lighting the
fuse and warning his two fellow
workers to escape, calmly sat down
TO die. A terrific explosion hurled
ms body an unusual distance, and
death was instantaneous.
He confided with Roy Eubanks. who
worked with him, that he was living
under an assumed name, and that his
mind was stored with haunting MEM
cries of mournful past. He is said
to have been a man of rare intelli-
gence, and told of his travels on dis.
tant seas and in lands far away. The
AFTERNOON before his death, he as
serted that at the age of 40 he had
reached ilfe's sunset. An unfortunate
love affair, ne limited, lent his life all
the elements of a Greek tragedy.
In his pockets were found treas
ured tress of golden hair, wrapped in
pages torn from the Book of Eccles-
tastes, and the following sad lines
copied from Swinburne:
From toe much love of living
FROM hope and fear set free.
We thank with brief Thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
rhat no life gives forever;
That dead men rise up never;
lnat even the weariest river
winds somewhere safe to sea-"

people consider them even more deli
cate The marrows furnish more food
per fruit than do the elephants, and
are easier to grow if they get start.
Ii is not necessary to start them in
the house or hotbed as it is with egg
plants.
They are members of the squash
family, closely related to the summer
squash. They have long been popu-
lar abroad, and only in the last year
or two, italian squashes" have been
curiosity in some Of the vegetable
markets in the larger cities in the
very early spring. The Italian squash
is form of vegetable marrow.
These marrows will grow with pre-
cisely the same treatment that will
grow good cucumbers or melons
They want warm soil, plenty of fer
tility and moisture, the same condi-
tions exactly as the melons.
There are a number of varieties
now offered and anyone Of the stand

D. {. DODD NAMED
FOR PARK HEAD
City Council Announces Selection of
New Commissioner Tuesday Night
Choice Means BETTER Pleasure
Ground for Mena.

D. E. Dodd, one of Mena's best
Known young business men, has been
named as park commissioner. An
aouncement of Mr.. Dodds choice for
he place was made at the adjourned
meeting of the city council held on
tuesday night.
Mr. Dodd has accepted the place
and started work on his duties on
Wednesday morning. In appointing
the local man to the responsible posi-
lion, the council also voted a monthly
appropriation Of $50 for care and
maintenance Of beautiful Jansen
Park.
Selection of the new park commits
sioner means that Mena is to have the
sort of pleasure ground for its peo-
pie that the city deserves. Since the
resignation of Judge Kelly the park
has lacked the care and attention
that only a real lover of nature could
give it. AS consequence the park,
one of the finest in the middle west,
has not been kept up as it should have
been. Mr. Dodd's appointment will
change all this
After considerable debate the coun-
Gil voted to grant carte blanche to
the street and alley committe in the
matter of caring for the thorofares of
city. Heretofore it had been neces-
sary to wait for action by the coun-
ell 0 ncertain lines of work which
could just as well be done by the ON
mittee. This method often caused
delays, and in order 70 provide more
efficient service it was decided to-
give the street and alley committee a
free rein, Alderman Averitt object
ed but a majority Of the council menu
bers thought otherwise.
Water Superintendent w. l.. Abney
was directed to arrange a settlement
with the Commonwealth company for
the use of the motor formerly at the

Gently purchased by the city. is now
ready for use, and will be put in SER
vice when needed.
The board of health was empower
ed to arrange with owners of south

buildings that do not come up to local
