There is better feeling in the overall market. according to W. C Phillips. president of the Phillips Lester Manufacturing company, local makers of the overalls known as "401."
 clared that sales of overalls had in- creased. This will serve to reduce stocks and signifies that the makers will soon be called on to replenish them.
 There is better feeling in the overall market said Mir. Phillips. "l cannot say that there has been any noticeable recent increase in the de- mand that has percolated to the man. ufacturers, but it follows that, if re- tail sales are picking up, we will soon hear from that. I assume that part of the very recent influx of re- tail sales locally, is owing to the track. field and other contests that have recently taken place among the miners of the district These annual events naturally call for new over alls, the contestants liking to ap- pear in new suits, hence a demand on 
 "As to the sale of our home make of ovcralis, I can with truth say that the home merchants and the home companies operating company stores have been showing a marked dfsposi- ton as time goes by to take the home product. We, of course, haze done our part. We have helped create the demand for our product by a systematic advertising campaign In the Birmingham newspapers and we have felt the results.
 There has been more call Tor the home made article and the merchants have responded to that call by carry ing the home article in greater quantities besides themselves heipins to shove the home product.

MUSCLE SHOALS
 IN FORD'S HANDS
 BE GREAT SAVING
Edward 0'Neal of Florence Tells Civic Forum About What Henry Ford's Off,
 fer Means to State

Henry Ford declares that with the use of water power from Muscle Shoals, it would be possible to cut down his overhead cost of manufac- turing from 25 to 50 per cent, &C., cording to statement at the week. ly forum of the Birmingham Civic Association yesterday by Edward A. O'Neai of Florence. Mir. O'Neal was one of the party which conducted MT. Ford over the Muscle Shoals de- velopment recently.
 The statement of MT. ONeal was made during an address on the work and plans of the farm bureau of Ala bama, of which organization he Is vice president. At the conclusion Of the meeting, the Civic forum unan- imously indorsed the work of the farm bureau and its plans for market ing farm products of Alabama, and pledged the support and active CO., operation of the members of the organization toward furthering the plans of the bureau.
 Outlines Plant Meeting
 Former Gov. Emmet O'Neal, who at- tended the meeting, was called on for talk on Muscle Shoals. and out lined to the members what the de- velopment of the enterprise, as out lined tentatively by Henry Ford, would mean to Alabama and the en- tire nation.
 "The offer of Ford has proved that Muscle Shoals development is not junk as had been claimed by some of tho leading republican politicians" declared Governor O'Neal. This of- fer has put the republicans and the administration in position where they must either accept the Ford offer or else secure a better one"
 Governor ONeal discussed the es- sential part played by nitrates in the creation of all plant and animal life and cited figures to prove that nature was producing only half the amount necessary. The expense and uncertaintly of depending upon the nitrates of Chile were pointed out and tho need for an artificial sup ply by some process similar to that to be used at Muscle Shoals was em- phasized by the speaker.
 R. G. Hershey presided at the forum meeting and two new mem bers were elected, J. H. EdmGndson and Mrs. W. D. Colby.
 Farm Bureau
 In discussing the plans of the Ala bama Farm bureau. which is now being organized in the state, Edward A. O'Neal, vice president of the organ ization, told of the results which such bureaus had attained in California and many other states. The difficult ties of marketing the crops of Ala bama farmers was credited with be- ing responsible for much of the poverty of the agricultural sections of this state and instances were pointed out where crops decayed on farms in Alabama when some other sections of the country were in great need of the products.
