Rear Admiral MCGOWAN, by his
fidelity and skill, won a high place in
the hearts of the people, having in
trusted to him great responsibilities
in handling the business of the navy,
not breath of scandal has ever been
lodged against the name of Admiral

the example of the great men
who followed Jackson and Lee.
Our Legion is not to find it's chief

MUSCLE SHOALS
TO FURNISH POWER
BY Hugh w. Roberts.


Washington, Nov. 10.-John w.
Weeks, secretary of war, issued an
order today leasing the steam auXii-
larry plant of the government, located
at Muscle Shoals. to the Alabama
Power company for a period of one
year, to the end that important indus
tries in North Carolina and Sou h
Carolina might be supplied with pow
er essential to their operation. The
Alabama Power company, in filing
application for the lease, stipula Ted
that the proposed lease would not
interfere with any plans of the gov
elnment to dispose of Muscle Shoals
properties to Henry Ford or any 9TH
er bidder for that property. This
is included in the order
bf the secretary.
The order was issued after appeals
had been received from industry ie 5,
chambers of commerce, public util-
Mites commissioners and persons in
authority in Alabama, Georgia, Ten
3essee, South Carolina and North
Carolina, and thus it will happen that
power generated in the northw S ern
section of Alabama, transmitted
across Alabama, Georgia and Sou Il
Carolina, will for the first time IL
history serve a sadly distressed In.
duStrial section in the western e.
tremity of North Carolina.
Before issuing the order the secre-
tary of war received reports of engi
neers verifying the representations of
industrial distress and stating that
the current thus exercises would re-
store to employment 10000 idle men.
1t is estimated that the current will
be ready within a space of two weeks
and at that time relief from the stag
nation caused by sustained droughSs
will be offered.
The report of Mr.. Weeks engineers
showed not only an acute shortage of
power due to drought but a contin-
uing shortage because of returning
industrial activity and absence. of anv
hydroe!ectric construction since the
war. 1t is sand that some of the COM
panies in the Southeast are not only
unable to supply new customers but
can not meet the growing demands Of
old customers, and that, additional
installation now under construction
and soon to be begun will. be insult
cient to supply market demands The

company by the government is at?the

COMMERCIAL TRUST
 GOVERNMENT FACTS
Bank Will Supply New Britain Homes With Valuable Articles About
 United States

The Commercial Trust company is contemplating the free distribution among it's friends and patrons of a series of highly illustrated articles on the government of the United States The articles, although written in popu- lar form will be of real educational value. They arc to be mailed directly to the homes of New Britain without charge. This plan is in keeping with the new idea that every progressive financial institution owes a broader service to it's community. The modern bank is no longer only a place where money is deposited at one window and drawn at another. It is rather a cen ter of constructive and helpful infor- nation to which any one may bring his financial problems with some con- fidence of finding solution for them
 These stories are designed to show the benefits that anyone derives from the service of the government. They have been brought up to the minute They have a particular appeal to new citizens, foreigners and school chill dren, as we'll as furnishing interesting and instructive reading to practically everyone.
 Never before have Americans taken such an intense interest 1T, their gov ernment. The extension of income taxes and the widespread purchase of Liberty bonds have made us all finan- cial partners in its welfare.
 This public interest in governmental affairs is a healthy and natural inter- est. 1t will lead to increased knowl- edge, 8 more intelligent understanding and a long, strong stride ahead This community is to be congratulated on the foresight and enterprise that brings thiS material within the reach of everyone.
 The bank desires to make the dis tribution as wide as possible. Some, however, are sure to be overlooked and as the supply of articles is necessarily limited, it is suggested that everyone who wishes to receive them call at the bank and leave their names for in clusion in the mailing list.
 It has been anticipated that many will wish to keep each number of the series of governmental articles as re- ceived, as each will deal with a differ ent department of the government For this purpose it is understood that there IS available a limited number of beautiful containers one of which can be obtained by any person desiring it by calling during banking hours for if

 ECONOMIC CRISES

Havana, Cuba. Dec. 7-Cuban bus mess interests vitalIy affected by the prevailing financial and economic crises are becoming impatient because of the delay in negotiations for a 50.000,0o0 exterior loan to help nor

 Conferences between administration officials and congressional leaders, however, are being held daily and it is hoped that a program that Con- gress will approve will be settled up- on as soon as the administration has finished reducing the budget and the tariff and tax committees have made their recommendations Assurances that the governments income would be so adjusted as to meet the addi- tionaI interest and sinking fund loan charges were the prime requisites de- manded by the American bankers.

 Over 100 names of old landowners have disappeared since the last edi- ton, and their places have been taken by double that number of newcomers.
 In the preface, the editor renlarks Much as the passing of old families from the land, or the diminutlon of their holdings, is to be regretted, the rise of a new class of landed gentry, possessed of means enabling them to develop estates which had become i'm poverdshed through the misfortunes of their previous owners, cannot be without benefit to the country"
