TUG LAUNCHING
SUCCESSFUL
Miss Barbara Stewart Christens
Fine Steel Craft "Adler"
at Local Yard.

The 500-ton steel tug Adler built
for the River & Ocean Towing Co., of
New Orleans, subsidiary of the Adler
Coal Co, of Birmingham, was launched
at the Pensacola Shipbuilding Co.'S yard
at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
launching was a side one and the vessel
took her maiden plunge easily. She is
the most powerful tug in the gulf and
the largest vessel of her kind ever built
here.
The vessel wei4t into the bayou 95
percent completed She will be QUILTED
in Pensacola and leaves in bout two
weeks for her light sea trial after which
she goes to New Orleans, where she is
owned by the River & Ocean Towing
company. The Adler is tug 140 feet
long and has a 400 h. p. triple expan-
sion engine.
Little Barbara Stewart. daughter of
Captain Paul p. Stewart. president of
the Pensacola shipyard, broke the bottle
of champagne on the tugs prov as she
quvered on the ways and as the spark
link liquid fell, christened her Adler
after her owners. Miss Stewart was at
tended by little Betty Yonge and Grant
land Caro- as maids. The children wore
dainty sbring frocks and carried arm
fuls of lilies and ferns.
The launching of the tug was sched
uled for O'Clock. Several hundred peo
gathered to witness the event and the
launching party ascended the launching
platform, gay with bunting and the
Stars and Stripes several minutes before
the appointed time. AS the whistle
sounded the din of the hammers began.
Just before the big boat was to be re-
leased, a part of the cradle slipped and
the launching was postponed until it
could be replaced. At $3.50 o'clock ev-
erything was again ready and the tug
went down the ways without a slip.
Among special visitors at the launch
ing were J. E. Adler of Birmingham,
secretary of the company for which the
boat was built; Colonel Z. NJ. Wood, of
New Orleans, a member of the com
pany, and James Brown, superintend-
ent,
Yesterday was the first time delay
has occurred in the launching of any
vessel in the history of the Pensacola
shipyard During the war and after, 10
vessels of 5000 tons each, were built
and launched at the local yard and not
one mishap has marred the launching
of any OF them. Every day set for
launching has been a pleasant sunny
one with the exception of one. when the
morning was misty. And every launch
ing with the exception of that yester-
day, has been carried out on schedule
time a record of which any yard might
be proud.

COAL PRICES TO
Be QUESTIONED
Investigation to Be Started I'm
mediately Over Prices
Charged Government. /
RETAIL PRICES DECLINE
Retail Distribution to- Various
Sections to Be Taken Into
Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Inquiry
will be begun at once into the prices
charged the government for coal last
year, acting Attorney General Nebeker
announced today upon receipt of the
findings of the senate committee on
reconstruction which has been investi-
eating the sale of fuel to the war de-
partment and other branches of tne
government during the recent short
age.
Prices asked government depart
ments for coal as set forth in the
committees report, the acting attorney
general said, appeared to warrant and
even, require" investigation by the
department of justice. Prosecutions
will be instituted and pressed to the
limit he added, should the facts de-
veloped by the investigation bear out
the evidence submitted by the COM
mittee.
1t would appear on the face of the
report Mr.. Nebeker said that prices
charged the government for coal were
exhorbitant to a degree, and that ac-
ton lie under the Lever act for
profiteering. The names of more than
score of concerns who had supplied
coal to the government were listed by
the committee, he added, but would
not be announced pending an investi-
cation which would include a study of
statistics of coal costs, prices charged
and the committees estimate of what
would have been a fair margin of
profit.
A decline in the price of retail coal
was said to be indicated in reports
reaching the coal investigating com
mittee today from Chambers of Com
merce and municipal authorities in
various parts of the country Tabu-
lation of these reports is being made
for use, committee members said,
should it be decided to conduct an in
vestigation of retail coal distribution,
as was suggested by senators during
a general debate on the coal problem.

purpose in his ambition to
serve as a delegate. II a dele

the organization. job hunt
ers should be eliminated from
any representative capacity in
this organization.
We suggest this as bringing
out the Importance OF the
movement here for Saturday.
Garrard County has four votes
in the selection Of one of the
directors in the organization.
In other words, il has the ma
jority vote in the district. Gar
rard County raises the major
ity Of the tobacco and is more
interested than the other coun-
ties of the district and the edi-
tor Of this paper feels that we
ought to discuss the matter
freely in our meeting Saturday
as whether Garrard County
should ask for this director.
1t is of the highest impor-
lance that each and every
of the association who
can possibly be present on Sat-
urday to do so and to make il
a part of his business to see
that his neighbor and his
neighbor's. neighbor. who is a

When The
Farmer Suffers.

The price of farm products
are down, close TO the 1914
level.
That would be fine if other
commodities were down in pro-
portion.
But high wages still prevail
in the cities in all lines. This
means that the manufactures
and wholesaler must continue
to charge the country merchant
high prices for his goods.
The country merchant in
turn must charge the farmer in
proportion To what he himself
pays to the manufacturer or
wholesaler.
Very simple and easily un-
derstood, but anything but sat

The editor of the Record has
the deepest interest in the sue
cess of the cooperative tobac-
co marketing from the begin
ing of the movement. This
paper has had its columns open
to all forms of interest that
would tend to promote the sue
cess of the undertaking. The
movement has now been de-
clared a success so far as the
seventy-five per cent signing
the contract, but the impor-
tant time is now at hand. The
future of the tobacco interest
and the success of the cooper
alive market depends upon the
initial organization. The chair
man of Garrard County,
Judge Walker, at the instance
of headquarters at Lexington
has suggested eight men for
delegates, four of whom may
be elected to represent this
county. II should be under
stood that il is not binding up
on the people of Garrard Coun-
ty TO vote for any of these
delegates. II would have been
better had the interested par
ties first name these propos-
ed delegates.
A meeting is called for two
o'clock, Saturday afternoon for
the purpose of discussing this
matter. and we ask and urge
every member of the associa-
ton that can possibly be pres
ent on that day TO be here and
discuss frankly and freely the
merits of the proposed dele
gates and in the event that
other delegates than the ones
named can be found who are
better suited for the position
than any Of the eight suggest
ed by the chairman. such dele
gates ought to be agreed upon
and elected. Too much inn
portance cannot be attached
to this matter. No man
