MUSCLE SHOALS
MUCH IN DEMAND
sNGSTRUM PRESENTS PRoPOs.
AL TO WEEKS-FORD'S OFFER
READY, WILL BE DELIVERED
TO CONGRESS BY SECRETARY
OF WAR IMMEDIATELY

Washington, Feb. 2.-On the eve
Of delivery by Secretary Weeks of
Henry Ford's offer for the govern
ment properties at Muscle Shoals,
Ala, Frederick E. Engstrum of viii
mington, N. c., presented the war
secretary with an amended proposal
to complete, lease and operate the
Muscle Shoals properties for the
manufacture of nitrate for fertilizers
The amended proposal was accom-
panied by letter signed by Marion
Butler, acting legal adviser for Nj. !
Engstrum, which recited the OUT
standing features of the proposals
as follows: '0'
A guaranteed cost to complete.
Government retains ownership and
preserves assets of s141, 100000.
Returns from investment on a bas-
S of 100000 kilowat gross develop
ment; this lease will pay to the gov
ernnent, the letter says, s3,504, 900
per year for so years, or total at
compound 4 per cent. interest of ap-
,proximately 100000; this cash
will be used to produce cheap nitrates
for fertilizers or can be turned into
the treasury at the option of the
government. A
Success of nitrate manufacture
which can be economically used for
iert lizer is dependent entirely on
sale of power; without the support of
the power development and sale of
excess power to finance the nitrate
plants it would not be possible to
continue the manufacture and sale
of nitrates.
The power end of the industry is
solely developed for the benefit Of
the factory. The separation of the
factory from the power destroys the
unity Of the Industry. y
This lease proposes to devote the
entire power development to the
manufacture of nitrates, including
the development of improved meth
DDS for the reduction of cost of pro-
ducing 'nitrates. The quantity of nj
rates annually produced is limited
only by the amount of excess power
sold and the selling price of nitrates
liked by the government.
The method proposed to finance by
the sale of excess power in the man
ufacture of nitrates is the only pos
5ble method by which nitrates can
De produced under present known
methods and sold to the American
farmers at price less than the Chill
can products.
eve will be glad," the letter con-
cluded, "to consider any changes or
amendments which you may suggest
with view to accepting the same if
we can see our way clear so to do"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The local high school team outdid
the highest expectations of their
boosters when they copied second
place in the recent tournament.
Coach Order must be congratulated
on the splendid showing that his team
made. We knew that we had good
team but we didn't expect to finish
as far up the ladder as we did. In
our first game, Wednesday afternoon,
we clearly outplayed Prescott in every
branch of the game. Our boys had
the edge on the Cumberland quint all
through the game until the last five
minutes when Cumberland made a
squirt and tied the score. In the extra
five minute period we made five points
to our opponents one. Friday night
we played New Richmond for the first
place. We lost but we lost to won
derful team. The New Richmond Ca
gers possess every quality needed by
basketball team. The boys fought
hard, however, and made splendid
showing.
We had two men, Driscoll and Glib
son, on the all tournament first team,
and two men, Follansbee and Richard
son on the all tournament second team.
Driscoll was second high scorer of
the tournament, having Gagged twelve
field baskets.
McKinnon, the lightest member of
the team was not picked for an all
tournament man but he played won
derful game all through the tourna-
ment, and we expect great things of
him next year.
The subs, Dawson, Dopkins and
Parr played fine games when called
upon and we expect to see them make
good showings next year.
/. With the showing that Coach Order
made from green material during the
past season, we expect him to devel-

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

The men of the faculty gave BAN
quet last Thursday evening in honor
of the high school basketball teams
who took part in the annual tourna-
ment last week.
At the I.,ter-Normal Oratorical
Contest held at Stevens Point last
Friday evening, Mr.. Melvin Thomp-
son of this school won third place.
First and second honors went to the
representatives from Superior and
Milwaukee respectively. The follow
ing members of this school accom-
panied Mr.. Thompson. John Gerret-
son, President of the Association;
Joseph Blomgren, Arthur Koepp, Lou
Schommer, Edward Casey, Profess
sors Powers and Mitchell.
The program given in the auditor
ium last Thursday morning in anti
cipation of st. Patrick's Day was fit
tingly placed in charge OF the n. {
A. The short, snappy speeches by
MIR. Shannon of Ellsworth and Dan
O'Brien Of Roberts were as full of
Irish wit as the singing of "The
Wearin' of the Green" by group of
colleens was full Of melody.
Miss Mosher has proposed that we
have Home Coming week for books
Miss Pardee, Miss Mcmillan, Miss
Fobes and Miss Fleming attended
Grand Opera in st. Paul Friday and
Saturday.
Miss Mary Bradley, assistant lib
rarian, spent Sunday at her home in
Menomonie.
The program given by the Junior
High School at the assembly last
Tuesday was of more than usual in
terest.
Washington Irving's Grip Van
Wrinkle" had been used as series of
lessons in literature. In the history
classes the children had studied pic
lures and the history of the early
Dutch settlers in New York in order
to design their costumes and arrange
the stage for the various scenes. The
dramatization was the outgrowth of
these studies.
In the final presentation Tuesday
morning, no teacher was behind the
scenes to give any assistance to the
children. This certainly shows evil
dence of the children's interest in the
play and the quality of the training
given.
An entertainment of this kind, bas
ed on regular school work, is very
much worth while 1t offers splen-
did suggestions to young teachers
who are planning to give programs in
their schools and communities next
year.
On last Friday afternoon the chill
dren of the Junior High School and
of the Fifth and Sixth grades assem-
bled in the Junior High School audi
forum, the occasion being the presen-
tation of the books won by the chill
dren in the recent competitive test.
Mr.. Davee made a short talk on the
lives of Washington and Lincoln, and
then gave "The True Story of George
Washington" to Bernice Sutherland,
Carol Shepard, Nicholi Demulling,
William Hunt, Robert Smith, and
"The True Story of Abraham Lin
coin" to Thurley Osborn, Robert
Smith and Glenn Lund, and ''The
Boy Scouts Life of Lincoln" to Bur-
ton Karges and 'The Boys Life of
Abraham Lincoln" to Helen O'Con-
nor.

Dead Men Tell
No Tales

But discarded sales slip some
times tells an interesting story
One day this month of March
a duplicate sales slip was pick
ed up by one of our regular
customers. 1t was issued by a
Mail Order House in a neigh
boring town where some River
Falls people go sometimes be-
cause they can do so much
better over there. Just what
town or what store it came from
we won't say. because that would
not be fair. 1t is from a good
town and from good store that
carries reliable merchandise as
far as we know. But that is
not part of this story.
The sales slip contained four
items and each one could have
been bought at Stewards at
quite little saving. 1 dozen
spools of cotton are charged at
Csc. Stewards have sold spool
| cotton at SC spool ever since
the Spool Cotton Co. reduced
it's price something like half
year ago. 6 balls ] & P Coats
Crochet Cotton are charged 15c
per ball and 6 balls are charged
| 16c per ball. The price for all
| sizes, white, ecru, and linen at
| Stewards for months past, has
been 12Ac per ball. l pair
womans' Hickory Carriers are
charged 34c a pair. Stewards
have sold for several months,
Babies Children's and Misses
Hickory Carriers at 25c pair
, and young womans' and womans'
at SOC a pair. A gingham is
charged at 35c yard. Stewards
are selling it's best II inch dress
gingham at 25c a yard. 1t is
only fair to admit, however,
that the Bingham MAY be some
thing different and may be
worth CSC, as no brand or width
or anything else is indicated.
With the three other items all
being quoted at higher prices,
| it is quite plausible that the
gingham would come in the same
category.
| Apparently the customer paid
S2.S5 for what could have been
bought at Stewards for $2.40.

Borah Asks Referendum
On Ship Subsidy Bill
Chairman Wood 10 Obtain
Views of Members of Com
gressional Committee

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia national
referendum on the ship subsidy bill at
the November Congressional elections
was proposed by Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Of Idaho, in letter to Rep
resentative Wood, OF Indiana, chairman
of the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, made public to-day. Mr. Wood
replied that the committee was not ad-
vocating the bill and that he would
canvass the members on the question
THE voters have not yet had an op-
portunity to pass upon the question OF
subsidy and there is wide difference
Of opinion and very intense difference
Of view among the people in regard to
it," said Senator Borah in his letter.
Nov, as the m measure is concretely be-
fore the Congress, may we not arrange
to place it specifically before the
voters?"
Senator Borah said it appeared prob
able that the administrator bill would
not be acted upon by Congress before
the next session.
"The matter could be presented
specifically" said Senator Borah, dis
cussing his plans for referendum, "by
arranging for every candidate for Con-
gress to state his position either for
or against the bill. Those who are op-
posed to the dill are now arranging to
have that done, and | should be very
glad to cooperate with your committee
to provide for referendum as nearly
as practicable upon the measure"

Oil Producers to Stop
Drills to Keep Price Up
Proposed Shutdown Covers S
States and Is Voted by 500
Operators

TULSA, Okla, Aug. 49, Approx
imately 500 independent oil producers,
gathered here from five states of the
Southwest, have voted unanimously for
complete shutdown of drilling opera
tions as the only means of preventing
further declines in the price of crude
oil. The five states represented were
louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas
and Oklahoma.
The action was taken at joint meet
ing of the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas
Association and the National Associa-
ton Of Independent Oil Producers. A
secondary proposal designed to increase
storage facilities was adopted. 1t was
for the erection of storage tank by
every producer who is able.
Refners were invited to cooperate
with producers in handling the surplus
that might develop while the market
structure is being restored. A central
committee was appointed whose duty it
will be to see to it that the drilling
shutdown is made effective.
