 T prefer that Mir Ford should make this development,' Mir. Underwood continued. His proposition is the best before Congress. He has made good in every industrial undertaking he has ever attempted and is ready, willing to bet s1o,000,o00 he will make good at Muscle Shoals"
 Not Private Business
 Senator MeNary. republican, Ore gon, reminded Senator Underwood that he advocated a government cor- poration for Muscle Shoals develop ment two years ago and asked:
 Have you lost faith in the govern ment now?"
 "If Mir. Ford intended to make 1t a private business" MT. Underwood answered, T would favor govern mental development. But he does not"
 Senator Norris said it was his opin- ion that there were details of the Ford offer, including that of the Cor gas plant, which made the proposal somewhat awkward and Congress could not make the correction unless MT. Ford consented.

LATE NIGHT BLAZE
 DESTROYS HOME.
Fire of Unknown Origin AWakenS Sleeping Family.
 Loss Partially Covered

Fire of unknown origin late last night destroyed the residence of D. A. Reddick. S91O Thirty-first street. North Birmingham.
 The family had retired for the night when members were awakened by the intense heat of the flames which had gained considerable head way, and the rear end of the six room bungalow was ready to fall un- der the spreading flames when mi raculous escape without injury was effected.
 Efforts of firemen were chiefly confined to protecting nearby prop erty after arriving at the scene of the fire, the Reddick home having been too far beyond saving when the fire fighting apparatus was put into action, and good work probably saved additional losses.
 Loss Is estimated at s6,o0o, with in- surance of $4.000 carried on the dwelling and $1,500 upon household furnishings.

STEEL COPORATION ] ORDERS INCREASE
Southern Steel Producing End Operating at Hun
 dred Per Cent

Increase of 15s.ooo tons of un- filled orders on books of the Steel corporation April 1 Is regarded in steel and iron circles as additionally significent in the light of the large tonnage shipped during the month in which there was a great increase in production.
 More steel was produced and more shipped than in any month in many preceding ones, hence the increase in thrilled tonnage in spite of large make and shipments Is accepted as stronger indication of sound condi- tions than an increase not accompa- nied by these features.

 Closing down of some steel and iron works in the east following coal strike will have tendency to in- crease demand on southern output, according to local industrial experts.

said that the State of Wisconsin has
the best prohibition enforcement law
of any state in the union. 1t was pas
sed by the 1921 Legislature and sign
ed by Governor John j. Blaine.
Any fair minded person who has
read the Governors message on the
dry enforcement bill will admit that
his stand is dry and not wet as the
editor of the Sun insinuates in his
questions.
If you are willing to be fair with
the readers of your paper, you should
print the Governor message in re-
gard to the prohibition enforcement
bill in full. For your information, it
is found on page 1926 of the Assem-

This is not an illogical picture to present in the

once upon time there was a
man named Russell Sage. He
died many times a millionaire. He
never spent a penny he was not
compelled to spend. He bought his
summer underwear in the winter
time and his winter clothing in July.
He paid fifty cents for straw hats,
when merchants were throwing
away their left overs in September.
Thus he amassed a huge fortune,
which two of his nephews are now
spending. They buy in season with
the money Sage left and enjoy the
buying with the human touch
Sage could not leave. He never
knew it. Buying in seasons spells
universal prosperity and human
happiness. But buy early. The
rush stimulates prices. Everything
needed for Christmas is now in
stock. and the early bird catches the
worm. The worm may be foolish
to get up, but he's up in every store.
