Mean Low Price Fertilizer and Album
dant Crops


Much has been said and written
about Muscle Shoals: but practically
nothing has been written about that
vast enterprise and its Importance to
the people and the lands Of the South.
Muscle Shoals is the key to the great
agricultural possibilities Of the South.
and Vernon Pas III particular. Here
a great empire has waited long and
anxiously for some practical method
whereby these cut-over lands can be
made productive. Here and there
much has been done to prove what is
possible. but the tremendous area in
yolved has made farming on large
scale practically impossible, hence land
has been allowed to lie dormant and in
a degree we have been compelled to
import farm products for use.
Muscle Shoals. that $75,000,000
war scheme for the manufacture of
ammunition, is now lying idle. A few
soldiers are guarding it, but that is to-
day-to-morrow that plant will mean
much to you who read. 1t will mean
The development Of Louisiana and Yer
non Parish into one of the greatest
agricultural areas in all America, be-
cause it will completely revolutionize
farming, to a degree that now seems
impossible.
Much time and money must yet be
spent before this immense plant can
Be turned into fertilizer factory.
When it will have been completed, we
are told that it will produce 100000
tons daily. and we may be sure that
4 Henry Ford gets Muscle Shoals from
the government, fertilizer will be sold
al a reasonable price.
Comparatively speaking. this stupen-
dous plant is right at our door, and
with the lower freight rates that are
bound to come, we will be able 10
ship the best fertilizer that the mind
Of man has yet conceived right here,
for a small sum per ton. This will
mean a great influx of newcomers
among us; and it will be men who
will come for the purpose of helping
to build up the parish and make a
garden spot Of our home. The day of
the South is not hefe yet, but it is on
the way, and we shall surpass all other
efforts anywhere in America. because
We have the climate and the rainfall.
The next question it, what are our
representatives doing to further this
enterprise?- Henry Ford and Thomas
Edison are the logical men to handle
this plant for the benefit Of the people
Of the South, and it would be great
calamity for the people Of the South
if any other parties should gain con-
troll Of it. To-day there is a differ
ence of $II 100000 between the var
ious estimates Of the cost Of the re-
naming work. and it is stated that con-
gress will eventually handle the mat
ter.
$ll,000,0O0 is a mere picayune in
comparison to the benefit Muscle

A number Of bright spots developed

There was active trading. however. only
in few of the local stocks. but
widening demand was noted which fore
shadowed broader dealings when the

on the Street are of the opinion the
steady forward movement in the various
issues is discounting some important
developments in connection with the
companys affairs. Others, however,
who are intimate with the operations
and plans in contemplation for widen
ing the activities in both the lighting
and power business state that the un-
developed field which has hardly been
scraped alone furnished sufficient ex-
planntion.

other railroad shares Reading, on the
other hand, on few transactions, re-
gained virtually all of the decline sus-
tained in the late trading yesterday.
The backwardness of this big specula-

extensively from settlement OF the

Women's Business Garb.

" hat fran doubts may have fingered
in the minds of the stanchest conserva-
tIyes regarding the canestness of wOm-
ans invasion of business were removed
Monday, when the exhibition of the
League OF Business and Professional
Women of New York opened with a
fashion show. The rights of the bust
ness girl and woman to attention from
the makers of women's clothing was
proclaimed DO we not" 1t was asked,
earn SS0,000,G0O a year,"
Women entered business with some
thing timorous in her manner. That
something was reflected in the close re.
stralnt she exhibited in matters of
dress. She wasn't yet quite sure OF
herself, so she wore the plainest of
skirts and the stitTest OF shirt waists,
There were even those among the bust
ness girls of the 1905 who Wore
starched collars.
Where is that timorous quality now !?
She sweeps into the office softly tilltter
ing or -silkiIy sinuOus. as she might
sweep into a drawing room. Or she en-
tiers gayly. breezilY, attired as II sh0
were on her way to the links or the
boardwalk instead of to the desk and
typewriter. If Americans should ever
adopt the English practice OF breaking
the business afternoon at tea time, tea
could be served tremendously IN any
New York office.
Because the business girl to-day
dresses with less restraint than her
pioneer predecessors it does not mean
that she approaches her work less seri-
ously. 1t simply means that she feels
quite natural about being in business.
and that if she can't wear her pretty
clothes at country clubs in the after
noon or on shopping tour along the
avenue or at a tea, like others OF her
sex who arc not in the business world,
she will wear them to the office.
Sometimes her dress is inappropriate
and rather silly and sometimes she goes
to extremes. But she is never going
back to the 1905.
