fore the board by ia roads, while the
shopmen have asked increases of l3
cents an hour over the present scale
on S5-~of these roads. Increases on
more than the S5 roads were not asked
because of failure to get the en-

Mere than 175 roads have placed

authority for the committee to visit
Mussel Shoals Alabama, and inspect

mittee is investigating.

two nitrate plants and said they could
be made ready to manufacture nj
trates and fertilizers by an additional
expense tothegovernment of about
$7,000,000.

already has cost the government
S13,00O,000 and the other $4,000, 900.
submit they could be made complete
for $7,000,000 and it would be a good

j. E. Levering Of Los Angeles, Cal
ifornia, who said he was a civil engi-
neer. was called by the committee 1T
the conclusion of Mr.. Engstrum's
statement. He said none of the pro-
posals made by Henry Ford, the Ala
bama Power Company or Mr.. Eng
strum, rose to the dignity of con-
tract" and were nothing more than
we'll worded handounts."
Mr.. Levering explained he had been
associated with Mr.. Engstrum when
his proposal was being drafted but
had walked out" when it was
changed"
The Engstrum proposal. Mr.. Lever
ing said. was foolish and absurd but
better than Ford's or the Alabama
Power Company"

EARLY DECISION
LLOYD GEORGE
STICK OR QUIT
Political Affairs In Eng
land Seem To Be More
Or Less Disturbed Be-
cause Of Irish Question
and Coming Genoa
Conference

London, March 6.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. .)-Within twenty-four or
at most forty-eight hours, the world
will know definitely whether Prime
Minister Lloyd George has decided to
resign or continue as chief of the coal
ition government. This is the only
substantial conviction emerging from
a tangle of contradictory rumors in
the crisis which engrosses political OBJ
servers over Saturday and Sunday.
Experts today were diametrically op-
posed in their position as to how the
crisis stood as a result of week end
conferences, some declaring that the
outlook for a continuance of the CO.
alition was improved and encouraged
the belief that the prime minister
would not resign. Others declared all
signs pointed to his retirement and
that liberal colleagues in his ministry
would go with him. Some were CON
tent to refrain from committing them
selves to any opinion whether the re-
suit would be smash-up or a patch
up. Even if the prime minister stays.

tain quarters that nothing will be def
nitely announced until the speech of
Sir Arthur Balfour on Tuesday. 1t is
declared that the pre-eminent interest
in Sir Arthur's utterances will be a
positive declaration as to the prime
minister's decision.
If this expression is for resignation
of Mr.. Lloyd George, Sir Arthur will
not at any event assume the premier
ship. according to repeated statements
made today. but will be willing to take
office under Austen Chamberlain as
prime minister (Mr Chamberlain is
government leader in the House of
Commons.
Friends of Lloyd-George assert he
is exceedingly tired and will gladly
quit responsibility of his office If he
holds on, it will only be because of
recognition that chaos is likely to fol
low his retirement in present peculiar
circumstances. Whether he goes or
stays, he has decided to take an i'm
mediate holiday which he will prob
ably enjoy at his country home in
Criccieth. a small watering place in
Wales, situated in the county Of Car

LOUCHMAN NOW
TAKES DEFINITE
FORWARD STEP

Especial to the Evening telegram
Loughman, March 4.-Polk county
spirit of Drogressiveness, effort and
genuine old time Southern hospitality
reaches even to the very boundary
lire. to the very jumping off-place, so
to speak. as displayed at Laughman in,
the far northeast corner.
This principally is a lumber town
of about 600 or 700 thrifty people and
surrounded by a large acreage OF
bearing citrus trees, part of the ia
nous Polk county citrus ridge, while
daily, many more acres are being de-
veloped.
A large pine saw mill, cypress mill,
crate mill and planning mill constitute
the principal industries while also are
found stores that carry a general line
Of up-to-date merchandise, and AL
drug store and several other enter
prises.
The one live wire of the community
is the Woman's Club consisting of
forty-fve energetic members who
meet monthly enjoying a delightful
social hour at the close of the bust
ness meeting. Besides directing the
civic improvements of the community
they also chaperone the social activi-
ties of the youn people joining with
them in evenings of innocent fun. An
accomplishment of which the club is
Justly proud is the recent establish
ment of a public library, club room
and ladies' rest room, comfortably
equipped, which will be added to, as
the club and community progress.
Another step forward is to federate
upon recent of application. The per-
sonnel of the club Mrs. ]. PRYOR, who
has recently become a resident of
Haines City. but will serve the term
ont as president till May when Mrs.
w c. Tolar will then serve, being
unanimously elected to this position,

secretary, Mrs. F. R. Jaco; treasurer,
Mrs. George Stewart,
A Methodist church and Baptist
church and live school of about 100
enrolment speak of the morality of
the community, with Mr.. and Mrs.
Sutton and Miss Effie Johnston, full
filing her third term here as teacher
Synonmous to Polk county is good
roads, and Loughman is doing her
share, which when completed will see
q fine system radiating in all direc-
tions from te community.
The we'll known Bible verse might
be applicable to Loughman, Man
looketh on the outward appearance,
but God looketh on the heart" for
one riding through this community
would hardly judge the lovely homes
within, denoting culture and refine
ment, from the rough appearance of
the houses upon the outside. There is
a reason. Up until recently the COM
munity has been solely owned by the
big lumber company but new lots are
being laid off and homes are open to
public sale looking forward to town
incorporation in the near future which
will see and count for fast and great
Improvement along town lines.
The Fields Hotel, which has been
idle for some time and which is a
great social center of the community.
was opened again to the public the
first of March, much to the delight of
the young people, and Is now under
going a few changes making for great
er comfort and convenience, and is
now under the management Of Mr..
and Mrs. M. Sine Of Canada, grove
owners in this section.
