DELvINC INTO MUSCLE SHOALS

The Committee of Congress that has been invastgo+
ing the different offers for the purchase of Muscle Shoals
has brought out many interesting facts that have not
been understood by the public. Of course the Com.
mttee was disappointed by the failure of Henry Ford IL
accept its invitation and eucdate his offer for the great
Niagara of the South" But the Alabama Power Com
pany, which is likewise bidder for the property is NOT
so modest, and Thomas w. Martin, president of the
company told the committee that his company holds an
option for the exclusive right purchase the Warrior
Steam Plant, contained in the contract signed with the
War Department. by which power was supplied by the
plant during the for operation of nitrate plants al
Muscle Shoals Mr. Ford includes this property in his
offer to the department despite the claim of the
Alabama Company
The feature OF the hearings brings the facts that
the Alabama interests that seeking to purchase Mus
Gle Shoals have already their spurs in the South
creating and carrying large Developments and that
it would that they should be given particular con-
sderaton on account of their accomplished achieve
ments On the other hand Mr. Ford being pictured as
proposition is concerned But Ford lis Ford and there
like him-hence the Ford enthusiasm in con-
nection with Muscle Shoals may, nevertheless be
garded unfortunate for the public interests that the
investigation before Congress does disclose the
tcuar merst claimed for the Ford offer 1t is said that
clear that the Government will not do business with him
unless these changes far favorable than any
thing contained in the earlier proposals.

two elements is amost-but not quite-enough to put

time and money and through the medium of the flowers
tried to declare the love of the heart.
But happened to know that the man whose body had
been given back the earth had lived out his days with
without just appreciation He heart hungry through
many years for sympathy and words of encouragement
He had done many good things for the community, had
lived clean, upright life But because of peculiar
mannersm he was misunderstood. Folks said he
queer So he passed to the portal of death lonely SOUL

end for sympathy and love of his fellows that never

cannot for years of neglect by last hour and

NATIONAL NEWS DIRECT

wABBLING ON THE BONUS

There CONSPICUOUS lack of starch in the Congress
ona support of the soldiers bonus In fact the soldiers
bonus has become sort of ghost that jumps from
dark corners black nights and certain con-
gressmen out of their boots. President Harding insists
that The only way to get money for the bonus by
enacting the sales Congressman have lived thru
the sales tax PERIOD and of them think that
the country would have be choroformed to stand for
it again.
The American Legion is pressing its campaign for the
bonus, and Commander MacNider is nssent on speedy
action. Congress is pretty we'll divided between those
who believe in the bonus and want to pass it, and those
who do not believe in it and want it killed Glass three
lis likewise numerous, and it consists of congressman
whose districts close and who willing to do the
popular thing" the soldiers bonus, any other cold
thing that will make them votes
The President insists that Congress passes the bonus
bill that it must provide the money to pay for it. So
far every proposal 20 raise this money has met with
lstern dsapprova from the White House. Congress is
like the who mortgaged his house and land his crops
and machinery, his livestock and household furniture
and then prevented from placing his wife and child
rem in "That is the fix in, Congress is
telling the eX-service To which the Legion re-
plies: "You talking bunk If Congress wanted to
have billion to fight with, the money would be raised
in week You do the same thing in this bonus
matter" Strange differences of opinion like this are
not unusual in Washington.

"a six months advertising campaign will

directly to the home.
The Journal asks that the Marietta city counc

Increse electrical consumption and decrease tn

Increase the Wealth of Georgia
Through Cooperative Marketing

The cooperative marketing plan for Georgia is
gaining great Roadway.
The campaign ends next week in big drive to
bring the cotton pool up to 100000 bales. Next week
is to be designated as Victory Week." anunoce-
ment of which is made in the news columns of this
week Journal.
Something of the benefits to be derived from co,
Operative marketing is gained by learning what has
been accomplished in other states
1t is connie. knowledge that the farmers of
California are more prosperous than the farmers of
any other section Of the country This is not due
to climate soil, for Georgia natural resources
just as good as those of CALIFORNIA; but the rea-
son for Calforna's prosperity is that the farmers
there have learned to cooperate in the sale of their
farm products. They are selling together instead Of
competing with each other
There are more than score of cooperative mar
ketng associations in California with an aggregate
membership of $4,000 growers, handling business
of more than $25OOOOOOO annually. They are all
Inon-prOft associations operating under long time
delNefy contract
Nearly every commodity is organized including
berries apples pears, oranges lemons dried fruits
raisns, prnues, beans alfalfa, canned goods and
even eggs
The United States census shows that the -four
richest agricultural counties Of the nation are Cali
forna counties in which cooperative marketing !,
developed to its fullest extent.
The case of Fresno is one favored example Eff.
teen years ago when the individual selling system
was followed, practiclly every farm was mortgaged
the banks were close to insolvency and the business
Iot the town was small indeed After less than doz
len years of cooperative marketing of their raisn
crop the county of which Fresno is the county seat
is now recognized the richest agricultural commu
nifty in the world
The cotton pool now being established in Geor-
gia, is cooperative marketing plan worked out on
the same plan as the California marketing assoca-
tons.
Texas and Oklahoma were organized last wear
and the advantages of the cooperative marketing
lot cotton was clearly proven in these States. To
make the plan effective the cooperative move
mcnt has been carried into every cotton producing
State of the South and contracts already signed will
control more than twenty five per cent of the cotton
crop.
