of 100000 a year. with a POSSIBLE
ity that. in the event Of operation

Compares Advantages.
A statement by MajorGeneral
Williams, chief of ordnance, sum-
marizing the Ford offer from the
standpoint of his department, says
it has the very important adj
vantage of materially assisting in
the development of nitrogen pre-
paredness and has the disadvant-
ages of conflicting with contractual
obligations with the American
Cyanamid company, and the Ala
bama Power company and of max
ing a net return TO the government
of less than S5.000,000 for proper
ties which have an estimated sal
wage value of some $16,GC0,000-
Another statement appended to
the secretary's letter. prepared by
army engineers, points out four
indirect benefits the government
will receive in event the Ford offer
is accepted. They follow:
Four Benefits.
THE maintenance OF a nitrate
plant in readiness for war
emergency.
THE production, in the interest
of the public welfare, of large
amounts of fertilizer at cost not
exceeding the reasonable cost CT
production, providing that the pro-
duction of nitrate adapted to fer
tilizing purposes, is found to be
practicable.
THE elimination Of the cost of
maintaining and operating the
present imperfect facilities for
navigation at Middle Shoals,

The mayor announced that he

What's Behind
the Whistle?

A little fellow who lived
near a railroad crossing once
believed the whistle brought
the trains.
"'course it Does" he told
his father, cause right after
/ hear the whistle blow, the
train comes out of the woods"
1t is mighty easy to confuse
cause with effect. The man
who makes the most noise is not
the man the world makes the
most noise over. The whistle is
not the source of power, but the
result of power.
The man whose name is
heralded abroad h as not
whistled his way to fame. His
high place has been earned by
solid achievement. Publicity is
his because he is big man; he
is not a big man because of
publicity.
A store earns its place in the
regard of the public not by
what it says, but by what it
does. No amount of whistling
alone will bring it "out of the
woods"
