The recent visit of the
members of Congress has
been of some benefit. They
say now that work of some
kind will begin on the Mus
Gle Shoals project by July.
But what we would like to
see, is is for Henry Ford to get
this job, and then push it as
he does every thing else he
has anything to do with.
When he takes hold of, the
whole country will wake up,
and new life will be given
to many enterprises. Thou
sands Of the unemployed will
get to work, and we will see
the whole situation changed.

Now is the time to begin
the 1922 road work. Get ev-
erything ready, and grade
the road in your district. Ar
rangement can be made to
have it dragged, and then
you are assured Of a good
road the balance Of the year..
If you want an idea of what
it means to have a graded
road, and, one that is kept
dragged, look at the one
from Selmer to Finger, and
from Selmer to McLeod's.
The people along these roads
have put in lots of time and
money, and supplemented
by the automobile help, the
roads are good ones. They
can be put in the county, in
all sections, if the people
will only cooperate. So let's
quit holding back, and or.
ganize for the 1922 work.

You may not always agree
with the position that Sen
ator Shields takes, but there
is no disagreement over the
fact that he is a Senator of
recognized ability, and has
the courage of his convic-
lions. He does not talk Of
ten nor long, but he "speaks
out in meetin' occasionally.
The last utterance of the
Senator was in opposition to
the pending bill to increase
the Federal Judiciary by the
addition of 10 new judges.
Among other things, the
Senator said that the Fed
eral Judges, or some Of
them paid too little attention
now to their duties, and
gave too little time. His
idea was that if the Judges
put in the time on the bench
that was required Of them
that it would not be neces-
.sary for the increase.

",IAKING THE GRADE"

perchance there is no male screen
nIaver today who really relishes fight
scenes in pictures more than David
Rptler, the popular star who brings
nc latest cinema offering, Making

February and 8.
David is an all-round athlete and
20 there are no rough episodes in
his pictures he is very much cha
grined. Fortunately, however, the
scenario writer's have managed to in
ioct ample scenes calling for physi-
oo1 action on the part of the young
star and in Making the Grade
navid appears in several of the fast
oct fight scenes ever filmed.
Imagine yourself caught in a den
of Rolsheviks-all ready to pounce

vour body. This does not faze David
Rutler No stree! The faster they
come the better he likes it. In Max
ing the Grade David really did some
remarkable fighting. The Bolshe-
viks we're real native Russians who
understood very little if any English.
When the interpreter yelled for
eight" they fought and fought in
earnest. Naturally David could not
take time to demonstrate with them
so he plunged into the fray full tilt,
giving the motion picture public one
of the most realistic movie fights
ever filmed.

guardian were off for an ocean trip
in Robinson Crusoe, Ltd the lat

which will be shown at the Grand

had just lodged a floating mine,
when Ham" installing it for a
whale, shot at rhe mine and blew up
the ship.
THE girl" and her guardian made
their way to the Sandwich Islands,
the home of cannibals, and short
time later Ham" made port in a
private yacht, towed by bark,
coming to shore in tub pulled by
little fuzzy dog.
Robinson Crusoe was soon found
to be the only other white man on
the island, but his influence was not
able to save the stranded trio from
persecution by the cannibals This
was accomplished, however, by pair
of dice which Ham calmly brought
forth as the cannibal chief had the
ak raised to separate Ham from
his head.
