M'KELLAR PRAISES FORD PROPOSAL IN
 SENATE ADDRESS
Offer in Contract Form Sent to Detroit Manufacturer. Means Cheaper Fertilizer,
 Tennessee Senator Says
By Associated Press

Washington, January 24.-The
 proposal of Henry Ford for pur-
 chase and lease of the government
 properties at Muscle Shoals, which
 was embodied in contract form,
 signed and forwarded today to
 the Detroit manufactures for sig
 nature, was praised today in the
 Senate by Senator Mcclellan. dem
 ocrat, Tennessee, who declared
 accordance of the offer meant
 cheaper fertilizer for the farmers
 and the upbuildinE of . great
 section of the country"
 The Tennesse senator. in the course of his address, attacked the National Fertilizer association, which he as- serted was engaged in spreading hostile propaganda throughout the country bearing on the Ford offer The policy of the fertilizer associa ton with respect to the Ford offer, he declared. ought to be condemned by every right thinking man"
 When Mir. Ford made his offer. said Senator McKellar. it galvan- ized the alleged liability of tbo pov- ernment at Muscle Shoals into a splendid asset. MT. Fords offer is the only prospect that has any ma tetrial substance. It means millions of dollars to the government for its property. It means cheaper fertil- izers for the farmers, and if means the upbuilding of a great section of the country.
 Original Proposal
 Senator McKellar read into the rec ord the text of the originalsFord pro- posal, in order, he said, that the coun- try may know exactly the terms pro posed This offer provided in brief for completion of the Wilson dam by the government to 600,OOO horse power capacity, to be leased by the Ford company for 100 years. upon payment of per cent annually for the estimated cost, at a figure of s2O.- 0OO,000. It also proposed a similar lease on the No. dam and power project at an estimated cost of 5000, 900.
 A letter from MT. Ford's secretary 10 Senator Mcclellan, date January 20, stated that the only material amend ment of MT. Ford's proposal had been insertion of the following clause:
 The company proposes to under take the construction and completion at actual cost of all the work re- ferred to. and when completed and ready for operation will pay to the United States government annual rental of the property in amount to per cent of the total cost of such construction

The movement back to the land has
taken great forward strides in Ger
many ever since the war. All parties
support it, even though their motives
may be different. The conservative
and clerical parties naturally look
upon the home owner as less likely to
be Influenced by agitation for social
change; radicals and socialists, on the
other hand, recognize that a substan-
tial improvement in the condition of
the wage workers cannot for, a long
time to come be expected to result
from wage negotiations. alone, says The
Survey. Even orthodox Marxians, with
few exceptions, have given up. the idea
that a revolutionary change in the So
cial order must be brought about by
a deliberate herding of the masses in
oyercrowded city slulns, where they
may be more easily influenced by play
upon their emotions. And, apart from
2all theories, the" German people have
come to realize that only by return to
the land can they regain racial virility
and tranquility of mind. ~ ~ =

rounds out nearly quarter of centurys splen-
did service in his parish
When Father Lauer came to the City of
East Chicago it had population of only / 300
and very little industrial activity. During his
stay at St. Mary's parish he has seen the com
rnunity grow to population of $4,000 and be-
come one of the leading industrial centers of
America. The energetic pastor has built up
one of the largest parishes in the diocese, a
charge having fine property and an excellent
parish school,
That Father Lauer has exercised bene-
tcient inuuence upon the community and has
been one of the foremost civic boosters. is uni
versaly conceded in his home city.
However, it should be stated that Father
Lauer will not leave the county. At his request
he has been assigned to the pastorate of ST.
Joseph's church at Dyer. There Father Lauer
will succeed the venerable Joseph Flach, who
has labored in the priesthood for nearly half
century.

But they decided to make an attempt at
running. They received the surprise of their
lives. In spite of all those handicaps business
not only continued as usual but each week show
ed gain. The stores service was up to its
standard and the public was willing to put up
with the little inconvenience of getting in and
out of the building
With the completion of this first addition
more departments were added and more COM
plete lines of merchandise were placed in stock.
1t then possible for the housewife to visit
the store and select from the vast stock anything
she needed, be it furniture, new party gown
jewelry, groceries or a set of chinsware. She
could do a days shopping without leaving the
building.
Edward Minas believes that the success Of
his store is largely due to the fact that he has
conferred his entire interest in it. He has con-
sistently refused to affiliate himself with any
thing which would force him to divide his at-
tention.
He has been approached on several occas-
ions by persons who desired him to open
branch stores in neighboring cities. He has al
ways fatty refused, holding that he could give
better service from one large store. He insist
ed that he wanted to be connected with only
one store and wanted that store to be the best
he could make it. He has stuck to it.
His brother Emil formerly owned fur
niture store, but wished to retire from busi-
ness, and the Greenwald Brothers desired to
purchase same. For reasons best known to
Emil Minas, he consented to incorporate the
firm under the name of the Minas Furniture
Co., but since, he has sold his entire interest
1t never entered Mr. Minas mind the confusion
it would cause in the minds of the public and
the annoyance to the Edward c. Minas Co. For
this reason we wish to state. that neither Ed
ward C. Minas his brother Emil. nor any men,
Der of the Minas family is in any way con-
nected with the Minas Furniture Company. 4

CTEADY and substantial growth has charac-
~ terized the business of Edward c. Minas
since first he started in Hammond in 1890.
In 1895 he moved into his new building on
State street. 1t had frontage of fifty feet Just
ten years later the department store had out
grown its building. The business had been in
corporated under the name of Edward c. Minas
Company.
Another fifty feet of land was purchased Just
west of the store and addition was erected
which doubled the floor space.
Hammond in those ten years had doubled
its population. So had East Chicago. Whiting
was growing rapidly There was no Gary. New
industries locating in the Calumet region
and more families were moving in. The district
was rapidly taking its place great manufac-
turing center.
The department store of the Edward c
Mnas Co. was meeting the heavy demands of a
rapidly expanding business
Determined that the new building should be
a thing of beauty to which Hammond people
could point with pride. Mr.. Minas decided to
tear out the front of the old building and re-
build it according to plans which would
give 100 feet of Uniform frontage
It was tremendous task. Right in the bus
lest season false fronts built. Plank canopies
over the sidewalk protected pedestrians but shut
off the daylight from the interior. Scaffoding
INSTRUCTED the entrances. Patrons had to stoop
and pick their way carefully in entering the
the store Mr. Minas and his executes at one
time were on the point of suspending business
altogether until the improvements were made
when they considered the difficulties under
which they would operate. ---~....--xa
