What Henry Ford Has Done
For The South.

n StrVlCe OF lfnmeasuraDl6 Valu
| has been rendered to the south b,
Henry Ford. He has converted al
the skeptics in the country includ
ing congressman, who, heretofore
have undertaken to belittle Muscle
Shoals, as to the enormous value ol
the Tennessee River for transporta.
ton and for hydro electric develop
ment. He has quickened the
eagerness of all the banking in
terests identified with the water
power people to secure this property,
which so long went a-begging be-
cause the national government un-
der democratic and republican
control would never recognize its
full value and its illimitable poten-
tialities for the betterment of water
transportation on the Tennessee,
for the creation of hydro electric
power. which would add, it is safe
to say, hundreds of millions of dol
lars to the wealth of the south, and
thus to the wealth of the country.
The despised and neglected Mus
Gle Shoals has now become the
center of the nations thought and
congressman who have heretofore
secuted its value have now come to
d full and frank recognition of what
the utilization of this great poten.
tiality means for the wealth of the
nation.
Ford has been the genius who
has created this new. value for
Muscle Shoals. If congress decides
thatthe national government should
develop Muscle Shoals and make it
vast nitrate center, Ford's offer
will nevertheless have given to the
south greater advertisement than
all the railroads and all the water
power companies in this section
combined have ever given it, in the
way of publicity through every
newspaper and every business office
in the land.
Moreover, if Muscle Shoals is de-
veloped by the government for vast
nitrate-making interests, Ford's in.
terest in the south has become go
great that it is possible his activi-
ties may be centered upon other
great hydro electric potentialities OF
which there are many not yet uti-
lized. His attention we know has
been called to some of the larger
opportunities awaiting development
and with his enthusiasm for water
power and with his realization of
the south's vast resources and of its
enormous possibilities for carrying
on his present activities as we'll as
for the development of the things
which he anticipated doing at Mus
Gle Shoals, there may come out of
this whole agitation some new
movement which will stimulate TIE
larger utilization of southern water
powers now lying idle. The atten-
tion of others, too, will be centered
upon these possibilities, and the
south to larger extent than for
many years will now become the
focusing point for the thought and
energy of the captalistic interests
of the entire country.
We repeat, Henry Ford has rem
dered the south service of inn
measurable value in forcing con-
gress to recognize and utilize Muscle
Shoals. Manufacturer Record.

the lookout for counterfeit German
stamps alleged TO have been made
in London during the war for use
by English spies in Germany.
The rigidity of the German cen
sorship was such during hostilities
that enemy spies found great
trouble in getting reports out of
the country. Various methods of
transmitting information through
INVISIBLE ink are said to have been
detected with ease, and the spies
finally were obliged to resort to
using the backs. of stamps
The official German postage ma
terial. it is said, was of such tex
ture that it could not be adapted
for the use of chemical inks, and
counterfeit stamps on suitable pa
per were manufactured in London.
A Danzig phiiatelic expert says
the forgery was revealed by "a high
diplomat" in London, who turned
over TO philatelist an unused
quantity of the stamps. at the same

WORLD WAR VETERANS TO Gel
ERRATE GRANTS BIRTHDAY

Veterans of the world war will Join
with those of the Civil war in appro-
priately observing on April 81 the an
niversary of the birth of Ulysses S.
Graf. The aid Of the ex-service men
of the last war was solicited by the
Grand Army and was promptly given
by Hanford MacNider, national COM
mander of the American Legion.
Under plans which have been agreed
upon by the two organizations the
Legion will assist in every way pos
sible the Grand Army in those COM
munities in which both organizations
are represented. In those where there
is only Legion post the program of
exercises will be carried out by the
world war veterans alone.
Under plans announced the schools
will be visited by delegations Of both
Civil and world war veterans. This
plan has been formerly carried out by
the Grand Army members but this
year will mark the first time that the
Legion men have undertaken this
work.
In addition to the two units of for
mer service men, many civic, fraternal
and patriotic organizations have writ
ten to national headquarters OF both
the Grand Army and the Legion ask
ing that places be reserved for them
on the community programs. Efforts
to bring into the exercises practically
all Of these organizations will be made
in an endeavor to make the day a sue
cess.
- The 1000 posts of the Legion will
be furnished with instructions which
will govern the parts they will take in
the centenary. This is done, head
quarters states, with the view Of max
ing the programs in various parts Of
the country as uniform as possible.
Announcement Is also made that the
Legion will celebrate the birth of Gen
eral Robert E. Lee. Although this
does not come until January 10, 1923,
bulletins regarding it have already
been prepared.
