"DooD MoRNIN'."

ACH morning when the sun comes
To tint the east with red;
When birds sing sweet the day to
greet
In branches overhead,
'Tis then l fully realize
I'm rich beyond compare,
For sweet and clear a voice / hear:
'DooG mornin', pop! You dere?'
The cares Of day may vest the night
With visions dark and strange;
And through my sleep dark phantoms
creep
And dismal doubtings range.
But when the morning sunlight
breaks
Then farewell doubt and care,
For sweet and clear voice l hear:
"Dood mornih', pop! You dere?"
The day dawns bright and hope re-
wives.
The tasks il brings to me
Seem TO be small IL but the call
Comes fraught with childish glee.
And light of heart l face the day,
For on it's morning air
Comes sweet music my ears to greet:
"Dood mornih, pop! You dere?"
When life is done, its task laid down |;
When comes eternity;
I humbe pray the Judgment day
VIII bring one boon to me.
One boon l ask of Thee, dear Lord
That in that city fair
My ears shall hear that greeting clear:
''Dood mornin', pop! You dere?"

Influx OF People To Muscle

FLORENCE. ALA. Mar. Sl.-Wlth
the interest of the nation fixed for

speedily fulfilled in event of develop

search of the FL Dorado. Folks came
on foot. in horse carts, in motor cars
in day coaches and in palatial draw
ing rooms There were men with
money seeking investments; men in
overalls hunting work. There were
adventures looking for anything they
might find Some spent money law
ishIy: others were wards of the COM
munity and had TO be fed.
The problem at once became so
grave that the town authorities OF

"tri-cities'- out a warning:
Stay away from Muscle Shoals un-
less you come on legitimate business
and have an engagement in advance. >
This stopped some of the fortune
hunters, but yet they came.
The first offer for the government
property caused complete metamor-
phosis of the district The commu-
nifty was stunned when the war work
was stopped the day the armistice
was signed. Putting machinery in
standby" condition was a symbol
of dissipated hopes. But the result
ant somnolent condition was reawak-
cned over night when the word went
forth: Muscle Shoals is to be de-
veioped." Everybody in the district
believed that a bid meant other bids
and that competitors in the field
would result in Acknowledgement by
the government that Muscle Shoals
would not be scrapped.
The people of the district formed
the policy of extending welcoming
hand to builders and the real estate
boards of the three cities declared
that realty prices should not ascend

boards, it is stated, have largely con-
