paign will be launched next Monday to
urge all women who are registered to
pay their poll tax Of $500 in order that
they may vote. Those who have failed

Monday from $3.50 a. m. to 1900 o.
clock and from 100 p. m. to $500 p. m.

receive the poll tax, give a receipt for

WHAT OTHER STATE in THE /
UNION is BETTER ADVERTISED |
THAN GOLDEN CALIFORNIA? |

In most every magazine there is an
advertisement about the State of the
Golden West-the land Of sunshine and flow
ers and natures Fairgrounds, where they
raise the famous Sunkist Orange and you see
the Twill kiss" bathing girls. The soil Of
California is like an habitual drunkard al
ways thirsty and has to be often irrigated.
Today this State in the Golden West is one
Of the wealthiest in the Union. This was ac-
cOmplished by advertising, diversified crop
of Sunkist oranges, wil-kiss bathing girls,
prunes and raisins. All eyes are turned to
the Golden West.
We are living in the Sunny South
Where milk and mOIasses flow,
And where corn, cotton and vegetables
will grow.
Try and kiss Lincoln County girl
Your folks behind you will walk slow,
Yes, very slow.
~Providence was good to us when it sent
us the boil weevil The people of Lin
coin County are now diversifying in mind and
crops. We need to advertise. We are CO.
operating with our feIlow-man, which means
your success and our success. The trucking
and dairying industries are organized and the
poultry industry is an assured fact. Last
Wednesday we had as our guest MIR. W. H.
Webb who has taken over the Mays Food
Products plant and with the cooperation Of
the Farm Bureau and the Kiwanis Club they
are asking for 1000 acres beans, cabbage,
pumpkins, tomatoes and beets to can to help
feed the Sunkist people in the Golden West.
AT our next Wednesdays MONDAY lun-
cheon we will have as our guest Mr.. P. H.
Robinson of the Oscar Bowling Pickle Co.,
who has assured us they will operate in Lin
coin county this season. When we stop and
think that the Divine Spirit gave man soul
what greater and better prayer can we offer
than by helping those to help themselves-it
will be answered-They will build.

DETROIT, Mich, March 17.-De- claring that eff it's the last thing I do in this world, I'll exert every in fluence which I can command to keep the hands of Wall Street off of Muscle Shoals" Henry Ford broke his long silence today regarding his offer to purchase the Governments property there.
 MT. Ford declared that his pur- pose had been solely in the inter- ests of the people, particularly the farmers, who want cheap fertilizer, and the business men of the South, who want cheap power.
 The money king was chary of crit icism, except to declare his determin- ation to keep the great power pro- iect from falling into the hands of "exploiters.
 The next step in the Muscle Shoals probably will be taken by MT. Ford, who is due to reply to certain questions and proposals on the part of the Government.
