Claims Against
Shipping Board
Will Be Settled

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Antici-
pating adoption of bill by congress
now in conference between the two
houses, the shipping board announced
tonight a reorganization of its claim
department designed to expedite the
settlement OF claims against the
board totaling $40, 100000.
1t is the expectation of the board,
Elmer Schlesinger general counsel
for the board said, that the claims
would be settled for a sum wen with
in $40, 100000 provided by the bill for
the purpose.
Mr.. Schlesinger said that under a
recent decision OF the United States
court of claims, neither the navy nor
shipping board could be held liable
to damages for the cancellation Of a
war contract on account of the ar
mistice but claimants would only be
entitled to just compensation. The
board, he said, therefore would not
consider prospective profits.
Under the reorganization, Mr..
Schlesinger said. claims will be han
died by individual members of the
claims commission. except those OF an
unusual character. instead Of by the
commission as a whole. No pay
ments however will be made until
the findings of the committee have
the approval of the shipping board.

Mr.. Miller earlier in the exa nina
tion had complained that the Warrior
plant and the company's properties
had been so ingeniously interviewer
that it was impossible for the govern
ment to divide its interests from
those OF the power company or dis
pose Of them to Mr.. Ford or any other
private interest His contentious had
been opposed each time by Mr.. Mar
tin, who said the government was en-
tirely satisfied with the document
when it was drawn and had insisted
upon the option in order to assure
itself a fair return on investments
made il it was ever decided to sell,
rather than junk the plant for a
much lesser consideration.
| Interest in the debate on the War
rior plant and accessories, including
the substatlon and transmission line,
was intensified because of the close
relation to the properties and the
offer Mr.. Ford has made for the
Muscle Shoals project as a whole
In the event congress would accept
that offer. 1t was explained, it would
obligate the government to give clear
| titles to them to Mr.. Ford, and re-
fusal of the power company to sur
render its claim probably would en-
tail prolonged condemnation proceed :
ings in the courts.
While Mr.. Martin declined several
times to reveal the attitude of the
company on that point, he intimated
there would be no alternative accept
able but the fulfillment of the actual
contract obligations on the part OF
the government TO sell the property
to the company at fair valuation
and it would not consent 10 its trans
fer to Mr.. Ford.

A CANNING FACTORY.

This question of canning factory
for Oxford will never be settled un-
til the factory is in operation. we
believe that it is the thing for this
community, and that much good would
result to the benefit of the farmers
of Lafayette county from such a
plant.
Think of one little canning factory
down at Newton, Miss, canning ooo
tons of cabbage, an account OF when
is given elsewhere in this paper. inns
is only one item that the canning
factory at that place puts out. Der
ries. beans, potatoes, and many
things which you buy every day
from your grocer man can be put up
right here in Oxford. Then, why not
90 after a canning factory, Mr.
Chamber of Commerce?
Tt seems that there is sad lack
iny of interest in the upbulldlng Oh
this community. JUSI why '
we are unable to answer. we GER
tainlv have the people-some pubic
spirited men-and as for money II
would not require very much capital
Five to ten thousand dollars would
start canning factory here that
would be the means of distributing
MANY thousands of dollars IN TINS
community every year. The money
which comes from a canning factory
comes a season of the year when II
is most needed.
A creamery, canning factory ana
a few small industries in OXtofd
would help in giving employment 10
the idle young men and girls dur
inp. vacation, and would be wonder
ful asset to the town and county
They would be the means OF build
inp up the community, instead OF let
ting our land go to weeds and waste
We can make Oxford hum with III
dustries, if we only will.
But we must have a canning rae
tory.

SECRET OF THE LADY'S SLIPPER

Lady's slipper of Sarepta,
You've a secret you should tell,
Voices whisper, "She doth know it,"
Whisper oft, "She knows it WELL"
Lady's slipper lovely wilding,
In these high woods where you grow,
Did you feel some tiny footballs
Pressing close the melting snow?
Yes, you felt them and the impress
Of my mothers dainty feet,
Was the mould that shaped you, bios
som,
Lady's slipper 'broidered sweet.
Did you wake to life and beauty
Patterned on that woodland street?
Did your pregnant see-heart tremble
To the tread of small white feet?
Yes, I've wrung confession from you
every where she stepped" you say,
zone of you most-gladly blossomed,"
So you blossom there today.
On the hills of old Sarepta,
Where life's still winds ever blow,
Once the play-place of dear mother,
In sweet days Of long ago.
Thus to me your leaf and petal,
Crimsoned lip, and fragrant breath
Speak of life's TRANSPORTATION,
Touched to beauty out of death.
