EXPLOSIVE OFFERED
Government Will Supply SOdatol To
 Alabama Farmers

AUBURN, Ala, Sept. 29.-(Speoial) In line with established policies of salvaging war materials for construc- tive purposes, announcement Is made by L. c. LeBron of the agricultural engineering department of the Agri- cultural college here, that the gov ernment has allotted to Alabama a certain amount of sodatol, war ex- plosive, to be distributed to the farm CTS on condition that they pay freight and cartridging charges.
 As explained by MT. LeBron, sodatol is strong explosive, being IS per cent stronger than 40 per cent ammonia dynamite. It was manufactured and used in large quantities during the war, and that which is being offered to the farmers represents the supply on hand at the close of the @war. The allotment for Alabama is stored at Ashburn, Mo, and the cartiridging and freight charges to Alabama( are only third of the cost of Ndy- namite. which is generally used \by farmers for explosive purposes. \

DECATUR BUSINESS Is ENCOURAGED BY EXT PANSION REPORT
Indications Are That L. & N. Shops Will Employ Many
 Additional Men
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAUl
 THE AGE-HERALD Decatur, Ala, Sept, 29

One of the most cheering announce ments in many months here was that of employment of additional men at the Louisville and Nashville shops. Officials will not confirm tho rumors of further expansion of the indus try, but retail business circles derive much encouragement from them.
 In the lower yards here it Is said that four new tracks have been laid and this, together with the fact that most of the new men are being as- signed to that department, Is taken to mean that much of the repair work of the system will be done here in future.
 One of tho improvements which have been rumored for the local plant is turn table" which would permit the larger engines of ths system to be handled here with much less diff fculty than at present.
 The road owns a large track of land just south of the shops, part of which Is utilized, but there Is room for much expansion.
