Washington-A new offer for the
electric power to be generated at
Muscle Shoals, promising return of
500, 100000 to the government over a
period of fifty years, was rendered
today by the nine principal associated
power companies of the southern
states. The offer does not include the
nitrate plants, which would be left
free for the manufacture of fertilizer
by Henry Ford or any one else who
could come to terms with Congress;
and specifically reserves a certain part
of the power to be developed at the
Wilson Dam next year, for the manu-
facture of fertilizers under such terms
as the government might prescribe.
Representative Hull of the House
military committee, really developed
the new proposal by his recent request
to the federal power commission, to
invite offers for the hydro-electric
energy to be developed at Wilson
Dam in 1925.
DecIarde Better Than Ford's.
After the submission of the offer
today Mr. Hull, in statement, de-
clared the Ford offer utterly made
quate" and "of doubtful possible
benefit" by comparison. He said he
would introduce an appropriate reso-
luton in the House.
That part of the offer which pro-
vides for the manufacture Of fertilizer
"a point which has been the storm
center in all the negotiations and
discussions for the disposal of Muscle
Shoals to Henry Ford-is as follows:
"Under the plan proposed ample pro-
vision would be made for the supply
of electric energy for the manufacture
of fertilizer at Muscle Shoals, such
energy to be supplied at actual cost
to the licensee.''
To Discuss New Processes.
Although the offer itself does not
disclose the fact, it is known that
certain manufacturers not now con-
nected with the fertilizer business,
are prepared to disclose new processes
which, it is said, when used in con-
nection with the hydro-electric power
promise revolutionary developments
in the productions of fertilizer and
tremendous reductions in price.
The companies associated in making
the offer to the federal power commits
sion are: the Columbus Electric COM
pany; the Carolina Power ard Light
company; the Yadkin River Power
company; the Asheville Power and
Light company; the North Carolina
Electric Power company The Ten
o+,,,a IL
Memphis Power and Light company,
the Alabama Power company and the
General Georgia Power company.

FOUND GUILTY
Steve IvanOwski Sold Farm
to Adams as Noon
making Place.
GETS $3.50 ANh COSTS

It was a case of the squealer being
trapped this morning in the municipal
court when Steve Ivanowski was found
guilty on three counts of unlawful pos
session, manufacture and sale of moon
shine whiskey. A trial was held be-
fore Judge Slater without jury, the
jury being waived by the defense rep
resented by Attorney Potter of Racine.
Ivanowski was the man whose COM
plant to Sheriff Pabst that Frank Adj
ans had "stolen" his wine on Som
ers farm, and that Adams made moon
shine, resulted in raid on the farm,
in Adams arrest, conviction and fine.
Both Adams, former Racine tele-
graph operator, and his wife, testified
for the state against Ivanowski this
morning. They said they bought the
farm of him and that he told them they
could make bushels of money by MAX
ing moon.
Then Ivanowski went and squealed
on us" said Mrs. Adams.
Sand you squealed on him didn't
you? ?" asked Potter.
"Yes!" she answered emphatically.
''Can you blame us? He told US how
he's paid off the mortgage and about
all the money he had made. Why he
said he kept money under the tables

in a short time, and being greenhorns,
we believed him. We thought it a
good proposition and we'd try it,"

to the court, said his client was either
insane or a simpleton, he didn't know
which, if he had been a moonshine
maker and yet went to the sheriff's
Office with a complaint against the
very man to whom he had sold the
farm after holding out such alleged
rich inducements, that it was a moon
making and money making place.
Judge Slater, however, found Ivan
owski guilty and fined him $3.50 and
costs, or six months in jail
In case the court is able to collect
this fine, which this morning seemed
difficult, the court will have collected
over S1,7O0 as the result of the
sheriff's spectacular raid on the farm
in Somers township.
Sturman Found Guilty.
Sam Sturman was found guilty of
unlawful possession of moonshine Ii
quor by the jury in his case which
brought in a verdict late Tuesday af-
ternoon. Sentence was deferred. The
case was the result of raid made by
the police during which Sturman sold

Science

Many scientists turned away from
astronomy thirty years or so ago
because it was supposed it had
reached its limit. Certain things
mad been discovered. certain theories
formed therefrom and it was
thought there was little more. as to
general theories. that could be
learned.
At that time it was believed that
the stars went on and on through
space irdefiniteIy-that there was no
end TO them. Fortunately, all
scientists did not have the idea that
astronomy was right in this and in
other respects. 1t finally was dis
covered that if the stars went on to
infinity the number visible would de-
pend on the cube Of the aperture of
the telescope. The greatest aperture
at the disposal of man is that of the
Mt. Wilson telescope. which has one
of 100 inches. The fact is that we
do not see anything like the number
Of stars needed to support the
theory Of their infinity and the
modern conclusion is that they thin
out within the distances of moderate
sized telescopes. The most recent
estimate is that they number about
fifteen billion.

comprise the revolutionary army of
Honduras.
The figure is not imposing in it

What is the difference between
Communism and Socialism?
Communism is a theory Of govern
ment and social order according to
which property and the instruments
of production are held as a common
trust, and the profits arising from all
labor devoted to the general good.
In rare cases this involves the aboi
ton Of the family. Socialism is a
state of society based on public own
ership of the main instruments of
wealth production, and on democrat
ic management Of the industries of
the community for the benefit of its
members. Socialism is distinguished
from communism in not aiming at d
