COTTONWOOD TREES ARE
GUARDED BY ONIONS

Onions have been known to separ.
ate lovers, but their use as a means
for separating insects from trees ia
comparatively new in this country.
According to q recent visitor at the
Golden Sunset Ranch" near Jordan,
this practice is in vogue.
Alongside Of the cottOnwoods were
noticed thrifty-looking onions going
to seed. The owner Of the ranch,
when asked, explained that they act as
bodyguards to the trees, warding off
insects that prey upon them The in
sects dislike the odor Of onion and
steer clear of the ground where the
trees are planted.

GROUND BROKEN
 FOR PLATE MILL
Tennessee Company Starts Active Construction On
 Huge Program
Fairfield Bureaul

FAIRFIELD. Ala, March 20-Pre- liminary work was begun Thursday afternoon on the plate mil, to be erected in the Fairfield works by the Tennes- see Coal. Iron and Railroad company.
 Information to this effect thrilled the business men of Fairfield and others interested in the industrial development of this district when it became known. The work done Thursday consisted in the displacement of trees. the removal by the Fairfield works of Instructions on the site and clearing away of the space to b. used for the immense plant to manufacture corrugated and plai sheets
 It was stated that the engineering department of the Fairfield works had plans on hand and would proceed with the construction without delay.
 Fairfield has been given many re- ports about the cost of the new plant and while no official statement has been made, it is believed that the total will be great. In this connection it was stated in business circles that the scarcity of labor, always accompany ing period of construction, is already being felt and attribute the scarcity to the fact that the Tennessee company is building up it's organization by taking on nearly everyone applying for work
 The construction of the new Dlare mill and the open hearth will be under tine direction of the construction de- partment of the Tennessee company and il is the source of considerable pride in this section that Max r Mellon of Ensley will be prominently identified with work which is expected to affect the entire industrial situation in the south.

ment of a plant on the site between Wylam and Ensley, where slag is being removed, was not given serious consid- eration in Ensley Thursday. The state: ment was believed entirely erroneous as the fact is well established among widely informed men of this community that no plant is to be constructed at that point.

PASTOR PRAISES
 YOUTH OF SOUTH
Dr. Hendrix Believes s
 Youngsters Worthy !, Of Ancestors
tENsLEY BUREAU)

That the boys and girls of the south would worthily wear the mantle of the men who fought in gray, and that while the youngsters may be diverted from time to time, they would return to the faith and spirit of their fathers, was the declaration of Rev. W. R. Hendrix, before the Ensley Kiwanis club Thurs. day. He spoke to members of Camp Pat Cleburne. United Confederate Vet erans, the Kiwanians. sponsors for the veterans and one Union soldier, w. E. Winning.
 The occasion was an entertainment given by the Kiwanians in honor of the soldiers and was attended by ap- proximately 100 persons.
 The address of Dr. Hendrix, spoken at a time when his own. father a Con- federate veterans is rapidly sinking was especially touching and there were many eyes dimmed while the well known clergyman spoke of the soldiers who fought for the south.
 The program was opened with an in. vocation by Dr. Thomas J. Springfield, and soon thereafter Kenneth Griffith sang two songs that were received with wild applause.
 There followed "Old Black Joe" by the chorus of students from the council school for negroes, who led the entire congregation in that familiar strain. The singing of the chorus of negro boys and girls, which was their second ap- pearance before the Kiwanians, provok- ed continuous applause and drew a tribute of singular beauty from Dr. Hendrix who spoke of the affection and love that exists in the hearts of true southerners for the negro. The vet erans were introduced to their hosts by Mrs. Joe Smith, sponsor for the camp and were received with wild ac- claim by the Kiwanians. There fol- lowed a saw speciality by William Thompson, and a violin selection by Miss Bessie Copeland, accompanied by Mrs. Howard Layton. The address of Dr. Hendrix followed. Miss Ellen Du- puy concluded the program with a solo, Annie Laurie" accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Hassler.

FLOWING GOLD" STAR
 IS ANNA Q. NILSSON

Anna c. Nilsson is already recog- nized as one of the most versatile of the screens leading ladies. She has reputation for assuming the most difficult and unusual roles and walk ing off with the picture. In Flow ing Gold" the First National picture produced by Richard Walton Fully, which comes to the Trianon next week. Miss Nilsson carves deeper the niche she alread., possesses in the hearts of film devotees
 The role of Allegheny Briskow, which she so ably portrays. is one few actress could interpret with such finesse. In the earlier action of the story she is an oyergrown and awk- ward daughter of the Texas plains, of straightened circumstances and con- sumed with repressed desires. The family's pitiful struggle against ad- versity and starvation on their small dry acreage seems to dwarf her very soul.

FARCE COMEDY
 FIRST OFFERING
Jefferson Players To Open Monday With The
 Alarm Clock

Avery Hopwood's latest farce, "The Alarm Clock a hilarious story of bachelors and unbachelors. las been chosen as the first offering of the lief ferson Resident Players, and when the curtain goes up at the Jefferson Mon- day night, Birmingham will be the third city in the United States to witness the latest mirth-provOking work of the famous farce writer. 'The Alarm Clock" is at present playing Boston after q three months run in New York.
 The story has to do with Bobby Brandon, a wealthy man-about-town, and bachelor with a penchant for the society of chorus girls and married ladies. One of these wives, while her husband is ill the Senate at Washing ton, loves to play around with Bobby. His many other lady friends. however. make her jealous and when he develops rheumatism in one foot, she prevails upon the doctor to call it gOut and scare him with the shadow of death. The foot is his alarm clock and it is said he must give up his rapid life. The lady, Mrs. Dunmore, sends to nuulHlS-SOTDeGS lOE DODDl HtputM. his tiancee, and her mother. They will live with Bobby and give him some real family life.' They arrive and are found to be intensely countrified. Mary, the fancee, is another Sis Hop kins. After her first visit to the Fifth avenue shops with friend of Bobby's she dresses up and becomes most dig nified young lady. So much so that Bobby falls in love with her, but she is the fiance of Bobby's nephew, which makes it very complicated until it develops that the nephew has eloped with a Ziegfeld chorus girl.
 Many amusing complications serve to keep the audience in a continual round of laughter from curtain to cur tain and there is every indication that 'The Alarm Clock" will prove to be one of the most delightful offerings of the season.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-03-21

Then into her life. simultaneously with riches beyond her widest dreams comes love in it's sweetest guise. Eag erly she studies and strives to become woman worthy of this love, and gradually develops into charming and cultured young lady.
 Miss Nilssons notable work in The Spoilers" and ''Ponjola" have partic. ularly attracted attention of recent months. but Flowing Gold" gives her opportunities for characterization she did not have in eithe~ of these great dramas.
 Milton Stills, one of the screens fav- orite leading men. has q role wonder fully suited to his physique and per sonality in Flowing Gold" He plays the part of Calvin Gray. debonair soldier of fortune and oil speculator, and t seems to the observer as if Rex Beach, the author, must have had in mind when writing the great novel.
