into it - whatever that means-and I guess l did. But was that truck a bar gain? Oh, boy, even Pa had to admit it.
 The man who wanted to sell it, said they manu- factured roofing materials, iron and steel ceilings, sky lights, cornices and such things, and business had fallen off a bit and they hadn't as much use for the truck right now as they had for the money.
 "You know how it is with business" he said to Pa.
 "You bet I do," said~Pa.
 I let Pa think it over all the way home, only putin in a word now and then about what a bargain it was. But did l remind him that the bass season opened Sunday? I'll say l did-an d that it was Oscars Sunday for the car, too.
 Of course I won't say that decided Pa, but the next day he came home and told me he had had Oscar look at the truck and Oscar had agreed it was a bargain, and so he was go- ing to get it. And he had a new kind of bass bait he said he had to try out.
 And maybe I didn't get swelled up next week when Pa came home and said, casual-likc, that it was a good thing he had bought that truck, for they had had to hurry up some de- liveries on a new builders hardware contract.
 "I knew all along you needed that truck, Pa," I said. "And I knew you'd find it in The Age-Herald Want Ads"

FERRY LANDING
 CHANGE ASKED
Chamber Head Wants Tourist Cars To Pass
 Through City

ALBANY-DECATUR Ala, Oct. IS. The matter of ferry landings for the Twin Cities one at Bank street ln- stead of the present ferry landing out east from both cities was put squarely up to the Albany city council Friday night by W. J. Meininger, secretary of the Albany-Decatur chamber of com merce. MT. Meininger showed that the Albany council alone has the power to close the so called east ferry. He ssid that such an arrangement would mean that the hundreds of tourists passing north and south here daily would come directly through the busi- ness sections of Albany Decatur in stead of many blocks east of the busi- ness section as is now the case.
 Mir. Meininger also reported to the council that ,37 industries had been represented in the Twin Cities in the last 10 days as seeking locations in this vacinity. The council elected Thomas A. Bowles cashier of the Cen tral National bank, as treasurer of the city of Albany Friday night and James w. Petty as assistant city clerk.

 Sub Stations PIanned-The Tennes- see laboratory located here may soon set up sub stations at different points in the Tennessee Valley, It is expected that the first sub station will be lO- cated at Hartselle.
 To Try Weevil PoisOn-Chamber of commerce officials here announced Sat urday that Mir. Loeb of New York City has written a prominent physician that next spring he will try out new boil weevil poison in this section of the Tennessee Valley.

MOTIVE IS SOUGHT FOR WITHDRAWAL OF FORD OFFER
Shoals Section Recalls His Declaration Fight
 Has Just Begun
(By Associated PresS)

SHEFFIELD, Ala, Oct. 1S.-Just what the effect economically of the reported withdrawal by Henry Ford of his offer for Muscle Shoals in this sec tion will be remains to be seen; accord ing to those in closest touch with con ditions in North Alabama.
 One of the results of Ford's with drawal of his bid has been a feeling of resentment by many persons who have invested in real estate and have ex- pended big sums in industries in antic- ipation of the day when Ford should first take over the big dam after his bid has passed the senate.
 Motive Sought
 Others in Muscle Shoals district, who first expressed amazement upon hearing the news of Mir. Ford's action are searching for a possible motive which may have moved the Detroiter to such action.
 Three months ago, it was said, Ford announced the fight to gain control of Muscle Shoals had just begun. Some business men of this city have even gone to the extreme of questioning MT. Ford's stand taken at that time in face of latest developments.
 The fact that his bid has been re- pudiated does not mean that the fight for acceptance of the original Ford program has been dropped, say leaders of this community.
 Senator Oscar w. Underwood has just announced that so far as the gov ernment is concerned the bid still stands no official or formal notice having been served on President Coolidge or Sec retary of War Weeks.
 Senator Underwood has expressed himself in favor of Ford's offer, but in event the plan is not accepted by congress, he wants some other bid car rying the same provisions as set forth in the Ford offer submitted and ap- proved.
 It was Senator Underwood who led the fight in the senate in the last ses- sion of congress for adoption of the Ford measure He made repeated ef- forts to bring the bill to the floor.
 Meanwhile Governor Brandon will be asked to call a special session of the legislature to consider a proposal for State operation of Muscle Shoals. ac- cording to State Senator John Craft, of Mobile.
 Following the converting of the leg islature petition will be circulated to approve state control and operation, says Senator Craft.

Until late in the week it was thought the work could be completed for submission to the court this week but Mir. Black stated that further time was needed.
