FARMERS INDORSE FORD
BID FOR MUSCLE SHOALS
Urge Congress to Accept Offer as
First Step Toward Cheaper
Fertilizer.

Congress is urged by the American
Farm Bureau Federation in a letter
just made public to accept Henry Ford's
offer for Muscle Shoals. declaring that
his possession of the project would be
the first stepin securing for the farmer
lower cost factors of production and
distribution.
During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1928" the federation said,
there was imported 896,99s long tons
of nitrate of soda. On this impor-
tation the consumer in America,
whether a farmer using this nitrate
Of soda as fertilizer, or CONNER
cial or explosive industry using 1t as
raw material. paid tax to the treas
ury of the Chilean government of $11.-
239,3S4.94. That is, this purely arti-
fetal addition to the commercial value
of nitrate of soda cost the consumer
in this country over 10 per cent in
terest on the wartime expenditure at
the Muscle Shoals nitrate plants, in
Guiding the dam. In other words, the
guarantee to manufacture 10000 tons
of fixed nitrogen under the Ford
proposal is equivalent TO an offer or
100000, 900 for the Muscle Shoals
nitrate plants, because the tax paye.o
today are paying the Chile interest
at the rate Of 552 per cent on $780,
000, 900.
"The annual expenditure Of the
farmers for fetilizer in this country
over the past five years has been in
round numbers s300,00O,OO0 IA year.
Muscle Shoals developments since
1918 has cost the farmers of the
country s750.000,000."

WOULD PROVIDE SCHOOL NEEDS

It may be inferred from the action of the general committee to consider needs and con- ditions of the schools with a view to bond issue for improvements that community sen- ximerft favors the largest expenditures for fhia purpose that the city can afford to make. The general committee considered re- ports of the several sub-committees appointed to check up the survey made by the board of education and to inspect conditions, and also the report of the committee on finance fo ascertain how far the city could safely go in issuing bonds The general committee, by a vote of % to II, passed resolution calling for A bond issue of five million dollars for schools only.
 While 1t will be disappointment to many that no provision for relieving the pressing needs of the public library was made. and others will regret that funds for completing the auditorium and providing additional fire equipment were not included in the recommen- dation, it is evident that the needful funds for these projects will soon have to be pro- vided either by an additional bond issue or otherwise, while funds for improving First avenue and for the establishment of an ade- huate garbage system will have to be found at no distant day.
 VI The action of the general committee indi- cates two things-that the community is de- termined to provide adequate public school facilities, and that they have faith in Bir- mingham's ability to provide the necessary funds for that purpose. The five millions If authorized in bond issue election, will meet the school needs for several years on an extensive building program. By the time it is spent there is well-grounded belief that increased property values and assessments in cidnt to community expansion and larger Available municipal revenues will justify not only further school improvements, but the establishment of number of public projects fo meet. community needs Meantime re- turns, direct and indirect, from school facili- ties adequate to care for pressing needs, would be reflected in moral and material betterments which would fully justify the Snvestment.
 The general committees action will be laid before the city commission as a basis nfbn which to call a bond issue election, and it will be for the people to determine the question at the ballot box.

The SIave Of Custom.
By JOHN CARLYLE

At about fifteen minutes after seven in the evening, on any battleship of the United States fleet the bugle sounds Hammock" 1" Bluejackets by the scores and hundreds come piling into the great areas below decks to draw their hammocks for the night. That is to say, they do in theory.
 As a matter of fact most of the crew pre- fer to sleep with their bedding on the floor or on the decks above or on cots. A few sleep in hammocks and those who do, don't 'draw them" when the bugle sounds. But they, go through all the motions at the same time each evening-for it "has always been done"
 Eight bells, indicating the time of day, sounds loud and clear across the ship. The clock is near the captains cabin. No doubt he can hear it. But an orderly immediately approaches, salutes the captain and informs him that the clock has struck eight bells. Make it so," replies the captain.
 Now of course, it is so without the captains making it so. And the captain knew it all the time. But custom is the hardest of mas ters and his slavery is not easy to escape. Because John Paul Jones and Nelson of Ira falgar and Admiral Farragut did thus and so, it is done thus and 80 today. Apparently this is reason enough.
 Every night a guard of British soldiers marches to an unused and rather unimpor- tant building in London and goes on watch. The occasion for guarding this spot long since passed-but it has always been done. And there you are
 Communities and individuals are the slaves of custom. We are all in some degree the thoughtless victims of routine. Inspect your habits some day and see how many things you are doing just because you have always done them. See how many things you are do, ing in just this particular way because you have always done them in just that particular way.
 The mere reason of custom is not reason enough. Your habits should justify them, selves by their proved utility, their demon. strated contribution to your welfare. Check off the things you are doing just because you have always done then. Get reasons or get rid of them. Don't be afraid to substitute new habits, new customs, new methods when the test of time has proved the old ones outworn.
