I want Muscle Shoals to complete it. It's a wonderful job, one of the great est opportunities ever offered any man. "I want Muscle Shoals so that it can never be exploited to greedy pri vate ends.

Thomas A. Edison, tall, angular j stood by his side a wisp of his White hair blowing ip the breeze, shading i his eyes with his hand against the j blinding rays of a declining sun. j "I've got all the money I can ever ] want, more than Edison can ever f want more than I can ever hope to i spend if I tried to spend it on my self, Mr. Ford continued.

GERMAN GAINS BREATHING SPACE THREE YEARS' DELAY FOR IN DEMNITY PAYMENTS?AGREE MENT SAID TO HAVE BEEN REACHED WITH ONLY AC TUAL DETAILS REMAINING. Paris Dec. 6.?'Germany will prob_ f-ronud a f-.hrp? vears' delay auijf uc 6'""? ~c ? in her cash indemnity payments, the Associated Press is informed from the most reliable source. Nego tiations are now going on between reparations officials of France and Ghceat Britain and the responsible of ficials of both countries virtually agree that Germany must be given a breathing spell. All that remains to be done is to work out a scheme ac :eptable to both countries. The suggestion of a three year moratorium has been abandoned at :he. earnest solicitation of France. The French represantatives explain ed that the word moratorium was especially offensive to the French people in connection with the indem nity inasmuch as it was understood is meaning complete suspension of! payments of all kinds. I The greatest progress has 'been nade in the last few days in bring ng the French and British view points together; the result of this progress has been the decision to jive Germany a chance to regain a lormal status. i The reparations holiday can not| je used by Germany as a means of j ;vading all future payments of in- j lemnity, French officials explain' | >ut it is being considered so that ) Germany will better be able at the I ind of two or three jjyears to fulfill aer reparation obligations and she ;hen must be prepared to pay in full i "reasonable indemnity." The whole problem will be formal-1 !y placed before the reparations commission when the German reply i ;o the last reparation note is receiv ed probably at the end of this week, [n the meantime the officials are working hard to reach a common plan of action. Numerous sugges tions are under consideration. PRUNING OF FRUIT TREES P?acH- Plum and Ad Die Trees Should Be Pruned In Early Winter Clemson College Dec. 6.?Fruit trees such as peaches, plums and apples should ibe pruned during the late fall and winter months.. At this season the farmer as a rule has more spare time than at any other. The trees may be pruned when the soil is too wet for general farm vrork. It is necessary to spray fruit trees if a profitable crop of fruit is to be produced say the Clemson horticul turists. In order that the sprays may be applied properly It is essential that he trees be pruned before the spray is applied. The time for apply, ing the winter spray is during Janu ary and February immediately after the trees have been pruned. The surplus large branches should be thinned so that the sunlight may reach all parts of the tree and thus oause the fruit spurs on all lateral branches ' to develop. If the tree is left too thick fruit will form only on the outer branches where the sun_ light reaches them. After the tree has been thinned properly the limbs should be shortened back to at least one.half of the previous season's growth. If this is done every fall the limbs will become stocky and better able to support a heavy crop. In pruning apples it is not neces sary to prune back the branches of the previous season's growth if the tree has reached bearing age; all that is necessary is to thin out interfering limbs and shorten in any branches that may be growing too rapidly so that the tree may be properly bal_ antcu. ?f aici opivuM vi *-j?uv branches near the fork of the tree should be removed. Both peach and apple trees should be pruned low so the branches when weighted down with fruit will almost touch the ground. This will protect the body of the tree from the sun and at the same time aid greatly in the harvesting of the fruit. Mrs. Charlotte Cameron explorer author and lecturer says the African native discovered the permanent coiffure long before the wave struck this country. f CHICAGO WOMAN KILLS NEIGHBOR'S BABY GIRL When Polic?

This focus must be the way it appears to others, too since the cor_ respondent is delightful to note that a reportorial Sherlock Holmes of one of the local newspapers undertakes to ascertain the reason why. On a recent evening the reporter stationed himself in the lobby of the Peachtree Arcade, the heart of At lanta, through which thousands of women shoppers pass daily and ask ed the first 30 unescorted women whd passed him VWhy do you powder your nose."
