MILITARY TO SHOOT ON
RANGE IN SHORT time
Americas Light infantry Will
Have One Soon

The Americas Light Infantry Will
soon boast the possession OF a modern
rife range-something the company
has needed for years and which wiz
add greatly to the eff iency of that eX-
celIent command. All preliminaries
have been arranged and work upon
the tract will begin now in short
time.
The soldier boys are enthused over
the assurance of a range and VIII
spend many hours at the targets, per-
fecting themselves in the use of their
new Springfield rifles.
The range will be built upon land
owned by Mr.. T. NJ. Furlow and along
side the Country Club property.
A lease of several years will be made,
and a fine range with distance of six
hundred yards secured. The location
is an ideal one and was used by the
Eighth Massachusetts Regiment when
III camp Lhefe several years ago while
awaiting orders to go to Cuba in the
Spanish-American war.
The county commissioners have
agreed to level the ground for the mil
itary, and will put it in condition in
few weeks at best.
For many years the Light Infantry
has been handicapped for lack of a
rife range, and when the men were
thus required to go to the targets, I'M
der the state military law, they We're
compelled to go to Columbus. or some
other town equipped with this great
necessity for it's military command.
Captain C. P. Davis and other Off
GERS of the Light Infantry are pleased
at the early prospect of a rife range.

five DOLLARS is ADDED
TO PRICE PER BARREL
1t Costs to Put Sugar in the
GOuPd

Americas consumers of that house
hold necessity and expensive trust
product-sugar-ar APPALLED, at the
acroplane stunt it is now doing, as
they are confronted with the alterna-
tive of putting syrup in coffee and tea
or doing without any sweets in their
daily swig for the time, at least.
Five dollars has recently been tack
ed on to the price of ordinary sugar
by the Sugar Trust. 1t costs S. per
barrel more in Americas today than
a month ago.
Some people who handle the sugar
spoon carelessly in filling their tea
glass should remember this. They
certainly would-if they paid the SUI
gar bills. A dollar buys a very little
package of sugar now
Coming at the height of the canning
season this advance is of interest to
consumers over the country. 1t is at
tributed partly to poor sugar beet
crop following prolonged drouth this
summer. To make matters worse the
Cuban crop, which furnishes the bulk
of raw material for American refiners,
also proved short
Far-sighted dealers bought large
supplies some months ago, leaving the
market almost bare of stock, and raw
sugars in consequence have made new
high records, while many operators in
the street predict that the end is not
yet in sight.

SEIZED THE WRONG LEG
and CAUSED A ROW
Atlanta Girl DGVOurGd By Sea
Serpent

Atlanta, Sept. 2.-Rumor got abroad
yesterday that terrible sea serpent
had been discovered in the depths of
the lake at Piedmont Park, where all
the girls and boys go to swim on
Sundays. One young woman had been
dragged under and nearly devoured by
the monster, it was said. But the ex-
PLANTATION was soon forthcoming. An
athletic young swimmer, intending 20
play prank on boy friend, had
dived under water, swimming some
fifty feet and had grabbed hold of
what he thought was his friends ankle,
dragging the owner under water and
out into the depths. Instead Of grab
bling his friend he had hold of the trim
ankle of young woman bather, who
disappeared screaming under the sur
face of the water while her friends
were too Mortified to move. She was
as mad as they ever get when she did
come suffering to the top and it took
a good deal of explaining to convin' {
her that it was an accident.

SEE CONGRESS- END
FINAL VOTE ON RECIPROCITY
BILL is FIXED FOR
JULY %.
SENATORS REACH AGREEMENT
Action on Wool Tariff Revision and
Other important Measures to Be
Taken Before August 8 When
Gavel May Fall.

Washington.-Thes senate by unani-
nous action has fixed the dates when
a vote shall be taken on several i'm.
portant measures and it is believed
by the leaders of the various factions
that the special session Of congress
will adjourn sine die on or about
August z.
The dates are: Reciprocity bill, July
%: house wool revision bill, July 27;
house free-list bill, August l; reap
portionment measure, August 8; Ari-
IONA and New Mexico statehood, Au.
gust T.
1t Is expected that the closing of
congress will Immediately follow the
statehood vote.
All the bills included in the agree
ment already have passed the house.
IF amendments are made to them they
will be still subject to quick confer
ence between the representatives OF
the two houses.
The agreement following a series OF
conferences between Senators Pen
rose, La Toilette, Martin, Smoot, Bal
ley, Stone, Burton, Borah, Bristow,
Bourne and other senators was formal
ly offered in the senate by Senator
Penrose as leader of the Republicans.
The original suggestion for an
agreement was made by Senator La
Toilette, who was willing to fix an
earlier date than that named for the
vote on reciprocity. The demand for
later date was made by others who
desire to speak on the bill.
Many obstacles to fixing the series
Of dates were encountered. Senator
Borah insisted on date for consid-
Grafton of a conference report on the
joint resolution for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people and the vote on state
hood was fixed for the Legislative
day of August z instead of the calen.
dar day of that date in order to pro.
tect the popular election bill.
AS soon as the agreement was re-
ported to the senate the acquiescence
of the regular Democrats was ex-
pressed by Senator Martin.
1--WE think ample time has been
allowed for the debate of all meas.
ures,'' said Senator Martin.
Senator La Toilette agreed that all
interests in the senate had been con
suited and that it had been deemed
wise to agree on dates when all the
important bills now pending could be
disposed of.
The agreement to vote Is so drawn
that amendments may be voted on at
any time.
Senator Cummins introduced new
amendments to the reciprocity bill
One sought to couple revision OF
the tariff on metals with the Cana
dian measure the other proposed a
revision of the duty on oilcloth and
linoleum.

MUSHROOMS AS FOOD.

Professor +. e. Clements, the state
botanist of Minnesota, has attracted
attention by his estimate in a recent
bulletin that the annual waste Of
equals in value the entire agricultural
product of the country, says the Man
chester Union. It Is easy for an en-
thusiast in any line of thought or en-
deavor to lose the sense of just pro-
portion, and it may perhaps be taken
for granted that Professor Clements
hag permitted himself to De carried
away by the contemplation Of the
waste Of natural food product which
is more or less abundant everywhere
and which has an unquestioned food
value. Beginning with early summer
and continuing until late fall, the pro-
duction of mushrooms in woods, pas
lures and waste places is something
enormous. and a large proportion OF
them are not only edible, but nour-
ishing. In so far as they are not
made use of-and small proportion
of them is ever gathered-they Of
course, represent a loss of possible
food supply, but some account must
be taken Of the cost of collecting and
distributing them to consumers, as
well as of the danger from some spe-
cies which are harmful and of at
least two which may be classed as
deadly. These are easily distinguish
ed. to be sure, by any one who has
made a study of the mushroom tribe.
but until Americans, as a rule. are
much more familiar with the subject
than at present. a great proportion of
the edible varieties will continue to go
TO waste.
