grandparents were so pleased with Ii that
they offered me one acre of land for 500
$40 down and the rest of the money In
three years. They owned twenty acres
aQlacent to the land they offered me, and
as | did not see my way to buy it they
purchased it themselves, intending -as
they said, to sink for salt They did SO,
but instead of salt found oil of the finest
quality 1t spurted fifty barrels the first
week, and in two years they became mil

Lieut.. William J. Bacon, I'd Infantry,

Gen. Harries. commanding the District
of Columbia militia. in approving the
courts decision, had this to say Of the
case the findings of which were made
public yesterday at National Guard
headquarters. in The Star building:
"The record in this case indicates very
clearly that the administration of Com
pany CT, I'd Infantry, was extremely lax
at least during the Period of camp. The
testimony Of the company commander
shows concluSively that he paid no at
tention whatever to one of his most i'm
portant duties. Had proper kitchen in
spection been maintained by that officer
it is reasonably certain that the circum-
stances which led to this trial would
never have existed. A peculiar feature
of the testimony for the prosecution is
of officers and non-commisSionedo officers
who should have had precise knowledge;
facts that should have been of record
were not recorded, and the result is an
exhibition of vague belief uncertain
thought and defective memory. The
statement of the counsel for the accused
that it was his understanding that the
charges were ordered prepared by the
commanding general is without founda-
tion in fact was improper. and has no
legitimate or equitable place IN the pro-
ceedings."

Regiments Come From Districts.

Regiments are recruited from certain
districts in England and the fact that
they are not recruited to their full
strength is to be brought to the atten-
tion of those in the districts. 1t has
been the practice to stick up posters
and announcements outside police sta
tions and churches in England to at
tract recruits, but this is not believed
TO be of any value. 1t has been sug-
gested that permission be given for en-
listed men to wear their uniforms
after discharge on the occasions of
parades, concerts. dances or cere-
monies of an official but unpolitical
nature, or even at military weddings
1t is believed that men who had left
the service would welcome an oppor-
tunity to don their discarded uniforms
and meet in social intercourse with
men of the service.

country have been criticised at times by
members of Congress on the ground that

The latest order issued by the British

nothing can less afford to be done by

that great campaign should be pursued

DELEGATION.

That the delegation from Bruins
wick which will go before the com

Brunswick VIII have no easy task is
OF the preparations which are being
made by Savannah, from the Savan-
nah Press:
At the regular meeting OF the board
merce held this afternoon at 4 O'Clock
with President Leopold Adler presid-
ing, several matters of interest to the
membership, and two of which are of
vital interest to Savannah generally,
We're taken up for consideration.
The first and perhaps of most i'm
pOrIance to be handled was the ques-
ito of securing for Savannah the regu-
lar headquarters of the Sixth light
house district. 1t was expected when
the meeting was called to order that
& committee composed of President
Adler and Judge A. B. Moore would
be selected to take UP the matter with
the proper authorities at Washing
ton.
1t is the present plan to proceed to
Washington, leaving in sufficient time
to reach the capital on Dec. III, and
arrangements have already been made
for the Savannahians to confer with
President Wilson on the day following.

NEW IDEAS IN ADVERTISING
Automobile Ragtlme Band Wagon and
Big Illuminated Balloon Used
Recently In New York.

The two newest ideas in outdoor
advertising were noticed on Broad
way recently, one during the day
and the other at night.
The device during the day was
popularizing a new creation in the
ragtime line. 1t consisted of a large
sightseeing automobile, draped with
white cloth, on which was printed in
black letters the title of the song.
Seated on the auto, with just their
heads and caps visible above the
draperies, we're the members of a
brass band, who played ragtime airs
with emphasis on the newest Gre
alton. While some persons stopped
to look at the draped sightseer as it
rolled along, almost everybody had
his attention attracted by the music.
The advertisement, which is more
effective at night, was large bal
loon. The gas bag was decorated
with the name of firm manufacture
ing chewing gum. By some scheme
of illumination the name of the firm
could easily be read from the side.

PROVIDING FOR THE FUTURE
Philadelphia Hotel Proprietor Pre-
pares for Time When Flying Ma
chimes viii Be Common.

You can fly directly to one of the
most prominent Philadelphia hotels
and land on the elegantly equipped
aeroplane landing which is now in
process of construction, and expected
to be finished shortly. Though prob
ably by the time you get your aero
plane such landings will be cstab-
lished all over the country. For if
this one is success the proprietor
is going to erect a series of similar
ones in different cities.
The landing of the platform is
large and adequate, being about 100
feet long by so feet wide. And there
are to be a series of buffers with
sand bags attached to break the mo-
mentum of the machine. There will
also be trap to catch the aeroplanes
and prevent them from falling off
the roof.
So far, however, nothing has been
said as to whether the price of the
top floor rooms in the hotel will take
tumble owing to the quite natural
disturbances which may result from
the landing of the noisy machines d.
rectly over ones head.
