INTRENCHING TOOLS HAVE
Been RECEIVED BY A. |. |.
For Use When EnCampmGnt
is Held

When the Americas Light Infantry
goes upon the trip to st. Simon Island
il July for summer encampment, the
soldier boys will take with them a
complement of spades, axes, steel
picks and huge shears in addition to
canteens and boyonets, and blankets,
heretofore the principal articles lug
ged by the troops. This fact became
apparent when Captain James Fort, Of
the Light Infantry, received yesterday
from the department of the adjutaut
general in Atlanta a shipment of hard
ware which, at first glance, might
have been intended for a lumber
camp.
Explanations followed, however,
and the shipment of axes, spades aud
shears, it was ascertained, was really
intended for the troops-intrenching
tools which they are expected to use in
actual service wherewith to throw up
Nf nm
sary articles for the purpose. In the
event the troops charge across an
open level tract, unprotected by
trees, they may, with the implements
carried throw up an entrenchment
which would afford them protection.
The large shears, or wire cutters, NAV
be used in cutting lines of barbed
wire, which are often encountered now
in warfare.
All of this will be new work for the
troops, and they may do little initial
or practice work with the spades and
picks before going away to camp two
weeks hence. Some of the men will
not be entire strangers to the art The
new tools are regarded with much cur
iosity since they have been placed in
the armory here.

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? - - - -

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries Of life, we venture to say:
"The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of its readers.
"The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
The combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"

Bishop Gambler characterizes Mr.

Bucharest, Aug. 7.-Peace has been

the Roumanian premier, president of

threatening that unless Bulgaria &C.
cepted the modified frontier proposed
by the allies, Roumania's army would
occupy Sofia Saturday.
This threat had the desired effect
and an agreement was arrived at aft.
