WAREHOUSE BURNS


About $50 Bales arc Destroyed by Fire
at acknowledgements Is $21 900.
Barnwell. Nov. 3.-Fire was discov-
cred In the emergency warehouse Of
the Farmers Union Warehouse COM
pany about 8 o'clock and alNicst be-
fore the alarm could be given had
spread like a flash of gunpowder over
the contents and in a few moments 1t
was a roaring mass of flames. About
$50 bales Of cotton were stored in the
emergency warehouse which is To-
Gated on the Aldrich property on East
Main street and some GO or 20 more
were scattered about the grounds.
A number Of burning bales were
pulled from the warehouse by means
of a hook and a piece of rope and the
fire extinguished. This method is still
being followed, and 1t is hoped TO sal
wage several score bales in this man
ner.
The origin of the fire Is unknown
but Is thought to have started from
spontaneous combustion. The man
ager has been very careful not to
store any cotton in the warehouse un-
I'll 1t had Ian on the ground a day
or two.
The structure was merely shed
covered with tin so the loss of the
building will not amount to much.
Insurance to the amount Of $4,000
was carried on the cotton.

WAR AND CANADA.
Cost to The Dominion of tho Conflict
In Europe.

(From the Wall Street Journal.)
In the enthusiasrO with which Cana
da has come to the aid Of the mother
country in this time Of war stress,
probably few Of her patriotic citizens
have stopped to count the cost to their
land. With that lavishness common
to a new country Of boundless, if un-
tested, resources. where frugality is a
crime. Canada is paying the men VOL
unteering for the military service the
sum Of 81 day. She has already
proposed to raise. furnish and equip
$4,000 men. The pay alone OF these
men means $55.0CO a day, not allow
ing for the higher pay for the officers.
For a month of 80 days that runs up
to $1,65O.000. A years service-and
there are many opinions that several
years Of war are ahead of the allies
would count the cost of that small
army up to $2O,O0O.OOO
The probability is that a protracted
war will see efforts to place a quar-
ter Of a million Canadian troops on
the firing line. In that event the pay
roll of his army will be staggering.
Then Canada's troops are armed with
the Ross rifle, Canadian weapon,
placing upon that country the re-
sponsibility of supplying every car
fridge fired by her men. t'hat will
mean a great expense in manufacture
and transportation.
In addition the Dominion has al
ready furnished $4,000 900 worth Of
flour to Great Britain. and has voted
$4,000 for the relief OF the Belgian
sufferers. The provinces. too, are
making their little contribution to the
cause in coal. horses. feed and food
supplies. Her citizens are donating to
Red Cross and other funds. Coun-
ties. cities and towns are contribute
ing individual amounts i'm cquipping
troops. providing for the families Of
men going To the front, and furnish
ing comforts To the troops that the
war department cannot undertake. to
supply. Above all is the loss Of her
young manhood, whose toll is from
almost every hamlet. For u scrap of
paper, assurcdly Canada is nobly set
ting out to do her part

PEANUT FARM MONEY MAKER.
In Oklahoma 100 Bushels To The
Acre arc Grown.
(Oklahoma City correspondence to
New York WOrldD

New York World)
Although planting of peanuts has
been delayed to some extent by the
heavy rains, the reports that are re-
ceived from many sections of the
State, where peanuts are being grown,
are highly encouraging, and it is en-
pected that the total yield this year
will be greater than that of last year
by half.
The soil throughout the State is in
such excellent condition that there
will be a great amount of late plant
Ing, which will make splendid yields
and in sections of the state where cot
ton and other crops have been serious
ly damaged by the heavy rains and
where replanting of those crops is
likely to prove Il losing venture, it has
been suggested that peanuts be plant
ed, as they will thrive in weather con-
ditions that would prove detrimental
to other crops.
TO encourage the late planting of
peanuts the price of seed peanuts on
the local market has been reduced
from $3.50 for a bushel of 80 pounds
to $3.50. There are plenty of good
seed peanuts available on the local
market, and peanuts can be planted
any time, with the assurance of a
good yield.
For the last 10 years the average
has been 50 to 40 bushels an acre
and in some sections there has been
a yield of 100 bushels an acre. Not
only is peanuts one Of the safest crops
that can be planted in the State, but
it carries q great advantage Of being
one Of the surest feed crops, as over
a ton Of peanut hay can be realized
from an acre Of peanuts, and this hay
has the same value as alfalfa for
feed, according to enthusiasts of the
crop.
The food value Of Oklahoma grown
PCdHulS ID IluCH greater lfl1n tnOSC
grown in other parts of the country
owing to the soil being adapted fol
the culture of peanuts, and the excel
lent climatic conditions
There can be found in Oklahoma
City a market for every bushel of pea
nuts raised in the State, and last sum
mer manufacturers Of peanut pro
ducts were compelled to go outside OF
the State to obtain a supply of pea
nuts sufficient to keep factories in op-
GRAFTON.
The price paid last year for good
quality peanuts averaged 81 bush
Ell. and it is reasonably safe to eX-
rect q price from 80 cents to $1.1O
h"shel this fall, with market for
the entire yield in Oklahoma City.

Scientific American.
The question of subsistence is a
N'lai one To an army, and many bat
ties have been lost f..Om the failure
of food supplies. The commissary de-
partment of armies i'm all civilized
countries is in the hands of men who
are in reality dietetic specialists on a
large scale. The present war is the
supreme test for the uuartcrmastcr's
department.
"l;ations,' us the daily food supply
Of the soldier is known, vary in each
country according to racial tastes or
climatic conditions. Thus the meat
ration of France is quite different
from that of Germany. For the pur-'
pose Of comparison we have taken the
daily field ration of the German army.
which is as follows:
Seven hundred and fifty grams of
fresh bread. or 500 grams of bis
cult.
Three hundred and seventy-iive
grams Of raw meat (fresh or saltedD.
or 200 grams of smoked beef. pork,
mutton, bacon or meat sausage.
One hundred and twenty-five
grams of rice (groats). or $50 grams
of pulse or flour, or 1000 grams of
potatoes.
TWENTY-FIVE grams of Golf
twenty-five grams Of coffee (roast-
eO, or 80 grams Of coffee (green)
or J grams of tea and II grams Of
sugar.
We have shown this supply for a
week compared with the huge mass
Of Cologne Cathedral. The result is
very surprising, for we have loaf of
bread weighing 6O,13O,OOO pounds and
1898 feet high, which bulks we'll along
side the lofty edifice. Meat is repre-
sented by side of bacon. but in
practice this might be varied by
sausage. smoked beef, fresh, salt
meat or mutton. The bacon is 1SO
feet long and would weigh 5000, 600
pounds. Potatoes are the heaviest
item, weighing 12O,33O,OOO pounds
The bag would be two feet less in
length, while the sugar bag would
measure So feet high and would
weigh 1,365,O0 pounds. Such amounts
Of food seem almost incredible.
or course, the figures given are for
the standard ration, which is probably
very different thing from that ac-
tually being consumed along the
great battle formation, for there is
great fleXibility as to the food to be
used. 1t is possible that pemmican
"a condensed meat product) has en-
tered into the ration very largely,
but we will not get much accurate
information until the close of the war.
The Kaiser has always expressed a
lively interest in the soldiers food,
and he has not infrequently ridden up
to the field bakeries and sampled the
product OF their ovens.
Some idea of the enormous expense
Of the war will be gained when it is
stated that the daily cost of provis-
ions for the combined armies would
be $12,50O,O0O, without the expense
OF transportation, which would he
$4,200,O0O more each day. These fig
,,;. nf
prices OF some years ago. so that 10
per cent. could be added to the cost
Of the food, making the cost SIS, ,750,-
600, or $22,95O,0OO delivered" at the
place Of consumption. This is truly
an enormous daily bill OF the war
