KRUPP GUN IDEA STOLEN
United States Designed Monster Can
non Which Germans Use.

London A strange report is be-
ing circulated here as to how the
krupps came to build the famous Az
centimeter guns that played havoc
with the French and Belgian fortifi-
cations.
Two and a half years ago, it is said,
an American firm finished the plans
for the construction of these gums.
The designs were sent here to a big
firm of patent agents to be patented.
This firm had in it's employ a clever
young German draughtsman, who re-
signed his place and returned to Ger
many shortly after the American plans
and specifications had been lodged
with his firm. When the German
army turned out its 42-centimeter
guns. his disappearance was under
stood by those Interested
However, it Is said now that the
same American firm has improved and
perfected its former designs and that
several of these improved guns now
are under construction here for the
British siege trains. 1t is said that
the newest United States battleships
are to have guns of the same caliber.

STOCK OWNERS ARE WARNED
ImpOsters Claiming to be Inspectors
Collecting Money.

Reports are now beginning to come
in to the department of agriculture
from several of the states quarantined
for the foot-and-mouth disease that
persons who have no connection what
ever with the department are at
tempting to pass themselves off as
federal inspectors, There are several
possible motives of these imposters.
In the outbreak of 1908 there We're in
stances of men who obtained money
from credulous victims who believed
that in this way they would escape
the Inconvenience OF quarantine and
disinfection. This, of course, very
simple form of extortion. Another
motive may be the sale of some quack
remedy for the disease.
Stock owners can protect themselves
very easily against this fraud, for
there IS no specific remedy for the
foot-and- mouth disease. Since the
germ has never been isolated, it has
never been possible as yet to find any
serum that would act either as a cure
or preventive, and the public may be
quite certain that anyone who says
that he is an employe of the depart-
ment of agriculture and at the same
time attempts to sell or even recon-
mend anything of the sort, is simply an
imposter. For this reason stock own
ers are warned not OF allow strangers
to visit their stock or attempt any
demonstrations Of so-ealled cures by
injections or otherwise.
There is, moreover, very great dam
ger that such people might dissem-
mate the disease. 1t is well known
fact that the germs can be carried ON
clothing. In infected territory, there
fore, it is quite possible that man
who has come in contact with stricken
animals may bring the disease to a per-
fectly healthy herd. This also ac-
counts for much of the spread of hog
cholera.
The department therefore recon-
mends all farmers to keep their ami

But even today the London Gazette is
controlled by the government and a
particularly watchful eye is kept on
the advertisements in its pages which
are regulated by law. These adver-
tisements are mostly of an official or
legal character, of which it is neces-
sary to keep a record and earn for the
nation about 100000 year. No great
manufacturer could obtain puff in it's
pages, even though he were willing to
/ pay $4,000 a line for it. Altogether
the Gazette yields the country a pro-
fit OF about 100000 year, although
practically the only people who buy
1T are government officials and law
yers.
one OF the most curious facts re-
garding the London Gazette is that
while it is Britain's oldest newspaper,
it is also one of the youngest, in the
sense that it was not until 1908 that It
was registered at the general postof-
flee for transmission by inland post as
newspaper. Previously it had been
regarded as a government publication
only, and was dispatched 20. II. M. S.
in this way escaping postal charges
altogether. But apparently the gov
eminent saw way to reap few ex-
ira halfpence by having it registered
The Gazette varies in size very con-
slderably Sometimes it consists mere
ly of one page, and sometimes of be-
tween four and five hundred, but the
price always remains the same, viz
one shilling. There was one memoir
able week in 1877, which was known as
the Railway Year" when so many
parliamentary notices had to be pub
lished that the Gazette for the week
totaled about three thousand pages.
One of the most interesting numbers
of the Gazette ever published was the
Diamond Jubilee" number, the whole
paper being devoted to an official rec
ord of that historic celebration.
As an illustration of the Importance
OF the Gazette in the old days, it might
be mentioned that as recently as the
Crimean war the Gazette was the first
to publish that important item of news
the victory of Alma. At one time the
London newspapers had to wait the
publication OF the Gazette in order to
secure such news of public import
ance as the list of casualties which the
war office in those days sent direct to
Fleet street.
1t is the proud boast of Messrs Har-
r1son, who for more than one hundred
and thirty years published the London
Gazette, that although kings and cab
met ministers contributed to its pages
during the time they published the
paper, and although thousands of en-
ployes were engaged in the work of
producing the Gazette no off ia1
secrets sent to them for publication
have ever leaked out.
The Gazette is probably the only pa
per which returns the original copy to
It's authors along with the proof. This
is done in the case of communications
from sovereigns and cabinet ministers.

which royalty and statesmen had to

Nowadays such announcements

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

On Saturday of next week there
will begin in the Journal an interest
ing contest This contest will be
open to all and will give pleasure and
profit to the contestants and stimulate
business for the merchants of Au-
gusta.
A week from today you will see that
about thirty of the leading merchants
of Augusta have taken space on page
to be conducted by Jenny Wren" who
has written for each rythmic
Jingle. The following Saturday these
Jingles are to be replaced by other
Jingles which will be written by those
who desire to try their skill in this
way. Every Jingle that is accepted
and printed will earn for the writer
Fifty Cents.
ANY one may enter this contest.
The contestants may write as many
Jingles as they wish for each and all
the advertisers. Only one Jingle is to
be written on a sheet and must be
signed with a fictitious name or
initials. The real name of the writer
with address must accompany the
Jingles but is to be written on sep
arate sheet or card.
Each merchant will select from the
Jingies written for him the one he
considers the best and that one will be
printed the following week in his
space. Checks will be 4 mailed the
winners the week following the print
ing of the Jingles.
The contest will continue each Sat
urday from Feb. 21st to April 18th.

well as have a lot of fun.
Look for the Jingle Page a week
from today and see if you cannot
write some winning Jingles. Should
you not get prize the first week try
ing. do not be discouraged, but send

lowing week. 1t is possible for a per-

good Jingle and a winner are good
advertising, rhythm, wit and neatness.
Besides the FiftyCent prizes you
will notice there are to be some final
prizes that will be we'll worth your
effort to strive for. Also there is to

Pure, Rich Blood.
May Be Had by Taking Old Reliable
Hoods SarsapariIIa.

Pure blood enables the stomach,
liver and other digestive organs to do
their work properly. Without 1t they
are sluggish, there is loss of appetite,
sometimes faintness, a deranged state
of the intestines, and, in general, all
the symptoms of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every
organ of the body for the proper per-
formance of it's functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla surely makes
pure blood, and this is why it is so
very successful in the treatment of so
many diseases and ailments. 1t acts
directly on the blood, ridding it of
scrofulous and other humors.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar
combination of blood purifying, nerve
toning, strength giving substances.
