FEED COTTON
SEED MEAL TO
BEEF CATTLE
U. S. Experts Believe
That the Farmer Has
Best Chance in Years
To Make Money by
Raising Cattle for the
Market.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Because of the
abundant supply of cottonseed meal
that there is likely to be in this coun-
try this year. specialists in the depart
ment believe that the farmer has a
better opportunity to make money by
feeding beef cattle than for some years
past The feeding value of cottonseed
meal has been recognized by agricul-
tural authorities for some time and
large quantities of it are exported an
nually to Europe where the farmers,
especially those in Denmark, are also
aware of it's usefulness. 1t now seems
likely that the price of cottonseed
meal will continue to be considerab bly,
lower than in recent years and the
American farmer should therefore
utilize it to advantage to make cheap
gains.
Two causes combine to lower the
price of cottonseed by-products. In
the first place the cotton crop in the
South this year is good. and in the
next the foreign markets have been
seriously interfered with by the Euro
pean war. 1t is estimated that this
year 100000 bales of cotton will be
produced in the United States. This
should yield 6,6S0,000 tons of seed All
of this, of course, will not be crushed,
but If last years proportions hold
good again about 100000 tons Of
cottonseed meal will be available.
Last year approximately 100000 tons
were sent abroad. Under present

THOUSANDS OF
ITALIANS CIV e
UP EATING MEAT

New York, Oct. 9.-That hundreds of
thousands of people in Italy have given
up eating meat because they cannot
afford to buy it, is declared by DR..
Walling Clark of the Methodist Epis-
copal Mission in Rome, who has just
reached the United States.
In spite of Italy's neutrality in the
European war" says DR.. Clark,
commercial and industrial activities
throughout the land are paralyzed.
Factories are closed. Printing houses
have reduced their force by one-half.
This means that vast numbers of men
have been thrown out of employment.
For few months these out-of- works
can get along by relying upon their
savings. But the outlook for the com
ing winter is most distressing.
Moreover, many thousands of Ital-
Ions are returning to their native land
from Austria. Germany, Switzerland,
Belgium, France, England and South
America. AS yet comparatively few
have come back from the United
States. These men are absolutely
without means of support and must
look for charity for their daily bread"

Today the United States Naval
Academy is called the largest and
most efficient naval training
school in the world. More than
1000 midshipmen have mastered
its advanced and rigid curriculum
and have received commissions as
officers in the United States Navy.
Many have wop distinguished
honors in the service of the coun-
try; many others have returned
to private life after graduation
and won eminence in industry.
Today there are nearly 900 poten-
tial admirals studying naval war
fare at Annapolis under the
guidance Of a faculty numbering
about 120 naval officers and
civilians. Ten years ago the
Naval Academy was rejuvenated.
Congress. probably flushed by the
brilliant success of the Navy in
the Spanish-American War, ap-
propriated s10.000.000 for the con-
struction of a new set of build
ings to replace those Anticipated
structures that had served for
more than half century. To-
day the Naval Academy includes
the most magnificent group of
buildings in the world devoted to
such purpose. While extremely
modern in it's exterior aspect, the
honorable career of the Academy
and the Navy is told by the many
relics there deposited. Chief
among the collection of historic
flags is Commodore Perry's bear
ing the legend. Don't give up the
ship" In the beautiful chapel lie
the remains of John Paul Jones
which were found after long
search buried in Paris. The
memories of many naval heroes
and deeds are perpetuated in
statuary. Historic cannon dot
the campus.

BATTLE SHOOT
ING FOR c.. A. c..
PICKED MEN

Battle shooting, with all details, as
near those met in actual warfare as
possible, will be participated in by the
best riflemen from all three of the
local Coast Artillery companies at the
State range in Auburn next Sunday.
Sergt E. O. Squires, U. S. A, in
structor to the local companies, has
had the planning of it and promises
a novel event. 1t is expected that at
least 20 men from each of the three
companies will take part.
In the first place the riflemen will
take their places at the line of fire,
with a goodly amount of ammunition
in their cartridge belts. 1t will be as
sumed that these fixed lines of fire
at the range are entertainments
thrown up by a defensive force.
No targets will be in sight but sud-
denly they will begin to appear, first
here and then in another place, at no
time remaining i'll view for any long
er time than a wise enemy would ex-
pose his body to fire. All will be the
man-shaped silhouette targets, max
ing the game more realistic.
Not all the targets will be in a
position behind a pit. When the men
on the line least expect it line of
targets will scamper across the field
of fire as if the enemy were throwing
out a skirmish line to advance. The
game is bound to keep the boys guess
ing but it will mean that they are
getting practice of exceeding value
to a soldier. They will have to be on
the alert every second to make a
score that will count. Many shots on
the same target would mean little for
it is unnecessary to kill one of the
enemy more than once.
Capt H. M. Merriam, U. S. A, in
experimentation to the Coast Artil-
lery Corps, N. G. S. NJ, is expected
to be on hand to witness the contest.

Then

Sixty-nine years ago today
the United States Naval Academy
was opened at Annapolis. The
event marked the beginning of a
new era in the United States
Navy The Naval School," as
the institution was first desig

doned army post, Fort Severn.
Its founder was George Bancroft,
historian and Secretary of the
Navy. who had yainly appealed to
Congress for money with which to
establish Il school for the in
struction of midshipmen in the
arts of Naval warfare. Congress
believed that the old time meth
DDS of training future admirals
were good enough. In those days
aspirants for naval commissions
were simply taken aboard the
wooden warships and taught sea-
manship by actual experience.

history and geography. The
first step forward came when
midshipmen ashore were ordered
to report to the Naval Asylum at
Philadelphia TO study under the
governor and several assistant
professors. The second and
greatest step forward came when
the Secretary of War turned Fort
Severn over to the Navy for a
naval training school. The first
class consisted of f1fty-six mid
shipmen transferred from cruis-
ing ships. The first superin-
tendent was Franklin Buchanan
who eighteen years later during
the Civil War was to fight for the
Confederacy against Admiral
Farragut 1T Mobile Bay. During
this war the Naval Academy was

of cream of tartar and soda for
quick baking you will find it profit
able, because of the increasingly
high price of cream of tartar, to use
Royal Baking Powder instead.
It will pay you to do this because
the price of Royal, which is made
from highly refined cream of tartar,
has not been changed, and because
you will find it in every way more
