Submarines and AeroplaneS
Star Actors,

The big guns and the gas bombs have
been in the spotlight at intervals, but
submarines and air craft are unmis-
takably the star actors in the present
war. For the first time each has a
record of really practical work and
valuable results. In the air, the aero
plane is acknowledged to be the real
dependence. Ae predicted in these
pages a pear before the war, the dir
igible as a war weapon can be counted
a failure. True, a rev trips have been
made in good weather, crossing the
English Channel, and dropping a few
bombs, which have in the whole years

these mostly women and children. For
a large feet, each vessel of which cost
$500, 900 or over, this cannot be consid-
cred much in the way of result. No
battle has been won or even affected by
use of a dirigible. 1t has unquestion-
ably been an awful nightmare to the
British, but when the worst it has done
and all it has accomplished are summed
up, the dirigible to date must be de-
clared more a menace than a real dan
der, and largely a fiasco. In fact, every
German dirigible which has crossed in

PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE

President Wilson's message to Congress upon its assembling
tuesday was an excellent document from the view point of those
interested in the highest und best welfare of the government as well
He represented the matter of preparedness in a common-sense,
practical manner. There was none of the scare-hke spirit or OF the
rush to arms bravado, in what he said. He showed that he had
studied the subject in all its bearings and, applying that knowledge
that comes OF observing the war conditions of Europe, that he tet

that confront them with the very small army and insufficient navy
We have.
His presentation of the financial status OF the treasury was graf

The President literally took a Ratchet and trimmed the ribs from

Who have for the past ten months been doing their best to under

"a small service to one of the warning nations across the Ocean. He
did no less carving upon those who were born in this country

The lOCkett Lumber Go.

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
ad of the Lockett Lumber Co. of this
city. This concern needs no introduc-
ton to the people of this territory. 1t
has been in operation in Grenada about
s years and the very best evidence that
it has pleased those who have dealt
with it is the fact that it's business has
increased at a big ratio each year.
MIR. c. E. LocKett, the owner and
manager Of the company, is one of the
county's best and most dependable
citizens. He is clever and obliging and
1t gives him genuine satisfaction to do
a kind deed for anybody. He stands

Already means have been devised which

with one-pounders, when they show

HOW ABOUT THOSE BONDS?

: Chicago Utilities Co. bonds, which
were selling at 9 cents on the dollar
a few weeks ago, have advanced to
25. The reason is, some say, that
politicians are buying the bonds
heavily.
If politicians are investing in these
bonds, then it is a safe bet that it is
cut and dried for city council to pass
the ordinance authorizing the sale of
the automatic phone company to the
Bell telephone trust. Such a sale
would send Chicago Utilities bonds
up to IS or 80 it is said, which would
be 1000 per cent advance in price.
This would make nice picking for
someone who had an iHide tip.
