GERMANY'S MACHINE GUNS
kaIser's Army Had Stock Of Fifty
Thousand Of Them When tho
War Began.

British Headquarters, France.--It is
almost impossible to exaggerate the
importance Of the German strength In
machine guns. which they use with
the greatest skill and courage.
They had a stock of $4,000 on hand
at the beginning of the war, and have
been keeping this supply replenished
constantly from their arms factories
A favorite trick is to leave a ma.
chine gun or two hidden In a cellar
or similar place of concealment until
the enemy's advance has swept by and
then open fire on the rear. The post
OF the men serving the gun Is. Of
course. hopeless, but they are fairly
certain to sell their lives dearly, con.
tinuing to fire their gun to the last.
AS an instance of the deadly swift.
ness of machine-gun fire, 1t is stated
that a man coming under the fire OF
one of these weapons and shot
through the head can be struck yet ten
times more In the second or two that
he takes to fall to the ground.

BIG FURNITURE STORE NEEDS MORE ROOM.

One sign of the good times that are coming when the fall crops are harvested is the spreading out of one of the big Main street stores, the Jackson Strawn Furniture Go, which has just leased the salesroom ad- joining the company's store at 6l7 Main street, giving the firm two big ground floor fronts in the handsome Hollenberg build ing. The partition already has been removed, and workmen are remodeling the interior to make room for an immense stock re- gently purchased by Mr. Jack son and MT. Strawn on their an- nual tour of the furniture man. ufacturing centers of the North and East.
 Pulaski Heights folks are rather partial to this company, because both MT. Jackson and MT. Strawn have homes here, and Pulaski county citizens are used to trading there, knowing MT. Jackson to be one of the most successful planters and stock growers in the county.
 This firm has grown in few years from a small store on Gen. ter street, despite the losses from two great fires in the Hol- lenberg block, neither of which originated in their buildings. They have made speciality of high grade goods at reasonable prices, and have all the time en- joyed the public's liberal patron age. While other firms are re- trenching by reducing both their stock and their help, Jackson & Strawn find it necessary to en- large their facilities and employ more help.
 Rare bargains are being of fered, not only in staple articles, but in many new designs of fur niture and household equipment. One reason for the very low prices is that the company has been able to buy it's new goods at a close figure for cash.
 Pay this store visit and you will forget the talk about hard times. The special alteration sale opened Monday, and every days since the store has been crowded with customers.

RED ROT IN SEED CANE.

When the sugar cane growers exam ined their banks of seed cane early last March in Grady County, Georgia, they found about one-half of the cane dead. Similar losses occurred during the winter of 1913-1914. This presenis a ser.ous problem, for in the southern part of the United States it Is a com. mon practice to store in soil beds du' ing the winter, i. e., to "bank's ' tha sdgar cane to be used for planning the following season. A specialist Of the department found that the badly dam. aged canes were invariably affected primarily with fungous disease, red rot. Examination of the cane showed that the rot usually began about the nodes and that frequently the eyes were apparently dead the stalks still retaining their normal color inside Often there were brown, water soaked spots at the nodes at or near the points from which the roots of the new plants emerge. Occasionally 1t appeared as though the rot had proceeded from the leaf sheaths into the node.

To correct the effect of this yearly change, notifications of the actual monthly averages have been made and shown by the light line in the chart, as in the case of cattle prices.
 The course of prices of sheep and lambs is regular, the low point being usually in November, the high point in April. The range of sheep prices is from $40 per 100 pounds, the five year average on November Is to $507, the hve-year average on April Is, an increase of 8l cents per 100 pounds, or l9 per cent.

LITTLE THINGS IN PRESERVING.

|
 Every littie helps in preserving, as i'll all else, and stopping the waste places helps the larder as we'll as the poeketbook.
 A good supply of jams, jellies and spieed fruit can be kept on hand by using the small amounts of fruit which are not worth sending to market, or taIlsing much time to preserve, but which often can be cooked while get ting meal.
 When q jelly glass is empty, wash it, and the paraffin, and put them away Then when some fruit is left over, cook it, fill the glass, melt the paraffin and pour it over. Even the loose grapes which fall off the branches and are not fit to put on the table might make a glass of marmalade, ol of spiced syrup that is left when the piekled peaches are taken out of it
 an have some quartered apples or gears stewed in it, and served again as relish with meats.
 A few apples, even imperfect ones, cut up, leaving the skin on, and the sound cores, stewed with little water, then turned into clean salt bag and hung to drain over night, may make enough juice for a glass or two of ap- pie jelly, if boiled up few minutes with half it's amount of sugar.
 Variety in meals is essential to their proper digestion and assimilation, and can be provided by making use of the different materials at hand and not wasting anything
