BERLIN. Jan. %, via London, IL:
a. m.-Remarkable figures regarding

by a German artillery expert, writ
ing In the "Artilleristische Monats
Hefte."
In discussing an assertion by the
London Times that the German navy
possesses a gun which carries three
miles further than the best British
weapon, the writer admits that the
Krupps are manufacturing a gun
whose projectile weighs 920 kilograms
(about a toni, and which develops
muzzle velocity OF $40 metres about
$500 feet a second. The expert reck-
ons from these figures that the gun
has 5S per cent. more muZzle force
than the British navy's best weapon,
and has g. range of about forty-two
kilometres (about twenty-eight miles),
while the channel at Dover is only
! thirty-three kilometres (about twen-

enthusiasm among the British pnh.-r
than either the fight or HeiIgoians
or off the Falkland Islands, although
both OF these engagements. perhaps

OF yesterday means the triumph or

Sir David Beatty, the youngest ad-
miral in the British navy, has be-
come the most popular hero OF the
war.
The German official report on Sun
days fight admits the sinking Of ths
cruiser Bleucher, but offsets this loss
with the assertion, according to in
formation available, one British bas-
tie cruiser was sunk" This state
ment has been directly denied by the
British admiralty, which says clear

hes Weaver Not bead
Is Wounded

Some weeks ago the Banner
published a dispatch to the effect
that Rex Weaver, son of Rev. w.
X. Weaver, formerly of this city,
had met his death in the European
war, where he was fighting in
the English army, having joined
the Canadian forces. Mrs. Thos.
Williamson wrote to Mrs.
Weaver at Douglass, Wyo.,
where the family now resides,
and where Rev. Weaver has a
charge, expressing the sympathy
of friends here. Mr.. Weaver has
replied that after a long delay
they had finally received a
cablegran which stated that their
son Rex was not killed as report
ed but was badly wounded and
was at present in a hospital re-
covering. The shock of the item
which appeared in the Chicago
and Canadian paper was a severe
one to the family who were over
joyed to hear the better news that
followed. They have reasons to
hope for the recovery of their son,
whohas escaped some of the later
big battles from the fact that
he was in the hospital. He will
probably be sent home. Frank
Weaver, another son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Weaver, is quite sick at
their home in Wyoming of lung
trouble.
Frank Weaver has been the
United States navy as a lieuten-
ant, but contracted lung trouble
while in the service. 1t is said
his parents moved to the West
in the hope that the climate there
would benefit him. -Greencastle

Cost of Living Is
Higher Than Ever
In The u. S.

Washington, June 2S-The
cost of living is higher than ever
before in the United States, as
far as government statistics show
and is increasing each year.
In 1914 the years cost of fill
ing market basket of the averge
workingman's family was $6.68
higher than it was in 1918, and
$50. 43 higher than it was in 1907,
computing on relative figures
announced today by the federal
bureau of labor statistics as a
result of its most recent inves-
tigation of retail prices. These
figures represent prices of fifteen
articles aggregating approximate
ly two-thirds of the expendi-
ture for food by the average
workingman's family. The cost
of these articles in 1918 was
$3.50. 80, making the 1914 cost
$340.58, while in 1907 it was
$280.15. Calculating the amounts
as two-thirds of the working
mans family fond expenditure,
the total spent for food in these
years would be: 1913, $500. 85;
1914, $51O.8O, and 1907, $4,000.
The bureaus investigation
covered forty-four important
Industrial cities, representing
SO states. It showed retail food
prices in the period 1907 to 1913
reached the. highest point 1914,
while the lowest price was in
1907.
This however, is not true of
each article. Flour, for instance,
was 5.3 per cent higher in 1909
than in 1914, Sugar, which reach
ed a remarkable high point, 1853
per cent in August, 1914, was
70 per cent lower for the year
1914 than for the year 1911, and
was also lower for year 1914
than for the years 1910 and 1912.
All meats were higher in 1914
than in any of the seven preced-
ing years.
The figures show that the +
highest point during 1914 was
reached in September, when the
price of all food was'7.1 per cent
higher than the average price for
1913, and the lowest point was
reached in April, when the price
wa4 3.5 per cent lower than the
average price for 1918. Except
for lard and such articles as are
affected by seasonal changes, the
highest price during the year was
either in August or September.

tuberculosis Leads in
Mortality in Tennessee

DR.. H. H. Shoulders, of Nash
vile, registrar of vital statistics
for the state board of health, has
issued a tabulated statement CIV
ing fourteen causes of deaths in
the state for the months of jan
uary, February and March this
year. The table is prepared by
counties, with the four larger
cities separately arranged.
Outside of the four cities of
Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville
and Chattanooga there were, in
three months, 942 deaths from
tuberculosis, 879 from pneumo-
MIA and 107 from cancer, these
being the diseases leading in the
mortality list. In the four large
cities the comparison is interest
ing. Knoxville had q deaths
from tuberculosis, Chattanooga
20, Nashville 63 and Memphis
100. Knoxville's death list from
pneumonia was "a, Chattanooga
"a, Nashville 100 and Memphis
los.
Commenting on the tabulation,
the registrar asserts that a total
of s, 365 deaths occurred in the
three months and that 2,340 of
these were preventable or rela- |
lively so.

Running a farm, from the
very nature of the case, is not
so easily systematized as the
business of running a railroad
or a factory. Operation of the
latter usually goes rain or shine;
while many jobs about the farm
can only be done when weather
conditions are right. But even so,
we are certain that comparatively
few farms having work organized
and planned the most effective
work.
AS an illustration, how many
thousands of acres of oats and
clovers were killed last winter
because of having been sown too
late? How many thousands of
acres of crimson clover were not
inoculated and failed as conse-
quence, Notwithstanding that
the fact that crimson clover
uninoculated usually fails as
had been repeatedly and insis-
tently pointed out? How many
thousands of fields of oats are
injured by smut, when an mex
pensive treatment would have
entirely prevented the loss?
