Representative Garner submitted 10
,ne military committee a series of
letters exchanged by himself and Soc
rotary Garrison during the past two
or three weeks. Mr.. Garrison replying
70 question as to how much the "a
men guns OF foreign navies outranged
the IL inch guns of this country's
coast defenses, wrote that foreiya
guns carry at their maximum eleva-
ton $1,000 yards while our ~ inch
guns on their standard carriage carry
1900 yards, but could be mounted
so as to carry a similar distance 10
those OF the foreign guns. IL would
lake ten months TO make the change
out IL would not necessitate any
Nhduke IN lne IOFuucdtlOnE.
The increased range OF the IN inch
guns" wrote the secretary, would
be accomplished by a slight increase
In the capacity OF the chamber. which
the design of the gun admits OF. ana
by providing a slightly. lighter pro-
jectile for the extreme range. No
change of gun carriage is necessary
To obtain this increased range for the
II inch guns"
None In Use Now.
Mr.. Garrison said there were 10 Il
inch guns now in the coast defense
OF the United States proper. but that
four such guns were in process OF
construction for installation ON tho
Pacific coast. He said that there were
no guns OF a larger size, except the
16 Inch guns destined for the Panama
canal. He explained that there were
two IL inch guns already mounted in
the Panama canal fertilization and
eight more in the course OF being
mounted"
Chairman Hay remarked to DIR.
Gardner during the hearing today
that the British army reserve. when
the European war broke out did no,
amount to a row of pins" and that
IL was impracticable TO get a reserve
except In countries where there Is A
compulsory military service. AS a
matter OF history" added Mr. Hay.
both the federal and confederate
governments had TO resort to con-
scription."

While Admiral Fletcher reported
me same day from New York that h
knew OF no lack OF coordination A,
the present time and believed ~tha,
tho present coordination meets with
the war colleges full approval" Ad
mirai Knight made this statement:

The war college believes that lack

the college docs not regard this as a
new situation. although IL happens al

Admiral knight cited the diversion
OF oattleships and torpedo craft to
uses widely different from that for
which they exist. with resulting inter
ruption OF PREPARATION for battle and
the breaking down OF efficiency. He
said this was in many cases the result
OF lack OF cruisers and slnboats.

Uncle Sam Going Ont.

Uncle Sam is gradually going
out of the rum business. Under
the wave of statewide prohibi-
ton and local option which is
sweeping from coast to coast, sta
tistics from Washington indicate
a falling off OF $40, 600, 900 in fed
eral revenues from liquor during
the present fiscal year.
Liquor men, who have been
putting on a bold front and issu-
ing highly-colored tales of how
prohibition does not prohibit, !"
are discredited by Uncle Sans
own figures. Their hectic asser-
tions that liquor consumption per
capita in the United States, with
-fourths Of the national ter
ritory already dry, is on the in
crease, become "fallacies" in the
face of the facts"
Even Pennsylvania, one of
runs last strongholds in the I'm
ion, got rid of 351 saloons during
the year.

Buy Lime This Year.

Owing to the impossibility of
getting potash in sufficient guam
titles from Germany, the price
has scared until it is now out of
reach for fertilizing purposes.
We think it would be wise there
fore, to use the money that would
otherwise have been spent for
potash, to buy lime. There is
more or less native potash in all
soils, but it is not always avail
able-locked up in combination
with the soil. Lime helps to
liberate it. The lime will not
hurt any thing fact is, nearly
all of our fields need it, whether
we buy or do not buy potash.
Lime makes clover, clover makes
rich soil and rich soil makes all
crops good.

Some Queer "DOin'S."

The following letter was re-
ceived at this Office last week:
"The farmers of Pleasant Ridge
are becoming interested concern
ing private examinations of hors-
es that have been made at GER
tain stables. Also, samples of
milk have been obtained from
cows at pasture by parties who
shun the owners at that time.
These we may call inspectors; but
if inspectors of this type would
be examined by the State board
of examiners we presume they
would fall short and be found
lacking. We think it would be
best for inspectors to get per-
mission or to make themselves
known as we have trespass laws
in Pennsylvania.

Starye the HeSSiam Fly.

Those interested in the control
of the Hessian fly can get all the
latest methods by sending a post
al to the Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., and
ask for it. The act of starving
out the fly puts the ground in the
best of condition for following
crops. The Departments Week
ly News Letter fully explains the
several stages through which the
fly passes, and tells when it can
be destroyed. A complete dia-
gram of the different stages ac-
companies the bulletin. Send for
the bulletin at once or it will be
too late for use this season.

Homemade Dryers.

A writer in the Oklahoma Farm
Journal gives the following de-
scription of the way peaches are
dried in the great peach districts
of New York where most of the
dried peaches in the United
States come from. Any carpen-
ter can build these efficient dry
ers-or evaporators. They are
simply little square buildings
built over pit-or little cellar
large enough to hold a stove.
Usually, the building is eight
feet square, inside measurement,
and made without floor as no one
ever enters the building, couldn't
if he wanted to. The little build
ing is filled with trays made with
wooden sides and wire mesh bot
toms, two tiers of trays to each
of the two opposite sides of the
building. These trays it will be
readily seen, are just four feet
square and are pushed in from
outside of building. The trays
must be kept about six inches
apart up and down. The outer
side of the trays must either fill
all space like bureau drawers, or
doors must be made to keep the
heat in, and the rain, dust, and
light, out. Suppose you have six
trays to a tier-two tiers to a
side-it will be seen that twenty
four trays just fill the evaporator
Half peaches are laid in the trays
a fire started in the stove down
in the pit, and the heated air
passes up through the trays and
out through a ventilator in the
comb of the roof. The pipe from
the stove passes outside of the
pit to any point desired as smoke
must not enter the drying depart
ment. The drying fruit must
not be exposed to the air and
light as that is what discolors
home dried peaches. From time
to time the trays nearest the fire
are shifted to the top so as to
bring to all equal advantages.
This office has had requests for
the address of makers of dryers
or evaporators as usually called,
indicating interest in the bust
ness of evaporating fruit, but
since these wooden evaporators
are doing good service elsewhere
and can be so cheaply made at
home, we can see no reason why
our Fulton county readers could
not make them and save thou
sands of bushels of fruit that is
said to be going to waste every
season. Berries and other fruit
could be dried in them.

A Chance for You.

ourselves at the same time. We
are going to educate you up tc
the value of using the classified
department of THE News. Have
you any idea of the money you
could make if you were to let all
the people in this county know
what you had for sale? Do you
know that no matter how appa-
rently useless some article has
grown, some other person has a
use for that article and will buy
it?
But he cannot buy it if he does
not know where to get it. In
the big cities the classified de-
partments of the newspapers are
as interesting as the news COL
umns. In fact they contain real
live news. And those who use
them are reaping great advanta-
ges-both the buyers and the sell
lers.
Of late the smaller papers are
pushing their classified depart
ments into more prominen e.
The other day we picked up a
weekly, published in a county
seat town in Wisconsin. Its class
flied column was "A Wonder. 1"
Apparently everyone in the coun-
ty was using and reading it.
Lack of space prevents US from
reproducing it, althoughw we would
like to do so. But here are a few
of the things that were advertis-
ed for sale by the farmers and
the townspeople: Houses, lots,
farms, glass cupboard, chickens,
sewing machine, turkeys, rugs,
eggs, upholstered goods, crock
cry, geese, butter, correspon-
dence school course, cheese, feath-
ers, manure, incubator, horses,
finger ring, automobile, jars of
fruit, fence posts, hogs, (plain
and fancy embroidery lessons,
suit of clothes and a fur overcoat,
home made bread, a colt, library
of 100 volumes, home knit socks,
cream separator, two calves, con-
crete block machine, tame bear,
gasoline engine, heating stove,
hay, rag carpets, home cured
hams and bacon, wind mill, gen.
eral store, soy beans, alfalfa meal,
desk and chair, typewriter, cabi-
net organ, short horn bull, bird
dog, hay stacker, five tons of
coal and gun.
Perhaps you want to buy a Sec
ond hand gun, sewing machine,
mower, or any other article; per-
you have something you would
like to trade for something else,
let it be know through the News
for it is read by more than three
times as many people as any 9th
er paper in the County. 1t
doesn't cost much only a cent a
word for one time, and one time
generally does the business. If
you send in by mail, count every
word including initials that will
appear in the advertisement, and
send along as many cents in pos
tage stamps as there are words
and we will do the rest.
