Resolutions OF Respect

Whereas, Evening Shade Lodge
No. 299 of the independent Order
of Odd Fellows has been called up
on to perform the last services tie
order can render to the dead:
Therefore, be it resolved by the
members of this lodge that in the
death of Brother James W.. Young
we have lost a member who both
knew and loved the principles Of
Odd Fellowship and appreciated its
benevolence. He was proficient in
the duties of the various stations
that he filled and gladly performed
all duties assigned to him. He was
for many months prevented by
sickness from attending the lodge
meetings. He was a hard laD0rer
at his trade; was devoted to MS
family and will be sadly missed in
his home and in the community.
Be it further resolved, that a
copy of these resolutions be fur
nished the bereaved family; that a
copy be given to the Sharp County
Record for publication, and that the
same be written in the journal of
this lodge.

COST OF NAVAL WARFARE

When the big naval battle of the
European war does take place, there
will be more money blown up in a
short time than ever before. There
already has been heavy fighting be-
tween hostile warships and between
warships and coast defenses, includ-
ing the demonstration Of the English
and allied ships against the Dar-
danelles, but the big fight is still
ahead.
1t costs England close to $4,000
every time she fires one of the big
guns of her superdreadnoughts. The
figure is much above normal because
of increased price England is paying
for shells and powder in this country.
Private manufacturers of munitions
of war in this country are understood
to be charging British war office
about $500 for the 15-inch lyddite
shell used in her big naval guns.
That is far above the price at which
shells can be made by government
works. High price is due. Of course.
to urgency or demand and necessity
of increased expenditure by private
manufacturers in the United States to
get their plants in shape to handle
war orders.
