Million Men In Field.

Turkey today is better prepared
than ever. She has 1.250,000 of we'll
trained men, in addition to several
hundred thousand reserves. for any
emergency. AS the entente powers are
interested politically in exaggerating
news the destruction of the outer forts
at Sedd -el-Bahr and Kun -kaleh. which
was only one favorable to them, was
made to appear a great victory.
How little Constantinople was
alarmed by these attacks may be seen
from the fact that the sultan remained
in his palace a short distance from the
sea Nor did the attacks have the least
effect upon the population"
Cannot Predict Outcome.
LONDON. April s."How the great fight
between the allied fleet and the land bat
teries will end cannot be predicted at
mistc prophecies have been silenoed .
Thus speaks Field Marshal Won der Goltz.
the German commander in Turkey, in a
letter to the Vienna Neue Freie Presse,
a copy of which has been received here,
concerning the Dardanelles and the situa :
iion in Turkey generally.
"All preparations for the prosecution OF
the war" the letter continues, were car
ried out as fully as the means at our dis
posai would permit. Turkey is cut off
and must rely on her own resources.
Perhaps the largest number Of men the
Ottoman empire ever called up have been
brought to the colors

CHRISTMAS
Trees Can Be Made Less Dan

triCity in Lighting.

Christmas trees and other holiday
decorations are usually fimsy and In
flammable, and the practice Of pre-
vious years Of lighting the trees with
the wax candles was an open invita-
tion to disaster. lit X a a
Now, thanks to- electric lighting,
says the Society for Electrical Deyel-
iopment, New York, decorative outfits
are available for the adornment Of the
trees that are danger free. They
please the kiddies, while afforaing
genuine relief OF mind to the grown
ups.
During the celebrations OF electrical
prosperity week, November 80 to De-
:cember 4, the public will be able to
obtain, 1t is said, decorative lighting
outfits consisting Of a number of small
incandescent lamp bulbs made in the
form Of birds, nuts. fruits, toys, ami
mails, snow men and Santa Claus. The
bulbs are attached to insulated wires
covered with green braid. so that the
entire outfit resembles a vine. This
may be easily festooned among the
branches of the tree. the wire deity
hidden and only the small safe lamps
showing. Any convenient lamp socket
furnishes a suitable connection, and
the lighting Of the lamps produces a
very Beautiful effect.

during Prosperity Week,
According to Plans.

During thes electrical prosperity

American house wives will have an UNI

with modern electrical equipment.
According to plans of the Society
for Electrical sDevelo pment, special
sales will be held, which It will pay

out that the American kitchen needs

they cost mos In answer to this,
electrical experts say the appliances
last longer; they are portable, quick
" available, require no matches, and
they offer Immunity from fire risks.
While the first cost may seem exces-
sive, 1t is said, the efficiency and prac-
ticability are assured in good de-
vice.
It is claimed that electric heaters
continue to do efficient work for some
minutes after the current is turned
of. Many Of the appliances are not
used for more than an hour at a time
and the prime economic advantage Of
all electrical devices is that when
they are idle the hands OF the meter
halt. "A 80
The Society for Electrical Develop
ment. New York, points out that an
electric washing machine equipped
with a one-fourth5 horsepower electric
motor, q usual size, can be operated
for an hour at cost OF but three cents.
It is assumed that all appliances are
operated by current which costs ten
cents per kilowaft hour. This Is a
little higher than the average charge
for currents so that whatever differ
ence may arise in actual practice will
be in favor OF the devices.
An ordinary electric iron costs only
five cents on hour to operate. 1t saves
countless steps. "A household expert
recently stated that the average house
wife walks 1874 miles a year II she uses
the old time saddron. "A single disk
stove six inches IN diameter consumes
two and one-half cents worth Of cur

to conspire to kill business!s From

mess stagnation.' sttH
Prosperity is returning to us by just
the reverse chain Of thought with the
identical psychological links, the
mind again performing the operation.
The electrical industry viewed the
! nationwide business depression and
decided to switch off peoples minds
end to make prosperity spell some
thing real and true.
The electrical industry said: Lets
have an electrical prosperity week in
I every city and town In the United
: states. You can't halt business in
this country; any more than you can
4 stop the rush Of Niagara. There no
reason for depression. Let's wipe the

And SO 1t started. The. electrical
industry turned Its tremendous broad
I side on depression. Peoples minds
! halted in their gloomy fore holdings. "A
stimuluss in foreign trade developed,
md we began to- think of profits to
the big and little manufacturer. We
figured returns at last on Investments,
and we fhought of dividends and high
prices for our securities. The pros

We watched the stock market. 1t at

Thus we passed through an I'M

which we got depression.
One good thing to remember is that

not depend on our exports. Our ex-
ports amount to about two per cent Of
our business, and IL IT. ran, up to five
per cent 1t would not revolutionize
business here.

Wednesday afternoon by Vance
Il Heilbronner, attorneys for C..
b. Hester. against Mrs. Ara
Belle Walker of Robards, alleged
TO be due for money advanced
the defendant by the plaintiff
last July on her promise TO
marry.
The petition states that the
plaintiff is widower and that
the defendant is a widow, and
that during the month Of July.
1914, the plaintiff desired TO mar.
ny the defendant. And that on
July 18th, the defendant prom.
ised to marry this plaintiff IL he
would lend her 81, $50 with which
TO purchase the interest Of her
sons in a certain tract of land
lying in this county.
The plaintiff states that the
defendant was aware at the time
that he did not have the money,
but that he borrowed same from
the First National Bank Of Sc.
bree on July %. due in six
months, and to secure said bank
he gave a mortgage on his prop.
erty, due in six months, which
has been long past due.
He states that sometime after.
ward he reminded the defendant
Of her agreement, when she in.
formed him that she did not in.
tend to marry him and further
that she would not pay back the
money as there was no note OF
other papers in evidence showing
she owed the same. Wherefore

plaintiff prays for a judgement
