GERMANS OBJECT TO
FULL SKIRTS
fBy Associated Press. }

Berlin, July 14-The Franffur-
ter Zeitung publishes protest
against the lack of patriotism of
German women "who are following
the new fashion of wearing full
skirts" The extra cloth required
by the new fashion, explains the
journal, could be put to better use:
"It is quite possible that the full
skirts are more sensible and more
pleasant. But why must our wom-
en- adopt this new fashion at the
precise moment when we have to
be very economical in our use of
wool and cotton? A simple calcula-
tion will show that it takes twice
as much material to make a skirt
as it did year ago ,and II one null
tiplies this increased consumption
by the number of ladies who fol-
low the fashion, one arrives at an
astounding figure. German fashions
today ought to put all considerations
behind that of patriotism. They
ought to consider first of all how we
are to economize our small stock of
raw materials.

MUNICIPAL GARDENS
FOR EAST PRUSSIA
(Ry Associated Press. }

Koenizsberg, July 14-Every
town of importance in East Prussia
that has suffered at the devastating
hand of the Russians has decided to
incorporate a municipal garden Sec
tion in its plans for rebuilding.
Many Of the destroyed towns are
so completely ruined that 1t is go
ing to be necessary to raze what lit
tie is left and construct the whole
community anew. This makes II
eminently feasible to apportion off a
section that can be devoted to the
desirable city garden feature.
Many of the communities also are
planning for a series of municipality
constructed and owned houses for
workmen, single home structures
with two, three and four rooms,
which can ultimately be purchased
by their occupants on the familiar
easy-payment plan.
Plans of this character are al
ready well advanced in Gerdauen,
Tapiau. Ortelsburg, Lyck and other
communities, and additional munich
palities are preparing to follow
suit.

negro during the past few NIGHTS

: nave been forced to give up thei,
spare cash, went to the police sta
ton Yesterday and strongly stated
that Reuben Iampkin, susnect
locked up in the city Jail, was the
darkey who had met them and who
mad presented the pictol with the
command as indicated.
Two of those who were thus treat
ed were shown revolver which had
been found in the negro's ROOM and
they, without hesitation, stated ii
was the same gun, down the barrel
OF which they had glared while the
holder of the same took charge of
all they had.
Although the victims unhesitat-
ingly identified Lampkin as the black
who took all their money, or at least
all they were found with, the darkey
has never denied the allegation On
the contrary, he tries, if anything
to evade their searching glances.

DECORATE TRENCHES
(By Associated Press.) }

Cologne, July IA letter from
German soldier in France de-
scribes a company in which amateur
or professional sculptors, as well as
some landscape artists, are present
in large numbers. The trenches In
which the company lies accordingly
have taken on an extraordinary dec

In an underground shelter from
80 to 40 feet under the surface of
the earth the con(pany's sculptors
have evolved faithful likenesses OF
President Poincare of France, Lord
Churchill Of England and the Kais-
er. the latter with a two-mark piece
relief as a model. In addition there
are charicatures Of a "Suffragette'
of John Bull" and other familiar

a little cemetery some distance back
Of the trenches. The latter are
veritable flower gardens in which
the art of the landscape artist has
had sway.

THIS BANK IS A LITTLE
GOLD MINE

Mariana, Fla, July 1.-THE
Bank of Greenwood, located in the
town of Greenwood, nine miles
northeast of this city, in Jackson
county. has just declared and paid
a semi-annual dividend to its stock
holders of ten per cent. on its capi-
tai stock. The bank has only fifteen
thousand dollars capital stock but
has an earned surplus and undivid-
ed profits account of over seventeen
| thousand dollars, or larger than it's
capital stock.
1t has been organized some seven
years and has always paid dividends
amounting to twenty per cent or
more per year, and has paid as high
as forty EIGHT per cent dividends in
single year. 1t is located in a
small country town which lies in
one of the best farming sections Of
Jackson county, and the section
contributing to the bank is devoted
entirely to the production of the
staple crops. The fact that the bank
should be able to pay so large a di-
vidend at a time like this when the
financial stress of the country is so
great is highly complimentary not
ONLY to the management of the in
stitution but also to the general
thrift and well being of the COM
munity.

WHERE OYSTERS GROW ON
TREES IN FLORIDA

Atlanta, July 14-A place in
Florida where oysters grow on trees
IS described by DR.. Hixon Dennis. a
millionaire New York clubman and
sportsman, who registered last night
at the Hotel Ansley, on the way
back from fishing trip on the gulf
coast.
DR. Dennis is not humorist and
his observations really constitute an
interesting contribution to scietific
fact.
TN Sarasota Bay" he explained,
1.-The backwater stretches of salty
marsh are lined along their banks
with hundreds of mango trees,
whose overhanging branches droop
far down into the water, There eX-
lists in these waters a delicious small
oyster, known to the inhabitants as
the coon oyster, which then these
branches are in the water, fastens
llStll W tHtIl W lNtu oil tiC ooNtu
lent juices from the stems and
leaves. In feeding it closes its
shell tightly around the branches,
and when the tide runs out again
the natives visit the trees, picking
the oysters off the branches like
fruit, by the basket full"
The above facts are vouched for
by the narrator, who says they may
be easily verified.
"If | wished to be humorous he
added, 81 might say that in the
same territory there is the bread
tree and the butter tree, so that one
can pick a whole oyster supper of
the trees OF course the bread tree
is the bearer of the well-known
bread fruit, and the butter tree Is
the bearer of the avocado pear. or
alligator pear, from which certain
kind of butter is made"

"To furnish to the aggressive, pro-

in this way will continue the study in
