ABOUT MACHINE GUNS

Against machine-guns the rif1eman
is helpless, military expert remarked;
and he was right. Actual tests of
machine-guns have shown them to be
superior to picked marksmen. At a
test in this country some time ago,
forty-two first class shots were pitted
against one Maxim, each side firing
for one minute at target represent
ing infantry in line, at distance
which was unknown, but which was
actually 1000 yards. These were the
results: forty-two men, 40s rounds,
SO hits; machine-gun, 22s rounds, so
hits: although the Maxim spent some
lime in getting the range.
Machine-guns are really rifles with
a mechanical feed, which supplies
them rapidly with cartridges. In all
modern patterns they are automatic in
action. The gas produced by the ex-
| plosion or shock of recoil opens the
breech, elects the spent cartridge,
loads the rifle, closes the breech, and
fires the charge. These complicated
operations are carried out with extra
ordinary speed.
To give an example. The Maxim
can fire at least 45O rounds minute,
or more than seven shots per second,
and if in exceptionally good oreder
and cleverly operated can discharge
600 rounds minute.
In the British Army at the begin
ming of the war the number of ma
chine-guns was two to each battalion
or cavalry regiment. In the German
army there was an extraordinary de-
velopement of the machine-gun sec
tions shortly before the war. Indeed
the enemy is stated to have taken the
field with $4,000 of these weapons, SC
that each German battalion must have
had ten, if not more, which gave them
an enormous advantage above the AL.

HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT PEANUTS

In New York there is man that

nuts. The grocery trade says that he

other living American. He has seen
the industry grow through half CEN

that, would youf Moo that isn't ex-
'sctly true! Virginia really contin-
ues in the lead. Virginia is the or
2ginal peanut state. Oklahoma and
Texas have been coming up tremend-
ously. peanuts never amounted to
much in this country until the civil
war. During the war the Northern
soldiers who were campaigning in
Virginia got to eating them and
found the dainty they had never heard
Of before very stomach-filling and di-
gestible. When they got back to the
North they told of the nut and Great

its real popularity until about seven
years ago, when the doctors discov-
cred it. They found it was one of the
of the most digestible of foods and
especially fine for insomnia. If you
can't sleep at night try half pint
of peanuts. You will be surprised to
find out how you will browse off after
you have chewed them well. Chicago
eats half as many peanuts as New
York and Brooklyn combined. Chi
Chicago spends over ten thousand dol
lars day for peanuts, and eight and
half thousand of it goes as profit
to the push-cart man and the very
small stores.

JAPAN MAKING WAR SHOES

An agreement is reported to have
been concluded between the Russian
government and the Okura Gumi, Tok-

the rate of between $4,000 pairs and
100000 pairs a month, with a special
stipulation that the Russian govern

when the agreement is desired to be

quantity can easily be supplied by the

IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY,

we have hired IN a twenty acre peach
orchard IT. the San joaquin Valley in
California. The view Is beautiful.
Near by are the snow covered noun
tains and there are acres and acres Of
grapes, oranges, figs and lemons.
l think now so far as l have seen
hat figs are the best crop 10 grow,
The returns are perhaps a little SLOW,
but they are less trouble after a while
and the figs bring good prices.
All the watering Is by deep irriga-
ton bitches filed with snow cold
water. The soil is never allowed 10
dry out, but the less water used short
Of hat the better. The water in the
soil is so conserved by cultivation that
the growing crops get the full benefit
Of It. The trees respond wonderfully
TO the uniform moisture.
But one sees behind the scenes ont
here. The farmers, many of them
from Japan, Austria, Serbia and Ar
mcnia. and all the rest from black
East" buy this land for 500, $3.50 or
$500 an acre. The price depends on
how Il lies in regard to the bitches.
Then they have q level II more or
less. 1t costs about $40 an acre TO
level it and most farms are no, over
twenty acres.
AS soon as this IS done they plant

there have been no late cold rains in
The spring or in the fan when the
frames are laden with driving raisins.
Is about $50 an acre. In five years IL
all goes well the yield Is 500 an acre.
You have no idea how poor many Of

John c. Fisher has put every resource
of success within his command. 1t is a
story of French origin and is told in
three acts, the locale being in and
about Paris Of the present period. Har-
ry B. and Robert B. Smith wrote the
book and lyrics. Their basic ideas
were La Rosa Rogue" Incorporated in
aud adoption of the French farce by
George Berr and Marcel Guillimaud,
the best known farceurs of contempor-

composed the music for Peggy From

SOUTH AND WAR
DISCUSSED BY SMITH

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 27.-The South
and the War was the subject of a
speech by United States Senator Hoke
Smith at meeting of business men
here today.
He had made many practical sugges-
tlons by which business men, farmers
ard manufacturers may fortify them
selves and their business against the
peculiar conditions brought on by the
European struggle.
Senator Smith expressed the belief
that the war would be prolonged for a
long while, and that this country might
as well face that fact and adjust itself
to the new business conditions.
