STRIKE AT ANCHORAGE
 SPOILING BUSINESS

In letter from George Cotter to Frank the writer says the labor strike over there is just destroying business. George uses language so forcible that the destruction must be terrible to the point of damnation. The Ken mel Club dance, however, was a howl ing success and a lot of money was realized.

RUSSIA GETTING HER
 MUNITIONS FAST NOW

PETROGRAD, Feb. 2.-Watchful waiting, that well known American policy regarding Mexico some months ago. sums up the war situation in Russia today, but watchful waiting in Russia has a meaning all its own.
 Whereas Uncle Sam, after expen- encing a few pin-pricks in his patti ence. remained passive, the great Russian bear after sustaining a healthy. Hfe-sized wallop on his tend CT snOut let out a roar that shook the earth continents away. Reduced to plain English the roar was:
 "Give me munitions; I've got enough men,"
 That was several months ago. Russia's greatest arsenal, near Pet rograd, had been blown to smither- eeus; the armies of Grand Duke Nicholas, yielding to the Austro- Ger man steam roller, had been driven from the Carpathians back into Rus sia and had lost Warsaw and the whole of Poland; there was political dissension in Russia; alarming semi revolutionary outbreaks were occur ring here and there; the ever advanc- ing enemy was threatening even Mos cow, and the greatest seaport in the Baltic, Riga. appeared to be about to fall.
 In Winter bears usually hibernate, but all these things and more which happened to the Russian bear in the Summer and Fall of 1915 precluded any idea of his going into winter quarters this year. Russia is today the most active winter bear extant.
 Russia has now mobilized her in- dustries and shells and other muni- tOus in great quantities have begun to flow from the factories and shops in every important Russian city; the Russian cabinet has been reformed with particular reference to a more active conduct of the war; the peas ants who used to drink vodka have become used to a vodkaless Russia and are putting their profits from vodkaless harvests--hence bigger har- vestS-into the provincial banks; Grand Duke Nicholas has been super seded by the Czar as Commander-in- Chief and has taken hold of tie im- portant campaign in the Caucasus. Stirred to renewed vigor under it's Ruler, the army has used the shells born of the industrial mobilization and repulsed the enemy in the vicinity of Riga, besides putting him on the defensive elsewhere.
 These and many more things have happened in Russia since the double eagle whacked th5 bear on the snout. The roar for munitions which the bear let out soon reached Japan, Eng land, and America, and for the last three months rifles, shells and cannon have been pouring into the Pacific and Arctic ports. Canadian ice breakers will keep Archangel open all winter for munition-laden ships from America. Heavily loaded trains are crawling across the Siberian plains in almost endless procession, stopping here and there to deposit rifles and cartridges for the men who have been training with sticks and only lacked the arms werewith to join the armies now preparing for Russia's future campaign.

ENORMOUS GAIN N
REALTY TRANSFERS
FOR MONTH Of JUNE
MORE THAN FOUR TIMES AS
LARGE AS THOSE OF SAME
MONTH or 1915.
Big INCREASE HALF YEAR.
More Than Hall Million More For The
First Six Months Of 1915 Than They
Were During the Same Period Of the
Previous Year.

ALI former records for increased land
transfers in Maury county for the
month Of June we're broken during the
past month when the aggregate trans.
fers of the county were $3S3,O50, as
compared with $4,000 for the same
month Of 1915. The state collected in
transfer taxes from this source the
substantial sum Of $3S3.05.
In other words the transfers for the
month of June were more than four
times as great as they we're In the
same month of the previous year. For
May the transfers were only $4,000,
the increase for the past month over
the previous month being more than
100000. The transfers for the first
half of the year exceed those of the
first six months of last year by more
than half million dollars and establish
a new half years record in Maury
county.
The big increase In land transfers
shows the increasing esteem in which
the real estate Of this county is held.
The bulk OF the transfers for the past
month were phosphate lands, but q
number OF farms changed hands at
good prices.

JUNE PROVES A
FAILURE TO CuPIC
LESS THAN ONE MARRIAGE A DAY
IN THE COUNTY THE
PAST MONTH.

Daniel Cupid was not on the job in
Maury county during the leafy month
Of June. He loafed or maybe it was
the war excitement that turned the
minds of the youth toward glory upon
the battlefield rather than to thoughts
Of love. Anyway, the record made in
that month supposed to be especially
dedicated to true love, was rank fail
ure. Less than one marriage license q
day was issued during that period.
There were just twenty-eight couples
made two souls with but q single
thought, or to put it more prosaically,
just that number who decided to be
hitched up for the battles to obtain
bacon and calico. Last June thirty
eight marriages were celebrated in
this county, decrease OF ten. But
then there was q margin of more than
this number at the first of the month,
SO in spite of the slump D. Cupid is
ahead of the record Of last year.
