ton has increased, notably in the South; but a
long period of vigorous expansion in this industry
will be needful to bring the output OF food anlmals
up to anything like the demand.
In Europe as we'll as in America the meat sup
ply has been decreasing for many years and 1t
will be lower than ever in the seasons following
the war All the belligerent countries have drawn
heavily on their reserves of food anfmals-some
of them to the point of exhaustion. AS to condi-
lions in the Central Empires a correspondent OBJ
serves:
Germany and Austria-Hungary killed off
classes of live stock in the first year of the
to save grain, potatoes and other vegeta-
bles: they are now suffering more from lack
of fats than from any other privation. Their
farms must be restocked and they cannot draw
on Russia when peace is restored. Germany
has drained Denmark and Holland of all the
hogs and cattle they spare and Denmark
no longer supply her English customers
with bacon"
II seems too that France will have to start from
the foundation in rebuilding her live stock indus
tries and she will demand pure-bred animals.
Russia will undertake new and more efficient
system of agriculture for which purpose she will
be in the market for high-grade live stock.
These conditions. together with the shortage
of food animals for years before the war, present
extraordinary opportunities to the live stock in
dustry. BY preparing 0etlmes georgia farmers
will assure themselves and the State new and
abundant source of prosperity. The Moultrie con-
ference has done a great deal for the encourage
ment of live stock interests in that section of
Georgia Similar conferences should be held in
every part of the State. To the extent that the
production of food animals and foodsufs generally
is increased, Georgia will grow prosperous and in
dependent. TINS is field of enterprise to which
business leaders as we'll as farmers should lend
earnest support.

The fact that than six thousand persons
farmers and business men from hundred miles
around attended the live stock conference held at
Moultrie last week bears striking witness to Geor
gia's interest in animal husbandry. No field OF
production offers surer rewards. For the last six
years the prices of cattle, sheep and hogs have
moved steadily upward. and there is every indica-
ton that they will continue to advance.
On April Is, last. according to the national De-
partment of Agriculture. beef cattle sold by
producers brought seventy cents per hundred
pounds more than the same date of the preced-
ing year; hogs brought seventy-three cents more;
and sheep a dollar and one cent more. The aver
age gain in prices for these three classes of food
animals was nineteen per cent for the twelve
month and fourteen per cent for six-year period.
Except for fluctuations now and then, the live
stock market continues firmly upward.
This is quite natural when one notes that for
decades past the production OF food animals has
failed keep pace with the growth of population.
Between 1899 and 1909 the numOer of cattle in
the United States fell from fifty million to forty
one million head; the number of sheep, from sixty
one million to fifty-two million; and the number
of hogs from sixty-three million to ifty-eight mil
lion. Throughout this period, the country's pop
uIation was increasing at the rate of more than
million a year. More recently, live stock produc-

All accounts of the British drive dwell upon the

coded the infantry attacks. million shells day

defenses-a relentless hurricane of steel. 1t was

The way to infantry attacks has been prepared

Newspaper Tells Readers Roosevelt Heads Revolution Against Wilson.

Fl paso, Nov. 23.-Colonel Theo- dore Roosevelt has started a revo- lution against President Wilson. ac- cording to a dispatch printed in Fl Demoerata, the leading newspaper of Chihuahua City. which. however, qualified the report by printing a question mark in the heading.
 The dispatch, which appears in the issue of the 22nd of this month. IS placed under a Mexico City date. It reads as follows:
 Alarming rumors have been cir culating in this city which say that Col. Theodore Roosevelt heads a re- volution that has broken out in sev- eral states of the American union. with the object of overthrowing President Wilson, who Roosevelt claimed authorized several electoral frauds in order to triumph in the past election.
 High officials in this city and some of the diplomats state with confidence that this rumor is a can ard of the American yellow press which is hostile to Wilson. The American ambassador has already telegraphed to Washington to in- form himself of the truth of the re- port"

TROUBLE FOR THE EGG KING
Must Sell His Million Before Jan
 uary 21, Official Says. {

Chicago, Nov. 25-War against the high cost of living became militant here today with simultaneous raids on three of the largest cold storage warehouses in the city. The raids were based on city ordinance long ignored, which places a restriction on the time foods may be kept in cold storage, and were due partly, it was said, to the attitude of James E. Wetz. a wholesaler, Egg King, who is said to be holding more than 72 million eggs.
 I've got them. What are you go- ing to do about it?" was the an- swer to investigators.
 The ordinance prohibits the stor- age of eggs for more than 10 months. Examination by fifty investigators, who conducted the raids, revealed only two or three questionable eggs, but showed that many millions were put away in March and April.
 "Wetz will be obliged to throw these on the market by Janary 2i," said Dr. John Dill Robertson, health commissioner, "and my advice to the public is to stop using eggs until he begins to market them. l will see that they are not held in cold storage a minute more than ten months and that they do not go on the market unless they are fit for consumption"

THE FOLLY OF FIGHTING FIRE.

 Subject of HeartleSs Attack.

Now that the lid is going on Dem on Rum all over the country and in well regulated communities gentle men no longer fight cocks and en- courage manly pugs to batter each others faces for prize money, an other favorite outdoor sport of the American people is coming under the ban, says the Southern Con- struction News, of Little Rock.
 There are those who are now de- that we must put the lid on too much fire-fghting. They say that the indulgence in this exciting pastime which never fails to at tract everybody in town to the scene, including the dogs, is becom- ing a menace to prosperity, is boost ing the high cost of living and giv- ing the poor man an awful jolt in the pocket book They even go SC far as to fix in dollars and cents the average per capita tax devoted tc feeding the flames.
 Everybody loves to go to the fire so what's the use to initiate Ananias And what is more thrilling than to see half dozen motor trucks dash ing thru a crowded street going 4( miles an hour and the firemen not knowing whether a $i00,000 build ing is burning down, or whether someone has delicately dropped 2 festive cigarette into an awning, ol perchance a youth of more imagana- ton than intelligence has turned 1T a false alarm.

Sir Hiram was reported seriously ill at his home in London, several days ago. He was 76 years old His career reads like romance. Born at Sangerville, Maine, of poor par entage, he received only a common school education, and for four years worked as an apprentice in the Catholic building. His fierce desire for knowledge of science mastered him and between work in the iron masters shop, he studied and at tended lectures. Sir Hiram's scien- titlie inventions included the im- provement of incadescent lamps, re- gister machines and the like. Then came the Maxim automatic gun, the first harnessing of the recoil powers. A score of other war inventions fol- lowed, including cordite, for a time the most powerful smokeless powder known. Lately he has been inter- ested in aviation.
 Maxim was knighted in 1901. His son, Hiram Search Maxim, is presi- dent of the Maxim Silencer com pany and lives in the United States, He also is an inventor. Hudson Maxim is a brother of Sir Hiram.
