BIG WAR
ORDERS OF OUR OWN
Uncle Sam Is Making Millions of
Rifles in the Greatest Munitions
Factories in the World.

Speaking of preparedness, what's
the matter with the four enormous
plants near Philadelphia which are
turning out 100000 rifles for the
United States government, 100000
shells and other munitions in like
proportions?
The Baldwin Locomotive Works,
the Midvale Steel and Ordnance Com
pany, the Eddystone Ammunition
Corporation and the Remington Arms
plant-all of them ituated in or near
Philadelphia-ar Transforming that
section into an Eessen of our own,
This is saying nothing about the
enormous factories at Bridgeport,
Conn, at Il1ion, n. Y, and at other
points in the United States.
For year and half we have been
supplying almost every nation in Eu-
rope, with the exception OF Germany,
with more or less of the munitions
of war. We have got together, organ
lied. trained, co-ordinated the great
est force of munition makers in the
world; we have erected in incredibly
short periods enormous plants and
equipped them; we have got things
running smoothly and practiced
while working for armies over the
seas.

Welt ARE MEETING
FOR GEORGIA URGED
MIR. YEOMANS SAYS W. x A. RAIL
ROAD AND FREE SCHOOL BOOKS
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.

Hon. NJ. j. Yeomans, member of
the house of representatives from
Terrell county, recently expressed the
opinion and conviction that the sug-
gested state welfare convention
ought to be held, and that it can go
considerably beyond the things which
up to this time have been suggested
for its consideration. In Mr.. Yeo-
mans opinion such a gathering can
go a long way toward settling the
question of free school books; can
show conclusively the disposition on
the question of the Western and At
lantic road, as we'll as accomplishing
the original intention with respect to
the general enforcement of law.
There are" said Representative
Yeomans, "a graf many things which
state welfare convention can take
up and definitely handle, and | am in
favor of having such meeting called.
Free School Books.
For instance, the question of free
school books for children below the
high school grades should, by all
means, have the serious cOnsidera-
ton of just such people as would
compose such convention.
THE disposition of the state rail-
road, its future, whether that is to
be through lease, extension to the sea
or sale of the property, ought to be
gone into by just such a gathering.
There is a growing sentiment that it
ought to be sold. That might be the
best disposition, but certainly a state
gathering will show mot conclus-
lively what the best mind of the state
is on the subject.
THE question of rotation OF the
superior court judges of the state is
a growing one, and that, too, could
and should be handled by such a con-
vention. The best method of select
ing judges, their salaries, the tenure
of office, the question of solicitors
general going on salaries, which |
think is by all means essential,
would be questions properly handled
in the convention.
''The care of orphaned dependent,
neglected and destitute white chill
dren of the state, is another.
Primarily the convention would
be called on the question of devising
a method of better law enforcement,
not only in opposition to lynching,
but in behalf of the enforcement OF
all laws, and if there was ever time
when the people of the state should
come together on this question it is
now"

NEARLY MILLION HORSES
And MULES GO TO ALLIES
Nearly Seven Hundred Thousand An
finals Valued at $13t, 81 4 900
Shipped Across Ocean.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Unit
ed States shipped 67S,44 horses and
mules, worth $131,914,OOO, to Eu-
rope for the allied armies in the last
year and a half, according to export
figures assembled in the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce.
During the whole of 1913 only a
few more than 10000 horses and
mules went to Europe from the Unit
ed States, but three months after hos
tilities began they were going ats the
rate of 10000 a month. The steady
flow reached its height last October
when 600 were shipped.
Despite a diminished supply the
price of farm animals has dropped
considerably within the last few
months, which is explained by the
statement that only the best horses
left the country, lowering the gen.
eral standard, and also by the in
creased use of gas engines and auto
mobiles The average price Jan. l.,
1916. was $101.60, compared with
$103.15 year ago, and SlO9.l4 IN
1914. The average price of animals
supplied to the allies was upwards of
5000.
Ordinarily the rate of increase in
horses and mules is about one per
cent a year, but last year the Euro
pean demand caused the supply to
diminish by about 5000 animals.
The department of agriculture on
January 1 estimated the number OF
farm animals in the United States at
$500. 900

THOUSAND FOOT
PLUNGE TO INSTANT DEATH
Champion American Aviator Falls
More Than Two Miles.

A fearful plunge of 1900 feet to
death was the fate of w. c. Robin
son. the champion American aviator
for long sustained flight, few days
ago near Grinnell, Iowa. Imagine
the terror that must freeze the heart
of a man more than two miles up in
the air when he discovers that his
machine has gone bad and that
nothing intervenes between him and
the inevitable law of gravitatiOn.
As the machine struck the ground
the gasoline tank exploded and the
resultant fire destroyed the plane and
burned the aviator's body almost be-
yond recognition.
Robinson made the American rec
ord for sustained flight a year ago.
when he flew without a stop from
Des Moines to Chicago.

The homeless camped in the

The fire, which began in the Dyer
building, burned that structure like
finder, and it was seen from the start
that it was doomed. Chief Reynolds
of the fire department directed his
principal attack on the Union Savings
bank building just across the street,
and thousands of gallons of water
were poured on to the sides of this
building.

the uunecessary dram on the gasoline supply is obvious
 UnGer the law of supply and da- mand a corresponding rise in the prieh of gasoline must be expected in order to ray for the waste. And the owner of the economical lighter car must bear his share of the burden for which he is not responsible.
 Ii the gasoline consumption of all automobiles were leveled to the light car standard. tho resultant col Sedva- ton in th- supply of gasoline would undoubtedly be sufficient to put -he price quotations within reasonable limits and keep them there.
 IL would seem that the congresSion- al investigators have an opportunity for doing the country a great service by laying stress upon the underlying facts m the consumption problem.

Details of the wage agreement between the Alaska engin- eering commission and the Federal Labor Union at Anchorage, which were received here today, show ma terial advances for all classes of work, ranging from 10 5-S cents an hour for section men to $1S0 a month for steam shovel engineers Officials of the com mission said the only thing they feared was that the high wages would cause more laborers to rush to Alaska than could be used and that hardships would be caused men out of work
 Chairman J. A. Moffett, of the ar bitration board, which settled the strike, said that in arranging the schedule the board, which took testi- mony from Lieutenant Frederick Mears, of the Alaska Engineering commission. and from worllmen in all the construction camps took into con sideration the higher cost of living along the line of construction in Alaska, compared .TIth that in the United States.
