Rumanian Capital Falls Into Hands
or Germans

Bucharest, the capital of Rumania
is in the hands of the forces of the
Central PAYERS.
Exactly 100 days after the declara-
ton of war by Rumania against them
finds the Teutonic Allies in control
of about $4,000 square miles of Ru-
manian extraordinarily one-half
of the understanding from the
Transylyanian Alps northwest of the
capital to the Danube south of it,
and a large part of Dobrudja, and
probably still on the heels of the re-
treating Russian and Rumanian
armies which have been endeavoring
to hold them back
simultaneously with the announce
ment of the fall of Bucharest came
the news of the capture of the impor-
tant railroad junction of Ploechti,
north of the capital, the conquest of
which place in the hands of the in
vaders the last railroad in the west
and gives to them the head of the
lire running northward to Jassy,
where the capital of Rumania is now
situated.
No details have as yet come
through concerning the climax to the
great drive of the armies OF General
Won Falkenhayn and Field Marshal
Won ,Mackensen, or whether the Ru-
manians succeeded entirely In maxi
ing their escape behind the Buch-
Arrest line. Previous to the announce
ment of the capture of Bucharest and
of Polechti unofficial advices had in
dicated that four divisions OF the de-
tenders were in hazardous position
in the region due west of Bucharest
and in danger Of being enveloped.
With the fall Of Bucharest the Cen
trail Powers are now in possession of
four capitals of Entente Allied States,
the others being Brussels, Belgrade
and Cetinije.

HOSPITAL FOR HORSES
British Government TO Build and
Maintain One at Spencer.

The Spencer correspondent OF the
Charlotte Observer says that the
British government has authorized
the establishment of a hospital in
Spencer for the treatment OF live
stock bought in America and intend
ed for foreign use. The contract has
been lei ind the building is now be-
ing erected by the Southern Railway
Company at the request OF represent
tatives of Great Britain. The struc-
;ure is 46 by 100 feet in size and is
being equipped IN modern way.
In addition to the hospital. four
sun parlors for horses. IS by 200 feet
in size and accommodating about 500
animals at one time, are being built.
SO far as is known this is the first
move of the kind made by any OF the
foreign powers and Great Britain
has sent special representative to
Spencer to look after her interests
there.
In talking with the officer it is learn
ed that England expects TO handle
thousands of horses and mules NJ
this point. These animals are bought
in Western States and shipped 10
Spencer for food. rest. inspection and
treatment. Great Britain has bought
during the past year some 100000 of
the 2S,0C9000 horses and mules in
America. TIE nri:irh officer located
here. hcN points ont the fact
that hi ccCft y il cr'T taking the
normal increase and thdt his govern
ment is not depopulating America
from that standpoint.
The average cost of the animals
bought so far is about s165. which
means that the best are being kept
at home. A small per centage OF
these animals are found to be diseas-I
ed or injured in transit and it is for
the treatment of this class that the
hospital has been established in
Spencer. II being founhmore econom-
ical to treat the horses and mites
here than to ship them before being
seasoned for sea voyages.
approximately two train loads of
from 1,400 to 1000 horses and mulcs
are being received in Spencer each
week for consignment to Great Erir-
ain. Out of the thousands that have
already passed only two animals
have been crippled and only about
$50 have been treated for pneumo-
MIA. fever and other diseases.

How Human We All Are.

OF course the INSCRIPTIONS. who
take advantage of a situation like
the present to corner and combine
and force up prices, have a hand in
1t; and If the investigators could
reach these and give them a long
term in State prison, it would be
worth while. But nothing will come
of the Investigation. Moreover. the
high prices are, in the main. due to
short crops and the big demand for
food products. as well as other
things. on account OF the war.
The city consumer thinks the far
mer is rolling in wealth on account
of the high prices. The producer IS
benefited of course, but he hasn't so
much to sell on account OF the crop
shortage and the high price makes
up for the shortage. II there were
big crops the prices would be lower
Of course. The farmer would have
more to sell and get less. AS il is he
has less to sell and gets more. So II
somewhat evens UP Moreover, the
middleman, rather than the farmer,
probably reaps the lions share OF the
profits.
But how human we all are. When
prices are depressed and farm pro-
ducts are low, the producer demands
that the government pass law" or
do something to boost prices. They
wanted the government to buy a few
million bales of cotton and destroy
the cotton. when the price OF the sta
pie was low a few years ago. At
such times the city consumer ridl-
cules the producer for asking for
government help to boost prices. Now
that prices OF food products are
soaring the city consumers have set
up great yell. They demand that
The government do something to
bring down the price. They want

hings.
The only sensible thing for the
consumer to do is. when the price of |
my article gets TO the point he
links he can't afford is to put IL on
he luxury list and leave il off. If one
will try that he'll be amazed how
many things he can do without.
They're all tarred with the same |
tick and the age-old proverb. "it
makes difference whose OK Is gor-
