ANN|STON|ANS ID BEGIN CAMPAIGN
 FOR AUDITORIUM

| Anniston, November 6.--(Special.)-A
 committee appointed by the Anniston l Chamber of Commerce, with Dr. George
 Lang, president of the Alabama Pres
 byterian college and president of the Anniston Rotary club, as chairman, has begun a big drive to secure fund of
 $15,0o0 in this city to carry on the work of the Fosdick commission in An
 niston and Camp Mcclellan.
 Tn the raising of this amount An
 niston will secure for itself something like s40,0O0, or perhaps $50,ooO. Among the proposed uses of this fund in An niston is an auditorium. which Annis- ton has long needed and which will be a permanent addition to the public buildings of Anniston. It will have a capacity of 2500 or 5000. It is esti =
 mated that an amount equal to $S for each soldier will be expended in pro- viding places of amusement and in- terest for the soldiers.
 The object of the Fosdick commits sion is to keep American soldiers in the spirit and habits of home life wherever they may be. Five thousand young men of the Canadian army are held as incurables in camps and hos pitfalls, and not from wounds received on the battle fields, but from the hid- den enemies who ambush them daily. "The money spent through this fund, and it is Anniston's fund for use, will secure for the soldiers in Camp Me- Clellan health and strength and morale. That means victory and at the cost of the fewest lives" said Dr. Lang to- day.
 "The great service which Annistou can do for the soldier boys Is to drive out lonesomeness and vice. The Fosdick commission is the channel through which it can be done.
 Every man. woman and child in An- niston should give something to this 1und. It Is an opportunity to serve. American soldiers and sailors sub scribe for about $72,OoO, 900 worth of liberty bonds. They are putting up their money as well as their lives to win this war. Isn't it worth s15,a00 to Ann1ston to back those fellows up? You bet it is, and Annistonians are going to 9o their part cheerfully, fully and with characteristic speed"

FIGURES ARE GIVEN
 WHICH SHOW SIZE
 OF CAMP M GILLIAN

l Anniston, November e.-(Speciai IT he lumber used in building Camn Mo Clellan was placed in pile 30 feet w,ae and lS feet high, the pile would be a
 mile long, To furnish this lumber, trees were cut from an equivalent of 25oO | acres of land in heavily timbered sec tion.
 | It is only by such comparison that one l may grasp an idea of the great uuan- l tity of lumber used by the contractors m building the camp. The contractor or lumberman might appreciate that 10000. N0 feet is great deal of lumber, but l to the layman the figure used would not convey anything like an adequate con- ception of the pile this number of feet Of lumber would make.
 The lumber used in the camp all came from southern Alabama and Mississippi. and 1t has been rolling into the camp It tho rate of 100000 feet a day for the 'o0 days that have elapsed since the canon construction started.
 The last of the lumber ordered for the camp work is now arriving This morn ing 154 army trucks and four-mule wagons were counted al the lumber yard alongside the government spur in the camp, loading the lumber to haul it to the different companies who are still en- saged in the work of building tent floors and tent walls. This big job will soon
 finished. as well as the work of build- ing the shelters for the artillery horses
 nd finishing the regimental infirma- ries.
 There are few instances on record where 20,OOO.O00 feet of lumber have been
 worked up on one job in the short space 100 working days, and contractors look upon the achievement as being due to the remarkable efficiency Of Lieut.. Col
 ,harles l.. Dulin, who has directed the work from start to finish. The camp Will be an immense monument to his ability.
 Government figures show that the lumber for Camp Mcclellan was pur- chased at lesc cost than the lumber for any other of the big cantonments that were built this year. and far lower
 har the prevailing commercial prices.
 While there was some comment in .he leariy avs of the camp construction to she effect that great deal of lumoer
 Rs being wasted, later developmeuts
 owed that the persons making this
 ticism were speaking without full
 ioWledge of the facts. The waste has Zen minlmized by working as much as
 yssible of the lumber into the finish
 E. and additional jobs that were au-
 torized, and on work that odds and shds could be used on as the work pro- sressed.

Departments October Statement

WasnlngIon, November 6.-The de- partment's statement follows:
 The rainfall was considerably less than the normal for the month of De- tober in nearly all of the cotton grow ing districts. The temperature averaged from degrees to over degrees a day colder than the normal, and the tenn perature was below freezing in all but the extreme southern and eastern sec- tons of the area. The greatest damage by the low temperature and frost was in that part of the cotton area from Arkansas eastward, where the crop was from two to four weeks later than the normal. Frosts from the 9th to the 18th killed most undeveloped bolls in Ar kansas and Tennessee, where the de- velopment of the crop was retarded to the greatest extent
 Tn the southern and western part of the area, the conditions were favorable for outdoor work, and the picking of cotton progressed satisfactorily except where affected by the labor shortage. In Oklahoma about 65 per cent of the crop has been, picked in Mississippi. from 40 to 50 per cent had been at tho close of the month in the upper detal. which is the principal cotton section: much is still unpicked in South Caro. lima.
 The cold weather of the latter part or the month caused slight damage 10 cotton In the southern part of the area because of the small top crop, and the fact that a large part of the cotton had already been gathered
