COMMISSIONERS MEETING.

A special meeting Of the town
commissioners took place last
night at which there was consld-
erable work done in framing up
the privilege taxes, which are due
June 1st and must be pald by
July 1st. or business cannot be
transacted in the town.
1t was agreed that the PRIV

venient for a business ma nto pay
his tax at the Planters and Com
mercial Bank he can do so, or he
can paw at the Scotland Neck

receipts.
The further business was the
agreement on the price, and scale
for the city water. This scale will
be published at a later date, and 1t
will appear on the back OF every
receipt for water. At the pres
ent time about 5000 gallons daily

AIRNAVY SOLVES
WARS FUTURE
(By UNITED PhESS)

With the British Armies in the
Field, June 22-Wing officers
out here are more than ever con-
vinced that the war will be de-
cided largely in the air. For
that reason, news Of the Ameri-
can project to build and man a
huge sky armada was received
enthusiastically today. The air
men were agreed that the United
States is capable Of an enormous
and rapid production Of ma
CHIMES. Moreover, they hold
Americans are fitted naturally,
to be top-notch flyers only
needing two or three weeks ac-
tual battlefield experience to
make them headliners in the
fighting game.
That the, Germans are alive
keenly to the Importance Of the
air branch Of military science is
revealed in a report found on a
German officer recently captured.
It covered the period Of the
Somme battle.
The report frankly admitted
that the British and French hold
mastery Of the air. The Germans,
it was asserted, were unable to
fly over the enemy lines and Ger
man balloons were forced to re-
main hidden on the ground. Thus
at decisive moments in the fight
| blinded, while the Prussian in
fantry wasa harrassed by war
planes swooping low constantly
and machine cunning men in the
trenches
The German helplessness, the
report continued, was aggrevat-
ed by knowledge that artillery
was unable to support them. The
document declared the allied fly
ers so outnumbered and out
maneuver the German airplanes
that the latter even were unable
to hold the air above their OWL
heavy artillery positions. The
British and French machines
constantly hovered overhead,
dropping bombs or giving then
own artillery acurate ranges.
The German report also ad
, mitted bases, ammunition depots
supply columns, cavalry support
ing the troops, divisions in re
serve-everything, and every
body, harrassed by the allied air
men, often completely frustrat
ing the defense at critical june
lures.
In short, the German report
was a confession that an army
, is powerless unless something
approaching equality is main
tanned in the air.

Fashion holds a loose rein this sea-

who loves the plain, tailor-made suit

from the simple ways of their forebear

at home one may be as gally decked

without offending anybody's taste or
sense of fitness.

able. The Babcock test, invented in
$780, by Df. s. NJ. Babcock of WlsCOn-
sin, Is now the most satisfactory and
practical method by which the dairy
man can determine the quality of but
terfat produced by his cows. The
equipment necessary for the Babcock
test will depend somewhat on the size
Of the herd. For n small herd the
following is satisfactory:
A Babcock tester-four or eight bot
tie capacity.
One dozen whole-milk test bottles,
6 per cent.
Two pipettes, graduated at 17.6 Gu
bic centlmeters.
An acid measure, graduated at 17.5
cubic centimeters.
A pair of dividers.
One dozen sample bottles, or half
pint glass jars.
One hOt-water bath, or gallon pail.
One bottle sulphuric acid, specific
gravity 1.82.
Making the Tests.
II the samples are cold, they should
be warmed to 60 degrees or 20 degrees
Fahrenheit. The milk is then mixed
by pouring 1t several times from one
sample bottle to another so as to get
a uniform mixture and to dissolve all
the cream particles. The pipette is
put into the milk Immediately and
sucked nearly full of milk. The fore
hngeI, which should be dry, is placed
quickly on the upper end Of the pI-
petite before the milk runs down to the
17.6 cubic centimeter mark. A slight
release in the pressure of the finger
allows the milk to flow from the pi-
petite until the milk stands at the
graduation mark. Next, place the
point of the pipette in the mouth
Of the test bottle, holding both
pipette and bottle at an angle SO
as to allow the milk to run down the
side of the neck, thus allowing an
exit for the air in the bottle. Write
the number Of the sample with COM
mon black lead pencil on the rough.
ened spot on the side of the test bottle,
Adding tho Acid.
Commercial sIllphuric acid, specific
Meade County news., 1917-09-27

gravity 1.S2, is added to digest or dis
solve the milk curd and thus set free
the fat. Since this acid will eat holes
quickly in clothing and will burn the
skin, the greatest care should be ta-
ken rot to spill 1t. The acid should
be about the same temperature as the
milk. The acid measure is filled to
the graduation mark, 17.5 cubic cent?
meters, and the acid added carefully
to the test bottle containing the meas
ured sample of milk, with the bottle
held at an angle. The acid, being
heavier than the milk, goes to the bot
tom at once, forming n clear layer
which turns to chocolate color at the
junction of the acid and the milk, Ow-
ing to the charring Of the milk sugar
The test bottle then is shaken with Il
rotary motion, the mouth held away
from the body, until the whole mass is
uniform dark-brown or chocolate
color.
WhirIlng the Bottles.
Place the bottles in the BabcOck
tester opposite each other, so as to
balance the machine properly. Whirl
for five minutes at the speed indicated
in the directions furnished with the
machine; the number of revolutions
per minute depending on the diameter
Of the machine. Hot, soft water is
then added to the bottles with a pl-
petite, until the fat is brought up to
the base Of the neck. The test bottles
are again whirled for couple Of min
utes, after which more hot water is
added to bring the fat column up In
