latest is the use of flaming bullets,
which set the mems clothing on fire,
and in several instances the wounded
have had to be rolled in the mud by
their comrades to extinguish the flames.

came to this city and upon going to
the place found that she was not there.
He located her in hotel in Ripley
after some search and brought her
back to this city where she was taken
before the county and city officials.
The girl said that while working at
the Mullikin Hotel she became very
intimate with Sam Mullikin. She said
that she had been taken to his home
on East Second street on last Satur
day where she was locked in room
by a friend of Mullikin's Joseph Braz-
Ter and kept from that time until
Tuesday when she was taken to Rip
ley in a buggy by the two men. The
men left her at the hotel and told her
they would return.
After the officials had heard the
girls story they secured warrants and
notified the Ripley police that the men
were wanted, They were placed I'M

AUTQ-MAKING IN WAR.

They are considering the discon- tinuance of making pleasure cars dur ing the war, according to reports from Washington.
 This is some.hin., that has been under consideration" ever since the war started and does not seem to be borne out by tho probabilities.
 The Ford auto plant, to mention one, has constructed more cars in October than any month of it's ex- istcncc- sufficient to insure pro. duct1on of 900,000 cars in F months If the piece is continued. Last years production of this plant was 50O,O00. and the year before 3OO,0O0.
 The October production came af- ter MT. Ford had offered his plant to the government for any capacity in which it could be used. The fact that the plant was not accepted in it's entirely by the government seems to Indicate that there are enough plants busy turning but supplies of war without curtailing the production of auto cars to any extent.

WHAT IS FAMINE AND WILL WE
 FEEL ITY

Herbert Quick. federal farm loan commissioner, does not think famine consists of land barren Of food he believes conditions of famine exist long before that condition arrives.
 If we mean that country is ia. mine-stricken only when it is entirely barren of of food," says NIT. Quick, "then there never has been famine in any country. The people with plen- ty of money in every country have al ways been able to get food no mat ter how great the famine.
 The rich in Ireland not only had food during the worst of the Irish famine, but food was exported. India also exported some food throughout, all her famine periods. No. all that is meant by famine is that the price of food has, reached such a level as to put 1t out of the reach of the mass of the people,"
 MT. Quick has touched live topic in a live way. If the price of milk goes up so high that thousands of poor families must discontinue It's plenteous use, 1t means that thous- ands of babies will suffer from mal- nutrition. If the cost of necessities goes to such heights as to force re- cuced use by hundreds of thousands of people, it means that a species of maluntricion has already set in. and if persisted in, can only result in maldevelopment.
 It is therefore essential, as MT, Quick likewise says. that we must iu the next year mobilize armies of we'll trained and disciplined forces to take bcer our uncultivated lands and cul- tivate them. In this way, Mir. Quick points out. tremendous increases can be effected to the crops of the nation. It is really criminal to see so much productive land idle when the world so urgently requires all it can pro- ducc.
