RAIDED TWICE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 49, Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day British troops
in Flanders are still being kept in
their trenches while heavy lombard
ment of German positions continues.
General Haig's report today throws lit
tie li9ht on when the next attack may
be expected, as he merely mentioned
chose points where the German reci-
procal fire is heaviest, and reported
raids on the Arras front
{ EInfantry lighting occurred on the
French 'front.' but apparently, not on
large scale5
The Germans and French continue to
be engaged in the usual heavy air
fighting, and SO far this week thirty
six German machines have been either
brought down, destroyed or badly dam-
aged. German air squadrons raided
Nancy two night in succession.

CONF|sCATE THREE
TRUNKS Of BOOZE

ADDRESSED. a

Three trunks full of booze were
seized at the seaboard depot yester-
day afternoon by Sheriff Harvey aad
members of the police force m
Two of the trunks contained twen-
ty quarts each OF Black Label whisky.
The other was filled with beer.
When one of the bottles sof liquor
broke railroad nenaat Cordele made
the discovery and wired to ;Americps,
the destination Of the trunks. In con-
sequence the officers here were wait
ing.
The Trunks were, not addressed to
any one and no one appeared TO
claim them A curious feature was
that on one Of the trunks were the mi,
tials of prominent Americus mar,
but this is thought to have been sim
ply coincidence.
Sheriff Harvey took the booze to
the courthouse and destroyed it. 1t
was the largest haul made by !, the
officers here since "bone-dry" prohi-
bition went into effect.

Old Iron Juuk on Farms
Is Worth Its Weight Noto

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 1S.--Mr. Farmer
gather up the old iron scraps on your
farm and sell them to the nearest junk
dealer Make him pay you a good
price, for scrap iron is more valuable
now than it was ever before in the
1oountry's history.
The shortage in the supply Of iron
and steel which this country must sup
ply to win the war has developed a
new source OF income for the farmer
and not merely a source Of income.
but also way to render a patriotic
service to the govtrnment.
The United States Geological Survey,
through the state geological depart
ment Of Georgia, calls the attention Of
farmers to the fact that even at the.
recently fixed prices of iron and steel
they can reap an overlooked profit by
gathering UP all their scraps and sell.
ing them to the junk dealer.
