CONSERVATION

American troops in the trenches
are using French 75's when they find
it necessary to send shell in reply
to those they receive. Men in the
training camps complain that army
rifles cannot be built fast enough to
supply the demand. Now big and lit
tie guns must be provided In reserve
behind the firing line there must be
parks of munitions. When we read
that hundreds of big guns are taken
with each shifting of the positions
we are not to understand that some
thing has been lost or gained except
in a technical sense-when tons o1
shells are fired each day a CUR
doesn't last long, and the worn pieces
are not worth the cost of removal
In a measure the same is true of the
army rifies-each piece suffers by ex
posure to the weather and by exces
sive use.

NO STAMPS ARE REQUIRED

gagged in this line Of business. State

an erroneous impression, which some
have gained regarding this special
phase of the revenue bill.
Many people are under the i'm
preston that stamps are to be affixed
to insurance policies, but such is not
the case-the tax is simply to be as
scssed on the returns made by those
engaged in this line of business, and
is effective from Nov. l, 1917" he
said.

Florida Offers A Fine Opp0r-
tunity To Cattle Raiser

Jacksonville, Nov. 6.-Great op-
portunity for hog and cattle raising
is offered around Jacksonville, and
that many people will settle here
from other parts of the country this
year to engage in this industry seems
largely probable. Hogs now can be
raised in certain parts of Jackson.
vile, and certainly to good advan-
tage on the outskirts of the city
Following is what the Manufaetu-
rers' Record has to say about the in
dustry:
Probably the most startling sig
nificant situation in regard to the
food supply ofthe country is found
in the fact that we now have S.3 per
; cent less hogs than We had one year
ago. Then we had 65,645,O00 hogs,
now We have 6O,21S,OOO, decrease
of over 100000.
During this time our population
increased 1 1-2 per cent, or more
and Europe's demand upon us for
pork has steadily and enormously
gained, and yet we have actually
S.3 per cent less hogs than we had a
year ago.
This is especially significant in
view of tho great effort that wa:
made last year to arouse the nation
to the raising of more hogs, for th'
number of hogs can be increased
more rapidly than the number o
cattle or sheep. But despite thi
there was a great decrease, and thi
decrease extended throughout almos
the entire country, except in parts o
the South. The South helped tc saw
the situation. There was a decreas
in the rest of the country of 1856,
600 hogs, or about 10 per cent. II
the South, with the exception o
Texas and Oklahoma, there was de
crease of only $4,000 hogs, o
about 2.5 per cent. But, countin
Texas and Oklahoma in the tota
this gave the South 24,61O,O00 hog
against 26,OS2,OOO last year, o
1,472,00O hogs less this year
"The United States on Sept ha
e only 81 per cent as many hoes a
we had year before.
Mississippi made the largest in
crease, with gain of per cent
! Outside of the South there wa
not a single state which did not hav
'' decrease except Delaware, whic
increased per cent, and Minnesot;

no need to ask anything of the war
department, and should not do so
while conditions remain as they are.
II the state prefers, it can buy cheap
ly, and in any quantity, rifles lately
discarded by the government of quail
ity amply good enough for all our
purposes.
Congressman Drane has obtained
from the war department FIVE hun
dred army rifles. and some ill-feeling
is aroused when these are distribu-
ted locally. In the first place, no
feeling should be aroused. but we
would suggest that these be consid.
cred the property Of the state rather
than of one district; it would be well
, to have our Home Guard handle
these by turns, so that all may grow
| familiar with their mechanism and
use, but each company should own
rifles and other weapons peculiarly
the property of its members, which
should be inspected often and kept
, always at hand and in good order. in
"a riot it is often an advantage to
have company assemble at point
near the scene of disturbance instead
of losing time by going to and from
the armory. Indeed, each head Of q
house hold should keep at least one
serviceable weapon with an abun
dance of ammunition in these times
