10 Good Reasons
Why We Should Make Millions of Dollars
For Our Stockholders

we have patented processes for utilizing
millions of tons of sugar cane waste and
rice straw now regarded as refuse by the
sugar mill and the rice planter.
we can get this raw material at very low
cost.
our processes are so inexpensive that TAX
ing raw material, labor and overhead to-
gether, the estimated cost is only 50. so per
ton of raw material handled.
the products we make should be worth at
least S32.5O per ton, or net profit of s23
per ton of raw material handled, on the
very lowest estimates.
our first mill will ultimately be able to
handle 800 tons per day. There are 800
working days in the year. Figure it out
for yourself what our net profit should be
on each mill at an estimated profit of S23
per ton. And so mills could be eStab-
liShed and kept busy.

SUCCESSES REPORTED BY BRIT,
IsH, BUT GERMANS DENY.
Violent Artillery DueIs Continue Along
Aisne Front-Russian Troops on ;
Offensive in Chotin Region.

London, Aug. 10.-Flanders, where
the big guns have been booming in
cessantly since rain stopped the Allied
offensive last week, again has been
the scene of infantry fighting, but only
on a small scale.
Near the coast the British have suo-
cessfully raided German lines near
Lombaartzyde. Berlin describes this
operation as an attack in force which
it says the Germans beat off in hand
to hand fighting. The Teutons also
record the repulse of local British at
tacks in the Bixschoote region between
Dixmude and Ypres.
Crown Prince Quiet.
Along the Aisne front and on the
right bank Of the Mouse, northwest of
Verdun, violent artillery activity con-
tinues on both sides. The German
Crown Prince has not followed up his
attacks on the Aisne front where he
was repulsed can of Vauxaillon and
west Of the California plateau.
Russian troops are on the offensive
in the Chotin region on the Russo
Gallcian border, northeast of CZern0-
WITT, and have withstood successfully
Austro-German thrusts in the region
of Brody, in Galicia, northeast of Lem
berg. The Russian forward movement
west of Chotin resulted in the capture
of two villages and height. The
Austro-Germans lost 800 prisoners and
four machine guns.

STEEL MAKERS TO CLASH

Company at Bethlehem Refuses to

Fixed by Department.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The Bethle-

to be paid for steel rails for use in
France.
The steel company refused to sup
ply these rails at rates quoted by Sec-
rotary of War Baker and the matter
is now under negotiation.
Secretary Baker said today the
Bethlehem order was small compared
to the total output of the plant, and
denied that there was any relation be-
tween a decline in the Bethlehem
shares and the controversy with the
department.
1t is understood that Bakers price
was $40, whereas the steel company
wanted considerably more.

DIRECTS LOCAL BOARDS TO IRE.
DUCE DISCHARGES FOR DE-
TENDENCY TO FAR MORE
RESTRICTED GLASS;"
SAYS CLAIMS OF MANY
REGISTRANTS UNFOUNDED
Unfair Advantage Being Taken Of Ex
emption Provisions Threatens to
Seriously Interfere With Raising
of Army-claims Reach 80 Per
Cent in Some Districts.

Washington, Aug. IL. - Wholesale
claims for exemption from the army
draft, reported from many sections,
caused Provost Marshal General Crow
der to telegraph to the governors Of
the state directing that local boards
"reduce discharges for dependency to
a far more restricted class and to very
necessitious and clearly defined cir
cumstances." In some districts as high
as 80 per cent Of the registrants call
ed for examination are filing claims for
discharge on the ground of dependent
relatives. Such condition indicates,
General Crowder said, that unfair ad-
vantage is being taken of the regula-
lions designed to protect men who
properly should be exempted from mill
itary service and actually threatens to
Interfere seriously with the raising of
the national army.
Remedy Lies With Local Boards.
In his message General Crowder
says:
TT is true that cases Of discharge
on the ground Of dependency are ap-
pealed to the district board, but this
clause is only inserted to secure uni
formity of action.
"District boards are to examine
these cases to discover departures
from the law, regulations and rulings.
and they will not and cannot open
every case on it's merits. It is in the
local boards alone, therefore, that the
solution of the difficulty and the pro-
lection Of deserving claimants lies."

Washington, Aug. 10.-More than
100000 men of the selective draft
forces will be called to the colors
their divisional training environments.
This will bring the strength of the
United States army on that date up
to practically 100000 men.
Brigadier General Crowder, provost
marshal general, dispatched the fol-
lowing telegram to the governors of
the states yesterday morning caution
ing them to make certain that the first
one-third of their quota of the first
increment of registered men is ready
in time:
New regulations governing mobili-
cation and the certifcation of men
from district boards to aqjutant gen.
erals will be mailed you August 9. In
the meantime, local boards should GER
tify to district boards daily those who
have been called and who have not
been exempted or discharged either
because they failed to file any claim
or because their claim has been de.
cided adversely.
"Strict compliance with this rule is
necessary since on September 1 the
War department will call for not to
exceed one-third of the quota from
each state to be entrained for mobili-
cation camps between September 1
and September 5. Unless we wish to
be put in position of not furnishing
men as fast as the War department
should have accumulated by Septem-
Der / a minimum of one-third of it's
quota not exempted or discharged.
This can only be obtained if local
boards certify these lists up with great
expedition
