Every effort is being made to rid
the camp of this menace. The water
supply is being carefully watched.
Il am very much pleased with this
camp" said Major Ekwurzel. "Of

to deal with. 1t will take some time
to get everything in ship shape.
Every effort will be put forth to keep
tie health standard in Camp Niagara
up to the highest point" ..a..
Several carloadstof medicinal sup
plies have been ordered. Some have
arrived and the hospital is ready to
meet any emergency. The camp is
having some difficulty in getting sup-
pies, as there are no adequate trans
portation facilities. The meat prob
lem is difficult one The greater
part of the meat has been supplied
by Youngstown dealers, but owing
to the high prices and the limited
supply the commissary department
has had to make purchases in Buffalo
and Niagara Falls. An enormous
amount of beef is being used in
camp.
The mess being furnished to the
rockies is appetizing and substantial.
There is not q man in camp COM
planning about the food which is
served. The mess will improve as the
facilities for cooking are installed.

LIQUOR BANNED
FROM OFFICERS
TRAINING CAMP
Gen. Bell Prohibits Booze
Drinking at Madison
Barracks

Madison Barracks, n. y, May
16. - General Franklin J. Bell, COM
mander of the Eastern Department,
visited the Officers Training Camp
here yesterday and issued decree
eliminating all drinking within the
camp. In addition, he instructed the
regular army officers in charge of
ing officer all violations of this rule.
In every instance where drinking is
discovered the man will be sum-
marily dismissed from camp. One
man was court -martialed and sent
home to-day for reporting to his
company officer in an intoxicated
condition. His place will be filled by
a prospective officer who, will be
more honor to the service.
General Bell reached camp Just
before retreat. All companies were
called out and stood at attention
while salute of thirteen guns was
rendered to the general in honor of
his rank.
The reserve officers who hold COM
missions will be reduced to the ranks
in order that all the men
in cam pmay have the opportunity
of getting the experience in COM
manding men that will count in pre-
pairing thirty per cent. of the enroll
ment of the fourteen training camps
to drill the first increment of draftees
that will be ordered into camp in
August.
Raw winds prevail on the shores
of Lake Ontario and the temporary
barracks in which the men are quar-
tered are none too warm. Grumbling
i'll BELTS prospective officers, how
ever, and all accept the situation
stoically. The preparations for the
camp have been carried out splen-
didly and every company headquar-
ters, fitted out with modern lighting
and telephone systems, is an import
ant link in the preparedness chain
which is tightening about the United
States.
Every man in camp who is moi
an officer was required to take the
oath of allegiance to the United
States of America to-day and the
next step will be to preclude all pos
sibility of disease by giving the en-
tire camp doses of antitoXin agains
typhoid and smallpox. No smoking
is permitted in any of the buildings
and every care is being taken to de-
velop the discipline and esprit dt
corps that has made West Point the
marvel of many nations.

of sorghum molasses was shipped

carload to leave here within the past

ment, it is understood. brought about
five cents more per gallon than the

due County Farm Agent Bell who
also had the aid and the beentit of

of the A. & II. College. Mr.. Mckay
has been developing the market and
sale business for the farmers for sew

two to four thousand gallons. There
was never before so much Of it raised

stood that there VIII be several CO.
operative shipments soon. the first
one on the nth inst. Sorghum is
going to bring in a handsome revenue
to the farmer this season. Let the

Grenada county and of Mississippi
are getting good prices for every
thing and the harvest has indeed been
bountiful and unquestionably they
should. and undoubtedly are. in a

DR.. SAM sTEELE'S LECTURE.

According to announcement, DR..
Sam Steele, character well known
throughout the South, indeed, almost
a national figure, came back to his
own on Wednesday evening and de-
livered his famous lecture, "The
Pioneers of MethodisR" to crowded
audience at the Methodist church.
'TheDoctor evidently did mot follow
in detail his theme, yet what he said
fitted in and suited the audience and
the occasion perhaps better. He laid
much stress upon the old-time Meth
odist circuit rider and gave him a
large share of the credit for the
stability of the fathers of the present
generation and for the abiding spirit
of veneration and Christ-life that has
permeated the land. The Doctor
seemed skeptical about some things
of the present day, yet he took con-
ISOLATION in the history of the past and
seemed to think that out Of it all the
glory of God would be made more
manifest and that greater degree of
religious freedom and civic liberty
would come to all the nations of the
earth.
His picture of the ships, represent
ing the Methodist. Baptist, Episcopal
ian and Presbyterian churches, afloat
on the great ocean of life, was beau
tiful and almost sublime. He said
all the churches were doing work
that pleased God and that there was
room on the ocean for all of them
that they were all under one great
captain and headed for the same har-
Dor and that when they reached there
! he said that there would be very few
questions asked about the name on
the kind of ship one came on.
| He is a master of English. There
is luxury in all of his figures and
Illustrations that appeals to the aes'
thetic, cultured mind, yet at the same
time there is humor and simplicity
that can not fail to please all. i
was an evening of good seed sowing
in Grenada.
DR.. Steele was born near Sprins
Hill church, this county. He is ;
first cousin of Mrs. H. B. Peacocl
and a second cousin of Messrs. E. A
and w. E. Penn in Grenada.
