RAISE RABBITS TO
INCREASE MEAT SUPPLY

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 13.-
Rabbits, which have proved a valua-
BILE source of food in Europe during
the present war, may we'll be raised
more extensively in America by way
of reducing the drain on the ordinary
meat supply, according to biologists of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The business of growing rab-
bits, the specialists point out, can be
carried on by youths and adults not
engaged in military or other national
service, or in regular industrial en-
ployment. The animals may be raised
in back yards of cities and towns, as
well as on farms.
The Belgian hare, says statement
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, breeds rapidly, natures
quickly, and produces a palatable and
highly nutritious meat. The cost OF
production is less than that of any
other meat, not excepting poultry. The
supply can be greatly increased with
in a few months, without requiring
space that may be needed for the pro-
duction of crops. Practical experience
has demonstrated that rabbit meat can
be produced in unlimited quantities at
a cost of about cents pound; and
by utilizing lawn cuttings and other
vegetation that would otherwise be
wasted, the cost can be made even
lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat produc-
ton, as the ordinary tame rabbit is
smaller and develops more slowly.
Stock of Belgian hares may be bought
from breeders in nearly all the states
a. 81 to- SO each. They may occas-
ionally be had from pet stock dealers.
Fancy pedigreed stock is not required
for meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay, grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breen when to
10 months old, and during the year
should raise four filters of about six
young each. Well fed, the young reach
marketable age when to months
old, and average from to pounds
live weight.

FUG|T|VES CAME
ALMOST To CITY

That the parties who figured in the
gun fight with Sheriff Phil Coxwell and
his deputies in Lee county Thursday
morning came almost to the city limits
of Americas and stopped for some time
before continuing their flight, has been
developed by Investigations made by
the local authorities.
When the four men with whom
Sheriff Coxwell engaged in the pistol
and shotgun duel had finally escaped
ncrthward on the Smithville road in a
big automobile from which they ex-
changed shots with the pursuing Off
GERS, Sheriff Harvey was notified by
telephone, and he Immediately started
out toward Smithville to intercept the
fugitives.
Nothing was seen of the car nor its
occupants, but later investigation
shows that LEGAL physician was sum-
moned at an early hour Thursday
morning to farmhouse about three
miles from Americas, where he gave
medical attention to man who had
been wounded in the face by small
shot, evidently from a shotgun. Being
entirely ignorant of the battle in Lee
county between the officers and the
liquor runners, suspected nothing
when a plausible explanation of the
wound was givsa.
1t is understood that the party was
from Girard, Ala, and the negro cap
tured by Sheriff Coxwell at Smithville
has given the names of four men whom
he declares were in thee ar chased by
the Lee county authorities.

STATE OF GEORGIA NOT so
BAD OFF AS FIRST THOUGHT

ATLANTA, Ca, July 13.-While the
state of Georgia is not in the very
best of condition financially. it is not
as badly off as preliminary reports Of
tie comptroller general and other Off
Gals indicated, for the reason that
tax values are steadily increasing, in
spite of the war, thanks to the tax
equalization act, and leaders in the
legislature are determined that there
shall be no sacrifice of the states edu-
cational facilities on the plea of war
time necessity.
To starve the younger generation
where food is concerned would be sui
cidal in time of war, as all economists
a gree and as common sense immediate
~ dictates to anyone who thinks a
moment, and the same principle APP
plies to education in the view of the
Representatives and senators who
have set themselves against attempts to
cut down appropriations either for the
common schools or higher institutions
of learning. One of the nations
greatest losses will be that of trained
young men just out of college, and out
of business and professional lines
where efficiency and ability are inval-
liable, and the only possible way to
restore this loss is to provide abund-
ant educational facilities for the
younger generation who will not be
called to war
While Representative Joe Hill Hall,
of Bib, chairman of the appropriation
committee and watch dog of the
treasury" has announced in favor OF
heavy cuts, Representative Fred Nor
ris, chairman of the University OF
Georgia committee of the house. and
others, are preparing to oppose edu-
cational retrenchment to the last

JANINA, GREEK CITY,
SEIZED BY ITALIANS

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10
"The city Of Janina, which Italian
forces operating in Macedonia have
seized as a military necessity, has only
been a Greek possession four years,
says a war geography bulletin issued
today by the National Geographic Sc
ciety from its Washington headquar
tiers. -o~~ s--~
1T was captured from the Turks in
March, 1918, and by the subsequent
treaties of London and Bucharest was
formally ceded to the Greeks.
Situated at the foot of the towering
Mt. Mitzeekeh, on the western shore
of the shallow Lake of Janina, this
city is one of the most historic centers
of population in Greek Epirus. 1t was
for many years a part of the Byzan-
the Empire, but during the eleventh
and twelfth centuries suffered repeat
edly from the raids of Norman adyen-
turers who endeayored to establish in
Greek territory kingdom similar to
that which William the Conqueror
founded in the British Isles.
"One of the most terrible periods of
STEERING and persecution which any city
was ever forced to undergo fell to the
lot of Janina during the latter half of
the fourteenth century when Thomas,
son-in-law of Simon, the brother of the
great Stephen Dushan, of Serbia, held
sway here, pillaging, prosecuting,
binding and saving asunder those who
aroused his wrath. Imp of Darkness
and Son of Satan were two affection
ate epithets which the people connect
ed with his name His people were IL
nally relieved of his cruelties in the
same fashion that Rome was rid of the
monster Tiberius-he was slain in his
bed by four attendants.
"The city passed under the DONNA
tion of Turkey in 1870.

court here in a fashion almost as
sumptuous as did the Sultan at Con-

coo inmates of his harem.
MANY and varied are the stories

GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, July 16.-There was very
little trade in wheat. Until govern
ment regulations become known after
the passage Of the food bill, opera
tons in the wheat market will be very
limited.
Corn-After a steady opening,
pressure on corn increased and there
was a sharp reaction. The buying de-
mand appears to have fallen down
materially and outside buying has
been light while there has been influ-
ceipts moderate and the cash market
remains relatively firm. On the other
hand cropsreports are more favorable
with further rains in the southwest.
The crop Is still slate but in most sec
tions is making good progress. The
situation is puzzling and irregular
markets are toybe expected.
