Big Lumber Plant to
 Be Erected at LOmax

Clanton, January 19-(Special)-Th Vide Lumber company. owners of the timber privilege on 1S,0OO acres of pine lands in the eastern section of Chiffon county, Will build mills at Lomax, three miies north of Clanton, and will complete the remaining 10 miles of track for it's narrow guage railroad from the timber to Lomax. These plans were decided upon owing to the fact that there is already a road bed which was built 12 years ago by an ore mining company and the Vida company can save grading by using this route to Lomax
 Buslness men of Clanton made strong effort to land this mill, but an already constructed road bed was the odds against them.
 Work has commenced on repairing and making ready for this immense milling plant at Lomax

SENDING BACK INFORMATION
FROM PATROLS.

Patrol work calls for the exercise Of
more faculties perhaps than any other
form Of duty. Not only the young sol
dier's muscles, tut his head also must
be exceedingly active. He has many
things 10 remember, much to watch out
for, and must be able to transmit such
pieces of information as he gains. The
country must be carefully observed.
When a hill Is TO be passed over, the
region beyond should first be observed
by one man; In the same way, houses
or Enclosures should be approached by
a single man or avoided entirely. This
for the reason that one man Is dis
tlnctly less likely to be seen than the
patrol as q whole, but what is more to
the point, the guard, encountering dan
ger, would be able to warn the main
body before Ii fell into a trap. Woods
should generally be reconnoitered In a
thin sEirmish line. This serves as a
big rake, of which each man is a
tooth, for combing the thicket.
Patrol leaders, and the men as well,
should know the uniforms, guidons and
other insignia of the enemy. This will
help in determining the class of troops
sighted when no other means are avail
able.
Patrol leaders should send back Inn
portant information as soon as 1t is
gained unless the patrol itself is to re-
turn at once. In any case, 1t is the
duty of the lender TO. send reports to
his commander with sufficient fire.
quency to keep the commander in
formed as to his whereabouts and what
he is accomplishing.
The information, If written, should
be signed by the leader, and should
state the place, date, hour and minute
Of its dispatch. If this does not seem
requisite TO the young soldier, Ii must
at all times be borne In mind that the
commander is continually receiving in
formation from other sources--other
patrols. probably, and that he assem-
bles and pieces together all that he OBJ
tains. The hour and minute when the
information was gained may furnish
the commander with a clue to whole
series of other facts which have been
reported before. but which he was I'M
able to interpret.

After deciding which class OF feed
to purchase the percentage OF the
above ingredients in the different feeds
on the market should be carefully stud
led. The amount of protein may be
given in percentage, In which case the
figure given represents the actual num-
Der of pounds of protein per 100 pounds
of feed. Often the amount OF protein
Is given In terms of nitrogen. Protein
contains Is per cent OF nitrogen. and
In such cases the amount of nitrogen
should be multiplied by 6.25 to give
the amount of protein. For example.
If feed contains per cent of nitro
gen, the protein-c0ntent would be GO
by Z, or 1915 pounds of protein per
100 pounds of feed. Again the protein
may be stated in terms of ammonia,
in which case the amount of ammonia
should be multiplied by 5.15. For eX-
ample, if u feed contains Z per cent OF
ammonia, it will have 5.15 by Z, or
1905 pounds of protein per 100 pounds.
The amount of carbohydrates pres
ent are usually given as nitrogen-free
extract, and the fat as other extracts.
For feeding purposes fat is two and
one-fourth times as valuable as car
bohydrates, (nitrogen-free extracD.
Thus If feed contains 20 per cent of
nitrogen-free extract and 2 per cent
of ether extract (fat) the total amount
of fat-forming material present would
be OBS by ., or As. plus 40, or 74.5 in

often be found that the feeding stuff
