An S00-pound mule can be produced
at net profit of $29. A 1,1OO-pound
mule can be producted at a net profit
of $35. The 1,25O-pound mule can be
produced at a net profit of SIS.
These are actual results obtained by
the Mississippi experiment station
after several years of worn ia breeding
mules.
This 1,2j0-pound mule, the large,
high-selling mule, can not be produced
from the ordinary light native mares,
no matter what kind of a jack is used.
Prepare to add from SIS to $26 per

are producing by bettering your mares

They can be graded up quite rapidly.

INES WERE OUT LOOK.
ING FOR SHIPS

Washington, July 4.-The unsuc-
cessful submarine attacks on the ship
of the American expeditionary force
has revived spy rumors in the capital
and will result in ever more stringent
measures, if possible, to cloak the
movements of military forces from the
enemy.
The relief and qualification of Off
Gals over the safe arrival of the last
units of the expedition is tempered
by manifest feeling of indignation
that the German admirilty was able
to lay its plans so well and to attack
the American vessels in force before
they reached the zone which had been
regarded as most dangerous.
Discussion of possible spy activities
took many agles today Some Off
cials were inclined to- believe that the
Germans must have had warning of
the definite time agreed upon for the
crossing, but others discredited any
such theory, arguing that an attack
was to have been expected as nat
ural consequence of the general knowl
edge, that was common property.

no MORE RECRUITS
IN ARTILLERY WANTED

The officers at headquarters at
Fort 0glethorpe Tuesday morning re-
ceived a dispatch from the war de-
partment with instructions to enlist
no more recruits for the field artillery
branch of the service. which is now
at full war strength, a fact that is
very gratifying. The instructions
stated that the infantry still lack 50,-
900 of being at war strength, and all
recruits now enlisted will be for the
infantry branch.
All those enlisted for the field artil-
lery before the full quota was reach
ed and who have not yet been assign
ed will not be affected by the new
order, and will remain in the branch
of their preference as surplus.

SOME PLEASANT FACTS

/ The Liberty Loan of 1917 was a
great success in whatever aspect it
is considered. The government call
ed for two billion dollars and over
three billion dollars was subscribed
for by more than four million people.
This large subscription and this great
number of subscribers were obtained
after short campaign, from a Ma
ton that as a people were not accus-
toned to purchasing government
bonds. The spirit with which vast
numbers of citizens and organizations
worked to make the loan a success is
not an unimportant element in max
ing the loan not merely a success but
a triumph.
1t should be remembered too, that
the bond issue of other nations were
sold when the foe was either on their
territory or at their very gates. Our
bonds were sold when danger was far
from us. There was no duress, there
was no hysteria, and there was but
little war spirit. The bonds were
bought in the calm exercise of patri-
otism and sound business judgement
after a campaign of education and in
formation.
Richmond, Va, the old capital of
the Confederacy. bought Liberty
Bond for every five inhabitants. Mon
tana in the far West. largely exceeded
its quota of bonds. Little villages all
over the country exceeded their quo
tas as the metropolis of the country
greatly exceeded its. There was hard
ly state, city, or community that did
tions, recent great fire, and other
local causes resulted in two districts
falling little below their allotments
but the large oversubscription every
where else more than made up for this
unavoidable deficiency. Cities with
large foreign-born populations sub
scribed as liberty as others.
The united spirit of the American
people, the solidarity of the Nation,
made up as it is of people from all
nations, have been demonstrated.
second loan is contemplated with
in the next few months. The same
things that made the initial loan of
two billion dollars a success will oper
ate to make the new one equally sue
cessful. In fact, the information re-
garding government bonds and finan- !
ces now possessed by the people of
The country will make the placing of
the next issue of bonds less difficult.
Those subscriptions of the first issue
who were not allotted their full sub
scriptions will give the new issue a
start of more than a billion dollars, J
since it may be regaIde as certain
that they will not lose the opportunity
to obtain the amount of government |
bonds desired.

How the cost of shells to the Brit
ish Government was reduced % per
cent to 80 per cent is a story of deep
interest to the American nation. When
Mr.. Samuel II. Lever assumed his du.
ties as Minister of Munitions, one OF
the first things he did was to inquire
about the price paid for shells. He
says, 1T rather developed that the
prices being paid were what had been
paid before, and that no information
was in the Department making the
contracts as to the actual COst--as to
what value you were getting for what
you were paying"
He set to work, with the aid of ac,
countants, to determine the cost of the
various shells. The big armament
firms were then confronted with these
costs, with the result that the price OF
shells was Immediately cut down 25
per cent to 80 per cent.
Next, the Government shell factorie
were the subject of investigation by Mr..
Lever. Quoting again from his state
ments: "In order that we might see
just exactly what these factories were
doing we instituted a cost system in
each of these factories by which VIC
get the cost of each she'll"
. AS reward for his splendid work OF
efficiency, Mr.. Lever had been knight,
ed by the English Government. 1t is
the duty of every American farmer to
make his business just as efficient 4
business as possible. There is no way
in which he can assist his country

the congregation of which on Sunday
adopted resolutions offering willingly
to divide grain supplies with Ameri-
provided that the consumption of grain
for alcoholic spirits be prohibited.
A copy of these resolutions sent to
Washington are in part as follows:
with particular reference to the
plea of our president and our govern
ment that we make special effort to-
ward conserving all grain and food
supplies, we declare that we are ready
to share with Great Britain, France
Russia, Italy and Greece, and also
with those European states which
have been, and that may continue,
truly neutral, our supplies of food
stuffs.
provided, that our own govern
ment shall by law, or by executive
order, prevent the consumption of
grain and molasses in the distillation
of Intoxicating liquors and the brew
ing of malt liquors; but we declare
our unalterable opposition to denying
ourselves food while our government
permits any part of 100,O0O,O0O bush
els of grain and 75O0OO0O gallons of
molasses to be worse than wasted in
the manufacture of liquors and beers.
LAS between whiskey and beer for
the self-indulgent, and bread and meat
for ourselves and for the hungry
abroad, we prefer wheat before whis-
ey and bread before beer.
I'VE direct the pastor of our church
to furnish a copy of this resolution to

the Liberty Loan Bonds. Through
their efforts more than $25, 200, 900 Of

many sales were due indirectly to
their activity can not be known.
