THE TREND OF THE TIMES

In all branches of business, either
commercial or those of amusement, i'm
posing magnitude is sought as a neces-
sary appeal to the public for the be-
stowal of patronage. The business
mar who buys in large quantities and
offers the best goods-and more of
them-for the least money, will by the
Universal laws of nature ultimately
obtain control Of the line in which he
deals.
Following the same line of argument
to a parallel conclusion, in the show
business, the w. l. Swain Show Co.,
may be cited as having achieved a like
result by their adoption of methods by
which patrons are given a maximum
of value for a minimum price. Just
picture for yourself three thousand
care-worn, work surfeited show fans
assembled in the big brilliantly light
ed Swain Show tent, all enjoying a
good show at a trifing price of adj
mission, and you have the answer
SUCCESS.
The W. 7. Swain Shows r due
in Brownville for a week Of clean, up
to-the-minute repertoire of dramatic
and musical revue offerings, commene-
ing Monday night, October 10.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COLORED
MEN TO SERVE COUNTRY

All units in the army heretofore
open to colered men have been filled
to war strength except a very few in
the medical department, and the re-
Gently authorized stevedore regiments,
quartermaster corps, national army.
The stevedore regiments offer high
inducements to colored men. The work
consists Of loading vessels in harbors
Of the United States to carry food and
munitions to the allies in France, and
the service is not dangerous to life or
limb. The enlistment is for the dura-
ton of the war. The government fur
nishes all clothing, food and lodging
and in addition pays as lowest wage
$50 per month, and if merit is shown
higher wages. The entire salary may
easily be saved or sent home to fami-
lies. Men from 10 to 40 years of age
may enlist.
Opportunity to enlist in stevedore
regiments must be taken advantage Of
Immediately, as they are limited in
number to those authorized and are
rapidly filling up to war strength, af-
ter reaching which no further enlist
ments can be had. Only a few colored
men in the Memphis district can take
advantage of enlistment in the medi-
cal department.

The FRENCH ORPHANS

Poor children! We haven't any idea
Of hardships in any part of our Won
derful America compared to what
brave little France has now been en-
during for years. And the heaviest
sorrow with her is, as it would be
with us, if we we're in such straits,
the uncomfortable woe and suffering
through which her children are having
to pass. In Poland, as we learned a
year ago, there are now no more chill
dren under seven years old. They
starved and died. In France, so far,
they have been kept alive. But they
are orphaned, underfed, frightened,
many Of them deaf from shell-shock,
and thousands of them driven from
their homes. Something had to be
done Happily a society has Ueen or
ganized to care for them in a system

thing is so well arranged that anyone
who is willing to assume the support
Of a child, may receive a letter from a
child which will be assigned to him.
Many people in America now are in
correspondence with their French fos-
ter-children. 1t is not possible for all
to contribute so generously however,

Platinum is very scarce metal in
the United States and is in great
demand in the manufacture Of war
munitions. The worlds supply of
platinum has come largely from the
Russian Ural mountains. In 1916
Alaska produced about fifteen ounc-
es. Seven hundred fifty Troy ounc-
es constitute the largest production
of the metal in the United States,
whereas Russia, before the outbreak
of the war, produced as high as
100000 ounces per annum.

HEADING RIGHT

Elaborate and comprehensive pre-
cautions are being taken by the War
department, to prevent waste in the
army environments, which will soon
contain over two million men.
In the feeding of the men, waste
will be minimized through the fact
that the food will be prepared under
the direction of mess cooks, who will
be trained by special courses in
army cooking schools.
At each cantonment the wastes
will be collected and transported to
a single transfer station" Steril-
lied cans will be used. At the sta
ton, the wastes will be turned over
to a contractor, for removal to a
point three miles distant from the
reservation. Here the wastes will
be sorted. The bottles are steril-
lied and sold for commercial use.
Tin cans are baled and the solder,
tin and iron reclaimed. Paper
which is estimated at five tons per
day, will be baled. Bones will be
kept separate and ground for fertil-
izer. The hides of dead animals
will be removed and the carcasses
reduced" for grease and fertilizer.
1t is estimated that there are
twelve hundred animals at each cam
Torment producing 100 tons IF man
ure per day. At the date Of the
report, this manure from eleven
environments had been sold for the
sum of $240,900 annually
The greatest element Of saving is
through the garbage. This has
been sold for an annual price of
S446,394.50. The garbage from
thirteen environments will be used
for feeding swine. |. is estimated
on the basis of experiments conduct
ed at the Chillicothe cantonment,
that the garbage waste from ten to
sfteen men will feed one hog and
enable it to add 20 it's weight one
pound per day. At this rate, the
garbage from these thirteen canton
'nents will produce annually 1880
900 pounds of pork. When not used
for feeding, the garbage will be re-
duced, that is, cooked at nigh tenn
perature, the grease extracted, and
the remainder ground and ;.sed for
fertilizer or feeds. BY the method
of incineration formerly in use, all
the valuable waste materials were
destroyed.

mencement of the war. Critical, in
deed, has the condition become in
our country 1t is reported that
many Russian banks, which made
high loans on the output of Ural
mountain mines, hold large quanti-
ties of platinum, which may now be
handed over to the Germans.
The war uses of platinum include
the manufacture of sulphuric acid
and the completion of contact points
of the ignition system of airplanes,
automobiles, telephone and tele-
graph instruments.
Substitutes have been found for
making sulphuric acid, but platinum
continues to be indispensable for
the other uses.

WHY WE ARE FIGHTING

A number of American statesmen
and officials have offered explana-
tions for the participation of the
United States in the war against
Germany, and while all agree, in a
general way, none has put forward
an explanation equaling that of our
president, contained in his reply to
the peace proposal of Pope Bene-
dict When Americans desire know
why we are fighting and how long
we are likely to continue fighting, a
reading of the presidents note will
quickly inform them. 'The object
of this war;" wrote President Will
son, sis to deliver the free peoples
of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military
establishment, controlled by an ir-
responsible government which, hav-
ing secretly planned to dominate the
world, proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the
sacred obligations of treaty or the
ong-established practices and long
cherished principles of international
action and honor; delivered its blow
fercely and suddenly; stopped at no
barrier either of law or of mercy;
swept a whole continent within the
tide of blood, not the blood of
soldiers only, but the blood of in
nocent women and children also and
of the helpless poor; and stands
baked but not defeated, the enemy
of four-fifths of the world"
