GRAND JURY INSPECT JAIL

townsville, Tenn, Jan. 81, 1917
We, the undersigned members of the
grand jury, having been instructed by
your honor that one of our duties was
to look into the matter as to how the
county Jail, work house or county
asylum are being kept, hereby report
as follows:
That we have made personal in
spection of these places and find that
the same are kept in first class con-
dition, and thoroughly sanitary. The
recent improvements made at the Jail,
which were ordered by the county
court, by the installation of bath tubs
with hot and cold water attachments,
enables the jailer, to give the inmates
or prisoners first class attention We
find, after examination that the in
mates of the poor house, and the pris-
oners at the work house are well taken
care of and provided for, which we
think reflects credit on the manage
ment of these institutions

we may be so fortunate, will be met
by packed houses.

religious heathenism was merciless.
The junk and pretense and self-illu-

us, and we stood before the Master
once more and heard him say that life

having others serve us, but in a glo-
rious giving of ourselves to others.
In the afternoon we were reminded
of how many big men this country

supreme want is in just men, big
men, men like Sam Davis and Robert

Comparatively little fighting ac-

French troops kept to their trenches

Additional rain over this region

BAKING INDUSTRY ,
WILL Be REGULATED
PLANS ON FOOT TO CONTROL
BREAD PRODUCTION AND
DISTRIBUTION.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.--Early
regulation of the baking industry
was promised last night by Food
Administrator Hoover.
Plans to control bread production
and distribution already are under
consideration and will be put into
operation as soon as bread baking
experiments now being conducted In
several cities are completed. Munich
pal bread depots will be provided II
1t is found that retailers can not
be controlled under voluntary ar
rangement.
The baking industry was left out
OF the general food control law to
be put into effect November l.
If the size of the loaf is to be
standardized, Mr.. Hoover believes
prices can be kept down through
competition, and if the price, on the
other hand, is stabilized he believes
competition will to some extent keep
the size of the loaf from being re-
duced.
If licensing system is put into
effect 1t cannot be made to apply
under the food control act to retailers
and the price will be for bread at
the bakery door. The plan for bread
depots will be put into effect, how
ever. If retailers refuse to coop

WASHINGTON Oct. 12.-Exist-
ence of a general coal shortage was
admitted today by the geographical
survey. which contributes the situe
ton not to the failure of producers
o do their best, but to the unprece
dented demand.
"The tremendous increase in manu-.
featuring and transportation activity
this year. said a statement issued
by the geographical survey has
created demand for soft coal in
excess of any in the past, an in
crease in demand that is difficult
to measure in terms of tons, but
that is certainly more than the 10
percent by which production has in.
creased. To meet this demand the
operators have been mining coal at
rate never before equalled.
"The shortage is not due to the
failure of the soft coal mines to
produce more coal than in the past,
for the country on September l was
about month ahead of last year
in output and is expected to finish
the year with an increase of 10 per
cent over 1916, the banner year. and

SUFFICIENT TONNAGE
At ALLIES DISPOSAL

PARIS, Oct Answering a
question in the chamber of deputies
when he believed the sequestrate on
German shipping in Brazil could be
raised, the minister of provisions re-
piled that he not only hoped, but
believed, that he could assure the
house that sufficient tonnage was
at the disposal of the allies for carry
ing food.
In April Brazil seized German
ships of a tonnage aggregating 24O,-
779. The Brazilian minister of ma
rine announced that he would not
lease German ships to the entente.
