new AERIAL TORCH
Enables Scout to Make 0bserva-
tiOnS at Night.
Capable Of Illuminating Battlefield.
Protecting Itself, Finally ExpIod-
ing With Terrific Effect

Prominent military officers have e.
pressed their approval of fiaring
torch, the late development of Texas
inventor, that is primarily designed to
enable an aerial scout to make obssr-
Vations behind enemy lines at night.
The instrument has a number OF
ingenious features, and as whole
the earmarks of being not only an ef-
fective, but also a destructive wea-
pom. Ii is potentially capable of brill
iantly Illuminating a considerable
area OF battlefield for period Of ten
minutes, formidably protecting itself
against disturbance In the meantime.
and finally exploding. destroying what
ever may be within 80 or 40 feet.
1t has three major parts. The base
consists of pointed cone that houses
a heavy bomb. On one side of this Il
fixed a cylinder holding q quantity OF
powder for printing purposes. At the
middle, radlating In all directions :
couple of feet from the bottom, are 85
rifle barrels arranged In tiers of seven.
Surmounting these Is a tank contain
Ing special powder that gives of an
intense light when ignited. Gaping
the top is parachute-shaped reflector
that serves the double function OF
properly distributing the light rays
and in degree breaking the fall OF
the torch, which is supposed to be
dropped from an airplane.
In its present form the apparatus
weighs 3S pounds, and 1t Is estimated
that three or four like 1t could be con-
veniently carried by military biplane.
AS needed, they would be released by
the observer so as to strike desired
points within the enemy's lines. The
device is balanced so that 1t falls point
down, and from average Aai ght will
penetrate the ground for distance or
about foot, thus firmly anchoring It.
self.
The resulting impact discharges
percussion cap that ignites the cyiin-
der of priming powder. This touches
off the Illuminating substance and L.
mites series of time fuses connectina
each Of the rifles. While the torch
flares brightly, throwing its light In all
directions across field. the rifles dia
charge one after the other, making any
attempt to overturn 1t exceedingly
hazardous. At the same time that
the light extlnguishes itself fuse
leading to the bomb In the base is
lighted. The explosion Of the latter
demolishes the torch and does damage
to anything near 1t.

one in New Jersey, but II the war lasts
long enough it may be, as 1t is In Can-
ada now, that the banks will virtually

Already, 1t is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States entered
the war, last April.
1t will not be decidedly new field

There was another game play
ed between the same teams at
Rutledge on November 3 in
which the score was 27 to II
in favor of the Rutledge boys.
So it will take another game to
decide which team is the winner.
AS it is Kichland's turn to get
the next game at their place -
and as Richland's best player
could not be in the game at
Richland and as Condry was
crippled a day or two before the
game at Rutledge and was not
at his best during that game -
the Richland boys believe they

HOG PRODUCTION IN
GRANGER COUNTY

This is the time for hog grow
ing. There is no kind Of food
neeced more than pork for the
soldiers and. ourselves. An effort
is being made to stimulate more
hog growing among the farmers
of Granger County. Dr.. Jay, a
government representative and
hog specialist, has been with the
county agent working anonr
the farmers cf the county Of
fering suggestions rs to how
hogs can he more proftably
grown and how losses from dis
eases can be prevented. Dr.. Jay
has studied the methods of the
best hog growers Of the country
and has been employed as. a vet
erinarian by the government to
assist in ridding this state Of
hog cholera.
On learning that the dreadful
disease Of hog cholera has not
brought any losses to Granger
county farmers, DR.. Jay is very
enthusiastic in urging them to
take advantage Of the opportun-
ity Of growing more hogs. lie
assures them that it was never
more profitable to feed hogs if
they are fed in the right way.
The attention Of farmers is
called to the fact that there is
a great shortage of hogs. Eu-
rope is short about 32,000,000
we have a decrease Of about 8
percent this year. There should
have bee,l q large increase to
furnish pork to our allies and
to our own country. Pork prices

who are feeding the least a.

amount Of other feeds. The
most successful growers in the

The history Of Freiberg goes back to
the latter part Of the eleventh century.
1t Is supposed to have been founded by
one of the dukes of zabringen, In
whose possession 1t remained until the
first quarter Of the thirteenth century,
when the line became extinct and It
fell into the hands of the Urach family,
from whom the Freiburgers, after try
ing in vain to rid themselves by force,
finally purchased their freedom for
10000 silver marks. No sooner had
they succeeded In throwing off the
yoke Of the old master, however, than
they became involved with a new one,
for they We're unable to settle with
the creditor who had advanced the
purchase price Of their freedom. The
city then passed into the hands of the

remained for more than four centuries.
