A fine specimen of the goshawk, a
bird of the hawk species, was shot re-
Gently by Rev. G. p. Rowell on his place.
The bird had killed a large rooster near
his residence and was devouring il with
evident enjoyment. Mr.. Rowell heard a
crunching sound like dog chewing a
bone, and going TO investigate found the
cause. He FASTENED to get his gun and
shot the thief, who did not seem TO
mind his presence. The bird measures
AZ inches from tip to tip and was of the
raptorial species which are characterized
for the strength of their claws and bills,
like the eagle. They are not common to
this part of the country, being a native
of Labrador, and are noted for their
savage strength and boldness, and, it is
said, will attack larger animals when
hungry. Mr. Rowell is having his prize
mounted by taxidermist in the city.

dollars per ton and the purchasers were
those who have small ice houses and store
Water Supply Committe is favorably com
mented on, and il is intimated that il suffi-
cent time is given, enough ice may be sold
to pay for the construction of the big dam
at Kent, and that perhaps the money re-
ceived from the hay and apples from the
farms that have been purchased will pay
for the bridge that is to be built near Ash
land. Surely the citizens of Providence
are to be congratulated on the rare bust
ness ability Of its committee.

WORM INFESTED HORSES.

Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Out
Of Condition.
Many horses get out OF condition or
fail to make gains during the winter
months because they are infested with
worms This is especially true OF colts.
Horses suffering from worms generally
have good appetite, but apparently
benefit little from the food eaten.
There may be no symptoms which
point conclusively To worms, but this
trouble Is SO common that II the colts
and horses are not doing as well as
they should for the feed given, worm
remedy may prove OF decided value. In
treating horses for worms DIR. l.. 5.
Backus OF the Missouri College OF Agri-
culture suggests IL Is well To keep In
mind that the drug il meant for the
worm rather than the horse and should
therefore be given I'm as concentrated n
form as possible. To insure this little
or no bulky food should he fed during
the course of treatment, and as the
parasites are stupefied by worm rene
dies rather than killed the animals
bowels should be kept I'm an active con
dition SD that the stupefied worms may
be passed out before they regain their
vitality. A well salted bran mash once
a day will generally insure such an nc
tion.
The following formula Is n worm
remedy which is also OF value az n
tonic: Powdered nux vomica. two
ounces; powdered gentian root, four
ounces: powdered areca nut, six ounces;
sodium chloride common salt, four
ounces; arsenious acid, two drains,
Mix.
Give a heaping teaspoonful to every
$50 pounds weight every morning and
evening for about ten days. The medi-
cine may be mixed with ground feed or
sprinkled over oats or corn which has
been dampened.

TRUST IN SUBMARINE.
German Naval Authority Talks OF
Campaign.

London, May 9.-Reuter's Amster-
dam correspondent, quoting Berlin
advices. says:
"The reichstag has begun it's Sec
ond reading Of the navy budget. DR..
Pfelger. naval reporter of the budget
committee. declared that the sub
marine booty for April would not be
less than 1,110,0OO tons and added
that the reichstag looked forward to
the activity by the German navy
with confident hope of speedy and
victorious peace. Vice Admiral Won
Capelle. minister of the navy, who
followed DR.. Pfelger. said:
This recognition Is a new stimu-
lus to us to fulfill Germany's expecta-
tions regarding the u-boat which have
faced enthusiastically the great task
Of decisively intervening alongside
our victorious army. I assure you
that the u-boats will persevere until
the end. We have the necessary
boats. a trained personnel, fuel and
all accessories.
Thousands upon thousands of
hands are actively engaged in pro-
ducing new u-boats and new material
for torpedoes ard mines. Not only
is the number of u-boats continually
increasing but the boats are always
improving I'm quality: they are always
better types and Of greater efficiency.
Officers and men are crowding for
ward for submarine service.
"Of course, losses also occur. Our
enemies defenses are increasing in
quantity and quality. but there is no
radical remedy against u-boats
"'In England it was said. 1--WE must
smoke out the bases; that Is the sole
means of mastering the u-bOat." Let
them but come and try; they will
bite granite.
"a decisive factor is the continual
ly increasing monthly successes such
az we ourselves hardly expected. Our
losses are small beyond expectation.
"'Three months war experience is
Of more value than three years peace
experience. The u-boat crews are
equal to all demands. We expected
an average monthly u-boat booty Of
about 100000 tons; actually the re-
suit Of three months totals 2.SO0,000
tons. This is 55 per cent. above our
expectations. Altogether, in three
months 1926 ships have been sunk.
How long this will continue is the

Mr.. Geo. L. Brown Of the Privateer
section was In the city yesterday and
reports that the people of his COM
munity were visited by a small tor
nado on last Friday afternoon. The
tornado lasted only q few seconds. but
in that time blew down a number of
fruit trees and unroofed some barns
and negro houses. but otherwise did
no great damage.
The Rev. Mr.. Triplet Of North Car
olina has accepted call to the Gra-
ham and Providence Churches. which
until recently have been filed by the
Rev. w. d. Spinx. who resigned to ac-
cept a call to the Marion Baptist
church.
The oat and wheat crops, Mr..
Brown reports. are not as good as
they might be. The cold spell in Feb
rhary did such damage to these crops
that they have never recovered and
only a small yield is expected. The
gardens in the community are also
backward.

Columbia, May 9.-While the rain
fall during the week has been timely
for vegetation and to improve the soil
for further plowing, the weather has
been too cool, with hailstorms over
considerable areas. and termination
has not been satisfactory. Early cot
ton has come to generally good stands,
however. and chopping is well advanc-
ed northward along the lower Pied

ton. Corn shows good stands in
large areas. and the early crop is well
cultivated generally; there is still a
large acreage to be planted. Wheat
is rather thin and is heading short
There are some very fine fields Of rye
Oats have suffered from drought. To-
bacco transplanting is finished. Gar
dens. field truck, peaches. apples and
grapes are promising; sweet potato
planting continues, and velvet bean
planting has begun; snap beans and

Washington, May 9.-Herbert c.
Hover reported to President Wilson
today on food conditions abroad and
presented the allies estimates of their
food requirements from America dur
ing the coming year. At an hours
conference he reviewed the situation
in detail outlining measures foreign
governments have taken to conserve
their supplies.
On his departure from the White
House Mr.. Hoover was asked if he
would accept a place as food dcta-
tor if one were created:
II don't want to be food dictator
for the American people," he replied.
"The man who accepts such a posi-
tion will die or the barbed wire OF

Before the senate agricultural COM

urged that central food department
be established. lie advocated price

ton and argued for preparedness as
q war measure. Later he saw the six
cabinet members who comprise the
council Of national defense. At this
conference he cited the need for food
control and outlined what the allies
are doing in this direction.
The first of the administrator 8
food bills was debated in the house
today, Chairman Lever Of the agri-
cultural committee presenting the
measure with the declaration that its
prompt enactment is vital to success

members from the food producing
parts Of the country attacked the bill
as giving too much power to the gov

Pennsylvania objecting particularly to
provisions empowering the secretary
Of agriculture to send his agents into
places of business to obtain informa-
ton.
"One reason for this provision" 4"
Representative Lenroot of Wisconsin

This will permit the agricultural de-
partment to get information neces-
sary for that purpose"

WOOD TO SWING CIRCLE.
EXPECTED no VISIT ALL STATES
IN HIS DEPARTMENT.
RUNS to Go to Every Important City
and Town I'm 1t I'm Order 10 Learn
District.

Washington, May 9.-It has be.
come definitely known here that as
soon as Gen. Leonard Wood, the
commander Of the new department
OF the Southeast. with Headquarters
at Charleston. goes to his post of
duty, within the next week or ten
days. and gets the lay of the land,
he will begin an extensive swing
around the circle which will take him
into all the States and 10 many of
the larger towns and cities embraced
in his department, the tentative date
Tor the trip being about June 1.
When Gen. Wood was in Washing
ton day or two ago no said he was
anxious to acquaint himself with his
new position. He wishes to 60 over
every foot of the territory which will
be under his control and thus take
stock of the situation. Starting out
from Charleston. his itinerary will
probably take him through Columbia,
through Georgia. probably going to
Macon and Atlanta, then to Fort Nc
Pherson and Fort Oglethorpe, where,
at the latter two places. he will make
most careful Investigations of the big
army headquarters.
After inspecting Fort Mcpherson
and Fort Oglethorpe. Gen. Wood
then contemplates continuing his trip
to Alabama. then on into the other
sections coming under his jurisdic-
tion.
The effect of such q trip, 1t was
pointed out here today. can not have
any but the best result. The people
in the new department want to see
their new commander face to face and
Gen. Wood Is equally as sincere in
his desire to meet and know them. He
already has many good friends among
the Southern people and the fact that
he Is to visit various parts of his
territory so soon after taking con-
troll at Charleston indicates that 1t
Will be his purpose to create a strong
bond between himself and the people
among whom he Ia to live and work.
