A POUND OF HONEY

When you eat spoonful or Money
you have very little ideas as to the
amount of work and travel necessary
to produce it. To make pound or
clover honey, bees must take the nee
tar from over sixty-two thousand ciov-
er blossoms; and to do this requires
two million seven hundred and fifty
thousand visits to the blossoms by the
bees.
In other words, in order to collect
enough nectar to make one pound
of honey, a bee must go from hive to
flower and back again two million
seven hundred and fifty thousand
times. Then you think how far these
bees sometimes fly in search OF these
clover fields, often one or two miles
distant from the hive, you will begin
to get a. small idea Of the number OF
miles one of the industrious little Gre
atures must travel in ordeer that you
NAV have a pound of honey.-Presoy'

"SPLIT. THAT FAILED
TO MATERIALIZE

Columbia, Aug 20.-The speech oi
CONGRESSMAN Sam. J. Nichols at In
ion on Saturday failed to give any
new hope to the anti-Reform party
which had confidently expected that
Mr.. Nichols would maze Z t-Go:oli
personal attack UPON former Governor
Rlease.
AS evidence of the glee with which
they were looking for some foundation
uDon which to base another split IN
the Reform party, the following pa
thetlc how much" wire query which
Mr.. Allan Nicholson, of Union, sent to
one of the daily newspapers of the
state of which he is local Union cor
respondent, may be cited:
Congressman Nichols, longtime
friend of Blease, at patriotic rally
here today will ST. ongly defend ad'
ministration in war measure and cha
racterize as traitors those opposing
government. Have advance copy Of
speech 49, ~~-A,. .-a4@.--
After careful study of the "advsnca
CODY" not a word about "Blease" ex-
cep longtime friend of Blease." Ev-
en- with this advance copy Core
spondent Nicholson seems to have
failed to find any attack upon "Blease,'
and hence the lack of enthusiasm II
the query, and possibly the lack OF a
more legnthy report Of the Nichols
speech.
Congressman Nichols has long been
known as forceful extemEoraneouz
speaker, and it was surprise TO
some of his close friends to know
that he had prepared his speech ID
advance. The only way they can &C:
count for it is the fact that he must
have been weighing carefully every
word which he uttered, aud from hie
standpoint it is to be presumed that
he made a strong address. That he Is
an able man goes without saying
notwithstanding the attacks upon him
in the past by the anti efoEm press
One of the newspaper spokesme1
of the anti-Reform party devotes q
considerable portion Of its editorial
space this morning 20 an argument
that Congressman Nichols represents
the sentiment not only Of his district
but of Congressman Domini:k's dis
trict as we'll No one questions the
fact that the Democrats Of 10th dis
tricts are loyal and patriotic Of cou&se
the effort of the newspaper referee
to was to point out another "split.
These efforts to make splits" are
really getting as pathetic as was tn;
query of Correspondent Nicholson
They simply evidence the fear ans
trembling with which the anti Refor u
party is watching the peoples move
ment which is sweeping the state
and the scramble to get within thei1
fold any, one, no matter hoy rnucs
they may have maligned him in tn
! past with "dictasraph" stories oi
otherwise, whosn they now look upo'

>GG.GGG INFANTRY
GOING TO FRANCE
100000 Fighting Men to Represent
United States OH the Western
Front


Washington, Aug. 19.-The War De-
rartment is planning to send more
than 100000 infantrymen to France.
On the basis of two infantrymen to
one artilleryman, the ratio preserved
in the organization Of the new divl-
sions, this will mean that at the very
least our overseas forces will num-
Der 100000 fighting men.
Of the more than million and a
half the United States will soon have
under arms the remainder will be re-
tanned in the United States as depot
troops from which the vacancies in
the expeditionary forces will be fill
ed.
This statement, the first authorita-
tive indication of the actual number
o. fighting men to go abroad was con
tanned quite incidentally in bulle-
tin from the committee on public in
:oTmation today.
Oficials have hitherto maintained
strict silence on the matter and today
no further information as to the
time or order of the moving of troops
was permitted to be published.
1t is known, however, that 100000
men month can be transported to
Europe and kept in supplies there with
the Shipping now at hand. If the full
possibilities Of the shipping facilities
availed Of, and it has always been in
sisted that they would, this will mean
that the 100000 men will be in Eu-
rope within the pear.
Equipment
The bulletin of the committee On
information in which this statement
was contained related to the cost OF
the equipment of infantrymen.
Each mans full equipment to start
with will cost s15S.3o, divided as fol-
lows: Clothing. etc., S101.21; eating
utensils, etc.. s7.7S; fighting equip
ment, s47.36.
The fighting equipment, which in
cludes steel helmets and gas masks
is to include the United States rifle
model 1903, generally known as the
Springfield. It is announced that the
first 100000 to 100000 troops to go tc
France will carry that weapon, but
the socalled Enfield rife, used by the
British troops, is being manufactures
to equip the American troops, and has
been officially designated as the
! United States rifle, model Of 1917.
TIE Springfield
This means that all of the infantry
of the original expedition will carry
the Springfield"
It is not stated in the announcement
where the British Enfield is beins
| manufactured, but recent report:
have been to the effect that it is be-
ing made in England.
The estimates of cost given are fol
infantrymen only and only those wht
are to 90 to France are mentioned
Figured on basis Of 100000 it vii
cost in round numbers $125.o0o, 900 iol
infantry equipment alone.
These figures do not. Of course. in
cluded transportation. subsistence
medical supplies, ammunition, ETC., ex
eept that on the item OF ammunition
each man is furnished, as a starter
with 100 cartridges. The add.tiona
ammunition which will be needed al
the front is not mentioned nor many
other items.
