THE cosTLINEss or WAR

MAJOR E. d. Scott, member Of the
field artillery of the United States
army, has very interesting article
on "The Evolution of Field Artillery"
in the March number of the National
Service Magazine.
What does one suppose that this
supposedly well informed army Off
Ger fixes the cost of the artillery equip
ment for a single army corps, excius-
i've of both horses and men?
He says that it will reach cost of
more than twelve million dollaras, and
its visible supply of ammunition more
than twice that much.
For an army of million men Major
Scott places the cost of the artillery
alone (for what length of time he fails
to state) at more than three hundred
and sixty million dollars.
For this enormous cost it is imper
alive, he says, that preparations be
made before actual hostilities begin
Germany owes her occupation Of
the enemy territory, which has giver
her such a tremendous advantage in
the present struggle, to her prepared
ness.
France and England have spent two
years in getting ready.

The Marion Hardware store, taking
time by the forelock, has placed Ocala
in state of magnificent defensive
preparedness.

declared existing between the kaiser
and Uncle Sam, this firm hurriedly
improvised a cannon-and it is some
cannon. too, regular Jess Willard
out of materil carried in stock.
1t is properly manned and is point
ed in the direction of Silver Springs,
and the claim is made that it will car
ry shell that distance, so if the per-
iscope of a German sub is seen in
those waters the inhabitants of our
city need have no fears, and can rest
in perfect tranquility.
So much for preparedness, and for
carrying in stock the necessary ma
terial to prepare with.

The Callahan Leader says that Cal
lahan is out of debt-does not owe a
penny. And yet Callahan is not a
town to which everybody is fiocking.
1t is not as progressive, nor are there
as many buildings in progress of cree
ton as in Miami, Tampa, Lakeland,
and some other towns that we might
mention. A debt is not so bad if a
town has something to show for it.
Water and electric light plant, ire sta
ton and equipment, churches, schools,
libraries, city hall, armory, hospital
and other public buildings. Public
debt is a necessity. Callahan we dare
say is without many of the things
that we have mentioned, and is even
without daily newspaper.

Yes, California has her troubles the

early frosts damage her fruits and
vegetables the same as they DANCE
ours. Under date of April 81 special
from Stockton Cal, says:
"The recent frost which visited this
district did considerable damage to
the potato crops on the islands. Some
growers took precaution to smudge
but even this did not prevent the
vines from being damaged. The frosts
is considered very disastrous coming
at this time, when seed is scarce and
high, really too expensive to permit
of replanting. Just how much damage
has been done is not known, but it is
considered quite serious. The frost
seemed to strike in spots, some tracts
being badly damaged, others hardly
touched.
