Armour pays the producer for a thousand
pound steer at the 1916 average of $7.61 per hun
dredweight. S76.1o.
But. dressed, this thousand-pound steer weighs
only some fUe hundred and sixty pounds which,
at the average Armour selling price of S1212I5 for
1916 up November 1st (the time when these figures
were compiled) brings only s67.eO. or $500 less
than the cost of the EUe steer!
No logic is necessary TO convince YOU that neither
Armour nor anyone else sell meat at a loss.
Nor does Armour sell at loss The four hun
dred and forty pounds of remaining material is all used
every scrap of it. Yet the fact remains that through
scientific study which has made possible the utiIiza-
tion Of inedibLe portions in UaIuabLe by-pro-
ducts, the dressed carcass of beef steer sells for
less than The steer cost Armour.

CITY IS AFTER ONE
Effor, is Now Being Made TO
Secure a Factory For Co
Iumbus.

Hon r !. Locke. Jr., member Of
the Lowndes County Highway Com
mission, who has been active not only
in good roads work but in promoting
the industrial welfare of the com
munity, is endeavoring to secure for
Columbus a factory which will make
high grade moasses from water
melons
6 X. Hollander, general manager
of the Eeaslip Molasses and Sugar
Company, a corporation which has
factory at Pass Christian, Miss,
but whose headquarters and general
offices are in New Orleans. has de-
veloped a process whereby an excel
lent quality of molasses can be made
from watermelons, and, according to
a press dispatch recently sent out
from Pass Christian, the company in
tends to establish plants at several
places in different sections Of the
watermelon belt for the manufacture
of syrup Watermelons are extreme
ly grown in the territory con-
tiguous to Columbus, and Mr.. Locke
will present the claims of this city
to officials of the company with the
view of inducing them to locate one
Of their proposed plants here.
Mr. Holander, it is claimed. has
thoroughly demonstrated the fact
that high grade molasses can be made
from waternelons. He first tested
out the value of the melons as syrup
producers and finally evolved a pro-
cess for manufacturing two grades
of molasses, one a dark variety and
the other bleached. Experts declar-
ed both varieties to be exceptionally
high in quality.
Tests were then made with the by
products of the watermelons, and
processes worked out for the manu-
focture of vinegar from the crushed
meat of the melons an for making
cattle feed from the seed and the
rind. The whole melon will, there
fore, be consumed and nothing will
be allowed to go to waste.
Some of the finest watermelors
that the South produces are grown
in this immediate section, and Mr.
Locke thinks that Columbus stands
fine chance to secure one of thp
proposed plants.

PETITION MAKING THAT
REQUEST HAS BEEN
GRANTED.
No Necessity for Term, Which
Would Work Harship Upon
Farmers.

Contending that the general in
terest Of the community can be con-
served by granting their request,
members Of the Columbus Bar Asso-
citation and loral officials have sent
to Hon. T. B. Carroll, presiding judge
of the Sixteenth circuit court dis
trict, a petition requesting him to
pretermit the fall term of the circuit
conrt for Lowndes county, which, ac-
cording to the provisions of the code,
is scheduled to convene in this city on
Monday, November 26.
The petition reached Judge Carroll
Friday, and on yesterday telephone
message stating that he had decided
to grant the request was received
here.
The principal reason for request
ing Judge Carroll to pretermit the
tburt term lies in the fact that local
farmers are busily engaged in har-
vesting the unusually large crops that
have been made here this season and
that to take them from their work
at this time would entail an unneces-
sary hardship. The weather is at
present ideal for the work of the har-
vesers, and as labor is very scarce
in this section it is important that
the crops be gathered as quickly as
possible, so that when the fall rains
finally set in the abundant products
Of the soil will all have been either
marketed or carefully stored away.
Under the provisions of the code,
the November court term is primari-
ly for the transaction of civil busi-
ness. The law provides that no
grand jury shall be impanneled and
that only such criminal cases as are
already on docket shall be tried. The
pretermition of the term will not,
therefore, work hardship upon any
defendant in criminal case, and as
there is little civil business docketed
no one will be disconnected by the
granting of the petition,

children, $50 of them thin, sickly,
alone, all between the ages of four

to work for the Germans and of
mothers who let their children go
rather than let them starve. They
poured off the train, little ones cling
ing to the Oldest ones, girls all cry
ing, boys trying to cheer.
"They had come all the long way
alone. On the platform were the
Red Cross workers to meet them,
doctors and nurses with ambulances
for the little ones waiting outside the
station. The children poured out the
station, marched along the street
shouting, Meat, meat, we are going
to have meat to the casino, where
they were given a square meal, the
first in many months.
Again and again, while they ate.
they broke out spontaneously into
songs in French against the Germans,
songs which they had evidently learn
