German Propaganda.
Boston News Bureau, J

A government official declares Ger
mans are spending hundreds of mil
hons of dollars to spread discomfort,
particularly among the uneducated
people in all the countries of the al
lies. TN the first two years of the
war the German propaganda machine
was a very amateurish organization,
but the propagandists kept at it, and
finalyl they began to get the machine
into working order until it became
very wonderful organization. It's ten
tacles reach into every country in the
world, and it costs the German gov
eminent probably $500,00O,000 a year
to maintain it," In Germany, said
the official. they called into the SER
vice of the state the gerat psyehol-
ogists of the country, the big news
paper men. and university professors,
trade experts, and even novelists and
dramatists. Agents were sent into
every country in the world to study
the people, until the government files
in Berlin contained complete data re-
garding the pecularities and suscep-
Utilities of all people with whom Ger
many had reason to anticipate clash.

BUREAU OF MINES HAS
NEW ELECTRIC FURNACE
INVENTED BY CHEMIST-IT MAY
REVOLUTiONIZE BRASS
MAKING.

The bureau of mines today an
houneed the perfection of type o
electric melting furnace that may b,
revolutionary in the making of brass
Patents on this furnace, known as tn.
Rocking electric furnace, have beer
taken out by the bureau and have
been assigned to Secretary of the In.
terror Lane as trustee Free license
to operate these furnaces under the
patents, 1t is understood, can be OBJ
tanned by making application through
van II. Manning, director of the bu-
reau of mines.
The new furnace, which it is claim
ed will reduce the important losses in
brass melting, is the result of five
years of experimentation by II. w.
Gillett, chemist of the bureau of
mines, in cooperation with the labora-
tory of Cornell university, the Amer
lean Institute Of Metals and mum :
Der of manufacturers of brass.
Cuts Down Cost.
Up to the present most brass has
been made in costly crucibles of i'm
ported glass and graphite. Since the
war it has been impossible to obtain
the imported materials for crucibles,
and manufacturers have had to put
up at cost many times that of pre-
war prices. With the huge tonnage
OF brass needed for war purposes,
such as shells for cartridges, manu-
facturers have been anxious for a So
luton of the crucibIe problem The
bureau states it is inevitable that the
next few years will see electric fur
naces largely replacing crucible fur
naces and that there will be a deveI-
orment comparable to that seen in the
steel industry in the last few years.
Also Reduce Loss.
The electric furnace, it is also de-
clared, will greatly decrease the loss
Of zinc, which, together with copper
makes brass. Zinc boils at a much
here have consequently been large
osses in the open crucible furnace
through rehabilitation of the zinc. The
electric furnace is closed and these
osses are avoided. 1t is estimated
hat the unnecessary losses in brass
making are more than $4,000, 900 a year
n normal times and perhaps 100000 |
100 a year in war times. Another
'laim for the electric furnace is that
t gives more healthful working con-
litions for the men.
The Michigan Smelling & Refining
company, Detroit, Mich, already has |
me of these furnaces in operation and |
las four more under construction.
he c. B. Bohn Foundry company of |
Detroit is building two of these fur
laces.

INCREASE OF PENSIONS.
VETERANS OF CIVIL WAR
THIRTY DOLLARS A MONTH FOR
80 DAYS sERvicE-iNcREASE
WITH SERVICE.

The Miner is indebted to Congress
man French for the following circu-
lar just issued by the commissioner
of pensions explaining the new law;
The act of June 10, 1918, amending
the pension law of May IL, 1912, pro-
vides the rate of $50 per month for
soldiers and sailors of any age who
served 80 days or more during the
civil war and were honorably dis
charged, and who are now receiving
a lower rate. Those who are Y years
of age or over and who served six
months, are entitled to receive $32
per month; those who served one year,
$35 per month; one and one half
years, $3S per month; and two years
or over, $40 per month. These in
creases will be granted automatically
and without application of any kind
to the pension bureau, to all soldiers
and sailors now pensioned under the
act of May IL, 1912, and who have at
tanned the required age and served
the necessary length of time.
Soldiers and sailors who served
during the civil war and are pensioned
at lower rates under some other law,
but who are entitled to pension UNI
der the act of May II, 1912, will be
required to file an application under |
that act in order to receive the bene-
its of the new law.
Big Task for Bureau.
The pension bureau will make these
allowances with all the despatch pos
'ible under existing conditions. A
special force for the adjustment of
ases within the provisions of the
lew law has been organized, which
will handle these cases exclusively.
t should be borne in mind by those
oncerned that there are now nearly
$4,000 pensioners under the act of
lay H. 1912, and all are urged to ex-
rcise patience and consideration

mind the prices of various commodi-
ties as they were three or four years
ago, and the present prices of the
same articles, you will realize the
fact that there has been a tremendous
increase in all In fact there can be
no doubt that you have already reali-
zed it Cotton is worth two or three
times what it was then; corn and
wheat twice as much; sugar, meat
shoes, clothing ,fuel,-all these things
have gone up, up until they are selling
at prices far higher than before.
Everything you can think of has in
creased in value as measured by the
dollar, with the possible exception of
real estate. Land, where it has adj
vanced at all, has advanced very little.
Now the time is coming when all
these other things will experience
decline. When the exegiences of war
have passed prices will slump. There
is no question about that Cotton,
corn, meats, sugar, shoes, fuel, and
all will come tumbling down But
real estate will never be as cheap
again as it is right now.
Therefore, the wise man will put
his money in land, getting ready for
the time when the end of the war
and the restoration of the worlds
balances will make land more valua-
BILE, instead of less. Real estate does
not lose value with age; it cannot
take wings and fly away; it needs no
insurance against fire; thieves cannot
break in and steal it away.
The man who bets his money on
real estate in the United States is
sure to win. This applies to all sec
lions Of the country, but to a few so
forcibly, and to none more forcibly,
than to Southern Georgia. This sec
ton is destined to become the most
sought for the most productive the
most prosperous section of this coun-
try. The end of the present war will
see a rush to the south, equalling
| that to the west which followed the
civil war. And Southern Georgia,
with her rich lands and unsurpassed
climate, will reap big share from the
harvest of men and dollars.
/ And where in Southern Georgia is
a spor likely to profit more abundantly
than cSrdele? A thrifty, growing
city, with four railroads; with a rich
agricultural section surrounding it;
with schools and churches; with an
enterprising and progressive citizen
ship,-Cordele offers inducements and
advantages for investment that are not
