Although he cannot use meal or

buys them in large quantities, too.

help my country, I need only to be

set flour I will do so gladly, al

CIDENT NOT CERTAIN.

While engaged in emptying the re-
naming "gas" from tank car that

oil concern, and to do which proper
permission had been secured, w. r.
Booker, a yard engineer for the Cen
tral of Georgia railroad here, and his
son, Julian Booker, fourteen years OF
age, were seriously burned. Engi-
neer Bookers hands were literally
cooked by the heat of the flames, and
he was also burned about the head,
but no vital parts were affected. His
son was, perhaps, worse burned than
he was. and is now in serious condi-
ton at the family residence here. Dr.
Frank Cato was called and attended
victims of the accident
The cause of the accident is not
certain, though it is supposed the
gas fumes became ignited from an
open lantern carried by Engineer
Booker and used 10 illuminate Ihe
scene. Before either of the victims
became aware that anything had gone
wrong flames enveloped them, and
tie first anyone else knew of the ac-
cident was when Engineer Booker stag
gered into the Office of the agent and
his condition was made known.
Friends rushed to the assistance Of the
suffering man and boy at once, and a
physician was hurriedly summoned.
An alarm turned in from box p
at the intersection of Jackson and Wild
streets. brought the fire department to
the scene and the blaze was extin-
guished without material damage to

COUNTRY CLUB
REVIVAL PLAN
GETS A BOOST
COMMITTEE FROM THE BUSINESS
COUNCIL OF THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE DIRECTED TO LOOK
INTO PROJECT.

1t is regarded as almost certain that
the Country club will be revived and
that in connection with it there will
be organized a fair association and
amusement park
Impetus was given the project at
the dinenr of the business council Of
the Chamber of Commerce Friday
night when Crawford Wheatley was
appointed chairman of a committee
of six to handle the idea.
To re-establish the club will take
$4,000. About $1,000 more will be
needed to perfect plans for the fair
association. Already six citizens have
agreed to subscribe 81 900 each to
underwriting the proposition, taking
bonds as security.
The idea is to revive the club, lay
out a golf course and tennis courts
and erect fair buildings. The latter
would be used in the winter for train
ing quarters for circus, and big
league baseball team would be Sc
cured to come here in the spring for
its practice work
The coming of the camp has stress
ed the importance of providing club
as a place of entertainment of recrea-
ton for the soldiers and aviators.
The idea has been enthusiastically
received, and it is believed that the
subscriptions will be easily secured
especially with the start that has
been made.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY in
France, March 2.-American troops
republsed a strong German attack
this morning in the salient north Of
Toul. There were many American
casualties, one of the killed being a
captain who was graduated from West
Point in 1917
The raid was a complete failure,
three German prisoners remaining in
American hands. The ground in frons

A driving wet snow was falling this
morning when the Germans opened
fire on the American salient with ev-

enty-sevens, heavy shells and gas
shells fell in a perfect whirlwind on
the American trenches for half an
hour. At the same time other enc
my shells in great numbers were
dropping on the American battery po-
sitions.
The Germans, evidently thinking
that the Americans in this section,
having had one taste of gas few days
ago, would fear it now, let loose great
quantities of poisonous gas, but the
men put on their masks and only
few were affected by it. So intense
was the fire that the woods back Of
tie salient were shot to pieces.

The Benefits of Prohibition in Col

The Benefits of Prohibition in Colo.
The child is no longer attracted by
the red spot on the stove. There is a
reason. Experience is our greatest
teacher. The people of Colorado have
satisfied themselves that booze is
a monstrous stumbling block to pro-
gress and civilization. The highest
courts of our State and Nation have
branded it an outlaw, and it is being
driven from shelter to shelter like a
hunted fox, unaware of its destiny.
Mr.. Justice Field. in Crowley VS..
Christensen, 1877 U. S. sc, speaking on
the subject, says:
by the general concurrence of
opinion of every civilized and Chris
tian community, there are few sour
ces of crime and misery to society
equal to the dram shop"
Mr.. Justice Bailey, of our own Su-
preme Court, quotes this language ap-
provingly in Schwartz VS.. People, 46
Colorado, at page 249, and says:
"No citizen had ever a common-law
right in Colorado to carry on the busi-
ness of dealingg in intoxicating
liquors."

cord with the demands of the majority
of growers, do trust that the growers
will support the nations sugar supply
by enlarging planting.
"Our shortage of shipping and the
necessities of the allies make larger
demands upon domestic sugar next
year than ever before and the main
tenance of our own industry is prim-
ary not only to the well-being OF the
growers but the nation as a whole" :"
