A statement authorized by the
Ordnance Department tells how ex-
perts in shooting, many of them
members of United States teams
which won international shooting
matches, were commissioned and
sent to various camps to instruct
officers and men in shooting and in
the operation and care of the rifle.
In one camp officers under in
struction from these men gave d
demonstration in dismounting and
assembling this rifle while blind
folded, the record time being : min
utes for dismouht'ng and % minutes

a means of relieving the labor short

are the kind, and age of hogs to use.

return from across the deep blue sea,
remember your son, Charles Lee, will
be one of them. OF course, 1t is
hard for you and all mothers to give
up the ones they love so dearly to go
to that great and cruel war. But 1t
is a debt we owe to France. When
we we're in war, the mothers OF
France gave up their loved ones to
America and helped our forefathers
gain their freedom. So, why
shouldn't we Americans go to war
and fight for our rights and the
rights of France? But remember,
If I cross the blue sea, will return
to you. Give my best regards to all
my Kentucky friends and pray for
me while / am away.
Your loving son,

FRENCH BOYS OF 10 co
ING INTO TRAINING

Paris.-The 1919 contingent of
the French Army, youth of nineteen
years, is just going to the barracks
to begin training. Although called
out a year before the usual time,
these young men are in better con-
dition physically than any of their
predecessors.
They are starting out in as high
spirits as the army did in August,
1914, shouting from the car win
dows that they will beat the Ger
mans. The scenes around the rail-
road stations in the last two days
have been more like the time of the
mobilization than any which have
been witnessed since, contributing to
he wav of optimism which seems to
have replaced the anxiety which was
felt in the early days of the great
German drive.
Premier Clemenceau returned to
Paris recently from the battle
front, where he had been getting into
close touch with conditions. The
impression Of he situation which he
brought back to the capital was a
favorable one.

FEEDS THAT THE BEEF
CATTLE LIKE TO EAT.

A beef cattle breeder who has
just been able to get 3S per cent
cottonseed meal, reports this method
of feeding twice a day; Fresh silage;
on top of that, l peck shelled corn;
on top of that, 3 gallons bran and
shorts; then 1 gallon of the meal;
fairly well stirred together with
about what hay they yill eat ia

-- Calves should 10 very well Oh the
feed that this breeder is giving them.
1t is probable that, as soon as they
are brought up to it, they will take
more of the concentrates that are
now being given them. If one
wishes to make them as good as
possible he can probably well afford
to increase the total amount to
maintain the proportion about as
indicated.
AS to the bull, the head of the
herd, if his ration is balanced, and he
has free access to good water and is
given the exercise that he must have,
1t is difficult to feed him too well.

FEED SOUR BUTTERMIIK
TO YOUNG CHICKS.

A great many young chickens, es-
pecially those Matched and brooded
artifically. seem to be susceptible to
bowel trouble such as White
Diarrhea. Buttermilk or clabbered
skim milk has the effect of counter
acting these troubles, the acids Of
the milk destroying the bacteria
that cause the trouble.
Waste milk also furnishes a great
quantity of animal protein and hast
ems growth. Chicks supplied liber-
ally with milk make superior fryers;
the pullets mature and lay earlier
than those not fed milk.
Waste milk also increases the egg
yield by nearly so per cent.

WORK OF WOMEN
IN OHIO COUNTY.

We take this means of thanking
the women of Ohio County for their
cooperation and help in the work Of
the Third Liberty Loan. The county
was well organized and the women
did their work nobly. McHenry,
with Mrs. Will II. Vaughn as Chair
man, led with $1275 subscribed.
Horse Branch, with Mrs. w. o. Read,
Chairman, and Narrows, with Mrs. A.
X. Renfrow, Chairman, made an
early and excellent report. Beaver
Dam, with Mrs. j. o. Mckinney,
Rockport, with Mrs. A. j. Gibbs,
Fordsviile, with Miss Mary Smith,
and Centertown, with Mrs. Alvin
Rowe. Chairman, made fine reports.
A total of $25, $4,000 was turnei in
by the woman's organization. We
are thoroughly convinced that no
county in the state has a more cour-
teous, patriotic, liberty-loving class
of women than has Ohio County.

sSEvEN SOLDIERS BURNED
ALIVE BY GERMANS
A British White Paper On the
Brutal Killing OF a Sailor
At Brandenburg.

New York.-Evidence that Brit
ish seaman named John Genower,
taken prisoner by the Germans in the
battle Of the Skagerrak, was deliber-
ately permitted to burn to death, to-
gether with French soldier and five
Russians, in q flimsy board cell in the
German prison camp at Brandenburg
in March, last year, and that when he
ATTEMPTED to get away from the
flames behind him by trying to
squeeze through the narrow window,
was bayonetted by the sentry and
thrust back nto the fire, has just
been made public by the British gov
eminent in the White Paper, copies
of which reached here a few days
ago through official sources.
The White Paper, comprising the
correspondence of the British govern
ment through the Dutch legation in
Berlin with the German government,
shows that the former endeavored
from April % to Sept. to ascertain
from the later the facts in the case
and that as the results of four print
ed foolscap pages of correspondence
comprising some $500 words, it OBJ
tains two responses. The first ad-
mitted that John Genower died at
Brandenburg camp ION the 9th Mar.
1 last in consequence of burns" The
second asserted that the British
story docs not in any way cores
pond with the fact" and added that
to say that "the prisoners who tried
to get out through the windows were
pattacked by him (the sentry with a
bayonet is a malicious fabrication
The thorough judicial investiga-
ton held on the matter shows that
no blame for the regrettable incident
attaches to any of the German staff"
Against this the White Paper cities
"a report by eight Spanish seamen
who were captured from the steam
ship Gravina by a German subma-
rine," and while informed in the
Brandenburg Camp witnessed the
burning of the prison cell with the
prisoners in it, seeing the sentry give
Genower, struggling in the window,
"a tremendous bayonet thrust in the
chest" afterward "reddening his bay
onet again and again with the blood
of the other men shut up; an ex-
tract from the report Of Captain c.
v. Fox, d. S. O., of the scots Guards,
who was imprisoned in the Branden-
burg Camp in July, and, before es-
Gaping, heard, the story from the
other prisoners, and the accounts of
1.-TWO prisoners of war formerly in
termed at Brandenburg." who wit
messed the occurrence and confirm
ed the Spaniards' version Of it.
The conclusion of the British for
eign Office. from the correspondence,
taking note of the version of one of
the witnesses that the reason for the
sentry's action was that he dare not
let the prisoners get out without an
order from his under officer, who was
not there, is:
"All comment upon action which
r.rcsults in the burning alive of help
less prisoners of war seems super
fuous."

CONGRESSMEN WILL HELP
IN LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-Dis-
posal of the woman suffrage solu-
ton by the senate probably tomor-
row is expected to pave the way for
three days recess of congress while
senators speak for the Liberty loan
and representatives look after their
political fences back home.
The suffrage resolution comes up
in the senate again tomorrow with
prospects OF definite action, either
by a final vote and its defeat or its
withdrawal. Chairman Jones of the
woman suffrage committee said to-
night no plans had been made other
than to cali up the resolution again
and decide after Il fmal poll of
forces, whether to press for a vote
or have it laid aside. The former
course apparently seemed more
probable, although managers Of the
resolution admit they ere several
votes short of the requisite two
thirds majority.
The only important matter now
before the house Is the emergency
water power and $1,000. 100000 army
deficiency appropriation bill. Pas
sage of the former early this week
is planned and the army measure is
expected TO be ready not later than
next week.
