Mr.. Ed Beckett, county commission
er from this district, told The Leader
man that in the forks of the road at
the conuty line going north he is build
ing a line monument which will stand
forever and a day. The monument
will be about eight feet high and will
rest on a heavy cement foundation.
The foundation is in and the work
above ground is progressing. The
monument will be of red brick set in
black mortar. In the northern side
will be inset a big cement slab with
countersunk black cement lettering,
saying: ssPinellas count line. Tar
pom Springs two miles.-and so on
down to st. Petersburg, enumerating
all the important towns. This is a
very fine thing and Mr.. Beckett de-
serves credit not only for the work
but for the idea.

import of petroleum to Germany Is tu
be brought down to $40 wagons =
month; that of oil fuel to 1000 waae-
ons. No alterations on the present
figures have been made in the new
contract as regards lubricating oil and
paraffin consignments.
4For these reasons the consumption
Of petroleum in Germany will have TO
be considerably restricted this autumn
and winter. Trade petroleum.. e..
those quantities of petroleum placed
at the disposal of the trade-must be
materially limited. The so-called
compensation petroleum (Ausgleichz-
petroleum., on the other hand, can be
obtained in the same quantities as last
year from the state central authorf-
ties for the specially urgent require
ments Of farmers and workers,
as well as for Unforeseen purposes.
"These explanations, although they
can not in any way abate the hard
ships which must arise through lack
Of lighting oil, especially in poor fam
lilies, will, at any rate, serve to show
that the petroleum shortage is not due
to the good or bad will of the authori-
ties, but is a war necessity which can
not at present be altered by anyone =

Oh, FAITHFUL FRIENDl


The Animal World OF London, says
the "brillian correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle, Jhilip Gibbs" tells in
a recent dispatch, this story of a dogs
silent, pathetic devotion: "To a cas-
ualty clearing ..station was brought
a boy of nineteen who had been gass-
ed. He was lifelong paralytic~and
wizened like an old man, and deaf and
dumb. No one knew where he had
come from or to whom he belonged,
but he had one creature faithful to
him. 1t was small dog, who came
on the stretcher with him, sitting on
his chest. 1t watched close to him
when he lay in the hospital, and went
away with him, sitting on his chest
again, when he was sent farther away
to another clearing station" Close
your eyes, reader, see the mental pic
ture of this story, and say, if you can,
that there was no spark of the divine
mystery of life and love in the heart
of that silent but faithful friend.

RESTRICTED CONSUMPTION OF
PETROLEUM.

The Braunschweiger Volksfreund
(Sept. 28) publishes statement by a
petroleum expert on the necessity for
restricting the petroleum consumption
Of the civil population in Germany on
the following war-economic grounds:
"The government has controlled the
rationing of petroleum admirably
from the start, has prevented hoard
ing and profteering, and has, while
avoiding direct compulsion, organized
the production of oil fuel and lubri-
eating oil for war purposes most strin-
gently. Conditions have meanwhile
tered. Even now that the Galician oil
wells have been liberated and good
progress has been made in reviving
the extraction of Roumanian crude oil,
the crude-oil production is not salts
factory. In the working of crude oil,
which can fairly easily be made into
a number of products, the chief of
which are benzine, heavy benzine, tur-
pentine substitute, lighting oil, motor
oil, oil fuel, and lubricating oil, ac-
count must be taken of the increasing
demand for benzine; motor oil, fuel oil,
and lubricating oil for war purposes.
! Consequently very little lighting oil
can be obtained. It suffices to point
to the U-boats and to the increasing
number of flying machines, whose mo-
tors are driven by benzine, also to the
augmenting use Of motors and tech
nical oils in war industries.
I'm addition, future consignments
from Austria are to be smaller. The

SOME GOOD HOG SALES.

HH L4HNE H+ZNAr
Some. of our advertisers with hogs
have reported to us the result of
their advertising in the columns of
the Journal the fact that they had
hogs for sale. George Hill who
grows the Big Bone Poland China,
sold out entirely everything he had
to offer after running his ad. a couple
Of weeks. Ben Ballard, at Verona,
who is also a breeder of the Big Bone
Poland China, after running his ad.
two weeks sold in one week $3.50
worth of his stock. Last week Oscar
Doty inserted an ad. in the Journal
that he had both the Big Bone Poland
China and Duroc Jerseys for sale and
on Tuesday he reported that he. and
two other parties had sold $1225.00
worth of hogs as a, result of that ad.
There was never before such a dis
position among the people to breed
thorough bred hogs ard cattle. They
have fully realized that the cost OF
raising a thorough bred animal is nc
more than hat Of a scrub and the diff
ference in the price of the animals
when placed on the market shows al
together in favor of the thorough
bred animal.

BUSINESS NOTICE

At the beginning of the New Year
I want to thank my friends and pa
irons for their very liberal business
for the past.
1 now want to say that during the
year 1918, / will not do any credit
business at all. I shall keep no books
whatever and will sell goods and
barter only for cash. Please do not
ask us for credit as it is always un-
pleasant to refuse friends, but | have
adopted the cash policy and you must
not embarrass me by asking for cred
it. Last year when everybody was
fiat, we felt it almost a nec4sslty to
extend a little help which we did
gladly, but this year we do not feel
that it is necessary, and while 1T is
not casting any reflections on any
body we find that the losses on credit
sales are greater than the profits,
consequently if l continued on the
present system it would only be a
question of time when | would be
forced into bankruptcy.
Thanking you again for all past
business and promising the best quail
ity Of goods and service, | remain,
with best wishes for a prosperous
year for all of you.

CREAMERY HAS SUCCESSFUL
YEAR.

The Tupelo Creamery, which has
been in operation a little more than a
year, had a very successful and sat-
isfactory business during the year
that has just closed. During the year
the receipts of butter fat run to 3d.
600 pounds for which the plant paid
out in the neighborhaad of thirty
thousand dollars in cash. The quail
ity of the cream received improved
all along during the year and the en-
try of butter at the Alabama-Missis-
sippi fair at Meridian, the Tupelo
Creamery Cos. butter took first prize.
The people Of the county are real
izing that some dairy COWS as an adj
juent to the farm pays we'll. The
daily sale of milk brings in a check
Saturday that enables the farmer to
pay cash for what he buys rather than
run a long time account at high prices
with credit stores. Besides this
weekly income, the farmer is begin
ming to realize that his farm is i'm
proved by keeping plenty of cattle on
it. In the great dairying states an
acre of ground is made to keep a COW
but the Gov is not permitted to run
on it. She is kept on a concrete floor
in many cases and fed and watered
without getting off concrete. With
the surplus of lands in the south this
is not necessary, but the grass from
the pasture can be turned into money
by grazing the dairy herd and the la
Dor necessary to produce food for it
is materially reduced.
Mr.. McLaren and Mr.. Huff, who
have charge of the dairy have placed
it OF a paying basis within the short
time it has been in operation and have
enlarged it's field of usefulness at the
same time. The number Of patrons
is increasing each month and we feel
that 1918 will show a greatly in
CREASED business.
