SPEED IN BUILDING WARSHIP.
New York Company Completes Big
Vessel in Twenty-seven Days.

The steel collier Tuckahoe was
launched from the Camden ways of
the New York Shipbuilding Company
at 1890 o'clock Sunday forenoon,
thereby establishing worlds record
in rapid ship construction.
The record was twenty-seven days,
two hours and fifty minutes. This
means that within that period $500
ton steel steamship was built from
keel to truck and launched practically
complete in every detail-boilers in
place, engines installed, masts stepped,
funnel in place, propeller fitted, rud-
der hung and only finishing touches
to be put on. Z
The Tuckahoe was to have been de-
livered on June Is. The company
therefore got her out forty-one days
ahead of time.
The vessel has a length of $50 feet,
a beam of so feet, and will be endowed
with speed Of 10k knots.
This accomplishment of building a
steel steamship of this bulk in a frac-
tion more than twenty-seven days is
one of the marvels of the day. 1t sur
passes any record hitherto made in
any shipyard of the world. The best
record of any British shipyard is said
to be about two and half months.
Previous to our entrance into the war
American shipyards had not out
stripped British competitors in the
rapid construction of merchant ton
mage.

RED CROSS BUILD
ERECT CENTRAL STRUCTURE AT
U. S. REGENERATION CAMP.
Panorama Photograph of Site To Be
Made Each Week to Show Prog
ress of the Great Undertaking.

The American Red Cross is to erect
one of the largest buildings at the
United States recuperation camp now
building east of Denver. The struct-
ure will be 100x125 feet and will oc-
cupy almost the exact center of the
grounds.
The Red Cross building is wholly
Independent of the government struct-
ures and will be built wholly with
Red Cross funds. The construction
of this building will be carried along
with the others by c. S. Lambie, the
general contractor, and it will also be
of concrete, steel and hollow tile with
stucco, conforming with the others on
the site.
Major w. j. Cameron, in charge of
construction of the camp for the gov
ernment, has forty-eight building sites
already staked out, and grading on the
streets is well under way, while con-
struction has been started on the ad-
ministration and three other build
ings. Mr.. Lambie has erected tower
from which a panorama photograph
of the site will be taken once a week.
A copy of this photograph will be for
warded to Washington SO that Off
cials may see the progress of the work
from week to week.

spur track from the main line to the

COMING WHEAT CROP
9|S,92o,OOO BUSHELS
Yield Of Corn is Estimated at
2,717,775,OOO Bushels.

Washington, Oct. 9.-General and
national improvement in crop pros
poets on October l, over those of
month ago, was shown by the depart
ment of agriculture's monthly re-
port.
Corn, which had a big loss in pros
pective production as a result of July
and August weather improved to the
extent of 100000 bushels, and now
gives prospects Of a 2,717,775 000-bush-
ell crop. which would be 441. 100000
bushels smaller than last years.
Spring wheat during the month i'm
proved to the extent of about 20,000,-
600 bushels, making a crop of 363,-
10000 bushels, or 131 100000 bushels
more than produced last year. With
this addition to spring wheat, the total
wheat crop, including winter wheat
now in prospect, is 91S,920,000 bushels.
That comes close to the 100000, 900
bushel mark set by the government
last fall to meet the war needs of
America and the allies.
This years tobacco crop will be the
largest ever grown.

WATCH AGAINST FOOT
And MOUTH DISEASE

of Agriculture Official
Reminds Americans of Ever Pres
ent Danger of Possible Outbreak
In This Country.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 8.-Pub-
lie officials, veterinarians and stock
owners should be on guard to report
Immediately any cases of foot-and-
mouth disease that may appear in
his country, according to a stater
ment by DR.. ]. r. Mohler, Chief OF
he Bureau of Animal Industry, US
Department of Agriculture. DR.. Moh>
.er said:
Recent cable news announces an
outbreak of foot-and-moutL disease
n England which brings to mind the
serious outbreaks of that disease
which have been experienced in the
United States.
"Foot-andMouth disease has ap-
oeared in England from time to time,
IS it has done in the United States.
n both countries the past outbreaks
lave been promptly controlled and
aradicated and no cases have occur
red in the United States since 1916.
Nevertheless, the disease makes its
appearance at irregular intervals.
In this country we may expect its
return at any time although every
precaution is being taken by the Fes:
sral authorities to prevent the intro
duction of the disease, especially
from the present outbreak in Eng
and. So long as communication is
maintained with other countries the
LANCER of the reintroduction of the
disease must be acknowledged.
1T is of the greatest importance
hat sharp watch be maintained by
all officials, by practicing veterinari-
ans, and by stock owners, in order
hat the very first cases may be dis
covered and the spread of the dis
ease prevented. 1t would be great
misfortune to the United States il
toot-and-mouth disease should occur
under present conditions or become
.irmly established in the country, as
mas been the case in many of the
stock-raising nations of Continenta
Europe Early discovery of the dis
ease, followed by prompt elimination
Of infected centers, is the only way
o prevent the United States from be
coming permanently infected"

Though over sixty Of age when she

Mr.. Pierce says:
Il have bean in the same business

subscriber TO the telephone service
during that time, at the rate Of three
$4,000 per month
Since October last when our tele-
phone number was changed and q
new contract made, the bills have
been coming in regularly at the
monthly rate Of So, and lave been
paid at that rate! At no time during
this period has the charge for "addi-
tional local messages" been more
than 30 or 40 cents, and most Of the
time there has been no overcharge
at all.
"Under exactly the same condi-
lions and with no increased use Of
the telephone whatever, enclosed with
our bill for May Is the following:
Two hundred and six additional
local messages at 5 cents each for
March, l9lS-S10.30."
"If this bill is not paid, no mat
ter how unjust It may be, the tele-
phone company will promptly dis
continue my service. Is there any
remedy?"
