GEORGIA PRISON DOORS YAWN

Jail Is Empty.

Albany, Ga.-Dougherty county jail
is empty for the first time in the mem
DRY of the oldest inhabitant. There
is no record Of a time in more than
half a century when such a condition
existed before. and the announcement
caused something Of local sensation.
Not only is the Jail empty, the doors
of all its cells swinging wide open, but
there are very few defendants out on

able when 1t IS considered that not
only are prisoners for the city and

On Watch for Airplane Scout

exceedingly unpopular with the Ger
man; il had recently put several Of
his guns out of action, besides account
ing Tor a hig minrnwerfcr that had an
noyed the Infantry in the front line
and il was evident that he meant TO
discover its position somehow. There
were several German balloons up as it
was, though fortunate rise In the
ground just hid the battery from their
view. Nor was it likely that on a day
when visibility was so good the enemy
would stop at one casual airplane. It
was far more likely that he would send
them over ut intervals throughout the
day.
And SO 1t happened. Before an
hour was past a second speck appeared
in the sky and again the scene shifting
took place on the blast of the whistle.
This time the hostile plane was shap-
ing a course that would bring it very
nearly over the battery, and the sentry
watched it with some concern. On it
came, the Shrapnel bursting furiously
round II, diving and wheeling to dis
concert the gunnerS' aim. Ii swept
over the battery. went straight on for 4
few minutes, then turned and came
back again. Had it seen anything suS-
piciOuS? The sentry scanned the or
chard sharply. Everything was in per-
feet order. not even bully-beef Tin
lay about to betray a sign Of human
occupation; there were no tracks viSi-
bic across the grass; every trife was
carefully covered up. 1t is on details
like this that the safety of q battery
depends. Upon the slightest hint that
anything is hidden in a particular spot
the airplane calls up its guns and
ranges on the place. And ever after
ward one has the uncomfortable feel
ing that one is suspected and that at
any moment torrent Of Shell may ar
rive.
Pursued by Shrapne.
The plane was pprceptibly lower; it
almost seemed rs If its suspicious
must have been aroused. 1t swept of
toward home. pursued by the bursting
shrapnel that il lodged as if by a
series or miracles. but SuuueuiS IL
seemed to culver, its tail went up, and
it began to dive steeply. The sentry
watched it eagerly through his glasses.
Was it q ruse TO escape the shell, or
was 1t hit? Slowly the plane began to
turn over rs it fell. and then, all "
once, all control seemed to leave II,
and 1t dropped steadily, turning over
and over the sun flashing from its pol
ished fusilage as it did so. Lower and
lower it fell, until only few hundred
feet from the ground, when 1t turned
on It's side and crashed swiftly to earth,
q mile or so from the battery.
The sentry blew his whistle once
more, and the battery returned to its
work cheering and whistling. Every
one had seen the machine come to
earth and was proportionately elated.
But as always. chIvalrous feeling for
their fallen enemy was mingled with
the mems Joy.
"Plucky sportsman, that" said one,
and the rest echoed his sentiments.

GIVE THE BOYS RIFLES
Anne Arunders Liberty Loan Quota
VIII Give Soldiers $4,000 Weapons
That They Know How To Use

The American soldier swears by his
rifle. Machine guns are powerful
weapons, hand grenades and trench
bombs may be handy at times, but
when it comes right down to real sure
enough fighting in the open, where the
enemy can be seen, give the doughbOy
a rifle every time The ease with
which he can pot leaping Boche at
hundred yards has amazed the sol
idiers of the French and British
armies
Give the Yanks time and rifles
enough and they will drive straight
through to Berlin. The boys will do
the shooting. but it is up to those who
stay at home to provide the rifles.
Anne Arundel must provide its share
and it will do it by subscribing its
quota and more Of the fourth Liberty
loan. Do you know what Anne Arun-
del viii be doing if it subscribes only
the minimum quota of 100000 that
has been allotted to this county? 1t
will beputting rifles in the hands of
$4,000 of the boys who are offering
their lives in the cause of their coun-
try. Each rifle used by the American
soldiers costs the Government $25.
Every $50 bond that you buy will put
two rifles in the hands of boys at the
front-and maybe they will be Anne
Arundel boys who are fighting your
fight 5000 miles away from home.
Anne Arundel will buy $4,000 rifles
for the boys over there if it only sub
scribes its minimum quota of the
fourth Liberty loan, but it will do
more than that Remember that every
$1,000 over the quota subscribed
means 400 more rifles for the boys
who know how to use them.

THE INTERPRETATION
OF BIBLE PROPHECY
Attempts To Interpret Prophecy
Literally, Until Ful6llment
Results In Failure
SEEK TRUTH EARNESTLY

At the morning service at the First
Presbyterian Church yesterday, the
pastor Rev. Maurice S. White preached
an interesting sermon on the topic
THE Interpretation of PROFICIENCY"
The preacher among other things
said:
Zone of the most interesting and
distinctive forms of the literature of
the Bible is that of prophecy. Using
the word in its popular sense of the
fo-etelling of future events, it involves
the idea of Divine onmiscience. Only
God can foretell the future with GER
tainay Prophecy represent super
natural power.
There is nothing harder in the Bible
to understand or interpret than its
prophecies, especially those which are
couched~ in the form of visions and
allegories. They can be fully under
stood only when fulfilled.
There are two extremes in dealing
with these prophecies, both Of which
are abnormal One is to suppose that
because of the difficulties entailed in
Interpretation, one should not study
them or make any effort to understand
them. Such an attitude spells death.
The other extreme is to endeaver to
interpret them in the fullness of detail
assigning even names and dates, and
places in regard to their fulfillment
But attempts to interpret literally
before their fulfillment have always
resulted in failure. The rabbis, or
Jewish scholars of the Bible in the
days of Jesus had decided just what
the Messiah or Christ would be like
and all about His Kingdom. with the
result that they failed to recognize
the true Messiah when He came, and
crucified Him for an imposteor. Yet
posterity has agreed that Christ was
far true fulfillment of the Old Tes-
ament prophecies than the Messiah
existing on the imaginations of His
contemporaries.
1.-THE Bible teaches us that Christ
will return to the earth, and it is
well for us to be ready for His COM
ing. But many fantical sects have
ldlicu lutO Tie SMART VI JIylnS " set a
date for His return. In the year one
thousand many watched the sky
day and night, expecting TO see Him
coming on the clouds of heaven. The
Fifht Monarchy men of Cromwell's
time felt sure thoat the Millennium
began when Charles | was beheaded.
Many English mystics set the date
for the Second Advent as 1866. Swe-
denborg chose the year 1857 William
Miller and the Seventh Day Advent
lists preferred the year 1S43.
THE consummation of the age
was to take place in the month of Oc-
eober, 1914. These calculations have
led many people into an unhealthy
state of religious excitement, and
have done far more harm than good
to the cause of religion.
but an earnest seeker after the
true meaning of the prophecy and a
willingness to wait until its fulfill
ment before irving to settle too many
of the details is helpful religious
exercise, and leads to an increased
hope and more optimistic faith"

HOW TO STORE POTATOES

Proper storage of potatoes. accord
ing to specialist of the United States
Department of Agriculture, would pre-
vent much annual loss in this import
ant food crop. inexperienced growers
especially are urged to take safe
guards against spoilage
Potatoes should be stored in a cool.
dark cellar or be buried in pit in the
garden They must not be allowed to
freeze If theyare buried in pits the
potatoes must be covered sufficiently
to keep out all frost If exposed to the
light they will turn green.
A good method of storing potatoes is
to place them in barrels with a few
holes cut in the sides near the bottom
for ventilation Cover the barrels
with old sacks and place them in a
cool, dark part Of the cellar.

THE MERCHANT AND
COMPULSORY RATIONING
Four Things 20 be Considered as
Ali.Embrac-


Edwin G. Baetjer. Federal Food
Administrator, has sent out lengthy
letter on "The Merchants and Com
pulsory Rationing." of which the fol-
lowing is a brief excerpt:
Some small merchants, struggling
with the intricacies of our voluntary
system of rationing food stuffs, have
been apparently inclined to believe
the difficulties would be less If COM
pulsory card system were introduced.
1t is interesting, therefore, TO con-
trast the system in effect in this coun-
try with that now being used in
England, taking the observation from
a merchants standpoint.
1.-THE Food Administration and the
dealers in food stuffs here have been
absolutely together from the begin
ming in their desire to bring about
the necessary conservation of food
with the least possible disarrange-
ment of existing trade methods and a
minimum amount of disturbance to
business in general The compul-
sorry ration system looks simple at
first glance but ii has many phases
which are incompatible with the main
tenance OF trade or normal peace
time basis.
I'm the first place before any ade-
auate compulsory rationing system
can be carried out, the groundwork
must be laid, embracing, among other
things:
I'd An absolute control by the Gov
eminent of all food stuffs.
(2) Some practical method for the
arbitrary distribution of food by the
Government based upon population.
90 The control by the Government
of prices to prevent profiteering.
(4) A very finely decentralized food
corner of every community.
Our people cannot live day by day
under the personal food responsible
tiles thus put upon them without con-
sistently thinking of the battle line
and the 120.O00.O0O allies whom we
must feed.
Governmental regulations, when
carried 10 an excess, produces lndI
paternalism and collectiveness which
are the very core of the Prussian sys-
tenn against which we are fighting.
We glory in the freedom of the Ameri-
can citizen. We pride ourselves on
the Food Administrators faith that
our people are strong enough and 10y
al enough to do their duty voluntarily
and wholehartedly
at should be the aim of every deal
er in food stuffs to foster and encour-
age this war consciousness in his GUS
toners. Nothing could be more ideal
for the furtherance of true patriotism
than the knowledge that our Govern
ment trusts its citizens and permits
them to be its partners and not its
children When you customers real
ize that we must share our food with
the allies as honorably and Clearly
as we fight with them. the citizen
ship OF America will be on sounder
basis and the world more nearly a
safe place for democracy"
