BAND BENEFIT CARNIVAL
CLOSES THIS EVENING

This is the last night of the Lit
tie Giant shows, exhibiting on the
baseball park for the benefit of the
Twenty-frst Home Guard battalion
band, and there should be a record
breaking attendance. The band re-
ceives 10 per cent of the gross pro-
ceeds of the shows, merry-go-round
and Ferris wheel and nothing from
the concessions, and patrons should
remember the band boys when "tak-
ing in the sights.
The proceeds will be used by the
band to pay its expenses to the bat
TALON encampment at Red Lake dur
ing the fair there, and as their serv-
ices will be gratis the heartiest CO.
operation should be theirs.
The shows are all first class and
clean throughout, one of the highest
recommendations carried by a car
nival company, and this feature has
been the occasion of frequent COM
ment of patrons. The various at
fractions are worth while and pro-
vide an evening of much pleasure
and interest.
Take in the Little Giant shows
tonight. Be a booster for the band
and have a good time.

M'GEE FEARS CRISIS
IN COAL DELIVERIES

Washington, Aug 24.-Bitumin-
Gus coal deliveries at the Head Of the
Lakes are nearly 100000 tons be-
bind schedule, Judge J. F. MCGEE
Minnesota Fuel administration, was
advised at Federal administration
h eadQuarters. He said Minnesota
dealers ought to turn at once to the
Illinois fields to make good this short
age.
With other Northwest state admin
istrators and those from states east
of the Mississippi river, Judge MCGEE
is here to confer with DR.. Harry
Garfield to see what can be done to
meet the threatening serious fuel sit
uation.
The first step was to limit the num-
Der of days bituminous coal can be
stored for industrial purposes. In
the Northwest, until further notice,
by-product and gas coal may be stor-
ed only ninety days.
"The fact that last Saturday the
shiments of bituminous coal to the
Northwest were 100000 tons be-
hind the schedule is one worthy of
serious considera tfon," Judge McGee
said in a dictated statement. ut
requires every "ealer, who has the
proper regard lvr the trade hereto
fore supplied by him, to get every
ton of Illinois coal possible, storing
it where necessary.

YANKEE MVENTS BEST GAS
MASK; GREAT IMPROVEMENT

chlopicrin, phosgene, cyanogen
chloride, brombenzlcyanide diphenyl-
chlorarsine, butly mercaptan, stannic
chloride and silicon tetrachloride.
Which is about all the gas the war
has produced. Their less technical
names include tear gas, sneeze gas
and camouflage gas.
An American scientist brought
over for the purpose, invented the
new mask. While the good points
of other masks have not been over
looked, the improvements in the
minds Of American officers who arc
developing the work in gas here on
big scale, are so substantial that
the new model easily can be re-
garded as a purely American inven-
tiOn.

BY Lowell Mellett

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
France, July 81. (By Mail.)-Ameri-
With the American army in
can ingenuity has evolved something
new and better in the way of gas
masks.
1t is a mask that shuts out all
gases as effectively as the present
French, British or German models,
if not more effectively, and it per-
mits natural breathing, through the
nose. 1t is as light and comfortable
as the French mask, which is an i'm
provement on the German model.
But it is American and it grew
out Of the American idea that the
next important stage Of Allied opera
tions, following the certain failure of
Germany's last great offensive, is to
be an Allied offensive. In other
words it is gas mask designed for
offensive operations. 1t is intended
to be worn at long stretches, if
necessary, and to be worn in the
difficult business of advancing, not
merely while holding off an enemy
advance.
HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
Among the advantages claimed for
it is that it permits clear vision, the
strip across the eyes not clouding
when the wearer's breath touches it,;
the weight is deposited at the back Of
the neck and on the shoulders, and
the bungelsome box used in other
respirators is removed from the chest,
where it is always in the way; and,
most important of all, the uncom-
Portable clip on the nose is done away
with. 1t is literally possible to wear
it for hours and forget it's presence.
Officers in various parts of the
line have given the new mask trial,
and their enthusiastic praise has re-
suited in many more calls for
samples. Already several thousand
masks have been manufactured in the
governments big plant in America,
and they will be turned out in suf-
ficient quantity to supply the whole
army by the time they are needed.
1T BEATS ALL THESE
It has been established that the
mask is proof against mustard gas,

PATRIOTIC MEETING HELD MONDAY.

A patriotic meeting was held
at the courthouse Monday. A
large crowd was present and lis
tened with interest to what the
speakers had to say on the ter
ribie war and what our duty is
toward winning it.
The meeting was presided over
by B. I. Quarles, county chair
man of National Defense, and
was opened by reading a mes
sage from the State Council of
National Defense, by John j,
Gore. After a few remarks Mr..
Gore presented Hon. Gus Dyer,
Of Vanderbilt University, Nash
Vile On account of having to
get back to the railroad he was
forced to make his remarks brief
He said the American people are
waking up and are realizing now
how big the job was, and were
going to lend their money to the
government, instead Of giving it
by taxation; that the war was
not going to be won by the army
but by the citizens at home, and
the sooner we get ourselves into
the American uniform of service
the sooner we will be doing some
thing to help win the war.
He was followed by three of
our leading citizens, John w.
Fox, S. S. Carver and Jas. I.
Draper, we'll known farmers of
this county, who delivered forci-
bic appeals for the conservation
of food, buying of War Savings
Stamps and Liberty Bonds, and
helping the government in every
possible way to win the war.
This was the most enthusiastic
meeting ever held here, and in.
Dictated that the citizens are fast
awakening to the gravity of war
and desire to do their part in
backing up the boys in the tren-
ches.
At the close of the meeting
several members of the Jackson
County Red Cross Chapter pass
ed through the audience with
the pledge cards, giving the peo-
pie an opportunity to contribute
to the work of the local chapter.
$SSl.05 was secured in cash and
pledges. This money goes to
buy supplies fer the local chap
ter, which will be made into var
ious garments used by the SOL
diers.
