WORLD's B|CGEsT
 GUN |S FINISHED
Uncle Sam's Builders Are Confident Monster Weapon Has Range of
 IA Miles.

Philadelphia, Pa., April 26.-Uncle Sam's biggest gun, designed to throw shells a distance of IA miles, has just been completed. It passed through Philadelphia on it's way to a point on the Atlantic seaboard, where it will be given the final tests. It was made at the Midvale Steel Works, mounted at the Eddystone plant of the Baldwin Locomotive works, and weighs 500,00O pounds, or more than 200 tons.
 Ten shots are to be fired in the tests to ascertain the extreme range of the weapon, but it's designers are confident it will shoot 114 miles.
 Nine others are being built and all will be on the battle front before cold weather sets in. The cannon is so constructed that it is called a mo- bile gun, despite it's huge size and weight.
 It was mounted on a specially con- structed carriage and car. It can be used for coast defense or aboard ship, once it is riveted tight, but it is primarily intended for land de- fense.

NEWPORT DID HER

Stages Grand Celebration With Clos ing of Business, Parade, Speak

Newport did not only Ego over the top" with her money, but in her cele- bration of Liberty Day she was again equal to the occasion and showed her patriotism in various ways on Friday afternoon. Front street was deserted as far as business was con cerned and half holiday was gen. orally observed from the schools to all business houses. County Chair man George A. Hillhouse, with his efficient body of helpers, report the ccunty's quota to be $264,600 and so far have raised $322 2,250, which is one of the biggest and most success ful drives ever made in the county end one of which every citizen should feel proud. Let the good work go on, and it will, and the big demonstration on Friday, was in q small measure to prove to our boys who are lover there" that we are with them heart and soul and dollars too. ABs
 The big parade formed at the court house at 1:30 and with H.. c. Patton, grand marshal and Harry Grimes, assistant, riding white horses and looking like real generals, the line of march started Following these were the home guards, boy scouts, civilian footmen, big delegation of patriotic colored citizens and twenty automobiles, everything being decor ated with the national colors.
 After passing through the streets designated for the parade, the people gathered at the school auditorium, where big community chorus of fif- ty voices, under the direction of Mrs. Reamey, sang a number of patriotic songs. Hon. Jos. M. Stayton, of our own city and Judge Dene H. Coleman of Batesville, delivered patriotic ad- dresses that the people were fortun- ste in hearing. MT. Stayton was never heard to better advantage and it was source of pride to his friends.
 Judge Coleman is also a popular speaker on public occasions, and his talk on Friday came up to his usual high standard. Judge Coleman has been very active all over his judicial district in the Liberty Bond drive.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consld-
cred any plan Of selling foodstufrs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy of this kind suggested Tor
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
Obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls Of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandlsts and part
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
mlslnformed housewives
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practlced on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials In Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs, and theirs alone.

POULTRY NOTES
More. Chicken Campaign.

MOre-Chlcken campaign.
First, a few figures:
According to the last census, OF
6,271, 500 farms in the United States,
|1.527,743 reported no egg production.
This is one of the big facts on
which is based the endeavor to dou-
bic this year the chicken and egg
production of the United States. 1t
Is an almost unbelievable fact to
those numerous persons who have re-
garded a chicken dinner as the acme
OF luxury and who have paid high
prices every winter for eggs. But 1t
is fact, and it has much to do with
the more chickens and more-eggs
campaign that is expected to displace
millions of pounds of beef and pork
in American menus and send the re-
leased product across the ocean to
cur soldiers, the allies, and the hun
CRY people of the lands devastated by
the Prussian war torch.

Hens to Win the War?

The recognized Importance of food
in the greatest war makes it seem
that the hen must take her place
among those who are helping to win
1t for the forces of democracy. This
place will be an important one in
proportion to the response this year
to the call for increased chicken and
egg production. The hen, of course,
always has shown willingness to do
her duty, and doubtless she is willing
row. All that is to be done is for
her masters, the farmers of the ma
ton, and the city dwellers who are
helping on backyard scale, to make
sure that the hens opportunity will
not be neglected.

House the flock comfortably; keep
houses dry and we'll ventilated, al

Remodel the old house-stop
cracks and eliminate drafts.
Give hens a good straw litter to

Never allow the mother hen to
range with the young chicks until
they are at least two weeks old.
Enormous numbers of young chicks
are lost each year by allowing them
to run in the wet grass during their
early life.
Shade and range for chickens will
e,ve the best results. Hot sun re-
tards growth. There should be trees,
corn, sunflowers, ETC., on the range
to provide shade during the hot sum-
ner months. Chickens on range pick
up much of their food.

Why Hatch Early.

Chickens hatched early in the
srring are large in the summer, ma
ture early in the fall, and lay eggs
in the winter. They will sit early
the following spring, produce earlier
chickens-and the process will be
repeated by the offspring.
But the chickens hatched olate in
the spring will not mature until late
in the fall-so late that they will not
lay in the winter. They will not sit
until late in the following spring
and again the process will be repeat
ed.
The jury finds that the argument
is all in favor of early hatching-
especially this year.

EFFORT MADE TO
INSURE FIGHTERS

The Treasury Department is max
ing every effort to have every mem
ber of Americas fighting forces take
advantage of the government insur-
ance plan, which Secretary McAdoo
asserts to be "the most just and hu-
nGne provision ever made by any ma
tion for its soldiers and sailors"
The purpose is rapidly being
achieved, the insurance having pass
ed the third billion mark in the total
of policies written. and there are
nany military units in which every
member has taken insurance.
The automatic insurance provided
by the law is only partial and limited
protection, payable only to wife,
child or widowed mother, and ceases
after February -. 1918. 1t is i'm
portant, therefore, not only to the
soldiers and sailors of the country
but to their families and dependents,
that before that date they avail
themselves Of the full government
protection, which can go as high as
$4,000 and is payable to wife, hus-
hand, child, grandchild, parent,
brother or sister.
The law also provides for the re-
education and rehabilitation of the
totally disabled and monthly compen-
sation to those disabled.

Early Hatched Chickens Stronger.
The early hatched chicken is not
cnly the chicken that lays the winter
egg, but it is the chicken best able to
withstand disease and parasites,
1t is in the midsummer months
that chickens are hurt most by lice.
The late Matched chicken has not had
time to become large or strong
enough to resist lice attacks, but the
early Matched chicken by midsummer
has become strong and hardy enough
to do So And because the early de-

Why Farmers Should Raise More
Chickens and Eggs.

More chickens and more eggs will
release more meat for our armies and

chickens and our eggs-we can, and
like to eat them.
Poultry can be increased more rap
idly and more economically than any
of the meat animals.
