How Machine Guns Work.

An automatic machine gun can dis
charge $50 cartridges of fully load
ed belt In less than % seconds. The
loading of the cartridge belts is, in
comparison. n leisurely occupation To
slip $50 separate cartridges, by hand,
into their individual loops in the car
fridge belt Is tedious and expensive.
To expedite matters, little loading
device has been evolved.
Layers of cartridges, as they are re-
moved from the standard box Of car
tridges, are slipped into the vertical
guide, the belt entered between feed
wheels of the loading device and the
crank, turned, just as one would op-
crate the handle of an ice cream ma
chine. The cartridge belt issues on
the near side with cartridge prop
erly inserted In each successive belt
loop. In very few minutes the belt
Is fitted with it's complement Of $50
cartridges and is ready for imme-
diate use.

PAST STILL VITAL IN JAPAN
Why Ancient Heroes Are Able to Ex-
ert an Enormous Influence on the
Peoples Minds.

No wonder that Japan's past Is liv-
Ing past, Gertrude Emerson writes in
Asia Magazine. The ancient heroes
are not dead, but exert their subtle
influence through the intimate contacts
or the daily life of the people. One
meets them under a thousand guises-
as legends imprinted on the common
blue and white towels upon which the
people wipe their hands, as the ever
fresh inspiration for artists In choos-
Ing subjects for their paintings, in the
commemOration festivities at the count
less temples, in the illusions scattered
through the Hundred Poems," famil-
lar to the lips of every man, woman
and child in Japan, reappearing in the
classic "Noh" dramas inherited from
the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries
in the popular theaters, and finally, so
mat no one may escape, in the mo
vies.' All the really cultural roots of
Japan are buried deep in the past, and
although the Japanese student of to-
day is thrust unceremOniously into a
modern school system of western der
walton, his western education sits but
lightly upon him. He never breaks
free of his own inherited influences.

How Waste of Light Is Prevented.

One of the considerable sources of
fuel waste is the unnecessary burning
of electric lights. A large percentage
Of lights are used chiefly for limited
periods, as for instance in cloak rooms.
They are turned on and then heed
lessly left burning. Thus we are con-
stantly recommended to shut off need
less lights as matter of national say-
ing.
An invention designed to remedy
this condition Is the work Of J. e.
Lewis of New York. BY pushing a
button the light is turned on and CLOVIS
for a predetermined period-say, FIVE
or ten minutes-and then Is automatic
ally cut Off. The device has been
tested and found practical and seems
useful In the way of checking electric
light waste.

How Finger Replaced Thumb.

A wonder Of modern surgery was
seen by the king and queen in the
course of their visit Of inspection to
the Reading war hospital No. 1. Pri-
vate Beesley, who was pianist before
he became soldier, had the thumb of
his right hand shot away In action.
The surgeons, foreseeing that this
would be a grave handicap to him
again in civil life, undertook to trans
plant the third finger Of his left hand
on the place where his thumb had been.
The operation was quite successful.

he expected to be able to play again

John Sharp Williams, Democratic
senator from Mississippi, said in the
Senate that the reason the Republi-

was that they had been better sup
porters of the war than the Demo-
Gratis had. This would have been bet

now, it affords fine commentary on
the course of the President in reward
ing such support by an appeal to the
country to save next Congress for the
partisan brand of Democracy.-Na-

JAPANESE AND GLASSWARE

The Japanese are today manufac-
turing window glass, bottles, lantern
globes, watch crystals, etc. They have
purchased the right to use the Owens
machine, and also the rights of the
American Window Glass Company.
They have a representative in this
country now, trying to make tour of
the glass industry, with view of ac-
curing by any means, all of the latest
improvements that American industry
have devised.
This combined with low wages, both
in operation of their plants and the
cost of their materials, together with
the low freight rates that the Japa-
nese steamers have inaugurated in or
der to permit the disposal of their
products in foreign markets, will
make it impossible for the American
manufacturers to compete, even If
the railroads would deliver our goods
to the inland seaport, and our new
American merchant marine would
carry them to the South American
market free.
The japanese are also sending in
creasing quantities of glassware into
the United States. They are deliver
ing lenses in San Francisco, at less
than the labor alone costs in this
country; and the American Economist
is reliably informed that they are de-
livering in India, tubular lantern
globes at IL cents a dozen, while the
labor cost alone in this country is
about 20 cents. 1t is clear what a
menace this is to the American glass
industry. Adequate Protection is
needed.-American Economist.
There is just one way labor can
peacefully hold it's present wage.
That is by the raise in the Tariff
to Protective basis that will equalize
our wage with the English wage
anywhere from one-third to one-half
the American scale. Without this
tariff protection, wages must go
down, and nothing under the sun can
stop the reductions unless all wages
stop by closing the mills and factories.

Exports from the United States to

900 for the nine months ended Sep
TENDER 20, 1918, or $43,000,000 less
than for the 1917 period. Imports
from foreign countries to the United
States for the same period totaled
$2,828, 100000, or $40,000,000 more
than for the 1917 period. AS the de-
mand for war supplies wanes in Eu-
rope our exports decline while i'm
ports continue to increase under the

fact that, comparing the 1917 and

Our total imports for the month of

$4,000, on which we realized about
$13,OO0,O0 in customs duties, or slight

Million Farmers Back County Agents

At present more than 100000
farmers are members of organizations
assisting the county agent in his work.
Through these. organizations the
American farmer and his family are
now in close personal touch with a
large corps of well-trained men and
women so linked with Federal and
State institutions for the promotion
of agriculture that farming people can
readily avail themselves of the results
of scientific research and practical ex-
perience the world over to aid them
in their work on the farm and their

LIFE AGAIN BECOMES =
MORE VALUED Thing
Change of Attitude Is Now Quite
Apparent-FIyers Take No
Risks.

One of the consequences OF the ces-
SETON Of hostllities, which did not at
once manifest itself, is now becoming
apparent. 1t is the appreciation Of the
value OF human life. The change Of
attitude, which necessarily is gradual,
already has become quite marked.
Less than month ago thousands of
men were being killed every day and
hundreds of thousands were exposing
themselves to death. Danger and
death were then the cOmmOnest things
in the world. The public mad become
hardened by repetition to horrors and
suffering.
though they never were conscious of
their probable fate, could steel them
selves to their task because they re-
membered what hosts of others had
done. But so quickly does nature re-
assert itself when given the chance
that there is a perceptible reaction to.
ward the normal. The wholesale
slaughter has stopped, the incentive
to expose ones self is gone, and life
has become a dearer and more valued
thing.
A man who just conducted a party
of tourists to the old battlefields told
a writer that he had passed several
big aviation fields, and there was not
single plane in the air. Almost no
flying is being done there now.
Another sign of the returning sense
of proportion is the fact that rail-
road wreck in which 6S were killed,
got twO-line head in the papers.

HOW PROPER SENSE OF

~ w SMELL MAY BE
RESTORED TO HUMANITY.
AT Etretat, noted French port,
1t Is the custom for each herring

of a shOal of herrings by it's
means, and can even, so Cap
tain Irwin tells us in Fish

tween behring's and dogfish.

wings close to his nostrils, and
inhales gently, but is careful not
to sniff. A bewildering number
Of scents has thus been de-
tected.
Naturally the power of smell
varies much in different people,
and would appear to be particu-
larry developed in the Chinese,
TO whom Europeans are said to
smell like sheep. Efforts are
beginning to be made to train
the sense of smell in little chill

1t is fitting that a tribute be paid
to the memory of Sarah Clark, col.
ored nurse in the family of D. G,
Ross of Tie Plant, whose death oc-
Cured on November Goth.
Forty sever years ago, Sarah
Clark entered the service of Mrs.
Mary Lamar Ross, and remained with
her, as a faithful and trusted serv-
ant and friend, until the death of
the latter.
Upon her death bed, Mrs. Ross
called Sarah Clark to her bedside,
and, commencing her affectiarately
for her long and faithful service. en-
trusted to her care young Mrs. DON
aid Ross.
When the end came, loving eyes
watched Sarah with tender and So
licitous attention, for all knew that
her Mistress was her idol, and that
her sad heart must be near to break
ing.
But sustained by her Christian
Faith and by the charge, Sacred in
her eyes, which she had accepted,
calmly and bravely she began at
once to carry out her trust, now the
mission of her life.
The controlling purpose, the ideal
Of her life, was Faithful Service"
and fully, and truly, she kept faith
with her ideal.
Who can say that such an ideal
is a lowly one? Who al deny that
it is an exalted and enobling one,
when the motto Itch Diem" Il serve)
is emblazoned on the coat of arms
Of the proudest royal blood in all the
world?
The personality of Sarah Clark
was unusual and striking. l never
knew knew n possessed OF more
natural dignity than this calm, I'M
assuming negro woman.
] shall go further and state that |
never knew one, however exalted his
position, who inspired greater de-
ference than she.
She was the nurse of Mr.. ID. G..
Ross, and she lived to train the lisp
ing tongues and guide the little feet
of his three children, who loved her
with a tender devotion, different
from, but not less than that accord
ed their parents.
Fortunate indeed, is the child who
has been blessed with the service of
an Old Southern Nanny.
From the time that Mr.. Donald
Ross was a mere youth, her attitude
toward him was, that ''The King can
do no wrong"
She sleeps in the shade Of noble
trees, within sight of the home,
where she had served her adOred
Mistress for many years; SO near,
that the little children, whom she
had nursed, can keep her grave for
ever green.
She passed away with LOVING
friends, white and black at her bed
side.
Her attendants reported that Just
before the end, her face became plac-
il, and serene, her eyes opened and
into them came a beautiful and
brilliant light.
Who can doubt that the %Splendors
CT Heaven were unfolded to her Wis
ION and that her eyes beheld the
smiling, welcoming face of her. be-
loved Mistress?

eminent
The proprietor, Mr.. c. Workman,
comes to Grenada from West Plains,
Mo. The business is not a new one
to him. He has had a long and va
ried experience with live stock and
for a number of years has been con
nected with the manufacture of anti
hog cholera serum. Mr.. Workman
has come to Grenada and invested his
money, bought a residence, moved

iZen.
1t is well known that cholera used
to sweep off the hogs by the thou
sands. 1t was the lettering thing,
to the hog industry in this section.
Now it is a rare thing that any great
number die of it and to the hog
cholera serum must be given credit
for this achievement. Write or call
