CHILDREN MAY
GET REAL WAR RELIC

Any school child of Madison
county may obtain free of cost a
real souvenir of the World War
|if he takes advantage of the op-
portunity that is now offered. A
real hand grenade, such as Uncle
Sans boys in khaki used when
they went over the top and
pounced down upon the boche, is
theirs. for asking.
Federal Director Wilson of the
War Savings Organization for
the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict, St. Louis, has about 10000
of these grenades, available for
the school children of Missouri,
Arkansas. and Kentucky. Dis
tribution will be made in this
city through the agency author
lied to sell, War Savings Stamps
during 1919.
The only requirements is that
the pupil be under ,18 years of
age, and that he buy from the
authorized agency at least one
War Savings Stamp before re-
ceiving the grenade.
In view Of the fact that there
are many hundreds of thousands
of pupils of an age to entitle
them to one of these genuine
trophies and only 10000 avail
able, quick action will be neces-
sary to obtain one.
Thus one of the wars most
deadly weapons is converted into
an instrument to instill in the
minds of the young the spirit of
thrift. The weapon, before it
was sent on its peaceful mission
was rendered harmless. The
charge of T. N. T. that it con-
tained, and the detonator and fuse
have been removed, and slot
has been cut so that pennies and
dimes may be dropped in.
In most cases the distribution
is made through banks or trust
companies. This city was one of
the first in the state to obtain
supply Of the grenades.

AUTO TRAFFIC LAWS TO
Be RICIDLY ENFORCED

A great deal of complaint has
been made to officers in regard
to speeding of cars on the out
skirts of Richmond, by residents
especially in the western part OF
the city. The speed law, which
provides that cars must keep
down to fifteen miles per hour is
being trifed with by large
number of motorists, and it has
reached such a point, that traffic
officers will be placed on the out
skirts of the city, who will make
arrests of all violaters.
The law providing that owners
of cars must adhere to the age
Of drivers under sixteen years is
being overlooked, and this week
the officers will be on the look
out for such violaters, and a
fine reaching the limit will be inn
posed.
Inc newspapers over the state
have contained many accidents
in the past week, which might
have easily been avoided if the
laws regulating the autoists had
been more strictly enforced.
The city officials intend to do
their part in seeing that the law
is enforced in the city, so a
word to the wise should be
sufficient

HEAVY BUYING
CAUSES SHORTAGE
And Is Largely Responsible For
Present Sugar Condition,
Prominent Dealer Says

The sugar shortage has hit
Richmond hard at last. Reports
today were that there is practk
cally none to be obtained in town
That shortage has been caused
to considerable extent by house
wives becoming frightened lest
there be a shortage and endeav-
oring to buy supplies to put away
for the future seems to be indi-
Gated, according to statements OF
big dealers in the staple. .4
A prominent local wholesale
dealer this week gave the Daily
Register the following statement
in respect to the present situa-
ton, which will be of interest to
everyone. He, said: :,.,,.
During the last five weeks there
has been great increase in pur-
chases of the manufacturers and
housewives, brought about, no
doubt, by newspaper reports en-
couraging people to buy sugar.
The invisible supply was depleted
and naturally, with this great in
crease in buying, the refners
were not able to cope with the
situation. A similar situation
could have happened at any time.
That is, if the people would hold
off buying for given period and
then all buy at once it would re-
suit inevitably in conditions sim
liar to the one we are facing. By
invisible supply is meant the
reserve stocks in the hands of the
manufacturers, jobbers, retailers,
and even housewives.
This shortage can be develop
ed at any time by hysterical buy
ing and boarding, and can be
avoided if the consumers confine
themselves to their normal pur-
chase. Wholesale grocers can
aid greatly in this situation by
having their statesmen explain
matters to the retailers and re-
quest the retailers in turn to ex-
plain conditions to the house
wives, at the same time counsel
ing the housewives to purchase
in normal quantities. A repre-
sentative refner has adopted a
policy of selling on the basis of
previous average monthly sales
of sugar to its customers only on
previous average monthly pur-
chases. If any of its customers
can show to this refner from
whom he customarily buys that
he mas not received this average
monthly amount, the deficit, if
substantiated, will be made up
by the re6ner.
The Sugar Equalization Board
has announced that no sugar will
be shipped for export for the next
month. 1t is rumored that this
order may be extended beyond
that time. This should help the
situation in the country, espec-
tally during the canning season.
1t is stated by refners general
ly, that if the wholesale grocers
had. anticipated their needs, say
in April and May, as they were
requested to do, there would now
be no reason for shortage by the
wholesale grocers, in the face of
an unusual increase in the refin-
ing of sugar.

ALL FARM CROPS
EXCEPT COTTON IN
NEED OF RAINS

But little inroads have been made
during the past week by the cotton
boil weevil due to the dry hot wealth
er prevailing, which, however, has
been a disadvantage to most other
crops, according to the weekly wealth
err and crop condition report of the
weather bureau. The report follows:
The temperature was generally
moderate during the week.
The week was practically rainless
one over most of the state, the ex-
where moderate rains occurred. and
locally in the peninsula The absence
! of rain was the rule, however.
The absence of rain enabled farm
| ers to clean most fields of grass, and
from that view point the week was
generally a favorable one. Cotton was
well cultivated and Improvement was
made over previous weeks. Plants are
| smaller than usual, however, for the
period, and the crop generally is not
up to the average. There is much
bloom in fields of the early planted.
! The weevill is complained of general
| ly, but the fair weather and moderate
hot days were unfavorable for much
activity by the pest
| Corn on high lands needs rain very
much. and that on most low lands
would be improved by moderate rains.
Fields of late corn were cleaned of
grass. Much early planted corn is
| about matured, and the crop is gen.
! orally laid by. The crop as a whole,
| is good. Cane, peanuts, melons, field
| peas and tobacco need moderate rains
| The bulk of the melon crop has been

whre shipping continues. The tobac-

an excellent one. Citrus fruits con-

new COMPRESS
MOVEMENT IS
BEING PUSHED
NEED OF THIS FACULTY is
URGED TO MAKE PENSACOLA
IMPORTANT COTTON EXPORT
CENTER.

Pensacola business men are backing
a movement for the construction here
of an $4,000 high density cotton com
press which would make the harbor
the port of call for cotton from prac-
! tically all of Alabama and a liberal
share OF Georgia. Tennessee, Missippi
| and other southern states where the
staple Is grown in immense quantities
The compress would be able to
handle approximately 100000 bales a
year and would dispose OF 10 bales an
hour.
The Rotary and Kiwanis clubs have
given the strongest encouragement to
the movement and shipping and cotton
men stated last night that the pro-
posed project would give to Pensacola
one OF the biggest boosts in years
AT present local shippers are com
PEELED to transport cotton to the out
side world through the ports Of Hous-
ton. Galveston. New Orleans and Sa-
vannah- The compress here would
give another gulf outlet to the world
and would add immensely To the bulk

harbor.
In order to insure transportation of
cotton from Pensacola it must con-
form to the requirements of the u. s.

compression through a high density

HOSPITALS
RED CROSS TO
TREAT CASSED
FIFTEEN INSTITUTIONS ESTAB-
LISHED IN CONNECTION WITH
HOME SERVICE WORK FOR RE-
TURNED SOLDIERS.

Atlanta, Ga, June 26-It isn't a
pleasant matter to be gassed, The
hundreds of overseas veterans who
have been discharged from the SER
vice only to find the recurrent nature
of of their injuries brought them to
the hospitals established by the u. S.
Public Health Service will vouch for
that. But it is a pleasant thought for
them to learn that the American Red
Cross. which was with them constant
ly overseas, will stick with 'em" and
will furnish the same sort of service
as it has long done at the strictly mill
tary hospitals.
Fifteen hospitals to care for dis
charged soldiers who have been unable
to keep up with the stringent demands
of active civil life have been estab-
lished in the Southern division. The
largest of these is located at Green
vile, S. G. with 500 patients already
listed, number increasing by fifteen
and twenty daily. Practically every
one of these overseas veterans is suf-
fering from tuberculosis, brought about
from the effects of gas.
The hospital at GreenvilIe was for
merly the base hospital for the ma
tional army cantonment, Camp Sewer,
and the Red Cross is planning to place
six workers there within a short time
to include a director. house mother
a trained social worker and an as. ST
ant, a recreational specialist, and a
stenographer. This corps of workers
will be in charge of the recreation
welfare work, and home service ac-
tivities at the hospital.
