GUNS CAN'T BE FIRED
WHEN ON THEIR TRUCKS
GENERAL COE EXPLAINS
(By Associated Press,)

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Popular
conception of the railway mount for
the heavy caliber artillery-such as
the 14-inch naval guns used by the
Americans in Francois that these
big guns can be fired as they move
along the tracks. Major General W.
Coe, Of the Coast Artillery, explains
that this is erroneous.
Essentially, a concrete block Is
necessary he says. "Over it the gun
is run on its trucks and then placed
upon the block. We actually take the
trucks out from under the gun when
i. is fired and it stands on a carriage
with an arc Of fire Of $50 degrees. The
gun can be taken from one position
to similarly prepared position.
For the defense of the country from
a naval attack, General Coe declares
it is we'll known where the blocks
will be needed and that preparations
can be made long ahead Of time as a
part of the regular fertilization pro-
gram.

GEORGIA COUPLE REUNITED AFTER
THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS SEPARATION

Valdosta, Ca, Aug. 10-Fr0m Jas
per, Fla, comes a story Of romance
that shows fiction is not in the same
class with truth.
Thirty-eight years ago W. R. Nc.
Donald. a young blacksmith living in
Jasper, fell in love with pretty Miss
Zaida Faircloth, the reigning bell Of
Jasper. After the usual courtship
the young people were married and
removed from Jasper to Luraville,
Fla. Several year safter this the
couple disagreed to such an extent
that a separation ensued and Mrs.
Mcdonald came to relatives In Geor-
gia.
A number Of years elapsed and Mr..
Mcdonald heard that his wife was
drowned. Though separated the cou-
/, pie had never been divorced. Strange
ly enough about the same time Mrs.
Mcdonald, in her Georgia home heard
that her husband had moved to Mad
: iosn, Fla. and was killed in a fight
there. Husband and wife each being
satisfied that the other was dead, felt
perfectly free and in the course OF
more years each married again. Mr.
Mcdonald married Miss Matte Nc
Cullers. of Jasyer, and they had three
children. Two years ago the second
Mrs. Mcdonald died.
The first Mrs. Mcdonald, who had
also married again, lived with her
second husband for time, and they,
too, were separated, and hence it
came to pass that both husband and
wife, who had never been divorced,
and each believed the other dead, be-
came alone in the world again.
A few weeks ago through an ac-
cident Mrs. Mcdonald learned that
her first husband was alive, and Sc
curing his address she wrote to him.
He answered promptly and with the
exchange of these letters the old
flame of first love leaped high and
Mr.. Mcdonald turned his automobile
toward the Georgia town in which
Mrs Mcdonald was making her
home. When he returned to Jasper
Mrs. Mcdonald was with him. Never
having been legally separated there
was NO legal need for another cere-
mony, they learned after consulting
an attorney.

AN APPEAL TO THE EMOTION
Is THE PAYING" SORT

Advices from London say that rs
clergymen starved to death in Eng
land last year.
The Revernd Billy Sunday has re.
tired in affiuence, after a few years Of
picturesque pulpitry.
The chances are that any one of the
rs starvelings was more highly" ed
ucated than, and fully intellectual as,
Mr.. Sunday.
The chances are that each strived
to do his ministerial duty in fully as
great degree as Mr.. Sunday did.
Why does the world reward one
man with rags and another with
riches?
Why is one starved and one sur.
feited?
Is not the difference entirely in the
angle Of the appeal?
The world is emotional. And sensa.
tional. II you can feed its emotions
It will reward you. II you appeal to
its mentality. you may starve and
welcome.
We pay Charlie Chaplin a million
a year to excite our risible emotions.

children's training gets million for it
in just about thousand years. Very
few of them live to collect the full
amount

LAKELAND MINISTER LIKES
CANADA BUT HE PREFERS TO
LIVE In GOOD OLD FLORIDA

Rev. c. I. Stacey, who has beea
spending some time in Canada On IA
well-earned vacation, has written the
following letter to his friends in
this city:
Dear Lakeland Folk:
Have you read about going into o
foreign land, and having a fierce
customs officer tear your luggage oil
up to see If you were smuggler::
And have you dreaded that expert
snce? Well, ! have done all of that,
too. But, like most Of the troubles
we dread, it didn't happei. When I
crossed the line, that Canadian Gus
tom officer just had me open my bag
gage, glanced at it, and asked me
where / came from. And just as
quick as l said Lakeland. Florida
ne was all smiles, and told me to go
right ahead. So, really, like the pic
ture in the dentists Office. 1T didn't
hurt Bit" And on both sides of the
line 1t seems to me l have seen
enough corn and wheat to feed the
world for a year. And yet / have
barely seen the outside edge Of the
real crop. Dollar wheat" was once
considered equal to prosperity, but,
now It is quoted at 50. 80, and up.
Canada does not seem so very diff
ferent from the States. / have been
entertained in one beautiful farm
home where the garden was filled
with almost every kind of flower and
vegetable that we have. But the diff
ference is that this only lasts about
six months, while we have growing
season of twelve months. Yes, Flor
ida for me!
find many Canada folk who know
Lakeland; and many more who are
going to know it next winter. Those
California earthquakes are going to
double our visitors next winter. and
everybody that possibly can had bet
ter put on more rooms to their hous-
es, build more bungalows and any
other kind of shelter possible, orr
next January will find tourists camp
ing on our front porches and begging
for a place to sleep. If every carpen-
ter and brick layer in Florida is
kept busy every day, we will not meet
the demands Of next Winter.
wish could be in Lakeland right
now building something, but the time
has come when must rest and I am
trying to do It, But there are so
many kind friends, so much to see,
80 much to do! But am resting
really, and always talking Lakeland.
