is also probable that the stand in

Retrieving Barbed Wire.

The problem of retrieving the
buried and broken barbed wire on The
battlefields of Flanders and northern
France is being tackled by the Brit
ish war Office salvage committee. and
machine for the purpose has been
invented and built which is thus de-
scribed:
One truck and trailer carries the
whole of the plant. which can work
on the most uneven ground. A stout
wire rope with a number of hooks is
worked by a winch. AS the barbed
wire is drawn up it passes through
two sets of rollers, and the salved
metal appears in blocks from one foot
to Is inches square, and weighing
from 70 to 80 pounds For smelling
1t sells for about s25 a ton. The
staff in charge of the scheme thinks
that there are 100000 tons that can
be removed, and If that is the aggre-
gate weight the cost of the 40 out
fits said to have been ordered should
be amply justified.

Merchants Approve
AUGUSTA Centennial

A score of business men represent
ing the Merchants Association met in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms Fri
cay afternoon to hear discussed the
advisa bility of having Centennial
celebration in Augusta. George T..
Clarke, the secretary of the local
Chamber Of Commerce, INTRODUCED
the speaker, William F. Hamilton OF
New York City. Mr.. Hamilton who
has specialized on the construction.
and ornamentation Of floats, exhibited
a large album of photographs Of
every conceivable kind OF vehicle
used in a parade. The varying types
revealed ingenuity, and beauty IN
their appearance. On one view OF
the War Exhibition of Chicago, was
shown a vast pyramid of 10000 Ger
man helmets which were transported
from all sections Of the country for
this purpose. These Autographs Of diff
ferent celebrations, taken from all
parts of the country, in which Mr..
Hamilton has been guiding and in
strumental figure toward making a
success, show at a glance what can
be accomplished in other cities with
equal facilities for carrying out such
projects.
Mr.. Hamilton told at the beginning
of his address why Augusta should
observe a centennial. stating there
were many things of historic note In
and near the Capital City.hnd If they
could be produced and shown in a
public exhibition would draw people
from miles around. He believes that
carnivals, and worth-wh celebra-
tons create civic growth: that it's
a sure way to promote industry and
discourage lethargy. He said that
Tampa, Florida, as the result OF an
annual event for the past five years.
has grown from city of 10000 to
that of 10000.
After presenting the reports from
other cities. and telling how cele-
bration with a Mardi Gras has been
successful, enthusiasm developed: Mr..
Hamilton was asked how much it
would cost to put through a centen-
NAL lasting four days? He replied
without hesitation, $4,000. I
This sum would cover every branch
of the celebration. A number of fea-
lures we're suggested Tor the occasion.
Among them would be an automobile
parade, every car owner decorating his
own machine. Another was a corona
ton ceremony. Mr.. Hamilton states
that the only hzzle at the Portland
centennial was the decorations over
the lights, believing that yellow
draping is best for such purposes as
it doesn't obscure the brilliancy and
creates better effect.
The business men are agreed that
the four-day celebration will be an as
set to the city in bringing in visitors
and reviving civic pride. The matter
now lies before the people of Augusta.
The water carnival alone would be an
to draw the crowds from
neighboring communities 1t was vot-
ed to have a meeting Tuesday evening
in the City hall where the matter will
be outlined in~full to the citizens Of
Augusta. Mr.. Hamilton will address
this as sembly and point out the oppor-
tunities the city affords for. such an
achievement The governor was in
terviewed Friday evening by Mr.. Clark
relative to the state making gift to
the city toward making the centennial
a success but no decision has yet been
made on the matter.

Guarding Against Fires

These are the days wnen the Hre
hazard is considerably increased over
what it was in the summer months
With the coming Of cool weather,
quick fires are started in the stoves
or furnace and often. a hue is dis
covered that needs repair. Accumu-
lations of infiammable rubbish in
which a bad blaze may be started
should be got rid Of Matches are
used in increased numbers in winter
and that means additional chances
of accidental fires. Kerosene is en-
tloyed in greater quantities, being
used for starting fires and for lamps,
and. therefore, this hazard Is in
creased. An even graver menace lies
in the improper handling OF gasoline.
1t is highly important that every pre-
caution be taken to store the gaso-
line supply in properly located and
constructed reservoirs. s.
This is the season also for the
farmer to look to his flre-f1ghtins
equipment. A pail of water is the
Oldest, simplest, and cheapest Of fire
extinguishers. There is no reason
why pals of water. to be used only
in case Of fire, should not be installed
in every farm building. If possible
they should be painted a special color,
preferably red, or labeled so as to be
conspicuous and less subject to I'M
authorized use.
The chemical extinguisher has come
into quite general use on automobiles
and elsewhere about the farm, and
has many advantages over tfe water
bucket. It can be employed, for ex-
ample, in subduing fires amonk oils,
where water is of no value. In the
absence Of a chemical extinguisher,
sand is serviceable in extinguishing
burning oil in case of a small flre on
the floor or in az shallow container.
Sawdust is also effective in putting
out oil fires. If it is scattered over
the entire surface of the burning
liquid so as to smother the flames.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has issued a Farmers
Bulletin so4, Fire Prevention and
Fire Fighting on the Farm" which
discusses the various types Of FIRE ex-
tinguishers and their merits. It may
be had free by addressing the de-
partment.
