WAR SECRET MADE PUBLIC
How the Alfred Cable Was Sueesss-
fully Laid Between Scotland
and Russia.

Details Of ruse adopted by cable
layers with the object of tricking the
enemy intelligence department during
the war were given in paper read re-
Gently at meeting Of the London
Telegraph and Telephone society at
River Plate house by A. Avery, who
described how the "All Red cable
route came into being, the London
Daily Telegraph states.
A cable was laid, he said, between
Peterhead, on the Aberdeenshire coast,
and Alexandrovsk, a small town on
the shore of the inlet of the White
sea, on the Kola peninsula. The ut
most secrecy had to be observed and
the cable ship Colonia, to throw dust
in the eyes Of the enemy, sailed out
for the cruise in quite different d.
rection.
In spite, however, Of all the precau-
tons taken the fact that the cable
had been laid was mentioned in the
Cologne Gazette on the morning after
it's completion. This cable gave d.
rect communication between the Cen
trail Telegraph office, London, and
Petrograd, and it formed most valu-
able link for the allies.
Many kilograms from countries south
Of Russia, such as Greece, etc, pass
over the cable in making their circuit
GUS journey from the Levant to north
Russia. The staff in Russia was sup
piled from the Central Telegraph Of
fee, London, and the Eastern Cable
company cooperated. Russians were
brought to Alexandrovsk to be taught
cable working and the English teleg-
raphists bear tribute to the rapidity
with which they learned.

the CRIBS, ANA at rne same time De
open so that the air can get in, but
the rain cannot.
The high corn crib is one Of the
uses to prevent waste. While such
building as this will be seen on many
|, farms in the corn belt, there still are
many farmers who cling to the old,
wasteful method of putting their crops
into old-fashioned cribs, built of fence
rails, while some take no other care
Of the corn than to pile it and cover
it with canvas. The waste of corn
by these methods would soon pay for
a modern, weather-tight crib

that the work Of caring for house
of this size may be done with the
least amount of effort. j
The materials necessary for the con-
struction of this house always are
carried in stock by local lumber deal
ers, as the size of the house Is such
that lumber Of standard dimensions
may be used without waste. The
siding that adds to the exterior ap-
pearance Of the house is of standard
clapb0ards. IS
7 Building costs have been reduced
materially during the last few
months; also where there was short
age Of lumber year ago, all dealers
now have a full stock. The cost Of
this house may be determined by con-
sulting the local material dealer and
the contractor.

One Bad Ear-Many Bushels Lost

5 What does one poor ear of seed corn
mean?
8 One ear of corn may contain from
500 to 600 kernels, according to Dr. H.
l.. Walster, agronomist at the Agri-
cultural college. Supposing all fail to
germinate, he states, one can see that
1t means the loss Of at least an ear for
each kernel. Figure 100 ears to the
.bushel and you see that for each poor
eur planted, there will be a loss Of five
of six bushels Of corn a figure that
may mean much in 4 large acreage.

MILTON STREETS
ARE BEING PAVED
Work on Willing and Grace Streets
Has Been Started.

MILTON, Feb. 17.-Milton is under
going a great improvement on its
public streets. Preparations for paving
most of the streets have been begun.
and c. H. Overman, the Bagdad sur
veyor, has begun actual work on the
project. The first streets to be paved
are Willing and Grace, situated in the
business districts of the city. and
brick has been deposited along them
for that purpose.
In cooperation with the paving of
the streets, o. E. SudmaI, manager of
the Gulf Telephone and Telegraph
company, will supervise the laying of
d cable under the streets in which the
telephone wires will be placed. In
this way the dense lines of wires over
the streets viii be eliminated.
The road has been paved on the
other side of the Blackwater river six
miles in the direction of Okaloosa
county. In conjunction with this prof.
ect work on the bridge over the
BIackwater river has also been pro-
crossing steadily, and this concrete
bridge is expected to be completed
within a reasonable length of time.
When this is completed, there will
be an unbroken highway across the
whole of Santa Rosa county from Ok
aloosa county to the bridge over the
Escambia river.
