BURGLARY CHARGED
 AGAINST THREE MEN

Meridian, April 12.-(special.)- Charges of burglary and grand lar ceny have been docketed at police headquarters against three well known young Meridian men, B. G. Green, 32; Herbert Kelly, 22, and Melvin Baker, 16, in connection with alleged entrance into the office of the Meridian Candy company and the theft of something over $200 and a pistol. With the arrest of the men and the boy, about $200 of the money is alleged to have been recovered by the police.
 Arraigned in Justice Raymond Clay's court, Greene entered a plea of not guilty and Kelly a plea of guilty. Both were held under bond for grand jury investigation. The charge against young Baker is being held up pending an investigation by County Attorney Odom, owing to the youthfulness of the accused, whom it Is thought may not be implicated to the same extent as tho others.

 The production is founded on an idea that closely resembles the Al Woods bedroom farce situations. The action starts with a disagreement in theA home of a young couple that endb in a divorce. However they both attend the same house party some time later and some most startling complications are set up by the attempt of the broken-heart- ed husband to patch things up. The situations are not only amusing. but are filled with a tension that holds the interest of the spectator until the last flash

Novel Shooting Feat.

An interesting experiment in freak
rifle shooting was described recently
by an English officer. II have fired an
ordinary wax candle through four
deal boards placed foot apart" he
said. "I.used six inches Of wax candle
and thirty.three grains Of powder with
the usual wads. The shot was removed
by cutting Off the top half-inch Of the
case, and q candle Weighing one and
q quarter ounces was inserted. I fired
at range Of about five yards. Each
plank was perforated. There were
plenty Of pieces of dry wax on all tho
boards, but tho first. When fired
against planks placed Immediately back
to back, the candle went through the
first and was brought up by the solid
weight OF wood of the other three"
Major IIardcastIe added that certain
gamekecper won many bets by shoot.
ing candles through spade.

Quota Of SOAP,


If oil the soap that Is manufactured
annually In the United States could be
flOated-and much Of it could bet
would represent tonnage not greatly
less than that Of the United States
navy, battleshlps, cruisers, destroyers,
submarines, transports and all. The
bureau Of the census has just issued
figures for 1910, according to hich g.
32,501 900 pounds Of soap was manu-.
featured in the United States that
year. That Is 1,216.205 tons. These
figures nre for all forms Of soap.
Figured Oh the basis of the present
estimated population Of the country
there Is produced each year twenty.
two pounds Of soap for every person
in the country, although there is per-
haps no commodity which varies moro
in point Of individual consumption
than this one. More soap Is being pro-
duced In proportion to the population
than in the output Of twenty years
ago-about five pounds more for every
Individual in the country.-New York

Fuel Situation Becoming Normal.

Washington, Nov. /. - The fuel
situation, so far as assuring an ade-
quate supply, has become "fairly
satisfactory throughout the country
with the possible exception Of the
Northwest, as a result Of increased
production and decreased prices dur
ing recent weeks, according to an
nouncement by Federal Fuel Distrib-
utter Spens.
Although anthracite production
cannot possibly give an equal amount
OF coal for consumption this winter
to the supply normally consumed,
the distributor said, the production
of bituminous and other substitutes
for anthracite Is sufficient to pre-
vent any serious deprivation. IN
dustrial users Of coal can accumu-
late reserve stocks, Mr.. Spens de-,
clared, in case they desire to do so
without endangering domestic con-
sumers or incurrlng a hazard Of 81
shortage.

(By w. Leonard Smith, Westmin-

The incident that l am going to
relate happened four or five years
ago, hut nevertheless the memory is
still fresh in my mind-and always
will be.
Say, tomorrow is Christmas
lets have big gun, Leon," said my
brother, Luke.
But how are you going to work
it?" l asked.
That's easy" Luke answered.
you know that we have some blast
ing powder here"
"Hes, bu. what's blasting powder
got to do with a big gun?" asked.
i. We'll, you see l am going to load
up that old musket with an extra
heavy load Of it," he answered. "You
can load up your .22 rifle and we'll
surely have big gun" he suggested.
We got up early the next morning,
but all this time | was 4 bit skepti-
cal, yet | said nothing, as | wanted
to see the results.
Luke loaded up the old musket all
right, but he didn't put much powder
in it. SO the result was that it just
spit fire, and that was all.
This gave him courage, and he put
a handful Of powder in the old mus
ket and packed wad OF paper down,
Oh it. This time it made a racket
like a blast.
This pleased me, and after seeing
that it didn't hurt him | decided !
would try it. l took the bullet ont
OF a cartridge and filled the gun half
full of powder and packed wad
down on it. Something told me that
the gun was going to burst. but
was determined that I would shoot
it.
put the gun TO my shoulder, shut
my eyes and pulled the trigger. Let
me tell you-you should have heard
the sound! 1t almost Jared the
ground.
Gentle reader heard a piece Of
that gun stock go singing a sad and
lonely song as 1t went whirling down
across the cotton patch.
The whole load came out in my
left hand, but luckily it didn't hurt
mo; 1t only made my left hand stiff
for about twelve months.
Now, don't fool with guns any
more, and If you will take my adj
vice you'll never load a gun with
blasting powder.
Once Is enough!
