NEW TARIFF HELPING GRAPHITE INDUSTRY IN STATE, IS REPORT
Fields in Ashland and Chiffon Counties Are BeCom-
 ing Active

Owing to the tariff enacted at the last session of Congress and the gradual disappearance of the stocks of Ceylon graphite which had ac- cumulated in this country prior to the tariff, the graphite field in Ash land and Chiffon counties is reported as becoming active again and to en- joy prospects of substantial and steady operations at good profit
 The Flaketown Graphite mill at Mountain Creek and the Ceylon National and Superior in the Ashland field are reported as regularly op- erating and making ready sale of the product. Crude graphite is now bringing six and seven cents a pound and some grades more than that.
 We expect to start operations again at an early uate," said w. L.. Shumate of the Dixie Consolidated Graphite company. ''The Alabama graphite field is now in position to operate regularly and make money. The stocks of Ceylon are very low and thetariff on foreign graphite will enable Alabama to produce at q profit. The industry is rapidly get ting back into form and soon should be a staple Alabama asset, because here in Ala bama are the largest and richest deposits of graphite in America

You remember the good old days when you could buy
fine meal for quarter The army doing better than that
II will feed each of the 10000 young who attend the
Citizens Military Training Camps this summer at cost Of
70 cents day for three meals.
The qlartermaser general says he could give them the
regular chuck at as cents day apiece But add
ona rs cents has been provided to furnish fancy eats such
the 10000 happen to be accustomed to in civilian life
Each man daily will get in addition to the regulation
pint of fresh milk bttcrmlk salad for dinner
and cereal and fresh fruit for breakfast These four items
alone would cost 70 cents the restaurant
To the person who eats in restaurants does the market
basket shopping for family, the low cost of feeding the
army is the eighth wonder of the world.
And yet it's marvel only by contrast.
In the first place. the army gets the advantage of

The restaurant will point out that of the most
vital of these items that the armys 40 cents day per

The solution of certain phases of the high cost of living
may be in army organization For instance if rs so

dubbed together to buy their supplies comparatively, they
could get wholesale prices, nearly
