j'NS reserves
.>H MT BIG WAR.
leral Williams Thinks United
States Invulnerable Because
Os Huge War Stores
WASHINGTON, November 20.
The next major war “wi;l be won
or lost on the sufficiency of muni
tions reserves,” Major General
Clarence C. Wiliams, chief of Army
ordinance, predicted in his annual
report made public today at the
War Department.
“1 wish to emphasize the pre
ponderating importance of ade
* quate emergency reserves,” Gener
| al Williams said, adding that in
view of the isolated position,
fc highly developed specialized ki
dustries and immense resources
of the United States it seemed
® ‘ fairlv certain that no power of
■ combination of powers now in ex
ll istence,” could successfully invade
i the country after American man
K power and industry had been ful
| ly mobilized.
‘‘The possible rate of mobiliza-
I tion will always be determined by
I the state of our reserves,” the re-
I port said, ‘‘since man power can be
I' mobilized much more rapidly than
■ industry. From this point of view,
g.- tak'ng into account the present eco
f nomic development of the world, it
fey may be said that the nextj major
Hpwar will be won or lost on the
K sufficiency of munitions reserve.”
g The war left the country with a
K large stock of reserves onhand,
W General Williams continued, but
K with the pasage of time the value
g of these is decreasing ‘‘due to de
f velopment of improved and more
| powerful types.” There is also, he
I added, a deterioration in stocks of
I ammunition which “is very much I
S more pressing” than the question I
So* obsolesence of material.
‘ The report said that lack of
f funds during the last two years
| has prevented completion of the ar
j tillery development program work
ed out at the close of the, war and
that it has been possible “to cov-
• er reasonably well” in a contracted
I program only the gun equipment
for infantry, divisional batteries
and small caliber anti-aircraft
« weapons together with one type of
tank. Even the contracted prog
ram cannot proceed “to an affec
tive degree” during the coming
year under budget limitations, the
report added.
“The Department has now been
work : ng on the program for four I
years and can see no hopes of de
veloping for the service and with
out substantial increase in the
funds available,” said General Wil
liams. He added that work which
could be done n one year by his
department now required three
years time to complete.

That dangerous
cough — stop it!
before you have to take more costly
measures. Dr. Bell’s combines just
those medicines that up-to-date doc

remedy—pine-tar honey. It speedily
checks the cough, soothes the inflam

The taste is pleasant, too!

COTTON YIELD TRIPLES
LAST YEAR IN MONROE
FORSYTH, November 20.—The
yield of cotton in Monroe county
although damaged to some extent
by the ravages of the boll weevil
and retarded somewhat by the
drought, will be three times that
for last year, he i picking sea
son is not over and 1000 bales
have already been ginned in the
county. Reports from Culloden,
Juliette and other sections of the
county show that the crop is gen
erally better over all parts of the
county and that in the majority of
eases the cotton was poisoned. The
farmers are expecting a good crop I
next year and have already began !
planning for the campaign against I
the weevil. By early planting, |
plowing under of this years stalks ,
and general use of some of the wee-1
vil poison mixtures, they hope with |
favorable weather to eclipse the I
record made this year.
WHY DRUGGISTS
RECOMMEND SWAMP-ROOT
For many years druggists have
watched with much interest the re
markable record maintained by Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder medicine.
It is a physician’s prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening
medicine. It helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work na
ture intended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test
of years. It is sold by all druggists
on its merit and it should help you
No other kidney medicine has so
many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and
start treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten
cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
When writing be sure and mention
