It already has been mentioned that fifteen Germans were killed bya bomb dropped upon the smnmnltlon wagon of a cavalry column, II was thought at the time that this might have been the work of our owm airman who re ported that he had dropped a hand grenade on this eonvoy and had then got a bird’a eye view of the finest dis play of fireworks he had ever seen. Prom corroboratelve evidence It now appears that this was the case; that the grenade thrown by him probably was the cause of the destruction of a small convoy carrying field gun and 'Howitzer ammunition, which now has found a total wreck. Along the road lie fourteen motor lorries their Iron skeletons twisted ajid broken. Bvery thlng Inflammable has been burned as have the stripped trees—some with split trunks—on either side of the road. Of the drivers nothing remain except tattered boots and charred scraps of clothing. The grenade must have de tonated on the leading lorry, on one side of the road, and caused the cart ridges carried by It to explode. Other vehicles Immediately In the rear must then have been set on fire with a sim ilar result. YOUNG IIUIII IS 10 DIHI LADY PERY Son of Anthony F.

SHOW THE SOUTH THE WAY. This la a concrete suggestion for the relief of the cotton section. Please bring It to the attention of the officials of your city who ar« Interested. The U. S. consumes 40 per cent cotton crop, and we see, no earthly reason why this should not be In creased so much that It will he unnecessary to import much, If any. Jute from India. ‘‘lnvestigations should begin at home." and we were surprised at finding that our own firm could Increase Its consumption of cotton goods over 100 per cent. To Illus trate: We have discontinued tha use of Jute bags for feed sacks, for burlay covers and for baker's flour sacks, and have substituted cotton sack. Therefore, today this mill Is consuming every twenty-four hours the following: (a) *6OO 00 worth of cotton flour bags. (b) —5200.00 worth of cotton feed hags. (c> —*400.00 worth of cotton cov ers for small bags. (d>- 9?5.fi0 worth of hnker’s hags. Total. *1.225.00 worth of cotton sacks consumed each day. Two weeks ago w* were using each day ONLY the article marked "(a)." The result Is startling Every Jobber, retailer and baker In your town should demand that hla flour and feed come In cotton, anil NOT In burlaps. Ths sxpensc Is s little more for COTTON, hut a broadminded mill figures that It sets Its money hack and more be cause of the Increased prosperity enjoyed by the cotton section. Furthermore, sugar, fertiliser, grain, produce, etc., can Just ns well be packed In cotton as In bur lap The producer will use cotton If the Jobber demands It, so we s:tv IT 18 STRICTLY UP TO YOU. Remember that this would bring the l' s. consumption from 40 per cent of the total crop up to 60 per cent. Surely It Is worth striving For! Please have your newspapers take It up. Cotton mills are hardly operat ing twelve hqurs—they should operate 24 hours! Bear In mind that In two weeks time Ballard has made a change In packing methods means that instead of consuming *IIO.OOO 00 worth* of cotton goods In s >ear we are consuming *367.- *OO.OO worth. What Ballard has done, every other mill can he forc ed to do. Can we count on your co-opera tton In this great movement* America raises not one pound of Jute , and she DOEB raise COT TON!
