COTTON WAREHOUSE BURNS,
About 650 Bales arc Destroyed by Fire
At Barn well?Insurance Is $21,000.
Barnwell, Nov. 3.?Fire was discov?
ered in the emergency warehouse of
the Farmers' Union Warehouse com?
pany about 8 o'clock and ah..est be?
fore the alarm could be given had
spread like a Hash of gunpowder over
: the contents and In a few moments It
was a roaring mass of flames. About
.650 bales of cotton were stored in the
, emergency warehouse which is lo?
cated on the Aldrich property on East
jMaln street and some 60 or II more
,were scattered about the grounds.
A number of burning bales were
' pulled from the warehouse by means
iof a hook and a piece of rope and the
' fire extinguished. This method is still
I being followed, and it b hoped 10 sal?
vage several score Ixles in this man
rer.
The origin of the lire is unknown
but is thought to have started from
spontaneous cumbustion. The man
\ ager has been very careful not to
store any cotton In the warehouse un?
til it had la'n on the ground a day
or two.
The structure was merely a shed
covered with tin so the loss of the
building will not amount to much.
Insurance to the amount of $21,000
was carried on the cotton.
WAR AND CANADA.
Cost to The Dominion of the Conflict
In Europe.
tFrom the Wall Street Journal.)
In the enthusiasts, with which Cana?
da has come to the aid of the mother
country in this time of war stress,
probably few of her putriotlc citizens
have stopped to count the cost to their
land. With that lavishness common
to a new country of boundless, if un?
tested, resources, where frugality is a
crime. Cmada is paying the men vol?
unteering for the military service the
sum of $1 a day. She has already
proposed to raise, furnish and equip
55,000 men. The pay alone of these
men means I55.0CO a day, not allow?
ing for the higher pay for the olhcers.
For a month of 30 days that runs up
to $1,650,000. A year's service?and
there are many opinions that several
years of war ure ahead of the allies?
would count the cost of that small
army up to $20,000,000.
Thf probability is that a protracted
war will see efforts to place a quar?
ter of a million Canadian troops on
the tiring line. In that event the pay?
roll of his army will be staggering.
Then Canada's troops are armed with
the Boss rille, a Canadian weapon.
Placing upon that country the re?
sponsibility of supplying every car?
tridge tired by her men. Tilgt will
mean a great expense in manufacture
and transportation.
In addition the Dominion has al
read\ furnished $1,661, ff I worth Of

$50,000 for the relief of the Belgian
sufferers. Tin* provinces, too. are

The question of Rulwlstenrc is a
vital one i" tin army, ami many bat?
tles have been lost f:om the failure
of food supplies, The commissary de
partment of armies In all civilise I
countries is in the hands of men who
arc In reality <ii? tctic specialists on a
large scale. The present war is the
supreme test for the tpt arter master's
department.
' nations," as the daily food supply
of the soldier Is known, vary in each
country according to racial tastes or
climatic conditions, Thus the meat
ration of Franco is quite different
from that of Germany. For the pur-'
pose of comparison WS have taken the
daily held ration of the German army,
which is as follows:
Seven hundred and fifty grama of
fresh bread, or r>(Hi grams of bis?
cuit.
Three hundred and reventy-live
grains of raw meat (fresh or salted),
Of 200 grams of smoked beef, pork,
I mutton, bacon or meat sausage.
One hundred and twenty-live
grams of rice (groats), or LT>0 grams
of pulse or Hour, or 1,600 grams of
potatoes.
Twenty-live grams of salt.
Twenty-live grams of coffee (roast?
ed), or 30 grams of coffee (green),
or 3 grams of tos and 17 grams of
sugar.
Ws have shown this supply for a
week compared with the huge mass
of Cologne Cathedral. The result is
very surprising, for we have a loaf of
bread weighing 80,130,000 pounds ami
393 feet high, which hulks well along?
side the lofty edifice. Meat is repre?
sented hy a side of bacon, but in
practice this might be varied by
sausage1, smoked beef, fresh, salt
meat or mutton. The bacon is ISO
feet long and would weigh 16,030,000
pounds. Potatoes are the heaviest
item, weighing 120,3:10,000 pounds.
The hag would he two feet less in
length, while the sugar bag would
measure 38 feet high and would
weigh 1,365,000 pounds. Such amounts
of food seem almost incredible.
Of course, the figures, given are for
the standard ration, which is probably
a very different thing from that ac?
tually being consumed along the
great battle formation, for there is
great flexibility as to the food to be
used. It is possible that pemmican
(a condensed meat product) has en?
tered into the ration very largely,
but wo will not get much accurate
information until the close of the war.
The Kaiser has always expressed a
lively interest in the soldiers' food,
and he has not Infrequently ridden up
|to the held bakeries and sampled the
i product of their ovens.
Some idea of the enormous expense
I of the war will bo gained when it is
stated that the daily cost of provis?
ions for the combined armies would
be $12,500,000, Without the expense
of transportation, which would bo
14,100,000 more each day. Those fig?
ures are based on a comparison of
prices of some years ago, so that 15
per cent, could ho added to the cost
of the food, making the cost $18,750,
?00, or $81,950,000 "delivered" at the
place of consumption. This is truly
an enormous daily bill of the war
butcher, war baker and war grocer.

I Although planting of peanuts hau
been delayed to some extent by the
heavy rains, tin* reports that are re?
ceived from many sections of tin*;
state, a'he re peanuts are bvaiig grown,
are highly encouraging, and it is ex?
pected that the total yield this year
, will he greater than that of last year
by half.
The soil throughout the State is in
! such excellent condition that there
will he a meat amount of late plant?
ing, which will make splendid yields;
and in sections of the Stale where cot-j
ton and other crops have been serious?
ly damaged by the heavy rains and
i
where replanting of those crops is'
likely to prove a losing venture, it has
been suggested that peanuts be plant?
ed, as they will thrive in weather con?
ditions that would prove detrimental
to other crops.
To encourage the late planting of
peanuts the price of seed peanuts on
! the local market has been reduced
j from $2.50 for a bushel of 80 pounds
! to $1.80. There are plenty of good
seed peanuts, available on the local
market, and peanuts can be planted
I any time, with the assurance of a
good yield.
For the last 10 years the average
has been 35 to 40 bushels an acre
? and in some sections there has been
la yield of 100 bushels an acre. Not
Only is peanuts one of the safest crops
that can he planted in the State, but
it carries a great advantage of being
j one of the surest feed crops, as over
I a ton of peanut hay can be realised
Ifrom an acre of peanuts, and this hay
j has the same value as alfalfa for
j feed, according to enthusiasts of the
j crop.
The food value of Oklahoma-grown
; peanuts is much greater than those
; grown in other parts of the country
owing to the soil being adapted for
the culture of peanuts, and the excel?
lent climatic conditions.
There can be found in Oklahoma
City a market for every bushel of pea?
nuts raised in the State, and last sum?
mer manufacturers of peanut pro
; ducts were compelled to go outside of
J the State to obtain a supply of pea?
nuts sufficient to keep factories in op?
eration.
The price paid last year for good
quality peanuts averaged $1 a bush?
el, and it is reasonably safe to ex?
pect a price from U0 cents to $1.10
a bushel this ^fall, with a market for
the. entire yield in Oklahoma City.
Long Wny to Tipperary.
The French, the Belgians, the sheiks
from India, the English, the Cana?
dians, the Scots, all of them except
the Germans on the great battlefield
along the French frontier have adopt?
ed the one battle song:
i
"It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go;
It's a long way to Tipperary,
To the sweetest girl I know!
Good-bye, Piccadilly,
Farewell, Leicester Square,
It's a long way to Tipperary,
Jlut my heart's right there!'*
An Irish company employed it. It
had the right swing. The English*
speaking soldiers took to it. The
French soon hummed "Le chemiu a
Teeperaire" and the others quickly
made like attempts. Soon it became
the sole battle song.
"It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is
a London music hall song. The au?
thor-composer of the brie Is Jack
.Judge, and there is probably no man
In the world more surprised than he
?unless it is his publisher, Bert Fold
man?at the popularity it has so sud?
denly achieved.
"It's a good song of its kind?a good
marching tune," Feldman says, "quite
simple, and it doesn't require much
breath to sing it, for there are no par?
ticularly high or low notes in it. But
there are other songs, with all these
qualities; the fact is, wo can never say
with any certainty whether a song
will catch on or not.

The writer of these notes, u highly

which have allowed him to witness and
sometimes take part in the vast drama,
being played before the world In th<

throughout the fertile valleys extend?

Into Flanders.
The officer tells of arriving In the

London, Xov !.? London hau Imk*ii
greatly excited by the re|m>rt thai a
German-owned music printing plant
in Willesden, a prominent manufac?
turing suburb of London, has an im?
mense building, whose heavy concrete
foundations, Hours and roof are well
adapted to the use of siege .^-ins.
Twent) of the German employees of
ihe tirm have been taken into ius*
tody and military experts are studying
the building carefully. Meantime the
excited public is fully convinced that
the plant was designed to act as a
German base for attai k upon Lon?
don proper. The building unques?
tionably occupies a strategic position.
It stands high, with a < lear range to
Crystal Palace. WUiesden Junction,
where two main lines entering Lon?
don centre, is Lut a short distance
from the pi: lit.
However, the English archletcts
Who designed the building and super?
vised it:.1 construction eight years ago
say it is similar to many other print?
ing plants and has no heavier founda?
tions and floors than are required
where heavj machinery are to he in?
stalled.
The building is about two hundred
feet square on the outside and is con?
structed about a court sixty feet
square. It is but one story and the
foundations are of concrete about six
feet thick. Tlie English manager of
the concern says this unusually thick
foundation was laid, as the firm ex?
pected to fold additional stories to the
plant when business expanded. A
concrete roof covers most of the build
in.-".
Discovery by the allies that Ger?
many has prepared concrete bases for
its howitzers surreptitiously in many
; places in Belgium ami Prance has
made all Englishmen suspicious of
possible German i"reparations in Eng?
land.
I
In discussing the Willesdon factory
the Sunday Times says: "In a situa?
tion which commands an almost unin?
terrupted view of that meat tract of
London which liee between Willeeden
and tho Crystal Palace is discovered a
building whose roof, floor and founda?
tions are constructed of exceptionally
Dock concrete, and might apparently
be employed as the emplacement of a
heavy gun, in fact, one of those 17
inch howitzers for which such careful
[arrangements were found to have
been made around Antwerp and Na
Imur. We are very tar from suggest?
ing that the premises at Willesden
were deliberately arranged. Consider?
ing the German workmen, ii is at least
possible that in the event of an at?
tack upon London the attention of tho
Germans' commanders would have
been called to that convenient con
i c rete door, even it they had not know n
I of it before their arrival.
' It is highly probable that there do
j exist such places around London and
in tho neighborhood of our great for?
tress positions which have been eare
I fully prepared for siege guns, and tho
chief vaiue, to our mind, of the
I
Willesden discovery is that it may bo
? expected to stimulate authorities to
! search for them.
'The suspicion that many wire less
equipments are operating in London
was justified by the discovery of such
a plant in the home of a German pro
Ifessor. As wireless apparatus can bo
operated lor so short a distance as
i from London to the European coast
j without an outside tower tho discov?
ery of illicit wireless stations is very
{difficult. The Times advocates that
the war office issue a statement stipu?
lating that persons found sheltering
