How Cannon Are Spiked In former times when the oldfashioned type of cannon was used •tie guns were disabled by driving an Iron spike into the opening at the breech through which fire was communicated to the powder. This was called ‘'spiking*' the cannon. It was done when It was necessary to leave the guns behind, to prevent (heir immediate use by the enemy. Such disablement was usually only temporary. The phrase, however, is retained in modern military uwge. Spiking a cannon nowadays means breaking or carrying away part of the breech mechanism, making It Impossible to use the gun without considerable repair.—Exhangv. Reggars’ Trade Union In China one of the most formidable trade unions is that of the beggars. Begging In that country fa a recognised profession, and there is a properly organised guild Os beggars In roost districts. •Each guild has its own president and officers, and the members pay an annual subscription equaling about >4.00 In our money. The officials of the guilds wield such power that they enjoy the protection of the magistracy. So far there has been no strike on the part of the members of this union, which is undoubtedly the quaintest organisation of its kind In the world. ——■ .

FORD USED CARS ARE SOLD UNDER GUARANTEE Much interest has centered during the past week in the announcement of the Ford used car plan. This interest has been evidenced by both the public and the automotive indiritry generally, for it is the f rst move to be made by any large automobile concern toward solution of the so-called used car problem. Under the plan, which is supervised by the company, all authorized Ford dealers place a guarantee upon used Ford cars sold by them, thus insuring to the purchaser satisfactory mechanical operation of the cars under ordinary driving conditions. Reports received during the week from branches throughout the country, it was said at the offices of the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, indicate two things—greater buying confidence on the part of the public and a general feeling among Ford dealers that the plan is certain to promote 'ustomer satisfaction. These reports, it was said, are not based upon expressions from Ford dealers alone. They also include public reaction toward the plan as reflected through the vast dealer organization which, because of its extensiveness, is ar excellent barometer of automobile marketing conditions. Another feature of the reports is the ready acceptance of the plan by the dealers themselves and their enthusiasm over. it. They feel that the arrangement together with their own fitness of judging car values and facilities for reconditioning cars when that is necessary, places them in a position to afford much better service to people in the market for used Ford cars. On the basis of the reports so far received the plan promises an effective solution for used car handling by Ford dealers and one in which the public will be benefitted. 50-lt o OLD PAPERS—Large bundle for 5c at the Journal office.

REFORRSTRATION PROGRAM BY M. W. OF A. Everybody favors a, reforestration movement to offset, so far possible, the deplorable effect of the destruction of this country’s trees. The federal government and many of the states are >repared to furnish the trees, nd willing hands are ready to do he planting. The trouble is to md space for them. Too manv 'wners still feel, na they did vhen the natural forests were ut down, that the land is more -aluaWe for other purposes and s hat they can not afford to wait p ?r the slower returns that trees .rill bring. * Now comes the Modern Woodppn of America urging a plan, which, if not a complete solution of the problem, at least provides* for a start in the right direction. It is pronosed to do the plant- : ng along the hard-surfaced roads that are being so generally constructed, relieving the monotony of barrenness and supplying wood and its products f~r future use? as well as shade. Modern Woodmen Camps are taking up tfiis movement in many places and are being urged to do so every- ' where. The Society has adopted

a special tree-planting ritual and might very appropriately, also include with the axe, beetle and •wedge as its* emblems, the shovel, watering pot and pruning hook. Notice Baby Chicks Per 100 S. C.
