 London, October 31.-There is much official perpleXity resulting from overt acts of Turkey in bombarding Odessy and the sinking of the Russian gunboat Donets and the failure of the Porte to declare war.
 1 The Turkish ambassador re- mains at Petrograd and is re- ported to be endeavoring to in fluence the government to dis avow responsibility for the ac- tions o f warships. Rome ru- mors say that a naval battle be- tween Turkish and Russian fleets has taken place. No con- firmation has been received of this.

razor-backs--if he will mate them to a good pure bred boar. The offspring from such breed- ing will in a large degree possess the type and quality of the boar, the chief requirements of the SOW being size, maturity, prolif- icacy and good mothering quail ties. The more improved blood the SOW possesses the better the offspring will be so long as the purebred boar is used. It is only when grade boar and a grade SOW are mated that the old na tive type in any large degree as- serts itself and we get cull lot.
 While t would be impossible in any reasonable time to stock the farms of the state with sows of good breeding, it would ba 9 comparatively easy matter to bring enough good boars into every county in the next few months so that if they were us- ed exclusively for the next two or three years the old native type of hogs would almost dis appear. Although this might work a grievance on those who cherish fondness for the type the fact remains that it would add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the annual state in- come from the pork growing in- dustry and would keep as much more from going out of the state for packing house products.
 When the truth of the above statements dawns fully upon the farmers of Arkansas it won't be long until the transformation is complete. The wise ones will ac- cept it at once, from those by whom it has already been proven and look to this means to help solve their now embarrassing problems.

GERMANS DEFEATED
 ON NORTH LINE
Making Desperate Resistance To Cover the Retreat of The
 German Troops.
United Press Dispatch.


 Paris, Oct. 31.-The Germans were defeated decisively on the north line from Ostend and Ar ras through Lille and their pres ent desperate resistance is but blind to cover the retreat of the army, according to claims at military headquarters.
 It is stated that their resist ance has weakened between Nieuport and Dixmude and that most of the big guns have been removed to the rear.
 The German losses are the greatest of the war. It is stat ed that the Germans, attempt ing a renewal of the offensive, on the Mouse heights for the purpose of diverting the Allies from Borth, but that the move is employing the reserves and lacks the violence of pre- vious encounters.
 Positive assurances from the front say that the Germans have failed to renew the offensive and that at all points north the AL lies are in trenches occupied by Germans a week ago.

Using the Razor Back As A Sub-

 (By w. R. Wheelock, Arkansas
 Experiment Station.)
 Now that circumstances have convinced everyone of the need of growing more livestock on Arkansas farms the next ques- tion is where to get the breeding stock with which to begin to produce the type of stock that the market demands. In the case of pork production which affords the opportunity for most immediate returns, the problem will be largely solved if the far mer will make intelligent use of what he already has. While a purebred herd would in many instances be desirable yet any farmer can make good money with common stock sows-even
