WOUNDED GIVE HINT
OF FIGHT RICORS

Paris, Sept. 14.-Forty German pris-
oners, all wounded by bayonet thrusts,
have arrived here and give a hint of
how the Germans suffered In their re-
treat across the Rivers Ourcq and
Marine. The German force sent to
that region to face the Paris army
protecting the flank of the allies was
important and had been strongly en-
trenched.
When General Joffre, the French
commanderin-chief, ordered an at
tack a fierce engagement of artillery
opened and lasted two days without
interruption. Aviator Captain Georges
Bellenger finally gave the exact To-
cation of the German batteries and
soon thereafter they were annihilated
by he French three-inch guns.
Then came the rout, according to
participants. The Germans, pursued
at the point of the bayonet, crossed
the Ourcq In disorder, leaving cases
of ammunition, coats. k~napsacks and
cartridges. The losses of the Ger
nan were terrible.

FARMING AND BUSINESS.

The new federal banking law, that
is now being put into operation, has
many valuable features that are Of
great value to agriculture; for in
stance notes, drafts and bills,
drawn for agricultural purposes or
based on live stock. may run for six
MOI tbs instead of ninety days when
presented to federal reserve bank
for discount, and he can borrow
money on his lands from national
banks, the loans not to exceed fifty
per cent. of the value of the security
and to run for not more than five
years. These two features and the
passage of the rural credits system,
will have greater tendency TO ma
terialize the slogan back to the
farm than all the talk Of century,
for it means, signifies, implies on its
face that farming is recognized as a
business, and as much of buiness
as merchandising or manufacturing.
The recognition by the government
that farming is a business and ad-
as truth that farming, agri-
culture is the basis Of business, it
would be well if "all business" would
see that the most essential of all
business, the basis Of business, agri-
culture farming, have the best cred

The unhappiness Of the world Is
caused by its wickedness. No doubt
about that No doubt that every vio-
lation. OF law Is followed by
penalty. When a person steals, or
gets drunk, or hates his neighbor, or
takes an undue advantage, or neglects
his home, or does anything that he
ought not to do, punishment follows
just as certain and as necessarily as
when one puts his hand into fame.
And these aggregated penalties In
human experience Ia what constitutes
the unhapplness OF the world, says
the Ohio State Journal And so all
the effort of society and government
should be to get rid Of their sins. 1t
is only the political economy that Ia
worth a moments thought. II we
act upon the suggestion of the Bible,
that righteousness exalteth a ma
tion." It will do more good than all
the civil service reform, all the big
canals and all the courts In the land,
toward spreading happiness and con-
tentment over the country No one
of any sense doubts It and yet we go
on putting salve on pimples and con
tinue the unworthy life that makes
the pimples.
