Berlin, via The Hague.-An En-
glish Bristol biplane, with two mill
tary aviatoTs of high rank as passen-
gers, is reported to have been shot
down near Peronne and the officers
captured.
Paris.-Desperate fighting in heavy
rain continues in the northwest ac-
cording to the reports reaching mill
tary headquarters today. The Ger
mans are reported attempting to
break though the allied line sat a
point vaguely referred to as some
fifteen miles from the seacoast, but
tits stated that at no point have they
succeeded in gaining territory.
Reports that the French have re-
pulsed an attack in force in the neigh
borhood of Lille are widely circulated.
Ostend, it is admitted, is now held by
the Germans in force Another port
reported occupied by the Germans
with heavy force is the northerly sea-
port of Beebrugge. However, reports
reaching here say the Germans have
found it impossible to push their adj
vance south along the coast because
of the presence in their path of a
combined Belgian-British-F French ar
my.
The general situation is reported
as constantly improving. The French
right wing, which has been driving
back the army of the German crown
prince, is combining with the right
of the French center and both have
succeeded in advancing toward YER
dun.

The Call of The Farm.

There never was a time in the
history of our country when
agriculture was as inviting as
&c is today, when brains and
lrawn would bring as sntis-
factory results from the farm.
With the trades and profess
i"ns in cities greatly overcrowd-
ed, the farm becomes moro and
more the bright and beckoning
star Of hope to millions Of young
men.
Surplus energy of the cities
would do well To turn its at
tcntion to the farm, and the
wise youth of the country will
stay right where he is-where
opportunity is always before
him.
Keep you eye upon the green
fields of the country, for there
is no better place.

Young People and School.

Parents tell us what you think
of this.
Medical statistics are author
ity for the statement that u
large per cent of children at
tending school are afflicted with
curvature of the spine or other
DO ly imperfection which
could be easily corrected by a
simple method of physical exer-
else.
And this brings to our mind
n suggestion for local applica-
ton.
Why not let our school board
or teachers, prescribe such a
course for the pupils IN our pub
lie school? Fifteen minutes a
day of time could be easily
found, and a careful system of
physical exercise in which all
pupils be required to partici-
pate would create Il healthy
circulation of the blood, devel-
op the physique, correct mild
forms of spinal curvature, and
serve as general physical ton
ic. And the mind would be.
come clearer and brighter and
in better form TO sustain the
strain of the class room.
Training of the mind is es.
sential, but proper regard for
the demands of the body is also
necessary. That sluggish feel
ing which retards the advance
ment of 80 many pupils would
gradually disappear under prop
er physical exercise, leaving
both mind and body in a healthy
state.
With all Difference to our
school board and teachers, we
make this as n suggestion
1t is worth a trial.

Editors Are Human.

We often wonder if it has
ever occurred to some people
that editors are human, and not
super beings gifted with second
sight,
An editor Id constantly on
the hunt for news of interest to
the people who read and pay
for his paper, and he never IN
tentionally omits an article of
any Importance. The success
of his paper depends upon his
inpartiality in this respect.
And yet often some person
conceives the erroneous idea
that tho editor has purposely
left out some item concerning
them or their families.
Has it ever occurred to them
that the editor may not have
heard of that particular item,
although he searched diligently
in his efforts to secure all of
the news:
There is a very effective rem
edy for those isolated but mad
vertant omissions. The next
time you have Il piece of news
concerning yourself, or your
{ amily, or your neighbors. or
OF your community, give it to
the editor youraelf, or phone or
write it in to him, and do not
depend upon Others 20 do it.
They may be- more interested in
affairs on their own side of the
fence.
The editor will thank you for
your shoughtfulness in enabling
him 10 secure news that will

Special 20 The Leader Enterprise.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 21.-"The
worst of the present depression
has passed, :" says Robert F.
Maddox, chairman of the Georgia
committee which will have charge
of the states share of the Wade
cotton pool Of $135, 100000. Mr..
Maddox, who is vice president of
the American National Bank has
just returned from a trip to
Washington, where he joined a
conference on details of the loan
plan.
Mr.. Maddox said $4,000, 900
of the fund had been received
but it would be the latter part of
next week before the full amount
would be ready for disposal.
1--WE were disappointed to learn
that the committee would lend
only five cents on cotton instead
of six cents, the original idea,"
said Mr.. Maddox. Neither did
we understand that the borrower
would be expected to put up
three per cent of the loan as a
guarantee fund and to cover ex-
penses. However, it must be
remembered that this one million
d o liars which is subscribed
through the north and west is to
be loaned in the south and if cot
ton should decline below six cents
per pound the lending banks
would have no authority to call
for additional margin; and in
banking circles twenty per cent
margin is not considered I'M
reasonable"
Mr.. Maddox said the worst
feeling in Yew York was over
and financiers say indications
that things would be much better
soon.

Limbaugh is exceedingly worried
over the failure of thousands of
BARRIERS to take the state exami-
nation demanded by the last leg
islature, pay their fees, and prove
themselves sanitary, harmless
and not too full of conversation.
Georgia citizens will have an
unusually large crop of whisk-
ers," said Mr.. Limbaugh. BE
cause she will be a barberless
race. Out of 1850 BARRIERS only
300 have applied for licenses, and
no business can be done without
a license except in jails, state
prisons and towns of less than
5000 population, where whiskers
run rampant anyway.
The barber who gets in before
the first of the year can cop out
a license for two dollars, but af-
ter that the bargain sale is off
and five bucks is the price.
