We understand that Duuwoody,
the wheat king of this part OF
the country, has nearly one hun'
dred car loads of wheat standing
on the sidings at Joplin. We are
told he is paying a dollar a day
for the use of each car. This is
cheaper than building an eleva-
tor. And a lot of this wheat was
bought for 63 cents per bushel.
Dunwoody is surely getting his.
The millers' association, it seems,
has paFceled out this part of the
country to buuwoody. At least
be has 10 competition.

Germans Concentrate Their
Forces in Vicinity of Roye
and Battle Wages to the
North.
LEFT WING ENGAGED
French Destroy the Bridge
Across Meuse Built by Ger
mans Fighting Right Wing
of Allied Army.
TBY LEASED WlRE.l

PARIS, Oct "A terrific battle is
in progress between the Allies and the
Germans in the vicinity of Roye, west
of the Disc, where the Germans have
concentrated heavy forces, according
to an official announcement issued
here at o'clock this afternoon. 1t is
stated that the battle seems to be ex-
tending more and more toward the
north
German troops operating against the
French right wing constructed a
bridge over the Meuse to allow the
passage of German troops, but it has
been destroyed.
The complete statement was as fol-
lows:
"1-On our left wing the battle con-
tinues with great violence, notably in
the region of Roye, where the Ger
mans appear to have concentrated
large forces. The action is extending
more and more toward the north. The
battle front has actually been extended
even into the region south of Arras.
"2-On the right Germans tried to
build near ST. Mihiel bridge which
had been destroyed by night. In the
Woevre region our offensive continues
and it advances step by step, notably
in the region between Apremont and
St. Mihiel.
"3-On all the rest of the front only
partial operations have been attempt
ed on either side."

girls of families receiving charity
often purchase perfumery and other
unnecessaries.
He suggests the merchants either
be appointed or that they act volun-

the system should be carried on with
absolute secrecy SO customers would
not ask favors in a charitable line.

THE LAZY DUcK-
(By V1rgi1aia vala.1


 Once upon a time there was duck so lazy that all he wanted to do was 50 sit around and have some one wait on him. He was fond of nice things t1 ear and wanted the best place to sleep.
 At frss all the other ducks waited on him and did everything he asked but very soon they grew tired of this and told him he would have to look cut for himself
 One tof the ducks said to the lazy duck If you were sick of course we would help you but you are as well as any of us and must do you share.
 Now this lazy duck began to think how he could fix 1t so they would still bring him his food and he could take things easy. The next time they start ed for the pond for a swim he went along and told them he had decided to take more exercise. For several days he kept this up until hes thought he never wanted to see the pond again,
 One day he went as usual with them and had been padding about and hunting for bugs when all at once he called: t1uack quack, quack z They all came padding up to see what was the matter. "Quack, have hurt my foot. I think a frog nipped it. Quack, quack, oh am in such pain
 Now this bad duck had not hurt his foot at al1- He was just fooling them. They helped him home and all the next day brought him nice things to eat and saved the best for him. This pleased him very much and he I thought: Now I have 1t fixed so won't have to get anything to eat my l self. They will wait on me as long as am lame and I will be lame g I long tine.''
 One day they started for the pond and promised they would bring hin back something very nice for his din ner. He stretched himself out for g 1 good nap, but thought: f-I am thirsty 1 I will go and get drink of water. do wish someone was here to get il for me but as there isn't I must get i myself
 l He was walking along as well al 1 ever not 1imping a bit when all al | once up waded a duck from the pond He saw the lazy duck could walk a
