LONDON, Oct. 10-The correspondent

following
THE immediate objective OF the Ger
men army Is now no longer Paris, but
the channel ports. To sum up the Ger
man plan-the first blow on Paris hav-
ing failed. the second blow must be
aimed at England.
THE new lineup OF the opposing forces
means that northern France Is destined
10 suffer a desolation similar to that
already visited on Belgium. All of
Frances rich cities in the north have
been marked for certain destruction.
The French general staff is confident
OF success but It Is recognized that there

obvious that nothing about patronage
can be printed.
Gruenther May withdraw.
Just what angle the interview will take

counted upon, that Secretary Bryan will

Senator Hitchcock will do for the pur-

In which event Senator Hitchcock may

Then the United States attorneyship will
be settled and likewise the marshalship
All this Is dependent upon the collector
ship, which Is the key to the present dis
agreement between Bryan and Hitchcock
In this connection It may truthfully be
said that Senator Hitchcock Is not en-
thusiastic about appointing anybody to a
public position. His makeup Is not along
the lines Of political pap or "provender. 8"

Farmers Should Take an inventory.

After the crops are in, corn husk-
ed and threshing done, is a good time
for the farmer to do little book
keeping. The figures relative to the
past years work are fresh in the
mind and should be recorded pre-
paratory to making an inventory at
the close of the year. The farmers
business is the most difficult one of
all in which to keep full and accu-
rate account, but this is no excuse
for not doing what can be done to
show the financial progress of his
business.
Even if no books have been kept
with the different crops the past year
fairly accurate estimates may be
made and balances drawn. The kinds,
amount and cost of fertilizer used,
the labor applied, and the yield, these
should all be recorded. The farm
machinery as it is repaired, oiled
and stored away, should be apprais-
ed. Place a value on each animal
in short, make a complete inventory
the same as a merchant does, and
record it in a book for use next year.
Prepare to keep an individual milk
record of each cow next year. A lit.
tie book in which is kept the &C
count of cash received and cash paid
out is indispensable. 1t requires but
little time during the year to do
these things and it pays big.-Penn'

A Fairy Story.

1t is about some fairies am going to
tell,
Their home was in a woodland dell;
They were the incest, fairest ever
seen,
All under the care of a mother
queen.
Every night, when they came out to
Sance,
My, how they would jump and
prance
First on one f6St then on the other,
And each little fairy iUngvd- for a
brother.
That was something they could not
understand,
Why there were no boys in fairyland.
But heard the good mother say.
The boys might steal her fairies
away.
After the dance they all sat down to
There Were grasshopper wings fried
in butter;
The tea was made from drops of dew,
They all say it was good, and so
would you.
But what the fairies liked most,
Was blackbird's tongue and moon
beam toast;
Then the mother queen took each
little hand,
And led them to a place called sleep
land.
Each little fairy slept with another
beside her,
Each nightie was made from the web
of spider;
Then as each little fairy closed each
little eye,
They said goodnight, and SO will I.
To my little friends in Cambridge,
God bless them, one and all.
Frank E. Butler.
