Need Better Farm Methods

Chicago. Nov. 13.-The American
farmer is failure as compared with
the European. and at the present rate
the people of the United States will
be starving to death in the next CEN
tury, according to statements made
here today by H. p. Gross, president
of the National Soil Fertility league,
in addressing the convention of the
Railway Development association.
American farmers require five
times the ground that their brothers
across the sea do, he said. He added
that whereas two-thirds Of the people
were engaged in farm work 20 years
ago. only one-third is now cultivating
the soil.

Enormous Cost Of War.

London, Nov. lat is reported in
the parliamentary lobbies that Premier
Asquith will on Tuesday ask parlia-
ment's sanction for the raising of l..
100000 additional troops for the war.
thus bringing the total up to 1900, 900
men.
Much interest is shown in the fl.
nancing OF the war. It is understood
that the government intends to issue
war loan of $1,0o0,00O.O00 or more,
probably at per cent, and redeem.
able within ten years. It is estimated
that Great Britain is spending S35. 900.
900 weekly on the war, and in addition
to the war loan, the government NAV
propose to raise a further $780, 900
by increasing the income tax to half
a crown on the pound. This would
provide for the next expenditure till
March, the end of the fiscal year.

Suffraqists Plan Campaign

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 13.-By a
vote of almost to l., the convention
of the National American Woman
Suffrage association here late today,
decided that it's work before congress
in the coming year shall not be limit
ed to efforts for passage of the Bris-
tow-Mondell suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution. At an earl
Ter session, the association declared
by decisive majority that its con-
gressional committee shall not con-
duct campaigns against candidates in
any state without consent of the suf-
frage associations in that state.
The action of the association on
these matters settled two of the most
important questions before the con.
vention. Each had given rise to
much division of opinion among suf.
fragists in the last few months and
each has a significant bearing on
plans for next years campaign. The
debate on both questions was spirit
ed and developed much bitterness.

GERMANS TAKE CITY
Allies Driven From Position BY Fierce
Attack Of Enemy.

Attack OF enemy.
London, Nov. 1.-THE German wal
machine has battered its way into the
Belgian town of Dixmude. Today's
official French statements contain the
admission that the allies were Obliged
to fall back from it's point of vantage
in the great battle for the possession
of the east shore of the English chan.
mel. AS an Offset the French war of.
flee states that the allies forces have
advanced along the North sea coast,
pushing back the Germans and taking
Lombaerdtzde, a small Belgian town
a few miles northeast of Nieuport.
The warning nations awaited with
keen suspense the outcome of the
struggle in Belgium. which for the mo.
ment overshadowed the conflicts on
the many other fields of battle. From
no other point came reports of i'm.
portant changes in the situation.
The capture of Dixmude was the
first indication that the new attack of
the Germans, described as their su-
preme effort and as probably marking
a turning point in the war, had
brought definite results. Between Dix
nude and Ypres to the south border,
the fighting has been most intense,
since the Germans elected at the open
ing of the week to begin the new on
slaught with the help of their rein
forcements of fresh troops and new
artillery. On October Is, during the
advance on Ostend, the Germans oc-
cupied Dixmude, but later were COM
PEELED to fall back.
The allies gained possession of the
town temporarily but their presence
there was challenged repeatedly by
the Germans, resulting in some of the
most important and sanguinary fight
ing of the war. Whether the German
victory will exert an important in
fluence on the outcome is not yet dis
closed
Behind Dixmude is the direct road
to Dunkirk, one of the French ports on
which the Germans have set their
hearts, and if they can break through
here, the allies will be compelled to
fall back to new positions.

The Level-Headed Man
The Effective Man.

There are many virtues ana attflp-
utes that go to make up the successful
man. And when the word successfui
is used. 1t is In that broader sense that
stands for the well-rounded citizen
whose success is in what he accom-
plfsfes in the worlds work. rather than
what ne acquires of the worlds goods.
And of all these virtues and all THESE
attributes there is none that counts
more effectively, in the long run, than
seff-control.
The level-headed man is the man
whose value is indeed 'far above
rubtes." The man who faces the crisis
with a quiet and unfaltering> courage,
and who, instead of dissipating his
energies in useless railing and his
strength in futile recriminations, lends
his every physical. mental and moral
power to directing that energy into
channels where it may be of service.
There is nothing in the world so fu-
tile, so Intellectual and so unproductive
of any good, ass the habit of mind that
induces censure, recrimination and
suspicion.
The man who counts in the affairs of
men is the man who brides his tongue,
who curbs his temper and keeps his
head in the face of a crisis.

You can't unscramble eggs" declar-
| ed ]. P. Morgan when he was asked
why he and his associates were with
drawing from interlocking directorates
Morgan and his friends knew what
was coming and they simply decided to
comply with the law without being
forced to do so. and thus President
wilson's administration has accom-
plished more in the wav Of breaking
up trusts, without resorting to the
courts, than any Of his predecessors
have ever accomplished.
There has been great strain on the
president and it is no wonder that his
health began to fail. No president
ever did the same amount of work in
the same time. and the vacation that
the president has been enjoying on the
gulf coast has shown that he has Won
derful recuperative powers and that he
will return to Washington prepared for
another arduous siege. It is probable
that congress viii Iremain in session
until the summer months come, and it
Will not be until then that the patriot
ic, Christian gentleman who is the
chief executive Of this great nation will
get another chance for a vacation of
even three weeks duration.
The country should rejoice that
President Wilson's health has been so
completely restored by the splendid
climate OF the south.
