beach, the fighting among the sand
dunes has developed with advantage
to the allies, who have made consider
able progress with the aid Of the Brit
ish ships, which directed a severe fire
on the flank of the Germans, silenc-
ing their artillery wherever it entered
the engagement.

ALLIES ON OFFENSIVE FROM THE
COAST TO LA BASSEE-HEAVY
CASUALTIES REPORTED.
HOSPITALS ARE FILLING
Berlin Contends That All Attacks Have
Been Reputsed by Germans, With
Heavy Losses to AtIies.-French
Organize Ground Taken.

London.-The Germans and French
official communications do not disclose
much of what is going on in the west,
but it is apparent the allies are still
on the offensive from the coast to La
Bassee and at other points. While no
marked advances are reported, the
French claim progress and to have Or
ganized the ground they gained during
the preceding days. The Germans, on
the other hand, assert that the allies
attacks have been repulsed.
From the number Of wounded reach
ing the hospitals of both the Germans
and the allies it is evident that fight
ing in Flanders is more severe than
shown in the official dispatches. Cor
respondents report that the hospitals
again are filling, while along the Dutch
border continuous firing can be heard.

During the hearing there were also
admissions by John A. Hemler, mem
Ger OF the board when the sale was
made in 1898, that J. w. Simms, land
agent Of the board, had deposited $500
in the Merchants and Traders Bank
to Hemler's credit and told him it was
there for him: that it was out Of com,
missions that he had received for the

Mr.. Hemler applied the lie to the

Offensive Move Began by Allies-Gains
Made In Effort to Drive Germans
From 6ei0iums.

London.--All along the battle line
from Flanders to the Vosges the allies
began to move forward. with the i'm
mediate object Of driving the GERMANY
gut Of Belgium.
The present onslaught against the
German intrenchments is heavier than
any offensive assumed by the French,
British and Belgian forces since Gen.
Won Kluck was turned on the Aisne.
1t is the result Of a complete change
Of plan by Gems. Joffre and French. and
means that the campaign which was to
have begun in the spring is now under
way.

movement be successful, should be

operations just begun.
Berlin.-An official report given out
at headquarters said:
1.-THE French have made weak attack
against our positions between the
Meus and Vosges, but these were cas-

in Galicia again is in the hands of the
Austrians and that Piotrkow and an

to North Poland, where the German
victory is said to have been achieved.

Thursday was the largest of any day

beginning Of the European war. To-
tai clearances from all United States

that ocean room for at least $780, 900
bales more has been bought for sail
ings from the gulf ports this month

MANY PEOPLE In ANERICUS
DEPEND ON The GARDEN
To Reduce Higher Cost OF
Living Now

Americas people are, more than ever
before, preparing to live at home"
this fall and winter. Threats Of higher
prices for foodstuffs this winter ow
ing TO the European war have caused
more care to be taken in the prepare
ton of winter gardens than ever and
it is estimated that the acreage given
over to winter truck will be double
that of last winter
Successful crops so far this year
have placed the farmers generally on
a good footing, and with such a large
acreage in varied truck assured the
talk of high prices is not causing any
uneasiness.
Because Of the unusually mild eli
mate of this part of the state, it has
been found possible to have waht are
known as family gardens the entire
year. At no time does it get SO cold
that some of the gardens do not on
tain something that aids in cutting
down the grocery bill.
Each season the number of winter
gardens increases and it has gotten
50 now that the average trucker does
not count his years work done until
he has a winter garden.

MORE LIVE STOCK IS THE DEMAND
TO insure PROSPERITY OF SOUTH

For ten years or more advanced
farm thought in this section of the cot
ton belt has been in the direction OF
Investigation. Within the last three
or four years the slogan has turned to
hog and hominy, hay and corn. If
this had not been generally taken up
throughout the southeastern section
of the cotton belt the present condi-
ions would have been infinitely worse
than at present. However it seems
that we have yet room for improve
ment in this direction and thousands
of farmers and business men do not
appreciate the gravity of the situation.
Today it takes three pounds of cot
ton to purchase one pound of meat.
Today in this section of the cotton
belt it takes twice as much to produce
q pound of cotton as it does a pound
of beef or pound of pork. By this
simple mathematical fact it is shown
conclusively that we are paying six
