Earns but S1.25 Per Day-Charged
| with deserving his wife and five little
| children, James r. Farber, a farmer
living three miles out of McCausland
was placed under arrest by Constable
Phil Kahles and arraigned before JUS
tice Phil Daum yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Farber is now living at Ca
manche. says her husband. He
charges that she is the one who de
serted the family hearthstone and
contends that he is faithful and low
ing husband. The couple was mar
ried 13 years ago. Farber says he is
thresher by trade and earns but
s1.25 per day in addition to his board
and lodging. This. he contends, is
the reason for the difficulty in the fam
lily and not any hayward propensities
on his part.
Levee Work May. Be Begun Soon
Building of the sea wall along the
levee from Main street east to the
government bridge may be continued

ceding. When a stage of z feet is

today from Alaska, reports sighting
an unidentified warship near Cape
Flattery early yesterday.
London, Aug. 19.-Despite deniaIs
from official sources the reports that
the liege forts have at last fallen are
persistent. Circumstantial accounts
of their being badly battered by the
German siege artillery and at last
blown up by the defenders are reach
ing here from several points on the
continent. This was known to have
been the plan, as the officers in COM
mand had been instructed that the
forts were not to be allowed to fall
into German hands and that when
the time came for them to be aban-
doned they were to be demolished by
high explosives already in place.
There is on official confirmation,
however, of the report that this has
taken place. The last word received
here regarding the forts from Brus-
sells quoted the Belgian general staff
as saying: |

French armies are operating north
from the Swiss frontier; having en-
tered Alsace near Belfort, south from
Nancy and east through all of the
passes of the Vosges mountains.
The general staff says the Germans
have decided not to defend Saarburg
and will make their first real deter
mined stand at Strassburg. The Ger

Do You Know What vinol Week Means7

Some years ago the Vinol FRATERNITY,
of which Druehl q Franken are mem
bers, originated the idea Of having
National Display Week of Vinol and
it's companion products semi'annually.
The Vinol Fraternity is an extensive
organization numbering among its
members the leading druggist in every
town, city and hamlet in the United
States, Canada, Cuba and far-off South
America, and travellers often remark
of the wonderful window displays of
Vinol that they have noticed in diff"
ferent parts of the country during
Vinol Week.
Druehl & Franken (druggists) are
now preparing for yinol Week, which
begins this spring March IA. Their
attractive window arrangements and
store decorations show the same
enthusiasm which they have for years
put behind this meritorlous Cod-Liver
and Iron preparation. From time to
time they give away Cook Books, in
which many women are interested.
Their latest book, on Good Bread, will
be distributed during Vinol Week, and
every woman who is interested should
call and get one. (Advertisement.)
