 The fight is turning against the wornout troops of the Kaiser the number of whom that are engaged is estimated at 750,OO0. The tired and almost exhausted ranks encountered the relatively fresh soldiers of France and England.
 The invaders have their great est possible strength in action, while the Allies are being aug mented by fresh men steadily.

 BATTLE ON
 IN EAST

LONDON, Sept. S.-Dispatch- es from Petrograd convey the news that the second great bat tle-or series of battles-be- tween the Russian and German and Austrian forces in Galicia and Russian Poland is now wag- ing, and that thus far the vic tory has been with the Russians. The Austrians were disasterOus- ly defeated south of Lublin Sum- day, and the Russians yesterday gained a notable advantage in the fighting west of Lemberg, against the army that was driv- en out of that place, and which has been reinforced by Germans and encouraged to fight again by German officers.
 The London Times Petrograd correspondent said this morn- ing, referring to the battle that is now under way:
 "If the battles now under way between the Russians and the Austrians west of Lemberg and in Russian Poland shall result as successfully as did the Russian operations against Lemberg, it will mean the complete over throw of the Empire of Francis Joseph and practically open the road to Berlin"
 RUSSIANS PICKED TO WIN.
 Continuing, the Times cores pondent said:
 "ReIiabIe information avail able here as to the progress of the battle enables me to say that the outlook is not one whit less promising than was the fighting leading up to the climax at Lem berg. However, it might we'll be that several days may elapse be- fore the final overthrow of the Austrian army"
 The Times correspondent esti- mates that there are 30 army di- visions in the Austrian army that is engaged besides several German army corps, apprOxi- mating, all told three quarters of a million men. They are greatly outnumbered by the Russians, however, but twill fight with the courage of dis pair"

Quaint and coquettish, yet eminent
ly practical, is the newest thing in
motor headgear. 1t is made of soft
textured taffeta, and In shape 1t most
nearly resembles the puffy crowned
caps worn by infants not so many
years ago. A two-inch broad band in
straw, fitting smoothly about the
head and coming well over the brow,
does duty as brim, and to its upper
edge is attached a silk crown that
is puffy and crushable looking because
It's plaits are many and deep. Pipings
of tafeta finish both edges of the
straw band, and to its sides, directly
over the ears, are attached huge choux
In silk These unfold into two long
streamers, which will swathe the
throat and shoulders If necessary. A
similar motor hat may be developed
In the heaviest quality of chiffon, pro-
viding that its crown portion is lined
with silk. Many women prefer these,
as one of the rosette-loosened streams
can also be used as face veil.

KEEP WORK HORSES IN BARN
Animals Do Better When Kept In Sta.
BILE at Night instead Of Being
Turned Into Pasture.

Horses that are working hard will
not do as we'll when turned out to
pasture at night as when kept In and
fed regularly on dry feed. They are
not as apt to rest as well in the pas
ture as in good barn, and the green
feed they get at night may result in
digestive disturbances, collie and
scours. CRASHED horses cannot stand
as hard work as the dry-fed horse,
for the dry feeds are the ones which
build the muscle for the horse.
Along later in the fall the fall pas
ture will not hurt, especially for the
young colts and the brood mares.
II you mist feed corn to the work
horses give them something else in
the grain ration. Corn alone is not
a good feed, as 1t is too fattening.
A combination of corn, bran and a
little oil meal makes an ideal summer
ration for horses II you are short on
oats. 1,000-pound horse would re-
quire about ten pounds OF corn and
three pounds of bran with little oil
meal per day. This will be equivalent
10 fourteen pounds Of oats.

IN BLACK AND WHITE
COSTUMES OF THOSE CoLoRs
RETAIN POPULARITY.
Are EeasIiy the PredomlnatIng Notes
at Fashionable Gatherinss-Hats,
Sunshades, and Footgesr Also
of Contrasting Shades.

The union of black and white is GER
tainly marriage de raison," for it is
both practical and distinguished, and
the fashion has lasted so long that
every one is astonished at 30 much
constancy in the realm of fashion
which is always full of fantasy and
eager for novelty and change.
Black and white are the tones most
In vogue for elegant toilets. Smart
women of the world are bound to have
white costumes, black costumes and
costumes in which both intermingle.
Here and there brighter note is seen.
Sashes. coates, hats and sunshades
are often of gay colors, but the pre-
dominating notes at all fashionable
gatherings are undoubtedly black and
white.
When cleverly and artistically com
hined, even simple black and white
costumes, like the one of today's
sketch, become most interesting.
The material here was crepon, and
was called casino frock by the house
that turned it out.
The blouse and tunic were In white,
with black stencil design bordering
the sleeve seams and the hem of the
tunic. A wide collar OF fine white
batiste turned away from the neck,
and the blouse fronts and sleeve ends
had pretty trimming of crocheted
ball-buttons hung on cords. Another
unusual note was the way in which the

SOIL RoBBlNG is IMMORAL
Poverty and Social Ills Go With Wear
ing Out of Land--French and
Belgian Farmers Prosper.

No nation ever has survived, nor can
survive, the decline of its agriculture.
The decline OF the Roman republic be-
gan when its farmers moved to town
and had their lands cultivated by
slaves. France and Belgium prosper
because they are nations of small far
mers, who cultivate their land to its
utmost limit. England and Ireland
are prospecting because there is no
such thing In either country as worm
out land. America, Notwithstanding
Its almost limitless resources, can
scarcely feed its own people much
longer
We need not go far to see the i'm
morality of soil robbing, says Wal
lace's Farmer II a farm in any To-
cality becomes worn out, even though
that wearing out be little more than
the exhaustion of the humus material
in the soil, 1t must expect to have a
poor tenant. For good tenant, who
understands his business, will not
waste his time farming worn-out land.
He may undertake to restore It; but
If he is wise, 1t will be done at the
expense Of the owner.
The rule, as illustrated in thousands
of instances, is that the poorer tenants
get the poorer land. Having poor land,
they must continue to be poor, which
means that they lose standing In the
community, They are not able to edu.
cate their children; they are not able
to live as other farmers live. When
this becomes general in any township,
1t means that the schools in that town.
ship are poor. 1t means that the
churches dwindle in membership, and
finally pass out. II means that immor-
ality becomes common even in the
sports of the young people. 1t means,
in short, lack Of social influence and
Of political influence on the part Of
the farmers. These are the penalties
for soil robbing, which nature imposes
with absolute certainty and unfailins
accuracy.

MUST FIT TO PERFECTION
All the Charm of the Tunlc 10 Lost
Unless Care Is Taken In
That Respect.

All selfrespecting women have
taken to tunics. The tunic to be beau
tiful must be Unanswered with the
utmost care or it will emphasize the
regrettable points in ones figure.
Its cut and adjustment are not by
any means child's play, and 1t looks
as II science and experience we're to
come into their own again.
The amateur, who till lately has
bungled to her hearts content with
clothes that need not At to look smart,
and sashes that charitably cover a
multitude Of sins, will have to confess
herself beaten. Perhaps the lace tunic
is responsible for the idea that 1t is
easy to manage the latter success
fully.
Lace seems delightfully."- simple to
handle until you have tried utilizing
the family heirloom to its best advan-
tage, and to your own and have failed
ingloriously. This season lace fig
ures on everything. Chantilly, both
black and white, is the rage, and
malines and milanese point run 1t
very close.

Best Soil for Alfalfa.

Alfalfa seems to do best on sandy
loan soils that have good supply OF
plant food and are well drained
though 1t has been known to have
grown in q heavy clay coil. 1t will dc
well on any soil that will produce
wheat or corn.
The field designed for alfalfa should
be selected with the view of leaving
it for several years. The plant seems
to reach its prime in four years and
can, as rule, DO left in field profit
ably for seven or eight years, No diff
fculty Is experienced in getting alfalfa
out of the field, IL It Is SO desired, If q
field Of 1t is plowed In midsummer and
kept well cultivated.

NUB|AN |BEX HUNT
Animal Hard to Find in Crags
That Form Home.
Takes Vast Amount Of Effort to Move
Them as They Rely for Safety
More on conceaIment Than
Flight.

London.-All those who have jour
neyed through the Red Sea can hardly
have failed to notice the desolate RED
hills that seem to rise almost directly
from the water close to the southwest
of Suez, and will very likely have re-
marked on the preference of long
drink and a deck chair to scramble
on their subscribed slopes. These
same hills run in an unbroken chain
parallel to the coast, through Egypt
and the Red Sea Province OF the SUI
dan right down to Eritrea. The CHIEF
inhabitants OF this desolate region are
the wild native tribes and the Nubian
ibex (Capra nubiana typical, 1t was
to obtain specimens of the latter that
! journeyed out to Port Sudan In FeD-
ruary, 1918. writes j. H. Miller. -Four
days northwards by camel brought us
to a district known as Erba, where
ibex we're said to be very plentiful.
The only method of hunting known to
the shaggy headed locals is driving,
and It must be admitted that this un-
skillful form, so foreign to the heart
of the true hunter, is in this case the
most likely to lead to success. The
reason of this is that, unlike the hex
OF the Himalayas and Central Asia,
which can be easily found at any hour
of the day, the Nubian ibex, to escape
the heat, lies up during the whole OF

ing to its small size (height at shout
der 20 to 30 inches) and protective
coloring. is exceedingly difficult to find
among the turmoil of wind-worn crags
that form its home. Having obtained
the services of some 80 of the local
tribesmen, the morning after my ar
rival started before dawn to climb to
a commanding position known to the
two men who accompanied me. Look
ing back we could see the beaters
starting off, In small parties, to take
up their positions for drive. Having
taken up position that allowed Of a
clear field of fire over a hillside
streaked with many goat tracks, was
at liberty to regain my breath and en-
Joy the sunrise. All round us was
medley Of rugged red granite peaks
divided by deep cut wadis. There is
no running water in this region, but
here and there In dark gorges, where
the sun never reaches, are large pools
which are replenished by the yearly
rains. In these gullies and on the
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-09-03

northern slopes quite a large variety
of small trees and shrubs flourish.
From my lofty position the sea was
just visible far to the east. Distant
shouting informed us that the drive
had commenced, and here and there
figures were visible on the sky line.
1t takes a lot to move these ibex, who
rely for their safety more on conceal
ment than flight, Not till large boul-
ders have been hurled down almost
on to the top Of them will they leave
their strongholds and make for less
disturbed locality. AS the shouting
and rattle of falling boulders ap-
preached, several herds of goats began
to appear and disappear. Some broke
back and others attempted to escape
on either flank, but the latter we're
generally turned in my direction by
men skillfully posted for that purpose.
Quite one hundred and fifty ibex must
nave passed me on this occasion in
herds of from five to thirty, but there
was not a single really big head
among the lot. In spite of the urgent
entreaties of my companions, l only
shot one buck with horns of 80 inches.
Having become somewhat tired of
this lazy form of hunting, which is not
of absorbing interest, and having shot
three out of the four specimens al
lowed on the license, / paid off the
heaters and journeyed southwards in
search Of a really big head. AS luck
would have it, the very first evening
on the new ground, while camp was
being pitched four bucks were spotted
among the rocks above. Selling my
rifle and some cartridges, and without
any excitable native to worry me, i
commenced the stalk and was eventu-
ally successful in bagging the best
which carried a magnificent pair Of
horns 44% inches In length.

GOATS PAY MORTGAGES
THEY CLEAN UP UNDERBRUSH
AND DESTROY WEEDS.
Animals Are Naturally Browsers and
Relish NoxIous Plants In Prefer
ence to Luxuriant Pasturage
Meat Is Nicely Favored.

tBy GEORGE II. DACY, Copyright, 1914)
Angora goats are profitable wage
earners. They clean up underbrush,
destroy weeds, yield profitable meat
and mohair and improve soil fertility
on minimum of feed and care They
are also naturally browsers and relish
underbrush and weeds in preference
to luxuriant pasturage. Without feed
other than what they rustic, grade
Angoras will produce from three to six
pounds of mohair per animal each
year, which sells on the market at
from IS to 60 cents per pound Well
cared for pure breds often yield as
high as ten or twelve pounds OF mo-
hair to shearing, while feeces Of spe-
cial luster and over fifteen or eighteen
Inches in length sometimes bring as
high as IS or So per pound.
The meat of the Angora is tender,
well marbled and nicely favored, and
many consumers eat goat meat and
imagine that they are consuming lamb
or mutton. On the grade fat Angoras
sell for from four to six and a half
cents pound. The manure of the
goat rivals that Of sheep as a tonic
for ailing soils.
Angoras are first aids to farmers
who desire to inexpensively subdue
wild land. Twenty-Five or thirty goats
pastured on 100 acres of bush land will
effect wonders in a couple Of years to-
ward retaining the idle land. 1t is
best to rotate the goats from one small
field to another so that the animals
are constantly gaining in live weight
and at the same time killing out the
undesirable growth. Angoras will
stand on their hind legs and browse all
the leaves and twigs within their
reach. They uniformly Craze over a
field so that when they are through
with the task of cleaning the land
the field is in shape for blowing.
Grade Angoras range in price &C
cording to age, weight and condition.
Farmers can usually buy good cross
bred fiocks at from $3.50 to S. per an
imal. Pure bred bucks cost from $40
to $50 apiece, while full blooded does
sell for from IS to $50 per animal
The utility Of the Angora hinges
around his ability to perform valuable
work at cut price costs! Goats abhor
wet or swamp land as well as inclem-

TEACH CHILD TO EMBROIDER
Small Girl viii Soon Make Success
Of Garnlture That Is Just Now
SO Popular.

Embroidered sashes are In stronger
than ever this season. II you haven't
time to make the child an embroidered
sash, why not allow her to embroider
1t herself; that is, If she is ten years
old or more? It is surprising what
children can do in the embroidery line
If you but give them an opportunity.
Get piece of old ribbon to give them
their first lesson. This old piece will
make them an everyday sash, and
when the lesson has been learned, let
the child make a sash for Sunday-go-
to-meetin'-time.
The buttonhole stitch is quite simple,
and the ends may be done In that
stitch, straight or scalloped. The raw
edges of the ribbon may be left un-
adorned, however, with perfect pro-
priety, IL preferred. II the sash is
blue, why not embroider it in darker
or lighter shade of blue or In gold?
Any of these combinations would be
effective. French knots are the
easiest things imaginable to make
when once the knack is caught. A
dark blue or dark green sash, en-
broidered with sprays of French
knotted goldenrod in old-gold silk,
would be beautiful.
There is an odd fringe that can be
bought for sashee nova wooden
fringe that every CHILD will like for
its novelty. 1t is composed of silk
fringe and wooden beads, some Of the
beads being round and some being
long and egg-shaped. A bead fringe
also comes for sashes; but this ie not
