Ready for Warsaw Drive.

! London, June 30.-Sweeping across
the frontier of Poland, 80 miles north,
east Of Lemberg, the German army
has bent back the Russian line at
Mostywielkie and northeast Tomas,
zow, Poland, and for the first time
since Won Hindenburg's retreat
months ago has placed a huge body
of Teutonic troops on Russian soil in
this region for the new drive upon
Warsaw. .. .-. w..
Teutonic gains in this region, ac-
cording to the official statement from
Berlin. we're accomplished only after a
stubborn battle by the Russians who
were finally forced back by heavy
fire from the great German guns which
demolished their defenses. Following
the retreat of the Russians in this re-
gion to the River Bug, the Slavs
are also reported to have crossed that
river and to be retreating upon the
Nanew and the River San.

At the same time General Won Lin
singen's army. which captured Halicz,
after q f1Ye-days' battle. has thrown
the Russians back at practically all
points along the Dniester, forcing
them across the Gnita Lipa river at
Firlejoy, 30 miles southeast of Lem
berg. 49,. ...s ....
General Won Hindenburg. who led
two unsuccessful drives against War
saw early in the war, is now leading
ia heavy attack on the Russian de-
lenses about Przasnysz. His plan Is
TO descend upon Warsaw from the
northwest, while Won Mackensen cuts
northward against the Polish capital.
From Berlin reports 1t appears that
the only foothold which the Russians
now maintain on Austrian soil is in
southeastern Galicia, and at few
points some miles east of Lemberg.

Unofficial dispatches from Petrograd

These dispatches, however, claim that
the retreat is being made in good or

DANGER in CONTINUOUS
CROPPING TO WHEAT

Soil, rainfall and other conditions
are SO varied in the broad region that
we term the Inland Empire that CIV
ing advice by generalization is unsafe.
A. S. Newland, four miles southwest
of Ritzville. says he is convinced from
this years crop that 1t does not pay
to rotate crops to avoid summer fall
lowing. He reports that land on which
he grew potatoes last year and wheat
this season shows a reduction in yield
of SO per cent under that in summer
fallow.
Mr.. Newland's conclusions are prob
ably sound in respect to his own farm
and would not apply where conditions
are different.
The benefits of summer following
are threefold: to conserve moisture, TO
permit the soil to rest" and tc des-
troy weeds. Where the precipitation
is near the minimum required to grow
crops summer following may be nee
essary, and it will be beneficial In
proportion as the ground is cleard OF
weeds. A heavy growth Of weeds VIII
as much moisture as a crop
so summer fallow that is heavy with
weeds is of little aid where moisture
is the prime need to growing crops
This is borne out by Mr.. Newland's ex.
perience, for he finds that good pillow
ing and clean summer fallow give him
! satisfactory results.
But in localities where the rainfall
is more ample and the soil has not
! grown foul" with weeds crop rotation
will give the same results as summe
following with regard to conservation
OF the soil and keeping the ground
clean of weed growth; and It will keep
the farmers capital-his land-work-
ing all the time instead OF half the
time.
The point is this these questions
must be solved separately by separate
districts, and often by separate indi'
viduals, for conditions that govern tbs
conservation Of moisture will OTTER
vary widely I'm the same neighborhood
One conclusion, however, is genera
and irrefutahle-that continuous crop
ping to wheat, with or without sum
mel fallow, must lead inevitably TO thu
wearing out Of the soil-tbe wasting
OF the farmers Capital. 1t Will catch
some before II gets others, but farm
ers who know no other crop thai
wheat are all travelling the same road
II young men now. old age will fin'
them without farms. II, after full ant
intelligent testing. they are convince'
that their land is not suited to anothe
crop they would better WORK their wa.
into dairy farming and cut their whea
green from the silo.-Spokesman Re

Housewives Who Use Them For Any
Other Purpose VIII Be In Bad

The state health department thas
issued a circular letter along the fol-
lowing lines regarding the use OF milk
bottles. The request is made that IT
be published so that all may know
that they are going contrary to the
law If they use the bottles for any
purpose other than that originally in
tended. The letter says:
1T shall be unlawful to fill or re-
fill with milk, ream or other milk
product any glass jar or bottle hav-
ing the name of any person, firm or
corporation blown therein or any pri-
vate marks ~irrespectively branded,
stamped, etched, or blown therein"
This provision of the law makes II
a misdemeanor for one dairyman to
use the bottles Of another dairyman
in handling milk IT cream.
The consumers attention is invited
to the provision of the law making II
a misdemeanor to use milk can OF
milk bottles for any purpose other
than the holding of milk or cream,
This law reads as follows, Capter
212, Session Laws 1911. Section 4:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son other than the rightful owner
thereof to use any (milk) can, bottle
cask, keg, barrel or other receptacle
marked or branded as herein provided
for any ether purpose, or for the
transportation or handling of any ar
ticle or product than designed OIL
provided for by such branding"
1t has come to the attention of this
department that milk bottles regis
tered and marked with the name of the
owner, are being confiscated by some
housewives and used as jelly glasses
etc. This is not only unfair to thu
dairyman, but is a violation of law
Investigations along this line will b.
made and prosecution instituted wher'
facts are sufficient to warrant sucl
action.
1t might be well for the public t.
bear in mind that a registered mill
bottle cannot be sold by the dairy
man and cannot be used by anyon'
other than the owner, for any pur
pose and can be used by the owne
' for the transportation and deliv
cry of milk and cream
Creameries, dairies, junk dealer
and all others are warned that thi
law will be enforced.
Very respectfully,

The new combined harvester and
reaper manufactured by the Deering
people of Chicago and sold by the In
ternational Harvester company is at
tracing much favorable attention
among the farmers of Power county.
There are five of the little one-man
harvesters in operation now in the
Rockland section and according to all
reports they are solving the harvest
problem in a way that promises well
for their future sale. T.. F. Anderson
of Chicago has been here since July
which have not yet reached the ideal
Estate of perfection for rough land like
that of the Rockland valley. They have

This is their first trial on rough land.
They have no leveling devise so that
II was found necessary to fasten wood
en- strips to the grain a to prevent
the grain from shifting too much on
| the hillsides, The harvester takes a
nine-foot cut and is pulled with eight,
ten, or twelve horses as the nature OF
the ground demands. The grain is
elevated from the sickle to the cylin-
der similar to that on the old m
bines and separators. The cylinder
is 24x1S. From the cylinder the grain
falls to the riddle box and is cleaned.
It can be received in sacks, which re-
auires an extra man, or allowed to fill
a box with a capacity of about eighteen
bushels. II requires abut five min
utes for a mar to empty the box for de-
livery to sacks or granary. In ten
hours the harvester covers about eigh-
teen acres of ground. Five of the ma
chimes are at work in the Rockland
valley at the present time. Ross Nc
Carly, Lew Hampton, Bishop May,
Martin earns and A. ID. Babcock are
using them to harvest their crops. Mr.
Anderson has been with the /. II. c
for years and says that there will be
several improvements made to the ma
! chine next year, and that the cost will
probably be raised to about 5000, in
stead OF the present price of $3.50. HI
intends to remain here thru harves'

1T PAYS TO ROTATE

The crops are rotated on the twent-
ty-three demonstration farms oper-
ated in North Dakota. This gives
each crop the best chance to do well.
In 1914 the average cost per acre OF
producing the crops was 1913, the
average income per acre was $17.49,
leaving an average net return of
$3.50.
The net profits per acre from each
crop was: Corn $S.49, hard wheat
$500, durum 1888, oats $7.S7, barley
$2..O7 oats and peas, 1888, clover
1886, timothy and clover $17.96, pota-
toes 1851, winter rye $1,000. alfalfa
s2O.95, and millet a loss Of s1.S6. The
first of these farms were started nine
years ago. A five to six year rotation
is practiced on most of them.-Rural

MARRIED IN McAlESTER.
Miss Laura Dudley and Frank Gibson
Married June 13.

Frank Gibson, cashier of the First
National bank of Durant, and Miss
Laura Dudley of Marysville, Texas,
came to McAlester TO be married,
Sunday, in order to escape the atten-
ton of enthusiastic friends, but, in
the midst of a dinner party at the
Busby hotel Sunday evening, the new
~ acquired McAlester friends were
sufficiently thoughtful to see that the
customary rice shower was not neg
lected. Several times during the din.
ner hour showers of rice came from
all corners of the table and the blush
ing newlyweds were forced to proceed
with the dinner courses under the
interested observation of throngs of
strangers.
incidentally, Mr. and Mrs. Gibson
braved the "unlucky" numeral thir-
teen, duplicated in the wedding event.
1t happened to be the thirteenth of
the month and there were thirteen in
the bridal party.
The bride AMI bridegroom were
chaperoned from Durant by Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob Amsel, Miss Ada Dudley,
a sister of the bride, Mr.. Jay Cline,
Mr.. Joe Berlowitz, Mr.. Berlowitz act
ing as master of ceremonies in ar
ranging for the wedding and dinner.
The McAlester people who attended
the wedding and joined the dinner
party at the Busby were Rev. and
Mrs. Mark w. SeXson, Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Berlowitz, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Mazer. Rev. SeXson performed
the marriage ceremony at the Sex
son home at 4:30 in the afternoon.
After remaining in McAlester over
night, Mr. and Mrs. Gibson returned
to Durant Monday. The other mem
bers of the party from Durant re-
turned home Sunday night. - McAles-

will only invite a condition of chaos
in event of war.
"The statement of assistant secreta-
rv Roosevelt that we need $4,000 men,
is undoubtedly true. The navy is de-
teriorating for lack of men. The target
practice this last year is not better
than it was ten years ago.
Congress is negligent in not having
established a national council of de-
fense, general staff and an organ
lied naval reserve of 10000 eXperisnc-
ed men,
"In calling attention to these defects,
have not done so for the sake Of crit
icising the present head of the navy
for although feel that he must be held
responsible for the demoralized condi-
ton of the personnel and the decreas-
ed efficiency of the navy at the pres
ent time. yet the lack of any definite
naval policy for many years, except
in the general board of the navy, and
the failure of the people and congress
to recognize the necessity for such a
policy, has placed us in a position OF
inferiority, which circumstance may
lead US to war, 'or cause us great EN-,
barrassment, as we'll as discredit to
the country.
The investigation of our national
defense and a comprehensive plan for
the future should be an obligatory mat
ter in our next congress, for the navy
belongs to the people of the country,
and they have a right to know it's
condition and how it is being managed
The mere appropriation of vastly in
creased sums would not be instrument
tai in bringing about the necessary
reforms or military efficiency of the
organization, that can only be accom-
plished by an investigation of actual
and a demand for needed
changes in the way of military re-
forms. which would be forced upon
by an enlightened public SEN
timent.
This investigation and knowledge
has been denied to the people by the
leaders of the party in power 1t is
ieplorable that there should be an in
iuence to deceive the people in a mat
ter of such vital Importance. We have
reached a period in the worlds his
tory. when it must be recognized that
If we are to maintain peace. and safe
guard the interests of our people, we
must be prepared to defend ourselves. |

NAT|O NAL
DEFENSES
FORMER SECRETARY OF NAVY
MEYER ASSERTS AMERICAN
NAVY is DETERIoRATlNG OUT
LINES CONDITIONS.

New York, June 15.-George Won l..
Meyer, who was secretary of the navy
in president Tafts cabinet, addressing
the peace and preparation conference
of the National Security League at
luncheon today, asserted that the
American navy is deteriorating, outlin-
ed the respects in which he believed
such to be the case, and urged that
investigation of the national defense
and a comprehensive plan for the fu-
ture should be made obligatory upon
the next congress.
Lack of battle-cruisers, airships,
armed aeroplanes and men, lack OF a
naval reserve of experienced men, lack
of "a comprehensive policy of national
defense, lack of general public knowl-
edge of the navy's condition, reduc-
ton of compliments of some ships to
man other and newer ships and gen
eral unpreparedness on the part of
many battleships and other fighting
units were enumerated as instances of
naval inferiority. Mr.. Meyer said, in
part:
"Of the thirty-three battleships, we
have only twenty one that are fitted
for service without long delay. Fur
thermore, we have about seventy mis-
celaneous fighting ships not prepared
for service in case of emergency.
1--WE lack battle cruisers, airships
and armed aeroplanes.
"Our submarines are in a crippled
condition.
THE complement of all torpedo boat
destroyers has been reduced from fif-
teen to twenty-five per cent to get
men to commission new boats. This
reduction in personnel is serious
handicap, reduces the efficiency of the
destroyers, affects contentment, and
prevents the boat being kept in good
condition.
"The Atlantic fleet alone needs 5000
more men.
"The reserve fleet at Philadelphia |
was largely depleted in order to get
a crew for the Alabama when she was
ordered to Hampton Roads to enforce
neutrality.
The review in New York this year
was a poor imitation of previous re
views, in that the reserve fleet was
absent. 1t was a mere parade, not a
mobilization 1t did not indicate the
true condition of the navy because
the people did not know the whole
truth.
"For lack of men, ships are laid up
at navy yards, where they rapidly de-
teriorate, like a vacant house. All
small ships and all cruisers now laid
up for lack of men, are needed in MeXi-
co and elsewhere, and should be ready
for an emergency call to prevent the
of battleships at gunboat
duty. The complement of enlisted 4
men at shore stations and training sta
tions has been cut down with a decid-
ed loss of efficiency; and greatly to
the discomfort and discomfort of the
men.
"To enumerate the ships in the navy
and make a list of new ships author.
lied, gives no idea whatever of the
true condition of the navy as to its
readiness for war Ships without men
are of little use and a navy without
organization at the navy department,
