Counter-attacks Costly

So far the losses may be held to be fairly
equal. But now the enemy, bringing up
his reserves, endeavors to retake his old
positions under fire of an artillery still SUI
perior and an infantry occupying his old
trenches. Here he suffers very great losses,
and his casualty list at the end of the fight
exceeds that of the Allies. This was the
case at Neuve Chapelle, if the British fig
ures for German losses be accepted; that is,
if ii be believed, as Field Marshal Sir John
French insists, that the German loss was
nearly 10000. The British was $4,000. But
the German claim is that their own loss
was but 5000. To support the British figure
is the eyewitness" assertion that nearly
5000 Germans were buried on the field after
the fight.
At ST. Mihel If the French bulletins are
accepted, and they have the air of accuracy
lacking in the German, because they give
in detail the ground captured and the time
of taking with circumstanual particulars,
while the German statement Ia merely a
general denial, the procedure was the same.
The French seized the heights of Les
Eparges after sharp fighting and then heat
off a long series of counter attacks which
cost the Germans terrible loss, This Is
again confrmatory of Beloc's theory and
an example of Joffre's "nibbling."
Now, in the Civil War. Grants policy of
attrltion in Virginia was supplemented after

Students Turn Farmers.

Thirty of the F. H. n. students viii
pay their way through school or enjoy
visit to the Worlds Fair at San Fran
cisco from the proceeds of their garden
plots.
Mr.. Matthew of the Mathematics de-
partment, and Mr.. Speer, Agriculture
teacher, have formulated a plan by
which these students can take plot of
one fourth of an acre and raise enough
garden truck on this plot to pay for a
visit to the Panama Pacific Exposition
A trucksters club has been fotmed to
handle the vegetables raised. These
vegetables viii be sold in Hays and the
adjoining towns What is raised over
and above the demand, VIII be canned
and sold.
The land that will be used, is part of
the Normal Campus and can be irrigat-
ed from the Normal irrigation plant,
The students viii pay rent to the state
and furnish their own seed. Two hours
work each day viii take care of the
garden.
A regular land drawing was held, due
to the fact that there were forty three
students desiring land and only thirty
plots Of land TO be had.

Think it Over.


The weekly newspaper promotes the
interests of the town in which it is pub
lished to such an extent that it becomes
impossible to place an estimate upon
its worth. There is no enterprise that
does so much for the corporations or
the individual citizen as the paper. 1t
stands opposed to the town knocker,
the town kicker, the town fanatic and
the town drones. 1t stands for action
as against dry rot. 1t stands for pro-
gress as against stagnation 1t is ever
ready to combat the scheme of vision
aries and as ready to aid the construct
i've plans of the wise and level-headed
citizens. 1t is for the upbuilding of the
community. The paper has not yet
come in its own, however, because it is
never appreciated to the extent of its
worth by the people at large. Yet
when battles are to be fought for town
or country rush is made to the news
paper Office always to find the loyal ed
itor ready, frequently without hope of
reward. Many other enterprises are
encouraged by bonus, but rarely is
the newspaper offered any such help
and still more often not given the sup
port it is entitled to. Communities
frequently lose sight of their real bene-
factor when they fail to recognize the
weekly journal as such. The editor
and his paper stand as the bulwarks of
defence against the attacks of evil or
designing schemes affecting the good
of the individual or the town. For
these and other reasons the newspapers
of the town and county should receive
the support of the public at large in a
very liberal degree, for it is really the
most important business enterprise of
the community. -Genoese Journal.

endorse these bonds, which would

amounted to seven hundred and

Many people overlook the indi-
rect effect Of industrial depression
upon every line of business. Just
now, for instance, attention has
been directed to the fact that al
though this country has received
enormous orders for shoes for the
warning nations of Europe, yet the
shoe industry is experiencing ex-
ceptionally dull times. The reason is
not difficult to find. A pair Of shoes
may easily be made to wear dou-
BILE length of time. The man who, In
GOOD times, would discard a shabby
pair Of shoes and buy new pair,
will, in hard times, have a small
patch put on the uppers and new
half-sole nailed on, and then wear
the repaired shoes until he gets
thoroughly ashamed of them. Chill
dren whose parents would encour-
age them to wear shoes in good
times, will encourage them to go
barefoot when money 10 scarce, All
this makes dull times for the deal
er in shoes, who, by making his
clothes wear twice as long, cuts
down the trade of the clothing mer-
chant. The clothing dealer makes
up his loss by letting his house so
another year without painting, and
the painter and paint dealer must
economic in some other respect. 1t
is a simple process of elimination
OF business, but it could not be
understood by the tariff thinkers who
started all the trouble in 1913 by
enacting a law which invited the
cheap labor of Europe to come in
and take the trade that belonged by
right to the workmen of the United
States.
