"The question:" he said, "is no

From plans Of Redfield and the fed.

Strong RESISTANCE
TO ALLIES OFFENSIVE
Cams Are Now By Yards In
stead Of Miles As On First
Attack

New York, Sept. 29,--The most sig.
nificant indication of the situation
along the western battle front is that
the allied official statements enumer.
ate gains of yards instead of miles and
prisoners by hundreds instead OF
thousands.
1t is apparent from this that the
Germans are putting up strong resist
ance, although they are not yet main.
tanning their position at all points. The
British apparently have abandoned
their plan for reaching Lille and have
halted north of Ypres. Meantime they
have concentrated strongly at Loos.
The Germans are facing a concerted
drive toward Douai, ~ miles east.
Through reinforcing the Douai vicinity
and elsewhere, the Germans at points
have probably been weakened. If che
allies can discover from what places the
Withdrawals have been made, they may
be able to pierce the German forces at
these spots.
Normally, before successful assault
can be delivered against entrenehments
strong artillery preparation is necessary
to blow up distractions in the path. In
this manner, the Germans would be
forewarned. The result would be a race
between the effectiveness Of the allied
artillery and the concentration Of Ger.
man soldiers in the threatned area.

Georgia, and South Carolina means
that for the first time live cattle can
be shipped from the sections freed for
anything but immediate slaughter, un-
less inspected or clipped and certified
by an inspector of the Bureau Of Ami
NAL industry in accordance with feder-
al regulation. Beginning with Sep
tember 10, however, stockers and feed
ers have been shipped from this terri
tory to northern markets for any pur-
poses. Heretofore cattle from these
sections when shipped had to go into
the quarantine pens at the slaughter
houses and be turned at once into meat,
irrespective of the prices then being Of
fered for stockers and feeders.
The southern cattle raiser in the
freed territory, moreover, not only
gains the advantage of being able to
sell his cattle in the free pens, but also
is spared the trouble and extra cost of
shipping them under quarantine condi-
tions in the stock cars.
In all since 1906, when the dipping
work was started, total Of 262, ,469
square miles have been freed from the
tick and released from quarantine, The
work of dipping was done cooperative
ly by the counties, the states and the
department of agriculture. There still
remains, however, $4,000 square miles
in the south still tick.infested, from
which live cattle can be shipped only
under quarantine regulations.
Those in charge of the work report
that where a territory is cleaned from
ticks stock raising receives a great i'm
petus not only because of the better
marketing conditions then open but be-
cause, with tie tick dipped out Of the
county, breeding animals can be i'm
ported and the quality of the stock i'm
proved As long as the region is tick
infested it is impossible to bring in
breeding animals, as animals so i'm

fever, which is transmitted by this en-
emy Of cattle in the south.

Garden Lovers Should Begin
To Plant Bulbs of Flowers

Garden lovers who wish their gardens
or the ground around their houses to be
rich with narcissus and jonquils, should
begin their work without delay, for
fall is the time to plant the bulbs of
these flowers. The work should be un-
dertaken as soon rs, or even before
an early frost has weakened the an
nual flowers in the bed.
In the ease of narcissus, many house
holds will find it advantageous to nat
uralize the plant so that it grows and
blossoms on the lawn much as the wild
flowers do. In many of the parks of
the larger estates of England, in por.
tions Of North Carolina, on estates
along the James River, in Virginia, and
in old New England gardens, narcissus-
es that were planted over half a cen
tury ago are still vigorous and produce
every spring beautiful display of
blossoms.
To naturalize the narcissus il should
be planted in the sod or partial shade.
Make a small hole in the soil five or
six inches deep, insert the bulb, point
ed end up, and press the soil over the
top. Planting in rows or geometrical
figures should be avoided. An easy
method of accomplishing this is s--to
scatter the bulbs as if one were SOW
ing seed, and then plant them where
they happen to fall.
When the tulip and narcissus bulbs

the soil should be loosened after each
rain and the bed kept free from weeds.
in the late fall and early winter it is
well to cover the beds with light
mulch of straw or leaves, to prevent
injury from alternate freezing and
thawing. This mulch should be gradu-
ally removed in spring when the growth
appears above the ground. If the soil
is well drained, the bulbs will not be
injured by severe cold
Under suitable conditions, tulip and
narcissus plants will increase from year
to year. The bulbs, therefore, may be
left in the ground for two or three
seasons until the clumps begin to
crowd. II is then desirable to trans
plant them. This should be done from
six to eight weeks after the spring
blossom in order to allow the foliage
TO die aown partially. The bulbs
should be lifted with spade or fork
and after the soil has been shaken
from the roots, stored in a cool, shady
place. When the old leaves and roots
are thoroughly dry, they may be rubbed
off and the clusters Of bulbs divided
These bulbs may be planted as the or
iginal bulbs were. In this way within
few years stock Of bulbs is very
considerably increased.
The freeing Of over 5000 square
miles Of southern territory from quar-
antine for cattle tick is Of interest not
only TO stock raisers in that section but
also TO feeders in the grain belt who
buy live southern cattle to fatten up

CUT JUICY MELON
IN BIG WAR LOAN
Wall Street JubiIant Now That

The bankers will get their portion
of the bonds at 96. On each 500 bond
they will net 81, for they will sell them
to the public at 9S The public S share
in the melon slicing will be SAG per
cent, secured by the nation s of France
and England as first liens. For the
men who engineered the gigantic deal,
the interest rate will -be higher, for
they buy at 50 less than the general
lpublie.
Inasmuch as there were no restric-
| tions as to purchases of American
munitions, it was assumed here that
goodly sum out of the $500,000,00O will
go to swell the profits of American
munitions concerns.
America as a whole will be given
chance to profit by the war, for the
bonds will be sold to small investors,
as well as to the big banks and bankers.
The bonds will be issued in denomina-
tions as low as 800 but for big bust
ness there will be larger blocks.
An advertising compaign to float the.
''baby" bonds-the 800 issues-may
soon be launched it was reported to-
day. Newspaper advertising is part of
the scheme to place these bonds witain
the reach and knowledge of the man
of moderate means.
The banks will circularize the coun-
try and posters will be distributed by
county correspondents to the cross
roads stores.
Arrangements will probably be made
to pay interest on the bonds at many
places outside of New York.

Manager Rowland of the White

on the bases during the present fight
for the American league pennant.- In
following out this idea he is bound to
lose a run or two now and then, but
he will also pick up few that would
not otherwise be acquired, and his
tactics will have the opposition wor-
ried continually.
Other teams will not know just
what to- expect from the White Sox
members. The diversified attack will
puzzle them and there will be no
stereotyped plays to count on. There
seems to be more and better think
ing on the part of the athletes than
