GERMAN LOSSES

English DemoIish Teutonic Lines In Big
Battle Raging Near HueVe
ChappeIIe
BELGIANS MAKE PROGRSSE
Germans Bombarded Ypres, scissors
and Rhems-French Claim Sue
cesses In Champagne

London.-The British people are
much encouraged by the victory oil
their troops at Neuve Chapelle and
the defeat of the Germans in their
effort to recover ground gained by the
British on the preceding days.
According to a report issued by the
war office, the Germans delivered sew
eral minor attacks and heavy one
which were all repulsed. The total
number of prisoners taken in three
days was 1920, while it is estimated
that the total German losses were not
far short of 10000.
British airmen have been active
again and have destroyed a train at
Don, near Lille.
The Belgian army continues to gain
little ground at the bend of the
river User, and in Champagne, the
Argonne and the Vosges there has
been fighting. The Germans again
have bombarded Ypres, scissors and
Rheims. In the latter two towns the
cathedrals have suffered.
The French have occupied Emberme-
NIL on the railway midway between
Luneville and Rixengen, on the bor-
der of Lorraine.
Some idea Of the stubbornness of the
western battles, which receives only a
few words in the daily official reports,
can be gathered from the French ac-
count of the capture of the village of
Vauquois, on the eastern border of the
Argonne forest For days the French
and Germans contended for this vii
lage, the Importance of which from a
technical point of view, is great, and
the losses on both sides must have
been much more numerous than in
any of the historic battles.
News from the east continues to be
scant
The German and Russian armies
concentrating for a big battle around
Przasnysz apparently had not yet
come into touch. The fighting thus
far reported has hardly been more
than an affair of outposts.

SOME UNUSUAL THINGS
!. WELL WORTH KNOWING
Items Clipped From U. S.
Geological Survey
Bulletin.

The following unusual items of in
formation clipped from the United
States Geological Survey Bulletins
will be of interest to the curious read
ers Of this paper:
the oceans would cover all the land
areas of the globe to depth of 29O
| feet.
The amount of coal mined in the
United States in 1918, according to
figures compiled by the United States
Geological Survey, was greater by
S0,000,00O tons than the total which
had been mined Up to the close of the
year 1871.
A cubic mile of river water weighs
approximately 4,205, 100000 tons and
carries in solution, on the average,
about 100000 tons of foreign matter.
In all, about 2,735, 100000 tons of solid
substances are thus carried annually
to the ocean.
The United States is by far the
largest copper producer in the world;
in fact, we produce more than all the
rest of the world together. The
growth of the copper industry in the
United States has been notable, ac-
cording to figures compiled by the
United States Geological Survey. In
1916 the production was 224,000
pounds; in 1918 it was 1924 S4098
pounds. The total production of the
United States from 1850 to 1913 was
1887, 476,910 pounds.
An interesting exhibit which is be-
ing shown by the United States Geo
logical Survey at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition, in San Francisco, is the
illustration of the development of the
surface features of the United States
and adjoining Landslide gradual rise
of the continent from the primal
ocean and the accompanying develop
ment of life-a pictorial story of pro-
gress from the early fish and the huge
half-reptile creatures known as SAL
rians to the higher mammals such as
the great saber-tooth tiger and the
giant hyena.

Getting Chubb's Goat"

The fact that Col. Davis was ap-
pointed to succeed Col Henry s.
Chubb as Register of the Land Office
was consummation of an incident
of ocular nature which occurred
more than thirty-two years ago;
"IIl get that fellows goat yeti"
These words were spoken by the
present Register back in the early
eighties, while he was one of an au-
dience attending a political rally at
Green Cove Springs, the capital of
CLAW County, and listening to Col.
Chubb, then in his twenty
year. deliver a fred hot" speech, dur
ing which he fayed the Democratic
party in general. Col. Chubb was
at the time, the Republican nominee
for member of the House of Repre-
sentatives from Clay County, and the
manner in which he event after" the
Democrats caused Col. Davis, who
was in the fore ranks Of those fight

the phrase which prefaces this para

age and ability to express his con-

And Col. Davis declaration came
true when Col. Chubb turned over to
him, on January 10th, the records OF
the land office.
Each of the gentlemen, however,

been at the head of the Republican
party in Florida, was in power for
more than twelve years to name all
persons subject to Federal appoint

distinction as long as he lives, when
the administration is directed by those
of his political doctrine.
Col. Davis, in addition to serving his
people in minor caacities, was Rep
in Congress from the Sec

finally declining to be candidate for
reelection.
This was in 1904, but when Presi-

he had been connected for more than

Putnam County-what's the reason
it has not been able to keep pace with
its neighbors and maintain suprema
cy?
Do they know that the greatest ag.
ricultural discovery of the decade is
that progress is not an individual
matter but community matter? The
eternal truths of Holy Writ that "nc
man liveth to himself" and that the
surest way to help yourself is to helr
your neighbor, must take firm hold Of
a community if there is progress. The
town and country must work together
there must be cooperation. But
there can be no cooperation where
men of community think as little OF

as they do of addressing an acquaint.

chances in the world are open to us
The pathways to success are oiled in

uncertain trails of the past. There
are guide boards now at every cor
ner, and yet some men throw mud at
them.
Are the boys and girls being equip

can make a living?-which in the
end, is the real secret of practical
training for intelligent citizenship.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, than whom
there is no more helpful writer on
earth, divides men into two classes,
the Pushers and the Pullers. Modern
parlance calls them Boosters and
Knockers. The world however strug-
giles along despite those who pull back
down. The Boosters are now build
ing better than men ever built before.
They are helpful to their fellows;
possess the honor that enobles; the
justice that gives even the devil his
dues; the reasonableness that yields;
the generosity that disclaims mean
ness; the modesty that does not boast;
the dignity that brings respect; the
sympathy and charity that helps; the
that knows and feels. The
square man is just to himself, his
friends and even his enemies. There
are no limitations to moral growth.
When Joshua took command in Is

admonished him to "Be strong and of

the words of encouragement which
ends with "Only be thoroughly strong
and very courageous" And Joshua

at the end of life: "Not one word hath

THE AGE OF
THE JITNEY.

Jitney buses are the newest phase
of public convenience They are au-
tomobiles in which you can get five
cent ride, and have appeared in the
west and southwest with the sudden
ness of mushroom growths. Several
of the weeklies are describing them.
The New Reublic tells of the rapid
ity of their introduction in Kansas
City, where a local business man, re-
turning from a trip to Texas cities,
where they were in use, gave an in
terview to local paper. describing
them.
He had seen Fort Worth, Houston
and Dallas alive with jitneys that
were competing with the trolley COM
panies. He told how you got in at
the curb, how you disembarked with
out the danger of crossing street,
how traffic managers made up sched-
ules and assigned cars to the various
routes. The jitneys range from small
Fords to goOd-sized buses. And the
price of a ride was everywhere five
cents. The day after the appearance
of the Stars interview with Mr.. Park
er, there were three jitney lines
ready for business on Kansas City
streets. The chauffeurs improvised
signs and routes and time tables. On
the following day four more made
their appearance, and on the third
day there were II in all. A week
after the first jitney day Kansas
City had 100 jitneys, and traffic
manager who used to be traffic SUI
perintendent of the Missouri Pacific.
Four of the jitney chauffeurs are wo-
men. Somebody has estimated the
number of jitneys in use west of the
Mississippi as $500.

THE PRISON
HONOR SYSTEM.

The honor system in prisons does
violence to the traditional notion of
discipline. But it does not do vio-
lence to human psychology. Warden
lyman of the Colorado penitentiary
recently reported:
No convict con honor" has commit
ted crime or a misdemeanor. NO

Colorado cOnvicts support them

annually to the state. They have In
six years built 1856 miles of the finest
roads, principally through mountain
rock.
The convicts have rebuilt the peni-
Tertiary, erecting eight buildings OF
a value of 100000 at a cost to the
State of but $4,000. They have al
so brought to high degree of pro-
ductivity 100 acres of land that were

The honor system is permanently
assured. 1t stimulates the restora-
ton of men, and increases the mate

These wonderful results are not
confined to Colorado, where, by all
accounts. the convicts have been
much better behaved than the warning
capitalists and laborers. The honor
system is in use in several of the wes-
tern states, in New Jersey and Texas.

If wheat remains at its present
high figure or continues to rise in
price. and if there is a correspond
ing increase in the price of bread,
scientists in the department suggest
that the ordinary household will find
it advantageous to eat more potatoes
and less bread With potatoes at 60
cents bushel, 10 cents worth, or 10
pounds, will give the consumer lit
tie more actual nourishment than two
1-pound loaves of bread at 5 cents
each. The protein and fat are pres
ent in appreciably larger amounts in
the bread, but the potatoes will be
found to furnish more carbohydrates
and more heat units.
Carbohydrates (starch) contribute
greatly to the energy value Of any
diet, and since potatoes are rich in
these families that wish to expend
their money to the best advantage
are recommended to consider whether
they can not make a more extended
use of them. They are easy to cook
and when prepared in different ways
can be made to lend variety to the

hard to obtain. Like other foods rel
atively rich in carbohydrates, how
ever. potatoes should be eaten with
foods correspondingly rich in protein,
such as milk, meat, eggs, ETC., and
with foods like butter, cream, and
meat fat to supply the fat that the
body needs.
Under normal conditions in Europe
and America the potato ranks next
to bread as a carbohydrate food. If
prices change sufficiently to make it
desirable from a financial point of
view, there is no scientific reason
why potatoes should not be sIbsti-
tuted to a great extent for bread
in addition the potato, like many
fruits and vegetables, helps to neu-
tralize an acid condition in the body
This is another reason for its being
eaten in combination with meat, fish
and other animal foods.
