Der Of forts and barricades. We took
some of these, but others stopped us.
One hundred and fifty men,, surprised
In their holes by the furious charge Of
the French infantry, fell into our
hands,"
The first stage Of the attack was a
triumph. Then followed a hand to
hand struggle matched in history only
by the combats waged by the Roman
legions and the soldiers of Alexander.
Foot by foot the French zouaves, the
first to enter the labyrinth" fought
their way, hurting hand grenades at
unseen foes, dashing into earth trench
es and bayoneting the Germans, trap
ped in their own devices, falling by the
score when a wall of fame from hid
den machine guns met them at the
turn Of a communicating trench.

on this ground, full Of big holes and
piled with dead. The combat never
ceased, either day or night The at
lacking elements, constantly renewed,
crushed the Germans with hand gren-
AIDES and demolished their earth barri-
cades. There was not an hour Of truce
or an instant Of repose. The men were
under a sun so hot In the trenches
that they fought bareheaded and in
their shirt sleeves.
Finally, on May II, eighteen days
after the assault began, the French
won their way to the northern end of
the Labyrinth" with only a small
space between them and the first Ger
man line north of the position and be-
hind them only n German line un-
taken. The latter held out for two
more days. Then the French were able
to say that the '1mpregnable" position
had been captured.
Life Of French Soldier.
Life of the French soldier is told in
terestingly by a correspondent on the
French battle front. He writes:
Soldiers at the front have given up
betting, specializing OF prophesying as
to the date the war will end. Last
winter the end of May was the great
est ~favorite. Next came July IA for a
peaceful yet victorious national cele-
bration, and the beginning of August

Newspapers are still eagerly read.
but the French press has lost its hold
over the French soldier. "The Cos
sacks at Five Marches From Berlin"
a heading that appeared in September,
Is remembered in the army with dis
dain, even If forgotten by the public.
Semi-oficial announcement of Ger
man shortage Of shells is not forgiven
by those who daily receive a very fair
and what they think sufficient dose of
them. When the men are ordered to
the cellars and shelters they never
speak of bombardment, but always re-
mark. "They are short of Shells" Ev-
.rybody knows what Is meant.
The usual cheap stereotyped phrases
about "our heroic soldiers" are resent
ed, and men are fed up" with nonsen-
steal, fabricated accounts and portraits
Of ourselves and our dolngs. There is
really no truth in the pictures drawn
by journalistic grocers to please Paris
ian concierges. The French soldier at
the front is totally different from, in

pitcher than Alexander before the close
of the present season. While Alexan-
der is going better than ever in his
career, James has been Of little use to
the Braves, and this is the main rea-
son why Stallings' team is so far down
In the race.
Several times James has shown
flashes of his 1914 form, but just when
great things were expected Of him the
big spitballer's arm has gone back on
him. James case is very similar to
that of George Chalmers, and he will
probably come around In good shape,
but will hardly be Of much use to the
Braves for the rest of the season IN
less his arm suddenly responds to
treatment.

Did Advertising Pay the
 Chautauqua

The Chautauqua - Brinkley's first-is over and it is a pleasure to note that those gentlemen who guaranteed the several hundred dollars, will not lose very much even if anything on their guarantee. It is notice able fact, pleasing of course to the newspaper man, that the very attraction that was adver- tised most thoroughly by Man. ager eid-Friday-is the very one that drew the greatest crowd and paid the most.
 This attraction was not the highest price but the manage ment spent twice as much for advertising it as any other and received more than double the the cash receipts.
 There are those who imagine that money spent in advertising is a foolish waste but in practl- cally every instance just as in the one above mentioned 1t IS always proven that the foolish ness is always in trying to dc without advertising.
 Publicity is an art and a science within itself and the kind that gets real results always costs money but the cost is nothing to consider for 8 moment if the results are worth accomplishing.

together spirit will bear wonder full fruit.
 Times and conditions are diff erent to what they used to be- we have new methods in every line and in no work is this more noticeable than in the schools. Why up in Gary, Ill.,, they have the distinction of the greatest schools of the world. A few months ago saw one advanced class in that school teaching four other immense classes ot the school, table manners. They were eating the noon meal that had been prepared in the school kitchen, where every girl of the school was being taught the science of cooking and dieties. Do you know that outside of the city of Brinkley most women don't know how to cook (with g guilty twinkle in his eyes.) lt's a sin to have a disease and ye1 a failure to know how to live right brings the disease. We are moving fast and the things have named are only a few oi the many tending to show the necessity of all joining in the march of progress which is abso' lutely essential for the growth and development of city"

 The fact that there has been raised more acres of wheat, corn. oats, sweet potatoes. irish potatoes, cantaloupes, water melons. peanuts, hay, etc, than ever before in the history of Monroe county, is well known to everyone who has been thru the county.

 We, the undersigned hereby call a meeting oee the farmers and business men of Monroe, St. Frances, Woodruff and Lee Counties, to be held at the Hotel Rusher, at Brinkley on June 18th, 1915, at HOO a. m., for the purpose of devising ways and means for marketing sur- plus crops of grain, irish and sweet potatoes, peanuts and other diversified farming pro- ducts. As from present prospects there will be a surplus of these crops for sale this fall and some of them are ready for the market now. Farm Demonstrator, Geo. B. Hebron, has made a tour of of the county since the recent
