FRENCH

Paris, Feb. 1.-The French war Office
this afternoon gave out an official re-
port on the progress of the war which
reads as follows:
The day of Jan. 81 was marked, as
had been January 80, by artillery fight
ing which was particularly spirited in
all the northern region.
ITO the southeast of Ypres the Ger
mans endeavored to attack our trench
es to the north but this movement
was checked by the combined efforts
of our artillery and infantry.
t'Along the entire Aisne front from
the junction of this river with the
Disc as far as Berry-Au-Bac, our bat
teries were successful at certain points
in demolishing trenches in course of
construction as well as shelters for
machine guns and in silencing several
mine throwers as well as certain ar
tiIlery detachment of the enemy.
From Champagne to the northeast
of Mesnil-Les-Huerles we perfected
our organization in a little forest of
which we took possession the day be-
fore yesterday.
ttJan. 81 was relatively calm in the
Argonne where the Germans seem to
have suffered heavily in the recent
fighting

CLUB
LIKELY TO REMAIN
IN PRESENT HOME
Subscriptions for Stock Not
Large Enough to Warrant
Lines Purchase
Especial to The Farmer.l

Stratford, Feb. Members Of the
Weatogue Golf club will meet to-
night to decide upon the purchase of
the Lines property with adjacent
lands for the erection of their new
club house. Though options have
been held for some time upon the
lands needed for the new site, it is
said that stock subscriptions for the
venture have not been widely tax
en- as was expected, with the proba-
BILE result that it will be determined
tonight that the options cannot be
taken up at this time.
The prevailing sentiment of mem
bers is for the new club, but unless
considerable money can be raised be
fore nightfal1, or the various prop
erty owners are willing to extend the
options taken the project is likely to
fall through at this time.
The club at present has a building
and links in Stratford under lease,
but were anxious to enlarge their
course and have the homestead on
the Lines property remode1led into
a more comfortable clubhouse.

why Farmers Buy Automobiles

An investigation by "Farm Life, -
covering seven counties in southwestern
Indiana, shows that twice as many
ears are being sold this year, as com
pared with last, and that about 70 per
cent of the machines going out this
season are being scld to farmers.
The investigation seems thorough
enough to establish basis for the
whole country. The licenses issued by
the State we're first considered, run
ming about 1000, against $4,000 for
the same date in 1914. The dealers
were interviewed, as well as more than
seven hundred farmers.
Farm Life declares that not only
are average farmers buying machines,
but that every fourth or ffth man in
terviewed, If ne had no ear, is planning
to buy one--this year or next-if his
crops and his live stock ventures turn
out according to his reasonable hopes.
Is this unusual investment in auto
mobiles by farmers sign of prosper

1t is attributed by "Farm Life"
largely to the decrease in the price of
