Battering German Defenses.


 London, Sept. 2s, los p. m.-The French are now battering the second line of German defenses in Cham pagne, while the British to the north, apparently have been able to crush all German counter attacks. So far aS can be ascertained, the situation on the western front as created by the allied offensive or Saturday and Sunday is about where it was The diversion initiated by the German, Grown Prince in the Argonne at some places reached the first French line, but nowhere did the Germans break through.
 ~ While German prisoners are sar-, irving in France by the train load. British wounded from Flanders are beginning to reach London. All have the same story to tell. They describe the terrific bombardment of the al- lies, before which it seemed impossi- bls that any one could survive. and then the sudden s1ackening of the fire and the British charge.
 How it happened that so many un- wounded Germans were captured is puzzling the public.

more acres which are a part of the
sixteen state institutions III charge Of
the board Of control, and it is made
up Of some of the most productive
land in the state. The tillers of this
vast acreage were the states wards
confined in the institutions, and the
principal market Tor their labors the
institutions themselves.
To make the institutions of the
state as nearly self-supporting as pos
sible has always been the aim Of those
in charge, and while in measure its
full realization is not possible, efforts
to bring it about in part have been
attended with considerable success.
How these institution farms have
produced and the value of the pro-
duets, all Of which represent the labor
of the men, women and children con-
fined in each, is shown in the follow
ing table covering institution farm
activities for the past three years:

Getting BETTER

after any sickness is critical
period, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness;
the resistive powers of the body
are weakened and cannot repulse
the disease germs. This is why
a relapse is so often fatal.
The first thing many physicians
do after the fever subsidies is to
prescribe the pure, rich SCOTS
Emulsion after meals. Its cod
liver oil enriches the blood and
strengthens the lungs; its hypo-
phosphites aid the appetite. It
is a pure, strengthing tonic, free
from alcohol or harmful drugs.
At your drug store. Avoid
substitutes.

by the asylum dairy amounted to over
$4,000 gallons, butter 1,400 pounds,
eggs 75l dozen, and noultry 262
pounds. Like the Anoka institution
all the feed needed for the stock was
raised. Fresh meat for the inmates
was also supplied.
Tn land area at the Fergus Falls
~ane hospital is 1915 acres, but only
a part OF 1t is under cultivation. AS
noted those in charge last year raised
produce and live stock valued at neq~-
V $1,000. All of it was consumed
by the institution inmates and help.
Here the milk alone totaled $50. 240
gallons. Nearly $4,000 pounds of rhu-
barb were raised. This institution
has it's own slaughter house.
A feature Of the farm in connection
with the school for the Feeble Mind
ed at Faribault is the stock. It is all
high bred and aids materially in keep
ing down the cost Of needed meat sup
plies. Last year over 1900 pounds Of
poultry were produced, nearly $4,000
pounds Of pork, and 873 pounds Of
veal. The farm produced considera-
bic in excess Of the needs Of the in
stitution and it was sold at profit.
Though comparatively new insti-
tuition and with the labor employed
entirely women, the value Of the farm
products at the Home School for Girls
at Sank Centre last year was in excess
OF $4,000. A great variety of green
stuff was raised, all Of which figured
On the institution tables. The girls
even cut six cords of wood and rails
ed 1864 worth of pork.
The land area Of all the state insti-
tutions is little over 5000 acres, but
only a part of it is farmed. The bal
ance is taken up with buildings and
recreation grounds. However, at a
number Of the institutions adjoining
farm land is under lease and adds ma
terially to the upkeep. At the same
time this farm work provides a
h""l+hv line of employment for the
inmates.

While the trades are taught in a
majority Of the institutions, especially
where the young and those charged
with infractions Of the laws of So
ciety are confined, a knowledge Of
the soil and how to make it produce
stands first. In the hospitals and
asyiums for the insane farming is the
chief occupation, for the very good
reason that it provides line Of en-
ployment that is the only +hiro posi-
bic in such an institution. Not OILY
is profit secured, but the work is of
nature that aids materially in the
way Of cure.
Showing the diversity of the farm
products grown, the farm attached to
the Anoka insane asylum last year
produced nearly so different varieties
of food stuffs. A small amount which
represented excess was sold, but the
most Of the stuff produced figured on
the tables of the inmates. Ice was
even harvested to the extent Of 1000
tons, valued at $500. Nearly 10000
bushels Of cabbages were raised last
year, also nearly 1000 dozen Of green
corn, a large number of water and
musk melons, 108 bushels Of cucum-
bers. 255 bushels of tomatoes, 145
quarts of Strawberries and l1S quarts
Of raspberries. Nearly 1900 gallons
Of milk were produced, 35S dozen Of
eggs, over 1000 pounds of fresh pork
and nearly 5000 POUNDS of veal. Suf-
fcient feed was raised to care for the
institution stock. The Anoka asylum
grounds are about 6S1 acres in ex-
tent, but less than one-half If it is
given over to farming, yet as stated
in the table given the total value Of
what it produced last year was in ex-
cess Of $4,000.
At the Hastings Asylum farm last

UPHELD IN RIGGS BANK SUIT
Treasury Officials Eulogized While
Practices Of Institution Officers
Are Denounced.

Washington, May 20.-Denunciation
Of the financial practices of officers
of the Riggs National bank, and Gu
logy Of the "ardor and enthusiasm"
of Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller
Of the Currency Williams, character
lied the argument of Samuel Inter
meyer, counsel for the treasury off,

ton to dismiss the Temporary injunc-
don sued out BY the bank against the
government officials.
Mr.. Untermeyer occupied the entire
day in court. Final argument against
the motion to dismiss will be made
shortly by former Senator Bailey.
In argument, Mr.. Untermeyer as
serted difficulties between the bank
and the treasury officials, which cui-
minated In this suit, were due not
to the arbitrary use of power by the
comptroller, but to reforms Instituted
by Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller
Williams which abolished illicit IA
vors" the bank had enjoyed in the
past, and aroused the resentment of
the banks officers.

for the payment Of $1,l40, the balance
due Brown & Batters on the contract
for building mile of road on state
road No. 2, north of this city, the Or
der has been held up. At the time his
reason for not signing was not under
stood but later it was learned that it
was because the certificate of accept
ance had not been fled. Under a new
law the work is inspected by the coun-
ty commissioners instead Of by the
state highway commission and the
board must file a certificate of accept
lance with the county auditor before
the order can be given the contractor.

AOAuOu, way AV.-1 NC lOIuldIlOu OF
q non-partisan cabinet for the period
Of the war is an established fact. The
spokesman for the two great rival par.
ties, Premier Asquith and Andrew
Bonar Law, made statements to the
house of commons confirming the re-
ports of coalition ministry which
several newspapers launched.
The prime minister said that moth
ing had been definitely arranged, but
three things we're certain-that the
prime minister and the foreign secre-
tary will continue in Office; that no
change is contemplated In the policy
Of the country of prosecuting the war
with all energy and that the recon
struction of the cabinet will not mean
any surrender by persons or parties Of
their political purposes.
To Finish War.
Andrew Bonar Law, in indorsing
this statement said: "Our sole con.
sideration is what will be best for
finishing the war successfully"
Not for many years has a political
transformation so overwhelmed the
country with surprises. Only week
ago Premier AsQuith said in the house
of COMMONS that there was no thought
Of a. reconstruction Of the ministry.
The rapid pressure Of events both
abroad and at home has driven the
government to : change of heart and
brought together the "elder states
men" to deal with q situation charg-
ed with critical elements. The events
abroad have been the severe reverses
of the Russian armies, which may be
followed by more powerful German
opposition to the allies line in
France and Belgium and the slow
progress of the operations against the
Turks, whose campaign is being con-
Quoted largely by German officers.
The events at home have been the
frictions between Winston Spencer
Churchill and Lord Fisher in the ad-
miralty which one writer describes az
the nerve center of the nation and the
attacks upon both the war Office and
the workingmen for their alleged
failure to supply the army with suffi-
cient ammunition.
Parliament has adjourned until
June 3. Before its next meeting, the
new cabinet will be formed and the
first act of the cabinet will be to chal-
lenge a vote Of confidence from the
house Of commons to demonstrate it's
position az representing the whole
house.
The Liberal members held q meet
ing and expressed confidence in Pre-
mier Asquith, who explained the gov
ernment's position to them. The
Conservatives also held q party coun.

hours in summing up the case of the

address he asserted that the action
brought by the former chairman of the

"purposed act Of tho machine to de-
Dtroy Colonel Roosevelt's usefulness"
Mr.. Bowers used up much more time
than had been allotted him. For that
