 SUNK BY GERMANS
IT IS THE BELIEF THAT KAISER PLANS SYSTEMATIC RAID ON
 BRITISH SHIPPING.

London.-The British steamer Dur ward, Reuter- dispatch from Rotter- dam says, has been torpedoed by a German submarine. The crew was saved.
 The Durward was vessel of 1900 tons, built at Glasgow in 1895 and owned by G. Gibson & Go. of Leith, Scotland
 The Durward was bound from Leith for Rotterdam and was struck by the torpedo, according to tfe Reuter- core spondent, while 22 miles off the Maas lightship. The crew took to the boats and reached the lightship from which Dutch pilot boat conveyed them to Rotterdam.
 News dispatches referring to the situation in Poland set forth that north of the Vistula, in the vicinity Of L1pno, Russian advance guards are within 20 miles of the German froE- tier, while to, the northwest the Ger mans have evacuated Skempe, which is about 25 miles from the Prussian border and due southeast of Thorn.
 If the Russians follow up their sue. cess at Skempe and continue their forward movement, it will give them an unbroken front, in the opinion Of British observers, dangerously near German territory.

WANTED A PERMANENT BOND
Mite of Seven Years Had Worked Out Solution of Problem to His
 Satisfaction.

He is the merest mite, only seven, and his widowed mother was married the other day for the second time to "daddy"-a really very nice person who had long been fast friends with the stepson- and had no idea of being an interloper.
 There are problems to be figured out even when you are seven.
 Mother" asked the mite, "who are you going to marry when daddy dies ?"
 "Why, my dear" she replied, what a curious question"
 Well" responded the mite, when father died you married daddie-and now, when daddy dies, I know just who I want you to marry"
 Why, my little son!' exclaimed the perplexed mother. "You shouldn't speak like that. Daddy isn't going to die"
 "Yes, mother, I know, but he might die. Then, if he ever does, mother, want you to promise me that you'll marry me-'cause then-then, you see we would never have to be sepa- rated"
 Thus, even at seven, does a heart know it's own sorrow.

SOIL EROSION IN THE SOUTH
Other Crops Must Be Grown Than Those Requiring Clean Culture,
 as Do Cotton and Tobacco

The following statement regarding the annual report of the bureau of soils of the department:
 "In study of soil erosion in the South 1t has been found that large areas are lost to agriculture annually through erosion. In some states vast areas, amounting to as much as 50 per cent of the arable land of these sections, have been abandoned. The character of the erosion varies with the type of soil. Usually, on the heavy clay soils, Sheet" or surface erosion is found. With increasing proportion of sand in the soil the ero- sion changes to the "shoestring" type, then to the gully type, with rounded ed and finally to the gullies with cay Ing sides. he most rapid erosion seems to occur in soils having layer of silt or clay at the surface and substratum of sand. This condition usually leads to erosion of the deep gully type, which is difficult to check and unprofitable to reclaim.
 All methods for prevention and control are based either on increasing the capacity for absorbing the water as it falls, or on decreasing the veloc- ity of the run-off. A new method in use in one locality is the construction Of what are known as 'christophers,' the distinctive feature of this plan ly- ing in the manner of disposing of storm waters. Across an incipient gully is built dam, through which is passed sewer pipe connected with an upright pipe on the upper side of the dam. Water fills the valley until 1t reaches the top of the upright pipe, and then flows down this pipe in the next field. The water left standing below the mouth of the upright pipe is gradually removed by tile drain. It is also demonstrated in the South that other crops must be grown than those requiring clean culture, as do cotton. corn and tobacco"

GERMANS SHOWING
 RENEWED ACTIVITY
SMALL GAINS ARE REPORTED - BOTH SIDES ATTACK Vl-
 GOROUSLY.
ATTACK MADE ON DUNKiRk
No Confirmation From Official Sources of the Reported Visit of
 the Allies.

London.-Although official descrip- tions of fighting on the western front continue to be brief, there is evidence that it is growing tiercer at many points. The Germans are showing re- newed activity in the neighborhood of YPres and heavy bombardments of the left wing ot the allies are almost ipcessant.
 From the center eastward, however, the battles are most bitter. In the Ar eonne, around Verdun and in Alsace, heavy engagements are in progress, apparently without any decision hay ing been reached But these are mere ly local affairs compared to what is eX- peeted when the ground becomes more suitable for moving troops
 Along the Belgian coast every move of the Germans is the signal for a re- neWed Commandment by the British ships, while the aviators of both forces ire continually dropping bombs behind tue lines.
 Dunkirk has been separated out for a German air attack, doubtless be- cause it is being used by the British as base of supplies from England, while Ostend, Bruges and Zeebrugge are receiving attention from the allies for similar reason. There is no con- firmation from official sources of the reported visit of the allies airmen to Essen and Dusseldorf early in the week

THREE REASONS Each With Two Leaa and Ten Fingers.

A Boston woman who is fond moth CT writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys.
 Among other things she says: Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack, and Dick, respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape Nuts since infancy, and often between meals when other children would have been given candy.
 Il gave package of Grape-Nuts to a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was weazened little thing, i'll half the time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and cream greedily and the mother continued the good work, and it was not long before truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child's face and body. The results were re- markable, even for Grape-Nuts.
 Both husband and use Grape Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can find in a days march"
 Many mothers instead of destroying the children's stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a hand ful of Grape-Nuts when they are beg ging for something in the way ot sweets. The result is soon shown ir greatly increased health, strength and mental activity.

FEED THE DAIRY COWS WELL
cottonseed Meal Is Convenient Feed in Texas and Oklahoma to Bal
 ance Sorghum and Siiage.
(By H. NJ. COTTRELL.)

(By ii. M. COIIRELI.)
 Native pasture and silage should be available summer and winter The silage should be fed generously at any time of the year when the grass is not sufficient to secure high yield of milk. In dry times during the summer and at all times during the winter, sorghum, hay and the hay from either alfalfa, sweet clover or Span ish peanuts should be fed literally. Rye pasture usually can be provided and it makes a good winter feed. In favorable years wheat pasture may furnish nearly all the feed needed for high yield during the winter. Five good cows fed all they will eat will yield more profit than 15 half starved
 The daily ration must be balanced between the starchy, heat-making feeds, like silage, sorghum hay, corn fodder and millet, and the blood-and- muscle-making feeds like alfalfa, sweet clover and Spanish peanut hays. Every COW yields a good flow of milk on green, luscious grass. The grass furnishes about three and a half parts of the starchy to one of the blood d-and-muscle-mak material. Dry
