 Bentley a Busy Man.

Thos. J. Bentley, county demon strator, stated this morning the farmers in the Halliday vicinity yesterday loaded a car with sun flower seed, the second car filled during the past ten days. The ship ment was consigned to a seed house in Kansas City. MT. Bentley says the farmers are receiving good prices for the seed and that the success of this branch of farming industry will beyond doubt result in a largely increased acreage next year.
 The county agent has been ex- ceeding busy this week. In addi- tion to assisting the farmers near Halliday with their sunflower seed shipments, he answered calls from the eastern section of the county for administering anti-cholera serum to hogs. MT. Bentley vaccinated twenty-five head for Hurt Hays and H. L. Porter.

MARKET
 SHOWS STRENGTH
Damage by Wind and Storm Causes Price to Recover from Slump
 Sustained Yesterday.

The heavy liquidations on the cotton market yesterday, causing a slump of more than two dollars bale, have been to some extent off, set by the damage done the crop in the gulf states by the wind and rain yesterday. The storm not only caused positive loss in the yield but it temporarily put stop to picking and marketing, and with this shortage in the supply the market regained some of the lost ground sustained yesterday. To- day cotton is selling in Paragould at 425 to 450. New York quota tions were as follows at the close of the exchange:
 October, today, 11.S2; yester- days close, 11.60.
 December, today, 12.16; yester- days close, 11.97.
 January, today, 12.31; yester- days close, 12.15..
 March, today, 12.59; yesterdays close, 12.35.

Paris, Sept. 30.-(Special to The Press. )-Fighting of the most des- perate character continues along that part of the battlefield extend ing from Loos to Hill 40, which was captured yesterday by French forces, assisted by English battal- ions. Around a six mile trail run ming slightly southwest from Sou- chez, British and French commands are rolling in ceaseless volume against German positions, piercing the defenses in some places, taking first and second lines, retreating in the face of merciless machine gun fire and shrapneI, only to reorgan- ize and charge again and again against what was formerly consid- cred an impregnable wall of steel. Extending to Lens, in the Vimy Heights, this determined assault goes on. From La Bassee to a point two or three miles east of Arras the allies still hold doggedly to positions taken Sunday and Mon- day. Hill 70 marks the most ad
 vanced positions taken, German lines at this point being bent al- most in the form of a horseshoe, but still unbroken. West of Tahure in the Champagne region several

minimized. Around Loos, extend. ing to Ypres, however, German forces defeated both wings of Brit ish attacking forces. Severe bat. ties are in progress north of Loos where German counter attacks are proceeding slowly. French forces have penetrated two sections of the German lines southeast of Souche2 in the vicinity of Hill 140, also French south of St. Marie in the western Champagne district. Ger man troops, however, have succeed ed in bringing these attacks to a stop and have, it is believed, de stroyed their full force. Along a wide front in the Argonne forests French attacks have been repulsed with fearful loss of life.
 The serious aspect of these en agreements is reflected in German newspapers. Warning to the public interprets the offensive to mean g crisis in western operations, where for nearly year the armies have been deadlocked. The outcome is still doubtful, with the allies, ap- parently, preparing to reorganize their resources for a continuation of the offensive.

FOOTBALL GAME
 HERE ON FRIDAY
Blytheville High School Eleven Will Meet Local Squad in Initial
 Contest of the Season.

The first match football game of the season will be played Friday afternoon at the West Side school grounds between teams representing the Paragould and Blytheville high schools. Blytheville comes reputed to be very strong again this year, although their star of last years team, Shelby, is not with them this year. Shelby is attending Wander bilt university, where, from news paper dope, he is sure of a berth on the varsity team. Blytheville, however, with this exception, has practically it's last years team 1n- tact. Last year in the first game of the season they held the locals to a scoreless tie, and later trounc- ed them in Blytheville to the tune of 60. The local boys are prac- |, ticing at every opportunity and promise lovers of the college game a good exhibition of the open style of play so much in vogue among the eastern teams this year-a style of play that is enjoyed much more by the average spectator than the mass and wedge playing of old. The game will be called at 2:15 promptly. The schoolboys are sell ing tickets on the streets today; the price of admission is 25c.
