 Only a comparatively small number suggested the advisability of going be- hind the counters in stores, although this obviously is the easiest work to learn and the employment of women would release large numbers of men who are working as clerks. No re- turns have been made yet regarding the willingness of women to work on farms.
 An official of the labor exchange said 1t probably would be found ad- visable to shift women from one po- sition to another in order to find the post for which they are best quail fled and sift out those capable of do- ing armament work, or entering other skilled trades.

RUSSIAN TROOPS HAVE
 OCCUPIED MEMEL
German Garrison Had Retired With
 out a Conflict.

Petrograd, March 21, 2 p. m., via by the Russians after an impetuous charge and much street fighting is regarded generally as important be- cause of it's moral effect and it seems to prove that the Germans when con- centrating upon any point are com pelled to leave other portions of their frontier open to penetration. The forces engaged on either side in the Memel operations were not large and it's strategic importance to. the Rus sians is small, since the city is iso- lated by a swampy territory along the Niemen unfitted for operations on a large scale.
 The retreat of the German garrison from Memel is endangered by an- other Russian column advancing from Tauroggen towards Tilsit which ap- pears likely to cut off the Germans progress southward. This Russian column seems to have for it's objec- tive new attempt upon Tilstt.
 Of more importance than the occu- patton of Meme1 is the Russian ac- tivity on the left bank of the Niemen, where the net results Of recent en- agreements has been to clear German invadersf rom Russian territory from the region of Seiny to Kopsiovo on the Grodno- Suwalh road. The last two days nave seen the GermanS forced back 20 miles to the west from the Niemen
 Activity in the vicinity of the Narew continues and an important engage ment occurred yesterday ten miles south of Myszyniec on the road to Ostrolenka- Here the Germans un- dertook an attack inu three columns from the Myszyniec side. but the as- sault ended in a definite defeat for them.
 The German bombardment of Osso- wetz is continued much longer than was expected by the Russian military authorities. Today's report indicates that the artillery duel still is in pro- gross, but it is said that the German fire is losing force.
 On a recent sortie from Przenysl the garrison opened the heaviest and most continuous artillery fire which has been waged since the siebe be- gan. Twenty thousand shells are said to have been fired in 24 hours. The Russians believe the defenders of the fortress have decided to exhaust their stock of ammunition rather than risk its capture by the Russians should the forces fail. The attempt of an Austrian force to break through from the Carpathian front to the relief of Pryemysl in connection with this sor- tie is reported to have failed.

Special to Times Republican.
Gresae, July 1.-THE cold wet
weather which we have had in this
vicinity this season has hlndered the
growth OF the corn crop greatly.
Some of the corn was planted before
the rains commenced, and nearly every
piece Of corn which was planted be-
fore the 18th Of May had TO be re-
planted.
Since that time there ms been an
unusual amount Of rain and the wealth
er has been very cold until the past
week. SO that corn that was on wet
land iaG no chance to grow much.
Since the warm days have come,
however, the corn is growing rapidly,
and there are fields with corn any
height from four inches to three feet.
The majority OF the corn would aver
age from twelve to fourteen inches.
and some fields on good dry ground
have corn about three feet nigh.
Corn is at least two weeks later here
than 1t usually Is at this time of year,
but it is thought that if We have the
right kind Of weather for the next
two months there will be considera BILE
corn, altho the crop will be consider
ably below the average.
The oat crop Will be only fair, as
the rain has hurt the oats also. There
are some very good fields Of oats
while ether fields are very short, and
rather light.
There is very good crop of hay and
an abundance Of feed in the pastures
Some in this vicinity have started to
cut their hay.
