along the whole $50 miles of trenches.
First we heard blast of bugles from
the German trenches. Then there
broke out the most terrific cannonad-
ing we had heard during the wlr.
Everything that the Germans could
shoot was shooting. Horns were
blowing; men were yelling and whist
ling; bombs were breaking in the air ::
the sky was white with the German
white lights; it was brighter than
Broadway. Far away cannon were
booming; their shells were breaking
behind our lines | never expect to
hear such a tumult again. 1t was ex-
hilarating
We ran for our guns, thinking that
it was all in preparation for a charge.
But no charge came; no bullets flew
around us; only artillery, shells fell
at a safe distance away
Alter ten minutes the noise die /
down and we could hear the Germans
shouting to us:
Happy New Year"
We'll celebrate in Paris next
year"
How was that for noise?"
But you're wrong we yelled
back. Its only II o'clock, and you
are celebrating an hour too early
'We go by Berlin time" they ans

Suddenly it dawned upon us that
Paris time is an hour later than Ger

We waited until II o'clock and then
began our celebration. 1t wasn't as
noisy as the Germans, must admit
Our white lights weren't as bright
But our artillery fired noisy shells
and what our rifle and machine gun
| fire lacked in noise. the shells that
came from miles behind us made up
for.
Our racket lasted ten minutes. We
didn't try to kill anybody, and, as far
as we could learn, nobody in our dis
trict was even wounded When oul
noise was ended we yelled to the
| Germans:
| "All Germany will be going by
Paris by the time we get to Ber.

CAP IS FINALLY PUf
 ON BIG GAS WELL
Alma, Crawford County, Is Scene of Activity as a Result of the DiscOvery.-Oil Men Flock ing to the Field.

Alma. Nov 20.-After resisting many attempts, the great gas we'll of the Clear Creek Oil and Gas Company has been capped and brought under control. The cap was placed this morning.
 The flow of this well has steadily increased until the lowest estimate by oil experts is 2O,OOO,OO0 feet, and many of them say 25,OOO,OO0 feet. Oil men from all parts of the country are flocking here, as the well is only three and one-half miles south of here, with maccadamized road running direct ly to it. Some of these oil men are buying property while others are look ing for leases.
 Considerable Alma property has changed hands. Dr. L. c. Bernays of Little Rock has bought Main street property and will erect a handsome business building at once. The state geologist went over the property of the Clear Creek Company with it's officers today, locating two more wells, which the company will begin drilling ! next week.
 It is expected a we'll will be located north of the present well, and near the Alma city limits. These wells are being located for oil. Gas was expect ed in the present well. The local postoffice is daily flooded with letters of inquiry from Maine to California from men desiring to buy or lease property. It is expected Alma's pop ulation will double or treble before l Christmas

SAVING THE CROPS AZ
 TER THEY ARE HARVESTED

Arkansas farmers have just finish ed gathering probably the largest crop in the history of the state, bulk considered. If the final figures show shortage in cotton, they also will show an increase in hay and grain The mild fall weather has prolonged | the growing season, especially for garden stuff and pastures, and has made it possible for the farmer to harvest clean his fields. The barns are full, the pantries are full and the hay stacks are bulging.
 Winter approaches now and bad weather may be expected. The farm CT who has worked hard to make his crops should see that they are safe guarded from the elements so that he may enjoy them. Feed stuffs should be stored, above all things, in a dry shelter and where they will be convenient for use. The potatoes of which there is splendid crop this year, should be housed where they will be safe from freezing and there should be protection for the stock, which is the motive power and meat and butter of the farm.
 Southern farmers often have been lectured to about the careless manner in which their cotton is stored through the winter. Millions of dollars have been lost each year through weather damage to this great staple. Cotton must not only be kept out of the rain and sun, but it must have a dry floor and be kept ghere it will not absorb moisture. The farmer who expects

c0vERNOR'S SON TO

preseut Secretary to Gov. Hays Will Retire December 1st-C. H. Moses, Monticello will be Asst. AttOrney-General.

vittle Rock. Nov. 22.-Harry w. Stewart will retire from the office < Gov. Hays on Dec. Land it is ru- ,,orod will be actively connected with ,he campaign of Dr. Brough. He says however. that he will soon announce ho nlans for the future. He will be succeeded as Private Secretary to the Governor by Grady Hays, the gover- nor's eldest son, and Vivian Church, of Camden, the governors nephew, will become stenographer in the office. At one time it was rumored that MT. Stewart was going into the office of Attorney General Davis, but this seems not to be the case. c. H. Moses of Monticello, who has been well known in state house circles for several years, will become Assistant Attorney General Jan. 1, succeeding John P Streepey, who will retire at that time. Homer Freeling of Har- rison will succeed Dinner Burnsides as stenographer in the office of the At torney general.
 Harry Stuart is one of the best in- formed clerical men connected with Arkansas politics, and has probably come into contact with more than any other. For a number of years he was private secretary to the late Senator Jeff Davis.

to gain cent or two a pound by hold ing cotton will lose more than he gains through deterioration in quality unless he is careful in providing a storage place. Cotton will easily lose from $500 to $500 a bale from ex- posture and the damage is not always apparent from the appearance of the bale. Never should the bales be al lowed to stand upon the ground.
 If Arkansas farmers can save and get the full benefit of the crops they have raised, 1915 will be recorded as one of the latest years in history. It can not be said that Providence has not favored the grower in the work of the harvest. Let us make the most of our good years and hope there will be more of them.
