FIRE WITH BIG GUNS.
ON 0SSOW|EC CITY
Formidable Attack Begun by
Won Hindenburg's Army
Lying on the Bobr River.

PETROGRAD, March 3.-A
formidable bombardment of the
Polish city Of Ossowiec has been
commenced by Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's army lying on the
bohr river. According to semi
official advices, "the Germans are
expending a vast amount of shells
in the cannonade at Ossowiec il,
revenge for their defeat by the
Russians at Przasnysz."
Latest reports from the front
state that the German shells have
done little damage beyond digging
enormous holes in the ground. The
heaviest German mortars are being
used in the bombardment, it is re-
ported from Warsaw.
AUSTRIAN PLAN FAILS.
In the Carpathians the attempt OF the
Austrian forces to pierce the Russian
front near Lupkow. and thus relieve
Przemysl. has ended in failure. The
Austrians have suffered severe losses in
that region, and part Of the army has
been coSopelled to retire. Semi-official
information relative to operations in
Galicia says:
1.-The defeat Of the Austrian attacks
In the Carpathians was the result of
the inferior fighting quality of the Aus
trian troops The Austrians are in
capable Of attacking in open order and
have endeavored to break our lines by
advancing in solid masses, which were
moved down.
''In eastern Galicia the situation is
developing In accordance with our plans
and anticipations.
Gremans Still Retreating.
The German forces that were defeated
at Pryasnysz are still retreating. hotly
pursued by the Russian Cossacks. The
Russians are inlicting heavy losses
upon the German rear guard by cutting

The German TRANSPORTATION system
broke down frequently, despite the os-
tentations plans they had made. The
enemy lost more prisoners in the Przas.

ment on the Russian 4ront. The Ger
man defeat there probably will compel

the line. Already they are on the de-
fensive along most of the front.
The Russians are carrying on a vigor.

Russians were also successful in the
region OF Olty. but there are no changes
on the balance OF the front.

LONGING OF HOTEL CLERK
BY Roswell F. Conner
I long to be a farmer
And page the COWS at eve.
And sit beneath their udders.
And milk like Bill and Steve.
I would like to be a farmer
And help to room the stock.
I would like to see that they were reg
istered.
And check out at 5 o'clock.
If I could be a farmer
I'd have my hens all lay
The bricks for a warm henhouse
Then have eggs to give away.

SAFE FARMING" ALWAYS.
Outline of a Program Recommended
by Government Specialists to Sc
cure Safety in the Cotton Belt.

Washington, Nov. IA program of
Safe Farming" for the South is out
lined in circular which the United
States Department of Agriculture has
sent to bankers, business men and
farmers in the cotton States. The his
tory of agriculture in the South, it
has been said, has been one of lean
years and fat years. Short crops and
high prices have almost Invariably
been followed by big crops and low
prices and, in consequence, the farmeA
has experienced much distress. The
increased attention which has recently
been given to supporting the people
upon the land has already resulted in
it is pointed out, that, with the price
of cotton rising, there will be a ten
dency for farmers to return to the old
system of gambling on cotton. If the
people of the South produced their
own living, the circular points out, it
would steady the whole system and
keep the boat from rocking. The safe
ty measures recommended are as fol-
lows:
First: Produce a home garden for
every family on the farm, the year
round, paying special attention to a
plot of Irish or sweet potatoes suf-
ficient to supply the family with food
of this character. Where feasible,
have patch of sorghum or other cane
to produce syrup for the family. &
Second: Produce the corn necessary
to support all of the people on ting
farm and the live stock, with -abseltUe'
safety.
Third: Produce the necessary other
small grain to supplement the corn as
food. Pay attention to winter graz
ing.
Fourth: Produce hay and forage
from some forage crop, sufficient to
supply all of the live stock on the
farm. Use legumes such as clover,
cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and
alfalfa for the production of hay and
to enrich the soil with nitrogen and
humus.
Fifth: Produce the meat necessary
to supply the people, through in
creased attention to poultry and hogs,
especially. Plan to increase gradually
the number of cattle and other live
stock so as to have a sufficient num-
Der to consume the waste products of
the farm and make the waste lands
productive.
Sixth. After all of these things
have been amply provided for, produce
cotton for the market.

NICHOLS WILL

IN SYMPATHY WITH PRESI-

Offers SuggestiOns-Fourth District
Congressman Was for Years Cap

Spartanburg, Nov. Sam j.
Nichols, representative in congress
from the Fourth South Carolina dis
trict, is heartily in sympathy with

Representative Nichols was for years

Guard of South Carolina and has long
been interested in military affairs.

National Guard in time of war;" says

largely due to the fact that it is hard
to get the men to turn out to drills
and take the proper interest in mill
tary affairs. There is no lack, OF
course, in the fighting spirit in the
National Guard and it has, been my
observation that whenever called upon
they have rendered splendid service
in riots, ETC., but they are certainly
not up to standard in knowledge of
military affairs.
"My idea would be to require the
National Guard in all the States to
drill at least once a week and to pay
amount, basing this payment upon the
amount paid to the regular army and
letting the officers receive their pro
rata share just as the privates do. In
addition to this, the government
should furnish adequate accommoda-
tions for each company, and equip
these afmories so as to make it pleas
ant for the men to take an interest
in their work. In other words, my
idea is to bring the National Guard
in close touch with the regular army
and to let the continental army vir-
tually take the place of the National
Guard. AS it now stands, 1 believe
that the two months plan for the
continental army is good idea, but it
would be unjust for man to have to
give this time to the service unless he
was paid for his time, for grea.
many men who have the interest of
the service at heart and who would
make splendid soldiers, can not af-
ford to lose time without pay.

should have adequate defense based
upon reasonable compensation. AS
have above stated, with these sug-
gestions l am in thorough sympathy
with the president in the proposition"
