GERMANS ARE GATHERING
AT ALLIES' WEST LINES

Paris, April '2s.-The French war Of
flee this afternoon gave out an official
report reading:
in Belgium two German attacks
moving out from Paschendaele and
from Brodseinde were checked yester-
day by British troops. The enemy
thereupon bombarded Ypres with vio-
lence. Our activities are being contin-
ued along the User canal.
"At Notre Dame De Lorette we re-
pulsed a German attack.
"On the heights of the Mouse the
fighting Is developing. The attack on
the Calonne trench reported yesterday
was checked by our counter attack and
the enemy driven back. He subse-
quently made another attack further to
the east, in the direction of st. Remey,
evidently striving to recapture Les
Eparges.
"A violent attack preceded by a fierce
bombardment took place shortly after
this movement on the eastern slopes OF
the position at Les Eparges. but the
German attack resulted in failure"

We believe the parish to have
tho best Police Jury within our

upon their financial acumen-they
have placed Us in q financial stand
ing where their papers are looked
upon as legal tender by the peo-
pie. Their management Of the a.

dit aud does credit to the electors
which placed them there. We
know tho conditions OF tho roads
and with the mssns at hand We
pronounce them good. We wish
however, to call the attention OF
the Police Jury that our roads In
most instances are too narrow.
The building of . twenty four foot
road under engineering skill, and
with the best of material might be
advisable, but not dirt roads.
With our email mean no dirt road
should have q lesser width then
forty.five feet Until the parish
of st. Martin does away with it's
autsquatsd methods of working
the roads and employing one su-
psrintsndsut with . good salary
under engineering advise and su-
psrvision we cannot SEQ how per-
msnant road improvements can DO
made. We believe that the roads
should be drained, and then built
with the material at hand until
our financial condition warrants
US ir spending large sums for
foreign material, which necsssi-
tatss large appropriations to up
keep them.

1t is a great pity that girl
should ever think of marriage as
a refuge, a means of support or
as the main object of life. Such
an attitude is bound to weaken
character. A girls ideal should
not be marriage, but woman
hood, as mans ideal should not
be marriage, but manhood. We
do not talk of educating our boys
to be husbands and fathers; we
train them to be brave, true and
gentlemen, honest and active and
Industrious, knowing that such
man cannot fail to make a
good husband and father. So it
is with the girls. Train them
to be earnest and independent,
teach them to be self-supporting,
make them accurate and respon-
sible in money matters, as deli
cate and refined in their financial
sense as they are in their modes
ty; in other words, train them to
be womanly, and they win make
the best wives and mothers the
world has ever known.

SUCCESSFUL FARMING

On account of the great strides
that are being made in the
science of farming, if is absolute
ly necessary for every man to
keep in touch with the latest and
best ideas, methods and sugges-
tions that are constantly develop
ing.
Much thought and money are
being spent in the development
of this reat industry. Compe-
ti1ion is as keen in this line of
work as in the complex business
life of the large cities. Study,
thought, experiment are essen
tial for success.
In our club of four magazines,
advertised elsewhere in this pa
per, we have included the best
and most authoritative farm
publication on the market. This
Journal tells you of the methods
of successful farmers. Tells you
how others have met and over
come the same problems that
confront you.
We offer you a years subscrip-
ton to this publication and three
other magazines for only a few
cents more than the cost of our
paper alone. If you have not
already sent up your subscrip-
ton, do it now.'

IT'S COMING

It's coming! What is COM
ing? Better business. Get
ready for it. Do not get ner-
vous about it tho, or excited
either. Shake the moss off of
your back; get rid of that bear
like disposition; open the win
dows and let that "blue air"take
wings.
Adjust yourself to different
things; clean up your shop,your
office-get everything in readi-
ness; go at it steady-business
like; buy what you need and
what others need and they will
buy from you. Spend that for
which will profit you most.
Just now, the coal operations
are beginning to look good.
Miners who have been out of
jobs for weeks and months, or
parts thereof, will have chance
to work; their ability to pay land
their ability to save.
A cheerful spirit; an honest
disposition together with all
the benefits now about to be
derived from the activities here
and near at hand are invaluable
assets to each and every one of
US.
Forget about your political
affiliations-resolve to be a
slave no longer. The European
Warhas opened a gap, has start
ed the commercial tide in a diff
ferent Observation-Disclosures, and
Americans, in the natural order
Of things now are in for prosper
ity-perhaps an era the like has
not been known.

Give the young and struggling

WHY BOYS LEAVE THE FARM

In the current issue of Farm
and Fireside an Ohio contributor
makes the following interesting
explanation of why so many
boys leave the farm:
LET me try to show that the
fathers are to blame for keeping
in the rut that runs back to the
days when all work was done by
hand.
1.-THE trees were chopped and
cleared by hand and the land
prepared for seeding with the
old-fashioned crude tools, the
crops planted, cultivated and
harvested in the same way.
"These ancestral farmers were
compelled to work fifteen hours
or more each day while doing
this pioneering, and the same
Internationally grind has been
handed down from generation to
generation ever since.
"This plan of doing two days
work in one will no longer be
tolerated by farm boys when
they come to know that the ma
son. the carpenter, the plumber
and shopmen work but little
more than half of the farm day.
$50. too, are the mothers to
blame. Their sons must become
teachers, clerks, statesmen, or OF
fee men-jobs that will allow
white hands, fine clothes, and a
spruce, Gifted appearance. Also,
the girls are too often advised
by their mothers to marry city
fellows.
Don't do itaany more, moth
ers! If you could follow your
bow for a month after he reaches
the city you would shed tears OF
regret the rest of your life.
CHOW tell the truth, Mr.. Farm
er. Are you giving the boy the
opportunity you might? Remem-
Der this is the twentieth century,
not the eighteenth. Couldn't you
make life a little more pleasant!
"Have a little more sociablll-
ty, give your sons share, let
them do some Of the business. l
know a farmer who never would
let his boys work the team. They
used the hoes. There were four
of them, and they all left home
before they we're eighteen. Make
the boys confdents, ask their adj
vice. Make farming interesting,
dignified and honorable"
