LONDON Nov 2.-The first Off
cial hint that the allies may abandon
the attempt to force the Dardanelles

a speech in the house OF commons
While defending the campaign. AS

sideration' is being given the cam

ton for further men in the eastern
theater, BY this statement Asquith
practically admitted the Withdrawal

Germans in the proposed path
through Bulgaria to Constantinople,

erywhere the announcement was in

stroke. The premiers announcements
that the allies do not intend to de-
sert Serbia was stormily cheered. He
said General Joffres visit to Eng

Balkans
The premier called the outlook on
all fronts encouraging, declaring the
Germans have not gained foot in

Regarding Serbia Asquith said,
I'VE cannot allow Serbia to become
prey to a sinister and nefarlous
combination between Austria, Ger

Severe Storm.

The drOuth which as prevailed for the
past six weeks, or almost the entire
spring was broken by one Of the sever
est wind, rain and thunder storms this
county has ever experienced, Thursday
and continuing all the following night.
The rainfall was a fraction over four
inches, and commenced about three
o'clock Thursday afternoon, bat 1t was
only a prelude Of the real downpour
that opened up about IL o'clock that
night and continued until the next
morning, accompanied by the severe
storm of thunder and lightning. The
damage about town was only slight.
One Of the large oak trees in Mr.. N.
Scales front yard was blown down, but
luckily fell away from the house.
The greatest damage was about four
miles north Of town. where the fne'barn
OF Mr.. Curriers', probably the largest
in the county. was blown to pieces.
Two silos were also destroyed and sew
eral cabins on the place blown down.
Luckily no cattle were killed in the
barn. The storm next struck Mr.. Harry
Woods place, where the silo was de-
stroyed, barn unroofed and several cab
ins blown down and a fine cow killed.
Mr.. John Csvett is reported to have
lost a clio. and several cabins were re-
ported destroyed OF the Leo Cole place.
MIR. and Mrs. w. E. Stokes and their
guest, Mr.. Larrabee, of St. Louis,
were spending the night at Mr.. Woods
house. They had been to Cliftonville
the afternoon before in their auto ant
were caught by the storm and stopped
by the mud before reaching the grave
road. This is Mr.. Woods second ex'
perience Of the kind in two years. hi
house having been destroyed by a eye
lone in March, 1918. His house thil
time escaped serious damage though
several windows were blown in and the
rooms flooded. Mr.. Stokes says hi
was just as badly frightened as IL he
had been carried away.
The only damage done south Of the
river so far as reported, is the loss by
Mr.. Swallow Of his silo.

A Word for Cen. Lee.

Golfers Weekly says: Notone
word too much was said in praise
of Lincoln on the iftieth anniver-

us not forget Lee. In June, 1868,
General Robert E. Lee issued to
the forces of the Southern Con-
federacy, which he commanded,
an order saying:

Home

Home-making is an exquisite art.
Let us hope hat we are not in dang
er of losing it. When people live in
a flat for eight months of the year;
in a shack or a cramped boarding
house for four; change their legal
residence every few years; and spend
most of their hours Of recreation in
getting as far away from home as
possible in an automobile, home
seems like a vanishing memory.
Apparently some people do not even
understand what home" means.
They come into your living room
and say, What a beautiful home
you have!" They mean what a beau
tiful house you have: they know
nothing about your home.
A home is not merely a house; it
is an atmosphere, a feeling. 1t is a
place full of beloved associations,
where you can wear old clothes, and
think old thoughts, and hear fami-
liar voices without hearing them.
You can be happy there, and be COM
fortably unhappy, be thoroughly un-
pleasant even, and know that those
you love will think no worse of you
than they do already. Luxury cam
not make a home, nor can books, or
pictures, or rugs, or bric-a-brac. A
cat, a canary, two geraniums, a BIZ
BILE, and an old rockingham may
make one of the loveliest homes in
the world. At the same time, a
home is not necessarily happy be-
cause it is the house of poverty, as
some would have us believe.
The art of creating home atmos-
phere is wholly the art of woman,
and she has none more charming.
Mere care will not do it, or mere neat
ness and tidiness; indeed, those things
sometimes work the other way. The
love of prettiness will not do it; good
cooking will not do it, although it is
a mighty help. Even being gay,
and merry, and kindly yourself is
not quite enough, although it helps
even more than the cooking. Sue
cess in h~ome-makine as in every
thing else, requires that you shall
feel a real joy in your work. If it is
a drug, if it is an irksome duty, if
your mind is on a thousand outside
things that are not home, you can
not make home what it should be.
Not that the home-maker should
think of nothing else. That is Meth
er desirable nor possible. But the
woman whose first pleasure is to
create that beautiful thing, home,
will be a precious and permanent
influence not only to her own fami-
ly, but to all her household, to all
her guests, to the whole community
in which she lives.-Exchange.

"FructiOnulism on the WansY'

The Republican Outlook.

lIU6C CDuDllCdllo WIN arc w
posed to President Wilson, his
policy and the measures he
strenuously advocated with the
earnest wish and purpose to see
them enacted into law, and who
~partisantly desire to see his ad-
ministration fail of success, in his
effort to restore prosperity to the
country find much comfort in the
detection existing in Democratic
ranks.
But whatever consolation they
derive from the want of harmony
in the Democratic household is
more than offset by the discord
in their own.
The pleasures of hope kindled
by the successes that came to the
Republican party at the elections
last fall, and the great expecta-
tons they have INDUCED because
CT the return to the party Of so
many of those who followed
Roosevelt in his Bull Moose seces-
sion movement are not well found
ed.
A close study of the situation
reveals conditions in Republican
ranks which do not portend fair
weather, favorable winds and
easy sailing for the G. O. P.
craft.
Senator Borah, the able U. S.
senatorial leader from Idaho.
recently announced that it was
not his intention to be an active
candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination. But the
chief reason he gave for his state
ment does not hold much pro-
mise for that absolute party un-
ion without which there cannot
be well founded hope of Republi.
can success at the polls next
year.
Senator Borah makes it very
clear that he intends to remain
a liberal Republican and a citizen

political aspirations" and entire.

ton for high Office, especially
at a time like this, when plair
speaking seems likely to become
necessary if the Republican par
ty is to be restored to power"
Then, too, another thcrn ir
the Republics flesh is the libe
suit by William Barnes against
Theodore Roosevelt. The case
is being vigorously pressed al
Syracuse and many Republican
party secrets are coming to light
being thoroughly exposed anc
given the widest possible publici
(which must result in much
iconoclasm.
Already, it has shattered many
cherished beliefs in the politica
honesty, the purity land patriot
ism of purpose, (the uprightnes.

whose faith and truth and honor

healed the scars it will leave will
scarce be obliterated in the pres.

the Republicans will be harder
to travel than that over which
the Democrats must go to arriv,

GATHERING TREE SEEDS
An Infant Industry in Kentucky oevel-
oped by STATE Nurseries.

The experience in growing trees at
the State nursery has shown very
CLEARLY that in a great many cases II
lis not possible to get tree seeds OF the
native species at the time and in the
|condition desired. Kentucky is pecul-
lar in that up to very recently there
has been no agency or individual in
terested in the gathering OF tree seed
in its borders. The demand for the
tree seeds in the State nurseries at
Louisville and Frankfort has started
In a small way a new industry in the
gathering of tree seeds within the
State. Last year considerable por-
ton of the seed planted was obtained
from Kentucky. Several small boys
had become interested in this line OF
work and gathered a considerable
quantity of seed of certain varieties.
II is expected this fall that the bulk
of the seed planted in the State nur-
series will be obtained within the
State from native varieties. The gath
ering of tree seed offers an attractive
field for a limited number OF individ-
ua,s. particularly bright boys, who are
willing to take the time and trouble
necessary to distinguish tree species
