TURKS LOST 5000 IN BATTLE.
Allied Forces Capture Hill go Mt Dar-
daneIieS After Bloody Battle.

London, Sept. ia description
Of the fighting in the Anzac region, on
the Gallipoli Peninsula the last week
in August and the result achieved is
given by Il DaTdanelleS correspondent.
The capture of Hill No. 60 was i'm
Of the last ridge separating the Anzac
zone from the plains to the north,
and thms constitutes a point OF union
between the British forces in the An
FAC position and the line across the
Sulva plains.
The Turks chung to the hill with
the utmost determination, and when
thrown out Of their trenches would
fight their way back again. When
the trenches finally were captured
they were filed with Turkish dead.
1t took three days to oust the Turks,
and the ground around is still thickly
strewn with their bodies and those OF
British soldiers.
The correspondent says it is esti-
fore they surrendered the position.
The correspondent expresses the
opinion that the Turks will not at
tack the Anzac positions again after
terrible losses they sustained in pre-
Vious attacks. They did succeed, he
adds, in sweeping two British battal-
ions off a ridge that previously had
been won by the New Zealanders, but
when they got across the crest they
came under the fire of the British
machine guns.
"They came down in thousands"
said a staff officer Of the New Zealand
brigade. "They went back in hun
dreds. " the correspondent says. Ma
chine gunners claim that 5000 were
killed
Danger to this part eof. the line the,
correspondent thinks, could only
come through physical overstrain Of
the troops, as they have made the
psitions virtually impregnable, and
even supplies for them are now taken
up through saps, which run right
down to the beaches, while the sides
Of the hills are covered with dugouts.
The Turkish batteries sill make it
exciting for landing parties, but once
ashore there is plenty of cover for
the men.

TEST SEED CORN

Within a few weeks you are going
to plant corn. What kind Of corn?
Is 1t to be the kind you ca1 depend
upon to make good" or some you
may have your doubts about?
II you test It before planting you'll
not be taking any chances.
It's an old warning, but still q timely
one. Test your seed corn.
Testing It is q matter Of good bust
ness Judgment. You must take
chances on favorable growing
season. but why take any chance on
the seed corn itself?
Why not know before you put it into
the ground that it's a terminating
seed?
You've got to plant a big acreage of
corn this year. There is every induce
ment to grow the largest crop on
record Price now and the prospective
demand for this seasons yield is the
strong stimulus for record production.
TO get a bad start and be forced to
replant corn because the first seed
fails to sprout means loss of time
and much money.
Be sure you're right-then 80 ahead.
Test you seed corn. It isn't too early
10 start doing 1t right now.

WANT new SCHOOL
FOR SPRING GROVE

To consider razing Township school
No. 8 known as the College Hill school
north of Spring Grove, the township
advisory board will hold meeting
tuesday with Trustee Edgerton and
County Superintendent Williams.
The board will also 60 over a plan
to reduce the cost of tuition for coun-
try pupils going to Richmond high
school. 1t is hoped that a township
high school can be erected in the next
three years east OF northwest of Rich
mond where the township already
owns school property.
NO plans or estimates have been
made for a new No. school house
except that it shall have two rooms
with all modern school appliances and
conveniences if it is erected. The
old school is in bad condition and is
not big enough for the increasing
population.
