RUSSIANS ON
THE OFFENSIVE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

still being stubbornly opposed by the
Russians, who are making vigorous
counter-attacks.
Won Hindenburg, however, has
reached a point west of the bridge
head across from the town of Dvinsk
and is preparing to attack that fofti-
fled area.
Along the rest of the line the Ger
man advance has also slowed up,
while in Galicia the Russians are
still attacking and, according to un-
official reports from Bucharest and
other points, the Austro-German arm
les are falling back across the Dnies-
ter river. Just north of the Galician
border the Russians also are in
TIE offensive and are making an at
tempt to recapture the fortress of
I, Dubno, which the Austrians took last
week.
The offensive on the south, it is
believed will have an effect on the
rest of the front, as reinforcemcnts
must soon be sent there or The Teu-
tonic allies will run the danger Of
being outflanked. Despite this, the
Austrians have sent reinforcements
against Italy and have at some parts
of the line assumed the offensive
The country is so rough and the
Italians, since they declared war,
have been so successful in capturing
important positions for defense, that
an advance by the Austrians can uot
tor soma time threaten the defenders.
The operations, however are likely
to take on a more interesting cnar.
acter.
The heavy guns continue their bonn
bardMeut along the western front
and in the Vosges another battle is in
progress for possession OF HartmanLs.

What the farmers of South
west Louisiana need inpera-
lively at this time is a better
practical knowledge of the way
to go about the new agricul-
ture. They have been produc-
ing sugar cane, cotton and
rice for several generations
and they know how to pillow
and hoe, to harvest and thresh
and grind, but they do not
know the why of many things
entering into their work.
In confederation of that
statement we have but to point
to the unusually light crop of
corn produced throughout

1t is entirely reasonable to say
that the corn yield of this
section was cut down fully 80
per cent by the last blowing.
And yet, every farmer who
cut the roots of his corn with
a big turning pillow and thereby
reduced the yield Of his corn,
will tell you that the drought
was what did the damage.
This is, cited as all illustra-
ton of what the farmer needs
to learn, Notwithstanding he
may have been farming during
the lifetime of a generation.

to gather food for the plant in
order to enable it to produce
foliage and fruit. 1t follows
that the cutting of the roots of
the corn just as it is enterting
upon the period of fruiting
must inevitably deprive the
plant of necessary food and
thereby shorten the yield.
1t is plain that the farmer,
like the business man, the
banker, the lawyer and doctor,
is never too old to learn.
That is why the Agricultural
College of the Louisiana State
University has arranged a
Farmers Short Course at
Baton Rouge, January 10Th to
10Th. Every farmer in Louis
and as many business men as
possible, should be there.
There will be ten days of
lectures and demonstrations
conducted by a number of the
most eminent agricultural and
live stock specialists in the
United States.
No fees will be charged and
special rates prevail OIL all the
railroads, so as to put this
great privilege within reach
of all. The course will be
entirely practical and calculat-
ed to meet the needs of practi
cal men and mowen. No one
will be expected to study
textbooks, to recite lessons
or to answer questions; but all
are invited to ask questions of
the lecturers and get all the
instruction and help they may
desire of them.
The occasion will be a
profitable one, the expenses
will be limited to railroad fare
and board, and the pick of

Charles z. Hunter. q well known
and popular trainman. of the Nor.
gantown & Kingwood railroad, was
instantly killed on the Sabraton tin
mill siding Saturday evening at ten
minutes past seven o'clock, when tho
wheels OF one of the cars of his train
passed diagonally over his body. Mr..
Hunter was employed as q brakeman
on the train. and was climbing down
the side OF car, when his body
struck the end OF pile OF lumber
close TO the track. and was knocked
under the wheels. Death was practi-
cally instantaneous. but the body was
not mangled. there being scarcely a
mark to indicate the cause OF death.
The pile OF lumber. It is stated, was
about four feet from the outside raj,
Of the siding leading into the tin mill,
and on the outside OF the curve. On
account OF the curve the end of the
car from which the brakeman was
climbing projected In the direction of
the lumber. not leaving a clearance
sufficient for the body OF man.
Mr.. Hunter was usually employed
as a brakeman on a passenger train
but was called out on Saturday to re-
lieve another crew which had been on
duty the full length of time allowed
by law.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and one daughter. 20 months old.
Three brothers. George, of Fairmont,
and Harry and Thomas, of Rowles-
burg, survive. His parents are dead,
his father having lost his life as the
result OF railroad accident some
years ago.
Mr.. Hunters old home was In Row
lesburg where he lived before moving
to Morgantown. He had been in the
employ OF the M. & X. for about seven
years and was one of the very best
liked officials on the road. He was
agreeable, accommodating and a gen.

The Need for Ships

Nothing Is more erratic or subject
to more violent changes than ocean
rates. A period of high freights and
pronounced activity in sea commerce
has followed former wars. The Amer
lean shipping men see, added to what
usually follows war, a tremendous
trade for them from the Panama Canal
and the opening OF all South America
to American business. A few illus

belief. One OF the leading concerns I'm

COUNTY FARM NOTES.
BY John Y. Mcdonald.
Kingwood Creanery to Open.

Saturday. March 9Th, the new
creamery at Kingwood will be FORM
ally opened. The Pomona Grange
will meet In Kingwood the same day.
A number OF prominent peakers will
be present. among whom will be Prof.
G. X. Titlow. head OF the state extern
sion department. A large crowd is ex-
pected and farmers will be well repaid
for their time. This creamery is I'm
every sense of the word a home in
dustry. II Is owned entirely by local
people and should be q most valuable
asset to the farmers OF Preston coun-
ty. The most hearty support OF every
farmer within reach should be given.
Even though farmer has but two or
three cows he should supply his share
OF cream. The first year OF cream
cry Is usually the time when the up-
ply OF cream is smallest. Hence every
farmer should lend his support from
the start. The more cream the factory
gets the more 1t can pay per pound
OF butter fat. Selling cream not only
saves the labor OF churning but al
most invariably pays better than when
butter Is made at home. Cream routes
will be established extending out from
i've to ten miles in different direc-
tons. All we now need is more silos
for more and better cows.

The Last Resort

The question is asked almost daily:
Why do Democrats. who as q rule have
opposed the extension of governmental
activities, now favor publicly owned
ships? III such inouirers are seeking
information in good faith, they must
be told that Democrats, while oppos-
ing government ownership in princi-
pie and practice, have not failed to
embrace 1t in preference to subsidy
and monopoly.
TO mention only one recent illus
tration, there is the parcel post. Eff
forts to enforce some degree of ac-
countability upon the express compan-
les had failed. They charged exorbi-
tant rates, in many cases collecting
at both ends of the route. and by
their activity in politics they regu-
larry defeated reform. To kill
wrong that had become unbearable
tho parcel post was established.
The American people have waited
nifty years for private enterprise to
enter the deep-sea carrying trade.
during all OF that time they have
been told that a merchant marine
could be had only by subsidy. Re-
fusing to adopt this policy they saw
their vast commerce proceeding nm
der foreign flags until war involving
most of the great maritime nations
subjected 1t to enormous inconven-
fence and loss. To meet this situation
In part, Democrats now propose a
wider experiment in government-own-
ed ships.
Opposition to the measure offers
nothing but subsidy in its place. In
the view of some statesmen. IL is
all right to make a gift of $50 900 900
to ship owners who agree to take out
American registry, but il is all wrong
to expend $4,000. 900 for vessels which
the people will own and control. Here
again II is monopoly and privilege
and plumber on the one side and gov
eminent ownership on the other. Con-
fronted by such an issue. with no 9th
er way out, most of the Democrats in
Congress adhere to government own
ership, and the World agrees with
them.
Government ownership is a last re-
sort, TO be accepted not because Il IS
Democratic but because It is the one
final remedy for political and eco
nomic hold-ups. York World.
