DARDANELLES# FIGHTING
OCCUPIES ATTENTION
t.Y Asaoc,ArrpEp sE..,

LONDON. April 27.The English
public are hoping that the most VIC
lent phase of the German offensive
along the User canal has been wit
messed. IS turning it's attention again
TO the Dar6ane11es. where the land
ing OF troops is still under way. RUS

ed 10 have made but 2. fceblc reply.
No attempt is made here to nini-
lnize the importance of the German
operations in Flanders. which haze
been declared to be at least an ample
revenge for the British victory last
month at Neuve Chapelle. The Bel
sian official report today claims a re
pulse of three German attack south
Of Dixmude. which indicates that the
German contention that their ad-
vance was made over d front extend
ing from Ypres to Dixmrde was &C
#curate.
The latest official German state
ment claims the recapture of aLizerne
but the Belgian report says the town
was taker for second time by the
Wrench who were assisted in tho as
sault by Belgian artillery. Lizerne.
on the western side of the canal, has
been a bone OF contention. having
changed hands four times In the
present fl ht. Its Importance is due
TO the fact that its possession would
give the Germans an important hold
on tina. side of the canal and would
compel the allies TO readjust their
lines. 3i-
That the possible outcomc@of the
fighting along the User is causing
axiety in England IS Indicated by the
demand Of the press this morning
sending OF new army to France.
"A strong German offensive is under
way, also. at st. Mihiel. Thus. the
two points where the German often
sive ceased before Christmas. on the
User and at st. Mihiel, have been
chosen for the resumption or activi-
ties In the spring. It remains to be
seen. however. whether these points
hav been selected as feints while the
main onslaught is made elsewhere.
The eastern front IS receiving scant
attention. Official reports merely

LONELY HOURS.

We often hear people complain OF
being lonely. To all there come lonely
hours, hours when they long for the
presence of friend or loved one. But
these hours need not be lost, even
though the longed-for one does not
come. At such times the heart should
grow more tender The lonely hour is
the time to reflect on life and its pur-
poses, to cast out unworthy motives and
build up ideals. Everyone can give
US something to help build character,
to strengthen us to attack the prob
lens of life. Are the lonely hours
more than you can bear patiently? Go
out and seek someOne-to whom you can
do a service For someone always
needs your help in bearing a burden.
A neglected ckild needs tenderness, an
old person needs cheer; always some
one needs counsel, sympathy or help
in some way. Do something for some
body and forget yourself for a while.
A full mind and kind heart will not
find many lonely hours.

KEEPING YOUNG.
Old Age is Not by Any Means Merely
a Matter of Years.

There is no scientific evidence TO
show that late youth and middle age
are the periods of commencing decrep-
itude and "old age" Man grows old
because he is injured; because his body
cells are poisoned, and not because he
has lived just so many years. There Is
no relentless law determining when Il
man shall grow old. The tradition
three score years and ten is condi-
toned mainly on the manner Of living
and not by any natural law But man
has it in his power to modify these
conditions either for better or worse.
Probably greater luxury of living
which is not balanced by proper phys
ical exercises is primary condition to
be reckoned with. But temperance all
along the line-in eating. drinking.
working. playing and even in resting
has been suggested as a wiser prin-
ciple to hold to. This avoids the pos
sibility of rusting out on the one hand
or Of wearing out on the other.
Yet there is another way and more
worthy reason for retaining youth and
deferring old age-cultivate health for
the love and pleasure of 1t. The
monthly letter Of the Life Extension
institute says Of this suggestions 1T is
not fear of Illness or Of death that we
should encourage, but love Of health.
Il sense of responsibility for the care
of our bodies, desire for bodily en-
durance and efficiency and full achieve
ment. If the mind Is fixed on these
ideals and the already known means of
approaching them are utilized, heart
disease, kidney trouble and the need
less miseries that embitter the lives of
so many may be left to take care of
themselves. 1t is not so much neces-
sarv to fight disease as to cultivate
health for the happiness, contentment
and moral gain that it brings"

Recognizing Statistical Department.

The Wisconsin tax commission is
recognizing its statistical depart
ment with the idea of ecOnomiZing in
the cost of obtaining sales data which
form the basis of the apportionment
of state and county tax. For great
many years special agents have been
employed for this work. whose duty
tits to enter all of the different sales
filed in the register of deeds offices
and ferret out the true consideration.
In this way trades. abnormal sales i,
relative deals are eliminated and the
true consideration obtained.
This work of the special agents
will now be largely eliminated and
the work will be done by the various
assessors of income. Where there
were formerly about seven special
agents employed, about three will be
employed for the present to assist the
assessors of incomes in the new work
The commission has had this
change in mind for a long time, ac-
cording to the members, and now
that the assessors of incomes have
their work well outlined it believes it
to be an opportune time to put the
new system into operation.
The three special agents who are
retained will go from one county to
another and spend a few days with
each man in getting him started on
the work. According to the COM
mission the sales method of equaliz-
ing real estate has been most success
full iii this state, and has been adopt
ed in many other states. In brief
the ratio of the assessment upon
all property sold in district to the
price paid for the same property is
applied to the total assessment for
the district. The five yearly values
are thus worked out and an average
of the five years taken for the esti-
mated true value. The fact that a
five year average is used eliminates
any fluctuations in value on account
of there being boom in one year and
slump in another. The commission
believes that ultimately considerable
economy can be effected under the
new arrangement.

Anent the Buck Law.

That the new buck law is apparent
ly serving to protect the hunter more
than he has been guarded in the past
and vet is resulting in a greater
amount of killing and wanton waste
of deer is the observation with which
State Treasurer Henry Johnson re-
turned from his hunting tripin north
ernWis eonsin,
While many does are shot down for
bucks mistakenly and left in the
woods, because of the new legisla-
ton, Mr.. Johnson says, he believes
the buck law still deserves further
trial before condemnation because of
the increased amount of protection it
affords hunters. The sportsmen are
now more careful to see their target
before shooting, to distinguish tine
doe from the buck. and as result
there are not so many fatalities TO
other hunters.
If something could be done to make
allowance for does shot mistakenly,
so that the carcasses would not be
left in the woods, as is now frequent
IL the case, the treasurer feels that
the new buck law would be more
successful,
