In Clash With Natives
On Panama Coastline

Panama, April 11.-For several
months the U. S. S. Ileonidas, which
has been engaged in surveying the At
lantic coast of Panama, has had nu-
merous difficulties with the San Bias
Indians. Serious clashes have been
avoided only by the tact and patience
of the officers of the ship.
One annoyance the officers have had
to contend with has been the removal
of cloth markers that the surveyors
placed along the shore. The Indians
found the bright calico too great a
temptation to resist. After numerous
circumstances, the officers threatened
that for each marker stolen a certain
number of cocoanut trees would be
fe11ed in reprisal, This had the de-
sired result, for after a few trees had

Washington, April 11.-Prepara-

ships ever assembled at the yard. The
fleet, which is expected there within a

In the fleet will be the batt1eships

FRENCH REPORT
FAILURE OF BIC
GERMAN ATTACK

Paris, April 1.-THE failure of the
latest great hammer stroke at Verdun
has greatly encouraged the French
press and public and confirms still fur,
ther, the general confidence felt in the
ability of the high command.
The attack is stated to have been
one of the most determined of the
three great blows delivered since the
battle began SO days ago and yet it
yielded the least results of any of them
although the Crown Prince hurled two
whole army corps against the French
along ten mile front.
AS Bethincourt formed a dangerous
salient it's evacuation had been expect
ed for some time and many military
observers long ago criticised it's re-
tention. General Petains' unerring
judgment in letting it go at exactly
the right moment is now highly prais-
ed. While of little value to the
French, it is of almost none to the
Germans as it is located in a hollow
commanded by French guns on all
sides out of which it is practically in1-
possible for them to debouch.

master or the expressman. But
though the results are concealed, they
are none the less real A stream of
trade is drawn out of the district
where it naturally belongs. The net
result is to help destroy the best
market for the farmers goods.
The best prices are obtained for
farm products when they are sold near
at hand. The farmer who depends on
selling his grains or his fruits to dis
tant jobbers and spectators has to put
up with many disappointments and a
good deal of dishonesty. Low prices
are the rule. If there is some chance
to dispose Of goods near home, he be-
comes independent of niddlemen and
jobbers.
For that reason, it is for the interest
of the farmers to see the population

Livestock Campaign
Quite Successful
Milton p. Jarnasin, Professor OF Ami
NAL Husbandry, Georgia State
College OF Agriculture.

The campaign for more and bet
ter livestock which has been conduct
ed in Georgia by the College of Agri-
culture in cooperation with the rail
roads, proved as great a success as
could be hoped for. Practically the
whole state was included in the itln-
erary, every line of railroad being
used. About 175 stops were made by
the exhibit cars, the arrangement be-
ing to make two stops day. About
$4,000 people visited the exhibits and
heard the speeches made by the eX-
perts accompanying the exhibits.
All those who saw the exhibits know
more today about what pure-bred live
stock is, what different breeds are
and their adaptability to local condi-
lions than they ever knew before. IN
Questionably many have been led to
desire pure-bred animals and many
have already determined to have such
types of animals as their foundation
for breeding The ultimate outcome
of the campaign, therefore, will be
large contribution to the improve
ment of livestock, the influence of
which will continue indefinitely as the
effect of better breeds develops from
year to year.
This campaign would have been i'm
possible without the assistance of the
railroads. They Joined most heartily
in the undertaking.
The exhibits of homegrown feeds
added conclusive arguments in favor
of the livestock industry in Georgia.
In fact, the conclusion which the cam
paign enforced with no room left for
doubt, is that Georgia affords splen-
did opportunities for livestock grow
ing
