At least Of an offensive campaign IN
Mesopotamia. 1t was in November OF
1914 that an AnglO-Indian force, start
ing from the Persian gulf, began
marching north and west over the des-
ert. The fighting was slow and ex-
hausting. but the British pushed
northward until September Of 1915,
when they reached Kut-El-Amara,
which is 230 miles northwest OF the
head of the Persian gulf. They de-
feated the Turks there and advanced
to Ctesiphon, IS miles below Bagdad.
The Turks sent up large forces to
save Bagdad and, after an initial de-
feat won a victory over the invaders.
The British fell back on Kut-El-Am-

Things Very Dull
With Harve

Harve Hines our barber & tonsorial
artist threatens to shut up shop and
moove to some town that has more
enterprise than Bingvii1e's got.
Harve says he has KEEP faithful acct
of the total volume of bizness he has
did in the barbering fine for the past
two munths and it consists of only five
human Eases shaved and two haircuts
AS for shampooing there was none a
tall.
Harve says if that's all the bizness
he has did during two of the hottest
munths of summer when you would
nacher1y think folks would want their
haircut and shaved what can he expeck
now that colder wether has came when
men folks will nacher1y let their hair
and whiskers grow to keep their heads
and Eases warm this coming winter?
There's a good cal of truth in this
when you come to think it over We
askd Harve how he could acct for stitch
turrible decrease in the barbering
bizness in Bingvi1le this summer and
Harve said he ca1ki1ated it was becuz
