troops which crossed the Danube river
between Rustchuk and Turtukai, and
invaded Bulgarian territory but Ber-
lin says these men have been hastily
Withdrawn in the fear of being encir-
cled by the forces of Field Marshal
Won Mackensen.
Fresh gains by the Rumanians
against the center and left wing of the
Teutonic allies operating to the north
of Dobrudja arec hronicled by Bucha-
rest. At Amzacea, Teutonic posi-
ton was captured and with it more
than 100 0prisoners and seven guns
and much war material.
In Pennsylvania from Orsovo on the
Danube near the Hungarian-Ruman-
ian frontier, to the Bukowina border,
numerous engagements have been
fought. Bucharest claims successes
for the Rumanian arms in the region
of Ordorkim, between Fogaras and
ISighiscara, and in the mountains west
of the River Alt. 1t is admitted that
the Rumanian troops were withdrawn
from the jul valley, but before falling
back they destroyed the coal mines at
Petroseny.
Serbs Gaining Ground
The German war office admits the
retirement of the Teutonic allies be-
fore the Serbians to prepared posi-
lions near Lake Presba, on the west
ern end of the Macedonian front, and
also at Nize Hill, north of Kaimakca-
Ian height on the Serbo- Greek frontier
and that the British are maintaining
themselves in positions they have cap
tured along the Struma river, north
of Lake Taminas. In this latter region
the British have added to their front
the town of Jenikoi.
An unofficial dispatch from Paris
says the Serbians, in addition to de-
feating the Bulgarians on Nize Hill
have captured the Kessali railroad
station. The Serbian territory recap
tured by the Entente allies, says the
dispatch now aggregate 230 square
kilometers.
The Italian troops have recaptured
from the Austrians the northern
slopes of Col Briscon and further adj
vanced their position in this region,
according to Rome.
King Constantine has accepted the
resignation of the Greek cabinet and
a new ministry is to be formed in
which the followers of former Premier
Venizelos, an adherent of the cause of
the Entente allies, will have portfol-
los.

CELEBRATE SIXTY
YEARS Of HAPPY
Welded LIFE

On Wednesday February 10, MIR. and
Mrs. Fl. J. Farnum of Sumpter com,
pleted sixty years of welded life to-
gether. Several of their friends
gathered at their home and helped them
to celebrate the day which comes to but
few people, Both Mr.. and Mrs. Far
mum are enjoying quite good health, al
though Mr.. Farnum will be IS years of
age July 81 and Mrs. Farnum will be
81 May 9. Mr.. Farnum was born in
Pennsylvania, leaving there and moving
to Ohio when quite young. In 1845
when the territory of Wisconsin was
for the most part wilderness he came
to Sank prairie living for a time in the
old log shop that stood until recently
| at Kings Corners on the Donelley place.
Since that time he has always lived on
Sank prairie owning for several years
the farm now owned by Ferd Magli and
for many years they have been on the
one they now own. All of the buildings
including both houses were erected by
Mr.. Farnum and two years ago the
large barn on the premises was des-
troyed by fir e and rebuilt.

no NE ECONOMICS
COURSE A SUCCESS

Mrs. Fitz R. Winslow spent last week
in Madison attending the Women g
lecture course and School in Home
Economics. There was large attend
ance, much enthusiasm and great value
derived from the lectures, discussions
and demonstrations. There are many
new ideas in economics and these were
fully shown during the week. An OBJ
ject of interest was en- oven that would
bake with half the gas burned in the
usual home. The course was under
the direction of Miss Abby L. Marlett
and in one of her lectures said:
"Homes where the work of wives
and mothers is doubled because Of lack
of equipment are not confined to fac
tory districts. They are found in the
villages ana on farms as well. The aver
age cost of equipping a farm with all
labor-saving devices man needs
is about six hundred dollars. To
supply the house with the labor savers
the woman needs much less, but it is
often left undone even IN households
where the money is available, and ON
farms where every kind of farm ma
chinery is used.
Heating systems, running water in
the house, lighting systems, sewerage
systems, laundry aids and cooking and
cleaning aids are labor saver
which ought to be supplied, she said. -

BACK FROM EAST

T F. Risley returned early this morn
ing from a trip to New York and Cleve-
land, stopping at Chicago on his way
home. While in the east Mr.. Risley
did some extensive buying and was for
tunate in getting in at the old prices.
He states that the market is in an in
tense condition and only the jobbers
and wholesalers with goods on hand are
able to do business. The scarcity of
dyes, the embargo on wool, the short
crop of silk and other causes have cul-
minated in general advance in prices
and his firm could not duplicate their
present stock except at an advance Of
10, Is and 20 per cent. That the gen
eral trend Of prices upward was not
confined to merchandise alone was
found out by Mr.. Risley when he
reached Chicago on bis way home when
he had to dig up S4.O1 for his railroad
fare to Barabeo instead of So. 35 that it
cost him on his way to Chicago, the in
terstate law having gone into effect
since his departure.

CARE or

XAYHAT is to become of all the

wHLAT is to become Of all the
Christmas plants that are de-
livered from the florist at
christmas time? Perhaps it would be
as well for those who like to see things
growing and dislike the thought of
anything dying not to seek the answer,
Tor have no doubt that nan which
nave been for the time greatly admir-
ed VIII in rapid succession follow the
same course to a common fate-the
trash can.
10 some, of course, such Il fate is
more OF less inevitable under the best
OF care. For instance, a poinsettia
could not be expected to last all win
ter, and it might not be enjoyed if it
did, being distinctly a plant of the
christmas season. However, it may
be kept in a fairly healthy condition
Tor several weeks il it is, kept in a
somewhat warm room and watered
tparingly. And when it does begin to
tade it should be remembered that ii
is capable of serving other years OF
usefulness after this one. SO if you
nave no way In which to care for it
give it to some friend who has her
own place for keeping plants.
To care for the plants that have ON
to you In comparatively good condi-
t1on Is not a difficult task. for they
probably have been given sufficient
fertlllzer to last for some time, and
therefore that particular want need not
be considered for the present. But
they will need attention in three things
water, heat and light.
In watering remember that flower,
ing plants require, as a rule, plenty of
water, particularly azaleas, cyclamen
and bulbs. The lovely little ardisias,
with their red berries, can be given
less water; also geraniums, Heather
mas strong roots, and the mistake is
often made of watering it too much.
for Its small roots are in q very fine
mesh, and they hold the water and are
liable to rot if given more than they
will absorb right away. Orange and
lemon trees will take more. By this il
is not meant that one should keep the
plants soaked perpetually. Let the
soil begin to get dry again after each
watering before more is applied. This
is a safe rule for all potted plants.
Ferns require. liberal watering and
frequent shower baths, though che lat.
ter should never be given to the deli.
cate maidenhair adiantum, although it
requires much water at it's roots and
likes q moist atmosphere.
The ordinary room temperature is
satisfactory. or at least bearable. to
most plants that come from the florists
although azaleas will do much better
if allowed TO stand at least part of the
time in q cool place.
Sunlight may be given to the dra
eenas. crotons {both foliage nlants).
geraniums, also narcissus and other
bulbs until they bloom; partial sun
light to the begonias and ardisias. but
the ferns viii do well without direct
light. Adiantum should never be put
in q drafty place.
