MY FISH TALE

Pretty nearly every Sunday from
May 20 October last year arose
at 3 a. m. and went to fish on Lake
Washington. going 10 Macs. on
Union bay. where learned the art
of throwing a plug. Mac has this
art down 10 a fine point, and
catches a bass there once In a
while. To be sure. never saw him
catch one. but always on Monday.
In the sporting goods store would
be exhibited half a dozen plump
bass that had fallen prey 10 his
skill. I would then swear that the
following Sunday would catch a
bass or swallow dowagiac. But.
altho many a time have I flogged
the water all around Union bay. ]
have never seen bass or one
caught. Probably just coincidence.
I would give II up after half a
days casting and turn to trolling
for trout. Always would ! catch a
half dozen fish within the first
couple OF hours. Then the rest OF
the afternoon I wouldn't get q bite
until dusk. when I'd land a sixinch
grayling. And every Sunday ]
would take home seven fish. There
are four OF us In the family. and
always wanted to get enough for
two fish apiece. The fact that I
caught seven, n lucky number,
made me hope for big catch the
following Sunday. but all the year
thru I never caught more.
However, the other day ! found
four-ieaf clover. and am sure that
this season my luck will improve.

Chesterfield County secured the
services of Home DemJnstra-

Word was received this week
that the office has been created
and the apolntee, Miss Stella
Minis, of Blackville, S. c., is on
her way here.
Miss Minis is un loubtedly

has worked with Mrs. Walker
and is familiar with the work
from a practical standpoint. She
has also been in training at Win
throp for some time. Miss Minis
Is a College graduate and has
had several years experience in
teaching. and in addition to
teaching she has run her own

side Of Mount Ararat along a
front of hundred miles. Their
chief point of attack seems to be
the ancient city of Erzerum and
in this direc tion they have got
as far as Koprlkoi, about TWEEN
ty-five miles from their goal.
The Russians took Erzerum in
1929 and again in 1873, but each
time it was by the lnsistence of
England restored to the Turks.
Twenty-four persons were kill
ed and 27 injured when a Yep.
pelin airship Saturday night
dropped three and half tons of
explosives on Paris. The attack
was under cover of a fog and the
raider escaped, although large
mum ber of French aircrafts en-
deavored to find it. Some of the
bonn bs weighed about 600 pounds
and In exploding caused consld-
erable material damage.

away, when it was met and de-

of Turks. The British beat a
retreat down stream a hundred
miles to Kut-el-Amara, a posi-.
tion on the northern side of the
Tigris which the Turks had en-
trenched but had failed to hold,
as the British advanced up
the river. Here General Town
shend was compelled to stop, and

they made repeated attacks up

The relief expedition under
General Aylmer came up the
Tigris to Sheik Said, an Arab
village about twenty miles be-
low Kut. Here they found the
Turks entrenched on both sides
of the river, but disloged them

received the support of Turks
and Germans and have posses
sion of many of the cities of CEN
tral Persia. The Russian expe-
dition has taken Hamadan and
gone about fifty miles beyond
toward kermanshah. But even
when they have reached that
city there will still be $50 miles
of mountain and desert between
them and the beleaguered Brit
ish garrison at Ket-el-Amara.
The other Russian offensive is
directed toward Erzerum, which
is about sixty miles southwest
from the boundary line of the
Russian province of Transcauca-
sia. The Russians undertook an
invasion of Turkey in this quar-
ter more than a years ago, but
met with such q stout resistance
Q few miles from the frontier
that the effort was abandoned.
Tie Arm enians of this region
welcomed the Russian invasion
and in some places rose against
the Turks because they had
reasons to believe that the AL
lies intended to set up an auton-
omus Armenia. But the failure
of the Russians to occupy the
country left the Armenians ex.
posed to the vengence of the
Turks and more than a million
have been massacred or driven
into the desert to perish.
The new Russian invasion of
Armenia began early in January
with an advance across the from

heavy rainstorm. The losses
j were heavy on both sides and
victory is uncertain. If the re-
lief expedition can break there
the Turkish ring and the two
forces unite, the advance upon
Bagdad may be resumed, for it
should be easier for the British
to get supplies up the river from
the Persian Gulf than for the
Turks to get them from Oonstan-
tinople, for the German railroad
probably lacks at least three
hundred miles of reaching Bag
dad. 1t is said that the Ger
mans have brought from Com
stantinople 5000 automobiles TO
bridge this gap across the desert.

A Weekly Review
OF The Great War

Another week has past aud
still the Teutonic and Bulgarian
armies show n" signs of moving
on Salonica. On the contrary,
it is reported that the 10000
Austro-German troops who had
occupied Monastir on the Serbi-
an side of the Greek frontier
have been withdrawn because of
the difficulty of keeping up COM
munlcations, since the only rail
road from Monastir runs to, Sa-
20ica. The French and British
at Salonica are therefore able to
continue their work of fortifying
the hills about Salonica without
interruption except from the fly
ing visits OF the aeroplanes.
One of the most remarka BILE
campaigns in the war is that Of
which the outside world has
heard the least, the British in
vasion of Mesopotamia. Gen
eral Sir John Eccles Nixon, who
was in command first, secured
the head of the Dersion Gulf and
the oil field to the north and
then dispatched two expeditions
into Turkey, one up the Tigris
and the other up the Euphrates.
The former under General Town
shend had got tc the ancient

Better Railroad
Facilities at Cheraw

Rumors have been in circula-

that changes for the better were
soon to be made on the Chester
field and Lancaster Railroad.
Nothing very definite could be
learned of the origin of these
stories or of the real intention of
the railroad in question concern.
ing the matter until last Satur-
day when information was given
out by Senator G.. X. Laney that
he had received q proposition
from the Seaboard indicating a
willingness on their part to run
the O. & l.. tracks into the Sea-
board station at Cheraw.
1t seems that Mr.. Laney had
introduced a bill in the senate
to require all the roads concern
ed to build union station in
Cheraw.
The Seaboard has male the
counter-proposal that if Mr.. Ian
ey will withdraw his bill de
manding the union station they
will voluntarily connect the G.
& l.. with the Seabord in the
manner described.
mr. Laney says he would like
to hear from the people of the
county on the subject before &C
cepting this ompromise,
