vERDUNONCE MORE
Main THEATRE ON
WESTERN FRONT
Fighting Around the Fortress Has
Broken Out AfreSh
SOMME ACTIONS ARE ISOLATED
Fighting in the River District Gov
ers Large Extent of
Territory.

London, Aug. 2.-While the last two
days have seen little beyond isolated
fighting on the Somme front, the
struggle at VeIdun has broken out
afresh.
Following the failure of an excep-
tionally strong German attack yester-
day west and south of the Hiaumont
field work, ON the east bank of the
Meuse, the French today attacked in
echelon on front of little more
than three miles, from the Meuse at
Nacherauyille as far east as Fleury.
Several German trenches and points
d'appui were captured, with GOO pris-
oners and about ten machine guns, ac-
cording to the French War Office com
munique issued this evening.
The Germans Immediately launched
counterattack in the wood east OF
Nacherauville, but they were repulsed
with grenades.
In the region east and southeast OF
the village OF Fleury (the Vaux-le,
Chapitre Wood and LIE Chenois) the
fighting which began yesterday con.
tinued last night with considerable
violence. The French War Office re
ports that the Germans by the use OF
asphyxiating gases were able to gain
q little ground in the VauX-le-Chapitre
Wood and at lie Chenois Elsewhere
on this front the Germans were re
pulsed
The Berlin War Office, in speaking
Of this fighting, says that hill sal
lent northeast OF Fort Souvile was
captured, while I'VE pressed the enc
my back considerably in the noun
tain forest and in the small Laufe
Wood" Berlin reports the capture
OF about $40 men in this operation.
On the Somme front the French car
tured strongly fortified work be
tween the Hem Wood and the Monaco
farm, Gust north of the Somme, cas-
CT Peronne) This position, the
French night communique says, con
tanned about 100 dead Germans.
The French also took German
trench northwest of Deniecourt, at tn,
extreme southern end OF the Anglo
French line of advance. Two enem,
oounterattacks On this position wer,
later repulsed.
Little of Importance Is reported
from the British front. The British
artillery and aviation service hav,
been busy, the most notable achieve
ment being the destruction OF sever
gun emplacements and ammunition
dumps near Grandcourt, on the Amer

OF course, ones own baby is the

"hailing" from Bennington, Benning
ton "is the finest little city you ever

And that is true, at least, relative
ly However, heartless strangers
might happen to have seen cutter bab-

the cutest, and, possibly, they may
have visited towns or cities which are,
at least in some respects, superior to
Bennington.
AT any rate, stranger is able to
bring into discussion the outside
point of view, the fresh eye" and is,
if he is familiar with the principles
and the practice Of civic improvement
work and landscape architecture, he
is usually able to make suggestions

MIST OFF VIRGINIA
CAPES ENVE' ail.pES
DEUTSCHlAhD
Submarine Disappears Unframed
With No Enemy Craft in Sight
REACHED OPEN SEA IN SAFETY
Tugs Reported That Submarine Was
In Position to Submerge When
Last seen.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 2-The Ger
man submarine merchantmen Deutsch
land passed quietly out Of the Virginia
Capes at $50 O'Clock tonight on its
homeward voyage, apparently unob-
served by the Allied warship patrol
waiting outside the three mile limit.
The Deutschland was accompanied
to the Capes only by the tug Thomas
+. Timmins which had conveyed it
dawn the bay from Baltimore and by
newspaper dispatch boat.
Its departure to sea followed an
eighteen mile dash through the lower
Chesapeake bay. After proceeding
slowly most of the way down, the
Deutschland increased its power at
$50 o'clock and reached the Capes
Just after dusk. None Of the Allied
cruisers was visible as it passed
through.
The trip of the submarine and the
conveying tug down Chesapeake Bay
from Baltimore was started under
ideal conditions. Not cloud was in
the sky as the submersible increased
it's speed to nineteen knots soon after
clearing Baltimore harbor. The tug
Immediately fell in behind and by
dark was 500 yards to the stern.
Bay steamships passingup and down
had their attention attracted to the
submarine by the brilliance of its
lights, especially that on the peris-
cope. They cast their searchlights on
the submersible and as each of the
vessels recognized the Deutchland a
salute of thre whistle blasts were
blown. The submarine answered each
salute with its whistle.
At 1.30 o'clock this morning, while
passing Solomon's Island, the last OF
the vessels with searchlights was pass
ed. BY that time all the members OF
the crew except two had disappeared
from the deck. One of these men was
standing well forward, lead line for
sounding in his hand, and the other
was at the stern.
Those aboard the submarien and
the tug apparently were worried by
the presence Of newspaper yacht, {
speedy craft which kept up with the
NCooCfo WltHOuL ulliIulll. ut luH
especially kept close watch on the
yacht and was quick to take up {
position between it and the submarine
whenever the opportunity presented
itself.
Whether the U-Boat submerged be
fore 1t reached the three mile limit i
not known. The two accompanying
boats only knew that it disappeared
unharmed, and to all appearances hat
a clear field ahead TO a point where 1
could submerge completely in safety
Half an hour after the last light o
the Deutschland had disappeared. tn
Timmins, seemingly satisfied with it
work, turned back and headed u
Chesapeake bay for Baltimore.
During part of the day the Deutscl
land had remained hidden at GOV
up Chesapeake bay.
For several hours before the begir
ming of the final dash 1t lay in Sc
cluded retreat near Tang.er Islam
about fifty miles above Cape Henry.

London, Aug. 3.-The ultimate Rus

The German loss of the Stokhod

Russian crossing of the river leaves

SELL COTTON ON GRADE.

Mr. Grower. do you sell your. cot ton according to it's grade aud the value of that grade, or do you anu the neighbors lump it all together, the bad and the good, and accept an aver age price? Good middling IS S=1 cents, low middlng IT 3-4 cents, dit- ference cent per pound or five dol lars per bale, are the figures shown hy the quotations of the Little ROCK Cotton exchange for November 10. Ihe man who grows good cotton should get the price of good cotton and the only way to do that is to sell on grade. If this is not customery d, vour local market and you do not know the cotton grades, write the ex- tension division, Little Rock, Arkan- sas. The expert cotton grader froE the United States department of az riculture will send tags for the bales and samples and bags for mailing the samples to Little Rock. The grader will give a prompt reply showing grade and staple. With that knoWl- edge the owner is in position to sell for it's real value. Try it. Write for this assistance which is free to all cotton growers.

CAL0MEL MAKES
 YOU SICK, UGH!
@Dods0n's Liver Tone better than
 cal0mel and cali not saliyate

Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quick silver. Calomel $ dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite cramping and sickening you. Calo- mel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need dose of dangerous calomel just rememner that your druggist sells for 30 cents large bot tie of Dodson's Liver Tone. wh oh is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you day s work. Dodson's Liver Tone straish- tens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

 If the road of economy IS the high way leading to success, are you, as parents, preparing your chiidrcn ter this journey?
 Down in Athens. Georgia, a graph ic picture of thrift and enterprise was presented this summer at the opening of the short course of the State College of Agriculture when 800 boys and girls-and some grizzled men-carolled. These boys and girls won their scholarships in the State College in their corn club, canning club and pig club contests. They worked hard and necessarily to win these scholarships, and who will say they will not make better citizens thereby?
 We see these evidences of the thrift of time looming up in all parts of the country. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the total enrolment of pupils for tEe winter night school classes numbers 760, the largest night school in the State.
