Military developments today were
few and unimportant. There has
been only bombardments on the YER
dun front since Paris reported the
winning back Of the Chambrette farm
from the Germans.
Latest reports from Rumania indi-
Gated the Russians were preparing
TO make definite stand in Southern
Moldavia. They are reported to have
erected strong defensive line.
Berlin announced the Germans ad-
vanced in the Dobrudja.
Berlin reported increased artillery
fire of the Russians in Galicia.
Unofficial Berlin advices said it
was asserted that's the results the
French attained at Verdun were
small and wouldn't effect the mill
tary situation. 1t is not believed ex-
pected attacks would necessitate the
transfer of troops from other fronts.
The German advance in Rumania
is declared to have released a large
number Of troops through shortening
of the line.
FRANCE RETIRED HER FABIUs

YOU Can EARN $50
PER WEEK SURE
By JOINING THE THREE THOUSAND CLUB NOW
AND WINNING THE MAXWELL CAR

Confidence is the necessary asset.
Turn deaf ear to the knocks of
friends, who rather discourage the
person with ambition, than encour-
age.
Don't pay any attention to the per-
son who tells you there is no chance
to win the Maxwell touring car.
Place your own judgment on par
with that of your friends and when
they would discourage you, compare
their mental and financial standing
standing with your own, and you will
then no doubt determine that you are
in a position TO judge of your own
capabilities and the extent of your
energy and popularity.
The Ocala Star is offering the peo-
PIE Of this territory the opportunity
to gain some of the things of life
that go for happiness. You have ev-
erything to gain and nothing to lose.
Are you going to stand back and let
someone else have the things that
rightfully belong to you?
How many subscriptions will it
take? How many votes do you think
it will take for me to win? If were
sure I would win I would enter, is no
doubt what you say to yourself. No
certain number of votes are requir-
ed. No certain number of subscrip-
tons are necessary to win.
Most of US would like to own car.
To ask man Il he would like to own
Maxwell, is ike asking. a Salvation
Army girl if she wants to go to
| Heaven. The desire to own this car,
| coupled with little energy on your
part will go long way toward put
ting you at the top of the list when
the judges make their announcement
OF the close Of the campaign.
Just one more vote than your high
est competitor and the car is yours
regardless. of how much the Star
realizes on this campaign.
There is not person within the
territory that would not enter the
club if they were sure of winning. L
DIR. Chace had waited for someone te
guarantee him the position of mayor
OF Ocala, he would not have the future
before him that he has since the elec

Without Reparation, Declares
the British Premier
TEBTONS NEED NOT EXPECT AN END To THE WAR UNTIL They
ARE READY TO ACCEDE TO ALLIED TERMS
ASSOCIATED Press)

London, Dec. 19.-Peace without
reparation is impossible, Premier
David Lloyd-George told the house of
commons today. The premier declared
the Entente Allies would insist on
complete guarantee against Prussian
n1ilitarism disturbing Europe's peace
and felt that they should know before
entering negotiations with the Cen
trail Powers that Germany was ready
to accede to the Entente's terms.
The premier characterized Chancel-
lor Won -Hollweg's- speech
before the Reichstag as being sub
stantially a denial of the only possi-
ble peace terms. The German note
and the chancellor's speech gave small
hope of honorable, lasting peace. The
British reply will be in accord with
their allies. A formal reply will be
ready soon.
eve will wait until we hear what
terms and guarantees there are surer

800 FREIGHT CARS
PASS HERE EACH DAY
0ae Cement Plant Loads so Cars Every
Day-GreateSt Movement of
freight Ever Known

In talking with Terminal Agent
Woodrow one day this week we learned
that on one day Of twenty-four hours
recently one thousand freight cars past
thru Leavenworth, and that the present
movement averages eight hundred cars
every twenty-four hours. One cement
making plant at Concrete, Skagit coun-
ty, has an order with the railroad
company for sixty freight cars every
day. Present indications are that the
volume OF freight will increase rather
than diminish for some time to come.
OF course war material forms large
part OF the westbound traffic at this
time, but as there is no indication Of
the war coming to an end soon this
will keep up indefinitely. There are
some hundreds of lumber mills scat
tered thruout the state that have not
begun to cut lumber. When all the
sawmills and woodworking establish
ments Of Washington get under ful1
headway they will add from two hun
dred to two hundred and fifty cars to
the daily traffic.
With all this going on who can doubt
that Washington will once more throb
and thrive with industry this summer,
and that prosperity will reach into every
town and hamlet . ID

gars and a general good time. Sing

at the piano, supplied one Of the diver
soins, which was pronounced by all pres
ent as having been spent profitably and
agreeably. The visitors took the early
morning train for home after extending
a hearty invitation TO their Leavenworth
brethren to pull the latch string at the
Wenatchee castle hall when in that
city.

bers in the next few weeks is expected

POSSIBILITIES OF DAIRYING
IN STATE OF WASHINGTON
A Growing Industry With a limiteSS
Future

There has been so much said and
written about the west and so many
theories advanced as to the best meth
DDS for the utilization OF the vast area
OF logged-off lands lying thru-out the
northwest, and in it all there seems to
be a thoroly we'll defined idea that
dairying is the proper answer and the
ultimate happy destiny.
Hitherto we have imported large
quantities Of butter to supply local de-
mands. However, the balance Of trade
marked decided change during the
year Just passed, as the state exported
some three million pounds Of butter.
The dairying industry in Washing
ton is only in its infancy-the surface
OF the ground has not even been
scratched the first breath OF life has
hardly been taken, When it takes a
start it must grow by leaps and bounds
by virtue OF the ideal conditions pre-
vailing in Washington.
The grasses grow longer and the
climate is milder than in the estab-
lished butter and cheese producing dis
tricts OF the east, hence better article
at a cheaper cost should and will be
the result.
What to do with the thousands oi
acres OF logged-off land lying in Wash
ington has long been a problem. 1t
should be a problem no longer, as
every acre of it can be brought into
productive use thru the medium oi
dairying and kindred industries.
Captain I. M. Howell, secretary oi
state, has prepared little book, fol-
gratuitous distribution. entitled Dairy
ing, Poultry and Stock Raising" which
throws a great light on the possibili-
ties and opportunities for the success
tul promotion and prosecution Of this
lucrative industry. A card addressed
to Captain 1. M. Howell, Secretary of
State, Olympia, Washington, will meet
with cheerful response and bring a
CODY of this valuable little book.

Pointers for Dairy Men

The dairy men Of Okanogan county
to the number of fifty-two, says the
Pateros Reporter, have silos, and $50
more are to be constructed there this
summer. Here is pointer for our
COW owners. A silo doubles the profit
on your milk.
Plant Carrots. No crop gives bet
ter yield. Nothing is better for milk
COW feed.
Make your plans to put up enough
feed for next winter. Now is the time
to lay the ground work. Every time
you go to town for deed you lose time
and money.
Almost anything that grows out oi
the ground will make ensilage. En-
silage is to the COW in winter what a
mess of green's is to the man.
If you have not already an alfalfa
meadow plan to have one. The best
and cheapest COW feed, because you
get more than one crop every year.

Railroads Doing Greatest Lumber Busi-

Sharing in Activity

The shipment of war material by way
of the Russian Pacific port Of Vladivos-
took, which has not abated in the past
month, is now supplemented with an
enormous increase in the east-bound
lumber business. Every transconti-
mental road is sharing in the increasing
lumber business, which in the last two
weeks in the month averaged $50 cars
per day. This is said to be the heavi-
est lumber movement in history. That
it will be doubled when all the mills
that are building and others not yet in
operation once get going, is the pre-
diction
The Leavenworth mills will, once
they start up, add from twenty to forty
cars per day to the lumber movement.
