British Continue to Push Back
Teutonic Army.
sam OF FOUR MILES MADE
Considerable Ground Secured by Eng
lish Soldiers Since Offensive
Began on July 1.

London, July 15.-British guns and
infantry continue to deepen the big
dent in the German lines north of the
Somme.
After forcing the second line along
a four-mile front General Sir Douglas
Haig's forces renewed the attack.
As a result the Germans at one
point have been pushed back to their
third line of defense.
This marks a British advance OF
four miles from the original German
lines as they existed at the beginning
of the offensive on July in the Fri
courtMametz sector.
The force of the renewed British
drive is shown not only in the ground
gained, but in the number of prison
ers captured.
London reports the taking of more
than 1000 Germans within the past
twenty.four hours, the total since the
| start Of the offensive now being in ex-
cess of 10000.
French Remain Inactive.
While the British are thus pushing
back the Teutonic lines the French on
their right flank are remaining COM
paratively inactive, having already
achieved similar object.
They are busy at Verdun however,
where they have repulsed an attack
near the Avacourt redoubt, on the ex-
IRENE left of the Verdun front, while
the artillery is actively replying to
commandments by the crown princes
guns on the east bank of the Meuse.
At Apermont attempted German at
tacks were broken up by the French
barrage fire.
Hard fighting continues between
Russians and Turks in Turkish Ar
menia, where the Russians are push
ing westward from Mamakhatun.
The result of the battles so far is
indecisive, Constantinople reports.
The German official report admits
the penetration of the Teutonic lines
| by the British.

His ChIldren's Work.

He was certainly very poor speci-
men of humanity, and, so far as could
be seen, was certainly a fitting recip-
lent of the pennies dropped into his
box by the charitable-minded. Day af-
ter day ne sat there, none knowing or
caring how he managed the journey to
and from his residence, in whatever
part of the town that might be, with
out an accident What brought you
to this, my poor fellow" inquired a
lady of a rather more practical turn
of mind than many my children,
ma'am," replied the fellow. with a
pitiful groan. Dropping some coins
into the box, the lady passed on, with
q remark to her companion as to what
some children are responsible for. A
bystander, who overheard the remark,
asked him the ages of his children.
THE eldest is twelve, and there are
four others replied the knave. Then
you rascal, now could they bring you
to this?" I'm a handcart, the same as
they take me away" was the self-sat-
isfied response.

MAN TAKES SECOND PLACE
Many Ways IN Which He Is Inferior to
the Partner of His Joys
and Sorrows.

A man can't do two things at time.
A woman will broil a steak and see
that the coffee does not boil over, and
watch that the cat does not steal the
remnant of the meat on the kitchen
table, and dress the youngest boy, and
set the table, and see to the toast, and
stir the oatmeal, and give the orders
to the butcher, and she can do it all
at once, and not half try.
Man has done wonders since he
came before the public. He has navi'
gated the ocean, he has penetrated
the mysteries of the starry heavens
he mas harnessed the lightning, and
made it light the great cities of the
world.
But he can't find a reel of thread in
his wife's workbasket; he can't dis
cover her pocket in dress hanging IN
the closet; he cannot hang out clothes
and get them on the line the right end
up. He cannot hold clothespegs in his
mouth while he is doing it, either. He
cannot be polite to somebody he hates
He cannot sew on button. In short
he cannot do a hundred things that
women do almost instinctively.

NIGHT RIDERS IN PLOTS TO KILL

ing merchants, manufacturers and land

Jerusalem" was the password of the
night riders. ITO do the bidding of
the majority" was the vow, and death
was the penalty for failure to obey,
according to the testimosy of Hobart
Shipman, Walter WILDLY and George
Perry.
This trio, with hore than three score
others, were arrested several months
ago after the night riders besieged sir
detectives who had spent two weeks in
the woods and swamps of New Madrid
and surrounding counties working as
lumberjacks with the night riders by
day and spying on their meetings at
night.

DOGS NO MATCH FOR BUCK
Animal at Bay Proved Itself Master Of
Pack That Had Been Put on
Its Track.

Animals Of different species do not
often fight one another because they
cannot comprehend or guard against
an attack different from that used by
one OF their own kind.
The predatory beasts in many cases
overcome their prey, not because they
are very much stronger, but because
of the fear and confusion that their
strange method of attack rouses In
their quarry.
For example, dog of lighting
breed charges like lion, and nearly
every member of the deer tribe, in
Guiding even the elk and moose, flies
from him in panic; but when one Of
these animals learns the real power of
the dog it is a different matter.
Hobart Ames kept a number of deer
in park at his winter home in Ten
nessee, among them buck with
fine set of horns. The buck came to
have great contempt and dislike for
dogs, and any unfortunate dog that
got into the deer inclo sure did we'll to
escape with his life.
The buck had learned that no dog
could withstand the charge or the
thrust of his horns, and running from
them was the last thing he thought Of.
On the other hand, the dogs were
greatly puzzled by an animal that
ought by all rules to run away, but
did not.
One night the big buck jumped out
of his yard, and Mr.. Anes' foreman put
the dogs on the deers track and found
him in a thicket quarter of mile
from the house. There was fight,
and then the dogs were seen coming
home at top speed, followed by the
enraged buck.
His hair was turned the wrong way
and his eyes burned redly as he
charged every dog ne could overtake.
Several of the hounds were badly hurt
and all of them were scared.
They fed to their own quarters, and
it required the combined efforts of the
kennel men and stable boys to rescue
the pack. Probably if single one OF
the. hounds had learned to fight deer
at bay his example would have been
followed by his mates Youths Com
panion.

FOOD WORTH MUCH STUDY
No Other Problem Can More Worthily
Engage the Attention Of the Moth
er on the Farm.

What could be womans problem
On the farm that was not a womans
eternal problem everywhere and any
where? Home economics or the Sc
lection, use and preparation of food,
clothing, shelter and household man.
agement, and how can this problem,
Dr. any other problem, for that matter,
be solved except through study or ed
ucation? And yet SO little has been
thought of the home problems that
more money is spent year by year for
teaching the men how to fatten a steer
or pig than to teach mother how to
care for her babe or feed her superior
animals-the men Of the family, writes
M. E. Barrett of the Texas experiment
station. Visit any farm you please
and you will be shown the fine pigs
and calves, goats or sheep, but never
word of the baby or it's nursery.
I've even seen kindergartens for colts
to train them in their stunts, but
never a home garten for the children.
l believe you will all agree with me
that food is the first problem. To
load your table down with vege-
tables and meats is not treating your
child as your husband treats his pig
baby. He is carefully balancing the
rations for the pig for growth, and
that of the horse for energy, and that
of the COW for milk. Neither is he
working all day long on the three
meals day for his animal family.
Now here is where education comes in
again, to cut down the work Of those
three meals in quantity and make il
count in quality, to take less time and
more thought. Try fireless cooker
Get bulletin on balanced rations and
menus from the university. Then, in
the cool of the afternoon, prepare YOU
vegetables and meats for next day; al
breakfast bring them to q boil and put
in the hot rock and close UP the din
ner. This will save you from one tt
two hours on dinner which can be
spent in further study on the subject
of food values.

MEXICO W|LLPUN|SH
MURDERERS OF IS
GENERAL CARRANZA'S GOVERN.
MENT GIVEN TIME TO AvENGE
KILLING OF AMERICANS.
OUR CONGRESS GETS EXCITED
OF Course Members Try to Make 1t a
Political lssue-Our People Down
There Won't Heed Our Warming
to Come Home.

Acknowledgement Carranza and
the de facto government of Mexico are
to be given full opportunity, without
intervention from the United States, to
run to earth the murderers of eighteen
American citizens at Santa Ysabel last
week and to demonstrate their ability
to restore order and protect foreign
rights in the southern republic.
This was the outstanding fact after
meeting of the cabinet, conference
between President Wilson and Chair
man Stone of the senate foreign rela-
tons committee.
Administration leaders firmly outlin-
ed in the senate Saturday the position
of the government in the face of de-
nunciation from the republican side,
and another resolution directing inter-
vention, proposed by Senator Works
of California At the state department
officials were awaiting official word
from General Carranza in reply to the
demand made upon him to seek out
and punish the bandit murderers.
Punishment Promised.
General Carranza has announced the
dispatch of troops to capture the out
laws and his purpose to visit "condign
punishment upon every participant in
the massacre"
Measures to facilitate the removal
of Americans from districts where
their lives might be endangered were
| discussed by department officials with
Mr.. Arredondo, who later advised Cen
eral Carranza by telegraph that every
assistance be given such American
and escorts provided to accompany
them into cities where strong garri-
sons are maintained He went fur
Their than the state department sug-
gested, recommending that in cases
where foreigners objected to leaving
that they be forcibly removed to point
of safety.
That large numbers of Americans
are leaving northern Mexico was re
ported to the department, but it is es
timated that not counting the mem
bers of Mormon colony at Gases
Grandes there are still at Parral, Du
range, MADEIRA and other points, the
control of which by Carranza is doubt
full, more than 300. That the majorit!
of these may remain in spite of warn
ings is feared.
Protection If Possible.
When Secretary Lansing was asked
whether the United States government
would protect it's citizens under sucl
circumstances he replied that it woult
do so ito the best of it's ability" Blu
that in such cases the government
would not be obliged Ito use force
where people are indiscreet" He com
pared the situation in Mexico witt
that in Europe at the beginning of tn
war, when Americans were ordere,
