works in the state, but from
present indications bids fair to
be one of the best.
That these clubs are all in
such fine working order is due
to the enthusiasm and untiring
efforts of Miss Stella Minis, the
Efficient county agent. She is
a oily assisted in the work of this
course by the Misses. Moore,
BostieG and Fleming.
The young ladies were enter

ter which they attended the
Amus-U Theatre.
The boys of the pig cl,b are
not to be forgotten for they are
here to the tune of about 35.
They are doing excellent work ,
but they will have to hustle to
keep up with the girls.
1t Will tax the imagination of
the widest dreamer to forsee
the good results to be gained by
the introduction of this work in
the county. These young people
are doing more than learning tO
can tomatoes and raise pigs.
They are being innocuiated will
the scientific ger n. When they
have thoroughly grasped the big
idea back of this move they wilt
never again be content with the
haphazard was!eful methods of
old. Efficiency and thrift will
be added to industryin all their

The Long-Promised
Offensive Has Begun

against the Germans began last
Saturday and has continued
with una bated fury since.
The first report of this new
phase of the great war came Sun
day when the dispatch stated:
The tremendous offensive
which has been launched by the
British army on the German
front is the culmination of five
day bonn bardment which in the
amount of ammunition expended
in the territory involved ex-
ceeds anything Of the kind that
has been previously known in
the world war.
For weeks reports have been
current in England and France
that the big push" of the Brit
ish was about to commence.
1t was stated that England had
I2,0O0,0OO men, fully equipped
and trained, in preparation for
the supreme effort to break the
German lines. More than 1,O00,-
900 shells are declared to have
been fred daily in the prelimin-
.ary bonn mbardment, which eX-
tended over a front 80 miles in
length.
Tho allies are now on the Of
Ifensive IN practically every
field Of the war. The British
assault comes on the heels Of the
great successes won by the Rus
slams in Galicia and Bukowina,
which have resulted In compile
tply driving the Austrians from
Bukowina. In the Italian front
the central powers have also met
with severe reverses and for
several days the Italians have
been steadily diving the Aus
trians from positions in the
ireutinc. The defense of Yer
dun by the French appears to
have sliliened, and the balance

BULGARS FLEE
FROM MONAST|R
Entire Right Wing Driven Out of
Greece by Allies.
SERBS WINNING ON OWN SOIL
Part of Teutonic Forces Withdrawn
Toward Uskub-Serbians, Eager for
Revenge, Are Making Savage
Attacks Against Invaders.

SalOniki, Sept. 2O.-Serbian Rus
sian and French troops have driven
the entire right wing Of the Bulga-
rian army out Of Greece across the
Serbian frontier and are pressing on
toward MOnaStir, according to official
advices received here.
Recognizing their inability to hold
MOnastir against the strong forces
pursuing their beaten troops, the Bull
gar leaders are said to be evacuating
that city, part of the Bulgarians hay
ing been withdrawn toward Uskub.
The capture of Florina by the en-
tente allies has seriously menaced the
Bulgar center and French officers pre-
dict that the entire enemy front would
be drawn back several miles to pre-
vent it's being flanked from the west.
Fight on Native Soil.
Serbian soldiers are fighting on their
native soil for the first time since their
retreat through Albania last winter.
They have captured a series Of heights
from the BuIgars at Kamakchelan and
nave ClOSScu TIC poiNSA
north of Lake Ostrovo.
French and Russian troops are en-
gagged with the Bulgars near kenale,
on Serbian territory. Practically all
the territory conquered by the Bulga-
rian right wing in the recent invasion
of Greece has already been recaptured
by the Serbs, French and Russians.
Serbs Eager for Revenge.
The most savage fighting has oc-
cured where Serbs and Bulgarians
came in contact. Eager for revenge
the Serbs are flinging themselves at
the Bulgarian lines with knives and
bayOnets. Desperate hand-tO-hand
fighting was reported northwest of
Lake Ostrovo.
The Bulgars have made almost no
strong stand since their first strong de-
fensive position WAS wrecked by
French and Serbian artillery. They
have moved steadily northWard in re-
treat, except at Florina, where they Of
fered stubborn resistance but were
again defeated by French and Russian
forces.
General COrdonnier, French com
mander, established headquarters in
Florina and ordered the pursuit of the
Bulgars continued, said an Athens dis
patch.
Greek Volunteers in Line.
Fighting with the allies near Florina
were Il number of Greek volunteers
whose bravery was specially men,
toned in dispatches from Athens.
In Dobrudja, the Russo-Roumanian
retreat has completely halted on the
strongly fortified line south of the
ConstanZa railway and an important
battle on this line appears imminent.
The Roumanians have the advAn-
tages of narrow front, protected on
the TANKS by the Danube and the
Black sea and there is little doubt here
that they will be able to repel Teutonic
attacks.

The Battle of Verdun.

The German armies have ceased
their endeavoors to capture Verdun
If Germany is finally defeated in can
4 charge it's defeat to the senseless
manner in which the Crown Prince
hurled his splendid legions against
the hillsides and the walls and battle
ments Of the great French fortress.
Ii Germany could but call back in
to the ranks the half million soldiers
lost at Verdun. it would not now be
on the defensive on every front.
A few days ago, David Lloyd
George, the greatest English States
man now living, made speech in the
citidel Of that great stronghold, in
which he admitted that the defense
of Verdun saved the allies cause.
tNone of the military feats with
which French history is filed" said
Lloyd-George, "shows more than does
the defense Of Verdun the highest
qualities Of the French army. This
yictorius resistance will be immortal,
because Verdun not only saved France
but our great common cause and the
whole Of humanity.
upon the heights surrounding this
old citadel the evil power of the en-
envy has been broken like furious
sea against granite rock. l am
deeply moved TO come in contact with
this sacred soil.

WALL STREET TESTIMONY.

From the st. Louis Republic.
No sooner did it become known in
Wall street that the railroad presi-
dents would yield to the despotic
demands of President Wilson than the
Stock Exchange proceeded to have a
1,000,0 00-share day with 100000 shares
thrown in for good measure.
The sacred principle Of arbitration
had been throttled by ruthless Chief
Magistrate. The railroads had been
condemned to ruin without their day
in court. Demagogy was in the sad
die and the economic stability of all
industry was menaced by the 'inepti-
tude," as Mr.. Hughes calls it, of
Woodrow Wilson.
SO Steel common moved to a new
high record of 81 10 The shares of
the RAILROADS already wrecked by an
eight-hour day advanced all along the
line. The brokers were unable to take
care Of the business of the people who
wanted to invest money in the cata-
ciysm of industry.
The next day the situation refused
to better itself. There was another
1,000,00O-share day. Steel common
went up to 1858, narrowly escaping
par. There has been no other such
stock market in 10 months as New
York has witnessed since President
Wilson ruined the railroads, obliterat-
ed arbitration and gave over the in
dustries Of great country to anarchy
and destruction.
All of which shows how much real
honesty and sincerely lies back of
the Wall street criticism of President

RESULT OF N. Y. PRIMARY
Whitman Wins Republican Nomination
@ for Governor-McComb for
u. S. Senate.

New York, Sept. 20.-Early returns
from the statewide primaries indicat-
ed the following results:
Governor Whitman wins the Repub-
lican nomination over William M. Ben
nett by 10 to l.
William NJ. Calder of Brooklyn ap-
pears to have won the Republican SEN
atOrial nOmination,over Robert Bacon,
former ambassador to France. by a
close vote.
William F. McCOOmbs, former DEM
>ocratic national chairman, has won the
Democratic senatorial nomination over
Thomas +. Conway.
The Whitman-Seabury contest for
Progressive vote resulted in very
close race with indications that Whit
man has won by narrow margin
The vote was exceedingly light.
Judge Samuel Seabury was unop-
posed for the Democratic nomination
for governor.
Eugene M. Travis of Brooklyn won
the Republican nomination for state
comptroller by Il decisive majority
over James +. Hooker.
The greatest interest centered in the
contest for the Progressive vote
throughout the state. Early returns
show such a light Progressive ballot
that politicians found it difficult to
gauge the sentiment of the Moosers.
The Misunderstanding contest for the
Moose vote resulted as follows with
partial returns from q upstate cOun-
ties in:

ATTACK RUSS IN FRANCE
Champagne District, But Are
RepuIsed.

London, Sept. 2O.-A new battle
front in the Champagne developed I'M
expectedly when the Germans opened
an attack on the lines ut SOuain and
Somme. This part of the allied line
is held by Russian troops.
The Germans are reported by the
French war office in the afternoon
report to have made several violent at
tacks, all of which the Russians re-
pulsed.
This diversion by the Germans was
the only incident in the days fighting
Heavy rains along the lines from
Ancre to the Somme checked all in
fantry movements, although the ar
tillery was active.
In the Nerdun sector the Germans
undertook to recover the trenches on
Dead Mans hill taken by the French
yesterday. Their cOunter-attackS
failed.
