GERMANS RUSH OVER DOBRUDJA:,
 TAKE 2 TOWNS
Medjidie and Prcdea| Fall Before Swift Avalanche of Central POWerS' Forces Across Rumania

Virtually the entire COnstanza- Tchernavoda railway line in Dob- rundja is now in the hands of Field Marshal Won Mackensens' victorious forces it appears from a Russian of- ficial statement today admitting the evacuation of Medjidie by the Rus- sians and Rumanians.
 Medjidie is approximately twenty miles inland from Constanza, the Black Sea portland terminus of the railway, the fall of which to the ar mics of the central powers was re- ported yesterday. Medjidie, further more, is but little more than 13 1-2 miles from Tchernavoda, where the Russo Rumanian forces apparently are preparing to make a stand at the bridgehead protecting the town. The only bridge over the Danube between Belgrade and the sea spas the river at Tchernavoda, carrying the railway line running to Bucharest.
 The Russo-Rumanian line now runs along the heights north of Con- stanza and Medijidie, according to the Petrograd announcement, the en- tente forces having fallen back upon these ridges after evacuating the towns.
 The SOmme front situation was little changed over night. London reports that the British have fully consolidated the ground gained by them yesterday in the neighborhood of Gueudecourt and Lesboufs, where the capture of 1000 yards of German trenches was reported.
 There was no infantry action along 1 the French lines in the Somme re-

Load Too Big.

We turned our party over to the pro-
gressive democrats in the last campaign
just to see what they would do with it,
with the result that the state ticket is
overwhelmingly defeated, democratic
county candidates in counties that have
heretofore been strongly democratic,
defeated, three democratic congress-
men defeated, nearly all democratic
legislative candidates defeated, state
platform. which is as barren of demo-
cratic principles as an egg of whiskers,
adopted, tired, frayed out democratic
party with but spark of life left in it
which can be famed into, a flame only
through the strenuous efforts of real
democrats who must now come to the
rescue or it will perish forever, left for
"a nucleus for disheartened democrats
to rally around.
With Wilson as a candidate, the state
should have gone democratic for presi-
dent and for state officers, and would
have done so but for the handicap I'M
der which the party was forced to la
Dor. What is the matter with the
Wisconsin brand of progressive demo
Gratis? 1t is simply this: They are Of
flee chasers pure and simple, men who
offer labor nothing but law, nothing
but theoretical platform declarations,
when labor wants jobs and plenty of
them. Our progressives cannot be
made to understand that theoretical
laws are not good substitute for jobs.
They cannot be made to understand
that laws are not legal tender for life's
necessities, without which labor, as
we'll as capital perishes. Our state
platform this year fairly bulges at the
sides with promises of law enactment,
but is as silent as the tomb on the sub
ject of greater opportunities for labor.

Wings and Wishbones.

Scientists call the ''wishbone" the
furcula, and 1t is the union of what
are in man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt Of the strokes Of the
wing that turn the creature in it's
fight.
Few of us appreciate the strength
of the stroke of the birds wing.~A
swan has been known to break a
mans leg by blow Of it's wing, and
in like manner the wing beatings of
the larger birds are dangerous if they
strike the human head or face. If,
therefore, a large bird is in the habit
Of making sudden turns to right or left
in its flight It must be fitted with a
''wishbone' capable of withstanding
the great strain of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanied by
action on the other. sr
For this reason we find in the eagle
and birds OF its class that turn quickly
a furcula that Is a perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the Goth
ic arch, which is the shape of the
"wishbone" of our common fowls. The
eagles furcula is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points Of weak
ness that make our sport Of breaking
the 'swishbone' possible.

How Some Of Them Are Named.

In "Blackfeet Tales of Glacier Ma
tional Park" J. w. Schultz says that
a visitor at his camp told this story
about the simple but absurd way in
which names are often selected:
A government employer was at Gun
sight pass, one Of the mast weirdly
beautiful places In this whole coun-
try, putting up tablet on which were
painted arrows that pointed to the diff
ferent mountains, the name Of each
peak alongside its particular arrow.
A tourist standing near and watch
ing the work suddenly exclaimed:
"Why, over there Is a peak which
seems to have no name. Can you not
name it after me 4
Certainly can,," the employee an.
swered. He painted another arrow
and inscribed beside it. ''Lehnert
peak"
"And over there is a fine waterfall"
the tourist said. will you please
name it after my little daughter ?''.~
''Sure!' said the man, and he paint
ed another arrow pointing to "Mary

THERE are two methods of comput-
ing the deficit in the United States
treasury, one is by ascertaining the
difference between ordinary receipts
and ordinary disbursements. The de-
ficit thus ascertained indicates the ex-
tent to which the administration has
been delinquent in the management of
the ordinary affairs of the government.
The other computation strikes the diff
ference between the total receipts and
total disbursements. The total dis
bursements include not only the ordi-
nary disbursements for the mainte-
nance of government service, but also
expenditures on account of the public
debt, operation of the Panama Canal.
On November 10, the deficit, according
to ordinary receipts and disbursements,
was $85, $40, 900, and according to total
receipts anh total disbursements was
$97, 712, 900. The later deficit is really
the amount the government is behind
in its finances for the present fiscal
year, which began July 1st. -~.~s..-

THERE are some sections of the
country that have become noted for the
quality of the live stock they produce.
In most instances this is found to be
the result of concentrated effort. The
state of Wisconsin offers asplendid IL
lustration of what can be accomplished
through community breeding associa-
tions. Here are to be found 1876 organ
izations devoted to the breeding of
high class live stock. Of this number,
1O8 are promoting cattle of the differ
ent dairy breeds; 2, beef cattle; TO-,
horses; 2, swine; and IA, general live
stock These associations have met
with marked success and prove conclu-
sively that community live stock breed
ing is not an experiment when thor
oughly organized and properly con-
Quoted.

Only Deserving Cows Lead in Dairy

p
One election is over, but another is
on in Wisconsin. "Watchful weigh
ing with feed at any price" are the
slogans In the campaign now being car
ried on in 81 counties of the state by
members of the Wisconsin cow testing
associations.
That it is always election day in
many Wisconsin dairy herds, with only
the deserving individuals getting the
safe majorities, is clearly shown by
the activities of testers employed CO.
operatively by local associations, the
College of Agriculture, the State Dairy
mems association and the United States
Department of Agriculture.
A total of 173 cows owned by asso-
citation members were defeated be-
cause they could not qualify as profit
able animals. Most of these were
sent to the butcher and oblivion.
That it pays to feed we'll the right
kind of cows, even though the feed is
high, is the opinion of the testing Off
Gals. Association members all know
which are the right kind of COWS, and
are going to feed them accordingly.
Ten carloads of feed were purchased
comparatively by these men last month.
According to the association reports,
scrub and grade bulls are on the re-
treat; IS pure bred bulls having been
purchased this year, of them to re-
place grade and scrub sires.
Although the separator is not high
iy complicated machine, one does get
out of order occasionally and it requires
the Babcock test of the skim milk to
detect the fat loss. Last month six
separators were found by testers on
their regular beats to be losing from
one-half to one per cent of fat, and
were either readjusted or replaced.
