area of Russian successes over the
Austro-German forces in the east con-
tinues TO widen. Although the situa-
tion around Czernowitz has not vet
been cleared up. officially il appears
from advices from Russian sources
that the Austrians are hard pressed
over a long line OF defense and are
throwing huge reinforcements into
the district. The Russians here are
expected to strike at the Kolomea-
Stanislau-Halicz line. where powerful
defensive works have been in prepara-
tion for some time by the Austro-Ger-
mans.
Meanwhile the Russian position $50
miles further north on the middle Styr
river has been greatly strengthened
by successful operations in the region
of 'he great marshes. where the Rus
SLAMS are beginning to emerge from
the marshes with prospects OF being
able to use the roads leading either
northwest. west or southwest Their
advance here has not been the result
of an isolated battle. but Of a series OF
engagements lasting over a consider

that the Russian offensive has com

powers for an invasion of Saloniki and

SUPREME COURT UPHELD
 VALIDITY OF MEASURE

Little Rock, March 28.-The Su- preme Court has upheld the validity of the Woods Nuisance Act passed by the last legislature, declaring q nuisance any building wherein intoxi- eating liquors are sold in violation of law. In the J. E. Hickey case, suit had been brought to enjoin Hickey from using a building as an office in which to solicit orders for liquor to be delivered by a company at Mon cite, Mo. "The gist of the offense," !" says the court, lis the soliciting of orders in prohibition territory and the penalties of the statute are de- nounced against the licensed liquor dealer whether in or out of the state" Under the Woods act, the circuit court is given the power to abate the nuisance by injunction.

RAISE TWO CROPS A YEAR.

The Southern farmer, to make the most money, must raise two crops q year off every field, one a marketable crop and the other soil improving crop. He can SOW crimson clover or bur clover in the fall between rows of cotton or corn, turn under Tn the spring the heavy growth they make and plant the land to corn or cotton. Cow peas should be planted between the rows of corn at the last cultiva- tion, giving the land in corn two fer tilizing crops within 12 months.
 Winter oats and wheat are sown in the fall and lespedeza can be broad casted on the land in February or March. This clover will grow from the time the grain is harvested until frost. Another way is to SOW COW peas on land as soon as the wheat or oats are removed.

London, March 27-The British and Germans have been fighting fiercely in the region of St. Eloi, five miles northwest of Arras. The British, through the explosion of big mine and infantry charges, have captured or destroyed a considerable portion of the German trenches The British infantry took first and second line trenches along a front of 600 yards, and Berlin admitted that German trenches were blown up and casualties caused.
 Again the bomhardnert has become intense in the northwest and northeast of Verdun, and considerable activity by the big guns has been shown in the Woevre region southwest of the for tress. The time seemingly is not ripe, however, for an infantry attack, and the men of both sides have lain

Holdings of Clergy, Including
 Realty, Jewels and Works of
 Art Would Equal Amount to Clean up Economic Difficulties

Mexico City, March 27.-The pub lished announcement that the govern ment is considering the advisability of taking over all the personal and realty holdings of the Catholic clergy created a sensation here this morning.
 In special dispatch from Quere- taro, Fl Democrata, the official organ, quotes both Secretary of the Treas ury Cabrera and Dr. Surob, governor of the state of Guanajuato, as saying that the measure would be made eff fective under the law dating back more than half century when church edifices were seized during the ad- ministration of Benito Juarez.
 The clergy in the states of Nichoa- can, Puebla, Queretaro and Jalisco are reputed to be immensely wealthy in jewels, land and works of art, which are held in trust for the church. II

smaller weeklies have thrown up their hands, as it were, in despair, while even the city dailies have been forced to turn down" ads for lack of suace Never before have the aspir- ants for office paid such substantial tribute to the power and efficiency of the press as an advertising medium. There is no way of estimating the thousands of dollars that has been spent with the newspapers, and that very fact has had a tendency in many cases to bring about an editor nl neutrality that would have seemed strangely out of place with the jour nalism of fifty years ago. The can didates have realized at last that Stump-speaking is we'll enough, but that it is very expensive and the audi eaces restricted. Circulars and broad sides and posters do some good, but they are also expensive and of ques- tonable merit. But newspaper ad- yertislng reaches the voters in the most effective manner. Thus again has the power of the press been dem onstrated Political advertising, which was used only in limited way a few years ago, has developed into a fine art.

French shells are falling on the German posi- tions in the Argonne and northeast of Sa. Mihiel salient.
 The Germans are obstinately re- sisting the Russian attacks between Dvinsk and Wilma, but the Russians have captured two lines of their trenches to the northwest of Postavy. Twenty bombs have been dropped by German airmen on the town of Dvinsk. In the Black Sea littoral the Russians are still making progress against the Turks. In the Italian op- 'erations in the Gorizia region the Austrians have captured an Italian position on Podgora heights.
 Washington is waiting with some anxiety the investigation into the ex- plosion that damaged the Sussex and the incident of the Englishman.

USE GOOD SIRES.

The most extravagant thing any farmer can do is to use scrub sires for breeding stock. A calf from a grade COW and a pure-bred beef bull is worth $10 more at six months than a calf sired by scrub bull. A colt sired by pure-bred Percheron or a Coach stallion or a Hackney stallion is easily worth $25 more at weaning time than a colt sired by scrub. A litter of pigs sired by pure bred Duroc or Poland China or a Berk- shire male will net, at eight months, three times as much as litter sired by scrub. Farmers can we'll afford to pay good service fees for the use of pure-bred sires.
