Berlin SEES END OF
FIGHTING ON S0MME

Berlin, Oct 1S.-"The tragedy on
the Somme seems near a climax" says
a semi-official statement reporting
frightful French and English losses in
recent unsuccessful attempts to break
the German lines north of the river.
When the British rushed forward
for an attack near Guedecourt the
Sixth German infantry division left
their destroyed position and standing
in the face of the approaching enemy
turned loose rifle and machine gun
fire into dense masses of advancing
enemy troops.
The crowded columns were in some
places literally moved down.
Detailed reports show that the at
lacks between Oct 9 and Oct. 10 are
to be counted among the largest fight
ing actions of the whole Somme bat
tle," writes the military. critic of the
semi-official news agency.
''The object of these huge French
and English efforts were Bapaume and
Peronne"

CHAPTER xI.
Jos's Father Studies.

Joe went ahead with his prep.
arations on his W acre. the
same land that he had used the
~ last year. He had sowed 1t
down In rye as q winter cover crop
and to prevent washing of the soil and
at the same time to afford q winter
pasture for the stock and pigs. The
rye was to be turned under when the
ground was first broken in the spring.
Mr. Weston had planted six acres in
oats, but proposed to let them mature
after having been grazed by the stock
during the winter.
In his spare time Joe now hauled
leaves; but, since there was stock on
the place. the leaves were not applied
direct to the land. The cows and
horses were bedded In the leaves, and
q covered pen was built back Of the
barn into which the leaves and bed
ding from the stalls were thrown each
day.
"Ain't no use in buildin' a fertilize
pen, Joe," objected his father when the
subject was first mentioned. Just
pitch it out there under the caves, an
the rain and water II help rot it."

creek" said Joe. 1.-The water will take
most of the ammonia and a heap Of the
nitrogen and phosphoric acid and such
out of it. No; les keep it dry until we
are ready to apply it; then it will not
lose it's strength. There's q govern
ment bulletin on the care of barnyard
fertilizer. Haven't you read it?"

schoolin' in all my life as you've had
Already"
Joe felt sorry for his father. who
seemed sc keenly conscious of late re.
garding his own limitations. Joe
sought to make him feel easier.

but l have, and that's what it says
