returned last spring. The purpose of
this demonstration was to encourage
more farmers to keep accounts and
watch the factors which affect their prof
it's. Twentv-six records have been tax
en- over from those farmers interested in
the proposition and few new ones add
ed These are to be summarized and re-
turned later. About 80 account books
were distributed 80 another year it is
hoped TO increase the number of records

on your farm another year, please let
the county agent know and he will see
if you can be included in his list. While
around to the farmers clubs this winter,
he may be able to take few records in
this way and start You in this new and
simple method of keeping accounts.
Three days of the past week have been
spent in Burlington at the annual confer
ence OF county agents. In this confer
ence we practiced what we are urging
the farmers to do inathe farmers clubs,
get together and talk over problems.

the effort, as we left Burlington with
many new ideas regarding methods OF
carrying on our WORK, Il kHoNleuge Oh
the experiences of other county agents
along the same lines of work we are do
ing, and in our summary OF the work of
the week a definite program OF work out
lined for another year. From these rec
concentrations the farmers are to be
asked to pick the problems most inter
esting them and the work of another
year to be concentrated on the problems
which seem to the farmers of most inn
portance. By concentrating on few
lines of work, more can be ccomplished
than by spreading ourselves over SO
many subjects. All need work, but some
things seem to us to need it most. Dairy
problems called forth the most discus
sion at this meeting. The problem OF
producing milk at a lower cost and of
marketing at higher price is in our
opinion the biggest in the state at pres
emit. We cannot expect the consumer to
pay for the inefficient management we
find on many farms keeping poor cows,
scrub bulls and inefficient orzinsuflicient
feed nor can we ask the producer to sell
milk from average or better than the
average herds at less than the cost OF
production including a fair profit to the
producer. Let us talk these matters over
this winter at our farm meetings and
our neighborhood gatherings and see IT
we cannot work together on this prob
lem.

Broadside of Superdreadnaught Ari-

New York, Oct. 18.-The crew of
the new superdreadnaught Arizona,
which takes her place today in the
battle line of the Atlantic fleet with
her sister ship, the Pennsylvania,
came from the older battleships Kan
sas, New Hampshire and Vermont,
recently transferred to the Atlantic

ficer of Arizona pointed out that the
Arizona's twelve 14einch guns throw
5000 pounds more in a broadside than
was contained in the combined broad
sides of the Kansas, Vermont and New
Hampshire. The Arizona broadside
weighs about ten tons and can be
hurled about twenty miles. The other
three ships combined carried twelve

TAKESu.S. STAhDJOHN'S IRISH UP!
Redmond Makes Attack on
British Rule i'm Ireland.
Not Consistent With Principles
Allies Are Fighting For.

London, Oct. 18.-The Irish ques-
ton was again brought to the fore in
the house of commons today with the
introduction by John Redmond of a
motion criticising the system of gov
ernment of the island. The motion
reads:
THAT the system of government at
present maintained in Ireland is not
consistent with the principles where
and is or has been mainly responsible
for the recently unhappy events and
for the present state of feeling in that
country
Mr.. Redmond gave notice of his in
tention to attack the government. The
Irish leaders have held a number of
conferences with Baron Wimborne,
lord lieutenant of Ireland, but these
probably had more to do with the
suggestion of extension of conscrip-
tion to Ireland than with the griev-
martial law and the failure to release
all those arrested during the uprising
in ireland last spring.
Didn't Talk COnscription.
However, the question of conscrip-
ton did not come under Mr.. Red
monds motion. It doubtless will be
discussed tomorrow when the whole
subject of the man power of the en-
pire comes under review. John Raw
linSon. moved as an amendment to the
Redmond motion the following:
Having regard for the Importance
of the United Kingdom and Ireland,
combining with the rest of the empire
in presenting a united front to the
enemy, it is not desirable at the pres
ent time to discuss controversial mat
terS of domestic politics."

INVASION HALTED
Rumanians Put Spike in Ad-
vance of TeutOns.
Heavy German Assault on
Somme Meets Repulse.

London, Oct 18.-Offlcial an
nouncements today from the entente
side report an effective stand by the
Rumanisns against General Won Fal-
kenhayn's armies along the Transyl-
vapia border and the sanguinary re-
pulse by the French of heavy German
assaults on the new French position
in Sailly-Saillisel on the SoDlme front.
The approach of the cold season Is
accompanied by TO diminution in ac
tivity in most of the European battle
areas. In some of them, indeed, the
efforts of the belligerents apparently
are being redoubled. This seems no
tably true along the eastern front
from Volhynia to Rumania whence
continuous fighting IS reported with
virtual deadlock the result SO far.
Further south the attempt of the CEN
trail powers to drive a wedge between
the Russians and Rumanians near
Dorna and Watra in the southern
Carpathians, is in an uncertain stage.
Berlin has reported the capture of
some heights, but Petrograd claims
the repulse of all the Teutontc attacks.
Tide of Battle Changes.
Temporarily at least the tide of bat
tie apparently has changed along the
Pennsylvania border. Berlin has con-
ceded the stiffening of the Rumanian
, resistance along this front and Bu-

From the Rumanian viewpoint all
the military news is reassuring, it is
declared. Russian troops in force are
reported helping the Rumanians to
defend the passes from Transylvania
| into their territory.
On the Somme front German at
tacks were delivered against the
French line both north and south OF
the Somme. Three assaults by the
Germans upon the. French in Sally
Saillisel are declared by Paris to have
been repulsed with heavy losses to the
Germans, who also were repelled after
they had gained a footing in a French
| first line near Berny-En-S -Santerre
south of the river.
On the British front in the Somme

forces between the Albert Bapaume
road and Lesboeuf is reported despite

TO ANNUL MARRIAGE
French Duke Petitions Church to
Sever Bonds With Austrian Wife.

Paris, Oct. 1S.-The Duke of Orleans
is about to apply to the court of Rome
for the annullment of his marriage to
the Archduchesse Marie Dorothea of
Austria, according to the Figaro. The
duke contends that the marriage was
not concluded on the Austrian side in
accordance with all the requirements
of ecclesiastical law.
The Duchess of Orleans won a suit
for separation in January, 1914 It
was reported that she charged the
duke with neglect owing to the fact
that she was childless. At the out
break of the war the duke in send
ing back the insignia of the golden
fleece to the Austrian emperor wrote
that his marriage had been the curse
of his life
