MONAST|R OCCUPIED
 BY FRENCH TROOPS
THE GERMAN AND BULGARIAN FORCES ARE DRIVEN FROM
 SERBIAN CITY.
TURNED BIG GUNS ON FOE
With Monastir in Their Possession 1t Is Expected That the Serbs Will Set Up a Government On Their
 Own Soil as the Capital.

Paris--French troops captured from the German and Bulgarian forces the chief southern Serbian town of Monastir, the French War Department reports.
 The campaign for Monastir has ex- tended over a period of several months, with the French and British troops from Saloniki and the reorgan- ized Serbian army participating For many weeks the battle seemed draw, but recently the Bulgarian-G German line began 10 yield, and since then the allied forces have been steadily driv- ing back their enemies. The advance was always slowly, but each day the reports told of small gaIns.
 Last week the French and Serbian forces took possession of the crest of the hills to the south of Monastir, and threatened to reduce the city with their heavy artillery. The German position apparently became untena- ble and the Germans and Bulgars withdrew. The Germans are now said to occupy hills north of the city
 Another Franco-Serbian force that has been driving upon Monastir from the southeast is continuing to gain ground. having recently taken several more small towns in that region
 With Monastir in their possession, it is expected that the Serbs will set up a government on their own soil with the reeaptured city as the capi- tai.
 News of the occupation if Monastir was received in Paris as one of the most important of the recent develop ments of the War.
 The Temps says that the success is not only of immense moral value, but is likely to have a great influence on subsequent developments in the Bal kan campaign, as the place commands all the practical routes between the Aegean sea and the Adriatic sea-

IMPLEMENT SHED IS NEEDED
Exposure to Elements Causes Ma chinery to Rust and Deeay-Lit-
 tie Care Will Save Money

From now till next spring most of the implements of cultivation will not be used, nor will be planters. The place for them. and for all implements not in use every day, is under the shed. Why? What does a man work for? Implements cost money. Ex. posture to the elements causes them 10 rust, warp and decay. When they are gone more work must be done to get more money to buy more imple. ments. when just little work and q little care Ut the right time would have made them last year or two or three longer.

Crushed!

A certain worthy bishop was very fond of quiet smoke, and he did not think that the habit was out of keeping with his high office The archdeacon of the diocese, however, thought diff ferently, and did not hesitate to pro- claim his opinion. On one occasion the archdeacon was the guest of the bishop, and preached ut the cathedral evening service. Having returned to the episcopal palace, he was gazing from the library window when he de teeted the bishop walking in the gar den below, smoking cigar, as he thought, in safe privacy. "Ah, bishop, said the archdeacon, as he opened the window. "so I have caught you burn ing incense to the devil" Perhaps you have" retorted the bishop; but I didn't know he was so near"

STRAW ADDS HUMUS TO SOIL
One of Most Pressing Needs in Many of Small Grain Dstricts-Main-
 tains Fertility.

Straw is important for maintaining soil fertility-not only what goes out onto the soii in manure but also what can be spread direct from the stack Machinery Is on the market for spread ing straw which does good work. One of the most pressing needs of the soil in many of our small grain districts is hunus. Lacking in this important fac tor, decaying organic matter, it does not produce as once 1t did and it feels the damaging effect of dry weather more quickly By working straw into the soil intelligently, much humus k added.
