CAVALRYFINDS
NO TROUBLE IN
OUSTING TURKS
General Maude's Victory al
Ramadie Robs Opponents OF
Last Line of Retreat

LONDON General Maudes victory
al Ramadie in Mesopotamia was tho
result OF a battle Of the old pic'ur
escue style, before the war OF IN
action swept the spectacular elem"h'
out f moicIn warfare.
The ,Ip,ement which determined
the whole action was the sudden
swinging around OF the British right
until II became the Ieft. and the en-
circlnC movement Of the cavalr!
which robbed the Turkish garrison OF
its la free line OF retreat, The idea
was admirably executed, but even
the staff strategists OF the British
army scarcely anticipated the sur
render OF the whole Turkish force
without a blow by the waiting cav
airy
The British eyewitness, writing
from Ramadie, says in his account
OF the battle:
We captured Ramadie today, and
with il the whole Turkish garrison
including its commander. Ahmed Beg.
and a number OF field guns. pom
poms. machine gus and rifles.
Our force vi wed in two columns
on the night Of September - from an
advanced camp on the EuPhrates'
vest OF Feluja, one column on the
right, the other on the left, and al
dawn they attacked Mushaid Ridge
10, line OF dunes running north and
south from the Euphrates to the Hab
'aniyah canal.
TO clear the ridge and cross the
canal was eur first objective. The
first knobs we're quickly occupied. At
dawn we bembsrded the main crest
Of the ridge, but the Turks had evac-
uated 1t.
I'VE then changed our line Of at
tack. The right column was with
drawn. and swinging round west be-
hind the left column became the LETT
wing II the force. Our freHt, three
and a halt miles in breadth, new lay
between the Habbaniyah canal or
the right and Aziziyah canal on the
eft. at a point nine miles from the
Euphrates.
Our cavalry made a wide sweep
ing movement across the desert
round the right flank OF the Turks
and occupied a line f're miles west
of Ramadia. BY this move the Turks
we're corRered. Their only chance was
to drive I'm determined counter-at.
tacks and to break through before we
drew the ring in closer.
The expected attack began after
3 o'clock the next morning when tn
Turks tried to break through between
the cavalry and the river The &C
ton continued for two hours till
dawn, when it desenerated into cas-
ual aniping. e. The 4, nearest Turkish
dead were found within 30 yards Of
the cevalry2trsaSAes.1 zz'sssssaee .ssIs-=
soon after daybreak the. infantry
column took up the attack again, and
carried the last outlying defenses Of
the Turks on our left. An intense
bombardment was opened on the
Turkish trenches ~ =.
Our line OF cavalry, far away west,
soon saw the dark masses of the
enemy approaching and apparently
prepared for bloody battle. The Turk.
ish guns were silent, and white flags
went up all along the line. II was a
general surrender Ahmed Bey, the
Turkish commander, who has been on
the Euphrates all through the cam.

fronted us at Easarayah all last sum

Enrolment in Boys And Girls Clubs Spir- ited---Ashley And Conway Counties
 Leading

The county and home demon stration agents throughout the state are making big effort to make 1917 the banner year in the boys and girls club work. Already more than 5000 memI bers have been registered. Up to the present time Conway and Ashley counties lead. but there is no reason for them remaining in the lead. What is your cour- ty doing? If we have the boys and girls, why not enroll them? The present corn and cotton clubs for the boys and the -poul- try and canning clubs for the girls will do much to interest them in the farm and farm work.

to partly hold together Chicks matched under hens are always infested with head lice. Apply a mixture of coal oil emulsion or use some coal tar insecticide ac- cording to instructions at like periods. The emulsion is made by dissolving a quarter pound of soap in a quart of water, set oyer the fire; while still hot add a quart ot coal oil and churn it with spray pump or paddle until it forms a thick creamy emulsion then add enough water to make five gallons. If diarrhea appears try to find out the cause and re
 move before attempting to cure
 A diarrhea is the prominent symptom of most all baby chick ills. It may be caused by cold from getting wet, by indigestion, too much sameness of diet, lack of green feed, lack of grit, etc. If the outbreak is not serious, as indicated by the brood being af-
 fected, reduce the amount of feed and give boiled sweet milk to which has been added a dash of peppermint. If large major ity of the brood becomes ill with diarrhea about the same time and the trouble does not yield with the above treatment applied infections white diarrhea may be suspected. If numbers droop and die. the entire brood should be destroyed and burned, the coop and all accessories disinfect ed and the ground purified by cultivation. Then consult your county agent in regard to ridding your place of the infection.
 When the chicks have reached a half pound in weight they should be supplied with corn chops two parts and wheat one part in feed hopper to which the grown fowls do not have ac- cess. At two pounds in weight all cockerels not needed for breeding purposes should be marketed. They will bring more at this time than later on. In

served as Tag day" in this city as a
factor for raising money for the Y. M.
c. A.. war fund and the event was Al
highly successful one from financial
viewpoint. The affair was conducted
under the auspices of the high school,
it's different classes being competitors
in securing tag receipts. At the close

class credits were as follows: Senior
class. 1924; Junior class, ss4.61; soph-
omore class, s125.22; freshman class,
