Retirement of the Russians on the Caucasian front apparently has been underway for several days, although no announcement to this effect has come from Petrograd The official Turkish announcement of Monday said the Russians were withdrawing at various points.
 Mush is Ian imnortant town, SH miles southeast of Erzeroum, and 40 miles west of Lake Van. The Rus sians have been in possession of vr- tually all of Turkish Armenia since last year and there has been no indi- cation of any change in the military situation which would cause them to retire.

Military activities on all fronts in France and Belgium still are in a stage of apparent deadlock, but the great guns continue roaring in ducls and doubtless new phases of infantry action are developing.
 On no other fronts have there been engagements of importance. although the British in Mesopotamia have driv- en forward their line and made cap lures of men, guns and stores, while the Turks have forced the Russians from Mush in Turkish Armenia.
 That peace is not uppermost in the minds of all German officials is indi- cated by the address before the reich stag of Dr. Johnson Kaempf. presi- cent of the chamber, who asserted the German people adhered to the firm belief in Germans star and in q peace which will secure for all time the Fatherlard's development.

Introducing a Motor That Y
Developed by the War

For eight wears now the general public and the
automobile industry have learned 10 expect
great things Of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car
Company. Each one OF Our annual an
nounceulents has proved to be unusually
significant Zach one Ct these announcements

and the motor car buyer has invariably been

This year. we confidently predict will prove TO

trend of thought and practice in the SIX

we have produced what We sincerely believe
to be perfect motor car.
1t will probably be your first impulse TO condemn
this statement as extravagant and altogether
trnprovable We ask YOU however TO con-
slider straightforward statement OF the facts.
You will then be in position 20 accept or re-
jet our claims after thorough investigation
of the car itself.
We would first remind you that internal COM
bustion motors have been under the scientific
microscope for the past three years. ne
European war necessitated immediate devel-
opnlent in all fields of engineering, and the
gasoline engine has received more attention
than any other type OF power plant.
1t was quickly recognized that tractors, trucks
and aeropanes must be developed TO their

Old weaknesses we're routed out and discarded
for all time. Changes in design we're sug-
gested, applied and adopted, Constant ex-
pertinent and tireless scientific research would
not be denied-and. before long entirely new
principles and standards were firmly estab-

So without bubble or compromise, we started
at the very beginning and produced an en-
trely new design. ust what changes we're
made and lust hotU they were made would re-
CURE a small volume in the telling. But It IS
- IezllLLz that1nll interested it-atad these
we can lay before you.
In power, hexibility. quietness and economy OF
operation. the new Paige Essex Model six
IS is we believe, the most remarkable car
on the American market.
The last irregularity of the power impulses has
been done away with The car travels even
". smoothly and sweetly at every speed. AS
consequence, vibration has been reduced to
the absolute minimum One no longer rides
in bgc-he floats
The s.S5test depression Of the acceerator pedal
brings an immediate and truly amazing re-
suit 1t can only be compared to the I'M
eaShing of mighty. hidden forces. With no
sense Of laboring efort-no bucking or
side sway-the Essex sweeps ahead into its
full stride with the speedometer needle fran
ticaly attempting TO keep pace.
Despite its tremendous power, however, this new
motor is anything but gutton tor fuel. An
improved system Of CarburetiOn Utilities every
last atom OF gasoline energy, and repeated
factory tests have shown economy records
that surpass anything accomplished by earlE
CT TdlBe CHS.
To sum it all UP, scientific distribution of weight
scientific alignment Of working parts, scien-
tihc designing Of all chassis units-these are
the great factors that have united TO make
the Paige a superb mechanical product.
These. indeed are the factors that distinguish
between the old standards OF engineering and
the new.
And now there remains but one thing more TO be
said The Essex Model. as a whole, is strictly
in keeping with its wonderful power plant.
We started out with the deliberate intention OF
producing perfect motor car-and we have
accomplished just that result. From tire
carrier TO headlights the Essex Is fawless
There are no crudites no hidden weaknesses
no compromises
So far as beauty and elegance are concerned YOU
of course, know what TO expect. The Most
Beautiful Car in America speaks for itself.
IL is an exquisite creation an artistic
achievement as we'll as a mechanical master

BreauI Bridge High School.

We reproduce the report of the
Fields Force for the month of DC.
tober regarding the agricultural
department of the Breaux Bridge
high school:
This school was visited twice
during this month. On my second
visit l was accompanied by Mr.. H.
0. Sargent, who is connected with
the Federal Board in control. of
the Smith Hughes fund. Mr.. Sar.
gent seemed well pleased with the
condition of the school and farm.
Mr.. Guilbeau was very success.
full with his crop this year and the
gross sales of farm products should
reach nearly $500.
About two acres of June corn,
following crops of cabbage and
garlic, did well and will give fully
forty bushels to the acre. This
has been a very good demonstra.
ton, as everybody in the locality
believed that corn planted as late
as this was would not mature.
An acre of Irish potatoes follow
ing crop of onions will, notwith-
standing the drouth and early
freeze, make good yield. I am
sure that enough potatoes will be
harvested to pay all expenses of
cultivation and to furnish seed for
several acres next spring. This
farm is now in splendid shape for
another crop. All the land has
been plowed and is ready to be
planted when the rain falls.
The school work is also very
good and is being carried on along
the right line. l recommend that
the laboratory equipment for the
agricultural department be provi.
ded at the earliest possible date.

Sugar.

A preliminary estimate of the
production of sugar in Louisiana
for the 1917 season is in course of
preparation by the Bureau of Crop
Estimates. and it is planned to
issue the report sometime during
the month OF December, 1917.
According to reports furnished
by many cane growers to the Lou
isiana field agent of the Bureau,
the indicated increase in cane
acreage is IL per cent over that of
1916; and the growing condition of
sugar cane at time of harvest was
fixed at Sc per cent of a full crop
in the cane belt.

Bad Habit.

Too many of our business places
have a habit of leaving old adver.

selves or for others, in their show
windows. long after the matter fol
amusements is permitted to go be-
yond the date of the affair. In
some cases months after we see
much advertising. as if it were yet
to be had. This has no good eff.
feet on the visitor and renders
those who permit the oversight to
be subjected to unnecessary and
unfair criticism. To see advertis.
ing matter in any display window
thirty days after it has served it's
purpose indicates that possibly the
show window has not been dis.
turbed, dressed or cleaned in that
length OF time. 1t also advertises
indifferences, it in fact cheapens
the space thus used and gives the
next fellow coming along opportu.
nifty to monopolize it without any
consideration or appreciation. Any
advertising to which a date is at.
tached should therefore be prompt.
ly removed, as soon after it's date
as it can conveniently be done. If
the window is of any value, it's
value should not be questioned and
deprecated by dead advertising,
for in permitting such a condition
no good can come to the window
and certainly no advantage to the
business. Frequent changes in
show windows are restful to the
eye, engage attention, show
signs of life, energy and TASTE

-Muskrats as a solution for ma.

by local trappers, who assert that
more than 100000 pounds of
good meat is annually going to
waste along the upper Mississippi

to be forwarded to the national

out that the muskrats is a clean
