BEARDED
WAR LIONS
Are Headed For Home With
Surprises For Their
Friends.

Lieut.. Lawson B. Flack has returned
from FL Paso, Tex, on month
leave of absence on account of the
death of his father, Mr.. f. M. Flack.
Mrs. Flack, who had been with him,
also came. Lieut.. Flack still has his
left temple disfgured by the remains
of a huge carbuncle that was in full
bloom on Christmas day, and made
his Christmas a memorable one. Like
all of the other boys Lieut.. Flack is
thoroughly worn out with the routine
of camp life and is hoping that his
regiment may be ordered home be-
fore ne has to return.
He brings the news that whiskers
are very much in evidence in Com
pany D. Capt. Ben Winfree, who is
still at Ell Paso, has turned out Var
Dyke beard and will need an intro.
duction to his best friends when he
gets back. Capt Henry Sites is still
sporting the Hughes face decoration
that he was threatening TO turn out
when he left, except that the Texas
climate has agreed with it and it has
taken on semi-tropical growth.
But here comes the greatest sur
prise of all. Lieut.. Alvin Clark has
turned out flowing red beard thai
reflects the rays of the Texas sur
with brilliancy equal to DR.. lsbell's
burnsides.
Lieut.. Clark started home with them
but may not risk them in Hopkins
vile.
Even Lieut.. Col. Bassett has caugh

ture brought home shows him with
very German looking moustache L

Fiercest Operations Now on
The Russian Battle
Line.
GERMANS TAKE TRENCHES
And TIA More Prisoners
Southwest Of
Riga.

The big battle between the Ger
mans and Russians over the frozen
Tirul marsh southwest of Riga con-
tinues undated. Further progress
for the Germans along both sides of
the IA river is reported by Berlin,
which claims an advance over front
of about six miles and the capture of
Russian positions together with four
teen officers and LIZA men and thir-
teen machine guns.
Petrograd admits that southeast Of
the river Russian troops had to fall
back a third of a mile, but says the
attacks by the Germans on the marsh
were repulsed.
Aside from this battle, the fighting
in the various other theaters continues
to be carried out mainly by the artille-
ry and small accommodating and raid
ing parties. In Rumania the extreme
ly cold weather has virtually put an
end to the operations for the moment.
Lively fighting has taken place on
the famous dead man hill" in the
Verdun region of France, but ne de,
tails of it have heen made public.
The British labor conference al
Manchester by vote of more than
to 1 has gone on record as being
against an immediate offer of peace
proposals. The following official com
munication was issued in London:

Home Garden Notes.

Spray roses and other shrubs that
have fungous diseases with Bordeaux
mixture.
Cut out all the dead wood in the
shrubs and trees that were killed by
the severe weather in February.
If there are a few trees and
shrubs still to be set out, and they
are on hand or can be gotten i'm
mediately, set them out.
If cutworms are apt to be injuri-
Gus, put little collar about each
plant when it is set out. These COL
lars can be easily made of writing
paper and held together with pin.
As soon as the Towering shrubs
have bloomed they should be pruned.
provided they are to be pruned at
all this year. Otherwise postpone
the pruning until after they bloom
next spring.
Plant flower seeds and set out the
plants that have been started in the
house. In the more northern Sec
tions of the South the setting of
plants can be delayed until very late
in March or April. Do not set out
the plants if there is still danger of
frost.
A great many roses were severely
injured by the February weather.
These should be cut back heavily.
Where they are budded or grated
be careful not to cut away all the
top, for then the plant will be lost.
Roses growing on their own roots
should send up shoots. Where shoots
are weak and sickly, cut back so as
to leave only a few shoots to be sup
ported by the roots until the plant
has overcome the injury. -S0utherH

the unique motive that prompted Sa.
tor Woolford, remarkably success

to pay the operating cost for two
years of a bureau of educational re-
search and educational guidance in
the Atlanta public schools.
His offer has just been accepted
by the municipal authorities and the
bureau will be launched in the near
future. Mr. Woolford will defray its
expenses for two years. at total cost
to himself of S12.0O0,an at the end
of that time he expects the benefits
of the bureau to have been so strik-
ingly demonstrated that the city
government will take over its support
and make it a permanent institution
in the city schools
BY means of the bureau a careful
survey of the city will be taken to
ascertain the needs Of business con-
Germs and employers generally, and
the schools will then undertake to
supply these needs by training young
men and women along specific and
definite lines.
MIR Woolford believes that most of
