The Associated Press reports the ar

the Italian front. They have been sent,
1t appears, to the northern line on the
left, where the Austro-G German armies
have been trying unsuccessfully for
some days to drive "A thanking move
ment through. The dispatches say
nothing about the strength of the
Franco-Britisll columns, though they
note the inclusion Of artillery, infantry
and cavalry with the vanguard which
arrived Sunday within sound Of the
guns ON the firing line. 1t is added
that the Allied contingents have been
on the march Nr eight days, covering
III, that time about 10 miles. This ex-
plains the delay which had begun to
worry good many long distance Oh
servers.
The moral effect of this reinforce
ment should be very great, though the
morale of the Italian armies has been
excellent since their commanders or.
dered stand on the Iiave River line.
For days OH end they have beaten of

Terraclne Hill Lands.

Mr.. H. ]. Chatterton, Farm Demon
stration Agent over in Claiborne Par
ish. has the following to say about the
terracing Of hill lands in last weeks
issue Of the GMardian-J0Hrndl, pub
lished in Homer:
With the crops harvested on nest
farms, it Is time to begin to work and
plan to prevent our hilly soils from
being washed during the coming year.
Rolling land, which IL allowed to go
unprotected by system of good ter
races, may lose more fertile soil dur
ing few heavy rains than can be res
tored IN Fears. Land is becoming too
valuable and the necessity of raising
farger crops too important to allow
the hest part of the soil to be lost as
a result of neglect. The producing Gu
pacity of most of our soils could per-
haps be doubled in few years ii they
were prevented from washing. In adj
dition to this, the same soils would be
more than twice as valuable to their
owners.
For several years the farmers in
some of the communities in the south
ern portion of the parish have been
constructing terraces broad enough to
allow cultivat0rs to pass over them.
This type of terrace, where constructed
In the proper manner, is much better
than the narrow type of terrace. The
entire field can he made to produce and
the water will run off in broad, thin
sheet.
In order to stimulate the collstruc-
ton OF broad terraces OH hill farms,
the [. ). Department Of Agriculture
has instructed the demonstration
agents to give terracing demonstra-
lions. The agent in Claiborne Parish
hopes to be able to give demonstra-
ton in eaclr community of the parish
where broad terraces have not been
constructed.

KNITTING, KNITTING, KNITTING.

Some of he high schools of the state
are said to have organized knitting
clubs among the pupils. What the
girls land the boys, too. as to that
may happen to learn about knitting
will stand themselves and the soldier
at the front, who is often necessarily
exposed to the fury of the elements, III
good stead. 1t will be we'll for them to
know how to knit, and the garments
they produce will comfort the men we
should to-day feel keen delight in
befriending in every possible way.
We call to mind that some weeks ago
at Liberty Bond meeting ut the Court
House in this place one young lady
present was busy knitting. And at a
weekday Sunday school rally at a
Plain Dealing church we observed two
ladies at this same unSelfisll pastine.
The other night, at Il nearby home, We
saw Il little curly-haired miss. only
about ten years of age. busy with her
knitting. They are all at it, sir. Bless
the women folk. they are going to try
to shield the soldier boys on the front
from the chill winds of the winter.
And they will do it.
There are yarns to lie purchased.
You can help i'll this worthy work by
either contributing to any one of the
many Red Cross chapters. or through
becoming an active member of that or

lows an examination made by the

brushes gathered from twelve Of the
leading places Of the state. The regu-
lation is:

Establishments. etc, shall furnish any
hair brush for public use, and ITO per-
son, company or corporation shall per-
NIT in said places the use of the hair
rush in common
Another amendment passed, also of
interest, reads:
Ii any cemetery, company or asso-
ciation, or any church or historical SO
ciety or association. or any individual,
is III possession of auy record of births
or deaths which may be Of value in
establishing the genealogy of any resi-

ciety, association or individual may file
such record or duly authenticated
transcript thereof with the State Reg
istrar. and it shall be the duty of the
State Registrar to preserve such record
fern to facilitate the finling of any in
formation contained therein"
While tile effort to secure complete
registration of births of the current
year is commendable and imperative,
| it is believed interest may he stimu-
lated by urging adults to register their
own births SO that the record of every
individual in the state may be found III

The value of such records in the
years to come will be incalculable.

the Italians have exploded on their
own front the tradition of prrssian
-inyincibility as the French and Brit
ish and Belgians already bad exploded
it on the western front. Strengthened
by the newly arrived Franco British
contingents, there is excellent reason
to believe that they will hold their
present lines against all attacks, secur-
ing Venice against Prussian Kultur and
destroying the high hopes builded by
Berlin and Vienna upon the intrigue
which broke the Italian front.
If the Austro-Herman offensive
against Italy is definitely and finally
halted upon the present line, the Ger
man general staff may find that the
Italian adventure has supplied them
with new troubles. The lines of COM
nlunication and supply have been
heightened: large bodies of troops
must be maintained in Italy if the ter
ritory now occupied is to he held; and
meanwhile the French and British are
slowly but surely "caving in" the Hin
denburg line. Not only so, but the
trick-play by which the Italian front
was broken has been exposed and in all
probability will never be successfully
repeated. Finally. the Italian line has
Ieen unified" from the British Chan
mel to the Adriatic.
The outstanding achievement of the
Prussian autocracy this fall has been
political and not military. The i'll
trigue which placed Teutonic agents in
nominal control of petrograd and pro-
duced the collapse Of Russia's military
power was unquestionably serious
blow. But even there the Kaiser may
find that he did not dig his grave deea
enough. For we'll informed Russians
confidently predict that the Russian
democracy. rallied under strong lead
ership. will yet spew the Kaisermen
out Of the Russian capital and re-
establish its military power.
