JUDICIAL OPINION ON THE
PRESS.

From a legal decision rendered by
the supreme court of Missouri:
1.-THE press disseminates practically
all of, the public news of the world
and large part of that which is per-
sonal; it imparts intelligence regard
ing the public health, public morals
and public safety, and materially aids
in the preservation Of the two former
and in defense of the latter; it is the
mouthpiece of the statesman and law
maker, and proc1aims to the world
how governmental affairs are admin
istered; it points to the capable and
honest official usually with just COM
mendation, and singles out the inefffc
lent and those deref1ct in duty; and
as a rule it is at the head of those coll
lecting and disbursing public charity.
Moreover, the press is great educa-
tor in literature, art and science, and
points out their beneficient influence
upon the home, morality and religion;
it enables the poor who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow to
procure employment, to familiarfze
themselves with the best and cheapest
necessities of life, and the most re-
liable places where they may be pro-
cured"

To My Friends, and the Public:
Have You Contributed to the Red
Cross Fund?
The above query is pertinent at the
present time, and is proposed not only
in the interest of that fund but also In
the interest of those persons who may
have neglected to make such con-
tribution, lest they in the future may
be burdened with lifelong regret that
they too did not contribute toward al
leviating the suffering of our boys who
have, and will, offer their service.
Yes: 1t may be even their lives in the
interest of our country, and universal
freedom.
We are now engaged in a gigantic
war; the greatest the world has ever
known. War means battles, battles
mean wounds, mean ensanguined bat
tie fields. But few OF our soldiers or
sailors have yet departed Tor the scene
Of action, although millions have en-

gone on trains. But only few leaves
ever go along
"'Tell me why you don't last longY
asked the Fairy.
Because, said the Leaves, we are

taken. We are not nice any longer.
We can never do the same work again.
But the Leaves continued there

roots. These are started off again,

Fairy, that you don't do the same

No. said the Leaves cheerfully, it

warm sun and we have had our re-

HOMER McKEE'S PRAYER.

X ...++.s.t.t-+ .+.t-+.t-+.+.s..i.. \
Teach me that sixty minutes make
an hour, sixteen ounces one pound
and one hundred cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that can lie
down at night with a clear conscience,
without gun under my pillow, and
unhaunted by the faces of those to
whom I have brought pain.
Grant I beseech thee, that T may
earn my meal ticket on the square,
and in doing thereof that I may
not stick in the gait where it does not
belong.
"Deafen me to the jingle of faint
ed money and the rustic of unho1y
skirts
Blind me to the faults of other
fellows, but reveal to me my own.
"Guide me to the faults of other
fellows, but revaeT to me my own.
Guide me SO that each night when
look across the supper table at my
wife, who has been a blessing to me,
will have nothing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose myself in
their play
And then when comes the smell of
flowers, and the thread of soft steps,
and the crushing of the hearse's
wheels in the gravel out in front of
my place, make the ceremony short
and the epitaph simple:
1HERE LIES A MAN."

In a bulletin just issued by Harvey
Wired, director of the department OF
lrm markets for Idaho, the follow
ng suggestions are made for the con-
servation of fruit:
AS the apple takes the lead in quaint
ity grown in Idaho, we will use this
fruit as a basis for estimating the
loss to this state, and to the growers
by the absence of evaporators to care
for the fruit that cannot be shipped
for different reasons, none of which
makes them unstable at the evapor-
ator
The estimated number of cars that
will be shipped this year is 5000; this
represents 70 per cent of the apples
grown which leaves a loss of about
1000 cars, equivalent to 10000 tons,
for which the evaporation would pay
$1,000 per ton, and the growers would
get 100000 for what is now waste
and always will be until evaporators
are established, and there will come
a day when orchards will be pulled
up as sure as the existing conditions
continue.
How Apples Are Saved
At the evaporating plant the apples
are pared, cored, and sliced, then
spread on trays and put into the evap-
orator, and when finished they are
sulphured to brighten them and then
they are ready for market either in
sacks lor packed in boxes. They
should be graded so that the, larger !
can be packed as a choice grade and
the smaller ones sold as lower
grade. If the owner of the evaporation
cares to stay in the business, he will |
be careful to so mark the boxes that |
people will know they are buying an
apple of the same quality but of a
smaller size; the buyer must not De
led to think that he is getting from
one packer for less money the same
grade as another packer asks more
for
One Million Dollars
The estimated prune crop will be
1000 cars, and one of the best posted
prune men in the state says that so
per cent should be avaporated and in
some localities will be, but in many
it will be lost, complete waste. The
loss can be computed in dollars and
cents in the same manner as with ap-
pies, only add $500 and even $1,000 ,
to the price per ton. This will add ,
another 100000 year to the loss ;

German Retreat.
FRENCH GAIN AT VERDUN
Paris Reports Further Advance In
That Section, With Capture Of Five

sive Continues to Force Back Aus
TRANS on the lsonzo Front.

London, Aug. 22-Canadian troops
around Lens launched another attack
on the western environment of the
French mining city at 4:30 a. m. The
attack developed into one of the most
desperate hand-to- hand battles of the
war.
When the Canadians went over the
top they saw masses of gray figures
advancing toward them in the thick
haze Both sides had planned the at
tack at the same moment.
Fifteen minutes after the clash
came the Germans were making their
last stand on the parapet of their
trench. They then retreated rapidly.
The German reaction to the sue
cessful French stroke at Verdun came
during the night and the new French
lines stood firm in the face Of counter
attacks Of extreme violence. On the
front north of Verdun, especially at
Avocourt wood and north of Courieres,
the fighting was particularly bitter,
the French war office reports. The
Germans, beaten back, met with heavy
losses. The number of prisoners
taken by the French now exceeds
5000.
Italians Take 10000 Prisoners.
Rome announces that more than
10000 prisoners were taken by the
Italians in their new offensive.
The great battle of the Isonzo front
continues without interruption, the
Rome war office states, and adds that
the Austrian line is beginning to bend
and give way at various points.
The Italians. supported by floating
and fixed batteries and monitors, are
marching toward success, which, the
statement says. is becoming delineat-
cd in spite of undiminished enemy re-
sistance.
Enemy defenses between Corite and
Selo, near the strongly fortified Sta
rilokva position. have been captured by
the Italians.
The Germans have returned to the
attack on the Aisne front, striking at
Cerny and Hurtebise. Paris reports
the repulse of these assaults.
Heavy fighting continues on the
Southern Rumanian front. The Rus
slams and Rumanians are offering stiff
resistance but. Petrograd reports Off
cially, have been forced back farther
at several points.
The new Russian offensive on the
Caucasian front has resulted in fur
ther victories. Capture of a series OF
villages south of the Pelmir Balumer
sector is reported by the Russian war
Office.
