FRENCH EFFECT
GAIN OF GROUND
(By Associated Press)


News from the Flanders front is of
scant proportions, the most important
item being an announcement in the
British official report that the French
again have affected gain of ground
on their front northwest of Blk
schoote.
No mention is made in either the
British or the French statement of the
extent of the artillery activity which
yesterday was giving indication o:
growing intensity.
The front in France was inactive
last night except for the customary
artillery bombardment in the Aisne
region and somewhat lively raiding
operations on the part of the French
forces.
The stiffening of the Russian defen-
sive is at least slowing down the Teu-
tonic advance, having apparently
checked it altogether in some sectors.
The slight increase in the number
Of British vessels sunk by submarines
Or mines last week a shown by yes
terday's report is coupled with the an
nouncement of an increase also in the
French losses for that period, al
though the total is as usual notably
small Four vessels of the class of
1900 tons or more were sunk, as
against two the preceding week and
two vessels Of the smaller tonnage as
compared with one.
Italy's losses were two steamers
and one small sailing vessel as against
four sailing vessels unk in the preced-
ing weekly period.

SIX Of ELEVEN
TRUSTEES FOR
COUNTY AGENT
Only One of Other Five Was
Opposed to Plan Personal
ly.

Six Of the eleven trustees that at
tended the meeting in the court
house Wednesday for the purpose Of
discussing the proposition offerd by
T. A. Coleman, OF Purdue university
for the sending of county agr1cul-
tural agent to Wayne county, favored
the hiring of county agent.
OF the five men that opposed the
hiring Of an agent, only one declared
that he was personally against the
MEASURE The others gave as their
reason for opposing county agent
the fact that the farmers in their
townships did not want an agent.
This fact should not keep trustees
from voting for an agent, however. &C.
cording to Mr.. Coleman, who declared
that farmers generally opposed the
hiring of an agent because they did
not understand the work carried on
by the agent
Cites Instances.
Several instances were given by Mr..
Coleman where agents who had been
hired In opposition to the wishes OF
farmers later proved invaluable to the
community in which they worked. One
instance given by Mr.. Coleman show
Gu WucIc llc CAQ0II dQVlCo VI d COOu'
ty agent waved several hundred acres
OF valuable corn fields from an invas-
ion by the army worm.
In this county" Mr.. Coleman said
the agent was not hired through the
unanimous consent of the farmers.
After some time, however, the men Of
the community began to come to the
agent for advice.
"One Saturday man came to the
office of the agent with strange look
ing worm. He told the agent that this
worm had destroyed a clover field on
his farm and asked whit could be
done to destroy the worm.
After investigating the conditions
under which the worm destroyed the
clover, the agent discovered that the
pest was the army worm, and at once
set about to destroy the worm.
lat the advice of the agent, every
farmer in the community gathered at
tn farm where tn worm was at work,
and following the instructions of the
agent, soon routed out the pest that,
II left alone would have done great
damage In the community"
This was only one OF the many in
stances where farmers were benefited
by the county agent. and with the as
sistance of the Purdue extension de-
partment this benefit will be greatly
increased.

stump by asking every representative
and senator to go through his district
during the recess, speaking on the
part of the United States in the war
and emphasizing that the United
States is fighting for the future, not
of the world but of itself.
Those who favor the plan point out
that the country is hearing many agi-

the other side of the question and from

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Congress
may turn itself into a great chautau

tighten every section of the country
on the need for prosecuting the war
vigorously, not only as a war for world
democracy but as a fight for American

Today's Anniversary

Sir John Vaudeville. whose adven-
turous career came to an end at
Liege 545 years ago today, Nov. II.
1872, was the first Englishman to Wis
it the Far East and write an account
of his travels in the English Ian
guage. Sir Johns account of his
journey into unknown lands sounds
very much like Baron Munchausen,
for he apparently accepted as sober
truth all the legends and wonders
which were poured into his credulous
ear. Seemingly he was ready to be-
lieve anything, and the Chinese and
Tartars must have had a lot Of fun
"spoofing'' the traveller from the west.
For two centuries after his death his
work was recognized as an authority
on all questions Of oriental geography,
but, if Sir John confined himself to
the truth, the East has changed a lot
since he wandered over it. and he
would never know the old place now
Some historians believe that Mande-
vile was the fDoc" Cook Of his age
but the majority think he really visit
ed theN countries he described, but lei

in telling about them.

OF Prince of Orange

Dutcfmen will celebrate today the
104th anniversary of the restoration
of the House of Orange, now repre-
scented by Queen Wi1helmina. to the
throne of Holland, and the establish
ment of the Netherlands constitutional
monarchy upon the crumbHng founda-
lions of the Dutch Republic. The re-
call Of the Orange princes on Nov. IT,
1913, followed soon after the battle OF
Leipsic The Dutch were not slow to
seize the opportunity to throw off the
Napoleenic yoke and seek to regain
for their little country a place among
the nations. Belgium was included in
the independent kingdom Of the Uni
ted Netherlands, but, after several
revolutions and wars, Belgium was
separated from Holland in 1881.
For a quarter OF a century prior to
the establishment Of the House of
ORANGE. Holland was constantly in a
state of disorder, Civil wars were fol-
lowed in 1893 by tbs appearance of
the French republicans in Holland.
The people declared in their favor,
and In 1875 the >Batavian republic
was founded in alliance with France.
In 1906. after g. war with England,
Holland became a kingdom with
Louis Bonaparte, father of Napoleon
III. as king. He abdicated in 1903,
and Holland was united to the French
empire. It remained under the domt-

AMERICANS HAVE
BEEN SPOILED, BY
Great PROSPERITY

The American has been spoiled by
Smith, Chief of the Bureau of Fisher
les. He said in recent interview,
There is no question that chicken
and beef tea are delightful FOODS.
They come to hand ready for the
oven. The American likes them. He
has plenty of money with which to
buy, so he INDUCES in these meats
for which he has formed a habit.
There has never been the pinch Of
poverty that would drive the Amer1-
can to cheaper food.
The element Of habit goes even
further. When the housewife de-
cides she will buy fish, there are but
two or three varities that enter her
mind. She is familiar with halibut,
cod, salmon, mackere1. She natur-
ally asks for one of these varities be-
1t comes in to her mind. She has
not been educated as to other fish
possibilities. If she lives in Wash
ington and orders salmon, she gets a
fish that was caught in Alaska, that
has been refrigerated for six weeks,
has had a journey across the CONT
nent. It has borne the expense of
this handling and of passing through
several middlemen. It. is expensive
and is not fresh.
This housewife has made a bad
buy. She has acted as do her sisters
throughout the nation on the rare
occasions when they use fish. The
lack of success in these ventures
discourages fish purchasers They
say that their fish cost them, as
| much as do other meats. This true,
but it is not necessarily trpe. They
could have bought better fish for
much less money had they followed
the right program.
Buy the cheaper fish in the mark
ct. Local fish are cheap. Not all
local fish will suit the customer. but
by experimenting with those that
are offered, the housewife will soon
find the varfties that her family
likes. If many housewives did this
the production of local fish would be
| encouraged and they would become
more abundant and still cheaper
There are accepted families in
fish that have been admitted into
the best of homes for generations
and there are other families tina,
have been excluded for no other
ISdsoh Iudn luey nave not peer
properly introduced. This introduc.
| ton Of new fish varities is one Of the
greatest needs of the times. Thi.
bureau took the pains and spent the
necessary money to introduce the
tilefish. Now it. is regularly estab
lished. The different varieties neet

9ished as food needs the same sor
