gerous business and we have known
cabbages treated this way. If the cab
bage is planted in good, rich soil and
carefully attended to, our experience
is that not enough worms will be seer
to do any great injury. Anyway. those
which make their appearance may be
disposed of in much safer way Il
the soil has plenty of potash and tho
plants are not too close together they
will not be troubled with worms. Cab
bage is rank grower and in good soil
with the proper cultivation, it very
soon grows too big for the worms to do
any damage.
Cabbage should have bit of bone
dust wood ashes or we'll composted
manure. in order TO induce goodsizea
growth. Nitrate of soda is also great
help If the plants show too rank
growth pull them over to one side in
order to break off few of the roots
which will retard the growth and tend
to produce more solid heads.
Along about this time ants make

nests, as they can quickly turn up in
some other spot. At the nearest drug

stick make twA or three openings in
the ant hill, near the center, and pour
about tablespoonful into the hole
then close the hole tightly with earth
and the fumes will quickly permeate
the hill and kill every living thing.
Here comes our old friend, the pota
to bug, again. Spraying with bordeaux
mixture, to which has been added
arsenate of lead at the rate of about
two pounds to the barrel of the mix
ture. will usually kill the bugs and also
prevent blight. But after all there is
no better thing than paris green for de
strOying potato bugs. This can be
mixed with lime or flour and busted
on the vines.
We have seen people pick potato
beetles off the vines by hand, putting
them into a bottle or tin can. to be
scalded with hot water later; and we
have seen others knock them off on
the ground and sweep them into II
dustpan, but this is slow work and
does not kill the eggs. which are CON
stantly being laid on the vines Stick
to the bordeaux mixture and arsenate
of lead and paris green and keep your
eyes on the vines every day.
The yellow-striped beetle is one of
the greatest enemies of the cucumber
vines, but it is easily discouraged by
spraying with arsenate of lead and
this also protects the vines from other
leaf-eaters.
The best time to move the currant
bushes is in the late fall. Dig up the
bushes with as much dirt around the
roots as possible and set out in the
new location. The soil should be dug
up to depth of two feet, more or less.

CANADIANS CAPTURE
GERMAN TRENCHES
Meet In Open Ground and

Hand Fight
Bulletin by william philip Sims,


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Armies in the
Field, Aug. 2l.-The Canadians attack
ed the German lines west and north
west Of Lens early today. Terrific
fighting developed. As the Canadians
went over the top the Germans emerg-
ed from their trenches to attack the
Canadians.
The first line of the Germans were
already in No Mans Land when the
Canadians. struck them. Whirlwind
hand to hand fighting ensued, both u.s.
ing bayonets, clubbing rifles and au-
tomato pistols.
After half hours bitter hand to
hand fighting the Germans gave way
and the Canadians followed them into
the front trenches of the German lines.
This is the first time since early in
the war that both sides attacked simul-
taneously. In the obscurity of early
dawn the Canadians and Germans could
not see each other until they arrived at
almost rifle length.
The Canadians everywhere outfought
the Germans and advanced closer to
Lens. t.

DRAFTED MEN MUST

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Aug. 21.-Loving moth.
ers, sweethearts and kind friends must
not load drafted men with lot of
clothes and comforts when they start to
camp September fifth, Provost Marshal
General Crowder ruled today.
The 206,l00 boys entraining for can
tonments will be allowed to take very
little. Trunks are absolutely taboo. Suit
cases and handbags will be frowned
upon.
The war department prefers that each
man bring only necessary toilet articles
and one change of linen and under
clothing, done up in neat, small bun
die.
This is because strict attention will
be given the military appearance of the
boys from the moment they report at
headquarters of their local board.
The department wishes it understood,
however, that it is as necessary that
the boys bring the articles mentioned
as it is that they bring nothing more.
Members of each mans local board
will inspect his kit just before he en-
trains, rejecting everything that has no

"These men," said draft official
here today, "are not going on a vaca-
tion trip. They are going to study the
business of war. They will be supplied
with all necessary clothing and equip
ment when they get to camp"
According to the regulations all any
man can take is tooth brush, piece
of soap, collapsible drinking cup, tow
el, few handkerchiefs, an extra shirt
and collar; suit of underclothes and
a pair of socks.

forth by the company in keeping from
$50 to 200 men working day and night

evening, the 18th. q. G. Holt, who has
just returned from Black Rock says
that the fire at one time got within
half mile of the company's railroad,
locomotive and donkey engines. The
fire was fought by digging trenches, re-
moving brush and the falling of tim
Der in its path. Two trenches were dug
across the path of the fire. At night
when the wind was down, the fighting
was along the first trench, but after 10
o clock in the mornings, the heat was
such that the fighting force was OBJ
