 It was suggested that the local unit of the State Council of Defense would be a suitable organization 'to take charge of the festivities on going away-day, and w. O.

 County Agent Reports.
 County Agent c. w. Scheerer, who thinks he is on the verge of being drafted into the new national army, addressed those assembled last night on the work which has been done in his department since his taking over the office on June 5th. Mir. Scheerer is of the opinion that in event he is called on to drop his work and take up army duties, the county should by all means appoint successor to take up the agricultural work where he drops it. His report shows that he has accomplished much good even in the short time in which he has been in charge of the office. He has visited nearly every agricultural district in the county and got in touch with the various branches of activity as per tains to farming. He has partially completed the agricultural survey, mentioned in these columns yester- day, and has apparently done much to enlighten the agriculturists as to the best methods of farming in the vari- GUS localities.
 The gathering was unanimous in its approval of the plan to keep the good work going on in case Mir. Schecrer is drafted, and expressed a hope that the hustling young man may not find it necessary to give up his office at the present stage of the game.

Germans First Set Back

1t Will be femem DeTeQ LndI IL was dI
Lege that the Germans received their
first great set back. 1t is only about
twenty miles from the German bor-
der and with Antwerp was reputed to
be the strongest fortified position in
the world.
When war was declared on Russia
amending lines Of grey coated sol
diers were sent across the Belgium
border for a strike on Frances I'M
protected flank. But for three days
artillery hammered on the great forts
without effect. Then the fortytwo
centimeter guns were brought up and
sent projectiles through what was be-
lieved to be impregnable Notifications.
At Namur the Germans were SINH
larly held I'D until the big guns could
demolish the Notifications. The days
lost by the Germans in Belgium saved
Paris. Mr.. Page thinks.
"If the Germans had not been held
I'D at Liege. Paris would have fallen
| he declared The Notifications were
| supposed to be the strongest in the
world but they crumbled when the
huge German guns were turned on
| them This was proof that forts were

mantled theirs and buried the ordin-
ance."
