fine Holstein COWS. J. A. Reed and J,

ton returned Wednesday from Court
land, N. Y. For the seventeen black
and white beauties in the car. Mr..
Reed and Mr.. Stevens paid $4,000, or
a little more than .$176 each. They
are we'll pleased with their purchase
and a that a scrub COW has no place
on the dairy farm in these days OF
high priced feed.
If all of these seventeen Holsteins
are fresh, and giving ali average OF
six gallons each day, . low avera@o
for a thoroughbred or s. god grade
Holstein cow, there will be 102 gal
Ions of milk added each day to the
many hundreds of gallons going to
make up Ashe JiI;e'3 milk supply. 1t
is said that this additional supply
will be welcomed. for there is no over
abundance of milk in the county now
The remarkably higl prices of all
shipped feed stuffs has o,en respOn-
sible for the sale of many daily COWS
during the past fall All winter. Dali "
men and farmers have sacrificed their
cattle to avoid the Of feeding
them. Cottonseed meal Of the high
est grade is now hardly obtainable at
any. price. and there are any number
of dairymen and farmers in Western
North Carolina who for the first time
in their experience are feeding cattle
without using cotton-seed meal. Dur
ing the entire winter there has been a
scarity of this shipped feed in all the
surrounding towns and this scarcity
has been felt even in Asheville.
Dairy cattle command a higher
price today than at any time within
the memory of the Oldest farmers.
Cows thatssold last spring for $50 and
SIS now command 500. There are
many herds of thoroughbred COWS in
the county but the big black and white
Holsteins are not extensively repre-
senate among them-AshevilIe Citi-

 Dr. Lampkin's lectures on personal and business efficiency have attracted much favorable attention throughout the south, having been given in most of the larger southern cities
 "I apply the efficiency test to the individual" said Dr. Lampkin and try to do so in such a manner that he can easily diagnose his own individ- ual case. My efforts are to instruct him so he can ascertain for himself whether he is giving the best there IS in him; and, if not. to eliminate the cause"

ENGLISH STATEMENT

London, July 31.-The official report on the battle in Belgium is as follows: The operations of the entente allied troops begun this morning in the neighborhood of Ypres have, been con tinued with success during the day in spite of unfavorable weather. The enemy's positions have been entered and our line has been advanced on a front of more than 15 miles, from La Bassee Vile on the River Lys to Steenstraete. on the River Yser. Both of these villages now are in the hands of the allies
 "On the extreme. left the French troops, acting in close cooperation with and protecting the left flank of the British forces, captured the village of Steenstraete and rapidly penetratea the German defenses td depth of nearly two miles. Having gained their objects for the day at an early hour, they continued their attack with the greatest gallantry beyond their orig inal objectives and captured Blk schoote and the enemy's positions tc the southeast and west of the vil- lage on a front of nearly two and q half miles, including the Kortekerrt Inn

 "In the course of the attack our troops stormed two powerful; defensive systems and carried by assault the villages of Verlorenhoek, Fezenberg, St. Julien and Pilkem and many strongly defended farms. woods and organized locations.
 Further south, in the right center of our attack. after gaining the whole of their first objectives. which inc cluded the village of Hooge and Sane tuary wood, our troops fought their way forward against very obstinate resistance from the enemy in a diff ficult country in the iteighborhood of the Ypres open road and carried the village of Westhoek. In this neign- borhood where heavy fighting has taken place throughout the day and still continues, we have penetrated the enemy's defenses to a depth of about a mile.

WAR COMMITTEE ON

join with republicans to adopt the Weeks resolution, the republicans pre- dicted that if democratic leaders would permit vote it would provide a way out. The suggestion is said to have been favorably received by the House conferees, who will sound House leaders before tomorrow's session regarding such solution of the deadlock. This action would not settle the dispute over the question of establishing a congressional war committee, but would remove it from the food bill.
 During the conference today prohibi- tion leaders made a futile effort to broad en the section for the communicating of distilled beverages for military or pub lie defense purposes. Attorneys for the Anti-Saloon league and Representatives BarlSley of Kentucky and Webb of North Carolina appeared to urge the change, but the conferees decided not to reopen the subject.

He also said that repeated ef- forts have been made to have the doc tors report such matters promptly, but that they are still careless about it.
 According to law, physicians must re- port such matters to the county health officer and it was on the grounds that they have not done so properly that they were fined in the recorders court yes- terdav

 The tanks again played, prominent part in the opening of the battle, and reports from all sections of the British front say that their work has been most satisfactory. Large numbers of these monsters were employed and in many cases pursued their destructive and un- eheckab ble ways to a distance far within the German lines.
 Further information obtained from Ger man prisoners concerning the effects of the British preliminary bombardment in dieate that the effects of this unparal- leled expenditure of ammunition were disastrous in the extreme both in damage and to the morale of the German troops.

Starting with the first peep of day, the attack. which was carried out jointly by French and British troops -the Frenehmen holding the line north of Boesinghe and the British be- tween that town and Warneton-the end of the days fighting found that all the entente plans had been car- ried out. The Frenchmen were hold ing two lines of captured German trenches and Field Marshal Haig's men three lines in addition to 10 or more towns and villages and more than $500 Germans made prisoner.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Teutons had massed almost countless numbers of guns and numerous divi- sions of fresh men to hold back the foreseen onslaught. and when the bat tie broke threw both men and guns into the fray, the British and French carried out their operations with dash and determination. Indeed, at some points so determined were the attack ing forces that frequently they passed tEe objectives which had been as- signed for their capture and pressed on and took terrain that had not been figured on for attainment.
 The casualties of both the British and French armies were relatively slight considering the intensity of the fighting on various sectors. while the Germans. in addition to their men made prisoner, suffered heavily in killed or wounded
 Although the latest reports are to the effect that the Germans are launching a heavy counter attack against the allied line at the point where the British and French forces meet. statements from the front say that the morale of the allies is splen- did while that of the Germans is far below their normal.
 Again the French troops operating along the Aisne front have been enabled to put down strong attacks by the army of the German crown prince at Hurte- bise and Cerny, and to assume the of fens1ve themselves and advance their line along the entire front.

 The non-commissioned grade to which each man will be appointed is to be de- termined by recommendation of the training camp commander.
 Referring to chances of promotion, the circular says;
 Tt should be explained to those inter ested that it is the policy of the war de- partment to confine ali promotions in the national army to the regiments and di- visions thereof, once the organization of these units is completed, and that under this policy they will be appointed to the grades for which they are recom- mended,

 Photographs taken by aviators back of the German lines show that there was scarcely square yard of territory along their front which was not devastated by
