ANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN

~ severe fighting Of the last week,
the Canadian troops have firmly con-
solidated the positions captured to
the northwest of Lens, and the Teu-
tons have ceased their counter at
tacks.
The last ground to be taken gives
the Canadians a great advantage in
strategical position, as they are now
able to overlook the whole German
trench system in this section.
The Teutons are entrenched in the
hollow about Lens,S at the mercy Of
Canadian gunners and airplanes, and
are being continually harrassed by gun
fire.
1t is reported as almost impossible
for provisions and ammunition to
reach the German garrison In the city
and surrounding trenches.
LONDON, Eng, Aug. 20-Strong

repulsed near Epeny, the enemy suf-
fering heavy losses.

airy and the British today made sew

URGES CUTTING OF CANADIAN
THISTLES ALONG HIGHWAYS

Cut your Canadian thistles now,
is the request that is going out over
the county now, in an effort to stamp
out the weed pest that each year Is
increasing it's hold on valuable farm
ing lands.
The following is an appeal that
was published in the Sumas Advoc-
ate-News last week:
1.-The attention of road superVls-
ors and other county officers is called
TO the necessity of cutting Canadian
thistles now before they are at full
maturity. The Advocate-News is in
formed that there are acres of them
along country roads that should be
c1t before the seeds ripen and are
blown broadcast over the adjoining
fields. These noxious weeds are al
ready too numerous and steps should
be taken to eradicate them. Their
luxurious growth not only absorbs
nourishment that should go to food
plants, but they are as well NUS
ance because of their myriads OF
prickly thistles. 1t would be a COM
paratively easy matter to kill them
out. but if left to multiply few
wears. it would become a herculean
task. Get at them now and stamp

Country Threatened With
Small Change Shortage
For Christmas Season
BY associated Press

Washington. Nov. Penny hoard
ing and small coin savings banks
were placed on the official taboo list
to-day by Raymond T. Baker, d.
rector of the mint, who declared the
country is threatened with severe
shortage of cents, dimes and other
small change" for the approaching
holiday shopping season. He ap-
pealed to persons who collected small
coins as a savings hobby to exchange
them for coins OF large denominR-
ton, or for currency. to relieve the
shortage.
War revenue taxes amounting to
one or more odd cents on theater ad-
mission, tobaccos and other articles,
now effective, caused such an en-
larged demand for cent pieces that
Director Baker to-day announced
,mints hereafter would work Sundays
in addition to day and night as at
present.
In order that people may not
abandon their savings habits while
complying with the governments
suggestion, the Treasury will put in
TO effect soon the system OF war saw
ings. This is expected to draw great
stores of small coins from their hid
ing places in exchange for savings
stamps, and to increase materially
the supply of coins for general cir
culation.
Christmas gifts of gold coins will
be discouraged by Federal Reserve
Banks as means of unusual with
drawal from circulation of large
quantities of gold after the holidays.
Bankers explain that people habl-
tually refuse to spend gold received
as gifts for weeks or even months.
