A WISE INVESTMENT

The County Commissioners have
purchased white Motor Tractor
for.road buiEing in the County,
This motor is combination truck
and tractor that viii, haul five tons
of rock, draw two graders and do
more work in one day than five
foure horse teams and forty men,,
The weight of the tractor with its.
wide tires levels the road bed like
steam street rollers do in our cities.
The machine will level fifty miles
OF road in one day and rake it
solid and compact at the same time,
The use of teams and scraper work
will practically be done away with
and ten times the amount of dirt
can be handled at the same cost
and the work done in one tenth the
time required to do it the old way.

Dandelion. Are Food
Agricultural Department Explains
Methods of Preparing Lawn
Pests for Table
IIow to harness the Ipestiserous

1Iow to harness the lpestIerous
1 L dandelion in the cause pf rednc-
ing the high cost of living is explained
in the latest Of the Department OF
Agriculture's admirable bulletins on
food thrift. Young dandclions when
properly cooked comprise anexellent
edible containing food values much
sought in wild greens and salad
plants. Also, dandelions served un-
cooked in the form of salad, are not
only tasty, bnt nutritious. The De-
partment o. Agriculture gives assur-
ance in short, that no one need be
shy as to adding dandelNns to his
table fare.
While there is little likelihood of
diminutiorp OF y constantly freshly
plucked supply, Of this 1rarticular
edible in these parts, the department
calls attention to the fact that If more
dandelious are availablesthau can be
u.ed while they are fresh, ';hey may
be preserved for future Use. They
NAV be canned by the methods used
hy the canning clubs for spinach, or
they may be put down in salt ac-
cording to a household ,n,.lhod. In
many homes it is a common practice
to preserve dandclion green's with
Salt in stone cocks, putting in first
IL layer of greens, then II layer OF
salt, then more green's, aud so on,
until the crock is filed. Tie dande-
- lions are then covered with a close
fitting plate or board, on which u
weight is placed to keep the greens
packed solid
The agicultunrl department experts
have found that among wild plants
that accompany tie advent mspfin
which can I've used advantageously in
tile household, the ,iandeion is fore
most. The young ones are best.
Reh,ave them from the ground care
fully so as to leave M portion OF
the root. Rinse thoroly in several
waters to remove earth and grit.
The cooked greens should be lifted
out of the water in which they are
boiled in order to leave behind any
dirt which has settled to the bottom
Of the pot. 1t is mistake to cook
dandel,on greens longer than Is
necessary to make them tender. If
they are boiled with one eighth tea
spoonful Of baking soda to each
quart OF greens, they will. keep
their color better. Young dandelions
may also be. used unc"oked IN salad,
custom less common in this
country than in Europe, where the
tender plants are sometimes blanch-
ed like asparagus.

 son there will be formed national army division made up of surplus white men drawn from Camps Sher- man, Custer, Grant, Taylor, Dodge, Funston and Travis
 This plan. though somewhat diff ferent from the one originally adopted by the war department of forming complete national army division com posed exclusively of men from each of the sixteen national army areas, is in full compliance with the spirit of the law of May IS, because under it each White national army division still rep resents a distinct geographical area, the one at Camp Jackson being made up entirely from the white men of the extreme southern states, the one at Camp Gordon being made up entirely from the surplus white men of the extreme eastern states and the one at Camp Pike being made up entirely from the surplus white men of the great middle western section. On the other hand the colored division will be made up of representatives from every part of the nation and will be truly na- tional division.
 Also under this plan it is possible 10 Ill each national guard division with men drawn from the same geo. graphical area from which the national guard division is drawn"
 The new plan adds a division to the national army organization, making r divisions in that force to supplement the F national guard divisions. The 1 negro division probably wll be desig- mated as the 92nd division national army. It will be mobilized as a di- vision only when ordered to France for { duty. The force will be the largest fighting unit of negro troops in the army and the majority of it's officers will come from the negro officers' training camp at Des Moines, Iowa. The division will take in nearly thirty thousand of the S3,000 negroes registered under the draft law. There will be organized in addition, however, service units for work behind the lines. Orders were published today authoriz- ing "A of these to be raised by volun- tary transfer of drafted men or volun- tary enlistment from civil life It has been stated that 250,000 men must be sent abroad for this purpose. Supplementing General Bliss ex- | planation, the department issued a summary of orders governing the allotment of quotas of negro drafted | men to the cantonments With the exception of Camps Jackson, Gordon, ] Pike and Travis, each cantonment VIII

 Audrey Stills, deputy coroner. testj fled that the temperature of the water in the cistern where the baby was found registered 31.50 degrees
 Dr. Fullbright of Sprinfield, testified that when he examined the Rect in- fant there was no water in it's lungs. On being asked how long the infant had been dead, he replied, that owing to the temperature of the water he had no way of knowing.
 George Walker of Springfield, a mo- tor car driver, testified that he knew the defendant as well as Cletus and Taylor Adams and that Taylor Adams proposed to him that he make a drive of 20 miles and there would be $50 in it for Walker. He told of going to the home of Taylor Adams and there met Cletus and Piersol and man named Riley and drove them to the home of c. A. Clement. Here the party left the car for several minutes and on their return had handkercheifs over their faces. Walker asked what was trans plriHS ana CletuS SdlQ we VIII get tnlS Englishman."
 He further testified that he saw Cletds Adams frequently and that on the Friday night he asked Cletus if any one had heard anything regarding the Rect baby and that Cletus replied 'Pn tell you if you say nothing about it. Holland Rect received another let ter today" When Walker asked how he knew, according to his testimony, he said that Cletus replied that a ship ping clerk in Heer's dry goods store told him. E. L.

they have drawn the picked men from each of their companies on the eastern front and with the assistance of the class of 1918 have formed 27 new di- visions, 26 of which have appeared in France.
 "They have then exchanged their picked troops of the eastern front for the inferior ones of the Landwehr.
 "Finally, once the battle began, in order to hold out they have success sively replaced, number for number. exhausted divisions from the French front by divisions from the eastern front.
 However, in spite of using all these methods, of which the latter have only been possible this year. due to the trouble made by the Russian revolu- tion, Germany has made her supreme military effort.
 This is evidenced by the two fol- lowing statements which should be compared for future enlightenment:
 "1. After the formation of the 27 divisions above mentioned Germany and intended to create ten more di- visions with the regiments of the series SOL -602. Not only has she been obliged to abandon the latter part of her program in spite of calling out portion of the class of 1919, but she has been obliged to break up several newly formed regiments 10 reinforce her fighting units, and for the first time since the beginning of the war a clear decrease in the total strength of the German forces is on record. "2 At the very time that her total strength is diminishing, Germany finds herself obliged to increase her reserves on the French front to forty divisions with the sole aim of provid ing relay and resistance. Therefore, just as the offensive strength of the Germans has been broken in the open fields on the Marne and Yser and in 1 the trench warfare at Verdun, her fla ! cilities for maneuver, that is to say | the possibility of transporting valuable reserves from one front to another, is
 prevented at present by the conti
 nuity and intensity of the Anglo French offensive. Germany has still great | powers of resistance which will take all the allied forces to break. Germany's resources are diminishing at the very moment when the military situation requires that they should increase. | That is the principal point "On the other hand British and ! French armies have reached their full 1 strength in men and material and are
 capable, with help of America of maintaining the enormous strength which they have gained to the end of
 the war To this strength will be added
 the great American army which will arrive as quickly as possible, as three | years of war have demonstrated the value of time and the advantage of
 each day gained.
 This shows the decisive character
 attending the operations of 1918, when
 three great democracies, England,
 France and America, will unite their
 entire strength in attacking the enemy
 in conformity to the only sound prin- l ciple of war"

Riu Attack Begins

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. 9.-Another big attack was begun at dawn. today against the German positions to the east and north of Ypres by both the British and French armies and had met with great success in the first few hours of the fighting. At many places the allied forces had battled their way forward to a depth of 120O yards or more within the enemy territory and reports from all along the wide front indicated flat everything was going Tn favor of the assaultins troops, not withstanG:ng the exceedingly bad e n . dit:on of the ground due to the !ast few 0ayS rain. O
 On the rorth the Bremen Lad sur:ed across at the PoSbeek and Broeneke rivers, in the directioc of 1iouthmilst f. rest and at an early hour were re- ported to be fighting around Mango" laere about 1900 yards beyond their original front lines. By S:30 o'clock they had obtained several hundred prisoners.
 Further to the south the British had pushed t,.c Germans hack to PDelca- Reiie and were fighting well in the ,stern outskirts of the city around a big brewery. British troops on tho t;ravens.,t ,i ridge had carried thci' drive forWs rd to the Passchendaele ridge and n.e resting z. out thou ! sand yards southwest -af the town of

 At length, soon after o'clock in the morning definite orders arrived and the troops were glad. They went for ward with great rapidity notwithstand- ing the conditions, circling the shell holes and slipping through the deepest mud. They knew, however, that the success of future operations depended on their efforts today.
 When they reached their first ob- jective points they found the Germans, crowded in nests of craters, which hereabouts for the first lines. the build ing of trenches in this section of Flan ders being impossible owing to the porous soil.
 Good luck had made the advance CO., incide with the period when the Ger mans were changing the troops occu pying their front lines. A German divi- sion was just handing over the lines to fresh one recently arrived. The French with wonderful dash were upon them before they realized the situation and killed many of them.
 There was a short respite before the next forward movement was undertak- en in cooperation with the British, who were advancing simultaneously on the French right Slithering along over the broken and muddy ground, the French troops made their way quickly toward Mangelaire, which soon fell into their possession.
 The whole scheme of operations for the day had been carried out long be- fore noon The infantry's advance was
 greatly assisted by the daring of the , aviators who would not permit the weather conditions to interfere with their work. They flew low over the | German lines, taking capital photo graphs and then returned in the fearful | gale to their bases to turn in their 1e-
 ports. Meanwhile not single German airplane was seen in the air The result of the days fighting, in addition to the men and material cap l tured is that the forest of Houthoulst
 which comprises five or SIX miles oi 1 thickly wooded ground, now is virtually l flanked on both sides. As far as car
