Associated Press War Summary.

Russia's armies have not lost their

long activity This is evidenced by
the announcement today from pe,rogra a

German position IN Calicia al the ON;

the capture Of more thanl0. 900 prisoners
The advance was effected in the field
OF attack between the upper S,ripa and
the Narrayuvka. General Brussiloii
moved here yesterday, the Austro- Ger
man lines being struck along front
OF more than eighteen miles after pro

OF attack
A stroke OF such iorce had hardly
been expected from the Russians con-

."The Man Behind the Plow."

The fate of the nation may depend as
much upon the man behind the pillow as
the man behind the gun.
The hero of the hour may be the per-
son with the hoe.
This country entered the present crop
year last July with l64 million bushels
of wheat carried over from the crop of
1915, and in 1916 produced 482 million
bushels winter wheat and 1873 million
bushels spring wheat, making total
of S04 million bushels. This year there
will be practically no wheat carried
over and the government estimate upon
the winter wheat crop forecasts yield
of only 430 million bushels. On this
basis the spring wheat crop must be
PIG million bushels larger than last year
in order to give us wheat supply equal
to what we will export and consume.
This is an alarming outlook. The
winter wheat crop suffered for lack of
moisture. The spring wheat crop is
subject to bad weather, rust, Hessan
Fly and other things which may pre-
vent full crop.
Military reasons prevent us putting
an embargo on the expectation of grain,
even though starving humanity may try
to prevent it. We must sell wheat to
England, France and Belgium since we
are now their allies. We must grow
more to cover the heavy losses that
occur at sea.
If we cant grow more wheat we can
grow more corn, beans, potatoes and
vegetables. More must be produced
from each acre of ground and more
acres planted if possible. Farms of this
country are not producing much over
500 of what is possible for them to
produce. Idle land should all be uti-
lied One vast source of idle vacant
land in the United States that should be
used is the public roads. Not over one
half of the space on the public roads of
this country is used for highway pur-
poses. The balance is allowed to be
the breeder of all the foul weeds that
are known. which are carried by one
means or another 10 the farm land the
other side of the fence.
All public roads should be planted
to some crop other than the weed crop.
Long rows Of corn, potatoes or beans
are possible and should be put in by
adjacent landholders, or renters. Thous-
ands of acres would be added to the
available farm land in this way. With
personal and organized effort along this
line, much can be done to relieve the
threatening food famine and to lower
prices of the necessities of life.

Bran Mash Mothers" by Billy Sunday

In New York City recently Rev. Billy
Sunday preached his sermon for moth
ers. and fayed society's bran mash
mothers, etc, in the following rough
shod manner:
I'D fight for my child more than
some of you mothers do for yours. You
let some tango lizard weasel eyed,
bullet headed, hog jowled, and rum
soaked - try to walk away with your
daughters. I'd fill forty gallon squirt
gunfull of rough on rats and buttermilk
and I'd down him. Yes, sir
II believe there are more good moth
ers in America than in any land on
earth, but some of them are good for
nothing. But there's another wrong
sort the society drinkers who in add-
ton to their vintages, wines, cocktails,
champagnes and frappies have taken
to drinking what they call the society
bran mash, o, mothers and poodles
admit mother has a hard time max
ing a man out of son if his father has
no more backbone than meat rind or

SCHOOL NOTES.

Loretta Huxtable and David Brown,
accompanied by delegation of students.
go to PIatteville Friday afternoon. to
take part in the District Declamatory
and Oratorical contests.
During the assembly period on Fri
day morning, Rev. l.. p. O'Riley gave
the students a very helpful talk. We
are always glad to have these addresses
from the professional and business peo-
pie of the city.
Among the high school visitors Fri
day were Ruth Alton of Linden and
Roxie Shackley.
The play Strongheart, presented by
the members of the graduating class, at
the Municipal Theatre, Thursday night,
was success in every way. 1t was a
strong play, ably presented, and held
the closest attention and interest of
the large audience throughout. Con
sidering the brief time for rehearsals,
great credit is due to the students and
the coach, Miss Wiegand. The music
was furnished by the high school band
and orchestra. The total proceeds of
the play amounted to sos 35. After
meeting the necessary expenses, the
class will use the balance to secure a
memorial to leave to the school.

sanest Fourth May Result from War.

Prohibition of the sale of all fire.
works from now until the end of the
war is suggested in a letter from Rob
ert Adamson, fire commissioner of New
York, which says that the writer was
taking the proposition up with the
mayors and city officials of all the cities
in the United States.
The letter said all permits for the
sale of fireworks and other explosives.
except those necessary for use in CON
nection with engineering operations,
had been revoked in New York and the
effort was to get all the other cities of
the country to take the same step.
The movement, it is hoped, will save
a large amount of explosives for war

GIFT OF CALENDARS
POOR ADVERTISING.

Taking note of the elaborate ealen-
ders given away by one of our promi-
nent business establishments at the adj
vent of the present year, we inquired
of one of the firm what they cost. He
told they gave away 100 calendars and
each one cost 36 cents.
Similar inquiry at other business
houses of our city revealed astounding
results in figures. The aggregate num-
Der of calenders given away run up in
to the thousands with an average cost
of about II cents each, some firms Civ
ing away calendars that cost over 50
cents each. The total cost of calenders
was in excess of 81 900. Some of the
firms that gave away calendars costing
upwards of $50 never spent cent for
advertising in the newspapers during
the past year. 1t was found that some
of our business firms had discontinued
the practice, having learned from eX-
perience II was about the most expen-
sive kind of advertising known.
Testing the merit Of such advertising
we asked ten people the name of the
calendar they had made use Of during
1916. Only one person answered with
out hesitation. Seven out of the ten
couldn't tell what firms advertisement
appeared on the calender. Five stated
they remembered getting calendars
from several firms, but couldn't tell
which firms calendar they used.
What an enormous waste
