tropolis. according to dispatches re-
ceived in London. The population is
said to be awaiting the coming of
the invaders passively and there are
no indications that the Bolshevik au-
thorities will attempt to oppose the
Germans before giving up the city.
Evacuation of Petrograd by the
Bolshevik government departments
was ordered last week and all now
are in Moscow, which the Lenine
government has declared the Russian
capital. When the order to move to
Moscow was given it was said Pc
trcgrad probably would be declared a
free port. .-.
German possession OF Petrograd
would give the enemy complete con-
troll of the Gulf of Finland and all
the important ports on it's coasts ex-
cept those in Finland yet in the
hands of the Finnish rebels, who are
being attacked by the Germans and
Finnish government forces. This
would cut Moscow off from the Bal
tic sea. On the south the Germans
have been reported within $50 miles
of Moscow and they virtually control
the Black sea.
London, March 20.-The Ukranian
National Council has declared mar

Freight traffic has been resumed
on portions of the railway lines near
the Baltic held by the Germans.
The Russian Orthodox Church has
presented a demand that the Russo

thority over the Orthodox populations

peace treaty.
The Austro-German advance north
of the Black sea recently has been
in the provinces of Poltava, Tcherni-

The shortest big" part ever writ

ing at the Orpheum all this week.
Miss Dorothy Newell, who plays the
role, certainly has a short cut to fame
and fortune, for she is on the stage
only three minutes during the entire
evening, and yet completely dominates
the play.
Passion is without exception one
of the most impressive and pictur-
esque roles ever conceived by an au-
thor. She makes her entrance bathed
in crimson light and a few diaphan-
Gus draperies of purple and scarlet.
There is soft music of weird, Ori-
entail nature. Her advent creates a
sensation. for they turn off all the
lights and give her the center of the
stage with a scarlet halo of light
around her.

Clear, Peachy Skin Awaits Anyone Who
 Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break fast heIrs us look and feel
 clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry, bright, alert--a good, clear skin aud a natural, rosy, healthy complexion are assured only by pure blood. Ii only every man and woman could be induced to adopt the morning inside bath, what gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls, with pasty or muddy complexions; insteal of the multi tudes of nerve wrecks," "rundowns," 'brain flags" and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
 An inside bath is had by drinking each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre- vious days indigestible waste, sour lamentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetenino and fresnening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject to sick headache, bill iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pallid. sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but trifle, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remark. able change in both health and appear ance, awaiting those who practice in- ternal sanitation. We must remem' Der that inside cleanliness is more i'm. portant than outside, because the skin does not absorb impurities to con taminate the blood while the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.

DOING SPLENDID WORK.

The Independent is glad to see the tl1e work of the Chamber of Con- 1nerco progressing so satisfactorily. Each merchant and business man to- day was supplied with sheets, which, when properly filled out and return cd to the office of the Chamber of Commerce, will serve as his own pro- lection against persons who hereto fore have been careless or intention ally negligent concerning the pay ment of their accounts. This feature of the Chamber of Commerce alone will be worth much to the business men of the town. It serves the pur- pose of retail merchants credit as- sociation, and the manner of it's operation here will be the same as is employed in all other well ordered business centers. When this be- comes actually operative, there will sbe~ fewer bad accounts carried by the merchant.
 Another step taken by Mir. Mari ner, of which every one will particu- larly approve, is the work of bring ing about a closer relationship be- tween the farmer and the merchant. In the soil lies our living, and with out the farmer no town would con- tinue to exist. Every means should be spent to make the farmer and his
Newport daily independent., 1918-09-02

family feel that they are appreciated. Steps should be taken to establish place for the farmer to place his wagon and team when he comes to town; a rest room for the women and children must be established. Proper markets should be created for the farmer who brings his pro- duce here to sell. He must know the value of Newport as a mar keting point.
 These and many other things will be worked out, and no man who IS to derive a share of the benefits must feel that he will not have a part of the responsibility. There is work for everybody.

 ID HELP WIN WAR
Farmers Are Urged to Plant Their Soil to Grain As Their Part of
 Helping In the Crisis.

The following letter has been sent to the local food crop assistant in each school district as "part of the winter grain campaign.
 Dear Sir:
 After comforting with the Chair man of the County Council of De- fense and the County Food Admins trator we have decided it is urgent that action be taken to assist in over coming some of the problems now confronting the farmer. To do eff fective work we must have your as- sistance. Due to the continued drouth conditions in this county and over the state generally, are serious. For the welfare of our own people and that we may continue to do our part in supporting our government in this war for humanity and civili- zation we urge the following:
 First: In order to feed ourselves and our stock, fall grains, wheat, oats and rye, should be sown on ev- cry acre possible. This will give pas ture during the winter and hay and grain next spring.
 Second: Wheat and more wheat will be needed to win the war. We should not depend on other sections to supply us. Every farmer in this county should SOW at least enough for his home needs. This is a patri- otic duty.
 Third: The labor shortage next year will be great. In order that we may have no idle acres in this coun- ty, large acreages should be sown to grain crops this fall. These can be followed with hay crops next sum- mer. Plant crops that will insure food and feed and those that require less man labor.
 I herewith enclose blank to list your school district. Instructions for sowing wheat and treatment against smut is being sent under separate cover. See every farm .own- CT and tenant in your school district. Urge each to SOW plenty of grain crops. Give each man you list a copy of wheat growing instructions and smut treatment We want to ascer- tain the amount of seed needed and later arrangements will be made to secure it. Get such help as you may need to canvas your district quickly and report to me as soon as you fin ish. I herewith enclose self-address- ed frank envelope for reply.
 Yours very truly, c. H. BANKS,
 County Agent Approved: c. W. Watson, State Agent.
