Coy Bean Crop important,

The SOY bean was introduced into
the United States as early as 1904, but
II Is only during the last decade that 1t
has become crop OF much impor-
lance. At the present time it is most
largely grown for forage. In many
sections. especially southwark and In
some parts Of the corn belt, a very
profitable industry has developed from
the growing Of seed. During the past
few years the acreage has increased
to very considerable extent. The
large yield Of seed, the excellent quail.
ity Of forage. the ease Of growing and
harvesting the crop, its freedom from
insect enemies and plant Diseases and
the possibilities Of the seed for the pro-
duction OF oil and meal and as a food
all tend to give this crop high DO

greater agricultural development In
America.

Lancaster Pator Is
Told to Leave City

Lancaster, Pa, Oct. 19.-The Rev.
Paul S. Schneider, for several
years pastor of Zion Lutheran
Church here, left the city suddenly
yesterday afternoon on advice of
the police department.
Schneider, a great admirer of
Germany, has been too outspoken in
his friendship for the aKiser and
added to the fact that he had not
been a Liberty Bond subscriber,
brought the thing to a head last
night. -
His home was placarded with sug-
gestive signs and yesterday morning
he was called upon by Liberty Loan
workers, made to wave a flag and
cheer for America and the success
of the Allies. Hundreds of people
witnessed the affair and the tenn
per of the crowd was ugly. He was
made to buy two bonds under pro-
test. Later Chief of Police Bushong,
fearing violence, told him to leave
the city at once.
The church council last night re-
lieved him from the pastorate.

With the Allied Armies East of

Americans tsained in England led
the assault against the German
forces entrenched On the eastern side
of the Selle river on Thursday. They
were faced by German marine di-
visions which put up hard fight.
According to latest reports the AL
lies still are gaining ground against
the desperate resistance fthe enemy.
At one point the Germans delivered
cointerattack and momentarily
gained ground, but the tanks passed
over and beyond the high ground
where the Germans were making
their stand and quickly drove the
enemy out of his trenches.
American engineers, working un-
der heavy machine gun fire, placed
bridges across the river and then the
American and British infantry swept
across. The tanks helped to keep
down the enemy fire until the en-
gineers had finished their work and
then went over with the infantry.

Army Medical Officers Will

at Homes

With the influenza epidemic slow
ly abating and the situation we'll in
hand at the Emergency Hospital, the
army physicians located there have
offered their services to treat pa
tients at their homes in case of need
or in cases where the local physi-
clans have found themselves too
busy to properly attend them. Be-
cause of the large number of pa
itients, the local physicians have been
compelled in many cases to refuse to
take new cases, or in some instances
have given the patients n visit or two
land then were compelled to give
their attention to more serious cases.
In all such instances the army ply
sicians will be glad to take up the
cases upon being notified either by
the physicians or the patients. The
army physicians can be reached by
Bell phone 255.a
The Emergency Hospital is now
idischarging cured patients in salts
factory numbers, and less than half
of it's cots are now occupied. Most
of the new cases brought to the hos
pital are cases in which patients
though sick for days or weeks have
not had the care of physicians.
Health officer Butler reports that
while physicians have reported 81
new cases last evening, most OF them
were old cases included in the police
census but thus far without treat
ment. If the epidemic is to be wiped
out it is imperative that those strick-
en- with the disease have medical at
/ tention, and any untreated cases
should be brought to the attention oi
the authorities immediately.

Washington, Oct. 19.-More than

fourth Liberty Loan over the top.
The campaign ends at midnight to-
night.
Only one of the Federal Reserve
Districts-St Louis-has attained its
quota and only three have passed
the three quarters mark. Atlanta
is the lowest with only little more
than half.
Most banks over the country will
remain open late tonight to receive
last minute subscriptions but there
is no probability of the the COM
plete amount OF the loan being
known until late next week. This
very fact has caused officials to i'm
press upon the people that they must
not hold back subscriptions in the
belief that the loan will be over
subscribed. Every dollar is needed
