SUMMARY

General Petain in series of bril-
 liantly conducted raids, thrusts and
 feints is giving the German forces
 on the western side of the Marne
 no rest, and is keeping them con- tinuosly on the jump. The exten- sion of the Allied lines to Faverolles threatens the German salient be- tween Longpont and the American sector to the northwest of Chateau Thierry. A communique from Gen. eral Pershing confirms the German claim that five American airplanes of squadron of six of these ma chimes which attempted a raid on Cobletz, were captured by the Ger mans and their crews made prisoner. The Austrian retirement on the AL banian front continues in Eastern Albania and they are fleeing before the French troops into the Morica Valley. The French have captured several villages. Along the trans Siberian railroad, the Bolsheviki troops have scored a few minor sue cesses in Eastern Russia, but the Czecho Slovak troops of the new government are in firm control of the whole of Western Siberia.

GROW COTTON
 IN CALIFORNIA

TULARE, Cal.-In the vicinity of Corcoran, on Lake Tulare, in the western section of this country, un- usually successful experiments in cotton growing have been made this year and a largely increased acre age has been planted and the crop has exceeded all expectations, both
 in quality and quantity. As the
 growers have contracted for the
 sale of the crop to the government
 at 80 cents per pound, it is proving
 profitable enough to induce others to change from other crops to the
 new product.
 One advantage which growers here are said to have over those in other sections, is that with no rainfall during the period of matur- ity and for some time afterwards, there is no need for picking imme- diately after the crop is ripe The consequence is that there is no de- mand for a large number of pickers
 for short period, and the crop
 can be taken during an extended period with the usual labor available

WILD DUCKS MAY
 NOT STAY LONG
 AT LAKE MERRITT

OAKLAND.-It's going to be winter for the thousands of wild ducks which yearly flock to Lake Merritt in the heart of this city. The Oakland Chamber of Commerce has abandoned its an nual pageant in welcome to the fowl and food conservation orders have prohibited the feeding of barley and other grain to them, as has been the custom in the past.
 W. w. Richards, a hunter of big and little game all over the North American continent, wha has made yearly study of the duck flight to Lake Merritt, thinks there will be as many this season as formerly, but they will not stay as long. He says:
 "The first ducks to reach Lake Merritt are the sprig and pintails. They begin arriving the latter part of August. Most of them come from the Klamath reservation. near the California-Oregon line.
 "The next flight consists of pin. tail, widgeon, green wing teal, show elers, gadwell, and mallard. They arrive about the middle of October
 "The last flight comes from tht ! Yukon delta and Saskatchewan, anc consists of canvasbacks and red | heads.
 II have hunted ducks all over tn, country. but on no ether body O water have I ever seen so man. birds of so many different varieties all dwelling in peace with each othe and with mankind, in the heart O a city of 2S5,000 inhabitants, with in a few minutes walk of the cit, hall, and surrounded by the con stant activity of a great metropolis.

Hell was popping all about us So we stayed there through the fight, Got to sort o,like each other Through the mis'ry of that night. He has feas; I have cooties: He. speaks French; l mo com pree;" So the rule of fifty fifty goes Between my dog and me. You wouldn't say he's handsome He's been wounded several times; But when we boys go over Over with us Frenchie climbs. And when the Boche is gassing, And we want to test the air, We try it on my dog first, But he doesn't seem to care. He gets no blesse medals, No distinguished Service bar, But just our admiration, Doubled by each honored scar. And when the war is over, And to our homes we go. My dog is going back with me What's mine, is his you know.
