Austrians far to the east of Conegli-

river at F%ontanell. bends to the west
slightly and then turns south until
it reached the Piave below Sandona.
The capture Of vittorio appears to
be a heavy blow to the whole Aus

and gives the Allies base for an
attack against the left flank Of the
Austrian armies holding the noun
tain sector running west Of the Pave.
Owing to the character of this coun-
try it is not probable. however, that
a flank attack will be made. It
seems that the advance will be con
tinued eastward, forcing the Aus
TRANS nearer h Adriatic to retreat
and increasing the peril to the enemy
forces to the northward.

Red Cross knitters are asked to fol-
low the sweater directions as carefully
as possible. Attention is directed to
the fact that the directions call for
finished sweaters measuring II to 20
inches (not stretched), across chest,

made according t6' directions. It must
be taken into consideration that peo-
pie do not all use the same kind OF

every knitter will have to use her own
judgment, as to the best means Of Sc
curing the desired results. There is
no set of rules that can be laid down
for every knitter, since they do not all
knit in exactly the same, way, and for
that reason, each knittef will have to
rely to a certain extent on her own
good sense in the matter. At any rate
it must be borne in mind that the
finished garment must not measure
less than II inches. across the chest,
and the most satisfactory ones meas

CASTOR OIL IN DEMAND.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 31.-The demand
for castor oil as an airplane lubricant
has resulted in a greatly increased
acreage of castor beans in Texas. The
oil is said to be superior to any other
lubricant, especially for high altitude
flying.
A survey Of the castor bean acreage
in Texa just completed by represen-
tatives of the United States depart
ment of agriculture shows there are
more than $4,000 acres in cultivation
and a good yield Of the bean is prom
ised.
In the more southern part Of the
state harvesting the crop will be start
ed soon. The government will take
over the entire production of engine
oil produced from the beans. Govern
ment experts said there promised to be
a big increase in acreage next year.

I The Red Cross house is an institu-
ton designed solely for the welfare
of sick or convalescent soldiers. Few
men here learn of it unless they are
so unfortunate as to go to the hospital
for treatment, but in that event they
learn extensively of it and Of the ac-
ttvities Of those in charge. Anything
no matter what, that tends toward the
comfort or well-belng of a patient at
the hospital. or will lessen the anxiety
of his family. mt within the scope
of the Red Cross house staff.
It has not been very long since the
big white, c~ross-shaped building was
opened. When it was under conStruc-
ton. before the o S arrangements Of
its interior were evident and before
the character Of it's staff was so we'll
known, there were those who called
the place a barn" Now said one
soldier Of it, "the only barnlike thing
ABOUT LaaL place is the size OIL the
hearts in those fellows that it."
Broad hospitality is the general i'm
preston given III visitor to the Red
Cross house, followed a little later by
approval of the good taste evidenced
in its simple but comfortable furnish
ings. The principal room Of the house
is the social hall, which occupies all
the central part of the building. In
appearance it is rot unlike stage por-
trayals of an English inn, with two
broad areplaces, tall brick chimney
breasts reaching to the balconies that
grace each side, heavy beams above,
and numerous windows.
All woodwork in the building is
brown; the ceiling of the big room is
done in cream color and the hangings,
lampshades, even the wooden bases
of the portable lamps, are blue. The
Red Cross is cut into the woodwork
here and there.
At one side Of the principal en-
trance door is a pool table. At the 9TH
er side is a monograph. Just beyond
it is a series of long tables at which
convalescent soldiers can sit and
write or read. Aside from these tables
h most evident article of furniture
is the arm chair.

platform at its end is almost outdoors.
Its walls and roof are composed of

WOMEN HARVEST APPLES.

Alamogordo, N. NJ, Oct.l 31.-The
Women's Land Army gave valuable
assistance in the harvesting Of the
apple crop Of the Otero county. With
out their help a great part of the crop
probably would have been lost.
More than sixty members of the or
~ganization worked in the orchards
and packing sheds Of the county,
picking and grading more than 1000
boxes Of apples a day. Orchard own
ers praised their work, declaring that
they were reliable and ION the job
every day and every hour,
In the course of the picking season
a shortage of box makers occurred.
The women undertook to remedy this
and turned out 200 boxes each day.

A CHEERING Word.

If somebody tell you that the aver
age life Of an officer in the trenches is
nine days and that if your boys gets
into the front line he is certain to be
killed within two weeks, don't believe
him, says Milestones. He probably
got his information" from German
propaganda, since our Teuton friends
seem bent on trying to brighten us out
of this war. No losses were more ex-
cessive than those among the British
infantry officers during the first year of
the war, when they fought a losing
fight, without artillery support, and
insisted on exposing themselves in
conspicuous uniforms. The percentage
of casualties among them for the first
year was 1873, according to the official
figures.
The percentage of casualties among
our allies has been decreasing. The
for the entire French army
was 5.41 per cent in 1914, per cent
in 1915 and 2.75 per cent for 1916. The
total for 20 months was little over -
per cent.

The school teachers on the East side

esting material in the manner in which
alien parents are saving to aid in the
war. One little girl told her teacher
how "the folks at home" are going to
help. my father and mother and me"
she said, "we made it on a piece of
paper last night. My father makes
$18 the week, and he pays for the rent
$18 the month. So for coal, SO for milk
for the baby, 81 a week for eats. Then
he gets left 81 the week. He gives my
mother 50 for clothes, he keeps 81 the
week and puts 81 the week for the
war savings. He does that so long as
the war should last"

REVIVED OLD APPLE STORY
Prisoner Related In Court That His
Adam and Eve Encounter Was
Caused by the Red Fruit.

Ever since Eve tempted Adam with
an apple there has been more or less
trouble" remarked James E. Deery,
judge of the city court, says the Indian
apolls News, "but this morning was
the first time that l have had an ex-
ample of the trouble which may be
caused between a man and woman by
an apple"
A man had been arrested charged
with assault and battery on his wife.
The wife had tried to shield him when
she took the stand, but admitted hav-
ing had a little unpleasantness with
her mate.
When the man took the stand he
asked whether he should tell the story
from the beginning, and when told to
60 ahead started by saying: Judge,
your honor, all this trouble was caused
by an apple"
Eyes, / have heard that story be-
fore" said the judge. 1.-THE Bible even
says that an apple caused trouble be-
tween Adam ana Eve, ana most people
think that all of our troubles date to
that time"
"But this was real apple" replied
the prisoner. ."We had an argument
over it and when my wife became loud
/ merely showed her away from me.
Then some nosey neighbors called the
police"
"All right" said Judge Deery, but
believe the real cause Of this trouble
is that you do not work steadily. Now,
am going to let you go this time on
the condition that you heed some adj
vice relative to steady employment,
which a friend of yours is going to
give you as soon as you leave the
courtroom"

Food Prices win Be Published.

Plans are being matured by the fed.
eral food commission of Tennessee for
the publication at regular intervals
in the daily papers of the state of the
wholesale and retail prices of the prin.
cipal food products. This would have
been done before now but for the
statement of wholesale grocers that,
owing to the very great difference in
the prices of many of the same food
commodities, it would be impractica.
BILE, However, it is planned soon after
the first of the year to begin these
publications. First, there will be pub.
lished the prices at which products
are sold to the retail trade by the
wholesalers and then the prices at
which the retailers should sell to the
consumer.

The state board Of health, through
DR.. R. G. Lillard, executive officer, has
notified all doctors in the state not to
use smallpox vaccine points except

in notifying all manufacturers that the
federal government will soon issue
specific orders prohibiting the sale of
smallpox vaccine from any source ex-
cept when sealed in copellary tubes.
1t is understood that this action on
