 "Oesel began to figure in the his tory of the Baltic early in the thir- teenth century, when Waldemar king of the Danes, took possession of it and erected a castle here. The strong hold was soon destroyed by the Es- thonians, however. In 1927 the Breth- ren of the Sword introduced Christi ianity on the island and it's govern ment was entrusted to line of bish- ops. the last of whom, more than 20U years after the knights took posses sion, sold the territory to the Danes. In 1645 the island passed to the Swedes, who held it until it was in corporated in the kingdom of Russia during the first quarter of the eighteenth century.

ADMINISTRATOR IF FOOD COMES
 N|THNEW WORD

"Over the top with the bread basket"
 This is the one big vital issue with the food administration and one with which every other war activity in Washington is attuned, according to Timothy A. Riordan, federal food ad- ministrator for Arizona. who returned yesterday from the national capital, where he was in conference with Her bert Hoover
 Wheat. wheat, wheat-this is the word of the hour. How to save wheat, how to get more wheat and how to ship the wheat are the all-important problems which have set the machinery of the food administration running at top speed, and which have intensified as never before all work in connection with the war" declared MT. Riordan last night.
 Everyone in Washington seems to be as optimistic as ever as to the ulti- mate outcome of this titanic struggle of arms, but this optimism has been overshadowed by the realization that we are now passing through a great crisis and that the situation is by far the gravest yet encountered in the his tory of the war"
 NIT. Riordan was present at the re- markable meeting of the hotel men, when in response 10 an appeal from Mir. Hoover. 400 representatives of the largest hostelres in the country vol unteered to set an example to the we'll -to-do of the nation by going on a mo- wheat basis until the next harvest.
 That was certainly an inspiring meeting" said MT. Riordan. and it's effect has been wonderful Through the nation organizations of ali sorts have taken.up the slogan, no wheat till harvest and I am delighted to know that this movement has already reached home in advance of my coming
 "I am especially gratified, too. at the patriotic attitude of the Arizona farm CTS in their hearty response to MT. Hoover's appeal to place their wheat on the market. that it may be available for immediate export. The fact that il has not been necessary to requisition wheat in Arizona speaks for itself, and l am certainly proud of the loyalty which has been manifested in this di- Vection."

The National Geographic Society issues the following war geography bulletin on Oesel, an island in the Baltic where the Russians have an aviation base recently bombed by German airplanes:
 The island of Oesel lies like great lid above the Gulf of Riga. al- most completely shutting it off from the waters of the Baltic sea. To- gether with the smaller islands of Moon and Rundo (the latter the sub ject of a recent war geography bulle- tin) it forms the Oesel district of the Russian Baltic province of Livonia It is known the the island of the Courtlanders' and has an area nearly three fourths as large as Long Island, N. Y, with a population not exceed
 ing 65.000, most of whom are Es- thonians.
 "Arensburg, the capital, is prac- tically the only population center in the island. It has some 1000 inhabi- tants. engaged largely in trade in grain, potatoes whisky and fish. The town is situated 105 miles northwest of Riga, h times of peace there uisea

It will reduce the potato surplus in this state by creating a market for some fifty carloads of lus- clous "spuds' grown by the farmers and gardeners of Flagstaff.

were of no avail, until six former foot

ey divisions were engaged in the fight
ing between Rheims and Chateau
Thierry and the same number between
Rheims and Massiges. Other divis-

ter the fbattle.
All the divisions have been identi-
fedas representing the elite of the
German army, showing that Germany
on Monday delivered a powerful eff
fort. All the divisions suffered heav-
lily.
Statements made by prisoners are to
the effect that their officers had assur-
ed them they would have an easy vic
tory, assersting that they would be
opposed by troops in no great numbers
and who were completely demoralized.
.Never-before were the enemy losses
SO high. Piles 9 fbodies vovered the
ground. The fighting of the Amer
leans and Italians was brilliant.
In %thearegion of Prunay the attacks
of the enemy were repulsed outright.
The German hsses at that point are
estimated at 65 per cent of the ef-
fectives engaged.

Chance the Farmers Missed

A great opportunity for amassing
wealth has slipped out of the hands of
every farmer and gardener this year,
simply because they did not know
how to grasp the opportunity, and
there was nobody to tell them about it.
The disappointment is temporary the
opportunity will return, says the Bos-
ton Transcript.
Golden seal root, for instance. is
wanted by druggists, and is worth SD
pound, and it might have been grown
In quantities in the United States.
The farmer who had seen the posi-
bilities in its culture could have reaped
rich harvest. And many American
families will remember the time when
The arnica flower was a common flow
pr, which the old folks saved and used
FOR home remedy for sprains, but the
prospect in its culture has
lot been realized and il has been al
owed to disappear until now il is
worth 50 a pound. Druggists will he
lad TO pay that much money for it.
