Teutons Abandon Plans
To Force Way Into
Venice
Austo- German Evacuation Of
Western Front Foretells Se-
quel To French Victory

I OF great interest as regards the
military situation is the withdrawal
Of the Austro- German armies along
the Italian front from the Piave riv-
er westward. The retrograde move
ment undoubtedly was due to the
harassing attacks the Italians, re-
inforced by the French and British
have been delivering for several
weeks past. The indications are the
enemy now has given up, for the
time being at least, his ambition to
drive through the mountains and
out upon the Venetian plain.
On the other fronts the belliger-
ents are keepin:. up their intensive
bombardments On various sectors
and here and there sending out
bands Of infantry on rading and
accommodating operations.
While the operations mentioned in
the statements from the various
army headquarters are of little con-
sequence from a military view, yet
the general extent of the activity
indicates that developments of con-
siderable magnitude are in imme-
diate prospect.
The success of a German raid in
British trenhes west of. La Basse is
announced by the British official
communication, which claims, how
ever, that another hostile party was
dispersed west of Villers Guislain.
In the Nieuport sector the French
war Office announces the recapture
of ground gained by the enemy in
a raid Of ground gained by the en-
emy in raid !, Wednesday morning.
The French statement also says the
artillery is active in the Chaume
wood front and in the sector Of Hill
344, and claims the failure Of an
enemy attack at the former place.
During the period from aJnuary II
to 20 ten German airplanes were
brought down by the French.

THE FARMERS GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITY.

Nowhere in the wide world has
anyone profited more from the war
than the American farmer. Prices
Of cotton, rice, sugar, grain. live
stock; in fact, of everything the
farmer has to sell are higher than he
ever dreamed of-and the end is
not yet.
Unlike the farmers Of France, Of
Italy, Of Russia, and Of other coun-
tries in the war, the American
farmer can 60 about his work, SOW
ing in the Spring and feeling secure
that his fields viii not bs ovsrrun
by the enemy before harvest; reap
ing in the firm knowledge that his
stored grain will not bs seized BY .
ruthless invader.
'Tis true the farmer has his trou-
bles. Help II hard to get, and the
cost Of production goes up month BY
month. What the farmer has to buy
Also advances continually in price,
but the farmer, unlike the city
dweller, can. il hs desires, purchase
very little and still get along. His
living is right on his farm. What he
purchases elsewhere is largely In
the line Of luxuries. He can sell
now, while prices are high, and buy
later, if he wishes, after prices 60
down.
In fact it would be wisdom il he
would follow this plan. Cut down
on the purchases Of luxuries and
save for the next period Of depres-
sion. That is just what the United
States is asking him to do in con-
nection with the War Savings cam
paign. The world needs food-all
that can be produced. The govern
ment needs money-all that can be
had. Let the farmer produce the
food and supply a hungry world,
and put his money-part. at least
from every load Of produce he sells
into government war savings
stamps.
The security is the best in Z the
word; the interest rate il good; the
War. Savings stamps cannot decline

The inference to be drawn from
such a statement is clear. The

try must be assigned 80 that ship

ON THIS ACCOUNT, THE
FARMERS MUST PLACE THEIR

Virginia and other fields, although
the railroad administration reports
were less hopeful. In a statement
summarizing the resources of his
fuel curtailment order, DR.. Garfield
said:
Our reports show that the prime
purpose sought to be accomplished
by the regulation, the bunkering OF
ships and the supplying of domestic
consumers and public utilities with
coal have been greatly served.
Local officials Of the Fuel Admin
istration in all parts of the East re-
ported that domestic consumers,p pub
lie utilities and other consumers of
the preferred list in the industrial
curtailment order were being given
the full benefit of the coal moving
into the consuming territory.
''As a result of the patriotic CO.
operation of American industry, cap
ital and labor, the way has been
cleared for the prompt bunkering of
ships which long were tied up at At
lantic ports, waiting to carry vitality
needed supplies to the American
forces abroad and to the nations as
sociated with the United States in
the war"
Northern ports today dumped 34,-
900 tons of bunker coal and there
was $4,000 on hand ready for dump
ing. At southern ports 10000 tons
was on hand and 100000 more on
the way.
Bunkering was hampered today by
cold weather and much coal had to
be thawed before 1t could be handled.

HALF-SOlED HER SAVING BANK
Shoemaker Finds Eight Hundred Dol
lars and Gems in Woman's Shoe
Gets Small Reward.

Business was good with Engle the
shoemaker. Many persons had brought
many shoes to his shop to be repaired,
aud his cash drawer was full of strange
silver, says the Arizona Republican.
Came boy early one morning bear
ing pair of woman's shoes to be half
>oled. The boy departed.
Shortly afterward Engle picked up
,he wOman'S shoes. From the toe of
ne shoe fell purse, fat and tightly
.ioSed. Before the shoemaker had re-
covered from his establishment another
,urse fell from the toe of the other
shoe. Two purses, both fat.
Engle opened the first fat purse.
There was $500 in bills.
Then Engle turned to the second
purse. From that one came flashing
diamonds, necklaces, rings and ear
Irops. More than $500 worth.
The shoemaker gathered up the bills
and the diamonds and put them safely
away and turned to his work. Count
ng the bills or adIHiring the diamonds
wouldn't make money Tor Engle.
Then frantic woman burst into the
5hoemaker's shop. No need for Engle
% inquire what she wanted or why
she was frantic. The shoemaker knew.
The shoes belonged to her and so did
.he bills and diamonds and other
GEMS. She had taken her safety de-

Almost in Mysteries the woman re-
covered her money and jewelry, more
than $500 in all. She clasped the two
nurses to her and Immediately great
celief spread over her. Placing so cents

No Crocuses in November.

A writer. All the Venuses, in fact, are
represented as mothers. There is not
young girl in the lot. Among the
Greek statues only Psyche could quail
lfy as a Broadway beauty, and even
Psyche might appear a little plump
and mature to the admirers of the hui
man reedbird.
OF course, every woman should fight
ugliness to her last hour. She need
not lose her beauty at any age. But
