AMERICANS STAND FIRM.
They Have Smashed Repeated and De-
termined Counter Attacks by Ger
mans and Have Not Yielded a Foot
of Ground.

of Ground.
This mornings press summary has
the following:
American troops standing at Vaux,
northwest of Chateau Thierry, have
completely smashed repeated and de-
termined counter-attacks by the Ger
mans who sought to oust the Ameri-
cans from their new positions. That
the Germans have tried desperately
to reverse the decision in the battle
is an indication that the evacuation
of VauX is viewed as important by
the enemy commanders.
Over the lines held by Gen. PERISH
ings men there has been bursting a
storm of steel from the German can
non, high explosive and gas shells be-
ing intermingled in the projection
hurled by the enemy guns. The Amer
leans, however, have not yielded a
foot of ground and when the enemy
has attacked he has been permitted
to approach close to the American
lines before a storm of bullets has
cut through his ranks and broken his
attack.
AS the result Of these assaults the
Germans have lost very heavily, the
ground being covered with their dead
and wounded. They have, in addition,
lost many prisoners. The battle is
still being fiercely waged.

OF Federal Aid road money to be spent
IN the county during the next 5 years
IN order to secure this amount Of cut
SIDE aid the county appropriates a
like amount. This makes available

sion. 1t will be spent in building a

clared the Office vacant and elected
to fill the position Mr.. L. T. Town
send of St. Pauls, former rural po-

art that this action of the board was
due to his action some weeks ago in

Mr.. l. T. Brown, on the charge OF
violating the law in plowing into the
roads. Mr.. Wishart says he was told
by member of the board that he was
dismissed for that reason. It is un-

because of the productive industry
taught in early childhood in farm life.
There is no kind of training that
squares itself for all'round develop
ment like agriculture. The farmers
boys are brought up to use their hands
as well as their heads and learn quick
decision, which is of great value to
them throughout their lives.
The child's garden certainly brings
his life more nearly to that of the
country child than any other form of
study. AS an aid to- ~nature-study
there is nothing to equal it. 1t can
be used to help in nearly every branch
of study taught in the school room.
The practice in measuring and mark.
ing out the gardens and in systemat-
ically planting the seed gives the
child the practical mathematics which
he so much needs. Much language
work can be given in connection with
it; in fact, it can be correlated with
nearly all the other branches, as it
furnishes material for writing, paint.
ing, drawing and geography. The sys.
tematic care of tools and the system
attic order of things and the habit of
class observations acquired by the
child will form a trait invaluable to
him throughout life.

GROW A GARDEN.
By A. B. Pittman.

by "A, ID. 6lIIlIldI.
Every home should have a garden.
Plan your garden so that you will
have as great a variety as possible.
Raise both early and late varieties of
vegetables, and plant at frequent in
tervals so that you will have a con-
tinuous supply throughout the season.
A garden provides at least one-third
of the supply for the table. For six
or seven months of the year you can
have vegetables fresh from the gar
den. Then can, preserve or pickle a
liberal supply for the winter months.
Estimate the amount you spent last
year for fresh and canned vegetables.
Why not save this by raising them
yourself?
What you grow is better, fresher
and cleaner than what you buy. Vege-
tables that you can yourself are clean
er and purer than the canned goods
you get at the store. They are fresh
when you can them; you wash and
prepare them more carefully than the
factory product is prepared; you know
that they contain no preservatives
that are injurious to the health.
A garden means a greater variety
of things to eat. If you raise your
vegetables they are always handy and
easy to get and you use more than
you do if you depend on buying them.
You may think you will buy all you
nee dbut you will not. If you don't

Vegetables mean less meat. Meat
is the most expensive food we use.
Most people eat too much meat part
ly because it is a habit and partly be-
cause it is easy to prepare and cook.
Eating a great deal of meat, aside
from being expensive, is not good for
the health. Meat is concentrated
food. Vegetables should be eaten
with it to furnish bulk and to supply
the oils and juices necessary to keep
the digestive system in good condi-
ton. About 80 per cent of the medi-
tives of one sort OF another. A con
tinuous use of laXatives is injurious
to the health. More vegetables and
less meat makes it possible for PEG
pie to get along without laxatives
There is money in growing vegetables
AS 65 per cent of our exports are pro
ducts Of the farm. it is almost alarm
ing to think that so few of our chill
dren know anything about them.

of the successful business mesn of to

have the same liberties of the streets

Where possible, it is better to grow

says Professor Alder. The fol-
lowing suggestions will interest
the amateur who intends to raise
his share of poultry products this
year.
Buyers of chicks should have a
brooder such as is required for
the number of chicks bought
ready, warmed, and regulated
when the chicks arrive.
If, for any reason, the brooder is
not ready, take the chicks from
the shipping box in a warm room ;
feed, and return to the box; re-
peat at intervals of three hours
until the brooder is ready.
For the first few days give very
close attention to regulating the
brooder for the comfort of the
chicks. This is the most trouble
some state in the operation of a
brooder, and the most critical
period in the life of the chick.
