GERMANS HOMEWARO
BOUND, RETREAT|NG
ON l50.M|LE FRONT

With the British Army in France,
Sept 4, a p. m.)-British troops are
on the Canal Du Nord practically its
whole length from Perronne to north
Of the Arras- Cambrai road, and in the
south at two places, where the canal
is only about half constructed, at Ruy-
aulcourt and Moislains, patrols are
pushing forward
Along the canal to the north the
enemy is holding the east bank ap-
parently in great strength and has
been using his machine guns freely
all day. Patrols have been heavily
fired upon.
The Germans have destroyed all the
crossings over the canal. Exhausted
and in confusion, the enemy is being
subjected to heavy shell fire. But
the British for the moment are maxi
1 ing no attempt to drive him farther.
II appears that the Germans intend
to make desperate stand here, in
front of the famous Bourbon wood and
Cambria.
The northern part of the Hndenberg
line is being cleared. Allied troops are
making progress astride it in a south
easterly direction.
The war situation for Wednesday is
summarized by the Associated Press
as follows:
The Germans are now giving ground
over the entire $50 mile front from
Ypres to Rheims.
Seemingly the question whether the
Germans will be able to hold even their
present line from Flanders to Cham
pagne is being answered And the an
swer apparently is negative.
Marshal Foch's strategy. which i'm
posed on the Germans the necessity Of
falling back in Flanders. Artois and
Picardy, is compelling the enemy to
withdraw from the Vesle between
Soissons and Rheims. northward to-
ward the Aisne.
Outflanked on all defensive works
along the western part of the battle
line and in great danger of turning
movement eastward from the regions
of Noyon and Scissors, the German
high command has been forced to be-
gin the retrograde movement in the
Soissons- Rheims sector. Military ex-
perts long predicted this would be
necessitated by the allied successes.
Washington, Sept. 4.-American
troops in close pursuit of the Germans
retiring north of the Vesle have cap
tured the Villages of Bazoches, Fis-
mette and DaslieuX, taking prisoners
and machine guns. General Pershing
reported in his communique for today,
received tonight by the war depart
ment.

"REGISTER 7"

That is the message which the forty
thousand Four Minute Men of the
Committee on Public Information will
commence to carry to the people today,
at the special request of Provost Mar
shal General Crowder.
In order that country may become
informed upon the reasons for the pur-
pose of the enlarged draft ages, the
press was called into consultation and
heartiest cooperation assured. At the
same time, arrangements were per-
fected through National Headquarters
of Four Minute Men in Washington to
turn this vast force of organized ora
tory upon the vital topic.
A bulletin of information contain
ing complete statistics concerning the
fighting man power Of the country was
prepared in consultation with the Pro-
vost Marshal Generals office. An au-
tographed le..e: from General Crowder
to the Four Minute Men explains the
urgency of the situation and calls upon
this great army of speakers to use
their best efforts to meet their part
in it.
In this connection, the General says
1--WE want to inspire every man with
the resolution to come forward ut the
time appointed and do his duty.
"One of the most efficient ways to
communicate this inspiration, stimu-
ulating the keen sense of duty to be
performed, is the oral appeal, face ia
face. This is where we are relying
upon the great organization of Four
Minute Men. We believe that you
can reach effectively the millions OF
men who are due to come forward on
that day to register.
"The original registration brought
forward 9,5S6,000 men. This time our
calculations give Us every reason to
believe that the number to be included
reaches thirteen million. 1t will be
Americas greatest effort to complete
its Army. Your part will be an i'm
portant one, and earnestly invoke
your assistance and call upon you tc
put your best skill into the task

ELY RECOMMENDS THAT NOISE
BROS, BE GIVEN BACK LICENSE

albuquerque, n. NJ, Being convinc-
ed that Noise Brothers, merchants of
Santa Rosa, have fully repented Of the
profiteering for which their license
was revoked by the Food Administra-
ton month ago, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Ralph C. Ely has wired to
Washington recommending that n
license be reiissued to this firm. 1t
was found that Noise Brothers were
taking advantage of the war situation
to charge exorbitant prices for num-
erous kinds of merchandise and after
a thorough investigation and hearing
their license was revoked.
The evidence of repentance consists
chiefly of four notable exhibits which
went far to convince Mr.. Ely Of the
genuineness of the firms desire to ad-
here strictly to all Food Administra-
ton requirements in the future If al
lowed to do business again. Those ex-
hbits are as follows:
Exhibit No. Check for $3.50 made
out to Arthur Leham, treasurer of the
Jewish Welfare Relief.
Exhibit No. Check for $3.50 made
out to Salvation Army War Fund.
Exhibit No. 3-Check for $3.50, made
out to the Jewish Welfare Association
Exhibit No. Check for $500 made
out to American Red Cross.
Grand total of exhibits evidencini

ONE HUNDRED MEN AT
WORK ON COUNTY ROADS

Due to delay of government work
on the Ozark Trail has not gone for
ward as was anticipated, but two pa
trolls, each composed Of "a man, team,
chuck box, scraper, two helpers, are
repairing the Trail. One works from
Tucumcari to Glenrio and the other
from Tucumcari to the county line
west of Montoya. Another patrol is
working from Tucumcari to Ragland.
Construction work on the Ragland
road will begin next week and Mr..
Hobart says it will be put in good
condition.
The Revuelto bridge has been re.
paired and has been in use about two
weeks. The Rudolph concrete bridge
is the best Of its size in the state and
is now completed. 1t is 80 feet long
and has graded approaches. This new
road will be ready for use as soon as
it dries out now since the rains this
week.
Two road crews are working on the
caprock south of Montoya.
The fiscal year ends Nov. 30, and it
is thought 'by that time the county
road program will have been completed
and the federal work begun. More
men are employed on county roads
than ever before, there being more
than 100 men. They have about 80
head of horses at work. There is n
great need Of good roads but they can
not all be built at once. Be patien.
and perhaps your road will be put in
shape soon.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO
START DRIVE SEPT. II

d. j. Finegan has been appointed
leader for Quay county in the drive for
the Knights of Columbus War Fund.
This drive will open Sept. Ia and COM
mittees are being arranged for all

are doing a great work in France and
it takes money to carry on that work.
The Salvation Army and the War Y.
NJ. c. A. have been literally financed
by the good people of the country SO
this time the Knights of Columbus
are asking aid from those who can
spare. The people are not assessed
any certain amount but they are at
liberty to give what they care to a

Robt. p NJ. Case has resigned his
position as secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce in order to take an ex-
tended rest. He used too much energy
in obtaining results and his health has
been greatly impaired. 1t was with
regret that the directors accepted Mr..
Cases resignation as he bears the
reputation of being one of the most
competent secretaries in the West. II
is hoped he will soon recover or re-

Did you get my letter? We loaded
1900 tons at Iquique, Chile. Took it
all right up to the Panama canal and
through it, but we got into the Car
ribean Sea and got into some rough
weather and broke our steering gear
and came near going down. We tried
to steer her by hand but couldn't han
die her. We rolled around for about
IL hours with water five feet deep on
all our decks, and finally got our gear
fixed up 'sith cable and got her
back to Colon. The captain said we
were certainly lucky to get back and
he ought to know. He was skipper
on a big passenger liner out of New
York
Well, mamma ! guess we will go
to France pretty soon. We will be
here probably ten days or two weeks,

then a period of comparative rest
when little fruit is produced, followed
by long period when fairly uniform
amount of fruit is borne.
Weather conditions play an impor-
tant part in the amount of fruit pro-
duced during the summer and autumn.
Only when the moisture supply and
other climatic conditions are favorable
can the yield be constant. For this
reason the results obtained from the
everbearing varieties have varied
greatly in the different sections of the
country, and in different years. If a
long drought occurs while the plants
are fruiting, the berries become small
and the plants finally cease to bear.
Therefore they are not well adapted
to sections having long droughts ex.
cept when irrigation can be supplied

Territories Produce More.

The two million people in Alaska,
Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Guam are try
ing to do their part for the food sup
ply. Through it's experiment stations
in these possessions the United States
department of agriculture early in the
emergency started campaigns to in
crease food production. To make the
territories less dependent upon the
mainland of this country for their sup
plies is the aim Of the federal work
ers. Important results already have
been obtained.
Porto Rico, which formerly imported
more than $500, 600. worth of beans an
nually from the mainland, now is in q
position to export this product. The
Alaska stations have greatly increased
the areas sown to grains and now are
able to meet increased demands for
seed grains locally adapted. The Guam
station is distributing larger quaint,
ties of seeds and plants for cultivation
by the natives, with prospects of an
increased production of food. Hawaii
also has materially increased it's pro
duction of food crops. Before the wal
Hawaii and Porto Rico imported some
| $20,OOO,OOO worth of food supplies from
this country annually. Many of the ar
ticles imported can be grown success
fully in these islands.

No attempt should be made to raise

at Brest-Litovsk after Leon Trotzky,

would be demobilized, but that she
would desist from signing a formal

DELICIOUS BERRY
THROUGH SUMMER
Long-Season Strawberries Have
Passed Trial Period.
OF REAL VALUE FOR MARKET
Heretofore "Everbearing" Varieties
Have Been Grown Chiefly by ANA
feurs and Commercial Grow
ers-Crop First Season.

Strawberries from your garden
throughout summer and autumn are
now a possibility as the result of the
perfection of overwhelming varieties
of this delicate berry. Everbearing
strawberries are not a brand new dis
covery, but heretofore they have been
grown chiefly by amateurs and COM
mercial growers who have tested them
In comparison with ordinary sorts. In
a. recent publication of the United
States department of agriculture an
nouncement is made that sufficient
number of trials of these varieties now
have been completed to indicate their
real value for home use and for mar
ket in certain sections of the country.
Primarily Northern Type.
The regions where it is known that
everbearing varieties can be grown
extend as far south as the northern
parts of Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas
and. Kansas. South of these limits
there are probably points where they
may be grown with some degree OF
success, but they are not definitely
known to succeed there.
The two leading varieties of this
type of strawberry, the Progressive
and the Superb, are notable not only
because they produce fruit from the
time of the usual crop until late sum
mer or autumn, but also because they
are exceptionally resistant to leaf
spot diseases. They are also very
hardy. The Progressive has been founc
to withstand the winters of the middle
West hetter than any other variety eX
cept the Dunlap, one of it's parents
The Superb also is harder than mos
varieties of strawberries. Another re
markable characteristic Of these varie
ties is that if their blooms are killed
by frost they soon flower again. There
fore in many sections subject to lat
spring frosts, which often destroy thu
crop, these varieties are particular,
valuable.
Small Crop First Season.
IL plants of the everbearing type ar
set early. in the spring, small crol
