Sion the Farm Leaks.

Every one knows what happens
when water is put into a barrel that
has stood empty in the sun for a
while. The water leaks out between
the slaves. Many manufacturers hire
men to study out ways of stopping
such leaks in their business. 1t IS
said that a well-known automobile
company offers a small fortune to any
man who can save Il few cents in the
cost of building prominent parts of an
auto. Just so in farming. The most
successful farmer is the one who has
the best organized business, which is
best adapted to conditions, and has
the fewest leaks" Every dairy farmer
knows the Bahcock test shows how
much butter fat is in n cows milk.

Much Of the excellence of the rab-
bit as food depends upon the cook
ing. AS often prepared, it is dry and
insipid. while in the hands of an ex-
perienced cook it becomes all that a
fastidious taste can wisli-wholly as
palatable as the finest poultry. A spe-
eial requirement in cooking is that
none Of the natural juices in the meat
be lost in the process.

Arkansas who does not love those boys, then that person should not give bushel Is this charity? No! Rather an offering for services rem dered.
 We are told by the boys who come back from lover Therev that they do not dread death, but oftimes in the trenches, in the camps and in the hos pitals they discuss what will become of them should they become maimed, blinded or disabled and retugp to take up the duties of civil life in competi- tion with their more fortunate neigh bors. This fund is being raised for just that purpose. The people of America will not allow those disabled boys to return and for a living have to peddle pencils or shoestrings, per- haps, on our streets to generation who have forgotten their services. Neither do we expect to crowd them behind cold walls of old soldiers homes, but, as is their due, re-estab- fish them in the vacations of peace that each is best fitted for. In this movement Arkansas is lead- ing the world in the most humanita~ rian, philanthropic work, the highest ideal of all, and we find the people responding all over the State just as they have responded to every call Of the government. The same spirit preyans that induced the boys to say, as one said when leaving the station when one of his friends tried to con- sole him. Don't sympathize with me; save your sympathy for the! Kaiser, because when we American boys get Over There, God knows he will need it.'
 From 90 per cent of the counties Of the State we are getting reports that in their school districts the people are responding 100 per cent strong, from the head of the family to the babe in arms. One and all are raily- ing to the support of our boys The news has aready gone "Over There1 that they need not dread their future here, although they return to us dis- abled. The people of Arkansas and the people of the Nation will not for get their service and their wonderful deeds of valor that have startled the world.
 We know that your Country can be depended upon to do her duty.
 Yours sincerely,
 c. K. ELLIOTT,
 State Director.

AMERICANS FOLLOW
 TANKS TO VICTORY.
(By The Associated Press.)

My AaAC <AorNS Ae~ t~t & S1'*f
 With the American Army in France, Aug. 29.-Accompanied by fleet of tanks and covered by heavy artil- lery barrage, the Americans swept forward early today against the Ger man lines that slowly and reluctant ly fell back over Juvigny plateau. The little operation carried out yes terday by the French and Americans had been merely preparatory to the attack which began at o'clock this morning. The kInk had been taken out of the line yesterday, but no de- termined effort was made to advance to any extent.
 The firing was continuous through out the night on both sides, the Ger man guns being especially active. The rains of the early evening ceased before the ground had been converted into mud, so when the orders were given out today, the men moved for ward unimpeded.
 The German positions were shelled most vigorously by heavy guns, nor tars and light pieces, firing almost pointblank, as we'll as by long range naval guns, which searched the posi- tions far and near. And the infantry advanced then.
 
 Up over the plateau the infantry men went toward Juvigny and across the railroad running north and south. The Germans immediately be gan to employ the tactics of similar retreats, leaving their rear defended by line of machine guns hidden be- hind every clunlp of brush, promon- tory and wood. Only few detach- ments of infantry were left, the ene- my again adopting measures calcu- lated to save the most men possible.
 From Couronne wood and another little wood standing like sentinels be- tween Juvigny and the American line the German guns delivered a deadly cross-fire. Juvigny is only village but located along the side ot a hill, it offered a peculiar opportun- ity for defense, until the advancing forces moved into positions from which they were able to make 1t untenable. The resistance then stopped, the Germans retiring furth- CT east into more broken ground.
 The frontage assigned to the Americans was less than two miles. That part in which Juvigny is located was the scene of a dramatic tank drive. Under the cover of artillery the light French tanks flirted along both sides of the path up to the little place, smashing down one machine gun nest after another, in spite of the employment by the Germans of thelr new tank gun, sort of a super Mauser. This gun is virtually lden- tical with the Mauser, except that IL fires bullet little more than half an inch in diameter. This, it is cal culated, can pierce the tank and pos sibly injure some vital part of the en- zine. But in the path of the advanc- ing machines, there now lie broken or smashed into the earth scores of these, guns.
 There is unquestioned mastery of the air bv the allies along this front. It has been misty this morning ana there was little effective aerial work and practically none by the Germans.
 Only few prisoners are reported as vet, the Germans apparently sec ing to it that only machine gun crews should be sacrificed.

DISCUSSING, CITY COAL.
 MAXIMUM
Office of Fuel Admin iStratOr at First Says 9O,0OO Tons, Then Withdraws Figures

After announcing early this after noon, in reply to inquiries, that New Britain would be allowed 0,000 tons of anthra cite coal this winter the of flee of the fuel administrator in Hart ford discovered an error had been made and said later that the exact fig ures could not be determined until they were received from Administrator Russell who had just returned from Washington Local Administrator North had previously refused to give out the figures
 It was impossible to ascertain just what percentage of coal will be used in the industrial concerns, as the fig ures have not as yet been compiled, 1t was said in the early afternoon stato- ment The fuel administration in Hartford is working on the list, which will probably be ready in a few days.
 It was stated, however, that care will be taken in supplying all manufactur- ing concerns engaged in the produc- tion of war supplies with sufficient coal to carry on their business un- hampered and what is left will be de voted to domestic uses. Plants en- gagged in making war essentials are obliged to use more anthracite coal than ever before and this means that unless they are supplied with a sufh- cicnt quantity the production of war supplies will be greatly hindered. This means that householders must use what coal they are able to obtain very economically this coming winter.
 The per capita for Connecticut Is one and one half tons, which means that the allotment for a family of five would be seven and one-haf tons. The fuel administration for this state is doing everything in its power to regulate the supply of coal in Con necticut ia order that there Wilf be more equal division Of that product than last winter, when so many fami- lies were unable to keep warm. Many families have been fortunate in getting in their winters supply of coal. Others, who were late, will be obliged to wait Tn practically all instances, only a certain percentage of each or der is filled.
 New Britains quota for domestic consumption will be none too large, considering the vast amount of war supplies manufactured here, which means that each family will be expect cd to use their coal very sparingly thss coming winter

News Was Expected.

Washington Aug. 16.--News of the success of the Don Cossacks in Si- beria coming through Amsterdam to- day was anticipated here as the Ger mans have been unable to present a force in that section of Russia which could stop these fierce fighters of the Steppes.
 The CosSacks have persistently re- fused to recognize the BrestLitovsk treaty and have been implacable in their hostility to the Teutons and the Bolsheviki. It was suggesed by offi- cials here that the conduct of the Cossacks is significant of the support the small inter~alljed army and the Czecho-Slovaks will receive from va rlous factions in their efforts to aid the Russians in the establishment of the eastern front

New York, Aug. 16.--The Brazilian motor ship Madrugada, 1,613 tons gross register. has been sunk by q German submarine off the American coast. Word of the loss of the ship was received here today in insurance circles. The crew was picked LID by another vessel and will be landed at an Atlantic port.
 The captain and crew escaped in life boats and were rescued after row. ing about for four hours. The Mad rugada left New York two days ago, carrying cargo consigned to Santos, Brazil.
 According to Captain Rouse of the vessel the submarine appeared at l:3O a. m., emerging about 200 yards from his ship and opened fire with out warning, sending II shells into her. The crew immediately took to the boats and the ship went down in few minutes.
 No attempt was made to molest the life boats. of which there were two, according to, captains statement He estimated that the U-boat was about 400 feet long. She carried two guns, fore and aft,
