There IS n great der1h of trained

There is great derth Of trained
nui ses all over this country. and the
need has never been greater. The
war is taking our young men, and
leaving our young women for much
Of the work that has heretofore been
done 10y the men. But this business OF
nursing Is one for which women are
best fitted. and knowledge of II new
er comes amiss. In fact every woman
who knows about nursing Is better
for that knowledge in whatever capa-
city. II there has ever been any
danger of overcrowding the profess
sion, which is doubtful, there is GER
tainly no such danger now. The field
is certainly worth thorough investi-
cation.

ALONG THE BATTLE FRONTS
Situation Generally Suggestive OF
Calm Before Storm.

For the moment, the eyes OF the al
lied world are turned away from the
battle front in France, where the Ger
mans are believed to be preparing Tor
a resumption Of their offensive against
the positions held by the soldiers OF
the Entente nations. The most active
area in the various theatres OF the
war Is in Albina, where the French
and Italians are continuing their sue
cesses against the Austrians.
While IL Is. not expected far reach
ing results will be brought about by
the offensive In this section OF the
world. the movement has In It posi-
milities which seem interesting. The
rapid progress made by the French
and Italians, the probability that the
Austro- Bulgar line to the east past
Lake Orchrida may be outfianked. and
the possibility that an offensive may
be launched along the Saloniki front,
tend to give the events In Albina
some importance at time when the
main battle area Is quiet.
There have been indications recent
ly that an offensive might be begun In
Macedonia, IL for no other reason than
to draw Austrian. and possibly Ger
man troops. from italy and France.
II is reported that the Bulgarians are
war weary and that powerful blow
along the front north Of Saloniki
might bring about notable military
and political results. The Teutonic al
lies In Macedonia have been savaSely
attacking the Entente lines. but have
been driven back.
French troops continue their offen-
sive tactics east Of the Retz forest,
along the line from the Marne to the
Aisne. The fighting has gradually ex-
tended southwark along the front
southwest of Scissors. with the French
repeating their operation OF pushing
the enemy back from strong positions
from which he might easily reach
vital ground along the French line OF
defense.
Along the Battle front there have
been Intermittent artillery duels,
deepening here and there into bonn
bardments Of great intensity. This
has be>.n the case OF Amiens where the
Germans have drenched Australian
positions with shells and then attack
ed in an attempt to regain territory
lost In the Australian and American
attack of July 4. The enemy has been
repulsed with losses. Near Merris the
British have improved their positions
in a minor action.
There have been no events OF an
unusual character along the American
held sectors OF the line. except at
Chateau Thierry. where American
aviators have been active. One squad
ron has penetrated far behind the
German lines and II was believed II
brought back valuable information as
to the conditions there.
The situation in Russia remains
obscure. and Germany has yet made
no move as to the sequel of the assas-
sination of Ambassador Count Won
| Mirbach at Moscow.
In the mountain sectors OF the tall
an front the Austrians have been
pushed back slightly in the Brenta
valley and on the Asiago plateau.

cided that the proper basis In nx1ns
the price for ginning should be con-
sidered by the gross weight OF the bale
OF lint cotton instead Of the weight OF
the cotton in the seed. as was pre-
viously recommended. The reason tor
this action was because Of the fact that
there are some ginners who have not
the facilities sufficient to weigh cotton
in the seed and to install wagon scales
would mean a great expense. A CON-
mittee Of three was appointed to con-
fer with the food administration In
Washington TO ascertain what that or
ganization considered a fair compen-
sation for ginning. Resolutions were
offered and unanimously adopted that
whatever the price the food admtnis-
tration would see fit the ginners' as

The necessity for investing in war
savings stamps did not end with the
recent big drive. Every individual who
failed to buy as many stamps as nc
could during the drive, should buy
more now, and every individual who
failed to buy then should buy now. 1t
is important, very important that ev-
erybody own stamps, as many Of them
as they are able to own. York coun-
ty is still to buy q half million dollars
worth of these stamps and the people
should lose no time in making their
purchases. BY the way, readers, how
many stamps have you purchased?

HERE AND THERE

The following statement given out
BY the fuel administration at Wash

county automobile owners: "The fuel
administration ss urging every one

waste. Unless this Is done there
may be an actual shortage In a short
time. II this condition develops, the

There Is no reason In the world
why the people Of this section cannot
raise as good tobacco as II found any

Der OF farmers made the experiment
some twenty five years ago and failed.
Mr.. James could not understand 1t.
tobacco or not do It." he said; but
am sure that good tobacco can be
produced here. I've raised tobacco
and I know something about It, at
least as much as I know about rails
ing corn. The climate and soil here
are about the same as In the country
from which came. and feel sure
that the tobacco can be raised to as
good advantage here as there. The
price now averages ten cents q pound
more than has been known before in
years, and 30 far as we can tell my
thing about the future. the price IL
