GERMANS HURL MASSED
DIVISION AGAINST ALLIES

In a battle of utmost fury, the Ger
mans have been hurting massed diVi-
Sions against the British and French
Hines from far north of Albert to a
short distance north of Montdidier.
Probably there has not been a more
sanguinary battle fought since the
beginning of the TeutOnic offensive
March 81 than this, which has for
It's objective the driving of a wedge
between the British and French ar
mics, the cutting of the PaTis-Amiens
rail road south Of Amiens and the
capture of that city.
But, in spite of the power of the
attack and the desperateness of the
fighting, the entente allied 1egions
have stood firm over the most of their
front. AT only two points have they
been forced to give ground, and these
seem, on the m p, to be only minor
successes when compared with the
sacrifice of lives which they have cost.
Just to the southwest of Albert, the
British have withdrawn a short dis
lance, and the French have given up
the village of Castel, west of MOreuil
which has been the storm center of
the German assaults for the last few
days At this point the TeutOns are
within three miles of the Paris
Amiens road.

Heat for Brood Chicks,

The best temperature at which to
keep brooder or hover depends upon
the position of the thermometer, the
style Of the hover, the age of the
chickens and the weather conditions
Aim to keep the chickens comfortable
AS the operator learns by the actions
of the chickens the amount of heat
they require, he can discard the ther-
mOmeter if he desires. When too cold
the chicks will crowd together and
try to get nearer the heat
It is not possible to say for each
case at what temperature the brOoder
should be kept to raise young
chickens, but it will run from 80 to
100 degrees in some cases, as some
broods Of chickens seem to require
more heat than others. Average tenn
peratures approximate SO to 95 de-
grees for the first week or ten days,
when the temperature is gradually re-
duced to 85 degrees for the following
ten days, and then lowered to 70 or Is
degrees for as long as the chickens
need heat. This depends somewhat on
the season of the year and the num-
Der of the chickens, as it can be read
lily seen that the heat generated by SO
chickens would raise the temperature
''nder the hover to a higher degree
than the heat given off by a lesser
number.

This Boy Was No Deserter.

Special From Washington.-The in
justices and inequalities that are so
often Internationally committed
against the individual in the admins
tration of the details of a world war
are tragically emphasized in the story
Of Terrell H. Marsh, of Parkton, n. c..
Unaccounted for by reason of an over
sight the Spartan like Tar Heel gave
his life upon the battlefield while pho
tographs displayed in his home town
sought his whereabouts as having dis
appeared from the fighting ranks.
Terrell Marsh did not ask why-'it
was enough for him to do and die"
While army officers missed him from
the ranks to which he had been as
signed, he was attached to the United
States artillery that went over with
the Canadian overseas troops. He
fought and bled and died for his coun-
try at Vimy Ridge. This was some
time in 1917, and the announcement
of his death and identification comes
many months thereafter.
Probably nobody is to blame fo~
wrongfully classifying this young man
who so valiantly fought the battle OF
liberty His heroic act doesn't even
mutely suggest-"place the blame
where the fault lies'-but the deeds
of valor overshadow it all with radf
ant splendor. The advertisement and
monetary reward that hung auspicious-
ly among the people Of his home coun-
ty will almost topple from their perch
ed position when the true story is
known.
Terrell Marsh went over the top
and he bravelv sacrificed his life to
make the world fit place to live in.

skim milk, or buttermilk to drink.
Growing chickens kept on good
range may be given all their feed in
a hopper, mixing six parts by weight
Of cracked corn with one part of
wheat and one part kafir corn in one
hopper and the dry mash for chickens
in another. In addition feed two
parts of the scratch mixture in the
form of sprouted oats until the chick
ems are three or four months old,
when dry whole oats can be used. The
beef scrap may be left out of the dry
mash and fed in separate hopper, so
that the chickens can eat all of this
feed they desire. If the beef scrap is
to be fed separately it is advisable to
wait until the chicks are ten days old,
beef scrap before the young chickens
at the start without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alfalfa, or clover, but the best place to
raise chickens successfully is on a
good range where no extra green feed
is required. Fine charcoal, grit and
oyster shell should be kept before the
chickens at all times, and cracked or
ground bone may be fed where the
chickens are kept in small bare yards,
but the latter feed is not necessary
for chickens that have a good range.

is any talk of disloyalty among the
farmers is because they too seldom

much-write less; but think more
than they get credit for. At this pc
