London, Aug. 21-From scissors to
the Belgian border the German armies
in various sectors are being put to the
test by the French and British and it is
test that seemingly BODIES i'll for the
Teutonic arms, for nowhere have they
been able to sustain the shocks.
Northwest of scissors, from the
Aisne to the Disc, north of the Disc
to the region around Roye; in the
Arras sector and northward, on the
famous Lys salient the Germans
everywhere have been compelled to
fall back under the pressure of the
French and British troops.
In new offensive launched by the
French General Mangin over front
of approximately 15k miles, from
Bailly on the Disc to the Aisne near
Scissors, the French in bitter fighting
have carried forward their line to an

had turned to French possession nu-
merous enemy-held villages and farms
In addition more than 5000 Germans
had been herded behind the line pris
oners.
London, Aug. 21.-According to re-
ports reaching here, German forces
holding the vital sector of the battle
front between the Aisne and Disc
rivers were hurled back over a 10
mile front by the French. 1t Is
stated that the French have penetrated
the enemy positions to depth of two
miles.
This attack, which is a continual
ton of the assault made northwest of
Scissors, is said to eadanger the Ger,
man positions at scissors and on the
Aisne. 1t is added that the French
success probably will be followed by a
German retirement from scissors to
the Chemin des Danes.
Quick Retreat Indicated.
No details of the fighting are as yet
available, but an advance of two miles
in this sector would seem to place the
Germans, both along the Aisne and be-
fore Noyon, in serious position from
which only an immediate retreat would
seem to be possible.
Unofficial dispatches also state that
significant local successes have been
achieved by the French from the Disc
northward to well past Roye. The line,
as it is traced in dispatches, seems to
be very close to the important town
of Lassigny for which the French have
been fighting for the last week or

Barnyard manure to the value of S120, 300 % Is annually lost from the farms of Drew county. Thi annual waste which mou US to about BIO per farm can be prevented by the proper care of the manura pile. About one half of the loss is due to the teaching which ca be prevented by the propa9 shelter or storage ia a manure pit. The other half is due to fermentation and neg lect Fermentation can be pre- vented by storing the manure in a compact mass and keeping it moist. Neglect to keep the ma nure on the barn lots raked and stored cause a big loss. The most practical plan, however, for handling the manure problem is to haul it to the fields and scat. ter as soon as load accumulates about the barn lots. The soil will retain le teachings and all the Valae of the manure will be saved.

The soldier boys, who will re- turn home from France, will nat urally be more patriotic than be- fore they went. Their love of home and native land will be greater. And, while they endur- ed the hardships of the trenches, the trials of drills and the fa- tigue of the long and weary marches, both foot-sore and hun gry, those of them who are un- scathed and unscarred, will have profted by their experience. Their ideas will have been broad ened by travel; their appreciation of humanity will have been en- larged by contact and associa. ton, and as a result they will make better citizens and more loyal Americans.

THE END OF OUR EDITORI
 AL CAREER.

With this issue of the Monti- cellonian ends the editorial ca reer of the present editor. For nearly forty.six years we have
 been ''chief cook and bottle
 washer" for the "Old Reliable" :"
 and have maintained our own through "good as we'll as evil re-
 pute' for all of these years.
 During this period we have witnessed many changes in this country, and experienced all the "ups and downs usual to hu-
 manity in any avocation. We have had our storm, periods and our balmy weather; made some friends and, perhaps, more enc mics. It has ever been our poli- cy never to pander to popular
 clamor nor to advocate a meas ure because 1t was the pet scheme" of some one dressed in a little brief authority or es. poused by some rich and noble knave." Our aim and ambition has always been to deal fairly and squarely with the people, rich and poor alike, and when our sanction has been given a cause 1t was giveu under the be- lief that 1t was for the public good.
 The editorial columns of the Monticellonian, under our man. agement and control, have never been for sale. They have, inva- riably, and at all times and un- der all circumstances, exploited the opinion of it's editor, untram- meled and unfettered. When these ideas were popular they were applau led, when unpopular the paper was cursed, censured and criticised, but it's editor nov. ed along, serenely, in the even tenor of his way, regardless of the surroundings. With the con- sciousness of doing his best, af- ter careful consideration, adverse criticism had but little or no ef- feet upon him. Like most nor tals, true friendship is a boon that we cherish, and in leaving the paper we feel that, through out the country, we have some friends, loyal and true, and to them our heart turns in deep ven- eration. The enemies we leave have our commisseration rather than our hatred. And, in the language of Lord Byron,
 "Here is sigh for those who love us And 8 smile for those who hate"
 In quitting the paper we feel that we are leaving it in safe and honorable hands. Miss Laura Wilson, its owner, and her broth CT, Mir. J. Brice Wilson, who will be in charge of its management, were born, reared and educated in our city, and are members of one of our oldest and best fami- lies. They carry with them into their new field of endeavor the best wishes of the retiring edi- tor, and, under their manage ment, we confidently predict that the patrons of the paper will have no cause for complaint.
 What the future has in store for us is the enigma that the rolling curtain of time must un- fold; but 1t is our present inten- ton to reside in Monticello and spend our last days with the peo- pie whom we know.
 When we discontinue our pres ent duties, in the Post Office, and life IS still spared us, and our physical condition permits, it is most likely that we will again re- sume the practice of law, our second love. But as there is no necessity for crossing bridges be- fore reaching them, we will pos sess our soul in patience and await future events. And, now, to one and all, we bid a sweet goodbye, hoping that joy and happiness may rule, supre me. in
