Several interesting fish stories in- ter being trained to live on land fell through 8 hole in the bridge, and drowned have been heard, but the following one is hard to beat.

 "The great battle on the western front has been the most formidable of all time," says the War Pictorial in presenting scenes showing how the British bore the brunt of the German assault.

 The French are now strongly post ed on the south< bank of the Matz. The enemy has not renewed attack on the line from Courcelles to An theuil, where the French Tuesday swept the invaders back and re-es- tablished French lines on the plateau overlooking the center German posi- tion. Germans seemingly have not continued to advance farther east to- ward the Aronde river. East of the Disc river the French lines have been withdrawn to south of Ourscamp and Carlepone Forests. The enemy at tack on the front southwest of Sois- sons making some ground, but their progress is too slow for them to real ize the plan to cut in behind Con- peigne Forest. So far the Germans advanced less than mile along a three mile front.

LATE CROPS
 NEAR M0R|NlI
Lesser Goldman Cotton Company Hao Issued Report For Southeast Mis-
 souri, Arkansas Oklahoma.
To Our Friends and Patrons:

To Our Friends and Patrons:
 Following the custom of pat years, we shall issue weekly circu- lar giving our idea of crop conditions i in our section based on information received from our resident managors
 and employees. Under no circum- stances will we directly or indirectly attempt to express an opinion as n
 the future course of the cotton miIx- ket. ,
 Due to the unusual amount of snow during the winter our soil VII in especially good condition and tlo| preparatory work in the early sprinx was good. Planting was about two or three weeks late and we had v great amount of rainfall and cold weather during the two or three weekS that followed, which caused consid- erable replanting ,sspac1afIs as l|i northeastern and north central
 tions of Arkansas, where some lsn was overf1owed, but not too late f01 replanting, and as to the results of which there have been no complaint since. We now look tor an increase in acreage of about thHee per cent.
 Conditions at Presenf Weather conditions during the pat month have been ideal and from lafe staxe we have been able to bring thN eroI5 up to a condition nearly nof Chopping is progressing at . god1 rate and with the exception of p0T- tion of Northern Arkansas which has been visited with severe floods, condi- tions are very satisfactory.
 We have right to hope, especially with an average season for frosts and a dry fall, for the continued prosper ity which has come to the south m the last three years, not alone in onr territory, but all over the cotton raising district, especially as our pea pie have learned to raise the neceasa- ries of life, such as, considerable hog products, corn and all kinds of vege- tation at home instead of having to spend half of the value of the crer for these necessities like they did in3 3 former times. E
 May God grant our prayer that this war will soon be successfully termi mated and that our dear ones will come back to us, and we conscien- tiously believe that the result of the war can only be victory over auto cracy and military rule and cruelty and forever make our country sale for democracy and the home of happi- ness, with every human being his own
 agent as long as he complies with the
 laws of our great country, and fol
 lows the teachings of one of the
 greatest men this country has ever
 produced-President Wilson, whose great wisdom expressed in many words will be considered Biblical teachings for generations to come. Yours very truly,

4 c. St. dman, local game war den is in receipt of a letter from Sec retary Little of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, in which he is urged to ask the farmers in this section to assist in a movement to conserve quail.
 The letter says in part:
 In order that as few quail as pos sible will perish on account of the scarcity of food and exposure in the sections of the country that are now covered with snow, I wish you would use every possible means to have grain put out by the farmers and any others interested, so that the quail will have something to eat un- til the snow melts."
 Mr. Stedman says farmers can feed quail on their farms and protect them as much as possible from pot hunters" He states if something is not done we will not have any quail next year.

Yes, you have been waited back several years, haven't you? Re member the good old days when you were sitting by your fireside and smiled as joyous party of sleigh riders passed by? Remember how the bells jingled? Those were the good old days. It sometimes seems that modern invention has taken nearly all the joy out of life. Right now we have plenty of snow, just right for sleigh riding. But there is a woeful scarcity of horses to draw the sleigh. Where the horse used to toll, the automobile has been placed. But no automobile can take you sleigh riding. However, a few have arranged to enjoy the pastime, and it looks and sounds good.
