THREE GREATEST MONTHS.
July to October Events Surpassed Any
Thing World Ever Saw Before

Any other three months in the his
tory of the human race appear trivia
and tagging when their events are
compared with the miraculous trans
formation in the fortunes of the civil
lied world that came between July Il
and October Is, 1918.
On the earlier date even the stout
British warrior Haig was using the
phrase "our backs to the wall.
More than a million people had left
Paris in anticipation of its capture
by the Germans The imperial leu
tonic dreams of "Mittel Europa,
hugely enlarged over earlier ambitions
by the enslavement of 10000, ,00C
Russians, with controlled access to the
East, seemed an accomplished fact

The Alleis' hope was in the years,
not in the months, to come; and IN
the spihloads of youths untried in
warfare, citizens of peacelovlng
nation with only suddenly improvised
military stablishment-youth who
must be transported by the million,
with their unbelievably vast stores of
arms and supplies, over three thous-
and miles of water infested with
enemy, submarines. Thus 1t was in
July.
In October the civilized world
rubbed its eyes to see the German
hordes defeated not once or twice,
but scores of times in 80 many en-
gagements, each of which would be
great battle by any standards but
those of this stupendous war. More
than three million Germans we're In
full retreat from Belgium and North

merely to escape from complete dis
aster. Bulgaria the keystone of the
eastern dreami-structure, had fallen.
Turkey and Austria were tottering.
Germany was suing for peace, humbly
accepting in toto the American Presi-
dents ideas of terms, and agreeing to
svacuate all lands her armies had
overrun. Prussia was. in frantic
haste, pushing through those consti-
tutonal reforms which. she hoped,
would nersuade America to willing
ness to deal with her. The Teutons
were beaten. From the American

SOMETHING ABOUT BOHEMIA.
Interesting FsCts That Are Known to
Very Few Of Our People.

1t can be readily understood why the
Hapsburgs have always been deter
mined to retain control of Bohemia
and to insist that the union between
Austria and Bohemia is a real union
and not merely personal one.
Bohemia has been from the very
beginning of the connection the eco
nomic backbone of the Austrian
dominoins.
1t is the most advanced and pro-
gressive in agriculture, manufactures,
mirablle climate and inhabited by an
intelligent and industrious rural pop
ulatiOn, it has over 80 percent OF it's
area uuder excellent cultivation.
With the exception of salt almost
every useful mineral and metal is
found within its borders.
With its rich mines of coal and
iron it has been enabled not only to
assume the supremacy of the Dual
Monarchy in industry, but to become
one of the greatest manufacturing
centers of Europe.
Hand in hand with this marufactur-
ing activity has gone its commercial
development. This has been stimu
lated by the, building of splendid
railway, canal, and road system.
Almost onethird of the total railways
of Austria are in Bohemia.
This ren trkarle industrial develop
ment enabi.s the Czech provinces of
Austria a. ne present time to hear
about five yhts of the total burden
OF Austrian taxation.
And this material expansion has
been paralleled by an equally aston
ishing spirtueal growth. Bohemia
has the lowest percentage of Hitter
ates of any province in the Austro-
Hungarian Monarchy--but three per-
cent. 1t has a splendid system of |
and secondary schools. at
the head of which are the two unlver-
stiles at Prague, ons German and the |
other Czech. 1t has taken an ad-
vanced place in literature and music.
in fact in almost every branch of
human culture.
Were this vigorous people to attain
20 complete unity and Independence
Europe would be greatly enriched, but
Austria would sink into second rate
power. From the American Review

FOOD SHIPMENTS LARGE
Much More Than Last Year But Will Be
Plenty Left for Home Use.

Food Administrator Hoover has an
nounced that the United States is
prepared to ship $3.50, OOO more tons
of faod stuffs to it army and to its
Allies than last year and still have
ample at home to maintain health
and strength.
This satisfactory situation depends,
however. OH Individual care and saw

In the middle of October new rules
! for hot els and other public eating
places wera promulgated by the Food
Admins ration, when cut down the
size Of the port iOhs served, Tt Ttstricting
each person, to one half of an ounce
of butter per meal.
The total requirements abroad of the
Allied armies and civilians, the Bel
gian relief ana the utrals, who
are deper dent upon the United States
will amount tn II, $50. 600 tons of food
etuffs for year ending next July /.
The final report of the years crop
of United States, issued on October
IS, showed the wheat product ION of
9l8, 92O, 600 bushels. An encouraging
feature of the year wheat harvest
is that the qualitlty Of the grain is
the best ever known. The quantity
of yield is, too, the greatest with one
exception.
The corn crop of 2,717, 900. 600 bush
els is 441 90. 00G bushels below that of
last year.. The harvest of oats is the
largest except last year, and not far
below that, and it is of excellent
quality.
Encouragement for the food situa-
tion next year comes in the reports
of the largest acreage of winter
wheat ever sown--exceeding last
years by nearly three million acres.
There will be a substantial Garry

crop and there are the surplusses of

Hayden Ford Tells Somethig Of the Dif-

We are in receipt of letter written
by Private Hayden Ford, son of Rob-
ert Ford, Crossvlleg, dated Oct 6.
He says:
France is good country but moth
ing like the United States. The
French people treat US good and do
washing and sewing for as or anything
they can. The buildings are all OF
stone. They have good roads, houses
and cattle, but | have not seen dog
en- hogs since have been here. They
raise lots of potatoes, cabbage, beans,
beets and have very fine grapes and
nuts. have not seen hill of corn
since | landed. The white oak and
post oak have different leaves and
bark from ours but the acorns look the
same. The timber is scarce and
srubbv.
We had a nice trip coming over.
We get we'll ted and have good sleep
ing quarters. We are having frost
here and it is pretty cool nights. We
have some time trying to talk to the
French | have learned a few French
words.
All of US boys who left together are
scattered and only two are with me.
