WASHINGTON. June s. - American
army men regarded today the slowing
down Of Teuton operations in the
MontdidIer-Noyon smash as marking
the passing Of new crisis But they
warned that this is only one phase In
a long continued plan Of offensive oper-
ations. The smash may be developed IN
this same region. further. but II is like
ly that the Teuton will now turn his
attention elsewhere. He may strike TO
the north developing his major plan OF
getting the channel ports. or he may
strike for the south In the hope OF
smashing the Americans there and
heading on the eventual development
OF an American offensive at the near
est point TO German territory.
That the BOche wants particularly 10

plain from recent developments. His

During certain period the republic

1853 B. c.. In describing the triumph
accorded the victorious Roman general
it is related that the celebration con-

paintings which had been plundered
from Macedonian cities. On the next
day there passed many wagons. carry

never thereafter taxed her citizens.
Thus, while the statement Is historical
" true, the fact that there was no tax

all creditable to the Romans, for the

MAKING A MAN OF THE BOY
Schoolmaster Has the Great Task In
Hand, and on Him Depends the
Final Important Outcome.

The sum Of all admonitions Is that
the schoolboy must pay attention. That
is precisely what he Is doing, writes
S. NJ. Crothers, in the Atlantic. He Is
paying attention to variety of things
that escape the adult mind. As he
wriggles on the bench In the school,
room he pays attention to all that Is
going on. He attends to what is going
on out-of-doors; he sees the weah
points Of his fellow pupils against
whom he Is planning punitive expedi-
lions; and he is delightfully."- conscious
Of the idiosyncrasics Of the teacher.
Moreover, he is youthful artist and
his sketches from life give acute Joy
to his contemporaries when they are
furtively passed around.
But the schoolmaster says sternly {:
my boy, you must learn to pay atten-
ton; that is to say, you must not pay
attention to so many things, but yeu
must pay attention to one thing, name
~ the second declension."
Now the second declension Is the
least interesting thing in the room.
but unless he confines his attention to
it he will never learn it. Education
demands narrowing Of attention in the
interest Of efficiency.
A man may, by dint of application
to particular subject, become sue
cessful merchant or real estate man or
chemist or overseer of the poor. But
he cannot be all these things at the
same time. He must make his choice.
Having in the presence Of witnesses
taken himself for better or for worse,
he must, forsaking all others. cleave
to that alone. The consequence Is
that by the time he is forty he has
become one kind Of a man and Is able
to do one kind of work.

MEAT SUPPLY FROM POULTRY
Imperative That Productive Stock es
Rather Largely increased During
Current Year. T., q


prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture9
Meat can be produced from poultry
more quickly than from any other
source. One of the necessities Imposed
upon the United States BY its entrance
into the world war Is to produce more
meat than 1t has ever produced be-
fore. This is essential not only to meet
its own greater needs because !of being
on war basis, but also to save the
countries with which it co-opfrates tn
the war from defeat through lack OF
food.
Meat is one of the most ESSENTIAL OF
food products. OF such meats as can
be cured and kept in compact FORM
larger quantities than ever before must
be sent to the armies overseas. and the
proportion Of these exports to the to-
tai production in the United States Is
likely to increase steadily and even
rapidly, as larger armed forces from
this country are sent to the fighting
front in Europe.
In order to leave available Tor the
forces overseas as large a proportion
as possible of the output OF cured ana
compact meats, it Is desirable that
there be a decided increase in both the
home production and the home con-
sumption Of white meats such as poul-
try. To that end it is imperative that
the productive stock on general farms
and in the back yards of the nation be
rather largely increased during the
current year. It has always been and
will always be true that the great bulk
Of this country's poultry is produced
not on specialized poultry farms but
in the dooryards and farm lots OF the
diversified farms. Establishments de-
voting their attention exclusively to
the production of poultry have been
and will continue to be Of rather large
importance, but they can hardly be
looked to or any very great part of an
emergency increase in production SUI
ficient to constitute noticeable factor
in feeding the world at war. That de-
mand upon the nations potential pro-
duction capacity can be met, however.
by the farmers and home makers OF
the country without any sort or strain
and with compensation in poultry
profits more than commensurate with
the outlay of money and effort.

POULTRY RAISING IS A DUTY
Farmers and People In Cities Should
Keep Enough Hens to Supply
Table With Eggs.

fPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If poultry is to play the part that 1t
should play in feeding the nation and
winning the war, not only will the de-
ficiency created during the past year
have to be made good, but there will
have to be added something to the
average as it stood before the 1917 de-
pletion began. The duty and the op-
portunity falls upon general farmers
and upon families in cities and towns
who have enough backyard space
and that means much less space than
may be ordinarily considered neces-
sary-to keep enough hens to supply
their own tables with eggs.

he spripkled over the dwindling fire.
AS the red glow Of the embers faded
in a sputter of steam and ashes, Hazel
realized more profoundly the blackness
Of cloudy night in the woods.

the arm and led her up beside the
horse. It was a unique experience for
her, this being compelled to do things.
No man had ever issued ultimatums to
her. But here was Roaring Bill Wag-
staff telling her how to put her foot in
the stirrup, putting her for the first
time in her life astride horse, warn
ing her to duck low branches. In his
mind there seemed to be no question
as to whether or not she would ride.
He had settled that.

ing In the northwest hoping thus to
cross the wagon road that ran from
Soda Creek to the Meadows-it lay
west, and she had gone northeast from
town. And as she hurried, fear be-
gan to tug at her that she had passed
the Meadows unknowingly.
Presently it was dark, and darkness
in the woods is the darkness of the
pit itself. She found fallen tree, and
climbed on it to rest and think. After
what seemed an age she fancied she
saw a CLEAN far distant in the timber.
She watched the spot fxedly, and
thought she saw the faint reflection of
a light. That heartened her. She ad-
vanced toward it, hoping that it might
be the CLEAN Of ranch window. Her
progress was slow. She blundered
over the litter of a forest floor, trip
ping over unseen obstacles. But ten
minutes established beyond peradven-
ture the fact that it was indeed light.
She kept on. The wavering CLEAN
came from behind a thicket-an open
fire, she saw at length. Beyond the
fire she heard horse sneeze. Within
a few yards of the 'thicket through
which wavered the yellow CLEAN she
halted, smitten with a sudden panic.
This endured but few seconds. All
that she knew or had been told of
frontier men treasured her. She had
found them to q man courteous, awk-
wardly considerate. And she could not
wander about all night.
She moved cautiously, however, to
the edge of the thicket, to q point
where she could see the fire. A man
sat bumped over the glowing embers.

head was bent forward, as If he we're
listening. Suddenly he looked up, and
she gasped-for the freight showed
the features Of Roaring Bill Wagstaff.
She was afraid of him. Why, she did
not know nor stop to reason. She
turned to retreat. In the same instant
Roaring Bill reached to his rifle and
stood up.
"Hold on there!" he said coolly.
"You're had q look at mel want a
