has plenty of plant food, just as a
calf will grow better on whole milk
than on skim milk. The way to get
this plant food is to bring about the
decay of organic material, preferably
by blowing under green material while
the ground has moisture. When the
ground and weeds have both become
fairly dry this decay or decomposition
is materially slackened. This dry
material often makes large air spaces
in the soil, does not decay very fast,
and causes the soil to dry out even
more. This material is necessary,
however, and the essential thing is to
give it chance to decompose, or to
rot, before the process is checked by
cold weather. Here is where the
small" farmer has the decided ad.
vantage over the "large" farmer.
Weeds use large amount of soil
moisture. Owing to their hardness,
weeds are more able to secure moist.
ure than the cultivated crop. If plow.
ed under while still green they will
decOmpose though the ground is
somewhat dry, and make plant food
available for the next crop. If allowed
to grow they use up moisture for the
next years crop.
In this section there is one very
noxious weed getting started and
that is the perennial SOW thistle. II
will cause the farmers no end OF
trouble If it once gets foot hold. A
discussion on it will appear in the
following issue.

Letters From, "Our Boys"
From Private Arwik

DR.. j.. A. Logan has a letter from
Private Arwik, dated June 30th, which
we are permitted to print:
"Just got off guard, so will take the
time to write you. Haven't very much
to tell, but believe you will be glad
to hear from me. Received the papers
you sent me. They are dated April a.
11-25, for which l thank you very
much.
II suppose you have heard that we
moved from the town we were in so
long. Have been here for over three
weeks. Don't like it here. We are
closer to the front than ever. Some
of the boys are right up at the front.
We have ambulances going to the
front. One of our sergeants just got
back yesterday. Schill took his place.
A German aeroplane was brought
down yesterday just mile and half
from our camp. One officer and a pri-
vate were taken prisoner. Some of
our fellows saw the machine.
1--WE have not had any mail for
over two weeks, SO sure are looking
for some soon. Don't know how long
we will stay here, but hope it won't
be long.
1--WE are having fine weather and
this sure is pretty country. If
knew it would go through the censor
would tell you where we are, but it is
something can't tell.
"Give my regards to all the Oakes
people. How is it? Can you read my
letter? Hope so. Hope this finds you
we'll. Best regards to you and your
wife,"

Flower Show

LosAngeles and Portland are noted
for their big flower shows and who
knows but Oakes is starting in the
same direction. Oakes had it's first
show Thursday in the Borman music
room under the direction of the Civic
League and the fine display of flowers
created much favorable comment and
called for more just like it. Mrs.
Slocum won first prize on best dis
play and Mrs. Il. S. Ramharter drew
second prize, each lady being present
ed with cut glass vases.
The League served ice cream and
cake during the show and cleared
$45.

Enemy Rushes New Divisions in
Effort to Save City From
Capture.
TWO VILLAGES TAKEN
BattIefronts In Picardy and Cham
payne Linked by Foch by Attack
Between carIepont and Fonte-
noy for Nearly Two Miles.

Paris, Aug. 2O.-The French are in
the suburbs of Roye. The British are
carrying out flanking movement
north of the town. Extraordinary ar
tillery fighting is under way in the
whole Roye sector. The Germans, in
a desperate effort to hold the town,
are pouring in fresh divisions which
have been withdrawn from other parts
of the front within the last "a hours.
London, Aug. 20.-Launching what
may be described as an extensive at
tack, the French have broken through
the German positions along the vital
sector connecting the Marne and
Picardy lbattlefields.
This attack was over front of ap-
proximately nine miles from near
Carlepont, east Of the Disc, to Fon-
teno, on the Aisne, about six miles
west of Scissors. 1t is officially re-
ported that an advance to an aver
age depth Of 1.3 miles was made all
along the front of attack It is re-
ported from London that an extreme
penetration of two miles has been
made.
Two Villages Captured.
The villages of Nampcel and Nouv-
ron-Vingre have been captured and the
French have reached the southern
edge of the ravine at Audignicourt,
which is between Nampcel and Nouv-
ron-Vingre.
Since the situation along the Aisne
and Vesle and in Picardy has seemed
to be approaching deadlock, indicat-
ing a return to the old trench warfare
of the first two years of the war, an
attack in the sector between the Aisne
and the Disc has been expected. This
line is vital to the German positions
on each side of it. If it should be
broken the whole German defensive
scheme would be thrown out of Joint.
Two Flank Moves Indicated.
While the front over which the as
sault was launched is short compared
with those of the Marne and Picardy
drives. the success attained by the
French appears to point to a possibil-
ity of Marshal Foch breaking the ene-
my's resistance by a flank attack in
stead of direct assault against the
strong positions now held by the Ger
mans between Scissors and Rheims
and between the Disc and the Ancre.
Americans Gain in vosges.
The situation along the Aisne-Vesle
sector is unchanged. The enemy con-
tinues his harassing attacks, using ar
tillery and gas, but the French and
Americans manage to cling to their
bridgeheads north of the Vesle. In the
Vosges American troops have ad-
vanced slightly near Frapelle, which
was captdred Saturday. The Germans
have been shelling the village heavily.
Austrian efforts to regain the islet
In the lower Piave taken last week by
the Italians have failed. In counter.
attack the Italians drove the enemy
back and took 80 prisoners. In the
mountain region the artillery has been
active at isolated points.

German Air Squadrons Are Showing
Great Activity.
Paris, Aug. 20. - German bombing
squadrons have been very active in
bombarding towns behind the front
during the past two days. There were
numerous raids on Rouen, where six
people were killed and five wounded.
The German Gothas flew as far as
Havre where no one was killed as no
damage done. Two consecutive raids
on Verdun caused only material dam.

Several warnings were given at Dun.

Washington, Aug. 20. Austrian
morale is suffering severely from the
Italian propaganda raid over Vienna,
according to Rome dispatches to the
Italian embassy. The fact that Ital.
fans did not do any bombing is de.
clared to have won the admiration Of
the Austrian people and to have
wrecked the popular belief fostered
by the Magyars and the Austro- Ger.
