Hold Your Liberty
Bonds

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo ur-
ces the purchasers Of Liberty Loan
Bonds Of both the first and Second
issues to hold fast to their bonds. They
are the best investment i'll the world.
The Secretary s statement was called
forth BY the fact that Liberty Bond
holders are being approached from time
to time by agents seeking TO induce
them to part with their Liberty Loan
Bonds and take in exchange securities
which in a number of cases are of
very doubtful value.
The Secretary expresses the hope
that every purchaser Of a Liberty Bond
will realeze that the only genuine help
hat he gives his government is keeping
lii bond as an investment so long as 1t
is possible for him to do so. He states,
however. that there is no just objection
where real necessity exists for its sale.

Good Planting Seeds Are
Scarce

We are just beginning to realize that
there is a great scarcity of good plant
ing seeds. Formerly much of eur forage
crop and garden seeds were obtained
abroad. War conditions now prevent this
importation; our own seed farms are
not able to meet the present demand,
consequently a high price amt often time
inferior seeds is the result There are
several ways to remedy this condition.
some of which are given as follows:
!. Save home grown seed.
>. Cure and store seeds properly.
c. Secure seeds early for planting purpose
before the season begins.
f. Determine the germinatiye value Of
seeds.

Wants G,raveIed RI as

The Lafourehe Leader, in its last is
sue. suggests that other road districts
he formed and bonds be issued to insure
harI-surfaced roads all over the parish.
Messrs. Ernest and Cleo Falgout, OF
Golden Meadow were here last Saturday
on their way to ThibodeauX on very
important mission. When they reached
iorfport, they found the roads bad from
the heavy rain then falling, and know
ing that it had rained the previous day
n Eaceland, they decided to turn back,
although they were aware OF the fact
that It might cause them a considerable
financial loss to do so. We cite this fact
to show what we people OF Lafourche par
ish are losing by our short sightness. We
should have voted bonds and hardsurfac-
ell our roads years ago, so that whether
it rains or whether the sun shines, men
NAV come and go at viii. We tried every
way except this, and each has been fail
ure. The Police Jury has spent thousands
of dollars for road machines and men to
operate them to keep the dirt roads pas
sable, and all has gone for naught. Why
not turn over new leaf, and start now,
and start right. Get our Police Jury to
call for elections in all Of the territory
e,he~a good roads have not already been
provided for, and let the people provide
themselves with this great boon.

Money In Castor Beans

Professor L. A. Moresi, former man
ager Of the Vermillion Sugar Company,
is urging the farmers to plant castor Oil
beans. They grow most luxuriantly here
t,r:e is no crop that will pay better pro-
fits. and costs less, than the cultivation OF
castor beans The government, 1t is SAID
is offering So bushel for them to make
oil for use in lubricating airplanes, gun
carriages. etc, for the war. An acre will
produce from forty to fifty bushels with
ont extra fertilization of effort. That
means from 81 10000 to $4,000 from

The War Savings Committee of this
Parish held large Thrift meeting in
Morgan City for the citizens of the low
er end Of the Parish. While the atten-
dance from Patterson was large many
went to Berwick only to find the ferry
on the opposite side and making no more
trips. 1t would be very much easier
to have the speakers address the people
of the 5th ward in Patterson as it would
be more convenient for them to attend

 BRITISH OFFICIAL
 LONDON. Oct. 23-Over the entire front held by the British further gains have been male by Field Marshal Haig's men from the region south or Le Cateau to the Scheldt river, accord ing to the British official commmica- ton issued tonight. n some places the enemy positions to a depth of more than three miles were penetrat- ed. numerous villages were taken and several thousand prisoners and many guns were captured.
 The communication follows:
 "The attack this morning was de- livered by AnglO-ScOttish troops Of the third and fourth armies between the Sambre canal and the river Scheldt, south of Valenciennes.
 An advance was made over country that was difficult-over many streams and through villages and woods which were defended with much resolution.
 tT, s,I ,F h ha early stages of the battle the hostile artillery displayed great activity with high explosives and gas shells.
 We have fought cur way forward in spite of obstinate resistance. espe- cially by the enemy's artillery and ma chine guns.
 Advancing with great steadiness some hours before ,dawn our infantry penetrated the enemy's defenses along the whole of the front and at an early hour had captured the important viii 1age of Pommereuil forest and Rome ries. On the extreme right there was strong resistance at the fortified farm of Gimbremont and the railway near by but at both places the enemy's de- fense was quickly overcome.
 Left of the center the village of Beaurain, which was held by the ene- my with great tenacity was stormed by the English with the assistance Of tanks.
 "On the left other English troops crossed the Harpines river at an early stage of the advance and captured Vertain.

denarde, where the British also are hard after the enemy.
 Notwithstanding the Iranuc endeav- ors of the enemy to maintain their positions on all three of these sectors, material progress has been made. Likewise, northeast of Laon the French on an eight mile front have delivered a thrust that carried them forward from two to three miles. Into the hands of the British have fallen 2000 more German prisoners, while the Americans west Of the Mouse have also gathered in numbers of the enemy and a considerable quantity of his machine guns.
 Veritable nests of machine guns are being encountered by the Americans as they attempt to press forward along the front from the Mouse to the town of Grand Pre-, situated north Of the Arsonne forest, but in spite Of these obstacles they have taken furth- CT ground and at last accounts were steadily keeping up their pressure against the enemy. Extremely heavy counter attacks have been successful ly sustained north of Grand Pre-, and on this sector particularly strong con centrations of enemy artillery fire have gone almost for nothing. On the western bank of the Mouse the town of Breuilles has been taken, the enemy having burned and evacuated it and retreated in the general direc- tion of Dun.
 Exactly what has been accomplish ed by the French in a drive northeast of Laon, except that they have gained over a wide front, has not yet be- come apparent; but it brings appreci- ably nearer MontcOrnet, the last inn portant railroad junction in this re- zion.
 North and south of Valenciennes, Field Marshal Haig has continued his attacks against the Germans and ev- anywhere made good progress. Be- tween Le Cateag and Solesmes a sharp wedge has been driven into the German line threatening the town of Maubeuge on the east and outflank- ing Valenciennes on the south. North of Valenciennes the town of Bruay has been captured, virtually making Valenciennes untenable for the ene- my. To the north of this region the

 AMSTERDAM. Oct. 23.-Advices re- ceived here from Vienna say that the first steps toward constituting a Ger man. Austrian federal state were talk en at a meeting held Tuesday. which was attended by all the reichstag Ger man deputies. An executive committee was elected and resolutions were adopted in accordance with the ob- jects of the meeting, which include the formation of an independent state and a decision to seek access to the Adriatic by agreements with other peoples. It is the intention of the pro visional assembly to act until the election of a national assembly, which will frame a constitution. A provi- sional government claims the right to represent the German Austrians in the peace negotiations.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-10-24

menace to the Germans to the north and south of the front attacked is hourly growing.
 Further retreats are expected.
 North of the third and fourth armies the British first army continued its attacks and reached positions well to the northeast of Valenciennes. which is gradually being squeezed out. It is probable that the Germans have already evacuated that town.
 The British are approaching Leques- nov and were only about three miles from the gates of that place, accord ing to latest reports. and were still advancing.
 The heaviest fighting seems to have been in LEveque wood, which is still being cleared up, although the British have passed completely around it and are before the great Normal forest. On the edge of this the Germans were reported to be concentrating at Preux.
 Catillon was taken early in the fighting by assault. Ors is in British hands. The Germans, before retreat ing, blew up all the bridges over the canal between CatillOn and Ors.
 One corps holding the center of the fourth army front opposite La Cateau had taken 800 prisoners early in the day.
 The infantry massing for the attack was supposed to be a target for the German artillery, which concentrated a heavy fire on two points, east of Bazuel and east Of Le Cateau, just before midnight. The infantry. how ever. moved forward on schedule and soon had jumped the Germans clear out of the first of their hurriedly con structed defensive positions.
 This was about 1:3O this morning. Since that time the fighting has been continuous and shows no signs of quieting down.
 To the north of the battle zone slight gains were made today. The Escault canal has been crossed at more places and patrols are pushing out. This movement undoubtedly is being hastened by the wedge driven in south of Valenciennes. The retreat from the canal, if it actually has be- gun on a wide scale, will, of course, have it's effect nOrthward toward the DulCQ DOIueT.
 According to the best information, the next line the Germans intend to stand on is through Amougies, which, under normal conditions, should be reached in two days. After That they have a line west of Brussels which may be reached before the end of the month. Further back there is a line on the other side of Brussels on which much work seemingly is being done.
 Ten prisoners just taken here were in the hospital at Ghent a few days ago. They say the hospital and all the war material behind the entire front is being moved to Germany as fast as possible. Evidence is accu- mulating that the defense of the Ger mans, even if they stand on their various successive lines. is designed culy to be temporary.
 The Germans again are destroying material by fire. They even have applied the torch to rolling stock on the railways, which they apparently believed they were unable to get out
 British airmen ir tOday's operations took q heavy toll from the personnel of the German transports with bombs and machine gun fire.
