GERMANS REMOVE
STORES IN SPITE
OF GREAT BATTLE
Allies Continue TO Gain Ground
Fierce Fighting Is Still Under
Way-Many Machine Guns
Captured.

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, July 23-The
fighting continued throughout today
north of Chateau Thierry. The Ger
cepting the Allied challenges and
struck back with great vigor. The
fighting Immediately north of Cha
teau Thierry was so fierce as almost
to rob it of the suggestion that it was
rear guard action. Nevertheless 1t
was known that while the intense
struggle was progressing the work
of moving stores was under way.
At least at one point the fighting
was more nearly in open order than
has been usual With a minimum ar
tillery fire by both sides the Ameri-
cans advanced their skirmish line
over yellow wheat fields, dotted with
poppies, and through clumps of wood.
1t was Indian fighting modernized by
machine gun work.
The Germans left on the field a
great number of machine gunners in
nests. Many of these guns were cap
tured, and the entire personnel of a
machine gun company tonight is
swelling the already big list of pris-
oners taken by the Americans.
Northwest of Chateau Thierry the
artillery played an important part.
Here the Americans encountered the
stiffest resistance, a village in this
sector being reduced by the American
guns, as its occupation by the Ger
mans was imminent. The enemy was
punishment was inflicted.

TRENT HAS DEVELOPED
 INTO MILITARY CAMP

HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN ARMY, May 2. (by mail. prisoners captured in the patrol raids along the mountain front tell of the intense activity which centers at Trent, the railway center of concentration, where all the Austrian men and supplies are brought down for use in the Brenta valley, Lagarina valley and all along the mountain front.
 The city itself, they say, is a huge military camp which extends ten miles southWard to Calliano, and eastward through the Sugana valley which is the great artery leading to the Brenta val ley and the plains of Italy. The rail ways have been trebled, so that this whole section is joined by 6 network of railway sidings and connections
 The military administration is car ried on chiefly at Trent, the head quarters being in the Pretoria palace near the famous old cathedral of Trent. where the council of Trent was held. Nearby is one of the main bar. racks located in one of the historic monuments of the city. In the Piazza Dante the bronze statue of Dante has around its base number of delapi- dated cannon which are claimed to be trophies of war.
 The city is practically evacuated of its civilian population and given over entirely to the military authorities as the base for the military operations on the mountain front.

HOLLANDS FOOD SHORTAGE AFFECTS GERMAN CHILDREN

URGES BRITAIN
 U ENCOURAGE
 SUGAR CULTURE

LONDON, June 8.-In a report on the sugar supply question in Great Britain, Professor George Marineau of the University of London urges the | British government to learn from Germany and the United States, which he describes as the two countries which have handled the sugar ques- tion most successfully" Speaking of Germany's success with sugar in theI past decade, he says:
 "Thcre are several causes at the bottom of this mystery-energy, abil- ity, efficiency, and, more than all, persistent research, which constituted the first and best cause But this was supplemented by a stimulus de- signed to induce capitalists to risk their money in the beet root industry.
 "It was Germany that hit upon the right kind of stimulus. It was a brilliant idea and carried out with great judgment. The sugar duty was levied, not upon the sugar produced, but the roots. This at once stimu- lated the farmer to produce the rich est possible quality of root, and the manufacturer to extract from the root the largest possible quantity of sugar. Great pains were taken to breed an iu1Trnup6 rio ,G
 This research still goes on in Ger many, and it's success has been as founding. At the beginning the sugar beet contained less than 6 per cent of sugar, In Germany the average quantity of sugar actually extracted has been brought up to practically 1S per cent.
 That this wonderful result was caused by the stimulus, plus, of course, great efficiency, is proved by the fact that poor France continued getting a per cent yield until it adopted the German system, and even then never succeeded in catching up in the race. That is the worst of being too late. In industry it is fatal"
 In the United States, says Professor Martineau, the industry has been SO carefully fostered that the production has increased many-fOld. If Amer ica had not created this great increase in production" he explains, i've would at the present moment be suf- fering-and so would America-frOm a real famine.
 "In 1915 the consumption of sugar in the United States amounted to the large figure of 425O,OO0 tons, every | ounce of which, with the purely acci- dental exception of 23,O0O tons, came | from her own states, territories and protectorates. This striking fact is en- tirely the result of giving a prefer ence. The United States, so far as sugar is concerned, is now entirely independent of the outside world, and is even able to spare us a million tons whenever We are short of sup plies"

CONDUCTED BURIALS IN STATE
Large Amounts of Money Spent by
CoIonists of Virginia in Exercises
Over Their Dead.

In colonial Virginia funerals were So
cial as well as solemn occasions, as is
shown by Mrs. Mary N. Stanard in her
interesting review of the seventeenth
century customs of V~irginians. When
death entered the planters home mes
sengers were sent on horseback over
land, or by sail or rowboat up and
down the rivers to notify friends and
relatives, while in the kitchen the big
pot was put into the little one; for
not only did the ~colonists bring'with
them the English custom of the fu-
neral feast, but much of the company
that would be ere long at the door
would arrive hungry after a journey
of many miles and would remain sew
eral days, consuming a great quantity
of food and drink. The funeral ex-
penses of John Smalcombe, who died
In 1915, included a steer about four
years old and a barrel of strong beer,
which together cost nine hundred and
sixty pounds of tobacco-nearly four
times as much as the coffin, which cost
two hundred and fifty pounds. Powder
spent at this funeral" cost twenty
four pounds of tobacco.

AN EXPERIMENT IN GROUP OWNERSHIP;

Back in the Dark Ages of American
Culture, before the French Accent had
found its way to the Farm, and when
the Cabbage Coaxers in u rura'
Districts still pronounced Vaudeville
"vawdavil" instead of "Vodeyiel,"
there lived a Snowman whose chief
Asset was a performing Mule. The
name of the Snowman was Wage
Payer and the Source of his Income
was dubbed Industry.
Now it so happened that Wage
Payer had spent a number of tedious
yea teaching Industry 20 perform

Snow Worms.

In Germany the term ssnow worm"
is applied to the larva of a beetle often
found in the snow. Many species of
insect are commonly found on glaciers.
The most abundant of these are the
springtails, which hop like miniature
fieas or wriggle deftly into the cavities
of the snow, but are so minute that the
passerby needs to look for them in or
der to see them. Snow-loving spring
tails are not confined to glaciers; they
occur in great numbers on the surface
of melting snow on bright, sunny spring
days through the northern United
States.

War surely pulls people together,
and it's effects in better understanding
among business men are already so
plain that if peace comes tomorrow
the new cooperative measures adopt
ed by many of our industries and
trades the last six months would go
far toward paying for the enormous
war outlay to date.
All the cooperation now existing
and planned between manufacturers is
recognized by labor to be ineffective
without its whole hearted support, and

read the printed words, then raised
his eyes to the girls face.
"You were right. 1t does contain

Did you direct this?"
For answer she took a pencil and
card from her bag and wrote his name
upon it.
He placed it beside the envelope and
studied the two. His glance again fell
upon the printed slip which, after a
moments hesitation, he read aloud:
"Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bowie en-
nounce the engagement of their daugh-
ter, Mary, to Mr.. William Berkeley.
The wedding will take place in the
early fall"
For a time he looked absently at
the clipping, then his eyes sought and
held hers.
"Not If I can prevent It." he said at
last. "Do you think I will let you go
out of my life without protest"
81 have never been in your life."
The reply came a trifie breathlessly.
"You have probably not realized 1t
any more than I, but this" touching
the slip of paper, "makes it very plain
to me. The trouble has been I have
never had time for play, but in the
back of my mind has always been the
certainty that you and I would live
out our lives together. There has
been no time for play nor for that de-
lightful experience, courtship, and
courtship is what a girl wants, is it
not?"
"Surely it is her right" The reply
held a touch of asperity.
81 suppose so and now I have no
time for it. This letter came two

FATTENING FOWLS

In f~attening poultry they should be
confined in a small pen or crate. Ex-
ercise produces hard muscles which
meaaHs tough meat while non-exercise
leads to a softening of the muscles
which are tender when cooked. Soft
feed should be fed as a lack Of exer-
else interferes with the proper diges-
ton of whole grain. The feed should
be finely ground and mixed with wa
ter, milk or buttermilk. The follow
ing proportions have been found very
satisfactory: u finely ground corn,
ID shorts and Ia ground oats. Use
the foods that are reasonable in price.
Corn is rich in fat forming elements,
but barley and ground plump oats can
form a larger part Of the ration where
they can be secured cheaper. The fat
tening period should not last over two
weeks, if continued longer there will
be a loss of vigor in fowls without ex-
ercise. This fattening will increase the
weight considerably as well as i'm
prove the quality. BOOSTERS not to be
carried over and poor layers should
be culled out and fattened. Put them
in the f~attening pen.
