The Fourth Liberty Loan.

The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan begun September
2Sth and closes October 10Th.
The amount is for six billion
dollars. and the American
people, therefore, are called
upon to raise a larger sum of
money in shorter length of
time than ever before. There
is need, therefore, for prompt
nction-prompt and efficient
work and prompt and LIBERAL
subscriptions.
We have great inspiration
for n great effort. The news
from the battle front inspires
every American heart, not o ly
with pride and patriotism but
with n great incentive to do his
or her part. There is no sbirk-
ing, no shifting Of the indiviiu.
al burden, no seifiishness by
American soldiers in France:
there should be none here. We
arc both supporting the same
country and the same cuuse-
our Army in one way, oursel-
yes in another. Theirs is the
harder part but at Leaf we can
do our part as promptly and
loyalty and efficiently as they
do theirs.

Germans
in Retreat
British and Americans Pour
ing Through Breach Be
tween St. Quentin
and Cambria.

Paris, Oct. IA quarter of
million Germans now are in
full retreat between Cambria
aud st. Quentin, with the allies
hot at their heels, according 10
the battlefront reports that
came in through the night. At
some points the advance has
exceeded fifteen miles in the
last two days.
This forward movement of
the allies is regarded as the
first step in the great general
retreat of the Germans which
now seems inevitable, for it il
doubtful whether General Lu
dendorif has such fortified posi-
tons on the upper Disc, and
Snmbre canal as to permit him
effectively to resist the exploit
alton Of the victory of the last
two days on the allied side.
The success in the Cambria
st. Quentin section of the front
was in large measure mad,
possible by the splendid
achievements of General Gou
raud's men and the Americans
from Rheims to the Meuse. BE
cause break in that part of
the front would have muci,
worse consequences for the
enemy than anywhere else. the
Germans concentrated most OF
their reserves there. General
Gouraud not only succeeded in
holding them therein itself Il
valuable service-bnt notwith
standing the difficult country
and the powerful artificial de
lenses, he has made, and is
continuing to make, wonderful
progress, thus enhancing the
victory farther west.
Yesterday General Gouraud's
forces advanced still farther to
ward the important junction of
VOUCHERS, while the Americans
pushed forward and joined the
French south of Grandpre, thus
completing the conquest of the
Argonne forest.
The result of Marshal Fochs
skillful strategy is that the re-
gion of Laon and the st. Go
balm massif has become so
dangerous that the evacuation
of this vast and important peck
ct in the near future seems i'm
peritive.

FlOrida'S Need of Milk and Milk
Products Is Great

Tallahassee, Sept. 9.-Florida's need
for milk was emphasized at the war
work college here by Miss May Morse,
assistant home demonstration agent,
in the following statements:
1.-THE existence of a nation is de-
pendent on her children. Milk is an
absolutely necessary food for infants
and children, and is practically in
dispensable in feeding the sick and
aged. 1t has been conclusively prov.
en- that wounds heal much more read
lily when the patient has milk in the
diet.
milk contains all the food elements
or substances required to build and
nourish the human body, These sub
stances are protein, fat, carbohy-
drates, minerals and water.
FLORIDA is falling far short in the
production of an adequate amount OF
dairy products. We import $4,000.
006 worth annually. This money goes
to the farmers of the north and north.
west Why shoRld not our Florida
farmers supply these products, thus
helping to relieve transportation con
ditions and keep this vast sum of
money at home.
"The average daily consumption Of
milk in the United States is approx
mately one pint per capita. In Flor
ida our daily average is less than one,
half pint. Our comparative consump-
ton of butter and cheese is proper.
tionately low. The children of the
family up to the age of IL years should
have a quart day. PellagTa, an all
too common disease in Florida, is
caused by an unbalanced diet.
Our county home demonstration
agents report that under their super
vision 5S1 farm women are making
butter and 399 are making cheese.
This is step in the right direction
