BRITISH BEAT OFF VICIOUS couN.

With the British Army In France,
Aug. 20.-British troops, after captur-
Ing Outtersteene ridge. in front OF the
town of Merris, have beaten off q
vicious counter attack and inflicted
heavy losses on the enemy. More than
500 Germans were captured by the
British.
The Germans on three important
sectors OF the western battle front
have been compelled to give up posi-
tions of great strategic value under
the onslaughts of the British and
French troops.
In the Lys sector, west of Armen.
there's, the enemy has retreated over
front of nearly six miles. leaving the
town of Merville in British hands. Be.
tween the Matz and Disc rivers the
French have fought their way to the
western outskirts of the dominating
position of Lassigny, and farther south
In this hill and wooded region have de-
bouched from the Thiescourt wood
and also captured the town of Pim-
PREF. situated in the Oise valley on
the Noyon-Compiegne road.
Around the curve in the battle line
northwest of Scissors the French from
near Carlepont to Fontenoy. on the
Aisne, distance of approximately
nine miles, have driven back the en-
emy to an average depth of more than
q mile and captured several villages
and 2.20O prisoners.
Unofficial reports record the cap
ture by the British of the railway sta.
tion on the western outskirts of Roye,
one OF the pivotal points on the battle
front between the Somme and the
Disc.
The gains are most important for
the allies. for. aside from wide areas
over which the enemy has been COM
PEELED to acknowledge defeat, the
wrenching in the German defense is
becoming daily more noticeable.
Under the new gains OF the British
around Roye. and particularly those
made by the French from Lassigny to
the Oise valley and northwest of Sois-
sons. the Germans now are In a bad
predicament.

THE HUMAN SIDE
OF ROYALTY.

King George, of England, together
with Queen Mary and the Princess
Mary, pay regular visits to the hos
pital wards in England and the king
seems always to be particularly in
terested in the young American sol
diers there. He does not visit the
wards as a ruling monarch of one of
the greatest countries in the world,
but as man full of human sympa-
thy and interest for his fellow men.
The queen and the princess, also
show kindly concern and intelligent
interest in the hospital and all it
provides for the men who are woun-
ded.
In recent visit of King George
to the big military hospital at Dart
mouth he stopped at a number of
American beds and asked kindly
questions of each occupant, telling
one boy who had lost his leg OF the
success he had seen with artificial
limbs, asking another how he man
aged to receive an American news
paper of a comparatively recent
date and expressing his gratifica-
ton on being told that it was sent
by the Red Cross and had been read
by no less than thirty American SOL
diers.
At the conclusion of the visit the
king paused and said collectively to
the ward, Remember, boys, if there
is anything we can do for you at
any time we just want to know it
and we shall take pleasure in doing
it."
This seems, indeed, the real hui
man touch and coming from royalty
it appeals to even the most demo-
cratic mind and meets a response in
even the democratic hearts of our
soldiers overseas.

COUGHS UP PIN
AFTER A YEAR.

Our good friend, Horatio Seymore,
Rural operator at Sidonia, was here
Monday, and tells US that on Friday,
while in the telephone office at ST.
donia, Miss Elsie Wright coughed up
a beauty pin which she had swal-
lowed nearly one year ago.
The pin was one and a quarter
inches in length, and, strange to say,
she was at the telephone office when
she swallowed it and the same two
girls were with her when she cough
ed it up that were present when she
swallowed the pin. The pin was
cankered at both ends, as if the two
ends had been resting on sides Of
the throat, but the center was per-
fectly bright.
During these months the young
lady had developed severe cough
and was being treated for lung
trouble. She was seized with a ter
rible coughing spell last Friday,
when the pin came from her mouth.
Since that time she has been improv-
ing in health and her cough is al
most entirely gone.

WHAT A GROWING
|. LIST MEANS TO YOU

A growing subscription list means
more than just more people getting
the good county news every week.
1t means to the advertiser, general,
countrywide publicity of the very
best kind.
With list already covering the
entire county like the dews of heav-
en-, the Enterprise is able to print
every week the names Of still more
new subscribers, and a big list of
renewals.
These lists spell a great deal
They mean that the citizens of Weak
ley county have faith and confidence
in their county paper. They mean
that these people want all the county
news. They mean that all these peo-
pie are getting all the county news
at one expenditure And they mean
that the advertiser has an opportu-
nifty of reaching the entire county
with his advertising. Many of the
big advertisers are doing this. Many
more will be doing it before another
year passes.
But speaking of new and renewal
subscribers, below is the list for last
week up to Friday night:

KIRBY'S BOND IS
PLACED AT $1,000

The preliminary hearing of Jack
Kirby, Linotype operator at the En-
terprise office, was held last Satur-
day before Esqs. H. J. Butts, L. A.
Glasgow and T. A. Lewis.
The state produced a large array
of witnesses, the defence producing
no evidence. About all that was pos
lively shown in the evidence was
that there was a crowd assembled at
John P. Gallimore's during the alb
sence of his family; that music and
drinking and gambling was INDUCED
in, resulting in fight. No witness
claimed to have seen the cutting
which resulted in the death Of Tom
Irvine.
The justices, after brief confer
ence, bound Kirby over to await the
action of the circuit court, which
meets in December, bond being fix
ed at $4,000. This was readily
made by the defendant.

Expenses.


When he had subtracted the ca
penses from the receipts he had $50 to
pay his own wages and the interest on
his investment of IS, $50. If it had hSen
necessary to pay interest at so on this
investment he would have given his
own time and lost 1922 besides.
What to do? How to decrease the
expenses and increase the receipts?
Jones knew both were necessary
Jones knew that his labor was worth
as much as that of any hired man in
the neighborhood, and that if he had
paid himself wages his labor bill would
have been, not $500, but at least $3.50.
It was perfectly evident that he must
cut down the labor or do more buat
ness. To increase business such a.
Jones' requires either large imm&
date investment or time for natural
growth. He chose to go slowly. AS q
first step towards making his labor
cost balance properly with his bust
ness he dropped one of his men.
Desires Some Money Crops.
1t seemed to Jones that in spite 81
the fact that he had one less man,
there would still be considerable time
when the labor on the farm would not
be used for that which brings in
money. He arrived at the conclusion
that labor could be probably employ.
ed in raising crops that could be sold
at profit He decided to grow to.
bacco, wheat, and soy beans in linn
tied way. To add to his sales and
make further winter work, he mate
rally increased his poultry business
By feeding his skimmilk to pigs and
calves he would be able to turn this
by-product into cash. He felt that
these changes, together with the work
he was doing to increase the yield Of
his cows, would at once turn the loss
into profit and constitute steps in the
building up Of larger and more salts
factory business. They did.
The second years business looked
like this:

FIRST
KILLING FROST

The first killing frost for the 1913
season occurred last Friday morn
ing, Nov. 1, followed by still big
ger frost Saturday morning. The
first frost for the fall was on Sept.
81, but followed a wet spell, and
though a pretty heavy frost, no dam
age was done.
The killing frost of last year was
on Oct. 9. 1t played havoc with veg
citation, and especially late corn,
Thus it will be seen that the killing
frost for the present season is nearly
a month later than last years first
killing frost. The first snow last
year fell on Nov. %. 1t was light
one.

No Lawyers There

There is but one editor in heaven.
How he got there is not positively
known, but it is conjectured that he
passed himself off for a minister
and stepped in unexpectedly. When
the dodge was discovered, they
searched the realms of felicity all
their length and breadth for law
yer to draw up the necessary papers
for ejectment, but they couldn't find
one, so of course the editor holds
the fort.
