Barefoot Days in Arkansav

Barefoot Days, in Arkansaw
Where are the blne-jays, the low-Aying
wrens,
And Lady Bob White, who layed with the
hens;
The corn-pullin' crow, with seventeen eyes,
Far-glimpsing gun, squawked swift for the
skies?
Where the pit-alder, we used for rod,
Snuff bottle of worms, sometimes clod;
Snuff bottle cork float, eight-sewing thread
line,
When mem ry goes back does the sun still
sinner
Squattin' on your toes, stonebruises on you
heel,
Watchin' of the cork, ticks you didn't fee
Comes a whoppin' bite! Hook up in tree,
You coined words in which men take pride
Then feed your red-worms to minnow and
perch,
"Gosh durn! Paw told me I must 60 to
church: =
Cows was in the corn, thatll be my
excuse
Can you beat it now with your auto juicei

DrNcH HAVE TAKEN OVER PART OF BRITISH LINE
 .pE ENGAGED IN COMBAT WITH GERMAN FORCES

ment reports the defeat of English, French. and American" reserve troops. Again all official or unofficial verification of this claim from an allied or American source is lacking. The belief here is that the German high command aims to add lustre to it's successes by including Americans among troops alleged to have been defeated.
 The Berlin report also says
 "We bombarded Paris with long distance guns"
 Paris confirms the repetition of the bombardment today, but continues to speak of one gun. The damage and casualties are negligible and the gen. eral theory is the shelling is politi- cal one.
 The outfanking of the British posi- tions on the Somme came after the British between Peronne and Ham had valiantly beaten off new crossing attempts and even thrown back to the east bank the enemy groups that had bridged the stream yesterday. In the north, above Bapaume, as far as Wan court, Haig's troops throughout the day maintained themselves with he- roic bravery against assaults of ter rife force.
 But once Bapaume had fallen the enemy was able to push on to the west and southwest, rendering the maintenance of the British left ex- tremely perilous and acting in a con- verging direction with the German troops, which. under the crown prince, had crossed the Somme below Per onne.
 There, Haig admitted, the enemy pressed the British back and further south, Nesle and Guiscard had to be yielded to the Teutons.
 Up to a late hour this evening there was still some uncertainty with re- gard to Combles, half way between Bapaume and Peronne. Here the British had put up terrific struggle. The German official reference to the heights west of the town, however, indicated that Combles, too, was fin ally abandoned by Haig.
